dent has a cabinet of six members, appointed as in the United States. Slavery is forbidden in the republic, military service is obligatory on all citizens between the ages of sixteen and fifty, and the right of suffrage can only be exercised by those owning real estate. None but citizens can hold real estate, and only negroes can be citizens. The state of Liberia is divided into four counties, and these again into townships. There are a number of small towns, but the only large place is Monrovia, the capital, a city of about 13,000 inhabitants. The republic of Liberia owes its origin to the American Colonization Society, which was organized about 1811, and in 1817 sent a committee to the coast of Africa to select a site for a colony of freed negroes. The Sherbro Islands were first chosen, but the first colony sent out, in 1820, not being satisfied there, was removed to Cape Mesurado in 1822. Here a limited territory was purchased from the natives, which was subsequently enlarged

the rebels had only to move their cavalry round my right by way of Urbana and Monrovia; suspecting such was his plan, I used the utmost expedition to pass the comman for which I waited so anxiously the last two hours of the engagement reaching Monrovia in good time to have joined me, halted there — a singular proceeding, for which no explanation has as yet been furnished me. Monrovia is but eight miles from the battle-ground. The commanding officer at that place must, therefore, have heard taptured the battle-flag of the Seventeenth Virginia. The three regiments in Monrovia joined me at New Market, and afterward served a good purpose in covering the m road. I immediately called back my skirmishers over a hill, and fell back to Monrovia, where I found trains loaded with wounded and stragglers moving off.

f joy. A scouting party of one hundred and fifty lancers had just passed towards Gettysburg, and I regret exceedingly that my march did not admit of the delay necessary to catch them. Taking the road towards Frederick we intercepted dispatches from Colonel Rush (lancers) to the commander of the scout, which satisfied me that our whereabouts was still a problem to the enemy. Before reaching Frederick, I crossed the Monocacy; continued the march through the night, via Liberty, New Market, Monrovia, on the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, where we cut the telegraph wires and obstructed the railroad. We reached, at daylight, Hyattstown, on McClellan's line of wagon communication with Washington, but we found only a few wagons to capture, and pushed on to Barnsville, which we found just vacated by a company of the enemy's cavalry. We had here corroborated what we had heard before—that Stoneman had between four and five thousand troops about Poolesville, and guarding the river fords. I st

escape from this well-laid trap. Once out of Chambersburg, he did not stop except for just such time as was necessary to feed his men and horses; passing through the village of Emmettsburg amidst the loud huzzahs of a population intensely secessionist, he took the Frederick road by descending the right bank of the Monocacy. Night overtook him when he was within a few kilometres of Frederick; then, bearing suddenly to the left, he crossed the water-course, and continuing his march toward Monrovia, he eluded the Federals, who were looking out for him at Frederick. In the mean time, Pleasanton had hastened to Mechanicsville, but only to learn that the enemy had passed eight kilometres east of this village an hour before. Burnside had also sent a detachment of troops to Frederick; but these troops had halted in that town, instead of pushing eastward as far as the valley of the Monocacy, where they would undoubtedly have met the Confederates, who were following the same road on their

ary, telling that the expedition from Boston has suffered more loss than that from Norfolk, and expressed gratitude for the recovery of Rev. Mr. Holton, whose sickness had been alarming, but that he preached last Sunday and hoped to tomorrow, adding what gives a clue to his work: I trust we shall be able to get along well. Bro. Holton will be in the public employ till his year is out in conducting the school in this place. [Monrovia.] But in the issue of November 19 was a letter, dated Monrovia, August 9, 1826, following this editorial notice: Death of Rev. Mr. Holton. It was the prayer of this estimable man, who we had the pleasure of knowing, that he might be the instrument of directing the unenlightened Africans to the knowledge of the Lord Jesus. No doubt his short labors had some salutary effect. But alas! he had only just commenced them, when he was suddenly called to his reward. and quotes— We are called to mourn an afflictive bereavement in the loss of Rev.

Two Slavers Captured. --Letters from Liberia to the 15th of December have been received. The schooner Quall, belonging to the Republic, had arrived at Monrovia from Gallinas, bringing with her two slave schooners as prizes to the Liberian Republic. The new mail steamer Seth Grosvenor, with the mails, left Monrovia on the 15th of December for Cape Palmas, where she would meet the British steamer bound home. The Seth Grosvenor was doing a good business. She was under contract to take thovia from Gallinas, bringing with her two slave schooners as prizes to the Liberian Republic. The new mail steamer Seth Grosvenor, with the mails, left Monrovia on the 15th of December for Cape Palmas, where she would meet the British steamer bound home. The Seth Grosvenor was doing a good business. She was under contract to take the Methodist Conference to Since, and bring them back, and then was to take down the Baptist delegation to the Conference at Bassa or Since, and bring them back.

The Commerce of Liberia. --The customhouse returns from Monrovia for the year 1859 give the following results: Exports $190,369.22; imports $143,858; excess of exports over imports $46,511.22. The main articles of exports were palm oil, cam wood, ivory, sugar, molasses, palm kernels, and coffee.--There are five other ports of entry, the returns from which are not before us. The production of the above named staples of export is rapidly increasing.

ty-four hours, and were fresh from Punta de Lonha; the chief slave depot on the station, where it is said there are no less than seventeen "factories," or exchanges, in which the negroes for sale are concentrated. The captors of the prize were not a little astonished to find on board some of the crew of the Cora, who were put on shore at an isolated part of the Coast. The San Jacinto kept alongside the Bonita towing her all night; had the slave galleys set up, and next morning sent her to Monrovia to land the 713 slaves, who are to be taken charge of by the United States Government agent. The slaves, notwithstanding their number, were put on board the Bonita in the space of 15 minutes. Having disposed of the prize the San Jacinto stood to the south, and met the Constellation, the officers of each ship conveying to one another the intelligence that "a haul had been made." The parties on board the slaver made a desperate attempt to break the San Jacinto's propeller, by throwing over-b

rt distance from the Storm King when we hailed her.--Did not see the person who answered. Have no hesitation in believing Calleros is a Spaniard. Have no doubt that Mexicans can speak Spanish. By Defence.--I think the San Jacinto was heading to the south, or south-southeast, steering for Loanda. The Storm King was going west. There was but little wind; think it was blowing from the south. By the Government.--There were 619 negroes on board. By Defence.--We carried them to Monrovia, except two, who died on the passage. R. S. McCook, Midshipman, sworn.--I was on board the San Jacinto when the Storm King was captured. We sighted the brig about 2 o'clock P. M. and came within hail about 4. She was hailed by one of our officers, and the answer was returned by Calleros, No entiendo. We were not over forty yards from the vessel. He was standing by himself on the top of the cabin — I am not mistaken as to the man. He stood on the most elevated part of the vessel.
