New Onreavs, March 8, 1861. Anwidy of the People Regarding Lincoln's Policy—the War to be Carried into Africa im the Event of a Rupture, and President Davis to Head the Southern Forces in Person, de. de, de Everybody here experiences great anxiety as to what sourse Mr. Lincoln will pureue—whether his policy will be ome of peace or war. For him to talk of holding the forts and other places in the Confederate States and retaking those now in our possession, without making war upon us, ‘w an insult to the understanding of every inte!!igent man: for [ presume no one supposes we are geing to stand idly by with our arms folded while he is retaking them or collecting the revenue. If we are to have war J hope it will be carried on in the enemy’s terri‘ory, not mours. That is the plan of Jefferson Davis, and it seems te me the ouly one calculated to bring Mr. Lincoln aad the Northern people to their senses. Davis is a well edu. cated military man, and those who know him and are ca- pable of judging say he has the qualiries of a great sol- dier. He will douotiess head the army in the event of war. We are to have no officer higher than a brigadier general, of whom there are four— Lowsiana = furcishiag them, Beauregard and Bragg—the “little more grape” tain Brogg.

To talk of our going back is simply absurd. You must not believe anything you read in the Northern papers about the condition of affairs at the South. If a stranger, ignorant of our affairs, wag to come amongst us he would have no idea that we are im sue mist of a revolution quite as important as thas of 1776 or the English revolution of 1640.

THE AFRICAN SLAVE TRADE. The clause in the permanent consticution, prohibiting the African slave trade, it is said, was aJopted in the eee caer by the vote of four States to two.

The Memphis Avalanche says that at a sale of negroes belonging to Mrs. T.

The foregoing is the result of comparing number of votes for the leading candidates on euch side. There were scattering votes given for both Uniou and secesswa candidates—these reduce the aggregate vote, but do not materially vary the result.

At present the numbers from over the water are compara- tively few, but they are augmented by Americans, and they expect that between the 16th of May and the 15th of June ensuing, they will be suff- ciently increased to commence their teilsome journey towards the setting sun, across the arid ‘waste that intervenes between the place of their present location and that to which their every aspiration points. The immigrants who have embraced the strange faith of the Mormons, and who are ready to show that faith by their works, by obeying the requirements of their re- ligon that they shall settle in Utah, are expected in great numbers from fngland, Scotland, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, France, Germany, and even South Africs.

Smith, Administrator of Jos. Wari, vs. the New York Central Railroad Company.—This was an ap- peal from a verdiet in favor of the administrator to the amount of $5,000, which was rendered before Judge Emott and a jury in Albany. It appeared on the trial that Ward lived in Ohio and was a dealer in hogs. On the ‘24th of March, 1856, he shipped with the defendants at Burflalo « lot of hogs to be taken to Albany, under a spe- cial contract, ata reduced rate. This special contract, among other things, ‘ided that the persons riding free to take charge of the stock, do so at their own risk of personal injury from whatever cause. Mr. Ward accom- panied his stock, having a ‘‘drover’s pags.” This pass provided that the holder «takes all the responsibility as to the injury of himself or stock.” At Rochester the car in wh Yard and others hed riddon from Baflalo was changed for an emigrant car, which the plaintiffs claimed was detective in | construction, and in that they proceeded to Albany. At Oriskany this car went off the track. Ward jumped off the car, and in so doing reseived an injury from the effects of which he died an hour afterwards. It was claimed by the defendants that by the terms of the con- tact ucder which Ward travelled they were not liable for any wfories sustained by ‘ae judge, on the trial, charged that the company were guilty of negligence. Ou appeal to the general term of the Third ¢istrict the charge was upheld and a aew trial refused, from which ‘ecisisn defendants now appealed to this court. Decision reserved AN OLD WILL CASE.
