TIE NEGROES AT PORT RoYAL.-A cor
respondent writing from Port Royal TO q
New York paper, thus treats the negro
education plan:
am engaged Just now in scouting about the
woods and swamps, and in the negro houses,
for concealed arms and ammunition. Yesterday
we took negro spy, whom am now examin-
ing. He spoke of the tide being about two
hours high, and when questioned him to know
what idea he had of time, he said "You know,
massa, that short days hours are shorter than
long days hours, so It takes longer to walk to
Beaufort in long day than it do in short day,
cause the sun go round quicker" And this
negro is looked upon as comparatively bright.
To suppose that the Southerners have any fear
Of these blacks, is to suppose them the most ar
rant towards in the world. When they are
driven away from their novels, they return
again, like domestic dog or cat, and starve at
their own doors, unless some one else will feed
them or tell them what to do. A few genuine
shrieking dominies came here few days ago
on mission to the blacks, but after amusing
themselves with them awhile, gave themselves
up to the flesh pots of our officers mess, and
confessed that they had entirely misconceived
the character and condition Of the plantation
negro. Christy has never come quite up TO
some Of their heathenish, monotonous dances
and antics. Some Of our officers who came here
rank AbOlitiOnistS, have got thoroughly con-
verted.
1t is well enough to add, that there is as
much difference among negrOes-as there is
among the different varieties-ofG Gaucassians
Some Of the blacks. are qnite intelligent.
while others are as iunOnant and stuDid: as
those referred to above.

ABOUT THE Circuit JUD0EsHIP.-The Alta
Of Thursday, qualities its statement that
Chief Justice Field had been offered the
Circuit Judgeship, by saying:
The resignation Of Cutler McAllister, as
Clerk Of that Court, was reported at Washing
ton as the resignation Of McAllister, and the
presumption there was that Judge McAllister
had resigned. Thereupon, gentleman high
in Office there, but not connected with the Ad-
ministration, sent a dispatch to friend of
Judge Field, inquiring whether the latter would
accept the position. The reply was, that he
would accept, If the law were amended SO that
the Circuit Judge Of this State could sit on the
Supreme Bench, as do all the Circuit Judges
east of the Mississippi. Judge McAnister holds
Office during good behavior; and illness, or even
incapacity from old age, win not justify re-
moyal

FINDING FAULT WITH JEFF.- The late re-
verses to rebels, instead Of being attributed
to the weakness Of their cause, are regard
ed in the South as having been OccasiOned
by the incompetency Of rebel leaders. A
Richmond paper lately stated that the Con-
federate authorities appeared to be COM
pletely paralized, aud hinted that they
would have TO make way for leaders OF
more energy aud talent. A Richmond cor
respondent of the Charleston Mercury, thus
writes, in late communication:
We have President who suggests not a sin
gle measure for the relief of his country at this
trying juncture. His replies to late resolutions
calling for the publication of Jenifer's and 9TH
er reports would seem to indicate that he re-
CARDS any question put to him by Congress, as
a presumptuous interference with matters that
do not concern them. l feel with inexpressi-
BILE grief that the cause is in imminent danger,
in consequence of the unhappy perVersity of
one man, and it is my duty-for even a news
paper correspondent has duties oftentimes
most solemn-to acquaint the country With the
truth. In talking the matter over with one of
our ablest congressman, he expressed the opin-
ion that unless Mr.. Davis by change in the
cabinet, and other measures, indicates dispo-
sition to meet the crisis, nothing would be left
us but TO close with him at once. told him
that change of the cabinet and OF the gener-
ais would do little good, so long as the Pres
ident's character underwent no change. He
must cease directing his cabinet and the armies,
otherwise matters would 90 on precisely as be-
fore. He sighed, but added that Mr.. Davis
was much subdued by our late reverses, and
far less imperious in his manner than he has
been up to this time. This was two days ago,
and as yet, there is no indication Of a change
Of any sort.

INDIAN MURDER.- Daniel Dunbar was
found murdered on Wednesday, in . cabin
oO Mud creek, about Eve miles from Chico,
in Butte county. He was shot in the breast
aud stabbed four times In the eide. There
is little doubt that the deed was committed
By mountain Indians. The house was rob-
bed Of every thing, eveH to the clothes Of
the deceased, which must have been strip
ped from him after he was dead. He had
been seen al the house on Tuesday and was
doubtless murdered that night.

WEARING AwAY.-The bed Of the Yuba,
lust below the plaza bridge, is fast widening by
considerable encToachments upon the further
bank Of the stream, says the Marysville Appeal,
against which the current has been diverted eV--
eT since the last freshet. A large amount OF
land has been gradually caved into the stream,
until large oak tree, which has been land
mark near the bank for many years, has oeen
obliged to succumb, and has pitched over into
the drink. The Yuba, is less likely TO be nav
iQated hereafter than ever before.

SATURDAY EVENING, APRIL 26, 1852.

CLAIMING A VICT0RY.--Ac Accounts from
Memphis represent that the rebels claim
the battle Of Pittsburg landing, (or Shelah
as they call ~ as 9 victory. Their claim
rests on the supposition that the Federal
loss 10 killed, wounded and prisoners was
greater than the rebels As yet we have
nothing definite as 10 tue losses on either
side, and the rebel loss perhaps never will
be known; but the leading facts connected
with the engagement, are pretty we'll SET
tied. The rebels came up with their whole
force from COrlnth and attacked the Fed
erals. After twenty hours hard Sighting,
extending through two days. the assailanis
returned to CoEinlh, 1t is fair to be presum'
ed, somewhat faster than they advanced,
leaving their dead and wounded upon the
field. They were not pursued any distance,
but after the battle the left wing of the
Federal army advanced and took posses.
SION Of the railroad at Huntsville and De.
eatur, thus cutting of railroad communica'
ton between Beauregard's army and the
rebel headquarters at Richmond. The bat
tie was not decisive, butin the present con-
dition Of the rebel cause they can i'll afford
to fight drawn battle.
