Color PREJUDICES IN HAYTI-Notwith-
standing the indication gived in my last letter
the decided feeling of luminosity to Americans
among the people Of Puerto Prince, we have
continued daily to perambulate the city, and to
return their scowls with smiles, and to be rather
amused with their evidences of dislike They
arc undoubtedly an ignorant people, but they
entertain the same prejudice against white
skin that some people at home DO against a
black one So long as those who claim to be
enlightened uphold and defend this prejudice
and ministers have preached 1T from their pull
pits, VIC must not condemn the negro OF the
tropics for considering white SKIN as the mark
of an inferior race That they do so is an I'M
doubted fact, and any. shade lighter than utter
darkness is graded as it is with us as one step
towards the degraded color No man with
white skin can hold property here, as was the
case in the South before the war with regard TO
the black race, and all interulixture OF race Is
equally Degrading 1t is singular TACT that
they adhere to their prcjudices more closely
and practice them more faithfully than their
American pro slavery brethren, az the almost
universal shade here is so black that charcoal
would make white mark on the faces of most
of the natives-Letter IN Baltimore -1osctcsm.
HAYTlEN CANNlBAls-Thc following is Ill
extract Of i letter from Hayti, published III the
Baltimore American
There is no doubt that cannibalism at one
time had considerable sway among the moun-
tainccrs, and that some vestigcs OF it still re-
main During the reign of Getfrard four men
and four women were brought to the stake and
shot for the offence, who died with I'LL the ell
thusiasm that Christian martyrs have display
ed in their last moments The sacrifice OF
children to their Gud is the essence OF their re-,
ligion, and they partake of the flesh and blood
with all the feryor that the Christian S;'cra-
ment Of the Lords Supper is partaken.
There is priestess of the order in l'uert"
Prince, and it is believed that the sacrifice Is
NOW pert;rlned in secret. Since the execution
Of the eight martyrs the sect il said to have m
creased to such All extent, especially III the
mountains that it is not now regarded rs safe or
polite for the Government to persecutc them
any more.

SYNoPosIs.-The barometer has fallen some
what on the Pacific coast, with a high westerly
wind. 1t has risen from the upper lakes east
ward to the Atlantic, and is now lowest on the
lower Missouri and south of the Cumberland
mountains. The temperature has risen during
the day in the south Atlantic, and fallen on the
lakes and in the eastern states. The threaten
ing and rainy weather has moved eastward, and
prevailed during the night from Ohio to New
Jersey and uorthward. but has now almost en-
tirely cleared away. Partially cloudy and clear
weather has prevailed north and west of Indiana.
fRoBABILITIEs.-It is probable that local
rams i viii pass over the middle gulf coast, and
that storm of moderate dimensions will pass
over Georgia and South Carolina A more ex.
I 1enued ram is threatening the Ohio valley and
Illinois. Cloudy weather, with brisk north
eastern winds, will probably be experienced
westerly winds are probable for the middle and
