Every indication from the old country almost
gives proof of new ana healthier feeling as re-
CARDS labor in all its various channels.
One serious drawback to the community, and
one Of the main causes Of dissipation and crime,
in every nation, arises from the fact, that I'D.
prentices, clerks, and the like, have no home,
and are treated by too many employers as me-
mails. The knowledge Of this fact is spreading
in England, and. with its spread, the wealth OF
the nation, as wei as the parties Directly inter-
ested, are making steady efforts TO change their
social condition, and remove the many sad dis
advantages under which "hircd help" have so
long labored.
The Crompton House, Liverpool, is one in.
stance, only, of the change that is going on. II

Ia are collected the richest and most various
fabrics in silk, cotton, and woollen, and which
employs over one hundred and fifty persons, OF

correspondent Of the New York Courier and
Enquirer answer: ga.
"The entire strength OF the establishment

An lnspersaHi suSGcssisa! New Aaevcs
East 1eancssee! Western Virginia.!

We copy the following short extract Of let
ter Just received from East Tennessee
.You made last year this suggestion to Mr..
., and the Rev. Mr.. lin
reply 10 the question-what shall, or eau, we do
in East Tennessee, for emancipation, viz that
eael county should hare the right, nhenerer fhs
majority ia that county should 80 determine, to
establish freedom therein. Since then we have
debated the subject, and corre,ponded about II,
and We have come 10 the conclusion that We
ought TO act upon il, and will do so before
long"
The condition of the upland or mountain re.
gions Of Virginia, North Carolina, and East
Tennessee, is pretty well understood. They are
chiefly settled by non-slaveholders. In the
early settlements Of these States, the planting
regions had the preponderance. But the up
iaads have now the numerical strength, and are
increasing, while the slave portions are dccrcss-
ing in power. Very soon. therefore, they will
break the thral with which unjust apportion.
ments have kept, and still keep, them down, ano
obtain ascendancy in the Legislative councils OF
these States.
Acting under this belief, we urged certain
iricnus OF ours IN East tennessee, western
North Carolina, and Western Virginia, TO asi-
tate and urge this view--that new Constitutions,
as they are made. should provide, that ony eoun-
ty may become free from slarery, mhenerer a
majority Of tie iega! ro'crs should 50 determine
AID that hereafter there should BE-, ereepf 70,
crime, no Involuntary .erritudt in suid eoanty
The business Of this principle cannot be dis
puted. II Eastern Virginia thrives under 1
system which ruins Western Virginia, why
should Western Virginia be compelled to adopt
h7 If Western North Carolina is crushed BY
slavery, while Eastern North Carolina flourishs,
under it, why should the latter force the formel
TO sustain it, If Western and Middle Tennes
see have majority Of Shareholders, why shoull
they thraH the non-slaveholders of Eastern
Tennessee with policy which ruins or injur,

FOR the encouragement of these friends, we
can say distinctly, that Western Virginia will
move on this subject within very short period
we think in less than three months. This part Of
the Old Commonwealth has felt 10 keenly her
wrongs, that it almost resolved upon seeking
division Of the State; many of her best citizens
declared that this must be. But the ground We
urged years ago, and which we presscd upon our
friends in the States named, in 1886, will be-
adopted, and Western Virginia will ask the Leg
i'lature that she be ailo,oed, by la1, 10 get rid Of
