DISTRESSING CAsUALTY.-Monday night, about IL
o'clock, Mrs. Shulz, wife of M. Shultz, cap manu.
facturer, Mansion House, was aroused from bed, after
retiring to rest by the restessness OF her children. She
arose, and while administering the wants of her lit
tie children, unfortunately set fire to her clothes,
by approaching too closely to the lamp usually used in
the chamber. Her nigh-gown being of light fabric,
the flames ncompaesed her whole person moment;
frantic with pain, she rushed cut OF her chamber into
the front store locked the door and dashed into the
street. Mr.. Shul,z Lad retired about half hour be-
fore the accident occurred and had fallen into pro-
found slumber, from which he only aroused Ly the
shreks OF his wife. Seeing brilliant light in the store
he at first concluded that it fire. but moments
observation revealed the form OF his poor wife wrap
ped in flames Selling sheet from the bed, he rushed
towards her, for the purpose of smoering the fire. but
before he reached the store she had unlocked the door
and gained the street. Major T. G. Rice and one or
two other gentlemen, being in the street when Mrs.
Shullz rushed out, promptly ran to her and did all
in their power to extngush the flames. Whilst they
were thus engaged Mr.. Shultz threw sheet over his
wife, and aided by the exertions of Major Rice finally
succeeded in extnguishing the flames. She borne
into the house, and medical aid instantly summoned
Upon examination it discovered that she had been
horribly burnt-so badly, indeed, as to leave little
hopes of her surviving through the night. She fingered
through the day yesterday, in the most intense agony
and was alive late last evening, but learn that the
attending physicians gave all hope of her recovery
early in the day.
We regret also TO learn that Mr.. ShuItz and Major
Rice had their hands badly burned in extingu ishing
the flames.

THE NEGRo.-tt has often occurred to us, that,
Notwithstanding the animated debates W hich the
negro race on this continent has given rise to, but
little is really known to his real NOR al condi-
ton or the causes which influence his conduct
Dr. Cartwright, of New Orleans has furnished
a lucid review of the physical evils peculiar to
the negro, but we hope that some eqally able
writer will yet give us satisfactory essay upon
the intellectual and moral qualities,of that singu-
lar people,
Our attention was recently attracted to this
subject, by conversation with an old negro-a
real patriarch among his sable brethren, and
looked up 10 by them as an authority in all dis
puted points. Strange as it may seem to our
readers who have not taken the pains to enquire
into the facts, the negroes of the United States,
notwithstanding their long familiarity with the
customs of civilized chrisendom, still retain ma
ny, fnot ALL the superstitions oftheir African an
cestors.
The old man with whom we spoke was as tho
roughly convinced of the influence of "charms,"
of "fettshes" and of the overriding control of
the "Obeah,' as was ever any native OF Ashantee.
Civilization in this respect appeared to have
made no impression upon him, and with the full
est opportunities of obtaining knowledge of
pure christianity, and of its simple truths, so far
as he embraced them, he seemed only to have
engralted them on, not substituted them for the
Desotled superstition OF his ldolatrous progenl-
tors.
Nor yet is this trait peculiar to the negro in
slavery and in ignorance 1t appears to be gen.
eral rule; and the ethiopian" is more able to
"change" his creed, than his "skin."
Upon this subject DR.. Cartwright observes that
on every large plantation may be found negroes
who aspire to be dignity of conjurors, and who
hold their fellow-servants in AFFECT dread He
adds: cit may be thought that the old superstition
about conjuraton has passed away, with the old
stock of native Africans; but it is too deeply rad
icated in the negro intellect to pass away: intelli-
gent negroes believe it, who are ashamed to &C.
knowledge it."
Now what, we could ask, is the reason that
among all other races the superstitions of bar
barsm yield to the light and warmth of civili-
cation, while they Withstand all influences in the
mind of the negro? We leave the question to
but it seems to that this bare
fact proclaims a radical difference in the races:
the one possessing the element OF progress; the
other incapable of it from his very nature.
