An algamation and Slavery in the
South,
We extract the following from late
Beaufort Is. O. letter:


We extract the following from late
Beaufort Is. O. letter:
Black slavery at the North is differ
ent thing from white slavery, and beg
TO say TO those who will lean to the side
of the Oppressor that white slavery is
constitutional" in Georgia. Among the
slaves brought from the coast is a grand
mother and numerous family. The
elder woman is tall, stately and digniGed.
The blood of some proud race flushes her
almost white face. Her daughters are
both whittier and darker than herself, and
her grandchildren are whittier STILL and
some Of them very beautiful.
One babe is perfectly white. 1t has
not forid blush sandy mai and blue
eyes. But its skin is very fair, its eyes
large, lustrous and brown, while not a
vestge of the dnky hair would shame
the proudest Anglo-SaXon mother to call
IL her own.
1t was amusing to one who has been
cultured into belief that human lber
ty isnot based upon the color Of the
skin or curl Of the hair, and that virtue
and vice belong to no sex but on the
eternal principles of right and wrong to
witness the attention paid to this child
of some freeman, born into slavery
through the direful curse laid by the
law upon It's mOther.
No doubt this father, whoever he may
be, holds up his hands in holy horror at
the idea of legal amalgamation, reads
his bible to find some sembance of the
old Jewish law, TO prove it "Diyine in
stitution," land talks wisely in the
streets, too, about the degradation and
RIGHTEOUSNESS Of the negro race.
This little white lamb among a color
ed flock was petted and pat;ed and
even kissed; for it was kept sweet and
clean in pink and white. What world
of thought clustered around that one
sweet child.
"She has stolen il, +" said one. "She
has run away with her mistress' child
said another But the great brown eyes,
so full of subdued sorrow, revealing, even
in babyhood, the wrongs of another, were
SO exactly duplicates of those that look
ed down upon il tepderly, that there was
not left room for the shadow of a doubt
that she was its true mother,
"Oh, hoW the soldiers of FoR Pulaski
did curse and swear at the institution OF
slavery, when they saw that baby" said
an officer TO me- as we stood looking at
it, "They now wish to fight il to the
death"

Prairie du Chieu, about twenty-one
milesia above the mouth Of White river,
but, owing TO the extreme shallowness OF
the water, the boats could only get up
some three miles. They came across no
considerable body Of the enemy, and
had scarcely an opportunity for skirm-
ish. After remaining about the mouth Of
White river two or three days, the whole
expedition returned TO Helena on Friday.
We regret TO learn. that some few OF
the soldiers without orders, and in a
mere wanton spirit, burned the houses OF
Mrs. Brandeburg and Messrs. Cradle and
McHenry, for which they will doubtless
be severely punished. 81.

We were called on yesterday by Mr..
M. G. MoMAKEN, of Hamilton, Ohio, who
has been sent here by Governor ToDD, of
Ohio, as the Sanitary Agent of the State,
to visit the various Military Hospitals at
this and other places, to look after the
sick and wounded Ohio soldiers, and
provide for their comfort. He will be
most cordially welcomed by the afflicted
soldiers, and we trust will be assisted in
his benevolent labors by our humane
citizens. If any being in the world needs
sympathy and kind attentions, it is the
sick soldier, far from his home, his family
and his friends.

Political classification among the Mis-
siouri Pukes is somewhat amusing. Ia
ST Louis they ignore the old terms OF
Republican and Democrat, and even the
accommodating designation Of Unionists.
Instead of these they have Clay bank"
for Republican Unionists, Charcoal
for Emancipationists, and Chocolate for
Democrats.

A SCENE AT REvIEw.--There was q
beautiful instance of flne borsemanship dis
played al late review held at Vienna, on
The occasion Of the fiftieth anniversary of
the establishment of the military order Of
the Maria Theresa, when some thirty thou
sand cavalry we're 10 line. A little child in
the font row of the spectators, becoming
frightened rushed forward just as a squad
ron of hussars were charging at full tilt
swooping down with maddening velocity
almost on the child. Terror paralyzed alike
the spectators and the mother, while the
lovely and amiable Empress almost tainted
with horror. for the child's destruction
seemed inevitable. The little one was al.
most under the horses feet-another instant
would have sealed it's doom-when hussar
without lessening his speed or loosening his
hold, threw himeelf along his horse's neck
and seizing the child, placed 1t in safety in
front Of his saddle, without so much rs
changing the pace or breaking the align
ment in the least. A hundred thousand
voices hailed with pride and joy the deed,
while two voices could but sob their graft
tude: the one a molher's-the other, that
of her sympathisng and beloved Empress
A proud moment that must have been for

And the good that can do.

Whose deeds crown History's pages,
And Times great volume make.

When man shall live by reason,
And not alone by gold;
When man to man united.
And every wrong thing righted,
The whole world shall be lighted
As Eden was Of old.

FOR the wrong that needs resistance,
For the future in the distance,

JUDIcIoUs ExERUsE.-The Scalpel, edit
ed by Il. II. Dixon, N. d.. has spicy arti-
Gle, entitled "The Hypocrisy Of Gymnas-
nastica'' He says:
It has filed us with horror to see q pro-
posal to add a gymnasium to every public
school in this New York; city. A boy,
until be is fourteen, wants no exercise be-
.ides the play be saould get with bis associ-
ates ia the open air. He will exercise from
his natural impulse, and 10 the most ration
al and natural manner; so you need only
give him dry piece of ground and place
10 swim 10 the Sumner, and plenty OF snow
and ice in the Winter, aud then leave him
alone with his mates. Boys from eight to
twelve years Of age, who work Ia the gym
nasum regularly "a bad habit, often de-
velop their musless 70 hide0usly ugly de.
gree. Instead of the soft, plump, juicy
outline Of youth, we have the skinny, over
worked, hard and dry outline of an old
man. induced by over exercise at an age
which does not demand violent exercise Of
any kind. Besides this. we think that such
processes are apt 10 retard the growing of
boys, and ultimately destroy their carriage
and figures when they become men. Our
readers may have observed the same thing
iu the appearance of the legs of some Of our
juvenile dancers. Excessive exercise. be-
sides injuring the mental faculties of man,
has tendency to injure the circulation of
his blood. A stupid, clownish fellow, who
had for the last eight months undergone
the most painful and exhausting exerciss of
the gymnasium, for FIVE or six hours every
day. complained to me of the smallness of
his legs. On looking at him, / saw, what
afterwards discovered to be prevalent
among acrobats aud circus actors, falling
of in flesh from the knees dOwnwards, and
from the elbows to the fingers.
