AN Illinois family that visited Marietta
| some months ago. came to the conclusion
that the Southern people we're not treating
the negroes right, and all that the negroes
needed was chance. SO when they left
they bred two negro women, paid their
! expenses, &c, TO Illinois. A letter was
received from the family the other day and
| from it we are permitted 20 make the fol,
lowing extract: Mrs says to tell
you that she acknowledges that you, and
the southern people, know more about tie
negroes than she did She has had some
experience lately that has materially
changed her ideas with respect to them.
She was very positive that ali the negroes
wanted was tair chance, that they were
very much abused.people &c. &c, but she
has very materially changed her ideas in
this respect. The letter goes on at length
and details how these colored people have
disappointed and deceived them. The
Marietta people have no trouble to get
along with the negroes because they know
how to deal with them.
