Negroes LeaYIng
The negroes are leaving this
State IN large numbers Nest Of
them are moving westward The
Atlanta, Georgia, papers state bat
an average nnnaber ofAt least one
Thousand, pass through that city
every week, seeking their fortunes
IN the great West Some sixteen
hundred have recently passed
through Columbia, on their way
to Floridaand some six hundred
left from the vicinity Of ciolunbia
We observe that many Of she
freedmen have left our District
and this town for parts unknown
We are sorry to have I'd state hess
facts but it is only what mig ht be
expected. thc Legisl latare had

preparations to aid forei q

WOULD have acted moro wise
The negroes we're here
and would hare remained
under proper mana eaent and sa
coaragement They arc much
better adapted to oru climate, and
would naturally enter more readily
into the spirit and wishes Of sheir
former owners than foreigners
ever could Or would. We contend

with the rights and privileges of
white men, but destitute Of eduea

would be able, or even WiIiirg
exercise the moral and industrial
habits Of bis superiors 2 ~ E believe
that their necessities, under tho
humane teachings of their en-
ployers, would soon correct their
habits Of idleness and agran
The negroes arc deporting them
selves much better than people

shawls and eloaks upon the

dnaIly found q silk cloak that

raised it up, examined it carefully,
