REPUBLICAN PHILOSOPH *.▼*{«*r»

SJVTH. . '
In n fecenL W.ter 3fr. Horace Greeley » n
' ported tolmvff Mid. substantial* that tL
• great d,*ider„tum for the welfare 6\ the * bole
country, North and South, is the very best
understanding posable between the whites
and blacks of the South. Mr. Greeley is
philosopher and wise economist, ns well as
itadical in politics. He has lucid moments
in his general role of fanatical madness, and
never fails to signalise them by the announce
ment of some valuable principle or truth.
The proposition of Mr. Greeley is sclf-evi
dent to every thoughtful mind There can
be no prosperity where there is war between
capital and lal>or. There mnst be perfect ac
cord between the two, or else all industry
must pine and eventually perish. When la
bor is free to, seek its own channels,
jr no channels at all, thore must be
a perfect understanding between it and capi
tal, otherwise they cannot work together in
harmony, and, ss a consequence, our prosper
ity and progress are at an end. We of the
South have n sad practical knowledge of the
truth of this doctrine.
Mr. Greeley Ib also correct in bis implica
tion that all sections of the country are mu
tually interested in the prosperity of the rest
Society is like the human body: you cannot
afflict or maim any member cf it without all
tho parts becoming affected. There are arte
ries and veins that ramify tlirouguont the so
cial, just as they do in tbo human, system, and
stagnation anywhere affects the whole body.
You can no more paralyse or destroy the in
dustry of the South without striking a blow
at the prosperity of the North, than you can
cut off a man’s foot without giving pain to
his whole corporeal system. The case is even
stronger when wc apply the principle ofsjm
patby to our political condition. While the
North manufactures, the South is the great
producer of the rnw material that keeps the
machinery of the North and ot the world in
motion, and hence, with prostration here, the
manufacturing industry of all the leading
nations, and especially our own, mast suffer
to a greater or less extent.
These principles being correct, and of
general recognition among the intelligent men
of all countries, and often reiterated in the
saner portion of the Republican press at tiie
North, how is it, we would ask, that the
policy ot tho great majority of the
Northern people is directly antagonistic
to them t How does it happen that their
whole course of argument and legislation Is
directed to an otter alienation and conflict
between capital and labor at the South t—
Every measure they have inaugurated since
the close of the war tends to tho destruction
of all good feeling and understanding be
tween the two races at the South,
and if they succeed in some noty under
consideration, they will not only have
overthrown all productive industry
amongst us, but they will have inaugu
rated hostile interests and sympathies and a
war of races. There can be no doubt of this
in the mind of any intelligent observer of
events. Already, with the measures now in
force, and the influence exerted by Northern
institutions and emissaries, the negro. In
many sections of the South has become al
most worthless as a laborer. In bis best
estate, he is not pertnrming more than two-
thirds the work of a slave, and in very many
sections the proportion is still less and grad
ually descending down to absolute idleness.
On the coast, where they have had much in
tercourse with the Federal army, and in ma
ny places been free from all control nearly
since the commencement of the war,
■ueb are their ideas of the dignity ol a f reed-
man that the whites cannot hire them at any
price; they will work in copartnership for a
share of the crop, with the understanding
that they work and play when they please,
but in no other way. The conse
quence is that production has fallen off
from two-thirds to three-fourths. Their
engagements too extend only to the planting,
cultivation and harvesting,nt the crop. Other
work about the farm, such as clearing, fenc
ing, ditching, Ac., &c„ to be done at all,
must be paid for as extra. The consequence
i«J there can be no prosperity, no progress,
bnt everything must retrograde. Some of
the most valuablegcotton and rice plantations
in the State are either worked but little or
wholly abandoned, just on account of the un
certainty and inefficiency of negro labor—
that labor that, under Northern philosophy,
was to become so vastly more productive un
der the voluntary system of service! Not
only our own people are discouraged, but we
have recently talked with a number of North
ern gentlemen who came to the State to jtlant,
and, after a year’s experience, have given up
the negro as hopeless.
Wc now ask, what is to become of South
ern as well as Northern prosperity, if this
Radical war is to be kept up, destroying from
day to day the harmonious relations between
capital and labor in the Southern States f
Let tho interest and common sense of the
Northern people combine and answer the
question. .

Among tho documents that accompanied
the President's. Message on its transmission
to Congress was the Report of the C omniis-
sioner of Agriculture, which bears date No
vember 20tb. The following extract will he
found interesting:
A reference to the condition of tbo crops
of I860 may properly be made at this time,
though it is too early to obtain complete re
turns of corn and cotton, and a lew other
products.
The regularly monthly crop returns of the
statistical division of this Department have
hitherto included only the States east of the
Rocky Mountains and north of Virginia.
Tennnessec and Arkansas. Hereafter all will
be included except, the Pacific States, from
which returns cannotHte deceived in scaspn to
go into current monthly exhibits with the
other States. Due attention will be given,
however, to the collection of agricultural sta
tistics of these new, productive and progres
sivc States, with their peculiar and excep
tional industries, from wnich so much is ex
pected in the futuredevelopmentof the coun
try’s resources. *t • •
The wheat crop ot 1863 in the twenty two
States reported was very large; in 1864, the
intimate was, in round numbers, 13,000,000
bushels less, or 160,000,000; in 1866, 148,-
000,000; pnd the present estimate is still
further reduced to 143,000,000. Returns
from the eleven Southern States, so far as re
ceived, warrant an estimate of 17,000.000 for
that section. Texas has produced a large
crop; the other Southern States less than
halt the average product. The crop of the
Pacific States is very heavy, leaving afar
greater surplus lor export than the entire
amount of the crop of 1800. From all the
data received in the Department the total
amount of wheat produced in 1866 may be
estimated at 180,000,000 bushels. The crop
of 1859 was 173,000,000, and that of the pre
sent year, at the ratio of increase from 1830
to 1860, should have reached 242,000,000.—
TJio supply is about five bushels to each in
habitant, or half a bushel less than in 1859.
The corn crop is moderately laige in qttan-
tiiy, but deficient in quality, and may be es
timated at 880,000,000 bushels, about 40,000,-
000 more than that of 1850. It would have
been an excessive product but for the retard
ing influence of cool and rainy weather, and
theconsequent damage by frosts. In some
Southern States a very small yield is report
ed, while in Texas the quantity is more than
an average. In the Northwestern States the
injury lrom early frosts was severe. While
there will be a sufficiency of food for man, the
supplies for the domestic animals will be un
usually abundant. The bay crop, slightly
deficient in some sections, is large in others,
and of more than average quality; and the
estimated total products of oats is sixty per
cent, greater than in 1859. The products of
gardens and the yield of potatoes and other
roots arc also in excess of former years. .,
The cotton crop has suffered from labor
derangements, alternate rains and droughts,
infects, and the previous neglected condition
of the lands. Before the picking commenc
ed, the indications, from official data, point
ed to somewhat more than one-third of the
crop of 1839. Ravages of insects and other
causes haVerinco rendered probable a reduc
tion to 1,750,000 bah s of 400 pounds each.
A special effort has been made to secure an
estimate of the farm stock of the South
for 1860. Returns have been sufficiently full
to warrant a preliminary estimate with some
degree of confidence, which would give a re
sult, in comparison with the census of 1860,
as follows: Horses, 68 percent; mules, 70
per cent.; cattle, 65 per cent.; sheep, 80 per
cent; hogs, 56 per cent. These estimates for
States are as follows :

From the Baltimore Catholic Mirror.)
As our readers are aware, the prelates late
ly assembled in council sent a' cordial greet
ing to His Holiness through the Atlantic
telegraph. The wording of the telegram was
as follows. It left Baltimore on the 9th of
October, and reached Rome the same after
noon, in about Iff minutes, making allowance
for difference of time.
“Seven Archbishops and forty Bishops,
met in council, unanimously salute your Ho
liness, wishing yon long life, with the preser
vation of ail the ancient and sacred rights of
the Holy See.”
This dispatch carried joy and consolation
to the afflicted heart of the Pontiff, as appears
from the following letter, addressed by bis
direction to our Most Rev. Archbishop by
Cardinal Barnabo, dated Oct. 24;
“The telegram which the Bishops of the
States of the American Union, assembled in
council, bad the happy thought to address to
the Holy Father, proved to bo of great com
fort and consolation to His Holiness; and so
highly did he appreciate its Bpirit, that he
ordered it to be immediately published in the
official journal of Rome, for the edification
of bis Roman people and of the, faithful at
ilis Holiness looks with interest for the acts
and decrees of the Plenary. Council, which
he expects to receive in due time, and from
which he hopes a new impulse and con
tinued increase to religion in the United
States will result He has, however, directed
me to express directly to your amplitude,
and through you to all your colleagues, his
great pleasure, and to request you to thank
them for The interest they have taken nnd
still take in defending the Holy Sec and in
vindicating its contested rights. Moreover,
His Holiness has learned with satisfaction
that the Papal loan is succeeding, also,
through the co-operation of the American
Episcopate. tt« *l.nnks them particular!*
for this, and nourishes the hope that such
co-operation will not cause, and that thence a
prosperous result may be obtained. In the
meantime, I pray the Lord that He long pre
