1 i THE QUESTION OF RACES IN THE SOUTH. ' 1 Another letter from the lion. John Bell, ofTrnataacc. The Louisville Journal publishes another in ' tcrcsttng letter from the venerable John Bell, of Tennessee, devoted to the consideration ot the future relations between the biack and white races In the f-'oul.h. He pays that ibr some time to come, with the destitute whites as well as the blacks, the great need, the most urgent want, the wailing- cry must, indeed will be, "Bread 1 bread 1 bread 1" He holds that the institution of slavery In the South was far from being an unmitigated evil; that It fcicatly improved the black race, and was preparing the way lor their peaceable, hnppy en franchisement, in accordance with natural luws, when the civil war waa precipitated by Northern fanaticism. Ho admits that there wero traces of hardship and scandal, but contends that, the general tendency was ameliorative. As an evi dence of this, he contracts the condition of the slave in the time of his boyhood with their im proved status at the commencement of the war. Ho states that the blacks were quiet and appa rently contented during the civil war, until Pre sident Iincoln's Emancipation Proclamation appeared. He thus describes the result: After the Government of the United States adopted the policy of mancipation and ot recruiting thoir armios lrom ttio frecdinon, it soon appeared that the presence or the approach ot the Federal army was the signal of a discernible sensation among the slaves, and that as soon as it was known that pro tection would be extended to them in the Federal lines, it was a neater temptation than many of them eould resist, and many-ot them, male and fenialo, loft thoir homos and jolnod their liberators, some openly, but In my observation, thov gonerally lelt quiotlv and in the night, aoparentfy not wish ing, to hurt the toolings ot their mostors and mis trossos. In the rapid march of Goneral 'Wilson through Alabama and part ot Geortria, two divisions of his army, one directly from Columbus and tho other from Wont Point, passed by the place whoro I re sided, mail in (f a short stop, Colonel Lagrange, com manding one divis en, and General McCook the other. From convocation with them, or with some Of their smff, I learned that while thoy felt obliged to protect the slaves thai, joined them on this march, they lelt that ther were an incumbrance to them, as they moved without any bagpage train. There wero a considerable number ol negro men in tho army, mounted on horsoa and mules gathered right and left as they passed thioush the country. 1 here were also many womon so intoxicated with the idea of freedom that they were content, jaded and worn as they were, to drar themselves along on foot in the rtar of the army, with not a few children straggling aiter them a piteous spectacle. I con jectured that they would sink by the way, and that jew ol them would ever reach Macon, trom which they were about two days' march. A few weeks alterwaros many of the negro moo camo trudging back, declaring their intention to return to thoir masters, apparently satisfied with the experiment thov had made of freedom. These were such as 1 supposed had no fancy for the military service, or perhaps they were such as the officers refused to re ceive into the Fedoral sonrice, but the women and children I saw or heard no more of. Mr. Bell intimates that the blacks made as much, if not more, progress in slavery, than the peoples of Europe without it. He says: It may be objected that the great' experiments which 1 represent as offering the beat practicable test of the equality of the raocs that ever could bo presented to the world, if stall going on, could a (lord no fair test of the rulativo capacity of the races, be cause it is said tho time and employment of the Atrican race were by our system of slavery wholly under the control of their masters; and it maybe Inquired vi'h great pertinency what attribute of fairness can be predicated of any trial of the capa bilities of the African nndor such circumstances. t The only rational answer that can be made to such an inquiry, is that in no other way, under no different or otiier circumstances, could an experi ment be made upon a large and satisfactory scale, of the capacity of a race ot people commencing wita them in a state of barbarism. The civilization which masses of men acquire, taken from their primitive barbarism, with no other wants or dosiros than such as are common with the beasts of their native forest, and no higher grade ol reason than the instincts wild boasts manliest, is ' not the work of a single or even of many generations. lo have attained the present stage of civilization by the most enlightened people of Europe, of the Caucasian raee, baa been the work of ages of nine centuries, taking the eia ol the Norman conquest as the commencement ot modern civilization, having ail the aovantages of what remained of the Roman civilization to start with ; and still, all the boasted improvements of tho nineteenth century cannot save a large proportion ot them from becoming the dupos and olten the victims of tho wildest and most prepos terous delusions and superstitions oonrected with subjects that directly concern their own interests and welfare. It was only in tho century bofore the last, or during the seventeenth century, tnat the mot oivil iecd people of all Europe could boast that they had freed themelves, if indeed they have entirolv done so to this day, from the degrading delusion or super stition belief m witchcraft, next to idol worship a badge ot the lowest grade of intelligence and the grossest ignorance. The application of the above views I propose to make to the present state of the country in another letter in a few days. ftcepeotiully yours, etc, Johj Bell. Literary Intelligence. MM.

The performance of the evening was inaugurated by the American fnll eame ot two hundred points up, Melvln Foster being matched against Michael Geary.

The score was Cahill 60, average 2 6; Iteherts 41. average 119. The evening's entertainment was brought to a close by an English game of 500 points between Roberts and Dud ley Kavanagh.

An interesting article on Bam Houston in the April n umber of llarpefi Magazine thus speaks of bis death: "But if Houston's days were ended while ad versity impended over his country and his house, ho was not without hope in the great future. He died, as he had lived a number of years, a Calvinistlc Baptist, in full laith and fel lowship with his church. His last days were given to prayer for his distressed family and country, and in spiritual preparation, 'while yet on the narrow strip of land which separates man from eternity.' These were his own words. In the absence of a minister o his own denomi nation, for several weeks before his dissolution he had the consolation of a Presbyterian divine, with whom he had lately reconciled previous differences. In the same manner he forirave all his enemies, and he died as none but a Christian can cue. "He left a widow and seven children, no one of whom had attained years of malority. He had owned a few slaves. He no longer looked to them as a dependence after the tirst gun was fired. His luads are not available to his family. So that Houston died as Benton said a public man ought to die poor. He had married late. His widow is a sterling woman, who had greatly influenced and improved his later years. In his darkest bours Fbo had Doenms best adviser." DENTISTRY. ISAIAH PRICE.
