corsets in south Carolina.
from the Philadelphia Age.l

Occasionally there strays into our hands q
periodical called The American Freedman, pub
lished in New York and Philadelphia, under
the auspices of ''The American FIeedman's
Union Commission" The June number is now
before us, and contains some startling revela-
tions. Let us, before referring specifically to
these, premise that this is, emphatically, q
feminine publication. 1t is the organ of the
tssohool marms." The association which issues
it is under female control. 1t has eight male
officers in Philadelphia, and si1ty-eight women
sschairmen and secretaries" ALI the commu-
nications are from adventurous females. and,
naturally enough, the subjects about which
they write have feminine tinge. But
this June number, we r egret to say,
reveals signs Of a decided reaction in
Intensely n % feminine Elm interest. Those ladies' who
have gone South are enlinently the friends OF
development, mental and physical. They
think, and right, too, that neither the human
mind, black or white, nor the human body,
should be subject to artificial restraints. Physi-
caliy, they glory in the Venus of Milo or Medici,
unhampered by dress, or Hottentot beauties
developed in other directions. Judge there
fore, of their surprise, when they discovered, !,
In South Carolina, that the first tendency Of
the freedwoman-the emancipated negress-
was to check the exuberant development natu-
raj to the race, and to put on corsets and lace
tightly. The following are literal quotations:
ssMIiss Laura NJ. Towne, depicting the igno
rance and superstition in st. Helena Island, s.
G., writes: The need Of mental culture is so
great that all other needs seem Of less impor-
tance. The vices OF domestic tyranny un-
cleanliness, card-playing, smoking, drinking,
and tight lacingl against which slavery guard
ed, from the self-interest Of the owner, can now
only be overcome by education"
In letter Of late date Miss Laura writes:
'eThe women and girls are just taking the idea
Of tight lacing," and then she adds:
s'In short, we are kept constantly on the
alert by some new aspect of the old enemy,
generally in such matters as were before regu-
lated by the old slave owners, the people hay
ing no intelligent reason given them for the
necessity Of the order they had to obey. In
struction must now remedy this"
Now, such report must present o startling
and perplexing problem to the Philadelphia
ladies' to whom it is made, every one Of whom
j. at this moment encased in that feminine
garment composed Of muslin and whalebone,
known as corset, and laced up to the full ex-
tent of the elasticity Of the female form. Are
not the freed women entitled 10 the same pri-
yilege2 If white Mrs. A. or Mrs. B. or Miss P.
can lace tightly, why shall not Topsy do the
same thing?

ToTAI. Loss OF STEAMSHIP NEvADA.-Ihe
steamship Nevada from New York for Vera
Cruz via Sisal and Havana, WITH heavy cargo
and ten cabin passe gers,y went ashore on
Hatteras shoals Ga FRIDAY night, and PROVED
total loss. Her passengers and crew, with the
exception Of one Of the latter, were saved ana
arrived at Norfolk Tuesday, per wrecklng
steamer Resolute. Tie Virginian has the fol-
lowing particulars Of the disaster: The Nevada
left New York on tho n instant, and nothing
occuJred worthy 81 mention until Friday night
last. about twelve o'clock, when the vessel,
going at full speed, strnck heavily. The great
est confusion ensued among the passengers,
no one seeming to know where me snip was,
soon as it cleared away, it was found that the
vessel was hard and fast upon the Hatteras
shoals, about four or five miles southeast Oh
ithe lighthouse.
!. The vessel struck heavily. shaking her like
an aspen leaf. Captain McGiH. used every ell
fort to get her off but to no purpose, ABOUT
nine o'clock on Saturday morning, the 6tn OF
June, it was found that the vessel was leak,
ing very fast, when the boats were lowered
and all the passengers landed. at twelve
O'Clock, the vessel having filed and no hopes
Of eaying her, the crew. with one exception,
were safely landed. About five o'clock on
Saturday afternoon the vessel foated OH the
shoal, drifted few miles to the southwark
water.
The passengers and crew after being landed
were furnished shelter and food by the light
house keeper, and information OF the disaster
sent to Newbern with request for assistance:
On Sunday morning the tug .Resolute arrived
and took the passengers and crew on board.
Among the passengers were some young
ladies Of Havana, upon their return home
from school in New York. They lost every
thing they had with them upon the steamer,
money, clothing and jewels. and on reaching
Norfolk were bare footed. Immediately upon
these necessities being made known, the ladies'
at the National Hotel, where they were taken:
generously rendered them the use of their
Sardrobes,. and everything was done that
could alleviate their troubles.
The Nevada was an elegant fTst-class steam
ship. about twenty five hundred tons burden,
built expressly for the Vera Cruz trade. and
how OF by what means she ran in 30 close as to
strike the shoal, cannot be conjectured, except
bv one Of those unaccountable circumstances
which the best navigator in the world is liable
to-an incorrect compass.

early in the season to make any positive calcu-
lations as to whether we will have heavy har-
vest or not, yet the crops are much farther ad-
vanced and in far letter condition than they
we're last year. Planters generally in the east,
as far as we can learn, are in excellent spirits
over the prospects, and we hope that the yield
will be large, that our planters may realize
enough to relieve many from the financial diff
fculties with which the comp mparatiye failure OF
last year involved them.
