How they I've in Liberia.

The little seed OF republican liberty which years
/ ago was transplanted from the shores Of the Uni
ted States TO those of the African continent has
under the benign influences with which it has been
surrounded grown into vigorous young republic,
and bids fair TO become, at some future q r, pow
erfal and influential nation The resu of the en-
ter1rse OF planting have proved all that was ant c
ipated. Liberia is now the cherished home ard ref
uge Of the fugitive and Outcast colored race-the
only free and civilized land in all the world where
colored men can and do fill every Office in the gift
of the people. wh1re they are able to odeveope every
high and noble faculty Of ther existence.
Liberia is not yet much of an agricultural coun-
try. Most of the settlers have farmed otlv upon
a small scale, for the that very few modern
labor-saving machines or improvements have been
introduced there. The earth. however, is cuitiva-
ted much more cheaply and easily than in America
A tract of land is given, under certain rcsiric
tons, to each enigrant and after being cleared Of
timber, by cutting and burning. rice and cassada
are hoed into the ground. The soil is seldom pow-
ed, and there are no wor&ing oxen, and but few
horses in the State. When the rice is ripe il is
cot with knife. Beside rice and eassada, the EN-
grants also ra Sc and sell corn potatoes and other
vegetables. Sugar cane and coffee, too flourish re-
markably well.
There are but few drones in Liberia. All who
really wish for employment can find field for their
abors either as mechanics, farmers, merchants, or
day work-men. Upon tie farms both American
and native Africans are employed. The difference
in their respective powers Of usefulness may be
coujectured from the fact that in April last the va
ges of Americans were seyenty-fve cents day, and
of the uatives twelve and half cents There are,
of course, no slaves in Liberia Slavery is pFohb-
tied by the constitution aud laws Of the republic
The natives, nevertheless frequently bind their chill
dren for certain period to the emigrants, in com
pensation for money loaned, assistance rendered.
but this is contrary to the laws The number Of ma
tive Africans in the republic at the presen; time, is
about two hundred thousand. They I've in the old
patrarchal style, moving about from place to place.
and until subd ed by the Liberiaus the din rent
tribes were constantly at war. Macy Of them are
now partly civilized, and all are rapid coming un-
der the gentle Influences Of civilization.
The climate of Liberia is very healthy after the
process Of acclimating is over. But Eany Of the
new corners die under the acciimatirg fever II IS
said by residents OF the pac, that The ieyer is more
fatal to individuals from the Southern part ot the
United States than it Is to NortherHers.- Boston
