ABOLITION IN NEW ORLEANS.

A New Orleans correspondent of a Natchez
paper discusses the subject of slavery, and sees
that q abolitionism is making fearful progress
in that city. He says that New Orleans is the
hot-bed of Anti-Slavery," the origin of which
"may be traced to that system of amalgama-
ton which has been practised ever since slave
nv was known in Louisiana" Another evil,
which he says should be erradicated, is the
"schools established for the education of free
negroes, but where the slaves are also permit
ted to receive the rudiments of an education"
The negroes have also erected large brick
church, "where the services are performed by
negro minister, in direct violation Of the laws
of the State" and what he probably regards
as worse than oil, the negroes both free and
slaves, have their benevolent associations, their
widows charitable society, burying society, and
various other societies, where such as complain,
whether justly or not, of unnatural oppression
from hard task master, are entitled to such
assistance as the state of the funds and the ne
ccssities of the applicant would seem to war
rantn
By this showing negroes IRE not destitute Of
natural affection, and improvident or careless
of each others interests

Pacific RAILROAD SURvEYs-Col. Benton
has transmitted to the Inteiigencer q letter
from Mr.. Harris Heap companion Of Superin-
tendent Beale in his central route expedition
to California. Col. B. Gays: "People will be
astonished to read that from the frontier of
Missouri to the Valley Of San Luis at the head
of the Del Norte there is not an obstruction to
q railroad any way comparable to what is
found between Baltimore and Washington, and
that the whole route is through a beautiful
country, rich in SOIL grass, water, and game
In fact, finding game every day itself tells the
character Of the country for every Western
man knows game is not found in desert, nor
even in poor country" 1t announces the
fact, that through the entire line which the
party had explored, embracing, it is said the
most difficult portion of the line, the construo-
tion of the road is not only practicable at an
easy grade, but the country il we'll watered and
fertile and such as to invite settlers and cult
vators throughout This will be pleasing news
to those who favor the central route.

A Coop LITTLE GIRL.- A very little
girl who often read the Bible, gave proof
that she understood her obligations to obey
its preccpts. One day she came to her
mother, much pleased, to show some fruit
which had been given her. The mother said
the friend was very kind, and had giyen her
a great many. Yes said the child, very,
indeed and she gave more than that, and
| have given some away The mother, in
CURED 10 whom she had given them she
answered, : ] gave them to a girl who pushes
me off the path, and makes faces at me.
On being asked why she gave them to her
she replied, Because | thought it would
make her know that / wish to be kind tc
her, and she will not, perhaps, be rude an(
unkind to me again. How admirably die
she then obey the command to overcome evi
with good.

and widow of Col. Lee. She had by a for

AGRICULTURAL.
What Culture Does.

1t is a well known fact, that one piece of
land yields vastly more than another piece
of equally natural fe rtility and it is equally
we'll known, that one man abounds more in
knowledge and usefulness, than another to
whom nature has been alike bonntiful. It
is culture it is the industry and perseverance
of man, exerted in one case, and not in the
other, that produces the marked contrast in
both. The cultiyator is sure to be rewarded,
in his harvest, for the care and labor he bes-
tows upon his soil and the reward is no
less certain to him who devotes his leisure
hours to the culture Of his mind.
The soil administers to our animal wants.
knowledge not only greatly assists in sup
plying these wants, but is the primary source
Of intellectual wealth, which dollars alone can
not give, and when united with good habits
tends to refine, elevate, and distinguish men
above their fellows. Talent is not hereditary
You will see, on looking around, hat most
of the distinguished men of our country, have
