From the article entitled "An Ex-Southerner
in South Carolina," by N. S. Shaler,
we take the following hints with regard to the
condition and prospects of 'the negroes in
that State:
If one would form a good idea of the con
dition of the black population in the South,
he should not limit his observations to the
cities. Although he will there find Rome of
the gravest defects of the negroes, he sees
them at the eame time where they are shaped
by the white population. He should go to
the Sea Islands and study the negroes, where
they are the least under the influence of the
whites. 1'he , Sea Island belt is on many
accounts the moBt curious part of the South.
At the bottom of the Great Bay of the Caroli
nas if we may give a name to the nameless
bend of the shore which stretches into
the land between Cape Hatteras and
Florida the i tides, which have only a
foot or two of height on these points, have a
rise of about eight feet. This tide acting
upon the low Bhore, as it lifted itself above
the sea, cut it into the most complicated sys
tem of islands and bays which can be found
anywhere on our coast, not excepting the Jiord
region of Maine or Labrador, which it some
what resembles. Before the war the region
was the seat of the most profitable agricultu
ral industry of the South the Sea Island cot
ton culture. This variety of cotton re
quires for its growth an annual manuring
of mud from the salt marshes, so that
its cultivation is not possible except where all
parts of the land can be readily supplied with
that material. Before the war nearly every
available acre of land here was employed in
the cotton culture, and probably at least
seventy-five thousand negroes were engaged
in it. During the war the few native wuites
who belonged on the plantations were driven
away by our armies, the plantation system
quite broken up, and the lands confiscated
by the Government. The large na
tive population of negroes was rein
forced by all the runaways who could
find their way into our lines. This whole
body of negroes was, during the occupation
of our troops, under an industrious training
in all the vices of the camp, diversified, it is
true, by a certain amount of ineffectual
school teaching. A noble piece of Quixotism
sought to counterbalance the evil of the army
by the school, and gave to every commander a
vexatious body of camp-followers composed of
teachers and preachers, who felt quite ready
to build a new civilization on the ruins of that
his army marched over; but it has left ui irks
of its work little more permanent than the
army itself. One sees now and then a school
house which seems to have withstood the
elements, moral and material, warring against
it. From cne, I hoard the drowsy hum which
is apt to call up a variety of unpleasant re
collections to every adult mind, and a cert tin
difference of pitch in that wof ul inarticulate
sound which comes from imprisoned youth
struggling on the educational rack, told me
that the school was full of negro children. I
ought to have gone in and examined the
social phenomenon, but one becomes
strangely self-indulgent in this dreamy air,
which seems always to wrap the Sea Islands,
and I could not at that moment have loft the
suHbhine to see the innermost workings of
the most wonderful social machine. One
finds now and then a negro who can real a
little enough to get an idea of a few chap
ters in his Testament, or the stanzas of some
song-book with which to spoil his wild native
airs; more frequently you encounter some
correct figure, who gives you a military
answer to a question, revealing at once than
when the boy was growing to be a man he
carried a musket long enough to acquire the
spirit of the soldier. But school and army
are fading away. There is a Bteady out
flow of the white population of these
islands, and their places are supplied ten
times over by the blacks of the up country,
who come down to the shore with the
certainty that the sea will yield them a
subsistence of "raocoon" oysters, aud
with a vague hope that they may find there
the Government officer who is to give them
the "mule and forty acres of laud" which
have bewrayed the negro's steps ever Bince
the proclamation.
The intensity of the Africaniziug influences
at work here can only be eonceived by those
who know how strong the race characteristics
of the negro really are. Observations mad
upon the negro where he forms only an in ;on
siderable element of the population are not
calculated to show the features one finds here.
It must be remembered that a large p ut of
these blacks are sons or grandsons of slaves
from the Guinea coast. I was informed that a
number of the negroes brought over by th
famous schooner Wanderer are still
among the Sea Islands, so that this people is
more closely linked in blood with the ancieut
and unalterable peoples of Africa than are
the whites of the same region with their Eu
ropean stock. In this multitude, heir to the
ignorance and superstitions of that original
chaos of humanity, Afrioa, there are only
few hundred whites, and these are raost'y
congregated abont a few small trading towns.
Some ef the islands, with several thousand
negroes upon them, are deserted by all the
whites, except, may be, the storekeeper, who
exchanges his wares for the products of the
half-acre patches of cotton cultivated by the
more industrious blacks, or the devote i
Northern woman who toils her life away un
der the delusion that she can fight all Africa
with a spelling-book and multiplication-table.
Until one has had the good fortune to see
bow thoroughly exotic the negro is, one can
not appreciate the difficulties of making him
a part of the social system which fits us. The
negro is not easily read; he hides himself, as
is the habit of all oppressed rwa, q.iit
adroitly sometimes. Under his covering of
imitated manners or stolidity slumber tha
pebsions of a mental organization wid.-ly
differing from oar own. There are somi
superb qualities in him, and some wl.io i
safcke Lis best friends almost despair. The
liruiebt bases for Lope we have lie in his
strong imitative faculties.
The all-important question is, what should
we o to seenre to this people tho highest,
cultivation of which they are capable? Should
we begin by trying to force upon them the
last fcroducti of our civilization intellectual
culture or should we first try and create in
them the conditions of this intellectual cul
ture? It needs no argument to convince an
average mind that you opnld not effect any
great" alteration in a Comanche by teaching
him English grammar. He would be a fool,
indeed, who expected that the consequences
would be the immediate chango in th nature
and burposos of the Indian. Now the fact is,
we have almost as much to do iu order to
change the average negro into an intelligent
citiztn in a white society as we should have if
we tfied to embody the Indian into our Gov
ernment; and we have begun by teaching
him English grammar. The school, has its
place in civilization, and, as a teacher, I
should be the last to belittle its importance;
but it is tho last step in the development of a
race, not the firRt, and its value consists in
tbe fact that it is tho final result of the edu
cation of a thousand years of effort; and
when we undertake to civilize a race as
foreign to us in every trait as the negroes, by
imposing upon them this final product of our
national growth, we wrong ourselves and
them. Those who are clamoring for imme
diate high-school education for the negro will
be the first to condemn him, when it is seen
that this will not give him what he needs.
And unless he is trained in thrift, unless
he is freed from the instincts which
the savage life of a hundred generation
have planted in his blood, this education can
do nothing for him. The training which is
to shape tho sensuous, enthusiastic, fickle
negro into a useful citizen must be the train
ing which a society alone can give. This
schooling must come from the combined ex
ample of his neighbors of the higher race
men and women sturdily working out their
careers, starting from the same level of for
tune as he does; give him the influence of
this example, and you give him a chance
which he has not at present, which he cannot
have until those who have taken his destiny
into their hands get some idea of the magni
tude of their task.
To give the negro this chance two things
need be done. First, every effort must be
made to bring the best influence of the exist
ing white population . to bear upon him, by
removing all barriers of hate which the revo
lution may have left, and starting that popu
lation at once on the road to prosperity. But
this population is too small for its work, aud
is also in itself in need of teaching in its new
condition, so that it is necessary to seek in
the immigration of an industrious foreign
population tbe teachers needed for the work.
Every Geiman family would be to the negro
a school worth more to him, at the present
stage of his career, than all the universities
in the world. I saw at Beaufort a German of
that admirable class well trained in both head
and hands, who intended trying to found a
colony on one of.the islands. God grant him
success ! His hard-working countrymen may
do for this black people what the Incas did
for the old Peruvians.
Every move of the Government has been
clearly against the negro in this district.
Confiscating the property of the whites, it
cut him off from what would have been, on
the whole, the good influence of his for
mer masters. The whites who supplied their
places were, perhaps, the worst specimens
which could have been sent among the ne
groes. The property of the whites, taken
under the law for the direct tax of 18(51, has
been absurdly held by the Government, the
negroes remaining upon it as tenants at will.
They pay a tax equal to about fifty per cent
on the cash value of much of the land, and
have no certain future. In place of soma
practical teachings in the arts of life, the
Government has endeavored to civilize
them with the alphabet. Besides this, the
constant tutelage has fixed in the negro the
belief that if he will just sit still and open
his mouth, Uncle Samuel will see that he is
fed.
Experience, which would act in spite of the
Government, has taught the negroes some
thing, so that they seem to be slowly gaining
in some things. A gentleman of excellent
judgment tells me that they are more honest
than they were juBt after emacipation. But
there can be no real future until the North
learns that they cannot exorcise all the evils
here with that idol of our modern civiliza
tion, a primary school; until they learn that
the negro, if he is to be lifted up to the level
of ourselves, must be raised by strong hands
and active brains, by helpers who, not seek
ing to ease the hard road he has to travel,
toil with him, and give the real aid of ex
ample.
The July number of The Riverside Maga
zine opens with one of nans Christian Ander
sen's pleasant stories, which is followed by an
interesting variety of reading matter in prose
and verse that will be appreciated by the
young people. The magazine is handsomely
illustrated and the number is altogether above
the average.
The Nursery commences a new volume
with its July number, which the little folks
will find as usual full of pictures, interesting
stories and rhymes such as children love to
listen to aud learn.
The June number of the American Ex.
change aiul ltetieie has an excellent series of
practical, scientific, literary, commercial, and
industrial articles, covering a great variety of
subjects.
'Ihe Journal of the Franklin Institute for
Jnne treats of new inventions, new discove
ries and scientific investigations and other
matters of interest and importance.
Two Iislliig;ulhlie4l to1motliertf.
Queen Victoria has lately paid a very unu
sual honor to a little subjeot of hers by, iu
person, standing sponsor to him. The infant
tLus distinguished is tbe Earl of Burford, a
direct descendant of Nell Gwynne, being the
eldest son of the Duke of St. Albans by the
daughter of the Queen's late valued friend
and Secretary, General Grey. The boy was
born under very melancholy circumstances,
for his grandmother lay dying in an adjoin
ing room. The other godmother is a lady as
popular, and almost as well known,
as the Queen Miss Burdett Coutts;
and it may be added, one
whose sponsorship is likely to have
a more solid result. The wife of the prede
cessor and near relative of the Duke of St.
Albans was the celebrated Harriet Mellon,
one of the few actresses who have gained
great matrimonial prizes in the lottery of
their profession, ana whose fortunate fate has
led to a thousand failures ou the part of luck
less aspirants. Miss Mellon was born in
1777. Her mother was an Irishwoman, her
father a ni)6tery. In 1K15 she married Mr.
Coutts, the famous London banker, and this
gentleman dying soon afterwards bequeathed
to her his interest in the bank, and nearly the
whole of the rest of his enormous fortune,
absolutely. In she married the Duke of
fct. Albans.
Mrs. Coutts Lad not a relative in the world,
end at her death it was found that she had
left her fortune agreeably, it was. supposed,
to tho privately expressed wishes of her first
husband to his grand-daughter, the child of
the jcelebrated Sir Francis Harriett. The
ldy' wenlth was then computed at nine mil
lions of dollars gold, equal to 13 tons, 7 cwt.
3 qra. llbs.; it is much more, and it must
be owned, could not have fallen into better
hands. The Duchess, by a life annuity, am
ply provided for ber ducal husband, but it
would seem she had been greviouBly offended
by some of his relatives, and the codicil to
her will contained a remarkable claxise to the
effect that all tho Duke's interest! in the pro
perty was to cease if ho permitted various speci
fied members of his family to reside with him
for the space of one week, either at one time
or at several distinct times in any one year.
Tbe present Duke is a poor man for his posi
tion, and it is not unlikely that ho cherishes
a hope that his little heir's wealthy godmother
will prove mindful of the former family con
nection. . ,
The Duchess, who was Miss Mellon, was a
remarkable woman, and the present occasion
will revive an interest in a now almost for
gotten celebrity. Although in later life the
wealthiest woman in the world, her early days
were paFsed in penury, and, at times, almost
want. Her elevation to wealth and rank had
no hardening efl'ect upon her. She was always
mindful of those who had befriended her in
less fortunate days, and eager to do chari
ties and kindnesses. The following pas
sages in ''Lockhart's "Life of Scott,' refer
ring to her, will probably even now be read
with interest:
Tbe much talked-of lady who began life as
Miss Mellon, and died Duchess of St. Albans,
was then making a tour in Scotland as Mrs.
Coutts. No person of consequence could, in
these days, have thought a Scotch progress
complete unless it included a reception at
Abbotsford; and Mrs. Coutts had been pre
viously acquainted with Sir Walter. Although
she was considerate enough not to come on
with all her retinue leaving four of the
seven carriages with which she travelled
to Edinburgh the appearance of only three
coaches, each drawn by four horses, was
rather trying to poor Lady Scott; they contained
Mrs. Coutts, her future lord, the Duke of St.
Albans, one of his sisters, a d'ime decompagnie
vulgarly called a "toady," a brace of physi
cians for it had been considered that the
doctor might himself be disabled in the course
of an expedition so adventurous; and besides
other menials of every grade, two bedcham
ber women for Mrs. Coutts own person, Bhe
requiring to have this article also in dupli
cate, because in her widowed condition she
was fearful of ghosts; and there mut be one
Abigail for the services of the toilet, a second
to keep watch by night. Lockhart proceeds
to tell that it happened that there were
already in the house several ladies of high
birth who were disposed to hold "Mrs.
Million," as Disraeli calls her in "Vivian
Grey," rather cheap.
Now, SirWalter Scott, besides being a thor
ough gentleman, with a high sense of hospi
tality which made him most anxious for the
comfort of every guest beneath his roof,
entertained a genuino respect for Mrs. Coutts,
and knew full well that under her foibles lay
a large fund of genuine kindness and excel
lence. He therefore seized an opportunity,
as soon as he got into the drawing-room after
dinner on the first day of the visit, to take
aside a lovely young marchioness and frankly
tell his apprehensions lest his wealthy guest's
visit to Abbotsford would not prove as plea
sant as he and Lady Scott could wish. He
pointed out that he could not conceal his con
tempt for those fine ladies who would go and
eat Mrs. Coutts' dinners and disport them
selves at her sylondid dejeuners at Highgate,
and then laugh at her, and give her the cold
shoulder when they met her elsewhere, and
ended by begging his fair friend to help him
in the difficulty. She replied: "Sir Walter,
you have spoken to me as you would to your
own daughter, and I thank you most sincerely
for the honor you have done me." Presently
tbe Marchioness was seen deep in conversa
tion with the great bankeress; in a little while
the other fine folk followed suit; the sequel
was that the visit passed off most agreeably,
and Mrs. Coutts left delighted with every
body and everything. Indeed, it must be
said that she was not one of those whom it
was ever hard to please, enjoying as she did
unfailing health and spirits, which even the
most untoward circumstances could but mo
mentarily cloud.
