Tn coming up from Washington to Warrcn,on
Springs, in Virginia, some fifty miles, the ira
weller will be struck with the roughness of the
road, the apparent poverty of the SOIL and the
parsencss Of the population, there being but two
or three very small villages along the route, through

Tor two hundred years; and he will be as much
amused with the sickness Of the little negroes. az
