The Amazons of Africa.
by A. A. FooTE, L. 8. n.

"In Dahomey, a considerable portion Of
the national troops consist Of armed and dis
ciplined females. They are known as be-
ing royal women, strictly and watchfully
kept from any communication with men,and
seem to have been trained through discipline
and the force Of cooperation, to the accom-
plishment Of enterprises from which the tu-
multuous warriors Of native army would
shrink. A late English author (Duncan)
says, 4 have seen them, all well armed and
generally fine, strong and healthy women.
doubtless capable Of enduring great fatigue.
They seem 10 use the long Danish musket
with as much ease MS one Of orr grena1iers
does his frclock, but not, Of course, with
the same quickness, as they are not trained
TO any particular exercise; but on receiving
the word, make an attack like pack Of
ho':nds, with great swiftness. or course.
they would be useless against disciplined
troops if at all approaching 10 the same num-
bers. Still, their appearance j, more mil
itary than the generality Of the men, and if
undertaking campaign. / should prefer the
female to the male soldiers of this coun-
try.

occupied in erecting three immense prickly
piles OF green brush. These three cIumps
of piles. OF a sort Of strong brier or thorn,
armad with the most dangerous prckies,
were placed in line, occupying about four
hundred yards, leaving only narrow pas
sage between them, sufficiently merely to
distinguish each clump appointed to each
regiment. The piles were about seventy
feet wide and eight feet high. Upon exam
inng them, | could not pursuade myself that
any human being without boots or shoes,
would, under 0ny circumstances, attempt to
pass over so dangerous collection Of the
most efficiently armed plants l had ever

and pair of trousers falling just below the

loins."
The drums and trumpets soon announced
the approach Of three or four thousand Am
azons. The Apudomey soldiers (lcmale }
made their appearance at about two hundred
yards from or in front of the first pile e,where
they halted with shouldered arms. In few
seconds the word for attack wa. given. and
a rush was made toward the pile beyond
conception, and in less than one minute the
whole body had passed over this immense
pile, and taken the supposed town. Each
OF the other piles were passed over with the
same rapidity, at intervals of twenty min
u!es. When person is killed in battle
the skin is taken from the head and kept as
a trophy of valor. counted seven hundred

conduct"

THE RrcnfsT FAMILY IN ANEaIcA.-
A correspondent of the Richmond Wing
says of the Hairston family of Virginia, that
they are rich with negroes as follows:
Sam. Hairston owns 100; Mrs. r. II
Hairston owns 1000; Marshall Hairstor
owns 700; Robert Hairston owns $50; Har-
den Hairston owns 600, and George Hairs.
ton owns 200, after giving offto his children
some 700. Here is an aggregate of nearly
5000 negroes in the possession of one fsmi
ly. Their landed property is said to b.
valued in proportion. Their government o.
slaves is said to be at once humane and sue
cessful. The annual increase in the Who'll,
family is thought be three or four hundred
The united wealth Of the Hairstons canno
fall short Of $l5, 100000.
