SLAVES IN GEORGIA. report of the
Comptroller General of Georgia shows an
increase of 1920 slaves in that state du-
ring the year just past, The total number
of slaves in 1858 was 431, 1,124, and in 1852
443,364. The average value of slaves in
1858 was $526.39, and in 1859, S6l2.63--
an increase in average value Of SS6.24.
The aggregate value of slaves in 1858 was
1927 ,46s,927, and in 1859, ,$271 ,62O, los.
: Thus it will be seen chat, while the increase
I in the number Of slaves is 11,24O, the in
: creased value is $44,151,4 ,47S. This large
increase can only be accounted for by pre-
suming that unusual drafts have been
r made upon the negro population of Virgin
4 ia, and other border slave holding States.
The natural increase could not have reached
] these figures. 1t will be interesting to ex-
anime the statistics of the border States, to
e ascertain whether the decrease in the num-
Der Of their slaves has been proportionate
to the increase in the more Southern States
. We can then learn if the gradual emancipa-
ton process is merely theoretical, or is ac-
tually in full progress.--Jour. of Com.
