were four millions of slaves, generally es-
to be of tlie value of Two thousand mil-
dollars, that is, on average of five hund

could generally realize about that
an increase of about two bund
per cent upon the value of 1830. The num-
her had quadrupled in fifty years. These slave*
ned to the fifteen "Southern States," as
called, the District of Columbia apd the
. territories, \githin the same |pace resided
eight millions of white Freemen and 250,000 free
negroes. The remaining nineteen States, called
the free States and Territories had in round num-
bers twenty millions inhabitants, including a
quarter of a million of free negroes. It will th^p
be seen that the population of the Slave States
wosdivided into three classes : White, 8,000,000
slaves 4,000,000, free blacks 250,000, making two
thirds free and one third slaves. Those who now
argue that we are utterly ruined, because the two
can no longer control the one third, of course
too narrow a view of the subject.
It must not be forgotten that Deleware, Mary-
land, Virginia, Kentucky and Missouri were in
eluded in the fifteen slave States ; and in the ag-
gregate they had about three million free and one
million slave inhabitants. But the proportions
were not equal. Thus, Maryland had one to seven,
Virginia one to three, Kentucky one to four, and
Missouri one to eleven. In Arkansas, Tennessee
and Texas the proportion ivas about one to two
and in the residue of the States it was nearly half
to half. The distribution among the free inhabi-
tants was still more unequal, For of the 8,000,
000 free people, only 370,000 owned slaves and
about half of these only owned from one to two
and another fourth had Vlty few. Allowing that
each owner had tl,n fnHlih tlffifl *
civilization
;
W mi, .
ÜMÍt seventeen hundred thousand,
„ .300,000 to hire slave labor if they enjoyed
the inestimable blessing. Had the labor been
equally divided^ all around the south would have
had one negro to support two whites. But it was
not so divided. For in all the mountain countries
of tho Allegamos and Blue Ridge and all the other
mountain and hill districts there were compara-
,-tively very few slaves. Many portions of these
c ountries were well farmed ; muny of the inhabi-
tants were industrious and rich. The capital in
the slaves is lost to the 370,000 owners. Th ne-
nroos remain with all thoir thews and sinews, their
strong enduring'bodies and uncultivated minds.
It is a matter of indifference to the hirer whether
ho pays the owner or the negro.
The only, remaining question is, will they con
tiriue to work as much as they did when slaves.—
That the eight millions of whites will work wore,
nsdto better advantage, there can be no doubt.—
Many of those who have beon accustomed to use
itio lash, assume that tho negro will not work
without the restraint of corporeal punishment,
i\nd tho power to sell the disobedient to severer
raastors. If true, this can only be of short du-
ration. The people who have not the skill to en-
ter upon learned professions and the more intol
J actual occupations of life, must labor; and in the
changed condition of families, a great many of
the fancy blacks will have to resort to habits of
industry. The true condition of man is to work;
and, with the improvements of the age, they must
wdfk skillfully. And, unless the experience of
the whole world be wrong, the strongest incentive
-to man is his necessity; and the most valuable la-
, "nor is that whicty is bousht and paid for as the
\yórk is performed.
We know that it is urged that the largo planta-
tions will be broken up; that hired men Will not
vorkin gangs; and therefore cotton and sugar,
and rice and tobacco, cannot be produced. But
these were never ail produced by slave labor; nor
has it ever been demonstrated that the large fields
and slovonly culture of negro plantations are the
most profitable. If the plantors have not the
tilciH and good sense to hire the negroes and work
their open lands, there are thousands of small
farmers, mechanics, lvotel-keepers, railroad men
nnd stock-raisers who will employ them and work
♦hem profitably. There may not be so much cot-
ton made for some years, but if there should not,
it. will brine a higher price, and it is to be hoped

"Hute Southern. "
This is the closing of a long, communication to
tho Galveston News. The communication robbed
of its grandiloquence, gives some good advice! to
to tho "Chivalry" and those who call ^themselves
the aristocracy, which they would do well to heed.
The writer evidently belonged to the mutual ad-
miration "sooiety, which makes the above advice
more valuable. Yes young men, instead of sit-
ting around the streets, ornamenting the side-
walks, get up and go to work at thQ first thing
you can find, which will give you honest employ-
ment- Or if you are fudy determined that you
will not Uve under the banner of the Union ftnd
will emigrate, do so at once, for you are only
losing time by pitting down and brooding over the
imaginary ruin of your country. For as "Hope
Southern" tolls you, if you will not be ready to
start* in the great race óf improvement, that
'Yankee capitel and Yankee enterprise will crowd
you out of the land of your high- So instead of
sitting idly around and swearing -that {he country
is ruined because emancipation has taken place,
and the negro will no longer work, roll up your
sleeves and go at.it yourselves. If you have any
means left, hire the freedmen and go to fanning;
for with the present high; prices of cotton it wil]
certainly pay you to raise that article. If.jrou do
acriptioj^s. If you caunot make a living here,
what do yoji expect to do in a country where you
know nothing of {he language ? You'eurély must
expect to work when you go to en|oy "exile and
liberty pn foreign soil." For we can" téll you that
few foreigners will hold out the welcoming hand of
friendship to you.
VWhen you go to work to support yourselves,'
even should the "haughtiest dame cease to smile
upon yo«," you will have tho proudsatisfaction of
knowing that yon aro no longer drones in society.

our country have come from the work-bench—

Tlíé small pox has existed in Marshal for several
weeks. The first cases that occnred were in the
family in the vicinity of town, on the Henderson
road. Recently the disease made its appearance
among the negroes, a number of whom have been
lodging in the laboratory buildings. On Monday
night one of them died. Two or three othors, it
is said, are sick. It will be wonderfnU, if with
the present amount of exposure, the laigernumber

very rapidly. We would not be at idl surprised
to be informed any day, that it had not broken out
among the citizens or soldiers. This is a matter
of great interest to the community, yet owing to
the peculiar condition of the public mind, nothing
has been or is likely to be done by the citizens of
the place,—Marshall Republican, 12.

—The appointments of Gov. A. J. Hamilton for
this city mid county, me received with satisfac-
tion by fhe citizens. We do not believe that a
more popular set of officers could have been elect-
ed by the people. It seams to be the intention of
Gov. Hamilton to appoint the "right man in the
right place." This is what we want now. We
need men who are responsible and capable of fill-
ing their offices. We hear the Governor compli-
mented on every hand for the sound practical
sense he displays in his appointments, and we feel
sure that he will be one of the most popular Gov-
ernors we have ever had.
