[From tb« American Baptist) Inside Views of Slavery on Southern day; and once a day thereafter until weaned, at the end of twelve months. This species of slave stock is too valuable to be exposed to careless or unskillful management. The old nurse has her rules laid down, which she must rigidly observe. Care is taken that the mother does not nurse her infant while her blood is heated by toiling in the sun. When the dew is off an old female slave brings out all the chiMren over six years to gather cotton. In her hand is a bundle of switches, "to teach the young.idea how to shoot," though she stimulates them more with other appliances than with the rod ; such as the four of the overseer and black driver, and encouraging them to race with one another in ootton picking. These juvenile laborers are generally between the ages of six and ten j "all over ten go,out with the main gang. The dews are very heavy in the Mississippi valley. When nearly off, the slaves' breakfast comes out in a cart. It consists of a box of bread and meat, accompanied with a barrel of water. The black driver then calls to the slaves to bring their cotton to the baskets,' change their wet clothes and got their breakfast ) the prescribed allowance of which he deals out toeaohone, while they seat themselves on the ground to cut.

Office in the Court House, Wilkes- Barre, Ponna. 108 Murray, near Wrtl Street, GEO. W. BRAINERD,) NEW YORK. DAVID BELDEN | W hen the overseer reached the place for weighing, he called out to the black driver, who was following his gang, whip in hund, " Bring in the ootton." Instantly I saw the slaves hurrying up to their baskets, and emptying their sacks into them. Two or three wagons were on the turn-row, ready to receive the cotton when weighed. The black driver adjusted the scales, and then called out, " All ready, sir." Several slaves immediately jumped into the large wagon bed, made for carting cotton, to empty the baskets and tramp down the cotton. One slave with a lantern seated himself on the side of the wagon to examine the baskets as they were emptied, to see that there were no pumpkins, clodsorother substances secreted in them to increase their weight. Another, who had bean taught the numbers on the balancc, prepared to weigh, and another, who had learned the numbers on .the baskets, stood ready to announce the number of each basket as it was put on the scales. One set of hands stood ready to drag up the baskets and lift them on the scales, and another to lilt them off when weighed, and dump them into the large wagon bed. The overseer, with a large folding slate in his hund, which contained the name and number of each working slave, with a record of the amount of cotton gathered by each one for two or three previous days, is seated on a banket, where he can see the figures on the balance, and detect any attempt to deceive him in the weight. All things thus arranged, he crics out, " Weigh, in a little less than no time !" The slave who announces the number of the basket on the scales, cries out, "Fifty sir," and the one who takes account of tho weight, responds, " One hundred and seventy-five, sir." Tho overseer compares the number with the record of previous days, and orders the black driver who stood ready, with whip in hand, to give No. 50 lashes, " d—d well put on." "She ought to have had ovtr two hundred pounds such a day as this—a moist day, no wind, and better cotton to gather in than yesterday." He declares, in tones which send terror through all their hearts, and with oaths and epithets too vile to print, that he will flog every nigger who has not more cotton to-day than be had yesterday.

The above is a fair specimen of life on a cotton plantation, during the cotton picking season, which extends through a period of about four months. Other crops, sueh as corn, peas and pumpkins, are also to be gathered during a part of the same period. This is generally done in wet weather, when cotton could not be dried, if picked. Toward the close of the cotton picking season, when the weather becomes cold and wet, and the slaves need more blood-stirring cxercisc to protect them from such diseases as colds, rheumatism, and pneumonia, the men are set to making rails, clearing land, and ditching, and the females to clearing off the stalks from the corn and cotton fields.

You can't stir in the street for the fog, or else be in deadly peril of breaking your nose or your neighbor's. I mean figuratively speaking as well as in a literal sense.

FRESH G00D8 RIEGEL, BALED, & CO., When a slave is-sick, he applies to the overseer, who examines his pulse and his tongue, and if inflammatory symptoms appear, sends him to the sick house, to the care of an old slave, who gives him suoh mcdicine as the overseer prescribes. But if no visible symptoms of diseases can be deteoted, he turns a deaf ear to all his complaints, curses and sometimes flogs him for playing possum to deceive "him, and drives hiui out to his hard toil, weeping and groaning, perhaps witli real disease and suffering. Should he appeal to the black driver, as his resort, for pity and favor, his reply would probably be : " Do you link I is a fool, nigger, to let white folks cut up my hide ? No, sir-ee—dis nigger not goin' to be kotched in dat manner. If you not able to work, go to white folks, and if white folks send you buck to work, yo'i am got to work. Dut am dis nigger's business wi' dis whip. So dou't fool your time gruntin' to dis nigger, I tell you— 'cause if you does, you is goin' to grunt more 'an dat, firs' ting you know." Now, suppose this to be a case of real, and not feigned sickncss and suffering, and there are multitude" of just such cases, who is responsible for this atrocious cruelty 7— Not the poor black driver, surely ; he is impelled by inexorablo necessity. Is it the "overseer? Should he adopt a different course, his occupation would be gone : his work would never be done; every slave who could get rid of work by feigning sickness would be sure to do it. No; it is the system which is the legitimate source of all this cruelty ; a system which has been biasphemously lauded as the offspring of God, and indicative of the highest type of civilisation ! Voluntary labor, stimulated by hope or desire, has no occasion to feign sickness. The question of ability to work may be safely left to the laborer himself. But the victim of coerced labor cannot be trusted thus; his driver must decide the question for him, and he is very liable to decide it cruelly, though unintentionally. But in charging this cruelty upon the system, which is a mere abstraction, we charge it, by implication, upon all who sustain the system, either directly 01 by connivanoe. DR. J. A.

One ib talked of, the other is acted upon. When they get tired of one they try the other. When ths tongue begins to lag the feet fly. In fact skating is a perfcct safety-valve for heated politicians, who stand on the corners of the streets and expatiate largely on the signs of the times with unerring diligence and pjtince. Every one skates ; big men, little men ; big women, little women ; big boys, little boy&; and big girls and little girls. Take yonr stand for about an hour on one of those seas of glass, where there are thousands fly ing to and fro, and a finer-panorama or a more varied sccnc will never meet your eye. In fact their is no exercise that so well exhibits the graceful motions of the body, not to speak of a pretty foot and ankle, as this. There they como, one after another, red, white and blue, mingling, flirting, whirling, swinging, twisting, turning, jumping, buzzing, flying; making the pure, cold ice a perfect flower garden.— There are bright eyes, ruby lips and red noses. There are staid papas and mamas, looking with pardonable pride on some graceful little nymph or roguish urchin.— There are " old maids " ; what! old maids? to be sure there are, really condescending to thaw out for a brief space their faded charms.

Thcro was an Eagle who had a nest in which there were many eggs, and the eggs were of a number no man has counted ; and some of the eegs were white and some were parti colored ; and some were smaller, but all were large. And from the eggs the old Eagle, with a grateful beak, perceived the young Eagles coming. And at first she found thirteen in her nest; and she fluttered with joy and prido, and looked at ftcr god, the sun, and lilted her wirtgsover them with a mother's confidence ; and the young Eagles were happy in the nest—and the mornings were precious and the evenings were golden. Then slowly from the eggs came forth the Eagles, one by one, two by two, as day by day passed; and the nest contained them all, and the Mother-Eagle's wings overspread them. But, after many days, the young Eagles, finding that they had beaks, began to peck at each other and quarrel in the nest. And the Mother-Eagie was pained beyond expression, and she whispered, "My ehildren, this is not well for you; be noble, for you are eagles; and, see you, the hawk and the buzzard and even the mocking-bird will be looking at you." But as the nest grew fuller, and the Mother-Eagle spread her wings lovingly wider, the young Eagles grew more quarrelsome and more noisy, and a few of them in one corner, where the parti-colored eggs had been lying, threatened to leave the nest.

If any one refused, or did not keep her clothes out of the way of the lash, two or three women were ordered to put her in the vice, when one instantly planted her knees on the ground, seourea the victim's head between them, drew her clothes up so as to confine her arms, and lay bare her back for the driver's lash, while two others stretched out her feet and held them, ground. Now I'm no skater. Never learnod when I was*a girl. But I take pleasure in seeing others, and in going here and there to observe how this mimic world is conducted. Among the different groups collected I find that politics are discussed as vehemently as ever, and even more so. For instance, there stands Mr. M., laying down the law of " breed or blood," ill a very befogging way. Now, of course, lie is deeply interested ; that large manufactory of his cannot ttop, it would be ruinous. His in- is great, no doubt, but it takes a great many big words to tell it. In the meantime down oomes little Bobby White's sled. "Take care" is shouted—the warning comes too late, and Mr. M. finds himself and arguments completely floored, as school boys have it. I catch Bobby by the arm, "out the " lurking devil" is too prominent to be mistaken, and ask, "Why did-you run against Mr. M. ? you might have injured him badly." Bobby looks up with a sang froid that is irresistible and sings out as he bounds away, " I couldn't help it no way, ma'am—I goes for Uncle Abe." I have an inkling of the truth that southern interest ia not rory great on the sido of the lake where Bobby started, by a loud hurrah and side splitting laugh, sent up by a group who had witnessed the collision with evident delight. I find also a little gossip flying arouud, and it comes I think suspiciously from a group of sweet bright-looking girls, who are standing together with all the graceful alandonot girlhood. Some are poising themselves on shining skates, othera are leaning caressingly on the next friend beaide them. " Would you believe it ? Lizzie G-. thinks Harry L. the very beat skater on the lake, and she told me that he said she bad the prettiest foot he ever strapped a skate upon." " Dear me," cries out a pair of ruby lips, "why he said the very same to m*, Anna." " And to me "—" And me "—choruses out a dozen merry voices. Ah! Harry, you are in trouble, take care. " I'll tell you what we'll do girla} let's make Harry oarry our And the sad old Mother-Eagle lovingly drew her wings closer. And still the young Eagles quarreled and clamorcd, and the hawks and buzzards and mocking-birds looked at them, and the crows, in their parliamentary catc-caw», made remarks concerning them. And the Mother-Eagle was sad, and the pride of her sun-eye was downcast.
