The emi? grants, on their arrival, receive grants of land from tho Liberum Govern nie tit, and they are provided beforo leaving with agricultural implerj?dut? and othei" ucoeti? sanes to enable them to make a favora? ble start in their new homes. Tue re in, it is stated, a strong desire among many negroes in tho South to return to tbe I land of their ancestors, aod the Coloni? zation Society aids all williug to go as far as their moans permit. It seems tbnt j thero am still living a considerable num? ber of blacks captured ou slavers by Amerioatt men-of-war who remain in this country. Those found ou tho Armisted, Wanderer, aud other ships, were nut nil sent back to Africa. An Alabama cler? gyman, writing to the A frican Monthly, for November, says: "I am familiar with a number of ua. live Africans, who met io the city uf Montgomery, a few days since, aud formed an organization, uuu provision of whioh wus that they should meet uuce u year iu Montgomery, and do all iu their power to return to their native laud, i'hey wore of the captives landed on our shores some fifteen years ago, from the slaver Wanderer.. I recently saw one of them, whose name is Peter, an holiest, fuitbful Cbristiun man. He married one of the captives of tho Wauderer; has a little daughter, eleven years old, well educate d and very intelligent, lie was almost wild when I toid him there w?s a possibility of bis rcturuiug to Africa, uud said that if I would procure them a passage back to their homes, they would make mo u king. It is reported there are over 10U of tliese people iu the Counties of Montgomery, Lo wild es, Dallas and Mobile."

The partisans of tho Rosecruus project nre making every imaginable effort to defeat their rivals. Hidder. influences, commuuicatioui to the journals, and telegrams from Philadelphia are all working actively ou that side, while Mr. Plumb is exhibiting a reserve which is iu remarkable contrast to the agitation opposed to him. Congress has nut yet come to any decisiou, tho membors be? ing divided in opinion between tho two parties; but is is thought that both the executive aud tho public inclined to wurde Mr. Plumb, aud everything leads to tho supposition that tho result will yet bo delayed for Borne time. '*Huw ever desirous wo may be," says tbo Union, "to boo Mexico enter, us soon as possible, upon tho career ol prosperity which is promised by tho construction of railroads, we cannot disguise the grav? ity of the question. Too future of .Mex? ico depends upon it, and we tind-rataim tho necessity under which the executive and Congress uro placed to weigh care? fully every project which may bo sub milled to them. Everything dopeudx upon tbe first slop which is taken in the path which bus opened before them, and if that step should bu n false oue, who oan foretell tho disasters which might result to tho country?" A Washington tclugiarnof Friday s.iyM There seems to bu a determined specu? lative iuterest which is bout ou forcing tho Scoretary of the Treasury to increase tho volume of currency. Yesterday up peals wore made to him as well as to the President to buy two and a half millions iuntead of ouu million of bonds, but when absolute refusal was made und n became ovidoot that nothing would be dono now to help Wall streut except io ouso of actual panic, the entire stock market declined. Tho Secretary bus boon again appealed to to day, to come forward with somo meuuuro of relief, by pu.rohasing more bonds or putting out additional currency in some other way, but has continued a duuf ear to these entreaties, believing that they ure made iu a speculative interest only, and not from any real approheusiou of u puuic. Tho Government is paying now for some of the unfortunate arrests which, of courso, in tbe early years of tho luto war, military necessity compelled it to make.
