P. M. EPPING, , UK V. 8. COUNSUXi IN GERMANY, DENMARK AND SWEDEN. I 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 to see to the disbursement of the funds Collected from the freed people for this purpose, as per $ II. Both Boards to pass upon all bills and recommendations of expenditures, before the Treasurer of the funds pays out any of this money. * In our next we will try and explain the peculiarities of the soil, climate and mode of cultivation of the bouthern States. uivalent a week, for each grown Qf his family—children in pro- -afeo a quart of milk, or its equivalent each day—further in money: every able-bodied male to receive 30 cts. an d every ablebodied female 20 cte. a day, children in proportion, for every day they perform work for their employer. Then own lands would supply 'them with toe necessary vegetables, and their poultry and swine with the necessary meat. In this manner the maintainance of toe family is insured, even if toe laborer is preven ted from working by sickness or mis- fortnriaL _ _ . .. .

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.

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.
