Mr.. Conway brings the information that these
people are actually starving for want of food
and suffering greatly for want Of clothing.
They have neither shoes nor woolen clothes
nor salt for the fish upon which they have to
depend for subsistence. They have never &C

Times.
The following is from the London Times &"
the 1th instant:
To the Editor of the Times:
SIR: A friend has called my attention TO III,
report in The Times, of the Sd instant of lrc
ture on I" The Civil War in America" by Ne
W. S. Forster, NJ. p. in which appears the fol-
lowing viz "Mr. Forster gave several quo'a.
tions from Southern speeches and writings con
iirmatory of his intention among others, the
speech of Mr.. Yancey, one of the Southern
Commissioners to England, who, in supporting
his motion for the revival of the slave trade in
the Southern Convention in Alabama, asked
rs the great grievance Of the South, What Nc
came OF our equality with the North, when lhn
law was passed that said You of the South
shall not import negroes from Africa, though
you of the North may import jackasses FROM
MaltaT"
AS my opinions are deemed to be Of sufficient
importance to be quoted by Mr.. Forster, il is
proper that they should be correctly stated
have never made motion for the revival al
the slave trade" The facts to which Mr.
Forster alludes are these: In the Southern
Commercial Convention of May, 1858, Mr
Spratt introduced resolutions to revive th,
slave trade. I offered substitute simply d.,
claring the Federal laws Furnishing the trade
rs piracy to be unconstitut nal, my resclli,
tons being based upon the view that the +. Il.
efai Congress had no right to regulate slavery
in any way, and cond only legislate to pro-
tect it {: but that the States had the right TO
prohibit and punish, or encourage the trade, as
Zach saw proper.

The Paris Pdus of October 10 calls psrticu
lar attention to correspondence which Il

General Mcclellan is mentioned In fatter ng
manner. In introducing the article, the Pays
s,vs. Our readers will find in this correspond
ence proofs of the activity which General Nc
Clellar las exhibited 10 the organization, no,
only of the army which he commands, aud
which is opposed to Beauregard, but also o
everything which concerns the rapid dspaI ch
of military affairs about Washington.
The requistion for assistance In military
