The CONDITION OF THE NEGROES IN THE South.
An Engishman, who has lived nearly thirty years in
the South calls the attention of London paper to the
following statement There were imported into the
British West Indies 100000 negro slaves, and shen
they were manumitted there were 100000. Into the
Southern States 100000 were imported, and there
were before the war, 100000. The decrease in the
former and increase of the latter strong facts the
climatic influence is on the side of the West Indies
there must then have been very different treatment,
and the views of the antislavery party, probably,
based upon their experience is false to ours.
Again, acurate research gives the number of white
communicates in the Southern States at 10000
in three of the adult population. OF the celored
people-506 ,eO0-one in four OF their adults. Surely
the blessing of God must be with such state of things

brick and mortar. The eastern or sea face which
is exposed to the fire both of ship and shore bat

now perfectly able of being scaled, from two to two
