EDITORIAL CORRESPONDENCE.
Memphis, Not. 12.
After one of the most agreeable trips
it was ever my lot to make from Des Arc
to Memphis, we arrived here yesterday
morning at 9 o’clock. The Gen’l Pike is
a “capital boat” and her officers all that
could be desired, both as gentlemen and
experienced boatmen. Her capacity for
Um accommodation of both freight and
paaaengers, is equal to many on the Mis
sissippi that are noted as “ the very best
that float.”
Not a little excitement has been created
here since Wednesday proceeding from
the Arrest of one W. R. Palmer, who is
charged with complicity iu the late insur
rectionary movement at Harper's Ferry.
Ha was committed to jail, and has made
attempts to be heard by writ of habeas
corpus, which has been justly denied him,
and he has been remanded to prison to
await a requisition from Gov. Wise of
Virginia. Palmer was committed in de
Ault of bail to the amount of $2,500.
A fnilmv tvhn crave* Itit ns John
- ' o
Birnside, proclaimed himself an aboli
tionist ml Helena on the 10th. He was
treated to a “ride on a rail” and ordered
to leave the State. The rail has been
marked^nd may be seen “on exhibition”
at the Helena wharf boat, properly vouched
for a* the identical rail that others of like
prineipMs may expect to travel astride of
should they visit that particular location.
Both Juge Caroiherg and Judge Me*
Kiernan refused to grant the petition of
W. K. Palmer for a writ of habeas carpus,
and the accused is mil retained in custody
in pursuance of the decision of the com
mitting magistrates. It is intimated on
the streets to-day, that startling develop
ments have been made through various
letters found in Palmer’s possession. His
Complicity with the Harper* Ferry affair
is believed to exist to a greater or less ex
tent. During his trial the feelings of the
people were excited, and I have little
doubt but that lie deserves much severer
treatment than that which was “meted
out” to Birnside at Helena, a few days
since.
Notwithstanding the low water, and the
large quantity of cotton for shipment in
the hands of Memphis merchants, you will
observe from the reports of the market
that good prices and a fair demand for the
great staple is kept up by the business men
of this magnifioient point of trade and
commerce. The sales of cotton “yester
day aggregated near five thousand hales—
an amount exceeding any day’s business
since the opening of the season.” M.

19* The Ouachita Conference of the
Methodist Episcopal Church met in Mon
ticeilo on the ‘2nd inst. In the absence
of the Bishop, the Rev. A. Hunter was
called upon to preside over the body, who,
says the Sage, does it with that dignity
amiability which refiects credit on those
who honored him with the* position. We
have not yet received the proceedings.

Agricultural Association. We arc glad
to aee this, and hope that other counties
will soon follow suit. It is high time that
the people throughout the State should
manifest their interest in improving the
quality of stock and agricultural products.
And we may add that the way to accom
plish this, is for every county in the State
to have its Agricultural Association.

Important Decision.—The New Al
bany Ledger says: A question of im
portance to steamboat owners and those
sending letters containing money by them,
has jusi been decided in our Circuit Court
by Judge Biekneli. The case was this:
A man named Sas« avers that he placed
in the hands of the clerk of the Tisho-!
mingo a letter containing seventy dollars.
This the clerk denied, and Sass sued the
owners of the boat for the money. J udge
t>:_i II j. .1 i .
—.wwuvn m^iucu viiiu mtr uoai was 1101 au
thorized 10 carry letters containing money,
and therefore the owners were not liable.
Sf&“ ft is well remarked by the New
York Post ibat Sir John Franklin has ac
complished more for the cause of arctic
discovery by his death, than he ever
could have done in his life. Had he suc
cessfully escaped the ice, and returned to
£ogbod, curiosity about the Arctic regi
ons would have been for the lime quieted.
But his long absence and the mystery
which shrouded his fate, have led to ex
plorations numerous and daring. The
(wenty-threo expeditions would not have
sailed, nor McClure have discovered the
ft
northwest passage, nor Dr. Kane bnve
penetrated to wilhin eight degree? of thp
pole, nor a hundred other discoveries
been made, had not Franklin died twelve
years ago, on King William's Island.
gjjy At the annual rneeliug of the j
Grand Lodge of I. O. O. F. of Arkansas,
commenced at Little Rock no the 2d, and
i concluded on the.Rfh inst, the following

Aid tor Brownsville.—The Mem
phis Avalanche of the 12th inst., in re
ferring to the fact that the Mayor or
Brownsville, Texas, having petitioned for
aid from the Government, says, “last
night it wns rumored in the city that dis
patches had been received from the Sec
retory of War, authorizing the enlistment
of volunteers to proceed at once to the
scene of hostilities. This is not so im
probable as it might at first appear, as the
Government as already dispatched all its
available forces—a company stationed at
Baton Rouge—to Brownsville, and all the
regular troops are now stationed on the
frontiers farther North, from whence it
would not do to withdraw them at present.
If it should be the case that the Govern
ment desires volunteer companies to be
eurolled for such a purpose, hundreds could
be enlisted in Memphis at an hour's no
tice."
New Senators in the next Con
gress.—The following named gentlemen
will take their seats for the first time in
the United States Senate, on the first
Monday in December next, on which day

Hon. Willard Snulsbury, of Delaware.
Hon. John W. Grimes, of Iowa.

Hon. Thos. Bragg, of North Carolina.
Hon. H. B. Anthony, of Rhode Island.
Hon. A. O. P. Nicholson, of Tennessee.
Hon. J. W. Homphill, of Texas.
Senator Nicholson was qualified and
took his seat at the special session in
March last.

Toughts on the African Slave Trade.
The Constitution contains a clause pro
tecting this traffic from prohibition prior
to the year 180S. It was not only regard
ed no criipe, but engaged in by all sec
tions of the Union, more especially the
Northern, and thought worthy of distinc
tive Constitutional protection. No soon
er, however, had the twenty years safe
guard elapsed, than the descendants of
our wise forefathers pronounced it piracy,
enacted a law agninst the trade, and
affixed the penalty of death to its viola
tion. It certainly appears plaiuly that a
mere statement of these facts is fully suffi
cient to prove the folly and injustice of
the law. It is a fundamental principle
of criminal law that the punishment should
not be disproportionate to the offense.—
But here we see the African slave trade,
n legal traffic, countenanced by the sacred
Constitution of Government itself, instan
taneously declared a felonv. This is!
__ __i... . nn *» j_. l • _ •>
" * |>IVV\ UVUI. TV IIU% VIUCO mio l .
Merely that the law is an insult to the
South, who claims slavery as her dearest
institution, and pronounces the bondage
of the negro as not only right but phi
lanthropic.
The South looks upon her slaves u3
property in precisely the same sense as her
horses, or even any inanimate personal
property. Will the South then permit
herself louger to be dishonored by sub
mitting to a law which denounces the
traffic in that properly as a crime ? Will
she idly allow her most cherished institu
tion' to coutinue abstracted from all other
institutions for the purpose of being in
sulted and branded as au infamous felony?
To purchase slaves in Virginia is cer
tainly as great a crime in morals as to
purchase slaves in Africa ; and if one be
right the other must certainly be. Hut
slaves purchased from Virginia are taken
from as good masters there as they are
taken to further South. But the slaves
purchased from the African coast are
taken from savage masters, who brand
them, torture them, and at pleasure kill
them; from masters of their own color,
the most brutal on earth; from such mas
ters they are purchased and brought to
thiscouutry to masters who will take care
of them, clothe them, feed them, and put
them in reach of the gospel influence.—
Therefore, to purchase slaves from the
coast of Africa is more philanthropic, and
of more benefit to themselves, than to
purchase them from Virginia. Therefore,
also, the law making the African slave
trade piracy should be repealed.
When the Congressional law shall be
repealed, it may then become a question
among individual States whether more
slaves are needed or desirable. Missis
sippi may think she has a sufficient num
ber to cultivate her lands, and that more
would injure her interests. Then let Mis
sissippi pass a law prohibiting the intro
duction of more slaves into her borders
from Africa or any of her sister States.
But Arkansas may think she needs more
slaves for the development of her sesour
ces. Then let Arkansas pass no prohibi
tory law, but say nothing and allow ne
groes to be imported until the wisdom of
her Legislature pronounces that a suffi
cient number have been introduced. So
of all the States. Is not this fair ? Is it
not just? Is it not our right.— [Helena

the will of the deceased, were abont to de
part for free State. The whole number set
free was about forty-four—men, women and
ehildren. Of these, thirty-seven left, the
balance preferring to remain in servitude in
