A Horses Opinion Of a Plank Road
The North Carolinian tells the following
anecdote of an old farmer of that region,
who had tried the plank road:-sHe was
at first much opposed to the plank road,
and thought it would be waste of money
to build it. But he came to Fayetteville
with his wagon and produce, and drove
on it some miles. When he got back TO
Chatham. our merchant friend asked HIM
if he had seen the plank road! Yes, he
said, he had seen IT, Well, did you
drive on it?' yes We'll, don't you
think YOU can carry four times as much
weight on il, with your four horse team,
as on common road!' .0h, yes. says
he .it is first-rate; and it is fact that
when the. wagon got to the end of the
blanks and struck the heavy dirt road.

DEAR SIR: Observing by the journal Of congressional
proceedings that the subsct OF mprisonng our iee black
Ia southern seaporis has been broughi forward
and the fact called ia question, justice prompts Us TO add
our testimony, happy 1t may have any weight in
hunng the statements you have made.
For years has been custom, when sending ships
10 Charleston and New Orleans, TO avoid taking black
cooks knowing that Immediately upon the arrival OF tie
ship at either OF those ports they would be arrested and
imprisoned until the shp is ready to sail, and the ship
owners subjected the expense OF their board and i'm
prisonment, and the additional expense and inconve-
nience OF employing temporary cook TO take their place
while in port
We have now before us the disbursement account Of
one OF our ships which went 10 New Oreins last May
from port in Europe with black cook on board, and
We find charged 2sth May $780, paid at Parish prison,
for black cook, So" Aso a charge in account,
paid II Gays service for substitute at 81 per day,

Happy IL any information furnish may be
ful to you allow Us 10 add our personal regards
Respectfully, yours, &c.

DEAR SIR MIR ]. |. Bowdich requests me TO write
ou my impressions relative 10 the operation OF the south
eTn Sale laws upon our coored do this with
pleasure though cannot haer myself that shall and
any thing 10 your knowledge OF the subject.
The oppression OF those laws is now so well under
stood in Boston by shpowners, that may say that the
almost universal practice with inem is not to employ or
ship any coored seamen board oil vessels bound to
Charleston, Savannah or New Orleans ports, where II IS
the custom take them out OF the shp TO prison, and
hold the and ship liable for board and other ex-
penses.
Thus the shipowner is debared from the employment
OF valuable class OF men, among whom are found the
best cooks and stewards and the colored seaman hnds
every OF employment closed 10 him. except that
part OF the merchant service which directly or indirectly
has no contact with the cotton ports.
Instances might be produced in abundance OF the en-
iorceuent oil these laws in taking men from Their ships
and placing them in prison Oay this morning. very
respectable sbpmaser told that he had on two occa-
sions taken men from the calaboose in New Orleans
when on the point Of sailing from there, whose only
crime was the color Of their skin.

turn, that my two coored had been taken of by
the public authorities and cast into prison. Whether
they carried away p handouts do not know, but
that is The way in which have often seen colored

10 the release Of these men. informed (and so |
believe The law To be) that master who brings free
c0lored seamen into port ia South Carolina must take
them away again in his vessel when il is ready for sea-
they remaining IN prison n The time; and that they
cannot be released except 20 board the ship whei,
she is ready to sail had no ship, and these men were
no longer Of my crew could not, therefore, procure
tEeir release. and was obliged TO leave them in prison
paid each of tIiem twenty. five dollars, which was
more than enough TO pay their Jail lees, and spoke
10 te masters ot northern vessels lying there to take
them away with them when they should sail, some
o whom promised me that they would attend 10 them.
further depose and say that since the laws have pro.
hbiied the taking OF free colored into southern
ports have never taken any there except in this in
stance, which was involuntary.
have frequently free coored seamen ,aken from
vessels and put into PRISON while lying in southern ports.
