Vow that the authority of the' Suited
Slf , t( s Government iB restabKshed, there
nil], in consequence of abolition of - sla-
,. v- i, e a great change in the relations
I „-I ween the laborer and the employer.
■i | |P black man, who in the former state
iif slavery, relied entirely upon hm mas-
1., to think and care for him and pro-
TI ,l e for his lamiiy—not only in ordinary
bail's and under ordinary circumstances,
l, ri t also during sickness, misfortunes
. u „l old age—will now be forced! to care
(,„■ his timely as well as his future wants;
!m ,l it will require time, before he will
out of his pr^pnt state of childish
jtTioranee, with regard to his new re
sponsibilities and duties. It devolves
t l l lore upon the Government—in fact,
it i,,.,-nines its sacred duty—to act as his
unrdiau, and to see that he does not,
li his own improvidence, become a bur-
(li-n upon'the community, or perish from
V,mil or starvation,—thereby depriving
, t „ ro .,t and rich section of our country
of"the necessary laborers, particularly
w h t -re the pestilentialclimate will not al-
j.,\ V the white laborer to perform the
■Mutinous field labor required by Cot-
1.. 1., nice, Sugar and other rich produc
tions of these very regions. It is furth
er the duty of the Government to place
the freedmen under the protection of its
vi: i law, see that he is justljMealt with
tv his employer, and that his testimony
hr taken in the courts of justice, etc.
The position of the freed colored peo-
j>le is one of great delicacy. The freed
negro,—either voluntarily or forced by
nrcuiuHtaiices, leaving his former habi
tation, comforts and necessaries, all of
which belong to his former master—is
lit rally destitute of all and everything
v li rewitli to sustain life. He has neith
er moperty nor money, neither lands
nurVasts, nor agricultural implements,
si- it her pot nor pan, and hardly clothing
enough to cover their nakedness; already
th tew thousands of aged and women
and children, thrown upon the hands of
ili. Government, have caused serious
difficulties and occasioned great expen
ditures of money—what will it not be,
whm nearly four millions of people are
thrown upon our hands ? The rate of
mortality in the camps around Washing
ton alone, as shown by the reports of
Hit- respective superintendents, is by it-
t-i f alarming enough, to cause the true
philanthropist to look around him for
ether means and ways to provide for
these unfortunate people. .
Where are, then, the means, to come
Iri ini to provide Schools and Churches,
S■ In mlmasters and parsons,Hospitals and
Aluilurascs, Physicians and Nurses for
these four millions of freed people as
a [un said V They themselves certainly
cannot—without a proper organization
ot their labor—their former rich but now
impoverished masters cannot, and it is
hared, that the already heavily taxed
t>- '[do of the free States will not sup
ply the heavy sums annually required
fur this purpose. The question there-
furc arises, how are these necessary
nu-aus to be raised then ? We answer,
these means must be raised from amongst
those same freed people, under an or
ganization put into operation and super
intended by the Government.
The property as well as labor of every
community throughout the civilized
world is now taxed for the purpose above
Mated, by the communal authorities; but
r lide the communal authorities are
wanting, there the General Government
M-ps in and takes charge of the neces-
s iy organization; and so ii; must be ar-
i 'aed with us. It is therefore respect-
oily suggested, that the following coarse
1 adopted and the Accessary laws enact
ed to carry the same into effect:
I With the view to enable the Govem-
n at to exercise its guardianship over
ni colored freedmen,- ft board of Com
missioners should be organized in every
' utln-rn State. Perhaps the Commis-
Muuers already appointed, or to be ap-
!" anted, under the act" establishing the
I reed men’s Bureau, might be profitably
•inployed for this purpose, without ad
ditional expense to the Government.
1 uy.se Commissioners should then ap-
i’miut a supervisor and a flashier in every
I r uity or district, to attend to all mat :
I ids put under their charge.
I II. All colored persons who were freed
I n-m slavery by the President's Proclama-
I ni, should be enrolled by the supervi-
I 1 t, and all able-bodied men and women,
| l i able of earning wages, should be held
I “pay a small tax from lto2 Dollars a
I r '-uth, according to their several abili-
[ 1 -s.und of which a fund should be creat-
1 oi. for the purpose of providing for the
[ infirm, aged and orphan and all others
[ incapable of earning a livelihood, as well
I : -s for providing for schools, hospitals,
I itc. It will however be found, that a
| S eat portion of them are so improvident
I nnd indolent that they will not or can-
I : '"t pay this tax, nor even provide for
I themselves or their families properly.
I “ich people should"be taken in hand by
I tjm Commissioners, upon the repprt of
I cue supervisors and cashiers, and appren-
I Wed dr hired out, for a given time, un-
|til they have learned to husband their
1 Wans, so as to be able to pay this tax.
I Ike person hiring them, in the
I ‘‘-'m., to pay'this tax, or at least be re-
R "bjusible for the same. In fact, the pau-
1 1" fs should be taken cate of in the same
as is now done in the Northern
ETI. In order to insure the observance
and execution of all. contracts and
ments between }
the colored laborer—who gem
such
neither read, nor write—it
made obligatory by law, that all
contracts be made subject to the
tiori of fee. prb^er authorized
ment officers, and, withal, have their ap
proval and sanction, to be binding.
He planters and farmers should be
emsouiaged to retain and settle their
former slaves on their i
make contracts jvithjth
bor, and" to give or hire them small pat
ches of land, and to furnish them there
on comfortable small cottages, ensuring
by these means a good feeling and *
mony amongst all parties. The- produc
tiveness q» the country would then go on
as formerly, and the immense quantities
of valuable commodities which the
Southern portion of the United States is
capable of bringing forth, would again
supply our own markets and the markets
of the world,—the latter being of parti
cular advantage to us, as it supplies the
necessary exchanges for jforeign con
dities consumed by ns. Our wet
farmers would, on the other hand, again
find | more remunerating markets for
their produce in the Cotton,. Bice and
Sugar growing regions of our own coun
try, than is now the case abroad.
IV. According to our experience, there
are forty full working hands in every
one hundred of the colored population
of the Southern States. This would give
between 15 and 16 millions who would be
subject to the tax, and fully 20 millions
of Dollars eoulff be realized from the
same annually, which is throught amply
sufficient, in time, for all the purposes
mentioned.
V. The extraordinary high price, of all
Southern productions afford an immense
stimulus to the Southern people to
make speedy and cureful arrangements
with such freed people as they can ob
tain for the purpose, to enable them to
work and cultivate their lands again and
raise a plenty of these commodities, so
as to reimburse themselves for toe losses
sustained during toft time they or their
section of country were in a state of re
bellion. We think, therefore, if the
Commissioners mentioned above, were
authorized and instructed to pursue a con
dilatory course and policy, and induce toe
Southern landowner, to adopt toe above
mentioned course, that muoh might be
done towards restoring harmony and
good' feeling in the country.
"Vi The act, establishing a Freedmen’s
Bureau makes it the duty of the Com
missioners appointed by the President,
in pursuance thereof, to make from
time to time such temporary rules and
regulations, and insert such clauses in
said leases, as shall be just and proper to
secure proper and reasonable employment
and support at wages, or upon shares of
the crop of such persons and families
as may be residing upon said parcels and
lots of land which said rules and regula
tions are said to be subject: to the ap
proval of the President; but as there
will be many such persoqp whom nobodj
can or will hire, such as infirm, sick am
cripple, orphan and aged, which will
have to be provided for, as well as pro
visions will have to be made for school-
houses and teachers. Almshouses and
hospitals, physicians and nurses, some
-mode of raising a revenue, will have to
be devised as already mentioned in the
foregoing, as the Whole country where
slavery formerly existed, is now entirely
destitute of any such institutions and
conveniences.
" Ylt. It is therefore recommended that
a system, something like the Swedish
peasant system, be adopted for reorgan
izing the agricultural labor system with
regard to the colored persons freed from
slavery. Some few of them may have
taken advantage of the President’s kind
orders, as given to the Board of Tax
Commissionery for South Carolina, and
bought or hired small lots of land to set
tle upon; but the great majority of the
four millions of these people, inhabiting
the Southern States, cannot and will not
avail themselves of the same, for reason,
that’ they have neither toe means nor the
knowledge to cultivate the lands, even
after they have obtained them. They
have no money to buy materials for
houses and fences; no means to procure
agricultural implements and beasts; no
food until a crop can be gathered; con
sequently, it is far better that they should
be settled upon toe lands of the more in
telligent wlnte man, who has the means to
provide them with immediate necessaries
and Comforts, under the supervision and
guardianship of the General Government,
through its Commissioners as aforesaid;
until they have procured means and
knowledge enough to settle on lands of
their own. - ’*
VIIL Every person owning or hiring
lands sufficient to enable him to employ
hired labor, should have the privilege of
making contracts with these freed people,
from 12 month to 12 months at a time,
under the superintendence of toe board
of "Commissioners or their appointed
agent (supervisor! in a district. No per
son should be allowed, however, to hire
more of these laborers, with their families,
Hi on they are able to supply within a rea
sonable time with a oomtortable dwelling
containing at least four departments each
—namely, one lor the kitchen, <Jne for
the storeroom, and two for toe family to
live and sleep in;—together with a pig-
stall and a foWffiouse; and each dwelling
should be provided with a piece of
ground, for a garden, of at least one acre,
well fenced in. ■ ’
IX. I deem the following conditions of
such a contract,—taking the Swedish
"Torpor” system for & guide—1
and jhst—I would it, however,
stood, that I think it proper
sueh freed person .who is capable
intelligent enough, to make liis o
tract with an employer and j
quota of his Tax regualarly, be not in
terfered with by the Government, unless
at their own request^*, wit;
The laborer para for oeoqpying a dwel- -Qtt&e
ling as d&<Jnbed‘aboVe, ah ahimal rent
of five or ten Dollars, and binds himself,
as well as his Wife and children, to, work
whenever able and called upon by toe
proprietor to do so, and receives there
for toe fdllbwingwages:—first In. kind,
all the year rqund; one peek of OQTB, or
furnished, the laborer might be furnish-
with a cow, or food for- a cow, and
necessary, in the beginning, a suf-
it allowance of bacon or other meat
should be given weekly—and at harvest
the time, the laborers should get, instead of
wages, one tenth of all the crop they
each indevidually or collectively harvest,
with their own hands or labor. Such is
the general character of the Swedish ‘ ‘Tor
por” system, which, I think, might, with
some modifications, he made to answer
in our Southern States; until time has re.
golated the whole matter itself. In
Sweden the “Torpor” enjoys the full
benefits of toe courts of the country—in
fact, the law regards every man to be the
equal of his fellowman —but the ‘ ‘Torpor”
is debarred from exercising the elective
franchise as long as he is so bound and
dependant by yearly contracts. This is
to prevent the landowners from exerci
sing an undue influence over the votes of
their dependants, and thereby having an
improper control of the Ballot Box.
X. In each county or convenient dis
trict, two local Boards of Commissioners
should be elected by toe people, annu
ally or Bemi-annully—that is to say, one
composed of white members and elected
by the white people of such district or
eounty, the other composed of people of
African descent and elected by the color
ed population. These Boards to have
charge of the superintendence of the
Schools, Almshouses and Hospitals and

Collected from the freed people for this
purpose, as per $ II. Both Boards to pass

NNAH, GEORGIA, SATURDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 9,
The Climate, Soil and Cultivation
of the South-Eastern States-
‘sr 1 -.
The question of reorganization of the
Southern States, now that the rebellion
has been suppressed and its leaders
brought to condign punishment, is one
of groat intricacy. There seems, as yet,
to be much misunderstanding among the
people’'of the Northern States, with re
gard to the Climate,Soil,Cultivation, etc.,
of the South—many people think that
there are no parte of the South which
cannot be so improved by cultivation
that a white persons can live in any part
of it at any season of the year; others
think that there is a superabundance of
lands yet at the South, which only need
a proper supply of intelligent and indus
trious persons, to bring them under pro
fitable culture; and again others think
that it is best, to break up all large estates
at lhe South and divide the lands to settle
the freed colored people, as well as white
emigrants from other sections, upon. All
these people are in a great measure mis
taken, and often wrongly informed. It
will be my object in this paper, to try
to explain and correct, as far as I am
able, such erroneous impressions, by
showing the true nature of the climate;
the manner of cultivating the soil; the
difference between the Northern, South
ern and Western lands, and the reasons
why toe colored man is necessary in the
rich but sickly regions of the South Eas
tern States, and give the reasons why the
lands in these States cannot and should
not be divided into small parcels like the
lands of the North and West.
There is a large extent of territory in
the Southern States, which is in such a
peculiar situation that the land can hard
ly be divided into small tracts for onltiva-
tion, as is the case in the Northern and
Western States. The rich bottom lands
and marshes lying between salt and
fresh water, need snch expensive dyken-
ing and draining, that, it cannot be
done by small proprietors or lessees, and
it would be beyond their means to cul
tivate such property. It would be use
less for one such small proprietor to try
to improve and secure his lands from
overflowing, if his neighbor were to neg
lect his own—large convenient tracts
must be dyked under one carefully de
vised system, or the whole lay idle.
The very sections where the water is
brackish cannot be inhabited by the
white man during the summer months,
the very time when the most agricultural
labor is required to bjo performed, on ac
count qf the prevailing death-dealing re
mittent and congestive fevers, m
consequence of the miasma arising from
decaying vegetable matter.
v 1st. The natwe if the climate is snob,
tliatin the belt of. country extending
often to 100 miles from the Sea Coast in
the South Eastern States, it is in many
places so infested with malaria, from th£
first oHVfay until the fall or winter frost
has purified the air and killed vegetation,
that it is death to the white tod even
strange black.man, to sleep within its in
fluence one single night even. Medical
science has as yet found no cure for the 1
iver contracted where toe rioe prows,
id Vhere the water from the admixture
salt tide-water with the fresh water,
is brackish. The cultivation of the soil f
in, toriregion, instead of improving the j
healthlulness of the climate, actually!
it worse; for the gatherings of veg-
iu ihe ton vial bottoms,
to the sun bt the spade
for an indefinite time
to come, exhale this, to the white man !
death-dealing miasma, and so do the rice-
fields when the water Is jot off from the ,
matnred rice, and tire vegetation &rown
in between toe rice-straw liegins to rot.
Even negroes who are not acclimated iff
toese sections, often die of this pewi-
imnasssbk* barrier.
Tfius is it shown, why the Soutl
ern States require a peculiar mode of set
tlement and cultivation, and how difficult
it fa to form a correct estimate of the
same, without first acquiring an intimate
knowledge of the soil, climate and topo-
grapby of the country.

Messrs. T. A H. GAUGBAN A Co., No. 110 Broad-
dons fever, and consequently only acoli- j iDtervenrng su amps forming almost an
mated-negroes can successfully cultivate i
the rich marsh and bottom lands in file
regions in question. The Sea Islands,
however, around which the salt water
ebbs and flows, are perfectly healthy du
ring the summer season, and afford, with
proper care, good habitations for the
white man generally.
The section of country next above this
is so interspersed with swamps mid sa
vannahs, and dulls and fevera «e so pre
valent, that the use of Qninine has be
come of almost daily necessity to all ita
inhabitants, unfitting them in a very
short time for out-of-door employment;
the colored man, however, remains per
fectly healthy and hearty, and is fit for
any kind of labor, jn these regions
there fa also at certain times and reasons
of the year a pernicious high bilious fe
ver prevalent, under whioh many a ro
bust white, ‘fts well as black person in
the prime of life, finds an untimely
grave.
It may be said these swamps will be
cleared and these savannahs will be
drained, and then the climate will become
more salubrious.
Many sections of the South have been
drained and cultivated now for more than
200 years—the vast campagna near Rome
in Italy, has in the same manner been
cultivated for more than 2000 years—and
all are, to this day, as sickly, if not more
so, I than they ever were. Then, again,
who can undertake to clear the swamps
of the second region, as described above,
of often of hundreds of square miles in
extent, and thickly overgrown with im
mense cypress trees, interspersed with
the sweet gum ; neither of which, up to
this day, have been proven to be fit for
any kind of human husbandly—and so full
of watervines and other undergrowth, as
to be almost impassable for man and
beast at most seasons of the year.
2d. The manner of cultivation is Of
course very much dependent on the eli
mate; the employment of fresh animal
manure, even if obtained, and also of
Guano, fa useless, for the volatile ammo
nia is in a brief period, drawn out again
by the sun, acting upon the light and
parched sandy soil of the dry ridges;
consequently where there is not an abun
dance of dried leaves from the forests, or
other vegetable to be had for compost
manure, the lands are soon worn out,
and the cultivator must have other lands
in reserv e, so as to give his worn out
lands time to rest. The Southern plants
er or farmer consequently needs a much
larger tract of land, than his more favor
ed fellow-citizen of the North. While
the Northern farmer will harvest from 60
to 80 bushels of com to the acre, the
Southerner thinks he is doing well when
he gets 20 bushels from the same extent
of land, while often he gets much less,
so that the crop is not sufficient to pay
the expenses of cultivation; the same -fa
the case with cotton lands, which he ma
nures with all the surplus cotton seed he
has, but still this fa not enough to keep
these lands under continued cultivation;
he must let them rest, also, at times.
Again; it must be taken into consider
ation, that the hot sun dining the sum
mer months so parches and dries up all
pasture lands, that there does not remain
a particle of food on it for the cattle, just
as in the winter months, and for this
reason the planter or farmer must have
sufficient woodlands, to drive his cattle
into, for obtaining subsistence during
these months. This shows now, how im
possible it fa, to divide these lands into
snch small sections as the lands of the
North and West, for the planter must al
ways have many more acres of land than
he needs for immediate cultivation, and
then he must possess a large tract of
woodlands, not only for his stock during
the summer months, bat also for gather
ing dried leaves snfficient to enable him
to make some manure, Of coarse, all
this relates only to the regions called the
upland ; the difficulty of dividing the
low lands and marshes into small tracts
has already been described above. The
undersigned beg, however, to be under
stood, that he floes not mean to say that
there are np exceptions to the roles above
given, and that there are no lands in the
regions described, which could not be
profitably divided into small tracts; as
for instance, some of the islands around
Port Royal Bound and other exceptional
or peculiar situations favorable to this
mode of cultivation; he only meant to
prove, that the direction given by the
11th section of the act of June, 1862, to
subdivide the lands and to sell the same
in parcels not to exceed 320 acres to aqy
one purchaser, is altogether mpraotica-
ble, and ought tq ha changed so as to
leave it to 0e best judgment of the com
missioners, so to divide the lands or not,
as the nature of each particular parcel
or lot may admit of.
The numerous rivers in the Southeast
ern States which Sow into the Atlantic
ocean and the Gulf are generally followed:
first, by more or less low lands and
a clay haqk, which
-qds, aqfl oq Which the
cotton, called the "mams” aqfl ‘‘santees”
grows-—a species m quality about mid
way between the ftea Island and the Up
land cotton. These banks, however, are
very unhealthy during the summer
months, on account of the contiguity of
the low lands. Next following these banks
come the immense swamps, proper, and
following the swamps, the white sand
pine ridges, with here and there a savan
na interspersed. The, Pine Ridges fol
low the couTse-of the rivet generally, of-. 1
Jeff fllose fc the sea "coast" and afford
in many places healthy summer resi
dences to the white man, and they are
made use of by sueh planters as have not
convenient Sea Island to reside on during
the hot season of the year. Here also
lives the poor Southall white man, and
ekes oat a miserable existence; for th.e
soil fa So poor-that it -\rff| not rfepaydhe
trouble Qf euMpivutibh, and were ft not
for the occasional savannah, and the- low
grounds,' nobody could exist in the Same.
Its deaih-like stillness shows that not'
even birds inhabit the
where there is not any undergrowth!
