The light that is being spread
on this subject is beginning to
correct this practice to some ex-
tent, but in most instances very
little is returned to the soil to
keep it alive, till after several
years Of continual cropping it
manlfests signs Of exhaustion and
ultimate barrenness. When tillers
OF the soil understand their true
interests, they will cultivate no
more land than they can do we'll.

down there he went to party,
and while at the party danced
often, and became very familiar
with the wife of one of the settlers.
|Rackensack stood it as long as he
could, but finally becoming en-
ragged, he walked up to the blood
and said: 'Look here, mister,

the blood. "Why this; you dance
with her again. and I'll blow the

State, on the relation Of ETC.,
against James r. Head.-This
case comes up a second time,
being on appeal from a Judgment
against the defendant. The excep-
tions, that the petition being adj
dressed to the Hon. Jno. L. Lewis
was not addressed to a competent
judge, and that the place of resi-
dence Of the defendant is not
mentioned in the petition, are
without merit. 1t is unnecessary,
ruled the Court, Howe j., to take
up the other exceptions. We
think there was error in the Judge
below refusing to allow Il trial by
jury. The act Of 1858 deprives
the defendant of q general right
to jury, as according to the 18th
section, we apprehend the mean
ing to be that the cause may be
tried in chambers if neither party
asks for jury, but it is necessary
to appoint special term when
the regular term is not in session
Judgment appealed from revcr-
sed.

great public attention all through

a very simple one. IF he was Of
sound memory and discretion, to
use the old Saxon phrases, ON the
subject of homicide when he fred
the fatal shot then his, act 1Was
murder; but whether or not he
was of sound memory and discre-
ton, will become question for
the petit jury, and it is not in your
province. Your duty. is to asCer-
tain if the allegations be true, that
Mcfarland fired the shot that
caused Richarson's death. I think

NEGRO EMIGRATION

wARD.-The Virginia papers adj
wise us of a remarkable migration
of the colored people Southwark.
The demand for labor in the cot
ton belt, and in the cane fields of
Louisiana, is what is attracting
them especially at the present
time. The climate and industry
Of the more Southern States, how
ever, are better adapted to them
than those further North; they
get better wages, and live more
comfortably there, and the prob
ability is that Virginia and North
Carolina will soon lose most of
their colored population.

Livingstone's Work in Africa.

reached us OF Dr. David Living
stones explorations in Africa
promise most important results.
The long-standing reproach of
geographers, that they knew less
of the grand equatorial continent
than the telescope has revealed Of
the moon, is apparently wiped Off.
But this is the least that DR.. Liv-
ingstone has effected by bis re-
lnarkable patience and energy.
Certainly the pride Of our savans
may be humbled, when they. learn
just where Ptolemy said they
were to be found two thousand
years ago.
Whether the great explorer has
really found the head waters of
the Nile or not, he has found
1Odeg. or 12deg. south of the
equator twenty-three large Afri-
can rivers and has effectually
opened up a way to them and to
the country they drain. Such a
discovery is no small matter.
Twenty streams flowing to
the north and bearing water
enough to fill the bed of the mai
estic Egyptian river, besides filing
several vast lakes as Tauganyika
and Chowambe, Indicate country
Of abounding moisture and fertil-
ity, and highly elevated and salu-
brious. We have here an entrance
for commerce and Christianity
into the heart of one of the grand
est continents of the globe. The
western coast of Africa is COM
paratively salubrious. Mr.. Du
Chaillu tells us, and it's tempera-
ture remarkably uniform. A SIN
gle railroad or canal bringing
together this coast and the inte-
rior, now opened up by the labors
of Livingstone, would pour into
our markets tide Of wealth of
which we have little dreamed.
The productions of Africa, when
realized through the advances
that are being made into it's hith
erto unknown wilds, Will not be
the spoil Of Europe alone. Our
commercial position gives us, es-
pecially with an Isthmian canal,
the full benefit of any future South
African trade. For, from near
the Cape Of Good Hope, in a di-
rect line to the equator, on the
meridian of Cape st. Rogue,
nature has made the finest sea
route on the Atlantic; and so GER
tain and regular are the winds
which sweep the American trader
homeward, that sailors have call
ed this track the ''Gulf Stream in
the Air.'' The great results that
may be looked for from the Suez
Canal, the opening up of the AT
rican continent to the enterprise
of the world, and our improving
relations with China and Japan,
may go Il great way toward the
solution of the Darien Canal ques-
ton, and the revival and extern
sion Of American commerce.-N.
