Allon, Chester Julius Poppe, Anderson G. H. Sr P. K(nard, Newberry C H. .mea Orant, ^Jnioh'., '.: *f i> Tlie Negro. From a volume recently published by Samuel "White Baker, entitled, .'Great Basin of tho Nije, and Ex? ploration of the Nile Sources," we make the f oho win g extract. Mr. Baker is an Englishman, and having enjoyed snob abundant opportunity daring his travels inAfrica of form? ing amopinion^ his impartial estimate , deser ves to. be weighed : Tho block man is a curious auomnl ly, the good and bad points of human nature bursting forth without any arrangement, liko the flowers and thorn g o? his own .wilderness. A creature of impulse, seldom actuated by reflection, the black man astounds ? by his complete obtuseness, and aa soddenly confounds yon by an unex? pected exhibition of sympathy. From a long experience with African savages, I think it is as absurd to oondemnjibe negro, in toto, aa it is ?)repooterou8 to compare his intel? ectual Capacity with that of the white man. It is unfortunately the fashion for one party to uphold the negro as n superior being, while tho other denies him the common powers of reason. So great a difference of opinion' has ever existed upon the intrinsic value of the negro, that the very perplexity of the question is a proof that ho is altogether a distinct variety. So long as it is generally considered that the negro and the white man are to be governed by the same laws and guided by the same management, so long will the former remain a thorn in the aide of every community to which he may unhap? pily belong. When the horse and the ass shall be found to match in double harness, the white man and the African black will pull together under, the same regime. It is tho grand error of equalizing that which is unequal, .that has lowered the ne? gro character, and made the black man a reproach. lu the great system of creation that divided races and sub-divided them according to mysterious laws, apportioning special qualities to each, the varieties of tbe human race ex? hibit certain characters and qualifica? tions whioh adapt them for specific localities. Tho natural character of those races will not alter with a ohange of locality, but tho instincts of each race will be developed in any country where they may be located. Tbns the English are os English in Au?t?Miia, India and America as they are in England, and in every locality they exhibit tho industry and energy of their native land; even so tho. African will remain negro in all his native instincts, although transplant? ed to other soils; and those natural instincts being a love of idleness and suv aged om, he will assuredly relupse into an idle and savage state, unless specially governed and forced to in? dustry. The history of the negro has proved the correctness of this theory. In no instance has ho evinced other than a retrogression, when once freed from restraint. Like a horse without har? ness, ho rans wild; but if he bo har? nessed, no animal is moro useful. Unfortunately, this ia contrary to public opinion in England, where the vox populi assumes the right of dictation upon matters and men in which it has bud no experience. Tho English insist upon their own weights and measures as the scales for human excellence; and it has been decreed by tho multitude, inex? perienced in the negro personally, that ho has been a badly treated brother; that he is n worthy member of the human family, placed in an inferior position through the preju? dice and ignorance of the white man, with whom he should be upon equali? ty. The negro has been, and. still is, thoroughly misunderstood. /However severely we may condemn the horri? ble system of slavery, the results of ?mancip?t io ii have proved that the negro docs not appreciate the bles? sings of freedom, nor does .he show the slightest feeling of gratitude tc the hand that broke ? the rivets of his fetters. Bis narrow mind cannot embrace that feeling in pure philan? thropy that first prompted England to declare herself againt slavery, and he only regards, the anti-slavery movement as a proof of his own im? portance. In his limited horizon, he is himself the important object, 'and as a Bequenco to his self-eoneit, ho imagines the whole world is at issuo concerning the black man. Tho ne? gro, therefore, being the important question must be au important per? son, and he conducts himself accord? ingly-he is far too great a man to work. Upon this point his natural character exhibit? itself most, deter? minedly. Accordingly, ho resists any attempt at coercion ; beiug free, his first impulse is to claim an equali? ty with those whom he lately served, and to nsnrp a dignity with absurd pretensions, that must inevitably insure tho disgust of the white com? munity. Ill will is thus engendered, n hatred and jealousy established between tho two races, combined with the errors that in such condi? tion must arise upon both sides. The final question remains, why was the negro first introduced into our colonies-and to America? Tho sun is the great arbitrator be? tween the white and the black mau. There aro productions necessary to civilized countries, that can alone bo cultivated iu tropical climates, where the white man cannot live if exposed to labor in the sun. Thus, to such fertile countries as the West Indies and portions of America being with' out a native population, the negro was originally imported os a slave, to fulfil the conditions of a laborer. In his own country he was a wild savage, and enslaved his brother mon, he thus became a victim to his own system; to the institution of slavery that is indigenous to the soil of Africa, and that hos not been taught to the African by the white mau, as is currently reported, but that has ever' been the peculiar cha raoteristio of African tribes. In his state of slavery, the negro was compelled to work, and through his labor every country prospered where he had boen introduced. He was suddenly freed; and from that moment he refused to work, and in stead of being a useful member of society, he not only became a useless barden to the community, but a plotter and intriguer, imbued with deadly hatred to the white man who had generously declared him free. Now, as the negro was originally imported as a laborer, but now re fuses to labor, it is self-evident that he is a lamentable failure. Either he must be compelled to work, by some stringent law against vagrancy or those beautiful countries that prospered under the conditions of negro forced industry must yield to ruin, under negro freedom and idle independence. For an example of th 9 result, look at St. Domingo! Under peculiar guidance, and sub jeot to a certain restraint, the negro may bo au important and most useful beiug; but if treated as au English man, he will affect tho vices but none of the virtues of civilization, and his natural good qualities will be lost in his attempt to become a "white man DID TUE SOUTH SECEDE?-lt is significant fact, says the World, that of the ten Southern States now about to bo "admitted," Georgia w in the Uniou before Massachusetts South Carolina before New Hamp shire, Virginia before New Yor North Carolina before Bhode Island Lousiana before Indiana, Mississippi before Illinois, Alabama before Main Arkansas before Michigan, Florid before Iowa, nud Texus before W cousin. Wo give the dates of the admission: Georgia-January 2, 1788; South Carolina-May 23, 1788; Virginia Juno 20, 1788; North Carolina-N vember 21, 1789; Louisiana-April 1812 ; Mississippi-December 10 1817; Alabama-December 14, 1819, Arkansas-Juno 15, 1836; Florida March 3, 1845; Texas-December 29, 1845. When did they get out? Tho foreman of a job room of a St. Ii'mis newspaper turned out the whole edition of a pamphlet on the "Life and Assassination of Abraham Lincoln," with the startling captiou: "The Life and Assignations of Abra? ham Lincoln." The blunder is un? derstood to have cost him his place. A New York paper publishes an account of a funeral, under the head of "Out Door Sports." Agricultural. English farmers believe that "hill? ing np" potatoes reduces their yield one-fourth. They do not ripen as well. Soft soap suds will bo found valua? ble for gardens and yards of sandy soil-and almost any other, for all that. Suds from bar soap are of less value. Every farmer ought to know that cut nails, heated red hot and dropped into cold water, will clinch as well as wrought nails. Currants, to do their best, must be freely pruned and heavily mulched. Beans are a most nutritious food for man or beast. Formen and hogs they should be cooked, for sheep raw. Many women are beconaming bee? keepers and making money at it. They are not the kind, however, that squeal at the sight of spiders. Sheep kept with cows are not so apt to be killed by dogs as when alone. Tho cows light for them. Potatoes can be grown much earlier by sprouting them, iu a warm bed, before planting them. Place them on a layer of manure and cover them with sand. Transplant the middle of May. It is said that the last cup of milk drawn from the cow-"tho Strip? pings"-contains sixteen times as much cream os the . first cup. We will not vouch for the exact figures, but the true ones aro large. It is just as easy to raise a bushel of good apples as a bushel of poor ones. What is a dollar or two of extra preliminary expenses iu getting good trees. Tho Department of Agriculture says that 10,000,000 bushels of wheat are wasted in this country annually, by bad oowing-too deep, too shal? low, too thick, too thin, too uneven. Clean ont the cellars, "about this time," and give them a thorough air? ing. It is about as safe to live over a gun-powder magazine as the filth and poisonous ordors of some col? lars. But such stuff doesn't poison your land-use it there. The apple tree makes a good hedge, but the wilder and poorer the varie? ty, the thornier and better for that purpose. Solon Robinson says: "Food should never be given to fowls, unless they ore hungry enough to go crazy after it" Doubted. Hens will do first rate with corn lying by them all the time. John Johnson says that one load of manure as top-dressing, is worth two ploughed under on stiff land. London dairymen have decided that the most profitable oows are graded short horns. Not that thoy give more milk, but they mako thc most beef when post milking. Multitudes of farm accidents hap? pen because nuts on running gear are not looked after and kept tight. Five minutes attention each day, wrench in hand, is the remedy. Early hatched chickens make carly layers next winter. Whero bees forage on grazing lands, all tho honey they got is so much sweetness and nutriment taken from the pasturage. It is not certain that the loss is not a serious one to the dairy. NEW BOOKS.
