THE SLAVE TRADE.-The numerous arrests
of siaver, masters, merchants aud seamen
during the past year or two have exercised
a very salutary effect, as shown In the last
intelligence from the African coast At
Loando, and up the Congo there were 28,-
900 negroes in barraccOons, but no vessel to
take them. Some idea Of the immensity of
the tra6c may be obtained when we state
that 100, 900 negroes are said to be annually
imported into Cuba, their average value
per head being $500, or a total of $4,000,
600 the profits of the trade are shared n
New York, Cuba, England, France, Spain
and Portugal. To put stop to it our
Government spends about $l,0O0,0OO a
year, beside many valuable lives. The cost
10 the British of their African squadron, Is
much greater. Through the energetic ac-
tion of Capt. Schufeldt, our Consul at Ha-
vana, the fitting out of slavers at that Is
land has been practically put stop to. II
our other Consuls were equally earnest in
the work, their efforts would doubtless
meet with like success, but there is 80 much
business done in this line as to lead to the
inference that a vast deal Of bribery pre-

Affairs In Louisiana. .

The St. Louis correspondent Of the Bel
letin furnishes the following extract from
the New Orleans Crescent, Of November
23d:
Accounts were received yesterday that
the naval expedition for Kentucky was
progressing finely towards its destination,
aud that the great floating battery was 70
ing on finely. We dislike to Say any more
of the movements of this expedition, as tbe
internal spies and Black Republican sympa-
thisers will be sending off their bearers OF
dispatches. There was some talk last eve
ming of the withdrawal of the Sd Missise-
ippi regiment. Col. DeasOn, from the sea-
shore, a0d of its embarkatiOn for Columbus
last evening. This leaves the seashore Of
of Mississippi Sound unprotected, though
there is nothing of consequence for the pic
ayune marauders TO steal but few chick
Gus, pigs and cows. The villages offer
nothing more to attract their attention.
The correspondent adds
Here is an admission that Louisiana is
somew hat in the condition of Arkansas, and,
like the latter, has its traitors TO the South.
A regular Union conspiracy was not long
ago discovered in New Orleans, and many
of tae participants discovered aud thrown
into prison. One of the acts Of these "c0n-
spirators" was to communicate intelligence
to the blockadDg squadron, by sealing, up
dispatches to the Federal naval captains IN
bottles, and setting the bottles adrift in the
current of the Mississippi. This plan, how
ever, is made available by secessionists at
Cairo, who performed the bottle feat for the
benefit of Polk and Pillow at Columbus.
The great floating battery spoken of by the
Crescent is huge dock. which the COnfed-
crates have partially plated with iron and
mounted with o number of large cannon.
1t is to be towed up to Columbus, and will
there from part Of the gun-boat squadron
collected there under the command of the
rebel Commodore Hollins for the defence
of that place. The balance Of the squadron,
including the "ram' Manassas, is already
there, excepting the gun.bOat TuscaFora,
which was burned on its passage up from
New Orleans.

Burning OF the Confederate Gun-IsOats
TuscarOras

The rebel gun-boat Tuscarora, which was
lately dispatched from New Orleans for Co
10 INDUS, KY, was burned below Memphis,
and the crew made a miraculous escape.
A Memphis paper has the following account
of the accident:
The Confederate gun-boat Tuscarora
while coming up the river last Saturday,
was discovered TO be on fire about hslf-past
IL O'Clock, about fifteen miles this side Of
Helena. The flames, when first discovered
were seen issuing at the forward end of the
boiler, and directly under the wheehhOuse.
The wind was blowing aft very strong, and
the flames, despite the efforts that were
made to suppress them, spread with fearful
rapidly. The boat was run ashore as soon
as possible. BY this time the whole boat
was in flames. The engineer opened the
water pipes Immediately. SO as to save the
magazine. He had hardly time to knock
out bulkhead aud jnmp into the water be-
fore the shells in the forward and aft she'll
locker commenced exploding. The crew
tried to throw the powder in the magazine
overheard, but they had no time to do II, as
the explosion of SHELLS commenced 10 about
seven minutes after the flames were first
discovered. The captain and all the crew
escaped unhurt The explosion Of the shells
set the negro quarters on Mr.. Bartiett's
plantation on fire. besides firing the tops OF
trees and all combustible material.
Two of the officers and four Of the men
were left in charge Of the wreck. Capt. G.
W. Dunnington, four officers and the re-
mainder of the crew reached the city yes
terday morning, on the steamer T. D. Hind
from which point they will proceed to Co
lumbus. None Of the crew saved anything
but the clothes upon their persons.
When the Natchez and Ferd Kennett
passed yesterday the wreck was still burn
ing, aud the magazine, being at the stern
and covered with water, was safe. The
wreck it is thought, will be raised without
difficulty, aud at comparatively little ex'
Denge.

Curious Discovery In Ireland.

In the month Of July last some ancient
regal ornaments we're found by Q poor
countryman. The circumstance attracted
general attention throughout the country,
aud several parties expressed an anxiety 10
obtain the ornaments, which were of pure
gold, and consisted of crown and collar.
An intimation was even sent through the
authorities, under the regulations of treas
ure trove, demanding the ornaments, Of
course at'their proper value. They bave
since been publicly exhibited in the colleC.
tion of the Dublin Society, and much ad.
mired by those who relish antiquarian re.
searches. The Messrs. Hynes offered the
countrymana handsome dOuceur If he would
point out where he found the relics, but this

value might be discovered in the same 10.
cality. He has, however, at length divulged
the particulars. The man resided at place
called Skea. near the celebrated ruins Of
Clanmacnoise, or. the brink Of the Shannon.
In the course of some agricultural opera.
tions, he removed large flag which opened
the passage TO a spacious cavern, in which
were found the crown aud collar, together
with some ancient bronze weapons and sev.
eral utensils used for culinary purposes
The discoverer of this singular labrynth
kept it concealed from the knowledge Of
any one for considerable length of time;
but at length be has been induced to show
it TO a very few individuals under promise
of secrecy; and, as be is about TO leave this
country for Aust Italia, be intends for con.
sideration to lead the way to this subterra-
mean chamber, evidently the retreat of the
ancient monarchs who reigned in the local
ity. The intricacies Of this hidden apart
ment possess many singular vestiges of

perfect security and concealmeDt, for If any
pursners had the temerity to tread the tor

the surface of what appears to be lime
stone crag. Among other relics of by.gone
days are ten elabOrately ornamented slabs,

CAPTAIN MoRGAN's LATEST EXPLOITS.

CAPTAIN MORGAN'S LATEST EXPLOITS.
The Corinth Miss correspondent of the New
Orleans Picayune gives an account Of an interview
between the celebrated Capt. John Morgan and the
Federal Gen. Buell., at Nashville, which is worthy
Of record as part of the history of the times
1t seems that Capt. Morgan, having learned that
Gen. Buell. had determined to hang four Of his men
as outlaws, who had been taken prisoners in his
memorable scout of March 4, he proceeded with i
flag of truce and ten of his men to Nashville On
his way he met Gen. Mitchell with lasge force of
the enemys cavalry, and to whom he made his OBJ
ject known. Mitchell said he was Just going out to
search for Morgan, and regretted to meet with him
under the protection of flag of truce Morgan
with a meaning look not to be misunderstood, as
snred the Federal General that no one more than
himself shared his regret and his disappointment
and hoped that an opportunity would soon offer Of
meeting nm under more favorable circumstances
Mitchell then gave Morgan an escort, and accom-
panied HIM to Buelfs quarters Buell. was greatly
surprised at meeting with the bold partizan face to
face, and, evincing little uneasi,less asked to
what circumstances he indebted for the honor
of this visit
Morgan replied that his errand was Christian
one; that ne had been informed that General Buell.
had threatened to hang four of his men, who had
been taken prisoners outlaws, in violation of the
rules OF war and civiizatVn that he had thirty six
Federal prisoners in his possession and that if such
was Bueiis dctern nation, he should retaliate by
hanging nine FederalS for every one Of his men.
Buell. d'sclaimed any such intention, and said he
should never violate the usages of civilized warfare
Morgan then proposed an exchange of the thirty
SIX Federal prisoners for his four ren. saying that
the difference in numbers was but fair valuation
Of the services of his troopers
Buell. replied that be was compelled to decline
the offer, as be cond negotiate with an officer
| inferior to him in rapk.
"Thst is unfortunate. sir" replied Morgan, "as
tho objection could not hold good in any other
sense" and the interview then terrainated 1t was
after this that Morgan learned that one of his men,
named Love, had been shot after be was taken pri-
