There is no doubt too little oare on the part o{ many planters, as to the peculiar condition and mode of hiring of the ne groes generally. In conversation with an old plantin’ of this county tho other day, we were cited tu an instance where a plan, ter hired a dtraily ol negroes-in which there were nine, who, from various causes, did not draw rations, from the employer of the fami'y. These supernumerary negroes, be they old or young, can’t live without eat ing ; and the question arise?, where do they procure a living ? The mysterious disappearance of oattlo, sheep, bogs, &c , fr m the farms of the employers and their neighbors, doubtless answers tho ques tion. x It is a mist sib n idea, and a dangerous one te prevail, that any political legislation or Congressional regulations will form the character oftlien groc-s in their new 'State, and fit them for dwelling hi our midst, as useful members of society. This work is ! naturally in our own hauls, mid nn'ess it •is naeomplishcd by ns—pcoplo of tiro South ' ; —it is a work that will uovor be accom plished. It is dangerous to fold our arms and wait on Congress ; while tho negro is running wild—becoming useless to us, and promiq'ng to become an unbearable nuis. acice. Let cur people appreciate the pres ent c uditioo of their former slaves, train them up to anew syst m that will matte them useful still, in the dcvelopemont of our count-y—and cot only lor thiß, but for their own good. While it is policy to enlighten, and educate them to some ex tent, yet labor is their sphere, and out of this sphere they will become worse than useless to any community. For our own, and for the negroo’n good, lot every farmer or planter see to it that uo negro .enmins oa his land, who does not draw rations, and labor for them—or at lea-t whose moans of procuring the nee eesaiies of life are unknown.

A waist that could bo spanned in an English uietap’ orjeal expression, used in a novel; but it is au American fact, and 60 alartniog does it appear to an Englishman, that my first sentiment oa viewing the phenomenon was one ts pity for the unfortunate being who might possibly break off iu the middle, like flowers from the stalk, befoxe tho eve ning. Not less extraordinary is the site of the ladies' arms. 1 saw many that were scarcely larger than a common sized walk ing caiu. Yet strange to say, when these lauies pass the age of forty, thoy fre quently attain an enormous size. The whole enemy ts their s'rueturc is then re vorsed, their waists and arms become the I thickest parts if their body. licic is a subject worthy of the contom | plation of the ethnologist. How comes it ito pass that the English type—which I presume has not in every ease been so cffec *ed by the mixture of others as to loose its [ identity—how comes it to pass I say, that | the English type is so strangely altered in a few generations ? I have heard various hypotheses, among others—the habits of the people, the dry cl.mate. The cftect of the latter on the European constitution would have appeared to bo sufficient to account for the singular conformation, if I had not been persuaded by natives of the couetry that the small waists is mainly ow ing to light lacing. This practice it is said, is peisevcredin, to an alarming extent; and if report be true, it is to bo toared that tho effects will bo felt by a future generation to a greater degree (bun they are at present.

In 185-—, I was in Dresden, I had be come warn rutin hca'lh and my physicians recomm tided that I slwulj travel. 1 had been in the city Imt a f«w davs and not knowing es a single soul with whom I wus tieqimin'cil Feeling ennui \ determined to take a stroll, and had hardly loft my lodgings, wh'-n I saw n llns-ar officer ap pr<ta.thing me, whose face and form sc. tn - <d fanklliur I immediately recognized him as my friend Huron Wolfgang Von Flu - idling with whom I had been at the l niversify <>l llenlelborgeomo years previ ously. Ho was a man of remarkably strong mind, very un German in bis ideas and no tions, of plain practical common sense, not at nil given to speculative philosophy, very wealthy and remarkably fond of tiro good tilings of (his life. “Ah, Fred, my good friend,” sai 1 he, R' a# f mg my hand, ‘where did you come Itotn and low long have you been hero?” W ell, \V ollgang, 1 have but lately arriv ed and nm trying ta kill time and regain my health.” ‘•You must coma ami stay with me. that is, if you are not afraid of ghosts, but I think I have exercised them now ; however, I will introduce you to the officers of mv regiment, for I utn stationed hero now'; they are a jolly sot of fellows and I can guarantee, as you Americans say, “a good tnuu’’ to you Hut come, sit and .wn, for you luok tired, and wo will drink some b:er and talk over old t rues.” Well, but, Wolfgang, how long have'you been h re? I expected ti have heard of you on your estate, quietly married and j hunting wild tours.’’ “Lite devil—no soon after I left tho TJni vemity I entered the service in this regi- 1 nient of Ilussars, in which I am now, and I have been knocking about pyirm to en~ ! joy ntysolf ever since.” “By the way, I have had qu’to an ad venture since 1 havo boon here.” ‘About a woman ?” inquired I “Well, yes, and not exactly yes, o ther, about and with a ghost.” . • , ‘ You are joking ?’’ ‘Not a bit; you recollect how I used to make sport of my brother at the universi ty about his mutu) hysros, ani his belief iu the spirit world, ami oil that infernal non tease Y<‘ll know 1 never hail anv stiper sti ion ahout me. Well, I hud gone off to 1 see my mother a few weeks previous to rn? regiment lieing ordered here, and whea I came here, a week since, I found nil the availtblo quirtors, takeu by my brother officers it was necessary that I should bo in the vicinity of my troops, and I was bewailing igy situati n in presence of same of my mess when young Count Von B re marked : “Herr Huron, if you are not afraid of gh s’*, thero is an elegant sot of qua iters near here, the whole df which you can havo rent free as long as you de- Mr v, provided only that (ou will live in them. I thought of taki g them myself, lint my servant is dren ifu ly afraid of spirits, and to t II tho troth I would rather eerne in contact with a tangible object lliuu a ghost at any time-” “ Well, Van S , if y m will tell in where they are, I will take them, that is if tiro rats have not to» full a sway there.” “ I w ill willingly accompany you,” said ho -AVc Walked, bul a short disianco when wo came to a long house, tiro lower part of which was occupied by a shop kept by the propria or of the house—there wan a balcony tiro w hole leng’h ol the sfory above, and ad or opening Hpon a stairway which led to tho second story- -I spoke to the shop keeper and told him my busi ness ; ho informed mo that tho premises wera entirely at my dis|x>sul as long as I • should eboo cti rointiiu but warned mo that for some years past lro laid had many lodgers, but that not one of them ever re mained more than ono night. I asked him tiro nature of the ghost; ho would give mo no information, Imt said, ‘4l err Barou, if your experience eoinci so--, with mine, and that of tho pers in who' havo slept in the house, 1 will toll, you all when you next see me.” Well, I Imd my baggage brought down —I examined thepreim-etwn nutely—there wore live rooms opening ~no into another, and a door t) each one upon the baiuonv ; there was a s'airway near the first room, which descended into tho collar which win perfectly empty, anil qu ti damp, being satisfied that tnero was no place for a hu man being to conceal himself, and not be ing able to discover any trap-doors, I felt satisfied that no trick could be played tip on me. In the evening, as my servant Friz was rather serious, I told him I could dispense with his services for the night, and foitify- I ing myiclf with some good cognac, and load- 1 ing my pistol, I determined to await the i— ' sue of events. I had previou-ly Itxked and baried the outer do Tsand alsithe one lead ing to the cellar, and each consecutive door until I catao to that of my owa room which was the last one on the balcony', it I al.-o bi lted and locked. I placed my p : stols on the table, drauk a ghss of brandy and light, ed my meorshaum, aDd proceeded to enjoy myself. I kept up that course of treatment until 12 o’u’oik, when no ghost appearing at that witching 1 our, when ghosts are said to travel, I concluded that I would get into bed aud read awhile. I r ad until nearly two o’clock, and was abont to extinguish the lights to go to sleep, when I heard foats'eps on tho stairway lead- j ing from the cellar. I had scrutinized that I apartmeut most carefully, and was oertain | that no odo could have beon there; tho I door opened and closed with a 'oud bang, I the next opened and I heard tho footfalls din- j tinctly—they wero those of a woman—di rectly my own room door opened of its own j accord, and a female entered. Bhe was ap- , parent ly about eighteen years of age, with | fair hair, deep biuo eyes, and the sadest ex- 1 preesion that I ever saw on any countenance; her hair Was dishevelled, and hung about | her fair white shoulders like sun light upon ‘ SOuW. Bbe paid not tl o slightest a*,cation to me,! but went to the wall near my bod side, and leaning her bo ad upon her arm, cuuuucuceri groaning, at the tufiuc time with her rli'ht Innd rubbing a spot upon the wall. I mark ed tho spot accurately and then spoke to liar, but sho gavo mo no answer. 1 jumped Oil of bed aud at'empted to grasp her by the arm, but I caught hold of the the thin ai,in l she turned and for a moment look ed at uie All, Fred.suoh a look of sad ro proaeh !
