yelled routes, and haYe been seldom seen
by travellers. They are scattered over
| all the South, but are most numerous in
the border states and in Texas The
most Of them own small farms, and till
the soil with their own hands. Some of
them have one or two slaves, and in rare
instances the more industrious have ac-
quired ten or ffteen-but they work
with the blacks il the fields, and treat
them very much as our Northern farm
ers treat their hired workmen. Before
the var the traveller in tie interior of
North Carolina would have heard the axe
Of master and man falling with alternate
strok kes in the depths Of the evergreen
forests, or he would have seen the two
fffcamped out',1together in the same tent
or pine-pole cabin, drinking from the
same gourd-the darky always after his
master-eating from the same rude+table,
and sharing the same bed-the cabin
floor-7in common. So, too, in Kentucky,
Tennessee, Missouri, Western Virginia,
and middle and upper Georgia, Alabama
and Mississippi, he would have seen the
white and the black ploughing side by
side or, barred to the waist, swinging the
old-iashioned scythe, in good natured ri
yalry as to which could cut the broadest
swath Of yellow wheat or waving timo-
| thy or tote the biggest bundle Of corn
to the evening husking-bee. And when
the evening had come,3 he would have
found them gathered in the old log barn,
hnsking, and singing, and shouting,
and dancing in company, to the tune Of
"Ole Virglnny," or sRose, Rose, de

The more wealthy of this class sometimes
give their children what might be called
a fair ,common-school education, but full
ly one-half Of them never learn to read
or write. The reason Of this is, there
are nc schools for the common people. at
the South, In a village, ten or twenty
miles distant, there may be pretenti-
GUS "Female College," or ''Institute of
Learning for Young Men, y where 'a lit
tile Latin and less Greek" are dispensed
to the young idea at the rate of four or
five hundred dollars per annum but
these prices place their .'stores of know
ledge far above the reach Of the hard
telling farmer. Only in Tennessee, 50 far
as know, are there any free schools, and
the scanty state allowance, which form
erly supported them, was dealt out with
a most parismonious hand by the ruling
aristocracy. How much light these ainf.
stitutions gave the people may be guess
cd at from the fact that any. one was
qualified to instruct in them who could
''read, write and do sums in addition" "

DIR. Philip while in Egypt writes:
81 never saw such an exhibition of the
helplessness Of man, as | have seen to-
day. While we were sitting at dinner,
a person came into the house quite pale,
and told us that the locusts were ap-
preaching. Every face gathered black-
ness. [ went to the door. I looked
above, and all around, and | saw moth
ing. Look to the ground, was the reply,
when | asked where they were | look
ed to the ground, and there I saw a
stream of young locusts without wings
covering the ground, at the entrance of
the village. The. stream was about FIVE
hundred feet broad, and covering the
ground, moving at the rate of two miles
an hour. In few minutes they cover
ed the garden wall, some inches deep.
The water was Immediately let into the
channel, into which it flows to water the
garden. They swim with the greatest
ease over standing water, but the stream
carried them away, and after floating in
it about hundred PAGES they were
drowned. All hands were now at work
co keep them from the gardens, and to
keep them from crossing the streams
To examine this phenomenon more near
ly, walked about mile and half
from the village, following the course Of
the stream of locusts. Here found the
strear- extending mile in breadth, and
like thousand .rivulets, all flowing into
one common channel. It appeared as if
the dust under my feet were forming in
to life, as if God, when He has contro-
versy with the people. could raise the
very earth on which they tread, in arms
againts them. Man can conquer the tt
ger, the elephant, the lion, and all the
wild beasts of the desert, he can turn
the course Of mighty ,yivers,-he can
elude the violence of the tempest, and
chain the winds to his car,-he can raise
the waters into clouds, and by means Of
steam create power that's yet beyond
human measurements can plav with
the lightenings, and arrest the thunders
of heaven; but he is as nothing before
an army of locusts. Such a scene
as | have seen this afternoon, would
fill England with more CONSERVATION
than the terrific cholera. One of the
people here Informed me, that he had
such stream that continued ten days
aud nights, flowing upon his place. Dur
ing that time every person in the place
was at work to preserve his garden. AS
TO the eorn,felds they were Obliged to
give them up. They continued to the
fifth day defending their gardens. On
the evening of the fifth day, the locusts
were between FIVE and ten feet Deep and
the mass by this time became terrible,
and literally fell in pieces over his gar
den walls" f,u
