HTe i have only about 151.000 black 'ttella in. the, -Stale i according to. the OlNer's' omWwiiwta'iloT tfir5iajt;"ttat that no other deoiocrajt can. carry cludeajkll slav. nriw 19. unti Kn Then c- I thi Rtato if reonilarlv nnminatnrl. is as falsi as it. is " - , l cording to the proportion in 1850, we would o&T'i have about 142,000 under 12 and over 50 : . making 293. 0o0 in all. So. that aconrrfirxr t.n th nrnnrtrtion number of slaves were carried Sooth for sale, and by emigrants. B"ween 1840 and '50, cotton was low and so were slaves ; consequently, there was no demand or mar- ket for them South, and they remained here. Since 1850, cotton has again gone up,. and so have negroes hetice the present extraordinary high prices. The result has been, that we have continually seen dro- ves oi our slaves going south. And these droves were principally composed of women and children, small ooys aud girls ; so that the natural increase has been cut oil to some extent. The same cause ves ot our slaves going South. And these droves that operated between 1830 and '40 to prevent an increase iu number of slaves have operated equally as strong since 1650. These are facts known to all. And, I think, sustain me in the opinion that we have not more than 290,000 slaves in the State at this time. As to the number of black poolls in the Stute, I took them from the statement of the Comptroller, and which I find copied in nearly every Opposition paper, just as 1 had them viz : 147.913. But the Observer winds up by stating that the deficiency of 195 thousand dollars, (which I showed in No. I.) would be created by ad valorem, after taking off the $50,000, the amount of the taxes ta ken oil' of real estate, would leave $145,000, which sum would be a surplus or that much more than would be required. Now, 1 showed by facts and figures, that Ad Valorem would re xice the present taxes on property, principally in tho hands of the rich, $175,000. And, that after applying the in crease taxes on slaves, to the the deficiency created by reducing th , tax on real estutc, there would re main a deheieney of 30.000 in the treasury ; which added t the $175,0(.f) would make the sum of r. 5,000, whijb would have to be made up by tax ing other property, not now taxed. Yet the Obser ver, with tiiese facts before it pretends that $115, 00!) of Unit sum, would be a. surplus and not neifd c i . To.- ObrcfrvT mu.-L fec-im, .lu....-."-. " w1 "" iiiJecL. to . "y ccjnpcUed V resort to such prrv r xion.i as that, to sustain ad valorem. In the last i't ens I find an editorial and two com munications in reply principally to No, 2. I vill first notice a little calculation in the arti -le signed "Common Sense." He puts the whole n4i- ber of slave' in lie Statftat 00,000, and averfjva iiiem ut jSUO ahead; just ld7 dollars and '37 ? is. n the &v'reage value negroes in (Jeoi,:a. more th.

Unly-31 million more than -vOininon Sense" values our ne- groes. If he be iy rect, we may expect to see droves of slaves coming from Georgia to North Carolina, for sales instead of seeing "our negroes, ,iailv, carried Sosth for sale. Such calculation as thi n..eds iio refutation. It was put f..rth to deceive and mislead. The rest of the statements, ,,f Sense " are on a r.:ir with rt,,. fo,-,....,: . " ' v" 'a-' mg. The Press, and tly other writer, who calls him self "Truth," tacitly admit that my calculations are correct, so far, as the reduction of taxes are con cerned, on the species of property named in No. 2 but, endeavor to avoid the force of theni, by sayi'n" that the stock, 3cc, of Forsyth, will not have to be taxed tp.uiake up the deficiency; that it will be put upon other counties; but were very careful not to state, which counties. I suppose the intention was to have the .mpression, that it would be put on the i-...,.,- !,,, C th :.i . ,ut the F w;.-Jle Observer spikes that gnu TU fc .r !tj. divide. the Counties into Eastern , Jtcril.Alld in .plving to a speech of Mr c,Alltw(.u on Ad.Valorem, it s.vs : 1 ..The E;(St a lut,e ih bajf t,lie taxes );m , h ft JmQ(! than haif the Senators. And under Vthe proposed change (Ad-Valorcm) the East can-scarcely by possibility gam moi than one ge(iater, for its increase of taxes will not be -vne-fif- teith part of the whole, or twelve thousand i nlsu-s. Aud vec these Eastern counties have 89,016 black polls, and the Western only 58,897. A nd ad vol arem cannot poasibly increase the whole tax upon the East more than $12,000. This proves that my calculations, showing that ad valorem would, mit increase the tax on slaves more than 30 thousand dollars, was even over the mark. Now what becomes of the cry of the Opposition, that, ad valorem will take the tax from the poor man aud put it o.vah negro. 1 stated in 7. 2, that I believed Forsyth was . : Z " avfS county.-And there l ve care-.

Not only were the sidewalks crowded to prohibition, hut the windows and housetops were alive with human be ings. The federal government is said to ha e al ready expended $1,000,000, from first to last, in efforts to bring about a good understanding with the Japanese government, and to secure an advan tagous treaty, and there is no doubt that the money has been well expenv;- I saw, this morning, a specimen of Japanese veg etable wax. It was in the possession ol a chemist wlib had just been analysing a portion of it for a down-town merchant. My scientific friend informed me that this vegetable wax has all the qualities of bees-wax. The officers of the Japanese Embassy say that the supply of this valuable art cle is inex haustible in their country. It can be imported here for o'ne fourth the cost of bees-wax. "Tommy" is reported to have gone rather too far in his attentions to a young lady who boarded in the same hotel with ;iitn at Washington. In common with others of her sex, she used to u ake a point of way-HayingJiim three or fourtitn'-sa day, each time exchanging cards with him. it seems that the girls used .to toy with To nniy and caress him, thinning r." harm of it.

They had no more hesitation aboul going into Tommy's room than about visiting each othei's npartine as. One young lady in particular was very importunate. She wanted Tommy's like ness. She itould havH his likeness. Tommy had two or three excellent daguerreotypes of himself, and it is fair to suppose that she ahuded to one of them. But Tommy did not so understand her re quest; hence his firm and persistent refusal to ac coniniodate bis fair friend, notwithstanding all her coaxings and endearments. It appears that, in Jap anese, as iu European languages, words liave many and different significations, and that wheu a Japan ese lady asks a gentleman for his likeness, slie is understood to mean a living one. Tommy, whose knowledge of English s quite limited, thought naturally enough, that the same pdlcuiiarity exists in our language. Hence, his heroic virtue. Human nature', howeMtr, is pretty much the same ah the world over. One afternoon, the young lady wen to Tommy's room, arid, haif in play, half in earnest, she refuseu to leave witliout his likeness she alluded, of course, to one of the three or four w hich were lying on the table. But'Tommy, not so under standing her, complied with her request, a In Jtp-. anoise; compassionately and reluctantly, however, and remarking, as appropriate to the occasion, "America muchee greatee country ! Somehow or other the affiir has leaked out, tho gh not throus1' a'a,y lack of reticence in Tommy, whose reput""1' j as a man 01 strict nonor 111 an ajfaires au w. . stands unimpeached in his country.

As to, Tojumy marrying the young lady, the ambassador pledges himself to lay the matter before His Majesty, the Tycoon, who will communicate with His Majesty y. the President of CV- United States, on the subject. The young lady is reputed to be anxious to blacken her teeth, pluck her eyeVjrcws, and cross the raging main with her beloved 'i'ttuyuy, and the latter is understood to be willing to 'Harry the young lady, but to be unable to do so without risking his life, unless he first receive the imperial ivotJxi TUa atb6giiA.r further suggested o. the father that it may be better for him and th other male relatives of the young lady to a postpone a recourse to the ''happy dis ' I patcir ;dimboweling themselves.) until His Maj esty, the t'resKient ot the u-auen &Utes. receives a communication on the subject from His Majesty, the Tycoon, which m&y probably be favorable but that the relatives of the lady should be of coarse. ruled bv their own ludmont. as thev know best the ' J . - . - - . .'I'., 1 ; requirements of citizens in America, aril whctlietit is possible, uuder the circumsUinccs, to let their bowels remain in statu quo sunt until they hear from.
