Oats.. Swiyai’i Ideas about Alabama.
We find Ibe following letter of Gen.
B wayne in a late Northern paper:
Momtouiiky, Ala., Aug. 2, 18(56.
My Dear Sir: It ie fouud to be the case
throughout this State that froedmen have
more confidence in a "Yankee,” particu
larly one who wears a blue coat, than in
a native. On large places the servioes
of such a person are very valuable, and
many persons are anxious to secure such.
Many other planters whose farms have
been more or less stripped, especially of
oorn and bacon, otter very advantageous
terms to persons who have funds enough
to procure supplies for a year. They will
give their personal supervision and ex
perience. The cotton orop here seems to
be about as certain as oorn in Ohio.
Plenty of ootton land can be bought
here for eight and ten dollars per acre.
Plantations in good order, at about
twelve. Coal, Iron aud marble of fine
quality are also fouud here, accessible by
river and railroad.
I write these facts to you because many
persons just cut of the army are seeking
employment in Ohio who oould help us
here materially iu nettling the labor ques
tiou. The negroes are generally ready
enough to work, and are improving daily
in this partioulai. They are all of them
eager to iearu, and the plantation that
has a school on it ie generally the best
tilled in the neighborhood.
II you will oause the substance of this
to be roads public you will help a oause

Will (It* Negro Rare Die Out I
The Washington Chronicle publishes
quite an elaborate article to show that
the oolored raoo, now that it is free, ie
destined to a uot very distant extinction.
It gives figures to prove that even pretG
ous to ihe war the rate of increase of the
white raoe wus much greater than that of
the black race. At the time of the forma
tion of the Constitution, the blaoke were
about oue-iifth of the population ; to-day
they do not number much over one-tenih.
The following table shows the respective
proportions of the two races iu the United
States as exhibited in census :
Slaves and
Whites. F. Cold.
1720 80.70 19 27
1800 81.13 18 87

1840 83.17 16 83
1850 84 31 15 69
JB6O 86.88 14 12
In 1700 tha white population was
3,172,464, and the black 767,3637 In
1860 the whites numbered 26,975,674, to
the blacks 4,441,730. The war has out
oh thousands of the oolored race, and so
changed and unsettled is their condition,
that even under improved oiroumstanoes
it is doubtful if they hold their own in
numbers for years to come, while there
are many reasons for believing that future
censuses will show a steady deotiae in
stead of increase of the black raoe.

ble to maka it? Has the currency on
that side of the world got so bad that
they have to pay that stuff out, as we
once had to do with the poster > stamps,
and we got so stuck with them ? Now I
hear after they have paid away about
seven hundred miles, they have lost the
insulation overboard, whatever that is. It
was very careless to be handling a thing
like that so near the edge of a ship, par
ticularly if it would sink. As my hus
band used to say, those that " go down to
sea in ships ” very seldom come np again.
Is an insulation a roan, or in it anything
like a Da Bsuty that they had so muoh
.trouble with iu getting all right on tha
first cable ?

South oj>»* « speoiai mission from me
government, is writing letters to a North
ern paper, the tone of whioh letters, it is
believed, Is calculated to do more injury
than the Schurz mission is likely to do
good. The intention of the government
when Sohurz was sent to the South was
to have him quietly perform his mission
and make an official report to the war de
partment.
