Nay more, the ‘-trade” was not carried on with the Southern States at all, but with the Spanish West Indies. And even Mr. Boyce, of South Carolina, went so far as to express a desire for a law to prevent those “Yankees” building ships for such piratical purposes,—^hile a member from Georgia expressed the belief that in all that State a hundred men could not be found in favor of re opening the “trade."

Deo’r 27, I860. 82-4t There are a good many Republican members of the House of Representatives, who, during the recent campaign, electioneered for themselves, and for “Lincoln,” pretty extensively and suc cessfully, on the strength of the alleged com plicity of the South, with this (Yankee) re-open ing ol the African Slave Trade; but on this occa sion we do not see that any of these gentlemen ventured to reply. It will do to represent that “the South” is re-opening the slave trade down in New England, or up among the rustics of St. Lawrence (’ounty, N. ¥., or out among the fana tics of the Western Reserves,—but it will not do, we can see, on the floor of the Capitol, face to face, with the parlies accused.—N.

A Tlip African ISlnve Tnnh.—The Charleston Mercury, in its review of “new publications,” has the following notice, which is political rather than literary: * TAf Lake Regions of Central Africa.—We have read some fifty pages of the work with interest, and so far with profit. But our interest in .Africa is exceedingly small—almost wholly limited to our recognition of it as a grand mart whence we should draw fifty thousand barbarians annually, who, with good muscles and limbs, have never yet properly learned how to use them; and who, in their pre.sent condition, are quite useless to themselves and to the rest of the world. We should like to divide some half a million of these poor monkey people among the rice and long cotton planters between the Ashley and Savannah rivers, half a million more 1 among tfie rice planters between Cooper River and I Cape Fear, and a million more among the cotton plan- I ters along the Pee Dee, the Santee, the Edisto, and Sa- ! vannah rivers, where the poor negroes, rescued from I cannibalism, might be taught to earn iheir bread by honest labor, become decent Christians, forget canni balism, and appreciate the beauties of the cotton field.” NEAREST AND QUICKEST ROUTE TO THE RAILROAD!

The Japaneit Bill.—The items ot the cele brated Japanese bill have at last been presented to the New York Common Council, the aggregate amount having first been brought down to 982,- 000, a reduction of 842,000 from the sum claim ed. The Tribune says:— “The Committee carefully abstain from stating the amount of these bills, as originally presented; perhaps ; it was not convenient for them to do so. The Messrs. j Leland take the largest slice, claiming $09,094 06. From their bill we select a few choice particulars. For ! the board of seveniy-six rice eating Japanese, for thir- I teen days, they ask the modest sum of $17,910 61, or ! about $18 a head per day, for princes and menlala j alike. What a complication of gout, liver complaint, j and dyspepsia, these simple people must have brought ; (Tn themselves by consuming Si 8 worth ofluxuries every j twenty-four hours. But if the Jnpnnese were lavish, j what must we say of three Naval Commi.ssioners'who I had them in charge? Their bill for thirteen days is . S2,120, or over $54 a day for each mani which, to say j the least, is rather a modest style of living. For ball , and supper, $38,863 is charged, and the further sum of { S7,172 31 for decorations for the same, We suppose i these latter items are put upon the same liberal basis as ! the bills for board, referred to above. In the bill of the Committee, we find that the Japanese had $300 worth of secretaries. S3.654 75 in music, $500 worth of steam boat, and $723 75 in printing and stationery—almost enough to set up n newspaper. On carriages they were particularly hard, no less than $7,854 50 having been ridden away Henry Lilly, H. L. Myrover, S. T. Hawley, Nathan \. Stcdman, C. B. Mallott, James Kyle. A. .\. McKethan, .1.

At whose door do you lay the complaint? At the door of your Government? At the door of your Constitution? At the door of your Union? Who has made the charge that the General Government has failed to protect your rights under the ConRtitution and irvthe L'uion whenever called upon to do so?

It is the manufacture of •‘white” gunpowder. It is made no mystery of, being composed of yellow potassa, chloride of potassium, loaf sugar, crystalized snirarand brim stone. It possesses superior qualities over the black powder, being quicker and more powerful in its action, and not fouling the gun.
