We are in constant receipt of complaints from our argieultural friends, iu various portions ol the Slate, in reference to the vexatious uncertain ty and inefficiency of the prerent labor system, if system it oan be called But while sympathiring wiih them in their perplexed condition, we per ceive no indications of any very speedy remedy for the anno>ance to which they are subjected. The substance of ihtse complaints we shall at tempt brefiy to state. It is well known that prior to the termination of the war, many able-bodied negro men had left their masters, leaving to the latter the duty of feeding and clothing and car ing ior the parents of such negroes, their wives a- U children. After Gen. Lee’s surrender, the military authorities of the Federal Government pr- claimed that the slaves were all free, and had a right to contract for their own labor. The farm • its of Virginia were told that they must pay theso treed negroes such wages as the respective parties might agree upon. In a large portion of the State the fatme-s could obtain no laborers ex cept theso freed negroes, who had become greatly demoralized, as laborers, during the war. From the necessity of the case, our agricultural friends were compelled to employ these recently freed ne groes, or let their plantatians run to neglect and waste. But, as numbers of them assure us, their own experience and observation Binoe the surren der have abundantly demonstrated that these freed negroes—for the present, at least—are utter ly unreliable as laborers. When fair and satis factory contracts are made with them, they vio late them, with or without any pretext, as their inclinations dictate. Claiming to be free—which nobody disputes—they seem to think they have .he right, notwithstanding the contracts entered into between them and their late masters, to work only when they please, and as little as they please. Xo amount of remonstrance or reproof, as we are told, on the p^t of the farmers who hire them, produces any improvement in their indolent ha bits; and it is not extravagant to assert that a more worthless and unproductive set of laborers cannot bo found at present in any part of the civilized world. How it may be in the future, it is difficult to say; but from reliable and trust- worthy gentlemen, who have been farmers for many years, we learn that never beforejhave these colored laborers been so idle, so fond of roaming about, and so addicted to theft as they have been since the first of May; and instead of deserving aDy wages fur the little work they perform on the farms, the most of them do not earn their meat and bread. In defiacoe of those patent and well- established facts, certain persons, who know nutuing about the matter, undertake to ad vise the people of the iouth to pay these Ireed- inen as much as eight, ten or twelve dollars per month, when it is clear, we think, that one white laborer on a Pennsylvania farm will do as muoh work in ODe day as five or si^ negroes who have recently been emancipated in Virginia. Whether any improvement is likely soon to occur in the indust'ial habits of these lately freed negroee, is at least problematical*—certainly the Btimuius of fair wages and kind treatment has had little ef fect on them so far. They may be waiting for what they consider a better time coming—that is, for a division of the land among themselves, and probably the expulsion of the white popula tion, which many of them are evidently anticipa ting, only, however, to be disappointed. It is undoubtedly a fact, that upon an indefinite nnmoer of tarms in Virginia, there are very many old and infirm freed negroes, livipg solely at the expense of their former masters, who, ffio.qgh without money and deserted by most of their able-bodied hands, have scorned to turn away these helpless ones, hoping to be able, somehow or other, to take care of them the remainder of their lives. In addition to these, there are many women with large families ot young children (whose natural protectors have abandoned them,) exclusively dependent upon the indulgence and kiDiluess of tlreir taimer masters lor food.shelter, raiment aud medical atten4ance. All this consti tutes a heavy tax upon the former master—a tax, indeed, which the late master will be totally un able to bear very much longer, unless there should be a radical alteration in the industrial habits of toe able-bodied men whom he has in his employ, but who, thus far, as we have shown, are performing very little service, although promptly paid their hire. But the question naturally arises—whose duty is it to support these old negroes, who are una ble to work, and those negro women, whose la bor will not suffice to support them and their little children ? The late master would willingly and gladly support this class ot his former slaves, if he were able to do so ; but the incontestibje fact is, that he is not able, and, therefore, it is not his duty. But, the Federal Government having decreed the emancipation of the slaves, is it not clearly the duty ot that government to provide for the support of such of the recently freed negroes as arc incapable of supporting themselves? Unquestionably it is, in ourhum- ble judgment. For, with what justice or propri ety can tbe former masters of these late slaves, or the several State governments, be required to clothe, feed, shelter and otherwise take care ot so large a number of non-prodncers ? Have not the farmers and planters of Virginia and the South incurred inconveniences, josses apd suf ferings enough already ? Ifby should the Gov ernment ot the United States—rich, powerful and magnanimous, too, we trust-impose upon them the enormous expense and trouble of maintain ing a multitude of free negroes, without com pensation? These are pregnant questions, which we com mend to the earnest and early consideration of the government, in a pfirfaptjy kind and frank spirit. We admit, as all the citiaeng of the South admit, that the negroes, as a general thing, both during the war and even since its close, have demeaned themselves, (save in the particulars referred to above, I in the most credi table and praiseworthy manner. They deserve the sympathy, the encouragement and the aid of every man, in either section of the Union, who has a heart in his bosotp. And we are very sure that the people ot Virginia, so far 3s their pqor means will permit, will take pleasure in render ing them all the succor and assistance they may need, in their new condition. But it is absurd to expect ot our citizens, however well disposed, to perforin the impossible feat of supporting vast numbers of non producers without the slightest compensation. Meeting; of Stockholders in Milledge* villc Telegraph Company. Milledgeville, Aug. 10th, 18Gi. At a meeting this day held, 51 shares of stock in the Company were represented. On motion, Col. Wm.

Address of General Meaglicr at St. Paul. General Thomas F. Meagher lately delivered a long address at St. Paul, Minnesota, on the political issues before the country, and the du ties of adopted Irishmen to that country. We extract the following: “But now that the war is over, what should be the duty of every citizen to the National Executive, seeing that the war was the violent denial of that reverence and subordination which was due to the chief magistracy of the nation, and without which the power of the peo ple, vested in the executive, is grievously com promised if it be not totally impaired. I care not upon what platform he may have been elected—I care not what party may have placed him at the head of national affairs—I contend that the Chief Magistrate should have the un qualified support of every citizen of the Repub lic, and that this support should be independent of and superior to every political consideration. It is a tame and beggarly patriotism, indeed, which professes to support the Executive as long as the Executive is right; that is, as long as it pleases certain parties, and makes certain nominations, but withdraws its support and goes into opposition when the Executive fails to satisfy the politicians of one description or another, and overlooks the immense service of Snooks and”Sniggins in the distribution of the Federal patronage, Had we less criticism of the men we set over us in office, and a heartier chivalry in our relations with them, it would be all the more advantageous for the commonwealth, all the happier for the public servants, and all the more creditable to ourselves. Had Abraham Lincoln, in the terrible days in which he bore, with a patient heroism, the weightiest burdens that have ever been imposed upon a public officer, beeu cheered in the agony of his official cares by a moiety of that love and homage which his assassination called forth, aud which with the bounteousness of the waters, set free in the desert by the prophet’s waDd, over flowed the couutry, makiog it fertile in noble thoughts and a loftier regard for the administra tors of the national esiate—had this been the case, think how much easier his great task would have been, how much less confident and defiant the rebellion would have proved, and how much more respectably certain important personages, at the other end of the Atlantic cable, would have demeaned themselves toward us during the diffi culties of the nation. If I venture to impress these views with special force upon my fellow- citizens of Irish birth, it for the reason that de votion to their political leaders and fidelity to party obligations is of a more intense character with them than with any other people, and their action upon public questions is usually controll ed by their partialities ior the political school to which they devote themselves, and their latuitous faith in its impossibility ever to go wrong. 80 far, then, for what I conceive should be the rela tions of every citizen to the national executive, and the spirit in which these relations should be maiDtaint d. The next question suggested by the events of the day, and the new condition in which the Southern States find themselves, is in relation to the terms and disposition which the people of the loyal States should extend to the former, and the good will and frendship they should manifest toward those whoso manly acceptance of what they consider to be their adverse fate, entitles them to the respect and consideration of their more fortunate rivals in the field. The answer to this question is already set )fourth the conditions of the surrender at Appomattox Court house. It becomes the people fo the North, and it seems to me it should be a sacred obliga tion with them, to treat the people of the South with an honorable propriety and a gallant gene rosity. A policy or bearing other than that io- dicated in the military surrender, will conteract ihe success of our arms, keep the wounds of the South inflamed, produce an irreparable alienatioo, and overshadow with opprobrium the laurels of the North. Defeated, as the South has been, in its great scheme to install another government and nationality on this continent, and win the royalty of Mississippi—hsving fought in the teeth of the most crushing odds and disabilities with a soldier ship that establishes them in history as the most masterly revolutionists of any age or country— now that this dazzling project has been defeated any the National Government resumes its sway with a weightier authority than ever it held be- fore, and an admitted superiority over the oldest and grandest powers, it should be the aim and object of the people of the ftorth and West so to conduct themselves in their social and political relations with the South, that the latter, even in the hour of their capitulation, and amid the havoc that has swept their fields and oities, sba 1 be in duced to entertain one regret only—and that the rnaDly and generous regret that they ever struck a blow against the United States and coveted the humiliation of our flag. Nor should we be less liberal—less jnst in fact—to our black comrades of the battle-fieid. By their desparate fidelity to the fortunes of the nation in many a fierce tempest of the war—a fidelity all the more heroic that t.h8y fought in chain! and with the devotion of martyrs repaid with torrents of gener ous blood, the proscription and wicked bondage in which under the sanction of the Stars 'and Stripes they had been for generations held—by their desperate fidelity and splendid soldiership, such as at Fort WagDer and Port Hudson gave to their bayonets an irresistible electricity, the blapk heroes of the Union army have not only entitled themselves to liberty but to citizenship, and the Damoorat who would deny them the|rights for which their wounds and glorified colors so eloquently plead, is unworthy to participate in the greatness of the nation, whose authority these disfranchised soldiers did so much to vindicate In speaking thus I am well aware that I run counter to the prejudices of the Conservative politician, the great e;id and aim of whose statesmanship, or whatever else his public talk and labors may be called, is to consecrate the errors or misfortunes of the past, and in voke the sanctions of public law and an aus tere patriotism to stamp the civil disabilities and social persecution of the black with a fa tal immortality. But in speaking of what I conceive should be the duties and relations of Irishmen to the United States, a reference to tbe new political conditions, upon which they have to plant themselves squarely, is unavoida ble , aud if | inpur (he ditapppebatien of any enlightened and patriotic gentleman in giving a frank expression to my convictions, all I can say is that I believe the world moves, and I don’t intend to stand still and be overwhelmed as a fossil in its progress. The independence I assert for myself I earnestly entreat every one of my countrymen in America to culti vate. It is full time for them to emancipate themselves from the control of the politicians who have held them in an ignoble captivity fof many years, and to whose vulgar dictation they surrender the intelligence and high spirit which should be as precious to them as their citizenship. Indeed, noble as this citizenship naturally is, it becomes a reproach when the spirit it should inspire, the manhood which should aepompany it, tbe healthy boldness of mip4 that belongs to if, and should neyer peasp to nourish, adorn and dignify it, is compro mised in political servility, and the blind dis cipline of party usurps the prerogatives of an independent man.—St. Paul Rimes, 7th.

Horrible Doings of the Bandit Corona—The Republicans in a Bad Pit Aeio York Hal ing Companies. Mazatlan, Jnly 19, 1865. The French have been unable to make any headway because the ramy season prevents them from venturing into the interior with all their trains, and only small divisions of ‘ ‘con tra-guerrillas” have been scouring the country in search of evil-doers. Meanwhile Corona (the bandit, as he is called) and his tool, Rube, the newly appointed “Governor” of Sinaloa, have carried on their high-handed rule among the peaceable people of our mountain districts, and in the most san guinary manner. From every inhabitant of any means, heavy contributions are levied. At Canelas and Tamasula, Corona went so far as to shoot 17 of the principal residents who were unable or unwilling to pay the forced loan for which they were set down. One of these 17 was a Chileno of high standing. Of course the whole population is exasperated at such outrageous conduct, and ex-President Rosales has immediately set out from Sinaloa, with all his troops, to fight Corona. By this time the fate of one or the other will be decided, and the French will consequently have less work to do when tbe time of action arrives. Rube is still at Cullacan, and Corona has ad vanced with his 1,000 cut throats to the Sierra of Tapia and Santiago Paposquiaro, which looks almost like a flight. The communication with Durango remains still interrupted. No money transports have been able to come down, and no goods could be sent up. Tbe fact is that General Saligny could not spare any troops for escorts, as the campaign against Chihuahua hag commenced in good earnest since Jnarcz has remained without an army, bis right hand, Negrete, having been cut off and defeated near Mon terey. From Guaymas the reports are a little more flattering to the lovers of peace. Gen. Pas- quiera was at Hermosville, with only about 900 men, and Garcia Morales (the ex-Governor of Sinoloa) at Ures, with about 700. Though these Republican champions have nothing to fear at present, they are in a bad fix. T’EAIMESMEE. Changes in Command—Another Phase of the Wheeler-Blackburn Affrag—A Duel Sgueklt- ed—.1 crests oj Jix-lb.be.ls. Nashville, Aug. 24, 1865. Brig. Gen. Doolittle, commanding post, has been ordered to report to Gen. Canhy, at New Orleans. Col. W. A. Shafter, of the 17th United States Colored Infantry, succeeds him as post commander. Yesterday morning Major Baker, of General Wheeler's staff, challenged Col. Blackburn, which was politely declined. Gen. Doolittle, hearing of the affair, ordered Major Baker and Col. Woolfolk, who carried the message, to leave the city by 12 o’clock, which order was promptly obeyed. Wm. N. Johnson, formerly correspondent of the Herald, who was imprisoned for three years for defrauding the Government, has been ordered to be released by Gen. Thomas on payment of the money. T. T. Bowers, lately discharged from mili tary prison for horse-stealing, returned to the jail for the purpose of shooting Mr. McNamie, the assistant sheriff. McNamie tired at him and mortally wounded him, the ball entering the abdomen. A special dispatch to the Press and Times, from Knoxville, states that Brig. Gen. Jack- son, of the Rebel army, and Linden G. Hays, Rebel Senator from Tennessee, were arrested at Wythesville, Va., by Marshal Cbambley, of Nashville. Hea»T Penally. From a general order published at Augusta we learn that charges and specifications were preferred against Messrs. Thos. S, Metcalf and Leopold Cobn, for attempting to bribe an offi cer of tbe U. S. Army, Brevet Brigadier Gen eral C. H. Grosvenor, Provost Marshal Gen eral, by offering him two hundred thousand dollars to decide a certain question as to the title of a lot of cotton in their favor. Cohn made the following endorsement on the oopy of the charges and specifications, to-wit ; “Augusta, Ga., Aug. 10th, 1865. “I admit the truth of the charges and speci fications contained herein, in every particular, and appeal to Maj. Gen. Steedman for clemen cy in my behalf. “(Signed) L. Coiut.” Mr. Metcalf disclaimeJ in writing ail inten tion to offer any bribe in connection with Cohn. An appeal having been made to Gen. Steed- tpan fqr clemency, by both parties, he decided as follows . I. That the charges and specifications now pending in said action be withdrawn, and the said Cohn and Metcalf be released from arrest and custody. II. That said Leopold Cohn shall leave the Department of Georgia within twenty-four hours, to wit: on or before 12 o’clock M. of fhe 12th day of August, 1865, and take up his residence at’ a point not nearer Augusta than Charleston, S.

Fremont, at the head of a company of Eastern men, is about to purchase an extensive tract of mineral lands in this State, with the view of erecting an establishment in this city for the maou aoture of railroad iron. The Democrat'a Lawrence special says that Mr. Butterfield, tho Superintendent of Butterfield’s Overland Dispatch, has completed the arrange ments for the transportation of freight from Law rence to New Mexico and Arizona, and will send coaches from Lawrence to Denver City, via Smoky Hill route as soon as the Missouri and Pacific Railroad is oompleted. The Government Commissioners to tho Grand Indian Council have arrived at Leavenworth. Colton Novements. The receipts of cotton at this port are rapidly approaching the volume of five years ago. Since August 1, the imports have been 47,869 bales; waich is at the rate of 830,000 bales per annum. Since tbe 1st of September, 1S64, 366,563 bales ha-ve been received at this port; but of that amount 171,182 bales have been reoeived since May 1.— Considering tbe condition of the transportation routes in the South. thi3 must bo regarded as a very liberal movement, betokening the existence of a large supply in the South. At present, the supply at the Southern ports is gaining upon the means of transportation, and stocks are aconmu. latiDg rapidly. During the week ending August 11, the receipts at New Orleans were 24,321 bales, and the exports only 8,S10 bales. For the week ending August!, the arrivals at Mobile were 8,664 bales, and the exports 3,664 bales. This process of accumulation is progressing at all the ports, and has already accumulated a stook at tbe seve. ral Beaboard markets of more than a quarter of a million bales. The stocks at the ports, at the latest dates, stood thus ; Bales. At New Orleans, on hand and on shipboard 81,509 At Mobile, on hand and on shipboard 04.153 At New York, stock ...8500s At other ports, stock 46,000 275,721 It is significant that the present stock of cotton in New Orleans is much larger than it has been in ordinary years, at tho same period, as will ap pear from the following comparison ; Stock on hand and on shipboard at New Orleans, Ang. 10: Bales. 1905 81,568 1961 9,865 I960 54 158 1950 31,411 1958 34,594 Thus it appears that the stock at New Orleans is 50,000 bales larger than the average, at the same period, during the four years preceding the war. The stock at New York is 25,000 bales more than the total stock in the Northern ports, in August, during the years just preceding the rebellion. . It must be remembered that we have this condition of affairs while the Southern rail roads and steamboats are comparatively use less for purposes of cotton transportation. What may we expect as the roads become grad ually repaired, and when the rainy season renders the interior rivers navigable ? All re ports from the South represent the avenues of transportation as blockaded with cotton. The staple is coming out from its hiding places in the remote villages, whither it has been re moved to escape the detection of both rebel and Federal troops, and the supply appears likely to exceed the estimates of even the Southern people themselves. The very large influx into the Southern ports, within a period so com paratively short, certainly gives no counte nance to the estimates of 1,500,000 bales, which have been so freely circulated, no doubt for market purposes. We cannot but think that those who have, based their operations upon that limited estimate, will find themselves se riously deceived , nor is it easily apparent how the present quotations of 45c. for middling up land cotton can be long sustained, in face of the rapid accumulation of stock above indica ted.—,V. 1'. Chin. Ado- Excellent Am ice.—The Eufau a News gives the following advice to young men who have re turned from the war. It says that among the other ill effects of the war, is the faot, that it kept a large number of our young men from pursuing a regular course of study. Many of them have come home wi h the idea that they are too old to improve in this respect. The habits engendered by the war are not favorable to study, and hence we see a great disinclination on the part of our young soldiers to commence it. Now is the op portunity to improve their lost time—while busi ness is uncertain and before regular employments are resumed. We exhort our young men to attend to thi9 matter. If they negleot it, it will be a source of regret for the remainder of their lives. They can do this without going regularly to school—in fact, without any instructor, if they will only mill it. Tho boys who, for four years, stood the hardships and exposure of camp life, ought to be equal to almost any emergency. Let them do justice to antecedents, and do all they can to prepare themselves for the great battle of life which is now before them.
