THE NEGRO RACE DOOMED. The
Richmond (Na.) Wing says: Under
the form of slavery that existed in the
Southern States, the negroes were the
most prolific race in the world. AS
illustrating the effect upon them in
| this particular of their changed condi-
| ton, the Norfolk Journal says: A
gentleman informed us some weeks
| since that on his farm there are nine
married negro couples, but not one
child among them. Another friend,
from the south side of James River,
told us the other day that there are,
within quarter of mile of his house,
eight negro families, among whom
there has but one child been born since
the war. We have heard many such
accounts from various other sources, all
| pointing to the fact that the increase
of the colored people is now much less
than their decrease by death. In adj
dition to the facts we have stated, we
read in many newspapers thatit is be-
lieved that the same state of things is
general in the South. The next census
will give some strange revelations on
this subject" 1t may have a bearing
on this question to mention that, while
the white population of this city is
undoubtedly materially greater than
the coIored, the official report of NOR
tality last week showed that there
were twenty-five deaths among the lat
ter to thirteen among the former.
