Antagonism of Rare in America.
The above is tho subject of n ver]
Interesting article in a Into number o
jBfaekievod't Ma go tint, in which th
*writer tells some unpalatable truth
for the benefit of our Northern breth
ren. They are facts which t nnnot b<
gaj^eayed, going to show-that prctcn
dqi love to tho negro has been con
jpfoed with bitter cruelty to the In
^Iaii Oll/l fliof ilt A nnli'/trr 4a Iwtf 1

ted Belf&hncss.
"Wi^i the Indian, tho warhaslastcc
for tyore than three centuries and i
not yet concluded. lie hH8 beei
driven alike from the sca-bourd ant
tho interior, from tho lnkos and th<
Ckilf, and is being fast prossod to th<
lopes of the Ilocky Mountains. O
the powerful Indian tribes who onc<
inhabited this country not more that
200,000 remain, and tho policy of to
tal extermination has been seriouslj
urged, as "the cheapest and most hu
tuano method of managing Indiai
affairs.
With regard to the black man, th(
policy of tho North, (whatovei
may bo now pretended) has been evei
dictated by something of tho sam<
spirit?often times cruel, and at all
times Belfish. Sho claims a monopoly
?fgood will to tho colored race. XJut
what aro tho facts?
Is slavery sinful ? Yet it seems thai
tfeo very Puritans that landed in the
JIayflowor ostcexned it a divino institution,
and enslaved tho wives and
iij ii- - T. i*.
?miuroa ui mho conquered inuianp ;
and the North equally with tho South
contributed to fix ithe institution of
negro slavery upon .this country. ICc
one at that day thought slavery was
a sin or any thing elso than right and
proper, and >tho modern ideas on the
subject aro the fruit not so much ol
philanthropy as of party politics, and
economic views of sectional advancc
mentv .
Whj*<did tlio North emancipate a1
home? She claims to have dono i'
.from Christian charity to the enBlavcc
?fram lore "to the man and the broth
or." Is this so ? No, it was becau6<
negro labor waB costly, in efficient niic
unprofitable in the cold Northeri
climate?It was bccanse white laboi
:was discovered to be best, and thai
negro slavory did not pay. That ii
anything olso than philanthropjis
nhown by the fact that tho mon
far-seeing among them, in antiiipatior
oi emancipation, eoia tucir anuj-Dod

against Attorney Goncral Hoar's motion
for a rehearing of tho question,

f press of the country deprecate any
reversal of tho decision ; especialI3*
I as tho main object of tho reversal is
I' to establish tho supremacy of Congress,
and destroy all the limitations of

with one feature of my travi
through this great State?that is
e warmth with which a South Caruian

where I arrived at 5 p in., I lost

roliniana and in an hour's talk
th one or two of them after supper,

Merchants and tradesmen in Mississippi
generally seem to bo thriving
and depots aro rapidly growing iuto
villages. But a sojourn on Saturday
a any of theno littlo towns noon reveals
the eaueo. Every nogro in ton
miles of the placo is thero spending
his money, mortgaging his crops, or
throwing away bis earnings; aud the
contract system in this Stnto generally
seems to me to be, for tho planter
to slive about as much for himself as
will supply his necessary wants, and
the "nigger" gets the balance, to be
squandered as above. Of tho merchants
who get theso earnings, I can
only say their Shibboleth betrayeth
them; they all seem to be preparing
for a return to Pulestine, from tho
manner they aro hording up thoir illgotten
gains. A Jew in Alabama or
Mississippi can sull a frcedman a yard
of calico for "two bits" easier than a
nutivo Christian can two yards for
one bit. So wags this Western world
uow-a-days.
Corn generally has been plantod,
and most men are anxious to begin
planting cotton, but tho cold, wet
Spring thus far has prevented, though
I have seen several cotton fields planted,
and often heard tho planter wishing
his seed wero in tho gin house.

To the Editor of the Brooklyn Euyle :
,The following Communication contributed
by Mr. II. W. Itialc^-, to the
Columns of the Brooklyn Eayle will
1 be read with interest by toir readers.
Mr. Risley, paid a recent visit to our
section, and several communications
appeared in our paper from bin pen.
Having spent the past winter in a
somewhat extended tour through the
Southern Atlantic States to the Gulf,
visiting almost every section from the
soaboard to the mountains; and having
enjoyed facilities for learning the
views and sentiments of all Classes
and partios in regard to their present
and prospective condition, nnd seen
a vast amount of undeveloped wealth,
I submit tho following statement, as
the result of somoof mv observations,
for tho information of thoso who feel
anv interest in that seetion.
And first, in regard to tho pooplc.
Tho blacks, who arc tho most valuable
laborers in the world, ivhen treated
right, and especially for field services,
at porno crop in thai cliraato?
after having been cruelly tempted,
imposed upon, and U6ed, by loyal
demagogues?aro fast learning who
are their truo friends, and finding
their truo position. Tho intelligent
and influential classes, who pay tho
taxes for the support of government,
although excluded from participating
in its management, approve and cordially
support every honest scheme
for educating and improving the moral
and physical condition of their colored
fellnu*.Wt.i*nnB Tliftxrnlan inn)!
?
ally welcomo every now-comer, from
whatever land or scction, or calling of
industry?except tho "political carpet-bag
speculators," whom they as
heartily despise. As in every other
section, there outlaws and outrages,
but with all tKo whiskey and flre-nrms
?which many of tho younger and
more ignorant citizens of both colors
1 1 ? - " ?
man Iiiciuciuivvn U1 "B1I1C0 Il'CCtlOfrl
camo"?there are fower brawls and
less danger to life or property in all
Iho Southern States than there is in
any of our larger Northern cities.
True, there has been a good deal of
petty thieving of pigs, chickens, &c?
but the stories of Ku Klux outrages
are mannfacturcd or colored up for political
and speculative purposes, and
they have had thoir effect. Thousands
of Northern and Western men,
who have had tho courage to trust
thoir lives in that section, have made
investments and are ongaging in entorprisos
that will demonstrate the
fact tho South offers greater inducements
for the farmer, the manufacturer
and the mechanic than any othor
portion of the world.
Tho invalid and those predisposed
to certain hereditary diseases can find
in the humid and temporate air of
the seaboard, or in the bracing atmosphere
of tbo hilly and mouutain ro;ioo,
the Climate best adapted to bis
:aeo. Tho agriculturist can find ovey
variety of soil, and e*n grow eve*ything
that can be produced in any
tther paft of oar country, besides scvsri.l
valuable staples that will grow
io where olso. And fof tho nlantjfac.uring
of many stapld products there '
s no section of this' country, if in tho*
vorld, that jjossessep such immense .

Report of thi President and Directors
of the Greenville and Columbia
Railroad.
This Report haa juat been published
aud shows an unusually prosperous
condition of the Road. Tho
gross earnings during tho past year
woro $400,105.50, or #54,669.68 larger
than for any year, either before or
since tho war. Tho not earnings
were 8152,416.98; larger than any
year cither beforo or since the war
oxccpt 1859.
Tho whole bonded debt of tho
itoau is Sl,Ub2,U83.y7. Tho intorest
is being promptly paid as it matures,
nnd the market value of tho bonds
has advanecd 300 per cent, in the
last two years. The contemplated
extensions of the Road will, it is supposed,
largely increase the prosperity
of tho Road, and pour a golden tido
of wealth into tho Stato.
V&* We had tho pleasuro of rcceiv
ing a visit during the past week from
Mr. W. C. Carrington, tho cnorgotic
President of the Piedmont & Arlington
Life Insurance Company. Mr.
C. has enstamped upon him all the
marks of "go-ahcadativcncss" and
we have no doubt that to tho business
energy and liberal spirit which he
has infused into the company, its remarkable
success is largely owing.
