'Their origin is unknown. They resem 1 ble in appearance the gypsies, but in i complexion they are red. They have accumulated considerable property and are Industrious and peaceable. They live in small settlements at the foot of the mountains, and associate with none bat their own race." They are a proud, high-spirited people. Caste is very strong among them. They enjoy life, visit the watering places and moun tain resorts, but eat by themselves aod keep by themselves. When the war broke out several of them enlisted in the i Hampton Legion, and when the Legion : reached Virginia there was a great out cry among the Virginians and the troops from, other States because we had enlisted negroes. They did not re sem the African in the least, except in cases where Africans had amalgamated with Indians. This intermixture, whica is common in the Carolinas, pro duces marvellous results It takes the kink oat of the hair of the African, straightens bis features, and improves him in every way except in temper, j These A fro-Iodo people are devils when aroused, and as slaves were hard to manage.
