10 Negro slavery has been greatly dis
turbed by the war growing out of the rebel
lion. The yoke rests uneasily upon African
necks. The only slaves who now hug their
chains and seem to like them, are the white
slaves of the North-those who are willing to
eat dirt for JEFF. Davis and to become the in
great Southern politician - has argued that
negroes do not make the most tractabe slaves,
and he might point to the North for the proof
of his assertion.

WASHINGTON, Oct Z.
Among the letters to JEFF. Davis recently
captured, is one written by Gen. Gadsden, of
South Carolina, dated Mexico, as far back as
1854, when Davis was Secretary OF War; de-
veloping the scheme Of a great federation of
the West India islands, including Cuba, to be
formidable commercial and naval power,
stimulated in their advancement and prosper
ity by African slavery, as now existing in the
Southern States, where southern planters of
enterprise would find space and inducements
enough to seek new homes for themselves and
domestics in the most lovely domain of Gods
creation, and all united in harmony under one
Homogeneous American system.
Military Governor Martindale to-day trans

tial. The penalty prescribed by the enrol
ment act, is fine not exceeding five hundred
