juaelO BUTLXB A TITUS,
Experiments of Free Labor In the South.
Some of the most striking illustrations ve
ever remember to have heard of the imprae-
ticability of extensively cultivating Southern
soil by free labor, either white or black, are
related in a speech of a distinguished South
Carolinian in the House of Representatives —
Experiments of this kind have been tried in
both South Carolina and Florida, and with
similar results. The Rev. Mr. Capers, a dis*
tinguised minister to the Methodist Church,
gave np his own plantation to his slaves, hav
ing previously endeavored to prepare them
for their trnst by a thorough moral and reli-
gious training. It was after harvest when he
delivered over the plantation, and ha left them
with barns full, with stock of oattle and sheep,
and a horse to plough. • On leaving them, he
gave them all the good advice, both as to the
management of the estate and their own con
duct, which his own experience and his obser
vance suggested.
After the lapse of several harvests, Mr. Ct-
pers returned^o the scenes of bis philanthropy,
lo see how the objects of his benevolence were
ooming on. lie found the fields uncultivated,
the cattle eaten up, the barns empty, and the
horse employed, not to plough or cart, but to
convey the negroes to the neighboring plants*
lions to depredate. Another failure in an ex
periment of black labor waa in the year 1840,
when the estates in Trinidad, which had flour
ished under slave labor, became in conse
quence of West India emancipation, deserted
by the laborers. A pl.inlercamelo this coun
try, and from (be District of Columbia and tha
Stole of Maryland many free negroes were in
duced to go to Trinidad, to cultivate the land
upon the roost advantageous terms. The en
terprise resulted in a complete failure. The
free negroes found the sun too hot, and resor
ted to the towns or returned to ibis country.
The next experiment mentioned is of white
labor, and the experimenter was the distin
guished William Wirt, who had resolved to be
come a planter and purchased land in Florida.
Having some scruples, he determined against
the employment of slave labor, and carried
down to his plantation a large number of white
men. The work was coiumeuced in the autumn.
The men worked with industry and fidelity du
ring the winter and spring seasons, and all
went on as systematically and energetically is
Mr. Wirt had anticipated. But the rich flow*
ers of Mr. Wirt’s flue fancy were no sooner in
full bloom than they were b ighted. Summer
came, and the gourd of Jonah withered rapid
ly as it had grown. Hot days and moist nigl It,
and increased demands for labor in the Cotton
fields, took all the pith and marrow out of the
Anglo-Saxon bones. The men began to fail,
their sinews were relaxed, and, finding that
they could not endure the climate, they threw
down their agricultural implements, and left
the plantation in a body. The autumn' crop
would have been lost but for the fortunate cir
cumstance tbat a gang of negroes were in the
neighborhood for sale. These negroes were
purchased, the crop saved and thus the exper
iment ended.
Another experiment was tried by a gentle
man of New York, who took a large number of
German laborers into Florida, and began tbs
cultivation of New Smyrna, a tract of land upon
which a oolony of Greeks had once settled, but
finding free labor could not cultivate Southern
soil, had abandoned. The German laborers at
once set to work, as all their countrymen do,
xealously, faithfully and industriously, and
having placed the ground in beautiful order,
they planted the crops. But the Germans could
not keep off the ho- days, the tnoi?t nights, and
the mosquitos, and they also went away, leav
ing the New York gentleman without a labor
er upon the plantation. There were no negroes
in the neighborhood, and he lost his crop and
abandoned the estate.
In some of the Southern Stales tbs ther
mometer ranges from 118 to 188 degrees Fah
renheit, a comfortable temperature lor a sable
skin, but no while man can live under it. In
some of the most fertile regions of the South
ern States, not only is whitejabor impractica
ble, but the families of the proprietors cannot
even reside on them with safety during the
summer months.—Richmond Dispatch.
Have we a Government f
The court martial, in tbs case of Commo
dore Armstrong, is now sitting in Washington.
It has adjourned from day today inconsequence
of the abscence of Liutenant Gilman, who ism
Fort Pickens. The War Department has no
tified the Court that it is impossible for a sum
mons to be served on the witness.
This simple, single faot completely illus
trates the weakness, impotence and degrada
tion to which the Republican party haa redu
ced this once powerful Government. It can
not serve process on a witness in a Federal
fortress ! This suggests ether humiliating in
stances.
We are told that a man from Illinois, (Mr.
Laman,) despatched by tbo President on a
mission to Charleston, registered himself ss
from Virginia. But there is a more notable
instance. The President himself, from a base
fear and consciousness of guilt, stole, diguieed,
through Baltimore to his own inauguration at
Washington. He is this day afraid to go into
the slave States. Most of the members of bis
Cabinet are in the same situation. He will
■oou be afraid of General ScoU*s little stand
ing army in Washington. We should not be
surprised if one of these mornings the citisens
of Washington, on nwakening should discover
that the President and hie whole Cabinet had
paoked up their dude and decamped from the
metropolis.
Tbeee are the people who talked aboot
hanging the Southern Commissioners, and de
fending Fort Sumter to the leet, end now threa
ten to foroe reinforcements—which they In
geniously argue ere net reinforcements—lets
Fort Pickens. This is all balderdash. They
have not the spirit of sjpep.
By the time Republicans are done with the
Government* unless they change their policy,
it wlH be a fogilfvo Government, without a
capital.—PhUmdRphim Pamsplomian.
