IN, Nropo NoprH AND SourH. Recent statistics
published in New York, show beyond . doubt the
moral and physical decay of the negro m that 4and
If so.called freedom. II anywhere in the North the
negro can get along or hold his own; It ought 20
be in the large commercial city OF New York. We
notice that the last census gave the number OF ne
proes in that city as IL ,000 The Alms-house re-
Mort shows that about 50O-one- third of the num-
ber-not including those who receive private charity
are dependent for existence on the public chari-
ties another third live by thievng, and only the
remaining third are classed as respectable; THESE
are white washers boot-blacks, walters, &C., and
even with them the living is precarlous. oniy
twenty are taxpayers in the whole city.
Now for the contrast. A correspondent OF one Oh
our Northern exchanges, writing from Charleston,
saws that the number of colored persons taxed IN
that city is 355, and of these three hundred and
four are owners of real estate while two hundred
and twenty-sx of them real state to the amount
of $1. 900 or mOre-some of them nearly $o0,oOo
worth: the entire amount owned by the two nun
dred and twenty-six above referred TO- announced 10
$717,495
The moral condition of the negro population IN
the two sections presents also great contrast we
have not the figures at hand to give the colored
membership of the Southern Methodist Church,
but we suppose that that communion has more than
any other branch of the Church We have some
figures however in relation to the numbers OF COL
ored members connected with some OF the Southern
Presbyteries.
In the Presbytery of Charleston, South Carolina,
1877 out of 2Ss9 members, or considerably over
one-half are colored. In the whole Synod OF South
Carolina, 5000 out of 10, 074 are colored members
The Presbyterics of Mississippi and Central MissiS
sippi, of Tuscaloosa and South Alabama, of Georgia
of Concord and Fayetteville, also show many chul ch-
es with large proportions of colored communicates
from one-third to oneseventh of the whole. In the
above mentioned bodies there are 9079 colored out
of SO, 66s COMMITMENTS Among the churches of
these Presbyter,es find twenty with an aggregate
colored membership of 5000, or an average of $50
to each. ~
Physically, the race also declines at the North.
In 1858 the Day Book says that while the deaths
amounted in 1858 to 400, the births were only 81.
1t is evident therefore which however needs no new
comments, that the only true condition of the ne
gro, the only condition which promotes his happi-
ness, is that of Southern slavery. But although
statistics are brought forward constantly to prove
this fanaticsm and hypocritical philanthropy close
their eyes and do their best to consign the negro
to poverty and suffering

Upon my return, Dr. Smith informed me that
whilst in Crockett, gentleman arrived having two
Leopard skins, full grown, the other less than
half that size. The animals from which these skins
were taken, he said he had killed in the west, per-
haps last fall between the Rio Frio and the Neuces
river. This statement appeared to be at variance
with the natural history Of the country. At all
events, had never heard before of the existence of
that animal upon our continent Dr. Smith had
seen the Leopard in the Menageries, and was there
fore fully competent to distinguish the existing diff
ference between that and the Catamount or spotted
cat as it is sometimes called Nor would have
ventured to call your attention to tn. subject were
it not for the fact that few days ago favored
with the perusal Of letter from Bishop Pierce in
relation to his travels across the continent publish

1st 1859, wherein he afirms upon the authority Of
the settlers the existence of species of Leopard on
the Neuces river. In certain parts of Texas the
Bear is said to be abundant, and also in the same
