Thtjy'havo been gathered from Flori?

tion Society, who p?y the traveling ex?
penses of the emigrants. These people
return to Afriea of their owu ohoice and
ou their own application, satisfied tbuy
will do better nod bo more happy there
than in the United States. 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?

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

We learn from tho Revue de Quin
zainc du Trail d'Union, dated Mexico,
Ootober 30, that tbo Congress is still oc?
cupied with tbe question of ruilroads,
the two sein mes of Plumb und Rone
craus being still uudor consideration.
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,
