those iliussrious individuals, whose names
are As familiar as household words, but who

the spades, ral;es aud other antiquatel i'm
iplameuts to be collected in heap and burnt
in the presence Of the whole plantation. The

prearrarged intercession of the overseer
finally induced him to relent, and allow them
a further probation of a year and half At

the poor negroes knew no bound. A new
spirit of industry seized them, and in year
or two. with The erection OF new buildings,
and the Introduction Of new methods OF ag-
ri1ui,ure. the yoang master could boast OF
