DISEASES AND PEcULIARITIEs OF THE
Negro Race.

This interesting subject has never before,
we believe, been treated in an independent
aud philosophical manner, by any Of our
physiological and medical writers although
it has direct aud practical bearing upon
over three millions of people, and $4,000
100000 of property! DIR. Cartwright, of
New-Oreans. deserves distinguished praise
for the able Investigations he has conduct
ed in this recondite department, and we
believe they will be received among the
planters throughout the South as of inap-
preciable value. They are embodied in a
paper, read by him before the late Medical
Convention of Louisiana. which we shall
present to our readers in two or three parts,
according to subjects. 1t is impossible to
occupy the same space with material a
tithe part so valuable:
Although the African race constitutes
nearly moiety Of our southern population
1t has not been made the subject Il mucl
scientific investigation, and is almost en-
trely nnnoticed in medical books and
schools. 1t is only very lately that it has
In large masses, dwelt in jnxtapositior
with science and mental progress. On the
Niger in the wids of Africa, it has existed
Tor thousands of years, excluded from the
observation Of the scientific world. 1t i
only since the revival of learning, that tn
people of that race have been introduced
on this continent. They are located il
those parts of it, not prolific in books ant
medical authors No medical school wa
ever established near them until few
years ago |; hence, their diseases and ply
slcal peculiarities are almost unknown t
the learned. The little knowledge tina
Southern physicians have acquired con
cerning them, has not been derived fror
books or medical lectures, but from fact
learned from their own observation in tn
hed OF experience, or picked up here an
there from others.
Before going into the peculiaritles Q
tier diseases, it is necessary to glance Q
the anatomical and physiological difference
between the negro and the white man
otherwise their diseases cannot be under
stood. Ii is commonly taken for granted
that the color of the skin constitutes th
nam and essestiaI difference between th
black and the white race; bat there al
other differences more deep, durable an
indeiible, in their anatomy and physiology
'nan that Of mere color. In the albino IN

He stood upon the deck by night alone,
And heard tn uproarious waste of ocean moan
Beneath the gusty darkness round him thrown.
The soughng winds amid his hair took way,
And damp his beard and brows with briny spray
Yet stead fastly he watched the West away
Until at length he said 1t is a light;
1t must be, and on shore; so low, so bright,
So steady God be praised Tho land in sight
And soon throughout the crew from man to
man
In startling shouts the rapturous tidings ran;
And wild for joy were they that light TO scan.
No words can paint their triumph; yet ween
Had night not veiled his visage, they had seen
A bitter smile disturb his even mien.
The self same tongues that bnt few hours ago
Had counselled straight return, and sought to
show
The follyof his scheme, their certain woe;.
Vain upstarts, who had jeered, aye menaced
him,
And faint hearts with desponding looks and
dim
All mixed their rash breath with his souls
uO0P yHhn' E..
kxulting boastfully, that they had shared
Success, which ne'er had been had he no,
dared
Despise them, and hope on when they des
paired. ..... - ,..... .......
Within themselves the Great must ever seek
Both impulse and reward all else is weak
To what their own calm soul and conscience
speak
Aud thou-would'st thou Columbus-lke aspire
To walk new worlds of thought, and high
and higher
Exalt thy fallen soul on wings of fire
On God and self do thou rely Alright!
And through the day His clouds shall cheer thy
sight,
And His fire-pillar guide thy steps by night.
