it is opposed to reason to suppose that sur
rounded by the eevating influences of as.
sociations in the families of whites, restrain.
ed from many of the vices to which the ne
gro character is liable, enjoying the bles'
sings of the Gospel extensively, it is absurd
to suppose and say that negroes would be
kept in their original ignorance and barbar'
ism. At every point facts stare US in the
face. Look at the comparative intelligence
of all our house servants, contrast the youn'
ger negroes upon any plantation with the
older native Africans who are here and see
their intellectual superiority, and above all
consider the more than four hundred thous.
and church members of slaves. and say, do
these things prove that they are kept in O.
riginal degradation. No! The gradual
elevation of the enslaved race is too marked
to need proof to thoseAwho have eyes tosee.
The negroes of the South are, as class,
more nearly civilized than the African any
where else found And that the elevation
and progress have not been more rapid, is
due to the Abolition agitation. The rigid
and in some cases uujustly severe, laws en-
acted by States and communities, against
the privileges cf negroes, are occasioned by
the impertinent interference of the enemies
of slavery These-who profess to be
friends of the sla7es-have proved them
selves the worst enemies the negro has, and
they: by Abolition principle, have done
more to retard the enlightenment and anne
Iteration of slaves than all other causes COM
bined
But we have said enough in reference te
objections to slavery-none of them disprove
the direc, arguments for it; but they al
rest either upon some abuse of the instltu
ton, OF are false in form and fact

upon which our institution can be gindica
ted, these communications are closed-un

clcs upon the duties of masters. This vii

"reminiscences of the Cotton King.
When I was six or seven years old, there
was rule adopted amongst the young peo.
pie of the neighborhood, that each one
should pick his or her shoe full of cotton
before going to bed, so that the females
should have enough to spin without wasting
their time in picking. This was observed
only during the fall and winter, when the
nights were long. The planters had to be
careful to make cotton enough to clothe
their families. Some few planted and made
little fax for shirting, but the cotton in
Virginia and the Carolinas was the main
standby for clothing.
In the winter of 1856, went to Georgia.
My father rented land in Burk County, on
the waters of the Ogeechee River, forty
miles from Augusta. We planted a patch,
Gas we had been doingin No:::L Carolina j
we called it always the cotton PATCH
There was no other object in view but to
make cotton sufficient for the family use,
but, to our great surprise, when the cotton
was picked out of the patch, We had con-
siderably more cotton than we had any use
for and it was not known at that time that
there was any demand for cotton any where
This was in 1888 or 49, However, before
any disposition had been made of our super
abundant crop of cotton, we got news that
there was firm in Augusta that bought
cotton, and would give four cents per pound
for it in the seed. Our cotton found its
way to Augusta, shortly after, and it strikes
nv mind that about this time was the first
bale of cotton sent to Europe that ever was
put up for expectation from America. Some
time after the sale Of our cotton, was at
Augusta, and saw parcel of hands at work
in a cotton picking factory. They were GIN
ming cotton with little wooden rollers. The
saw gin had never been introduced at that
time, nor do l believe that it was used for
ginning cotton till 1893 or '99, at which time
l was living in York District, South Caro-
lima, m;nding mill, and a man who had a
saw gin for cleaning cotton, came and got
liberty to drive his saw gin by the water
power of the mill, and he packed his cotton
in round bales, by driving it down with a
crow bar I think his gin was not the best
quality, nor was his mode Of packing ap-
proved of, for the staple Of the cotton was
injured. This, however, was about the be-.
ginning of the cotton rage in Carolina. In
1901 or 1902, think the State Of South

TO-
| am standing where we stood
Years ago-years ago;
In this edge of besky wood,
Where the little silver flood.
Singeth low.
There are lilies floating near
To the place where we did stand;
And they wave so white and fair
And they seem to beckon there,
Like thy hand.
And the roses blushing red,
Like their cheeks and finger tips
Now playful breeze hath shed
Many leaflets on my head,
And they touch my cheeks and lips.
Here are viole,s meek and blue
That have drank from summer skies
Thro' their drops of pearly dew
Such sweet, familiar hue
Such soft and tender blue
Like thine eyes!
o. the very birds that sing
In this fair enchanted grove.
Touch within my heart spring.
And dreamy memory bring
Of days Of early love.
But fearful demons spell
O thou dearly loved and lost.
On my lips and Tyre fell
When breathed that long farewell,
And never more may tell
Of,be nome that love most! G. l..

The Policy and Prospects of the South
ern Confederation.

Tne EOlCy ana ErOSp6CCS Oh Inc SOuCQ-
ern Confederation.
The Southern Confederation is march
ing steadily on with its organization, and
the policy which it is inauguratins promi-
ses to add stability to its existence and
dignity to its future. There are many
features about this new Government which
are calculated to invest it with advantages
superior to those which the Northern Con.
federacy enjoys. In the first place it is
maintained by able statesmen that we at
the North can boast of more of the dema.
gogue class in the composition of our Gov
ernment than of that higher order of pa.
triots which shine SO brilliantly in the
ranks of the early founders Of the republic.
Jefferson Davis, the President of the
Southern Confederacy, is a soldier as well
as q statesman. He is firm, bold, quick
and daring. Mr.. Stephens, too, is gifted
with fine intellect, and the wisdom which
dictated the selection of conservative minds
for the Cabinet to the exclusion of the more
ultra politicians of the South, forms a stri.
king contrast with the party animus that
inspired the elevation of certain extremists
to seats in the Cabinet Council of the ad.
ministration at Washington. The South.
ern Confederacy now comprises seven
States, with a total population of over five
millions, and should subsequent events
drive the border States into coalition with
those already seceded-a consummation
which the latter are endeavoring to bring
about-the Confederacy will be composed
of fifteen sovereign States, with popula
tion of 2,433, ,4O9-or nearly two-third.
of the population Of the Northern Contede
racy of nineteen States. The population
of the seven States now united under one

The Lincoln Cabinet.


We give below brief sketches of those
members of the Cabinet of Lincoln, with
whose history many Of our readears may not
be familiar:
SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY.
Hon. Salmon P. Chase is native of N.
Hampshire, born in 1903, and at an early
age emigrated to Ohio, but leaving there
after years residence, graduated at Dart
mouth College, N. H., and studied law in
Washington city under the celebrated VIM.
Writ. He sustained himself during the
years of his professional studies by impart-
ing instruction to select school for boys
He was admitted to the bar at Washington
in 1929, and in the following year returned
to Cincinnati and entered upon the practice
of his profession, in which he soon rose to
emineuce. He was subsequently elected
member of the United States Senate, and
upon the expiration of his Senatorial term
he was put in nomination for Governor Of
Ohio and elected. He was again put IN
nomination for Governor; and was again
elected to that position. Recently he was
a second time elected to the United States

called spinters until they were married.
Nowadays they spin street yarn.

Northern and Southern Nations.

The Washington correspondent of the
Charleston Mercury says taat Cassius NJ.
Clay, of Kentucky, now in Washington,
is one of those men who believe what the
bows in the Northern schools and colleges
are taught, namely, that the destiny of
Southern nations is to be conquered and
overrun by Northern races, just as the Ger
mans overran the Romans. He said as
much in conversation with Elwood Fisher
"Why," replied Fisher, in a quiet way, 81
have read history very differently. The civil
ized world has been conquered seven times
five times by Southern men, and twice by
Northern. The Greeks led on by Alexander,
we're Southerners and shareholders so were
the Romans, under Caesar; so the Arabs,
under Mahomet; the Spaniards, under
Philip; and the French, though not slave
holders, are Southerners. need not tell
you what they did under the great Napole-
on, nor what position they hold at this day,
under his nephew. Have you forgotten how
the Moors penetrated to Vienna, and but
for the valor of John Sobieski, would have
mastered all Europe And do you forget
that Roman legions, siding with the Ger
mans, under Alario, conquered Rome p
If history teaches anything, it teaches that
a united South has always de6ed the world
in arms, and never knew defeat till disser-
sions, took place among themselves. Final
ly, to bring the matter home, see what
Southern men-Italians commanded by
Garibaldi, and fighting for their liberty
are doing to the Austrians, Northern men,
When you, gentlemen, talk of coercing the
South, you had better lay to heart Lessons
taught by historians who are not Yankees"
Clay was completely nonplussed-used up.

NEW YORK CORRESPONDENCE.
New YORK CITY, March 7, 1861.


Dear Enquirer After silence of some
two months, | again make my bow, hoping
that if neither amuse nor instruct, | vii
be able to tell you something corncernine
affairs in Gotham. Among other things
the weather must have place in every let
ter; for who ever wrote to friend, broth
er, a sister, or any 'other mans sister, with
out saying something about that changeable
thing-the weather. During the last o.
February and the three first days March, We
had the most delightful weather that we ev
er experienced in this latitude-neither tot
cold nor too bot-not too damp nor TOT
dry-but real good weather-weather tha
seemed to suit every body. For a time il
appeared that we had traded off climates
instead of being on the Atlantic seaboard
it appeared as though we had been trans
ferred to the more delightful and milder re
sions of the Pacific, where here is no neec
of overcoats, mufHers and like appendage'
for human comfort. But stormy old March
has commenced his usual tickle pranks, ane
reminds us that if it is "Spring time," tha
he has yet his part to play in the 'caste" O.
seasons, as overcoats and muf1ers feel ver5
comfortable this morning.
Business continues very dull, and | have
but little hope, in the present agitated state
of the country, that it will be any better
soou. Among the working and laboring
classes, the suffering has been very great
caused from the want of employment. Peo
pie now seem to think that when busi1esi
does open, it will be better than ever before
In the way of charity, according to publish
ed reports, there has been greater demand
this winter, at the public institutions, thar
ever before, not even excepting lS57-'5s
Trade in the mercantile line, during the
last ten days of February, was good, owing
to desire on the part of buyers and sellers
to avoid the new tariff regulations of the
Southern Confederacy. Since the 18th ult.,
little or nothing has been done in the way
of shipping to the South.
There is considerable excitement here.
caused by a dispatch on the bulletin boards
of the different newspaper Offices, to the eff
feet that Fort Sumter had been attacked by
the Southerners; also, another, that Presi
dent Davis had ordered the troops of the
Confederate States to concentrate at Charles
ton. I do not believe there is any truth in
either as we are continually being duped
by sensation dispatches and letters concern
ing the war movements in the South.
Lincolu's message had a very Salutary
effect on the people of this city, generally
nearly all seeming to think it conciliatory'
and leaning towards any thing but coercion
while the reports from the South indicate
that it is taken as a declaration of war. As
for my own part, it appears so contradictory.
I cannot arrive at any conclusion. If could
see through pair of Black Republican
eyes, l might make up my mind that it is
conciliatory. If it is, 81 don't see it,
Take it on the whole, as Doestichs would
say: "It is big thing"-for the Repub
licans. Nore anon. Z. b. u.

PROGRESS OF THE SLAVE POPULATION.
The returns of the national census show
very material growth oftbe slave popula-
ton during the last decade. In every
Southern State, except Delaware, Mary
land and Missouri, the increase Of the slave
population has been nearly in the same
ratio as that of the free population, white
and colored; and in the aggregate the
growth of the slave population in the fifteen
Southern States has kept pace with that of
the whole population of the United States
that is to say, it shows an increase of
about thirty per cent. in ten years. And
very curiously even in Missouri-surroun-
ded on three sides by free States-where
we we're told that slavery was rapidly dying
out, the number of slaves has increased
from S7,422 in 1850, to 1853 in the
year 1860, and this, too, with abundant op.
portunity of running them off, and very
great loss from this cause.
