This Is the way a negro correspondent

During the past ten years there has been
what NAV be called a general paralysis
Of the agricultural industries of the South,

however. there has been no material i'm
provement for the reasons stated. In other
words. the masses Of the two races in
that section of the country, instead OF
improving materially, have retrogressed;
but this has been more marked among
the whites than among the blacks. for
the reason that the white mans capital
has been injuriously affected, while the
losses sustained by the blacks, as a mass,
have been In the depreciation OF the value
or their labor. The blacks live on less than
the whites. and II therefore takes less 10

culpeper, Va, Jan. %. 1881.
Editor Times: My attention mas oeen
called TO an article In your paper, dated
2oth Of January, signed "A Relative" men,
tioning an article telegraphed you from
culpeper as TO the sad ending OF my
daughters life on the 18th instant, stat
ing that If the correspondent was no
better informed as TO the cause Of the
suicide than he was touching the relation
ship Of young hin to General y. +. Hill,
they were forced TO believe that they
were not fully informed.
| wish 10 say I'm justice 10 my sorrowing
household and our child, who was 50 dear
TO us, that she left note stating that
she had never been happy since she had
broken an engagement Of marriage with
young Hill, and could never be happy
again. and as life was no pleasure to her
she determined to put an end 20 her I'M
happy existence, begging Of her God and
parents 10 forgive her for the act. and
generating young Hill from all blame as
to their estrangement. Whilst it is in
deed sad TO all parties concerned that pub
Lefty should be given such matters, IL is
but justice to the dead, her relatives and
friends that the public should be in
formed of the facts so far as were as
certained by a note left by her. addressed
to her parents.
II is very true that this engagement
was broken nearly two years ago. and
since that time no living mortal has been
seemingly happier than our daughter.
she never havii alluded TO young Hill
i'm any way unless the subject was men
toned TO her; therefore the only intelli-
gent conclusion TO be drawn is that she
was temporarily insane at the time. and
was neither responsible for the note she
had written nor the dreadful deed she
had performed. and that she has been
forgiven by her God. as she has been by
her sad and loving parents. We have
never seen the article referred to by
young Hills relatives, teegfaDhed from
Culpeper. which mentioned him as
nephew Of General 4. j. Hill.
Respectfully yours.
