A I . i Progress of the African Slave Trade— Capture of the Bark Cora, of New York, with Seven Hundred Africans on Board— with Seven Hundred Africans on Board— More than 2,300 Recaptured Negroes Sent to Monrovia in Six Weeks. A correspondent of the Boston Advertiser writes onboard the C. S. ship Constellation, from St. Faul de Loango on the 30th of Sep tember: We arrived here this afternoon, after a cruise of twenty-two days' duration off the const, during which we nave visited all the Blnve ports of impor'ance from this place as far to the northward as Loango. Nothing very remarkable occurred until the evening of the S!5th, being about eighty miles from the coast and to the southward of the Congo River, when a sail was discovered about five miles to windward, steering north-west. We made all sail and after three anda-half hottrs rhnse eucceded in overhauling her, firing four tliirty-two-ponnd shot before she hove to. She proved to be tho baik Cora, of Now York, one day out from tho coast, and hav ing on board seven hundred and five slaves. Sailing-master Eastman, with an armed crew of fifteen men, was immediately Bent on bonrd and took charge of her as a prize. Her officers and crew, amounting to twenty-eight persons, were transferred to this ship, and with the exception of her first, second and third mates, who were sent to the United states in ner as prisoners, were Drougnt to tins port. Durinp; the chnse she made every exertion to escape, showing no light and throwing overboard her boats, hatches, snare spars. and, in fact, clearing her spar deck of every thing moveable to lighten tho vessel. She had on board a Spanish and an American crew. An individual giving tho name of Lorctlo Rinz (supposed to be fictitious) was found on boaid, find stated that he was master of the vessel. His real name is sup cosed to be Latham, by whom the vessel was cleared at New York. Six of the Span iBh crew were sent in her to take chnrge of tne Slaves until sue arrives at Monrovia, wncre tncy witn tne slaves win oe landed and the latter delivered to the United States agent for liberated Africans, after which the vessol 18 to proceed to nionolK.

She is a fine bark, newly coppered, of about 40U tuns, ana about eignt years in service, ana was formerly owned dv Governor Mor gan, of New York. She is also a very fast sailor, and it is doubtful whether she would have been captured had any other vessel of tne squadron been in pursuit ot ner. To increase the vigilance of the men stationed at the "look-outs," Captain Nicholas offered a reward ot 50 to be paid to tne person first sichting a vessel with slaves on board; and after the capture of the Cora paid the above amount to one of the seamen. Since her capture the reward has been raised to $120, the ward-room officers eivine $50 and the steerage $20. Hereafter Blavers had bet- Rive the Constellation a wide berth.

It appears that promineTit public official connected with the Street Department, died in June, 1857. He left a young and somewhat pretty widow. The widow, though left destitute, a few months alter received .iu,oou upon a policy of life-insurance made by her late husband. Five months after the death of her husband, the lady cave birth to a posthumous child. Matters proceeded in the ordinary routine lite tilt tne summer ot iao. ueing some what addicted to gaiety, the fair widow. during the summer Bcason took up her abode at Long-Branch. In her trips to and fro, the widow became an object of attention to a gallant captain, who commanded a steamboat that plied be tween this city and Long Branch. The attentions were not displeasiner, and an in timacy ensued between the parties. About this time the fair widow was warned beware of the gallant captain, as he had liege wife end two children in one of the suburbs ot Trov. wuom ne bad abandoned. But "Love" reasons without reason, and the fair widow went heedlessly along upon tier new career, ine intimacy increased. and ended in the captain taking up his abode with the widow, at her own establishment. The widow defied all slander, and set malice and gossip at defiance. Unfortunately, how ever, tne naugnty doings ot tne wiaow nave received confirmation. Much to the surprise of her friends who yet remained true to her, the widow of three years' duration yester day gave birth to female twins. Of course the matter is onen for exnlanation. and explanation is likely to be soon established as above set lortn. Tut Cuban Peasantry's Mod or Living).

Hen. John Bell, of Tennessee, has recently written a long letter in reply to an invita tion to address ttn public meeting held in Vicksburg, Miss., on the 29th ult., and, after expressing great regret at the present condi tion of affairs, And an earnest hope of their enrly settlement, concludes thus: Yirwincr the subiect in every litrht in which it can be presented, I am constrained to say that by no principle of public law, by no code of morals by no law of earth or heaven, would Mississippi or any other State be justified, under existing circumstances, in witndrawinp: irom tun union, t conn dentiy believe that the happiest consequences wonld result from a conference of all the Southern States. I as confidently believe that a maioritv of the people of the North are this day prepared to ajrrce to any fair and reasonable plan of adjustment which sucn a conference ot tne soutiiern btatos would propose. I purposely abstain from suggesting what, in my opinion, should be the basis of such a plan of adjustment. Alter wnat l nave written on tne preced ing pages of this letter, it is scarcely nec essary to say that I am resolved to adhere to the Union. I will not say that in no possible contingency would I consent to a separation of the States. But I wonld exhaust every constitutional means for the redress of our grievances, before I would think of dissolv ing the Union. I am not willing that one State should be withdrawn from the Union that one star should be stricken from the blight cluster which now emblazons the na tional flag. i nave lone lorcseen tne prooaDie occur rence of a crisis like the present, and shrunk from the possible issue of it; and I could never contemplate tne destruction ot tne Union without sensations not unlike those which I imagine would overwhelm me on beholding the last going down of the sun- never to rise again lorevcr. A Laroe Baby Story A Rahh'U-Infant, A married woman, in York, Penn., Bays an exchange, gave birth to a child possessing, generally, the forms and whims of a rabbit. The features bore a close resemblance there unto, and at the hind part of the head there was a snort, stumpy tail, precisely in imita tion of the small pet animal. The child squeaked the notes of the rabbit. It was so formed that it could pnrtake of no nourish' ment, and during tne nve weeKs ot its career on earth, it wag necessary to pour gently a little milk down its throat.

Captain Ingraham, who has f;one to the Mcditerrrnean, is understood to iave left his, depending on the same con tingency. Mr. Donglas is preparing to address tho Senate on the present emergency, and will take tne distinct ground tliat secession in volves war and all its calamities, and that that fact must be confronted by the men who are now precipitating tne uotton states into revolution, lie tuinlis it wiser to lace be whole issue, and let the people see the consequences, than to blink at it until the real crisis is upon us.

[Herald's Correspondence.] Secretary Cobb has completed his letter to the people of Georgia, and it will be made public in a day or two. He utters the most ultra sentiments, and scouts tho idea that any compromise or adjustment can be made with the North. His views are diametrically opposed to those of the President, so much so indeed, that the moment they are pub lished he will be compelled to retire from the Cabinet. It is rumored here to-day, that Governor nicks, of Maryland, has decided to call to gether tne legislature ot tnat owe, to con sider tne present national crisis. [To the Associated Press.] Wasthnoton. December 10. While the most conservative Congressmen freely ex press the belief that there is no prospect whatever of preventing other States from followinp- the secession example of South Carolina, others are hopeful that something may yet be done in tho way ot compromise, ancl which may at least preserve the border slavebolding States in the Union with the non-slaveholding States. Among the plans suggested by gentlemen belonging to the latter class ofCongressmen, is the establishment of a line by an amend ment to the Constitution, similar to the Missouri Compronei'e. Other amendments have been submitted to the consideration of members from all sections of the country. As they have received some degree of favor, it may be mentioned that they provide, first, that the Territory shall not be acquired otherwise than by treaty; second, the whole inhabitants' of any Territory numbering 20,000, shall have the right to elect all officers necessary for its government, under the rules prescribed by an act of Congress, and the Legislature thereof may determine whether to recognize slavery or not during its territorial existence; third, whenever any Territory preparatory to its assuming State sovereignty, having white inhabitants equal to the number required for a Representative in Congress, and having submitted its Constitution to a vote of the people, applies for admission, it shall be admitted into the Union, whatever may be its provisions in regard to slavery, upon an equal footing with the original States; fourth, Congress ebnll not interfere with slavery where exists under the sanction of law, nor shall prohibit the transportation of slaves from one slave State to another. [Herald's Correspondence.] The Committee of States will meet on Tuesday, cerhans Monday. South Carolina and Florida may not be represented. The Chairman of the Committee, Governor Cor win, of Ohio, is disposed to advance concil iatory measures. The feeling of conciliating is crowing more and more prevalent. Gov. Seward is not disposed to yield, but he may be overwhelmed by the power of the incom ing Administration. There are many matters of moment in abeyance which the country at larce may regard with satisfaction. There is more union sentiment to-night among prominent classes than has recently been ex hibited. Every one now hopes for the best, and better things will occur within a fort night than the most ultra of either Bide an ticipate. There is a rumor here this evening that Jeff. Davis has received a dispatch from Mr. Lincoln, the President elect, stating that he (Mr. Lincoln) was preparing a letter for publication, defining bis position on the question now distracting tho sections of the country, wuicu win, lb us aiuu, giro cuum satisfaction to the South. [New York Times Correspondence.] six The only result of the Southern Senatorial Caucus, yesterday, was the Assurance that eieht States are certain to secede. Most the Southern Senators, including Vice-President Breckinridge, were present, and the prospects of the country were freely dis cussed. A large majority considered it too late to save the present Confederacy, but ex pressed the beliet that a new Union would be sneedily formed. Senator ilempbill was absent on acconnt of sickness, i but Senator Wiirfali declared that Texas would be an independent power within sixty days.

Mr. Corwin bag prepared his plan and pro poses to push it. It is for a generalization of all the States to settle the existing difficul ties.

There h nothing of unusual interest transpiring here. All the delegates elected to the Convention appear to be in favor of prompt secession. South American News. New York, December 9. By the bark Ia Plalta, Opt. Crowell, arrived to-day. We have dates from Buenos Ayres to October 4. The La Platta brings home, as passengers, Commander Page and several other officers of the late expedition of the surrey and ex ploration of the waters of the La Platta, Although the detention of the Commander of the expedition, on duty connected with the squadron, against Paraguay, limited, in some measure, the extent to which the ex ploration would otherwise have been car ried, we ore assured that its labors, when mapped and presented to the public, will exhibit an interesting and important addi tion to geographical science, and prove, as did the previous exploration of those watcr3, an additional incentive to the still further extension of commerce into the heart of South America. The most important political intelligence brought by the La Platta is that of the con summation of the labors of the Convention of Santa Fe, whereby the Province of Buenos Ayres has become bona fide one of the States of the Argentine Confederation. This final act was officially done on the morning of October 21, by tlie solemn oath ot the Gov ernor, General Mitre, before the assembled city in the Plaza Victoria, after which the ceremony was concluded by the performance of the le Deum in the Cathedral. At night there was an exhibition of fire-works, and the amusements of the day ended by the reunion at the opera of all the fashion and beauty of the city, the Governor anH Minis ters appearing in the Government box. Abont ten days previous to the sailing of the La Platta. news reached Buenos Avres that the Governor of Santiago Del Etro, lamnp- advantage ot nis ouiciai position, at tempted to influence or control the popular elections, which caused great dissatisfaction, and after an ineffectual remonstrance from Don Mannuel Saiborda and his friends, they resorted to force, and, being largely in the majority, they caused the Governor to flee the country. Quiet was soon restored by the President of the Senate. The wool crop had not come into market at the time the Xa Platta sailed, as tho clip ping takes place in November, but a full one and good prices are anticipated Hides were still held at such high prices that there was none shipping. The United States brig Dolphin, Com mander Steedman, sailed from Buenos Ayres October 21, via Monteviedo and Rio Jauerio for home. Commander Page, officers find men have returned home in good health, having com pleted their labors and difficult work of sur veying the principal branches of the Rio de La Platte to the distance of over 2,000 miles above Buenos Ayres, leading to many very important towns located in a rich and fertile country, which will in future prove a great benefit to the public at large. Already we can see the effect of it in many different ways, one of which is that a few years ego there was hardly known to be a steamer tn those waters. Now we see them threading their way up the extensive rivers, thousands of miles, where a short time ago no one sup posed them navigable From New York. it it of New York, December 10.

Mr. Botts's letter on the subiect of Secession is an extraordinary production. He declares be will nave no part in tne wickedness or Secession, and thinks that Virginia will not secede. He Bays the position of South Carolina is bold, plain, daring, flat-footed rebellion against, and treason to, the rest of the States. He thinks the only question involved in the Carolina embroglio it whether it it worth while to keep her iu the Union. He believes that the Fedeial laws should be enforced in Sonth Carolina, notwithstand ing an ordinance of Secession, and it bitter on the Secession party.
