Whatever may be the individual opins
of the Southern uieuibersi of this party as
the probability of Kansas remaining as a

y will never consent to her rejection. Tuere

is in our Territories to set up a government of !

following statement about the stock market:
The stock market opened this morning more
yant ttiid more active tliaii wc have observed
several years. The excitement at the Stork
Iiuuge tlii.s morning exceeded anything of tlio
i within our recollection. The entire commtir
appears to he completely absorbed in the
uilntivc excitement of the day. At the first

er hefore realized at one session of the hoard,
thini^ approaching il has ever heeu seen in
II street. Our experience extends further
1; than uny active member of the present
rd, und we can say, with safety, that the spec-?,
ive excitement of the moment is far ahead of
previous period within our recollection. In
rly every slock to-day the transactions sum
thousands of shares. The ureater the advance
greuter the desire to purchuso, and tho greathe

negroes arc disembarked on tin; Atlantic coast ! c
and brought overland to the .Mississippi eottoii c
fields, lint the Mississippi sea-roast's peculiar fa- |
eilities for landing and secreting cargoes, and ?J
the eonvenietu.es of I'earl River as a channel for ii
disirihiiiiou, arc not overlooked. I e
The profits of the Mississippi slave trade are 1 i
mormons. We have been so fortunate us to i
procure, from undoubted authority, some inter j '
eslins; details. They relate to the oji-r: ions of i t
the Mississippi slave trade, and are autiieutieated
hv operators. It need not he said in the lir.it t
plae<- that the hark engaged in the traliic to the '
South must he a last sailer, for this is iniiispeu- <
salde to the wcurity of the olficer.s and crew, ?i
the health of the cargo, and the rapidity of the ?
pecuniary returns. For a trip from the Mississippi
coast 1o Africa and hack, there must he a
captain, supereurtro, three mates, three cooks,
steward, and between twenty and thirty fustclass
seamen. The vessels must he well supplied | |
with extra running and standing riiriring, and | t
also supernumerary spars, ropes, topma-t.s and
suits of sails. All assortliietlt of the Hags of all
nations will he partii ularly desiralilc, hut the r
most, useful is now the French Hag, because
Iliilish cruisers will not verify the colors and | x
take the sain*- liberties as with the United States j |
ting. The fare of the ship's cfew must he the v
very liest, and their good will must l.e carefully s
conciliated,?because, (luring the voyage, a nut- \
tiny is disastrous; and after the voyage, a IrcaHi- v
erous or vindictive information is, to say 'lie least, '
troiihlesomc and exp-nsive. To procure the <;ooil , |
will of the llleii, much depends on the mates, j |(
over whom the captain ought to keep a strict j j
watch. For the subsistence of the negroes there | |
must he a plentiful supply of hard bread, corn '
meal, rice, and an abundance of vinegar, red- j
pepper, pure water anil drugs. In dislribntuit; i _
diet, the greatest regularity is to he observed, j
ami me very tirst symptoms of disease promptly j
treated. As to the capacity of the superior ; j
officer, it may be safely said lliat a slaver re- h
quires ill it moic courage, talent, honesty, fidelity, ! ||
skill ami discretion than any oilier ship in any . t
other trade. Indeed, the captain ami superour- j
go must, ln-tween tliem. net. as navigator and t
naval ollieer, merchant ami pliysieian, diplomat.- , ,.
ist and magistrate, not to iiieiition tlie functions i
of llic chaplain. I
As to the expenses and profits of the voyage, (the
latest adviees were from the captain of a |
hark which sailed from one of the <!eoii;ia ports. ^
lie has <piite recently returned, and reports that
on account of the vigilance of cruisers, negroes
had accumulated on tho coast, and in a manner v
{ lu'.ted the market, and that in consequence of
this, llie price had fallen to under thirty dollars
a head. The payment., however, must In: in |
gold or silver, as the head men will nui, as for- ?,
uierly, barter for merchandise. Ii
We may estimate a c.ar?o to number seven ,1
liuhdred negroes, although many more than that
are olleu carried; hilt whatever the luiinber, (
none purchased should be over twenty-live years (|
of age. Seven hundred, at au average cost. 01 !
thirty dollars a piece, will amount to S*2|,iiiii>, 1 |,
and their price in this country, or Cuba, will s|
range from $lfit} to !$I,2(K?. Hut. if sohl lor c

The Effects of Moonlit/it.? Professor Plazzi 1
Smyth, the Astronomer Koyul for Scotland, in si
his interesting account of u recent scientific expc- v
dition made by him to the Peak of Tenerifle, has "
set at. rest llio ijiuctlio piixnta of the heat of the t<
moonlight. He says that his thermomrti icsil '
instruments were sensibly affected by the moon's c
rays eyen at the loweBt of two stations occupied c
l>y him at different elevations. In tropical cli- b
mates, meat which ia ex|?>scd to the moonlight ri
rapidly becomes putrid; and in the West Indies, the
negroes, who will lie sweltering and uncovered
beneath the full glare of"i tropical sun, carefully
muffle their heads and facoe, when ex|>ose<l j"'
to thn moonbeams, which they believe will cause
swelling and distortion of the font urea, andsoine- ^
times even bliifthioss.

with ease to a market. The writer adds that the ,
