The better class among them especi- ally mechanics, do rise, aud break through every obstruction, considerable numbers of them being very well off and respectable. We were often kept awake until a late hour of the night by these sounds. We concluded if this was considered a fine place for invalids (except the delightful at- mosphere), they must have stronger nerves than ours for such endurance. Until we found this course of things was perpetual, we could but think every night there must be an u...prising. It was nothing unusual for us, when we sat down to our meals, to have a serious alarm before we got half through, either from the street or small 10 106 JOURNAL. houses near us. Not unfrequently has myself, or dear husband, left our meals to go and see what was the matter, to remonstrate against their con- duct, and pour oil on the troubled waters. Daily we walked the streets of Frederickstadt, endeav- oring to exert all our influence for the benefit of both whites and colored, holding meetings among them whenever we could procure a building, for the purpose of giving them counsel on morality and industry, and for which they seemed very grateful, saying they would work if they were paid for it; that twenty cents per day would satisfy all their demands, and they could live on that; which was confirmed by an agent on one of the plantations, as well as by many others.
