Tiik Slave Trade.? The New York corelf, respondent of the N. O. Picayune says: Advices lately received from Liberia give ve' us some curious revelations iti regard to | llie slave trading propensities of some of the cant philanlhropical nations of Europe. ..b, Ftance, it now seems, wants a few more wj- black apprentices for her South American I"* colonies, and has sent an agent, "in behalf tlie ! of llis Imperial Majesty," to pick them up cy. i along the coast of Guinea. rt'? ! The Mrilish Government undertook a "n- i like emigration movement in 1853, and 1 1'iesident Roberts, of Liberia, protested my ; against it as being only the slave-trade until dcr another form. This public announcement of the difference between England's practice and England's theoiies caused her on to desist on that side, an J gave a new itnpet us to the Coolie slave trade. The l'resith dent of Liberia now publicly protests against lt" the trading scheme# of the French philan J* lluopist#, and wo wait to see the result. , ? The manner of procuring free labor HpmI prentices on the Coast of Guinea is thus thv forth: "The native laborer# Hro not at liberty, j according to native usages, to do as they cut ! please about volunteering for this ernigra mr lion. M. Chevalier must first obtain leave ' eli iq 'inuke trade' by a present to the 'bead J man.' Then-the laborers must volunteer yl.l' or not, as the 'head man' bids them. Arid lu-y when the volunteer receive# his 'seven '? French dollars' lie may not keep them fot ;01!' his own use, hut must deliver theui to the yy 'head man' who 'listt'.bute# ti part among L.nli the leailing men of the tribe, and keeps the cry rest himself. The laborer* are afraid that fh?- j the 'head men' will compel them to voluttu''" . u-er, and therefore call on the Hbertan "ft Government for protection; and hence this u.vc pioelamation." an These proceeding# of theli litish Govcinment in 1853, and the French in 1850, are ?'-v not a little curious itt view of the lute anvry i ?... ... , ... , . It | Willi 0|?iU!? lias COIIM'lllfU IO hi- the same measures for introducing 40,000 Idly 1 negro apprentices into Cuba.

On learning that the deed was foul, those great pliilunthrur | phis withdrew at once; but Spain must apii..M pease her own conscience if she does wrong. uth So probably slie will be allowed to go on j upon her own responsibility to meet the ,EU 1 contumely of the woild. It is wortliy of uf a { notice in these humanitarian limes that the 'he I Coolie slave trade in the Pacific, and the rlial ^hicaii slave trade to Cuba, arc carried on i upon a scale that laughs to scorn all the r of j statistics of the old fashioned slave trade tl>?- that so exercised NV.lbeiforce and his fob | lowers." ant1 _ _ unl. I ,4,.. I MI'OHTAN r DlSCOVKUV AT JKKl'SALEM. ?'iy : A letter from Jerusalem of a receul date, in ?1' | the Auyttbur>j Gazelle, says: "In digging out the foundations of a house which is building in this city for ihe f..i- Aiistiian Catholic clergy, the woikiuen dis ? o'l covered, at a distance of about fifteen feet '' a i from the sui face, sevetal - u bier rati en u rooms, )( I the walls of which are of hewn stone and ,u?. : the floors of mosaic.

In the orti eial returns of the State, Calhoun county nile stands blank, no returns received.

True, my lord, true," rejoined , v the King, "we'll rarke a bishop of hinj, and | he'!' nci er prtaeh again." i THE DECOTAH'S CAPTIVE^ While the Spanish colonists ravaged the J southern |hm tion of North America in quest I of gold, and the English planted the germs 1 of self governing on tho eastern coast, the j French were but the agents of home merchants, who enjoyed a monopoly of the various traffics, and were sustained in the enI joy men t of it by the strong aim of milita ] ry |?ower. To the trading association in i particular wo owe the discovery of the j Mississippi, by the sons of one of tho mem 1 bets?tlie intrepid La Salle. In this day, lead was first discovered within the present j limits of the State of Iowa, but the noted ' Julien lhilimpiu was tho first who taught ! the Indians to collect the ore, and make I an ai tide of trade of it. lie was not only { a brave but crafty man, and after bis death, [ the savages, in compliance with his dying I wish, deposited his remains on the summit ; of a high cliff overlooking the "Father of Waters," securing the mouth of the mausoleum with a massive leaden door of a ton weight. They then burned his dwellings J and erased every trace of civilized life : around his settlement, except the orchards ' planted by his own hands. Vandal whites afterwards cut up the door to sell, but the name of DuIWiquo will ever be remembered in Iowa. Yeais passed away. The white flag of France no longer waved over the Mississippi valley, and the bold frontiers-man, advancing on the foiemost wave of civilization, crossed tlie liver in quest of lead ore, game, and fertile soil. One of tlie first settlements thus established, was formed by a party from Kentucky, led by the grntwLire r . i " - 1 1 ' ui mi* younger generation?old Joe LVates, a noble specimen of a frontiers-man. Seventy winters had whitened his long lock*, but lie was still hale and hearty, able to wield an axe with any of his sons, or to draw bead on a litle with that fatal accuracy of aim which had enabled him to render good service at the battle of New Or leans. Selecting a good locality on the very shore of the Mississippi, old Joe and his sons built a log cabin, surrounded by a stockade to keepi >tr the l)ecot?lis. Then surrounded a "clearing" with worm fence, deadened the standing trees bv tile fatal axe circle, and planted corn. When the corn was well above ground and freed fioin weeds, they began to "prospect" for lead oie. Thus far they had seen i.o Indian*, and began to flatter themselves that the "icd skins" had left the countiy to their peaceful possession; but the wily savages had kept a constant watch upon their move j merits. IVihajts, hail they confined them I selves to agiicultural labors, the intruders j might have gone ou unmolested, especially j as the Dccolnha wished to conciliate the i United St .tes (.rovi-inuieiil into a profitable i treaty, but when pick axe? were wielded in I Search of lead oie, the destruction of the 1 pale-face* was resolved upon in council. , 1 lie tils', object of savage vengeance vvas \ (lie oldest son, Frank 1 talcs, who bad built I him a cabin about five hundred yards from j "head tjuaiters," despite the warnings of old Joe. Frank, however, had no fear of I Indians, and lived with his wife and ha he ' in gicat happiness, u t* 1 one summer's . night hen he was awakened by the loud | bat king of hi* dogs. Spr inging from his bed, bo looked through an opening in the logs and -aw to hi* horror at least lif I w j ty iJeeulah*, in full war costume, evidently seeking the easiest wav to force an entrance rnto the cabin. Arousing his wile, he raised a Cellar trap door, and was ahout 1 to send her down, when the child she had ! left in the lied lagan to c ry. "1 cannot leave my babe," she said. "Nay," he exclaimed, "I will take care c * i i .. ?? - * ? - * i ??i 111< liny, aim aimo-t torcitig per down I into the small cellar, lie closed the Unhinged I door, over which lie drew a large chest. ; Then, seizing his rille and hatchet, he took , j the infant and ascended to the lolt of the cabin, pulling the ladder up after him. A moment more, the door was forced from its hinges, and the Decotahs entered eager for * their i ley. Hut Hates did not remain to watch their movements, for lashing h i * hoy to hi* shoulders, he cautiously opened a i shutter in the gable of the loft, and seeing that no Indians wcie hetiealh, jumped to i the ground, rille in hand. Kre he had traversed hislittle garden, the air rcsoutided with the hlood-chilling tones of the war-whoop. and :t volley of arrows rained around the fugitive. Happily only one struck him, and that in the fleshy pail of the arm, so that lie kept >11 straining every netve to reach the stoeKa-'o around his father's cabin. Hill ero he had gone many paces a gigantic Indian overtook him. Turning like a stag at hay, he faced Ida antagonist, knocked him down with the butt of ins iijle, and then sped on his ; way. Hut linw, to his horror, he saw a large body of I'ecotalis around his father's dwelling as ho approached, tiring over on to the toofs of the cabins w ith arrows to which hurtling tow was attached. 11o paired?hut the ciic* of his hoy aroused him to a sense of his own danger arid his wife's perilous situation. Direct ing his steps towards the liver, where he i found Ids "dugout" safely moored, ho mon wa? paddling across the river to a settlement where llieie wore a large number of * biles.

(i Chicago.?A fow days ago, says the Chicago Tillies of the 2il ult., a young Ger- j man named Leyndecker committed suicide | by swallowing an ounce of laudanum, lie 1 was about nineteen or twenty years of age, _ , and, it is said, received a liberal education in Germany. He was, however, an infidel, or "free thinker," believing neither in fu^ turo reward nor punishment, and scarcely in j . a future state of any kind. lie lived soleI ly for tho present, and when ho found himself beset on all sides hy creditors, and had ; not the means of payment, he considered of I the shortest way to get rid of thein. One day iie inquired of a fellow clerk what poison would quickest kill a man. The cfcrk answered, "fake an ounce of prusaic acid." Leyndeckcr immediately took out a memorandum hook and pencil and wrote it down. It appears that he afterwards conclu.j ded to alter the dose. After swallowing the laudanum, Leyndccker wrote the foli lowing letter to one of his fellow clerks in f; the Recorder's office. To be convinced of Iiii craziness it is onlj necessary lo read | j iliis most singular production of his brain: 1 Otto Pelt/ek, Ksq. You only, of all my friends, deserve to iccuive the last greetings of a dying?of a man who prefer* to take a dose of laudanum lo be dishonored.

Permit me lo confess, Otto, that you have V been the dearest of my acquaintances and 14 so-called friend*. Perhaps this confession ?e of a friend, moving to eternity, will gratify you. Throw my remains into any pit, but : ,l> with the face upward. Farewell, Otto. 1 '1 Death approaches. 1 feel already Lis ice llj. cold hand upon my throat, and his damp V breath Hows over my pale forehead. To !* die by laudanum is very sweet.

His only son, William* was Governor of New Jersey at the time of the declaration of independence, and did what he could to prevent the Legislative Assembly of Now Jersey from sanctioning the proceedings of the General Congress of Philadelphia. These efforts, however, did but little to stay the tide ot popular sentiment in favor of resistance to tyranny, and oson involved him in difficulty, n? was deposed from office by the Whigs to give place to William Livingston, and seut a prisoner to Connecticut, where he remained about two rears in East Windsor, in the bouse of Captain Ebenezer Grant, near where the Theological Seminary now stands. 1778 he was exchanged, and soon after went to England. There he spent the remainder of his life, receiving a pension from the British Govern men t for the losses he had sustained by his fidelity. He died in 1813, at the age of 82. The opposition of the son to the cause the father espoused, produced an estrangement between them, and in Frankliu's will, speaking of his son, lie says: "The part he acted against me in the late war, which is of public notoriety* will account for my leaving him no more of an estate be endeavored to deprive tne of." Ancient Wheat.?Two years ago, a scientific gentleman, in making archaeological researches, in some of the ancient tombs in the South of France, tound imbedded with some preserved bodies a species of wheat not now in existence. It was a habit in the days of the first Gallic Kings to place in the coffin of embalmed persons a certain quantity of wheat. Some of this wheat was sown, and the gentleman was astonished to see sprout forth from sixteen to twenty stalks from a grain. As they grew, the stalks became angular and mucu stronger and more vigorous than the common wheat. When the grain formed, it was found that there were on an average twenty more grains in a head than in the ordinary wheat. A considerable quantity of this ancient Gallic or Roman wheat waa sown last fall on the Government farm at Uambouillct, and great reports are arriving of its productiveness. The ordinary wheat of France is, 1 suspect, only the degeneralion of this ancient wheat, diminished in vigor and productiveness by the centuries of reproduction through which it had pass* > ed. This discovery will lake us back through fourteen centuries for our seed i wheat, and will put France suddenly in | possession of one eighth inore agricultural j wealth than she possessed before the die' | covety! At least these are the expectations ! t>ui!i upon it, and it is to be hoped that ! they will be realized.
