privee him of the power of selling or mortgaging Iii

erroneous tax whet: once in the Collector's aaodi

the cxik. We have gathered the subjoined nee mm
of thi. ? alanii'y from the two ?urv ;v.-r* of th.
the officer* of the Borth Carolina and from other
reliable *ourc?-e. The brig arrived on Sundiy ev | ? ?
after a tl irteen-daya' passage, from Attakopus, La.,
with au^ur and molaaee* tu C. I'. Levorek. and came
to im ar.ciii.r m the F.a**. River, between Fulton

tain uf a steam-tug tried to iadat ? Capt. Suuth to go into
dock, and warned h: in ut' the danger of lying out in
the stream, when it waa so full of ice. Capt. Smith
did tot te.ke the advice. The bp.' laid at aach, r
Without miahap, until ?.' o'c!.>ck Monday morning
when the fiooal tub- brought up large quantities of drift
ice, which cut her cable, and she drifted up with the
tide nearly abreast of the Navy Yard, t'apt. Smth
waacn deck when the cable pnn.d. ani promptly
ordered the mate to heave over tin- port anchor. Thai
crew could Dot get the aut hor over before ihe had
drifted nearly to the Wa.'hibout. She brought up
here, and n< thing farther occurred until about 5 or ti
o'clock in tl i morning, when suddenly tie- BOB in the
fen castle were alarmed by the rush of water in
through the bows, and making their way on d-vk
they found that sh? was rapidly sinking by the bend.
The t aptain I who had remained on deck through the
night) In i red on bis un-n to clear the stem boat,
which was hanging by the davits. Ouo of the crew
seised an nx and that other took his knife, and en
deavon d to sen r tie- tan k?ngs. MeeawhQa Captain
Smith rim into th> cabin tad aroused his wit'.- and
children, who were aalaef in the;.- berths, and bidding
her follow him with the little girl, he caught up bis
m.n and ran to the st< ru !x>at. She followed imm. di
ately, and be put her and tlie children into the boat,
and then got in himself, with the mate, co?>k and two
stamen. The ta> kle by which th?- boa' hung was
frozen fast, and all of their efforts to cat lcr loose
availed nothing. She went down he id fore?
most, with.n ten minutes of tke UaM she was cut
throagh,carrying down the boataadafl it* raasates

point. The others were not neea ugaiu. The sinking
condition of the brig and tin eriee of Uta people on
board nttracted attention on the Baited States rt.It?

with a bout's crew cut clear a life-bout, which
was lying frozen up ia the ice alongside, and drugging

The addition of those who are "slarehir
merely, to the category of slaveowners, must, I
thiuk, swell their number much more than it if
dimiui.-hed bj the excloaion of " those who are ia
"tcreatid conjointly with others in slare proa>
"eity." Such iustances of conjoint interest wist
OCCBf most frctjueiitly iu the family relation*,
already taken iuto the account, wheu we multi?
plied the number of slaveholders returned by fire
at d seven tenths. A comparison of the returaa
from Maryland, the District of Columbia, and Vir?
ginia, where s!a\i hiring i* much practised, with
Alabama, Mississippi and I.oui-iana, where it la
leaa practise*!, show a the following results
Maryhuid, Virginia, and the District of Colum?
bia, with M8,M3 elaves, return TJ.."-<I elave
ew ncrj. Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana,
with -:C,.*>;il slaves, return 7 3, Ml slave
owners. The relative excess of slaveowners re?
turned in Virginia, Maryland and the District of
Columbia, must be attributed, in part, to the in?
clusion of a relatively, larger number of "?l\re
birers." I'pun the whole, it mav safoly bet ci?n
eladed that at least seven tenths of the white's ia
the Slave State*, are not slaveowners, either in
their para riatLt, or by family relation. The uum
ber of white males in the Slave State?, n*.<'d
twenty-one vear* aud upward, iu 1H50, woe
\,iW,W2.
Considering that the number of '.147,525, re?
turned as slaveowners, is subject to some deduc?
tions, and considering that of the ilareownora
in n \ are female* aud minors, it is probable that not
exceeding one fifth of the white male adults of the
Slave States own ilaree.
The uon-slaveholdiug whites of the South, being
not less thuii seven tenths of the w hole number of
whites, would seem to be entitled to some in?
quiry into their actual condition; and especially,
as they have uo real political weight or considera?
tion in the country, aud little opportunity to speak
tor themselves. I have been for twenty years a
reader of Southern newspapers, and a reader and
hearer of Congressional debates; but in all that
time. I do not recollect ever to have seen or heard
these non slaveholdiug w hite* referred to by South?
ern gentlemen, as constituting any part of what they
call "tht South." W hen the rights of the South,
or its wrongs, or its policy, or its interest*, or its
institutions are spokcu of, reference ii always in?
tended to the rights, wrongs, policy, interests and
institutions of the three huudred and forty-seven
thouraml Slaveholdt rs. Nobody gets iuto Con?
gress from the South but by their direction; no?
body speaks at Washington for any Southern inter?
nal except theirs. Yet there is, at the South,
quite another interest than theirs; embracing from
two to three times as many white people; and, as
we shall pu-erutly see, eutitled to the deepest sym?
pathy and commiseration, in view of the material,
intellectual and moral privations to which it baa
been subjected, the degradation to which it ha* al
raedj been n duced, and the still more fearful
degradation with which it is threatened by the In?
evitable ope-ration of existing cause* and iuflueuooe.

This picture is distressing and discouraging; dis?
tressing, iu that it exhibits three fourths of the
whites of the South substantially destitute of prop?
erty , driven upon soils so aterile that only i scanty
