Negro Mortality.

TO show the extent OF The mortality
among the negroes, the Mobile Register
says:
1--WE do not doubt that more Southern
negroes have died Of disease, caused by
improvideDce in state Of freedom for
which they were utterly unpreparet, than
have fallen by The sword in The armies ol
both the North and South, in the late
sanguinarv conflict"
A letter from Green Ridge, Arkansas,
also says:
The mortality amongst the negroes in
The towns (where they will all go if they
can get Ihere) is very great, chiefly Iroo'
The prevalence Of smallpox. In fact,
believe The race will become exlinc, in a
few years. Strange as it may seem.
mothers take but lHile care Of their young
now tina, they are obliged TO support
them. In. many cases they destroy their
babes"
And again, This writer says:
"There are not hands enough IN this
State to cultivate one. half Of the land that
was planted before the war. The NOR
slily among the negroes since they be-
came free is something fearful. and II is a
rare thing 10 see negro baby"
