hunger come on, he will set himself more
earnestly to labor than lie has dcne for the
past year; bat it is contrary to the fundanen-
ia! principles 0fhis constitution, that he should
be industrious. Those very Qualities which
made Kim useful slave must render him q
useless freedman. The docility, the conf
dcnce in the master, the forgetfulucss Of the
past and the carc!essncss Of the futurc-thc
general happy, tracta0lc disposition which
characterized him aiways-are proof sufficient
of q total deficiency Of that energy and that
thought which are required TO impcl men for
ward. When he gets enough to secure him
from starvation for little while, he will quit
his work when the snn is hot he will 80 to
sleep, if he has to starvc for it. 1t is usvlass
to say that slavery has dwarfed his faculties.
The only approach that race has made to civil
li2ation has, been under the hands of the wlitc
master. Every Poytion Of Africa held by nc
gr0es is sunk in the lowest barbarisnl, no mat
ter how fiac the climate or how fruitful the
soil. Filth, idleness, Ignorance, lust and
superstition envelope eccry foot Of territory
inhabited by them. Even those who have
been rared under our civilization and then
removcd from the influence Of the white race,
have always retrogradcd sadly, and, in most
cases, ,relapsedalmoSt completely into the oriGi-
nal bar5a1iSln. Indeed if there be any con-
ncction between the laws of matter and the
laws of mind, we must believe energy and
prudence utter strangers to the African
No man with such q small brain can have an
enlarged mind, no man whose brain can stand
to bake in July sun can have fine perccp-
tons, 10 nan who delights to wrap up his
face and sweitcr in stencil and carb0nic acid
gas can enjoy the Inspiration Of high senti-
ments. may seem to require too much Tor
my laborer; but, in truth, understate the case.
All men hate work, and only two things can
in state Of freedom, overcome their aversion;
the actual good of hunger, and the spirit of
prudence which seeks to provide for the fu-
ture. The latter the negro is, in the main,
utterly destitute Of; tEe former can hardly
reach him, because there is always something
to steal, and because labor is SO scarce that
he can always find some sort of empoyment
The coercion Of the law he laughs Ht-the
most solemn covenants contain no obligation
in his eyes. There is but one argument which
can achhim-and that argument we can 10
larger apply.
therefore hold that some other labor than
that of the negro is required for our restora-
ton to even measure Of the prosperity We
formerly enjoyed. propose to show next
week, whence this labor is to be brought, and
how, and what consequences may be expected
to attend it.

"Sumtcr," the New York correspondent


"Sumtcr," the New York correspondent Of
the Charleston Courier, says:
Among the coming wonders arc two French
cymnasts, who are announced to appear in
New York on the 11th Of June, under the
MANAGEMENT Of 3IeSsrs. Piatt and King, two
wealthy Californians. These gynlnasts are
two brothers named Gruct and Julio Bu!slay.
What they do, reads like an Arabian Nights
tale. They have a Niagara leap" which
is described as follows: "Gruet Bui>lay as
cends to the topmost gallery of the theatre,
where 4 fIail pedestal is erected, on which he
stands clutchiDg two ropes which arc fastened
in the dome at a signal from his brother he
swings off over the heads Of the spectators,
and clutches pair of rings suspended from
the proscenium and directly over the orches.
ira, distance Of s. feet; by half somcr-
sault he places his feet in these rings, and then
while suspending head down, he receives a
small trapeze bar, which he holds beneath
him. Julio Buislay then mounts the fral
stand in the gallery, and, as previously done
by his brother, flies through the air, only
stopping when his feet come in contact with
the trapeze held by Gruet, who is gifted
with apparently supcrhuman strength, and
unfinchingly, for period Of fifteen or eighteen
minutes, supports this enormous weight, while
the dauntleSs Julio, confding in his brothers
strength, performs variety of the most daring
and graceful evolutions, when, suddenly and
violently falling, he appears suspended by one
leg. While in this perilous position, should
either of them falter, they would evidently be
killed, as they are suspended at height Of
60 feet from the stage, with not the slightest
bridge or net to impede their fall" The Buis-
lays are Frcnchmcn by birth, ard have been
performing 10 Europe and South America.
