The word Yankee, says the Ledger

which means tooth, in the Massachusetts

Indians called them Yan-ktfe.

deal of interest seems to be felt in our com- ?

William MnKenaa's Writ", whoke death was 1
announced in our paper of last week. This f
arises from the fact of the very considerable 8

We hear reports, (says the Colnmbus; j
Enquirer,") which can hardly be otherwise j
than correct, that a fresh importation of Afri- j ^
can negroes has been made somewhere on ' .
our Southern coast. At least a large portion, \
is not all, of these negroes have already i ,
been conveyed far from the place of landing,
and are safe beyond the reach of Federal of- j
ficials. It would seem as if an "underground I (
railroad" had beeu established through the ,
South, which promises to do as flourishing !
a business as the older institutions of that j (
kind at the North?unless, indeed, the "per- j ,
sonal liberty" bills pending before the Le-!
gislatnres of New York and Massachusetts :
shall have the effect of largely increasing
the business of the Northern branch. Uncle

neither.

Hughes and two of his puiists have
bashed up a salty dish Of scandal for the odifioatlon
Of "the faithful" and the rest of mankind. It
appears that the Bishop gave one of the priests,
Dayman, when in destitute circumstances, a place
with permission to preach, which the latter did.
in terms foo strong even for "the faithful." He
quoted in a sermon eertain words ftom'SaintOhry-'
M>6tom (as lie says) to tbfr effect that "Hell is
paved with the skulls of bad priests," thtis'ccjee-'
ting the orthordox idea of gold'en titles of "good
intentions." The Tiishop could not stand this, so
the edict of suspension was issued against the
priest, who in bis tarn refused to obey and
leagued with a aeccmd priest, Des Camps. Tb?last
named, according to the Bishop's evidence, is
a disciple of lunacy of many ytars standing. But
whichever way this may be, both together are a
good match for the Bishop with the pen, a.nd they
hold the ground of dispute at an advantage. But
the Bishop has the whip-hand o( authority, and .
the difficulty will doubtless be suppressed, inas- !
much as the Rojnan Catholics sillow no schisms. A. ;
female mixed up with the qttarrei to make the j
scandal- The occurrence is. significant as showing \
the mora liberal construction placed on tlie doc- j
trioes nnd authority of tht Romanists in this coun- j
try. Enlightened opinion and free discussion and |
education must and will exert an influence upon*1
this religion. The age is advancing and drawing j
everything after ic. Education of the classes is
the groat moral force that increases its niomen-.'
turn.
Giddings, the Ohio agitator, is here lecturing
young New York on the "Higher Law" as applied J
to the "nigger." His text is "Higher Law?the '
only proper basis of human government," in which
the word "human" means "nigger;" and a free
translation into honest English world render it
"Higher Law?the only agology for stealing niggers."
Like the patriarch whose name he disgraces,
he may command the ?un to stum. still,
but he never lets the "poor nigger" rest a me- '
ment. Cheever is expected to retail Giddinga'
thuuder (there is uo lightning in it) to the Church
of the Puritans during the coming summer wherever
he cannot draw n congregation by preaching
tbc Gospel, which is pretty often. On such occasions
some of the congregation have been heard
to complain of a certain bad smell, wry much
like that recognized on board of the Niagara
while that vessel was holding the lady aud geutlemau
visitors from Africa. In fuct some had the
presumption to say that the smell arose from a
similar cause?and no one could gaiu-say it.

The river, in the twenty-four hoars ending at .

the fall having been checked, doubtless,' by the

Wg learn of several new breaks in the levee below,
some of vrbicb are doing considerable damage.
That at Manley's, below Nnpoleen, is reported to

to Mr. Manly, who was forced yesterday to flee
with his family for safety?and other plaaters in T1
the immediate vichnty. Prentiss, Friar's Point
