The exodus of the negroes from the
South still continues, and it is said
that plantation after plantation is
left without laborer. In South
Carolina this movement threatens to
leave the planters without any help
to cultivate their lands, as white
emigrants cannot be induced to come
there and work for the same wages
as the colored people, nor will they
be satisfied with the same rations
and treatment.

1881 is of startling length, even when
the very large increase in steam as
well as sailing craft is considered.
Nearly 200 steamers, most of them
British property, alone have been
wrecked, and all of them but ten or
adozen totally destroyed. Some have
left port and never been heard from,
while the rest have gone upon the
rocks or to pieces under the power of
the unusual storms that have pre-
vailed. This is one of the sad stories
of the year just gone.
