Free Labor iu the South.
The substitution of free for slave' labor
In the South is rapidly progressing. When
it is considered that by the confession of
the planters in all the old slave States
they could make no profit, except by the
sale of the :increase of their slaves '
and
that therefore their only successful and
remunerative crop was human flesh, it
will readily be conceded that no new sys
ttm Can be worse than the old one. Any
change, short of the absolute starvation
of the population of an area of country
capable of sustaining more than ten times
its present:number of inhabitants, must be
an improvement.
Now that the planters are brought to a
practical test of the question, and forced to
Meet the issue squarely, they are becoming
convinced that in all the upland regions of
the South, and in all districts freed from
malarious influences, free labor will be in
finitely more profitable than slave labor.
The pride, ambition, and energy of North
ern farmers as contrasted with the slug
gishness and neglect which prevailed on
host of the Southern plantations, is a etrik
lag proof of this. Scarcely a county in
the North does not boast of an agricultural
.. , nciety, that year after year gives an annual
exhibition at which the sturdy yeomanry
compete for prizes given for improved
Stock, enhanced crops, superior vegetables,
and pre-eminence in the arts appertaining
to agriculture. The whole population is
incited by these displays, and by the spirit
of which they are merely an outward ma
hifestation, to persistent struggles for ad
vancement and increased production ; so
that there are few neighborhoods in Penn
sylvania to-day where one hundred acres
of arable land do not yield greater harvests
than were gathered from three hundred
acres fifty years ago. I n many districts of
the South the reverse of this picture is true.
'There very few agricultural societies exist.
The farms grow poorer and poorer year
f•er year, until they are abandoned as bar
ren, and new territory is selected for a si
oiler devastation. The great incentives
which prompt to a constant study of the
soil and judicious application of manures
and new crops are wanting, except with a
feW large landholders ; and a periodical
zale of " likely field hands" to the planters
c. , 1 the Southwest has been the only practi
.uthle means of staving off ruin left to
4111 3 , owners of large plantations.
Not only has the change from slave to
frte labor been attended with the happiest
`" c ' ilt tiliences in the Northern States, but
even in. Eastern Virginia, where the hew
system has been in, operation for several
Years, equally encouraging results have
already been attained. HOn. Joon! SR-

Similar. advantages may be fairly and
rationally expected throughout the whole
South, except in the lowland regions, which
have heretofore been profitably devoted to
the growth of rice, sugar, and cotton.
About these there is a diversity of opinion,
many contending that to secure their suc
cessful cultivation, the absolute control and
ownership of the laborer, giVen by slavery,
is indispensable. This is the did pro
slavery argureent ; the theory relied upon
for the justification and perpetuation of the
"peculiar institution." If we granted it to
be true, it would be difficult to discover,
even in the Valuable products of the low
land districts, a sufficient compensation for
the debasement of agriculture in all other
portions of the South ; for the degradation
of labor, and for the brutalizing and inhu
man influences it developed. Lowland cot
ton, sugar, and rice are very valuable, but
the devastation of all the upland regions,
the prostitution of their whole industrial
BYetem to the vile end of breeding slaves
for the lowland market, and the conse
quent neglect of the arts practiced through
out the North, that would greatly enhance
the value and products of their old planta
tions, is too extravagant a price to pay for
semi-tropical products. We must endeavor
to obtain them at a cheaper rate. Fortu
nately, this experiment, too, is now being
ing made by cotton and rice-plantera.
Many of the freedmen located near Hilton
Head produced considerable crops of the
finest sea-island cotton, on the little patches
of land allotted to them by the Govern
ment. The lash of the overseer is, there
fore, not always necessary to raise cotton.
Although the sugar-plantations of the
British West Indies reduced their produc
tion immediately after emancipation, it is
now reported to be greater than ever.
Southern journals state that there has been
a great exaggeration of the number of slaves
who left their former homes. In many in
stances, too, after a brief holiday had suc
ceeded long years of unrequited toil, they re
turned to their accustomed labors. In other
cases they are even now working " on the
shares " more effectively than ever the
farms which they formerly tilled without
interest in thepops, and with a determi
nation to shirk labor and responsibility as
adroitly as possible. We all know how
readily, in the North, capital, without ever
owning laborer; invariably secures every
species of labor necessary to conduct the
moat complicated and difficult kinds of in
dustry. There may be a strike occasion
ally, for free labor is able to " stand up for
its rights," and to enforce its innate
dignity ; but the work of the world of free
dom goes on nevertheless, whether it consists
in sending men down deep into the bowels
of the earth to delve in cold, dark mines
for the glittering Silver of Nevada or the
black diamond of Pennsylvania, or to
swelter in the summer heat of our harvest
fields, our forges, furnaces, and the compo
sition rooms of our.morning newspapers.
The prices of free labor are regulated by
demand and supply, and by that fair ap
proach to the equities of compensation
which the mutual interests of employer
and employed, both parties being equally
consulted, eventually secures ; but still the
work goes on, and while almost every
imaginable contingency ha's. happened in
the inultifarions operations of free society,
we do not know of a single recorded in
stance in which any extensive business,
known to be profitable, has ever been per
, manently abandoned on account of a diffi
culty in obtaining labor to conduct it. It no
doubt, better suits the individual interest
and convenience of a Southern planter to
force unwilling slaves to toil year after
, year under a burning sun, for no other
compensation than the coarsest food and
clothing • absolutely required to sustain
life ; but it by no means follows that be
cause he is compelled to surrender this un
just advantage, it will not be as easy to
secure a fair day's work for a fair day's
wages, on a cotton, sugar, or rice planta
tion, as in a Northern factory, foundry, or
coal-mine. While the World wants cotton,
and is willing to pay remunerative prices
for it, somebody will be found to produce
it, even in lowland districts. If a larger
share of the profits goes into the pockets
of the laborers hereafter than heretofore,
the country will be benefited, rather than
injured, by that change, The " universal
Yankee nation" is too " cute" to surren
der permanently the advantages of the cot
ton regions of our country, on account of
the abolition of slavery.
The Rebel Leaders
Not a voice Or band is now raised against
the Government of the United states.
Every rebel General and every rebel leader
that has spoken or written, has yielded to
the fiat of arms, and counsels that obedience
to the Federal authority which the hunted,
harried, and oppressed people are only
too ready to render. HOWELL COBB, says
the Macon (Ga) Tacgraph, "counsels on
the part of the people a cheerful and prompt
obedience to the Constitution and laws of
the country. He believes that slavery is
forever dead, but he is not at all despondent
as regards the future of the south; on the
contrary, he believes that a bright future
is ahead, and thiuks it only remains for the
people to put forth their best energies
toward developing the resources of the
country, to ensure commercial prosperity
and success. When asked his probable
fate, he replied that he thought it would
be the same as that of all the original Se
ceesionists before the war, and those who
had occupied the same position with him
since. He expressed confidence in the abi
lity and integrity of President Jortmeorr,
and thought his course toward us would be
conciliatory."
BRECKENRIDGE, at Havana, is almost as
outspoken and expectant. STEPHENP, at
Fort Warren, near Boston, falls back upon
his original Unionism, and does not hesi
tate to say he predicted what has trans
pired. JOHN FORSYTH, at Mobile, argues
with force upon the duty of obedience to
the laws of the victorious Republic. GEO.
W. Joßes, of Tennessee, has taken the
oath, j iped been pardoned by his former
confrere, ANDREW JOHNSON. JAmns L.
ORR, writing from Andersonville, South
Carolina, demands complete submission to
the General Government, and declares it to
be s. miserable hope that a rebel corps in
Texas could hold out against what was
strong enough to beat LEE'S and
JoußsTois's armies. Etteon, one of the
first of the insurgents, is now one of
the most decided supporters of the regu
lar authorities. MALLORY is a prisoner,
and his letters are full of earnest protesta
tions of future loyalty. All the rebel State
Governors, except Harms, of Tennessee,
are either paroled or in confinement. LEE,
JOHNSTON, LONOSTREET, EWELL, EARLY,
not only do not object to their fate,
but adapt themselves to it with all the
philosophy they can command. These are
more than indications. They are the as
surances of the completest restoration of
power to its rightful possessors, contained
in ancient or modern history. The Go
vernment, thus vindicated by arms, by
example, and by the repentance of its
assailants and foes, will henceforth be the
most powerful on the globe.
Tar Urrom PARTY was called a sectional
party in 1860, and was measurably, made
so by the Secessionists. It is now the mis
sion of ANDnEw Jormsorr to nationalize
it—to make it powerful in every State and
Territory. Who that claims to belong to
that great organization will oppose his
noble effort ?

is that there is so little bitterness and such
a universel - 2 surrender of the vanquished.

A COMPLIANCE WITH TRH PROCLAMATION OP THB

WAR IS FORBIGN PORTS.
WASHINGTON, July 2.—A friendly note, of which
the following is a translation, has been addressed
by General La Marmora, the Minister of Italy, to
Mr. Marsh, the United States Minister in that
country:
Mn. MiroMut: The transfer Of the Capital to
Florence has not allowed me to reply sooner to the
note you did me the honor to address to me under
date of Blay sth, communicating to me the procla
mation of Mr. Lincoln, late President of the United
States, relative to the treatment of ships of war of
the Union in foreign waters and * to the closing of
certain ports of the United States.
You are aware, Mr. Minister, that the King's
Government has never Cancelled its sympathies for
the just Cann Willett. has Obtained each decisive suc
cor, and you have yourself admitted that if we
have been obliged to apply the principle to the
armed vessels of the United States in the waters of
Italy, the ponditions which our regulations impose
upon belligerent vessels, we have taken care to
tigate their enforeement in practice, so as to em
barrass as little as possible the entrance of Union
ships.of-war into out ports and roads, and their stay
at such points,
Now that the olvil war may be considered at an
end, we are happy to be able to give to the laovern
ment of the United States now pledges of our con
tinned friendship. I hasten, then, to announce to
you that all the restrictions provisionally adopted
with reference to the armed vessels of the United
States are rescinded, and that hereafter those vessels
NORM treated in our waters on the footing of the
ships of war of other friendly nations in time of
woe. As to the armed vessels of the Separatists, we'
hope that none of them will appear On our Coasts
but if, contrary to all probability, any such. should
present themselves, they will not be received Into
our pOrtS except in case of urgent necessity, under
circumstances where the laws of humanity would
not allow us to reject them, and in that event our
authorities alit take all necessary precautions to
prevent any Inconvenience resulting therefrom.
Accept, Mr. Minister, the assurances of our high
consideration. ALP. LA IYI.AENoItA.

A curiatte Incident lately occurred in a French
criminal court. A young woman, carrying a child
less than a year old in her 'armee, was arraigned for
having stolen three gold tetefrano pieces from the
house of a lady where she called on business. The
prisoner stated in her defence that her baby snatched
the cobs from a table without her knowledge, and
carried them home in Be hand; that She had just
discovered them there, and wad PrePseing te
back with the money, when she was arrested. The
defence Was thought most improbable, owing to the
child's age; but the president, in order to test its
possibility, ordered one of the ushers to lay three
gold pieces on the ledge of the dock; within the
baby's reach. The moment the little thing saw the
money it clutched the pieces firmly and attempted
to put them in its mouth. The experiment Satisfied

she was in consequence acquitted of the Charge.

the offer of an " earde and your likeness for six

BRTElilt THUNDER-STO R MS —There were
an unusual number of severe thunder-storms du
ring the past month or Mx weeks, some of them
beitg attended with hurricanes and excessive or
Mamma lightning. The following brief chapter
indicates some of the disasters—singular, beautiful,
and sublime Scenes of the Storms. On Friday eve
ning a blinding dash seemed like -a gigantic
Shower of fire-balls and hissing serpents, from
Chestnut street to Sprite.. Washington and Inde
pendence squares were filled with sparks. While
this storm was overhead, there were many reports
in the local telegraph, and at the other telegraphic
offlobe in the vicinity of Third and Chestnut streets.
The thunder was sharp and rattling f like brigades
of musketry, though louder. In the several print
ing (Aces the electricity seemed to play around the
Steel stiolpi In which the compositors were setting
the type.
A barn on Gray's lane, occupied by Joseph
Lewis, was fired by an electric stream, and, with
the contents , entire ly destroyed—forty tone of hay
and a crop of wheat, Mr. Lewis had no insurance.
The barn belonged to /firs. Thomas, and was in.
mired.
. .
Mrs. Mary Henry, residing on Orthodox street,
Frankford, was severely injured by liggtning enter
ing her dwelling. She remained insensible several
hours. •
. . .
The barn of John Indies, on the Darby Creek,
was struck and destroyed, with fifteen tone of hay.
There were several other places in Haddlugton and
Hestonvfile amok by the Subtle Bald, but we aid
not learn that any great damage was done. Be•
tween eight and luilf•past nine o'clock the storm
raged the fiercest, during which time six or seven
lights were observed springing up on the murky
horizon.
A. house at the Rising Sun was split into two 000-
Lions by an eleetrio stream, but was not fired.
On Saturday night another severe thunder-storm
prevailed, and was unusually severe In the north
western part of the 0169,
The elemental Warfare was ushered in by a heavy
wind from the lonthweet,.whieh was very flavors in
the northwestern part of the city. In the vicinity
of Sixteenth and Green streets it assumed the power
of a tornado, and in a moment the large steeple on
the German Reformed ()Lurch, located in that sec
tion, Was Whirled from Ito bearings, and dashed
down with a frightful crash, crashing in Its descent
the. roofs of the handsome dwelling-houses. Nos.
1525 and 1527. The inmates were terribly fright
ened; some of them so . much so that it was con
sidered necessary to send for a physician to admin
ister the proper restoratives to annul the terrible
effects of Ewan a powrrfdl nervous shoak, Some of
the family in ono of the houses ware in bed at the
time of the crash, and they made their escape amid.
falling plaster and splinters. The only wonder is
that the result was not worse.
The scene at this time was appalling to the
stoutest hearts. The rain was falling in torrents ;
the lightning Was vivid, exceedingly so; the thunder
heavy, and the wind still blowing in fitful gusts ;
amid all of which the neighbors turned out to
re ad e r any assistance eneetotgat be needed to their
More unfortunate fellow.eleatures.
The steeple lay a huge mass of broken timbers
across the track of the Green and Oostes.streete
passenger railroad company. 'A oar, loaded with
men, women and children, who had been storm
stayed at Ffiirmount, had passed the spot upon
which the steeple fen, only half a minute before.
Several male passengers jumped oat and pro
(seeded to the scene of destruction, and rendered
whatever andatance was necessary—it being thought
that the families in the crushed house were burled
in the ruins.
The Church building hao not been built any COMs4
derable length of time. The deep% Wee net 001 n.
pleted ; it was very largo and heavy.
A number of workmen were put. to work rester.
day morning, and cleared the debris away so far as
to open a passage-way for the oars and vehicles. A
vast amount of persons visited the scene yesterday,
and considerable conversation ensued as to the
stability of other steeples in our city. •
THE REFRESHMENT SALOONS.—At ; the
present time the preaauce at the Cooper Shop and
Union Volunteer Refreshment WOMB II heavy.
mulch more co than at any time gime the rebellion.
The eitizens should make another effort to sustain
the Institutions.. The committee of the Cooper Shop
say they are.willing to °outtalks in the good work,
but must be supported by citizens generally. Tho
various moneyed corporations, and other wealthy
Institutions and people are appealed to for assist
ance, otherwise they will have to close the labors
in which they have been engaged for more than
four years.
The committee of the Union Saloon also made
the same appeal, with the addition that many of
the soldiers are out of money and Wahollt Wes.
Mr. E. W. Cooper, the storekeeper, has consented
to accept all old boots or shoes that may be for.
warded to the saloon for the use of the boys who
are tramping homeward. If a quantity can bo eel.
looted in any vicinity in Philadelphia, Kr. Cooper
will send a messenger for them.

THE PENN MARKET LOTH.—A. CHN
spondent calls attention or the "city editor" to the
fact that the City Clonnoib3 are considering the sub
jeot of selling the old market spaces at the interseo•
Lien of 011110Whill and New nternet streets. The nor
respondent Says this proposition mead With the entire
disapproval of the near residents and taz•peyere,
and that Councils cannot give a title to the per.
chaser, because the Site or ground was donated by .
John Penn to the district of Northern .Liberties.
These plots might be enclosed, and handsomely
sodded and shaded with trees, says the correspon
dent, and this meets with the entire approval of the
people residing in the vicinity. This shows the re•
Monts there IkaVe a taste for beauty and loveliness
but while the City Councils have no legal right to
sell the lots, no other power, body, or individuals,
have a right to turn those lots into Rower gardens.
The property was dedicated to Northern Liberties
for market purp.oeoe forever.
