A SOUTHERN ScENE.-It is 80 seldom that the
real trath respecting the social condition of
the Southern slave appears in the Northern
republican press, that we take pleasure in
clipping the following paragraph from
letter to the Newark Advertiser, republi-
can paper;
| remained at Savannah eight days in
sightseeing, and while there attended the
races, few miles from the city. There
were to be found on the grounds hundreds of
well-dressed negroes, with purse in hand,
ready to bet you various sums on their ia,
yorite nags. Certainly, more happy, care
less set of beings are seldom found, and l
could not help contrasting them with the
almost naked and starving blacks we some
times meet at home.
Last evening, in company with number
of ladies and gentlemen from the hotel, l at
tended negro ball. The females were
dressed in the extreme of fashion, with gold
watches, bracelets and other trinkets gleam-
ing among the folds of their dress--in fact,
all that 20 to make up the dashing females
and the fashionable airs they assumed were
amusing to behold.

LIFE AND MANUFACTURES.-Miss Martineau
in an article in Once Week on the steel
manufactures Of Sheffield, says the position
of the city is singularly bad in the scale of
comparative sickness undergone by the
working classes, as ascertained by the
managers of friendly societies; and yet there
is no note taken Of the fact that the lives
of which this sickness is computed are little
more than halfthe ordinary length. In COM
pairing the sick weeks in the life of rural
laborer and Sheffield artisan it must be
noted not only that the one has 25 weeks of
illness to 95 of the other, but that the rural
laborer's term may extend to 60 years, while
the Sheffield mans ends at 40, or ever 30
Even without this, and supposing that all
have an equal right to talk of their life "from
tweny to sixty years Of age," what pre-
ponderance of sickness there is in Sheffield.
In town life generally, in England, the pro-
portion of six weeks in those years, is
under 55. In city life it is under 95 weeks ;
whereas in Sheffield it is just upon 95. No
other t,wn and no city on, the list comes
near it, even Leeds being under 63, and
Rochdale under 81, and the i'll favored and
unpopular Stockport, the worst after
Sheffield, under So.
More will be known about all these mat
ters after the approaching census; but it is
plain enough that there is an enormous
sacrifice of life in the commonest processes of
manufacture, which little more knowledge
may obviate entirely, and which better
morality would at this day materially check.

REPUBLICAN SPEEcH-On Wednesday even-

Electors for this State, entertained large audi

current political topics of the day. The evening
was inclement, and we had not the good fortune
to hear him, but are informed that his speech was
very able; which might so have been judged by
residents at quarter of a mile distant, from the
frequent shouts and applause of his hearers.
