this correspondence have shown that the
health OF the white people is generally cN-

sensational reports now and then put aiioat
by uniformed people. But the mortuary
reports also show that the deaths OF the
colofed people, though THEN population is
not much larger than that OF the whites,
number from Two TO three times those OF
the white people. And now IL appears
from official statements that the cemetery
for coiorcd people, containing about eight
acres OF land, has not any more space to be
occupied. THIS cemetery was taken by the

from the Green estate, aud afterwards paid
