THE WEALTH OF A COUNTRY DEPENDS
UPON ITS FARMERS AND MECHANICS
We take the following remarks from the
Texas Register. Ii they are not repIele
with sound and wholesome truth, all OF our
experience and observation have resulted
in making false estimates upon The real
stamina of society-"nalure's uobemen"
our laboring class; whether they he mer-
chants, farmers or mechanics" lf we are
right in the position we have taken, that
wealth consists in natural productions
changed and wrought upon by the labor
of man, il follows that the country whI'h
possesses the most of the elements or Ma
telials 10 work upon, such as good soil
abundance ofwaler power-forests OF tim
ber-Quarries Of different stoues, mines, sand
also, OF different kinds of minerals, &c.
&C., must have the most natural wealth.
Ii then only requires the hand of industry
and skill to put these materials into shape
and 10 put them together to form real sub
stanlial wealth. This is The duty OF the
farmer and The mechanic. They are the
second creators of wealth. They take
the raw material as il came from the hands
of The Almighty, and change il by their la
Dor into the thousands Of different forms
which render it useful to man, and sub
servienl to the wants ofhunan life. The
more industrious and skiliul this class is,
the more wealth will be accumulated in
the country. Do farmers aud mechanics
consider these things rightly! Are they
not 100 apt To think themselves as mere
plodders and servants rather than second
to the Great First Cause in productive in.
crease of wealth and, indeed, is there not
false standard of respectabiIity 100 much
in use in society, and are not productive
classes apt 10 measure themselves by it
This standard appears 10 DC lDLENEss AND
FINE COAT aud consequently the more
idle man is, and The finer the dress, the
more of gentleman. Not so-Resperl-
liability consists in an improved mind, and
skiful and industrious hands. Moral
qualifications being equal, he should have
the most homer, who by the combinqllon oil
the efforts of his mind and physical pow
ers, has contributed must largely TO the in
crease of those things which constitute
wealth.
Such an one has done more for the
ameIioration of society, than thousand
nou-productive DANDIEs, who loIl in the
shade aud wash in Cologne, and society
should beslow upon such acorrespondng

From tho American Farmer
ON THE PRESERVATION OF
THE HEALTH OF NEGROES.

1t is we'll known fact to physicians Of
the Southern States. that negroes, though
less liable TO aulumnal diseases than the
whites, yet suffer mach more severely from
winter epidemics than they do" The
negroes. for instance, will escape the bill

white inhabitants are falling viclimsI but,
when winter takes place, the blacks are
swept off, while their masters families.aEe

There would be, inthe extraordinary ma
ture ofthe fact, sufficient incentive toihe
investis ation of the cause or causes ofllTs
difference; but there are motives ofa sill
more urgent nature, that demand an at
tempt at discovering the cause, and pre-
venting the effects. The blacks constitute,
either absolutely or instrumentally, the
wealth Of our Southern States. liza plan

A writer in the Montgomery Adverti-

mina'ion of paper money is little less than
one hundred dollars. In England, the
lowest is twenty-five dollars! In many
other countries, the small change is COM

bills as low as twenty five cents. Is there

This is admitted as facti chemistry ane
physiology. We know that liquids cool
soonest in dark vessels, and retain their
heat longest in bright ones. We also
know that animals in polar regions, which
are of dark color in the summer, change
to white in the winter; nature, q" doubt
intending by the change OF color as much
as by the thickening of their coat, to Sc
cure them against the severity of The cold.
The negro on the other hand, was designed
for the sultry regions of the torrId Zone
His surface is therefore adapted to the
ready escapementof internal heat. Hence,
when lranspauted to colder latitudes, ne
aud his posterity are less capable of resist
ing external cold, because they are less
capable orretaining their internal heat. Ii
is also fact we'll known 10 Psychologists,
that The body Of a negro is ceter,s Partous'
several degrees cooler than that of a white
person. We know too, that blacks uni
formly show themselves fonder of the fire
than whites.
That they are then really more chilly,
we cannot doubt, after taking into view all
the circumstances just noIiced. 1t there
fore, necessarily follows. that they are
more liable to diseases brought on by the
cold of winter, than white persons. Ihey
are likewise more subject to disease on ac.
count of their great exposure to wet and
inclelnenI weather.
In the enumeration of the causes OF the
greater liability of negroes TO winter epIde
mics, we perceive an immediate answer
10 the question, how can the health OF
slaves lie best preserved! We see that 1t
they had white skin, it would prove Sc
curity to them: hut as we cannot ""ash
the Ethiop white" We must use such other
means as may prevent the free escape
meut of their heat. They ought IN the
first place, TO wear ,DooilenS next their skin,
iusre d of linen and cotton. Long woollen
shirrs would retain their heat, equailze the
excitement, aud secure them agaln-t lhe
effects ofwet work and rainy weather.
These shirts should he white, for reasons
too obvious TO need repeliton, They
should also he frequently washed. as cloth
ing luses very mucIlo its capacity for re-
tanning heat, when filled with persP'ratIon'
Sc. The truth OF this we experience
every time we change our soiled clothes
for clean ones; for an Increased aud per-
lnauenl glow of heat is the consequence ot
putting on clean clothes. When vet, ne
sroes should dry by good fire.. They
should also be allowed to sleep by fre,
if convenient; the ont laborers especially.
By attending TO this regimen, we feel no
hesitation in saying, thapa planter will
greatly secure the health OF his slaves and
We shall conclude with renarklng, that 1t
now lies with him to determine. as soon as
he may see proper, whether the trouble
and expense of this preventive Is rather To
be- ctIoSen than the risk of losing much oy
the sickness or death of hi negroes.

Travellers Iales.-.-We have heard
many wonderful accounts of the Wes',and
Texas. But the following, which we re-
ceived from a gentleman, who had lately
visited Texas, exceeds all. He informed
US, that great deal Of land in that coun-
try, yielded 1000 Ib. of cotton to the acre
that gourds grew there, which would hold
ten gallons of waller; that the deer were
so numerous, that they came up TO tho
dwellings of the settlers on purpose, are
suppose. to be shot!
Now, we are not prepared to dlsprove
this account, but we are confident that the
statements Of many travellers in The South
West, are about as accurate as the history
Of Lilliput, Lapula, Brobdinag, &C., by
that renowned traveller. Captain CULVER.
