SLAVE FACTORY LABOR.

We are disposed to think, with the Phila
delphia North American, that the whole
question Of elevating slave labor to make it
capable for factory employment, turns upon
the point, whether it is compatible with the
interests of slave owners to give their slaves
so much education as TO produce this result
One of the most interesting questions connected
with the establishment, at the SOUTH of mills for The
manufacture of cotton, is the capacity of the negro
slaves for this OF labor 1t is OF the highest i'm
portance to the south, that this capacity should be
favornby demonstrated but the general belief is 10
the contrary and in most instances the negroes have
filled position subordinate 10 that OF regular fac
tory operative while white laborers have been
sought and obtained at the north. The causes OF
incapaciy aedged against negroes are their extreme

teau
The long talked-of aud much needed connection
of the Fox and Wisconsin Rivers is al last in fair
way of being accomplished An appropriation Of
land sufficient TO ensure its completion was made
some time ago, and the necessary surveys having
been made, we learn from the Madison wisconsin
Express, that contract for the construction of The
canal has been et and that il Is the lenton of the
contractor TO finish his job during the coming fall
The canal is about one mile and half In length, and
is to be fortyfour feet wide AT the bottom, sixty ee
wide al top water line, and four feet deep ordinary
stages of water in the connected streams.
The Fox and Wisconsin rivers as most readers
know take their rise in the high table land dividing
the waters that flow on side into the Mississippi
and on the other into the lake and the river ST. Law
renee. At the place where the canal is TO be made
the two rivers approach very near together and In
high water canoes and even boats Of light draupht
have gone from one 10 the other without any portage.
From that point these rivers, with slight improve
ments, and the removals Of few instructions, can be
navignted 10 their mouths. The construction Of the
canal win, therefore, afford an uninterrupted water
way from Lake Michigan, at the head of Green Bay
TO the Mississippi. The value of such commercial
channel TO the fine country through which IL passess
and TO the country on the Upper Mississippi, gener-
ally can scarcely be estimated. II win be the route
through which large portion Of Wisconsin, and
territory Of Minnesota will receive their eastern sup
plies, and afford Thorn In turn an outlet for their
marketable products--in both ways adding very con
sderably TO the commerce Of the hikes.

When man is waxing frail,
And his hand is thin and weak,
And his lips are parehed and pale,
And wan and white his cheek
Oh, then doth woman prove
Her constancy and love
She stitch by his chair,
And holds his feeble hand,
She watcheth ever there,
His wants 10 understand;
His yet unspoken will
She hasteneth to fulfil.
She leads him, when the noon
Is bright, DER dale or hill,
And all things, save the tune
OF the honey bees, are still,
Into the garden bowers,
To sit midst herbs and flowers
And when he goes not there,
To feast on breath and bloom
She brings the posy rare,
Into his darkened room; $751;
And meath his weary head,
The pillow smooth doth spread s
Until tho hour when death
His lamp of life doth dim,

She never leavelh him;
Still near him night and day
She meets his eye Away.

Deep in her bosom's core.
