We are not prepared to say that civili zalion is wavs progressive. But if it occasion sdly nstrograues. it does so because cf some nev combination of circumstances, unknown in pas history, and does in manner anil form always different. The future of this countrv will be difTeren from anything shown in the teachings of history For instance, has been proved thac slave labor is the dearest of all kinds of labor, and that where it has existed, free white labor always commanded the highest prices. Slave labor, in producing the great staples ol a country, ha.s al- wars Deen directly in the way of the manufacturing interests oi that country.

Jt was cheaper to buy manufactured goods than to make them and frequently cheaper to buy provisions thun to raiss them. The staples commanding remunerative figures, caused slave labor to be ver) cVar End free labor dear in proportion. The declination slavery will necessarily lower the fi ice of labor and make the South aself-snppart- ins; country. In our TMenoration we i leel the change, for no change in fbf great socia political relations of a country can be suddenly without being seriously felt. Those that come after us will receive the benefit the changes, and, in all probability, i lind they are better off than their ancestors be- lore them.

One thing is apparent: The Soutl i no longer be dependent upon the North, as has been the case always in the past. The very necessity ol her case, as engemleret bv the war, will compel her to become self- and self sustaining. country will be very different from her past but. as history does not repeat itself, none of us car: j'letend to lift the veil and pry into the mysteries of the great unknown.

The sum advanced by the government here, in order to pay off. the crow and other debts, amounted to which "was less thnn at first estimated, owing to the refusal.of tho captain (T.

Ul S. fi 25'i THE NEW SYSTEM OF LABOR ix VIRGINIA The subjoined article is from, the Richmond.

Whig of the 10th ult. One of the results nf the change in the system of labor which is about to be carried into eftiict in Virginia, is the substitution of small farms for the large areas now so generally cultivated. A scheme looking to tho accomplishment, tlsjrongh Northern capitalists, of a result of this character has already been set ou foot and will probablv '-e for- wnrdcd in a quite a rapid manner. The suggestion ia based, in the first place, upon the belief that the scarcity of money woulr. alone induce many to dispose of a part, at least, cf their landed estates, there being no other resource left to a large number of farmers.

The rlifliculty of labor will doubtless also cause the reduction of the force employed, and. of necessity, at the same time, lessen the space to be put into cultivation. -Rnch a change of system, experience has proved will result in a marked of the aggregate products of husbandry in the State. The history of agriculture in other nations exhibits. what may be achcivod by careful.cultivatio where the possessor owns a limited number 01 acres.

In the Northern States ami in England ag- ricultnro has been carriacl to a very high state of perfection, notwithstanding tho heavy re- i(uirecl for the support of Government.

Our old merchants and factors are: proparing to resume.business, nit they will have to for tho wagon, 1 ud the wagon will hnve to wait for the crops 0 reach a market before profits'cau jo realized. Many who anticipate; au imme- liate return of former wilt be loomed- to disappointment. It will 'take the abor of years, and the patient waiting of many can't afford to wait, for the good timo coming, before we get fairlp on the top waves of irosperity. Uottou is talked of, and arrival of the steamboat. General Qnitman from Shrevoport was also talked bet, Instead of bringing iu a full of the staple--say 4000 were only IS" bales.

This limited quantity caused no effect in Cnrondclet street. We notice several of the "omier residents ou this street as having returned recently, factors and agents in general. Whether they intend to open offices again, resume business, or, rather, intend to recover some of their former influence and standing in tho commercial world wo do not learn. As the system und general mode of business have undergone groat changes, old modes and systems compelled to give way, to cou- lorm to the changed condition will rernnrc sonic wobation.as it were, to meet the present posture of our mercantile There has been so great; and general breaking up of. business that it is difficult for oar former factors and merchants generally, to'understand or realize tho existing state of planting and commercial avocations.

We therefore moot with very little of- interest commercially speaking, on the flags of Caron- de ct street and environs. Tho restrictions on cotton arc regarded as a preventive to free and enlarged trade with the interior. Tho modifications already conceded have had a good effect; but.too liberal anticipations, sncli as a market for. millions 01 merchandise, should not bo As gradual extension in general business, restricted iu amount, is all that can reasonably be expected for somo time. The country is impoverished--mcnhs nnci resources nearly annihilated.

Northern traders and citizens will do. well to.make themselves fuhy acquainted before sending large quantities of merchandise hither. Capital is required to develop the vast resources of our State, as well as real labor. Both will be required, and the sooner they the better. Hopes were entertained that intelligence direct from.
