like this, the dread reepere-ibility of which
they cannot escape, in which, by u deliberate
and solemn act of Government, they have
plated the naturalized citizen, not merely in '
a position of political inferiority to white men, I
tilt to negroes, and by which they have in
augurated a policy that, if fully developed,
would lead substantially to the disfranchise
mentof all future emigrants.
It does not admit of doubt that many worthy '

should now be satisfied that all of this rigma

What Nations Fight Hardest?
A Few tads and Figures.—Assuming the
French and Austrian bulletins to be true--
and they are the only data we have to go
span—the total number of killed and woun
ded oa both Odes at Solferino, a fight which
lasted fourteen hours, was 29,375, or seven
per cent. of the whole number engtized. On
comparing this with the list of killed awl
wounded in other decisive battles in this
country and in Mexico, we are constrained to
conclude that our own trixps. the English,
and even die Mexicans, whom it has been the
habit to depreciate, are much harder fighters
than the French and Austrians. Let us re

Revival of the Slave Trade
The N. Y. Herald got up a story the other
day, of the secret landing of some sixty or
seventy cargoes of slaves, in all 15,000, prin
cipally on the Florida coast.
The Albany EreniagJortrual copied and en
dorsed the imminent, and said it was true,
and that the authority was not to be doubted!
Now as every one knows that the Ilcrabl and
Journal served un ler the same banner in the
campaign of 1856, this endorsement of the
Journal went a great way with the o publie,
But while the witness is on the stand, lot
Us crostscismine him a little. Being further
examined, and confronted with the denial of
the Washington papers. the Herald says :
" A far better authority t h the Washing
ton journal—one whn onght to know, arid
who is in the very Ileum of the twin-et-5u.-
tiling the Herald, arid Wt vi ' its statement is

of his parlit ipatiity in Me/dare tra Ific ; but ho
is mistaken, as he will find nut to;fure he has
concluded the reatrn; of this short article."
The lielaid then goes on to explain that a
number of anti-eJaccry and Black Republican
leaders in the North entered into a secret con
federacy to embark in the blare trade, the ob
ject being two-fold, ris tosmake money and
injure the Democratic party. We copy :

The SinceMy of the Freedom Shriek-
DM
We curly below an article from the Frank
lin Patriot, published at F.trinington, MC.,
which is rather calculated to stretigthen the
belief entertained by a greqt nittoy perm ins,
that there is a great deal t» ire hyp.n.risy than
sincerity in the professions of the Black Re
publicans of,New England:
Mr. Ellis died some three years ago, in
Booneville, Missouri, where he resided, leav
ing an estate of some fifteen thousands dol
lars, abut h.,lf of n filch consisted of slave
property. I.))ing w•thont issue, his brothers
and sisters, and their representatives, inheri
ted the estate. Three Of the heirs resided i n
this town, one in Strong, one in New Sharon,
one in Fayette, one in Gardiner, and uric in
Lowell, Mass., and every one of theta belong
to that class who. are ever ready to " shriek
for tree.hoin," and crocodile tears toter
the suffelitigs of the •• our sla‘e." As these
slaves came into th.!ir lands without any ef
fort, cost or sacrifice tin their part to obtain
them, it would cert...ittly be more reasonlbls
to cxpeet their Itheration at their hands than
from Southern slateholders who hare paid
for their Mutes, acquired them as they do
other proper's, been accustomed to their ser
vices and familiar with the institution all their
lives ; yet the result proves the reverse to be
true. These conscientions anti-slut ery Re
publicans cnauiroottsly decided to have their
slaves ,sell into thutperpe.tial bondage which
have so strenuously deno-need as the
" SUM of all villainies." The:r deeisios has
been carried into effect. The shires hare
been sold by the adniiiiistrator in 31 by
tlicir orders. A gentleman of this village,
who went to Missouri as agent. for the heirs
to close up the estate. has just returned, bring
ing with him six or seVen thousands dollars,
dividends arising from 'hi sale of slaves and
other propirtv up to this"titne, a portion ut
the property iuring been m e ld on time. the
proeteds of which are nut yet available.—
Doubtless these " freedom awl humanity"
brethren will continue to advocate the aboli
tion of slut ery—)ingling their slave money in
their pockets while they abuse Southern ?dove
holders, including those to whom they have
sold theirs. for nut liberating their lionduten.
Such is Black Republicanism in New En
gland.

We receive intelligence from every part of
the country that our earnest appeal to the
Democracy "to let by-gones be by-gone.,"
and to harmonize fraternally for the consoli

epprovaL The cry which beginning to
ring from the mountain tops to the valley
depths is the union of patriots fur the sake of
the Union. It is the sentiment which is to
save, and which alone can Pay°, the ooluitry
from the horrors of Sewardism. A trinngn

belligerents in the Presidential contest, which

Austria preserves Venice, but she will forte
an integral part of the Italian Confederation.
The news was received with acclamations at
Paris, and the whole civilised world will re

Napoleim for the purpose of preventing toed

The ralllO correspondent says unfriendly

Tho Wheat Crop of 1859.
The whi at crop of this country. just bar

m !lions of bushels, or about forty millions of
biarrels, or bne an.l three•fifths of a barrel of
flour for every one of the twenty-five millions
'of indt‘itluals in this country. This would

:20 SO 0.000 . The New England States have
decreased in their production of wheat, hut
the West has increased four to one. The

On Saturday evening week, a young lady
named MARCIARIT Dcaz, living in the family
of Mr. DANIEL Teosma, at the Western llotel,
in Chambereburg, attempted to fill a fluid
lamp, whilst burning, from a half gallon tin
can ;'but the fluid ignited and was scattered
all over the door of thedining room, and in
an instant the room was filled with flames and
she was enveloped in them. The bar-tender,
Mr. N. Srettimo, and a boarder, named dons
dow to her rescue, and in attempting
to tear the burning clothing from her person
were gaite seriously injured.
The young lady was burned an badlyt4int
she died on Monday afternoon. Her suffer

was burned from her arms, the upper part of
her back, her breast, neck and head. Her
face was so much swollen and disfigured
that her mother could not recognise her.
