The result is Nothing was done, and the arch-traitor now in Fortress Monroe, despite the report of, Mr. Stephens who thought "the open for settlement" rejected the propositions with con-; and in communicating the result to the people; of the south he prefaced the report with inflammatory and false statements written by himself.

wmmw trujuiuui it I I 7 I I 1 I low everything of statesmanship and wisdom cen tres in themselyes. This class-r-the agitators, who'are never still aye- very zealous in their efforts to solve for us the great problem of. southern labor. Slavery is abolished, and now they borrow an immense deal of trouble lest we should be left with no sj stem 'of labor in its' stead. And to provide for the emergency they are suggesting all manner of chimerical schemes, the varieties being nearly as numerous as the writers and speakers on the Most of these people have never seen a'slave, much less a plantation.

They know literally nothing of the institution that has-been- overturned, and less ct the character of labor required upon ur birge plaotations and peculiar productions. They demonstrated their lack of wisdom in these respects. after the opening of the Mississippi riTer, when, they sent a lot of experimentalists dayrn to work the abandoned plantar tions in Louisiana. The first thing these would-be southern instructors' did was to ignore the experience of half a century, and' instead of planting land with the seed to which it was adapted, proceeded to convert the. sugar plantations into cotton Of course they sunk a great deal of money, and the country was de prived of a large crop of sugar as well.

It was the army vrorm, they said, that distxoyed their --cotton but it was a noticeable fact, that cotton planted upon cotton growing land came to perfection" with no interference from the army worm or any other source. So here, probably? when' told that white labor is not adapted to rjee cultivation, these theorists, without sloping to" ask why this sh'ould be so, would probably advise that wheat or.cottoa be substituted for rice. The fact is they know nothing of southern agriculture, any more than they know of southern labor: They are famous for theo-. ries and experiments, but uniformly fail in them, ftlL r. Wow if our planters would only be wisethey; cbuldasily settle the difficulty which is troub-.

ling these people so greatly, and settle it in a practical way that" would at once redound tq the benefit of the people and the state, fit is true that slavery is abolished, but ihe. negrees are I yet with us. The very same element of labor isin our midst that was always here. In the first moments of joy and excitement over their new found, freedom, these people ran off from the plantations and proceeded to enjoy their in ulipimhle ritrhtg and tin h4 mv vigootuo buan uau been so suddenly thrust upon them. 'Their notion was that freedom consisted in having plenty to eat and no work.

But they are very rapidly finding out their error. They begin to see that they made great mistakes in leaving the old plantations and running out into the world where they had neither home' nor friends. They find that wherever they go.they get' more kicks than, and a pretty hard 4ot is their por-tionl Hence they very natutally themselves back on ole massa's plantation," and are not averse to letting the fact be known In 5 the cunning diplomatic way peculiar' to; the race, -they put themselves in the way of their to attract his hoping that he will ask them to return. They dpn't exactly like to make the first overtures, though sometimes they will even go as far as But crenemllw i way cau tiously. They wait for the first word to see what spirit is entertained towards themV If they find they have nothing to fear they will come right out and ask to be Uken back They have had enough of roaming Tabout and living on hard knocks.
