But few of them are mechanics, and those
who have trade* are but indefferent workmen
and can’t compete with the white mechanics.
Agricultural pursuits are the best for them, and
to them as far as possible should be kept. I
do not think that in a majority of cases (indeed
in but few) they will do well if they have farms
to themselves. Their honses would st>on be
the resort of theives and banditti, and much
evil would ensue.
The time will come (but not yet) when it will
be for their welfare to work farms for themselves.
For this we should wait in patience, and le*
them better realize their condition and interests.
My opinion is that they had better—for them
selves and the world at large—be worked as
hired men on plantations, under proper contracts,
to be approved by the Bureau, and that the
Bureau have power in some way to oompel both
parties to fulfill faithfully their contracts. Bnt
here arises a difficulty which I alluded to in the
first part ot my letter, viz : The planters don’t
know kow to manage free labor, nor do the ne
groes know bow to work ae free men; and again,
a man nnaeqaainted with the cnltnre of cottoD
and rice, cannot, under the most favorable cir
cumstances make good crops. My idea, then, is
that the following arrangement,so far as practica
ble, would be a good one. Let the freedmen hire
themselves to the planter—the larger the num
ber together the better, as it would afford better
opportunities for schooling the children—and as
the planters do not know how to manage tree
labor, let some Northern man go in with him
and control the labor—tha Southern man would
only instruct the Northern man as to the mode
and manner of cultivating the crop, whilst the
laborer would bRentirely controlled and directed
by the Northern mah. Let both men be equally
interested in the net proceeds ot the plantation*
and in my judgment, the scheme would work well
for all concerned—black and white.
If the Southern man attempts to manage free
labour he will tail. If a Northern man plants
cotton without Southern direction, he will proba
bly not succeed tor want ot experience. Besides,
an arrangement of this kind would tend to re
store good feeling between North and South—
and heal sectional prejudice, which I am .sure
you admit to be a desideratum. To work free
labor the planters must have means at hand to
purchase provisions and pay the laborers.
The results of the war have entirely deprived
many of thi3. It would be an act of charity to
the planters in this condition, and through them
to the negro, it a society or company were
formed at the North, where capital is abundant,
whose business it would be to lender advance
sufficient funds to planters for this purpose. The
society or company could be made perfectly sate
in the advance by having a lien, not ooly upon
the crop, but also upon the land. Indeed, tbe
company might make it profitable to take a half
interest in the crop where the advance is made
The investment could always be made safe and
paying. Of course tue company would have to
be particular in getting the right kind of men,
and there would be no difficulty iu this. There
is much said about introducing white labor
South. Will this, it successful, injure the pros
pects of the negro ? I think not. There are
lands enough uncultivated and uncleared at the
South to employ twenty times the amount ot
labor now here. There is now enough and to
spare for all, and if a class of intelligent and in
dustrious white laborers be mingled in the pop
ulation, it will more than anything else tend to
stimulate and encourage the negro.
Already I perceive many, very many negroes
think labor beneath their dignity—but if they
see the white mau diligent with plow, hoe and
harrow, they will feel it no degradation to work
too. Another opinion I would advance, and it
is done after much reflection and a pretty
thorough knowledge of the negro character.
It is that it will be injurious to them to attempt
non- to elevate their social and political status.
The cbaDge has been too sudden and too great
already, and their interest demands that they
be let alone, where they now are, till by edu
cation and experience they better understand
their duties to society and the country. An
intelligent white, foreigner is not admitted to
the right of citizenship till after four years,pro
bation, and can the negro, just emerging from
barbarism, be tjt to enter at once upon their
duties ? On this subject my mind is very clear.
The time for them will come, but they
should patiently wait and fit themselves for
their new duties. The interest of the Month
now demands the elevation of the negro char
acter, and we should to a man unite with the
North in this good work. This elevation can
ooly be brought about by teaching them industri
ous and frugal habits, and educating them and
giving them the best religions and moral in
struction. The South now is more interested
iu this than the North, but the Sooth has net
the means of helping pecuniarily, and this
must devolve upon the North. But the North
should pursue a course which would tend as
much as possible to conciliate and bring about
a union of effort on the part of the Sooth.
This can and ought to he done. The re
sponsibilities of the whole country towards
these people are now greater than ever. Let
all nnite in this work for the good of tbe whole,
black and white, for their interests are indenti
on!.
The Snath cannot now be expected to con
tribute money to this objact—.they oannot spare,
they don’t possess it. Bat if the North handle
the matter cautiously—avoid anything that will,
produce a spirit of antagonism the „biU
and black races of the South, and so conduct
matters that the Northern abolitionists will no
longer be viewed as an enemy to the Southern
white man, and the South will heartily co-ope
rate in the work. With slavery, abolition dies—
slavery extinct, there is no slavery to abolish.
They die together, and these being no slavery,
and no abolitions the North een new, by a little
prndent management, enlist tbe feelings of the
South, in hehall of the colored nee, and the
North would find in the South able eomdjotors in
the cause Indeed, I know nothing that will
tend more to retard the negro in their advance
ment than an unfriendly feeling on the ^art of
the Sooth. They are here in our midst and of
eaatse we must exercise a mighty influence over
their future destiny. Let the NorthernVI dis
continue the' -publication of papers, tracts,
letters, or anything else that may canse unpleas
ant feelings on the part of the South. The North
has cooqnored and ea* afford to conciliate, cepe.
cially when by so doing a greet good trey be at
tained. Oar interests now are one—they are no
longer antagonistic, and why not work together ?
I assure yon this can be brought about, only by
the parsnit of sneh a coarse that the South will
see and feel that tbe North is a friend to the
white man as well and as much as to the black
man. My opinion then amounts to this—edu
cate the yonng—bnt little can be done in thia way
for those who are advanced in life. Employ
adnlts as much as possible in the country away
from oities. Get them to labor in gangs—the
larger the better, as it affords better opportunity
for instructing young and old.
Arrange, as far as possible, for the labor to be
managed by Northern men, jointly interested
with the planter.
Let all,North and South,endeavor to restore en
tire harmony of feeling and unity of interest be
tween the different section;—indeed, put down and
crash oat all sectional feeling.
Please excuse the length of this letter. It bes
extended far beyond what I first intende-L But
my interest in tbe subject, and a conviction of its
importance, has impelled me to write more than
I first intended.
Hoping that we may all be directed aright in
this great matter,
I remain, very truly yours, ,

THE REGIXEXT VISITS
SOT.
PRESIDETT JOHT-
He Welcome!, Congratulates, Thank a
and Adviser* Them.
Washixotox, Tuesday, Oct. 10.
The First District of Columbia Colored Regi
ment marched from their quarters in Campbell
Hospital to the Executive Mansion, where they
were reviewed by the President, who addressed
them as follows:
Mr Friends : My object in presenting myself
before you on this occasion is simply to thank
yon, members of one of the colored regiments
which have been in the service of the country, to
sustain and carry its. banners and its laws tri
umphantly in every part of this broad land. I
repeat that I appear before you on the present
occasion merely to tender you my thanks for the
compliment you have paid me on your return
home, to again be associated with your friends
and your relations, and thoseyou hold most sacred
and dear. I repeat, I have but little to say. It
being usual in this government and in most
of the other governments to have colored
troops engaged in their service, yon have gone
forth, as events have shown, anil served with
patience and indurance in the cause of your
country. This is your country as well as any
body else's country. [Cheers.] This is the
country in which yon expect to live, and in
which you should expect to do something by
your example in civil life as you have done in
the field. This country is fooijded upon the
principles of equality, and at the same time the
standard by which persons are to be estimated
is according to their merit and their worth; and
you have observed, no doubt, that for him who
does his duty faithfully and honestly, there is
always a just public judgment that will ap
preciate and measure out to b|m bis proper
reward. I know that there is mncb well cal
culated in the government and since the late
rebellion commenced, to excite the white
against thejblack and.the black against the white
man. There are things you should all under
stand, and at the same time prepare yourself
for what is before yon. Upon the return of
peace and the surrender of the enemies of the
country, it should be the duty of every patriot
and every one who calls himself a Christian to
remember that with the termination of the war
his resentments should cease, that angry feel
ings should subside, and that every men should
become calm and tranquil, and be prepared for
wbat is before him. This js another part of
your mission. V°u have been engaged inXhc
effort to sustain your country in the past, nut
the future is more important to you than the
period in which you have just been engaged.
One great question has been settled in this
government, and that is tbe question of slave
ry. The institution of slavery made war
against the United States, and the United
States has lifted its strong arm in vindi
cation of the government and of free govern
ment; and in lifting that arm, and appealing
to tbe God of Battles, it has been decided that
the institution of slavery mast go down
[Cheers.]
flRS has been done; and the Goddess of
Liberty, in bearing witness over many of our
battle-fields sinco the struggle commenced, has
made the loftiest flight, and proclaimed that
true liberty has been established upon a more
permanent and enduring basis than heretofore.
[Applause.] Bnt this is not all; and as you
have paid me the compliment to call upon me,
I shall take the privilege of saying onj or two
words, as I am before you. I repeat that it is
not all. Now, when the sword is returned to
its scabbard, when your arms are reverse^,
and tbe olive braoch of peace is extended, as I
remarked before, resentment and revenge
should subside. Then what is to follow ? You
do understand, no doubt, e nd if yon da not you
cannot understand too soon, that simple liberty
does not mean ihe privilege of going into Ihe
battle-field, or into tbe service of the country
as a soldier. It means other things as well
and now, when you have bri'HcVn your arms’
27c oiner objects of equal importance be-
fore you Now that the government baa tri
umphantly passed through this rebellion, after
the moat gigantic battles the world ever saw,
the problem is before you, and it is best that
yoa should understand it; and, therefore, I
speak simply and plainly. Will yon now, when
yon have returned from the army of the United
gates, and take tbe position of the citizen;
when yon have returned to the associations of
peace, will yon give evidence to the world that
yon are capable and competent to govern your-
sdves t That is wh it yon will have to do.
Liberty is not a mere idea; a mere vagary. It
is an idea or it is a reality ; and when you come
to examine this question of liberty, yon will not
be mistaken in e mere idee for the reality. It
Riyw not consist in idleness. Liberty does not
consist in doing all things as we please, and
there can be no liberty without law. In a
government of freedom and of liberty [here
most be law aqd there most be obedience and
sutimission to tbe law, without regard to color.
of peace with industry and with economy ; and
that being done, all those who have been in
dustrious and economical are permitted to ap
propriate and enjoy the products of their own
labor. [Cheers.] This is one of the great
blessings of freedom ; and hence we might ask
the question, and answer it by stating that
liberty means freedom to work and oojov the
products of your own labor. You will soon be
mustered out of ibe ranks. It is. for you to
establish tbe great fact that you are fit and quali
fied to be free. Hence, freedom is not a
mere idea, but is something that exists in fact.
Freedom is not simply the privilege to live in
idleness : liberty does not mean simply to resort
to the low saloons aod other places of disreputa
ble character. Freedom ami liberty do not mean
that the people ought to live m licentiousness,
but liberty means simply to be industri
ous, to be virtuous, to be upright in all
our dealings and relations with men ; and
to those dow before me, members 01 the
first regiment of colored volunteers from the
District of Columbia and the Capital of the
United States, I have to sty that a great deal
depends upon yoursalves. Aou must give evi
dence that you are competent for the rights that
the government has guaranteed to you. Hence
forth each and all of you.must be measured ac
cording to your merit. II one man is more
meritorious than the other, they cannot be
equals; and he is tbe most exalted that is the
most meritorious without regard to color. And
the idea of having a law passed in the morning
that will make a white man a black man before
night, and a black man a white map. belore day,
is absurd. That is Dot the standard. It is your
own conduct; it is your own merit; it is the de
velopment of your own talents and of your own
intellectual and moral qualities. Let this then
be your course ; adopt a system of morality. Ab
stain from all licentiousness. And let me say
one thing here, for I am going to talk plain. I
have lived in a Southern State all ray life aDd
know wbat has too often been ihe case. There
is one thing yon should esteem higher and more
supreme than almost all others ; and that is the
solemn contract with all the penalties in the as
sociation of married life. Mrn and women should
abstain from those qualities and habits that too
frequently follow a war. Inculcate amODg your
children and among your associations notwith
standing you are just back from the army ot the
United States, that virtue, that merit, that in
telligence are the standards to be observed,
and those which you are determined to
maintain during vour future lives.—
This is the wav to make white men black and
black men white. fCheers.] He that is most
meritorious and virtuous and intellectual and
well-informed, must stand highest without re-
S ard to color. It is tbe very basis upon which
eaven rests itself. Each individual takes his
degree in the snblimer and more exalted regions
in proportion to his merits and his virtue. Then
I shall say . „
your homes and firesides after feeling conscious
and proud of having faithfully discharged your
duty, returning wiih the determination that you
will perform your duty in the future as you have
in tbe past, abstain from all those bickermgsand
jealousies and revengeful feelings which too often
spring up between different laces. There is a
great problem before us, and I may as well allude
to it here in this connection ; and tbqt i3 whether
this race can be incorporated and mixed with the
people of the United States, to be made a har
monious and permanent iugredient in the pop
ulation. This is a problem not yet settled,
but we are in tbe right line to do so.—
Slavery raised its head against the govern
ment, and the government raised its strong
arm and struck it to the ground. So
that part of the problem is settled; the insti
tution of slavery is overthrown. But another
part remains to be solved, and that is, Can four
millions of people, raised as they have been
with all tbe prejudices of the whites, can they
take their places in the commnnity and be
made to work harmoniously and congruously
in our system ? This is a problem to be con
sidered. Are the digestive powers of the
American Government sufficient to receive this
element in a new shape, and digest and make
it work healthfully upon tha system that has
incorporated it ? This is the question to be
determined. Let us make the experiment, and
make it in good faith. If that cannot be done,
there is another problem before us. If we
have to become a separate and distinct people,
(althongh I trust that the system can be made
to work harmoniously, and the great problem
will be settled without going any further;) if it
should be so lhat the two races cannot agree
and live in peace and prosperity, and tbe laws
of Providence require that they should be
separated—in that event, iooking to the far-
distant fu’ure and trnstiug that it may never
come; if it should come, Providence, that
works mysteriously but unerringly and cer
tainly, will point out the way, and the mode,
and the manner by which these people are to
be separated, and to be taken to their lands of in
heritance and promise; for such a one is before
them. Hence we are making the experiment.
Hence let me impress upon you tbe importance
of controlling your passions, developing your
intellect, and of applying your physical powers
to-the industrial interests at the country; and
that is the true process by which this question
can he settled,
Be patient persevering and forbearing, and
you will help to solve the problem. Make for
yourselves a reputation in this cause as you have
won tor yourselves a reputation m the cause in
which you have been engaged. Iu speaking to
the members of this regiment I want them to
understand that so far as 1 am concerned I do
not assume or pretend that I am stronger than
the la vs, of course, of nature, or that I am wiser
than Providence itself. It is our duty to try and
discover what those great laws are which five at
tbe foundation of alt things, and having dis
covered wb.qt they are, conform oor actions and
oar conduct to them, and to the will ot God who
ruletb all things. He bolds the destinies of na
tions in the palm of His band ; and He will solve
the question and rescue these people fiotn the
difficulties that have so long surrounded them.
Then let ns be patient, industrious and persever
ing. Let us develop aDy intellectual and moral
worth. I trust what ] have said nday be under
stood and appreciated. Go to your homes and
lead peaceful, prosperous and happy lives, in
peace with all men. Give utterance to no word
that would cause dissensions ; but do that which
will be creditable to yourselves anfl to jour
country. To the officers who have led aDd so
noblv commanded you in the field I also return
my thanks for the compliment yon have confer
red upon me

Nashville, October ft,
The papers in the case of Champ Ferguson,

Liverpool Corns News.—A tetter received in
Charleston throws some light upon the lste cotton
movement in England. Mr. Payne, the (gent of
theSoathero Export and Import Company writes
from Liverpool that the Eaglisb b*4 been esti
mating the old crop on hand at 3,000,ntH> bales,
that (heir estimate had finally fallen to 2,000,000,
which is still thought, by moat persons in the
Sontb, to be maeh above the mark.- They also
ealealated tbe growing erop at 1,500,000 bales.
The late news which had re,shed Liverpool from
this side, giving something like a truthful idea
of the limited amount of the staple In this coun-

BISHOP WILMHR SUSPENDED BY GEN. THOMAS.
An order has been issued from the head
quarters of the military department of Ala
bama which is likely to cceate a sensation
among the members of the Protestant Episco
pal Churches of that State. This church, as is
well known, has an established form of prayer
to be used fur the President of the United States
and all in civil authority. During the rebel.
Hon the prayer was changed to one for tbe
President of the Confederate States, and so
altered was used iu tbe Protestant Episcopal
Diocese of Alabama. Since tbe overthrow of
the rebellion the prayer has been omitted alto
gether in the Episcopal Chnrcbes of Alabama.
This omission was recommended by Right Rev.
H. Wilmer, Bishop of Alabama.
These facts having been brought to the knowl
edge of General Thomas, an order has been
issued directing that the said Richard Wilmer,
Bishop of the Protestant Episcopal Church of
tbe Diocese of Alabama, and tbe clergy of said
diocese, be suspended from their functions, and
forbidden to preach or perform divine service,
and that their places of worship be closed until
said Bishop ant] clergy return to their alle-
giance to toe United States Government and
give evidence of their loyalty by offering to re
sume the use of prayer for tbe President, and
taking the oath proscribed ip tfio ampestv
proclamation.
Abant Cotton.
Cairo, October 10.
Tbe steamer Tycoon, from Memphis for
Louisville, with 1,500 bales of Cotton, was
burned last night at Little Prairie BeDd. No
lives were lost.
Texas papers estimate that there will not be
more than half a crop; Tbe cotton of that
State that was raised by the Germans, is said
to be cleaner and of fairer quality than that
grown by slaves.
It is estimated that 25,000 bales of cotton
will be procured this year along the liqe of ihe
