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, , Savannah,,Ga., Oot. 11, I860: RECEPTION OF NiGRO TROOPS The First District of Columbia Regiment at Home. Great Enthusiasm Among Colored People- the 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 The troops then returned *0 Campbell Hos pital, where they partook of the abnodaot hospi 1C Georgia State Convention.

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.
