lritE 'A vows OF THE FREEDirms.
The reorganization of industry in the
youth is at present a matter of vital im
portance, not only to that section but to
ourselves. Prosperity and peace go hand
in hand, and the speediest means of esta
blishing a war-disturbed society on a safe
And permanent basis, is by adopting all
3nethods of furnishing remunerative em
ployment to those classes which have been
especially injured by recent events.
- The social relations and prospects of the
megroes have been so suddenly altered,
that our hopes of a re-establishment of law
And order are brightened by every instance
of freedmen entering upon and continuing
industries to their personal advantage.
As -the old monastery, with its little
garden and vineyard, inculcated the bless
ings of peace and industry to the wild and
dissolute bandits, knights of the earlier
ages, so must the fruitful fields and com
fortable homesteads of the freedmen of the
15outh preach daily lessons of frugality and
industry to the ignorant, idle, and dissatis
fied, both white and black. As those mo
xestic institutions became in barbarous
times the nuclei of prosperity, progress, and
civilization, so may the farms of the Indus
triousfreedmen become the centres of that
m ew ciVilization that is about to spring up
throughout the South.
A correspondent of the New York Worid,
'writing from Savannah, Georgia, who has
recently visited the famous Sea Islands,
giveS the following favorable account of in
dustrial operations in that great cotton
.
growing district. He says :
"The condition of the islands along this
coast is now of the greatest interest to the
world at large, and to the people of the South
in particular. Upon careful inquiry, I find
that there are over two hundred thousand
acres of land under cultivation by free labor.
The enterprises are mostly by Northern men,
although there are natives working their ne
groes under the new system, and negroes who
are working land on their own account. This
Is the third year ofthe trial, and every year
bass been a success inore and more complete.
The profits of some of the laborers amount to
live hundred, and, in sonic cases, live thousand
dollars a year. The amount of money depo
sited in bank by the negroes of these islands,
is a hundred and forty thousand dollars.. One
joint subscription to the seven-thirty loan,
amounted to eighty thousand dollars. Not
withstanding the fact that the troops which
landed on the islands robbed indiscriminately
the negroes of their money, mules, and sup
plies, the negrpes went back. to work again.
Gen. Saxton, who has chief charge of this en
terprise, has his headquarters at Beaufort. If
these facts, and the actual prosperity of these
Islands could be generally known throughout
the South, it would do more to induce the
whites to take hold of the freed-labor system
than all the general orders and arbitrary com
mands that Gen. Hatch has issued."
From Helena, Arkansas, we learn that
one freedman, having some capital, and the
opportunity of borrowing more, leased
twenty-four acres of ground in that vicinity
and employed the services of one laborer ;
his expenses did not reach two thousand
dollars, and he, sold his crops for six thou
tend, realiiing four thousand dollars clear
profit. Another colored man borrowed the
entire capital necessary to lease seventeen
acres, but earned enough in the season to
purchase a good house, with a residue of
three hunched dollars. Another freedman
leased thirteen and one-half acres, ex
pended six hundred dollars on its cultiva
tion, and sold the crop for four thousand
dollars. Those who have been al4 to
take up land on their own account have
been very prosperous, as have been also
those who have cultivated plantations on
alums.
Many complaints' are being made of the
result of the wages system, and the difficul
ties attendant upon it, but they seem to us
to arise in many cases from impatience for
great and overwhelming results and a want
of due study of the causes that have led to
the present condition of social relations.
The reader, however favorable to the -ne
groes he may be, should temperately con-
Oder the effect of the rupture of old cus
toms, habits, and employments, to which
they have recently been subjected. They
have been great sufferers by the war—at
one time left in idleness; at another, forced.
into additional exertions, occasionaity
pressed into the service of the army; and,
again, abandoned by fugitive masters, and
east upon their own resources, without_any
previous training which would fit them for
Stew emergencies or responsibilities. If all
this is allowed its due weight, we cannot
consider that the following account of the
'Wages system in the vicinity of Helena, for
the first year, at all discouraging :
The report asserts that, as a whole, the
Jody of the Freedmen were in better
Stealth, and much better clothed at the close
of the year than at the beginning. That
at the time of settlement one-fourth of the
entire number were either in debt, or had
3lothing due to them. Another fourth had
a balance of more than twenty dollars in
their favor, and the remaining half a ba
lance of less than twenty dollars. - A. few
bad been quite successful ; one woman, over
fifty years of age, had a balance of fifty-five
dollars in her favor, and a boy aged fifteen
had one hundred and two dollars. In
cases where the laborers had been allowed
an acre or more of land to work on their
own account, one Freedmen had, in addi
tion to his year's wages, raised a crop of
cotton off hislittle patch, worth one hun
dred and sixty-five dollars, while another
tad made his piece of ground yield him
three hundred dollars.
These results do not strike us as unfavor
able. The report is not very accurate, but
-we arc left to infer tiattt somewhat more
than three-quarters of the whole. number
were self-supporting. This, too, in the first
year of the experiment, with all the indis
position to work and ignorance of economy
and of the real value of time and industry,
which it is to be presumed that the enfran.-
eased , blacks must experience at firsts .
There should also be taken into the account
-one of the very subjects of complaint most
frequently repeated—and that is, that the
System is hardly arranged, and that there
are no officers with competent authority
either to direct or enforce the regulations
necessary to ensure regularity in the laborer
or Justice from the employer.
ADVICE TO LORD DERBY.
It is not much that . ace tfan bestow upon'
such a man as tnWAriti GROETREY SMITH
STANLEY, Earl of Derby, Lord of Knows
ley, translator of flOmmes Iliad, ex-Pre-
Euler, and at present leader of "Her Ma- '
jesty's Opposition." We can give him
'What usually is more freely given than se
,cepted—we can and do give him a bit of
friengly advice, and hope he will have the
good sense to accept it.'
Three weeks • ago, Lord DERBY asked
Lord ItESSELL,NihiIe the Upper House was
in session, what. President Amway' Rem
sioN meant- by declaring that blockade
runners, who might do an odd turn
against United States' merchant-vessels,
after the fashion of the Alabama, under the
ag of the " so-called Southern Confede
ration" were pirates, to all intents and
purposes? In his (DEnev's) opinion o they
!were only smugglers. Lord RUSSELL can
tiidly that he knew nothing at
all about the matter. The advice gratis
'which we tender- to Lord DEBBY, who
seems during the last four years to have
lost or Mislaid his copy of VATTELL, is that
be will procure Dr. HENRY WunATOE's
16 Elements of International Law," which
is as much authority in England as in this
country, and carefully study it during the
approaching parliamentary vacation. He
Will learn from it that there is as mu*
difference between piracy and smuggling
as there is between robbery and borrowing,
and that British-built vessels, sailing under
a rebel flag, and committing depredations
upon the commerce of any country, are
held as piratical`- y the law of nations.
Moreover, he may also learn his own utter
ignorance of the subject on which he
spoke.
• , AFTER LP.l.t's surrender, and while JEFF
DAMS was a flying fugitive, he declared in
his Danville message :
c‘Agafn and again we will return, until the
lbaflied and exhausted enemy shall abandon
in despair his endless and impossible task
of making slaves of a people resolved to be
free."
)taking all due allowances for the natu
ral desire to keep up appearances, which
prompted this declaration, will it not 1* as
well to take proper precautionsto prevent
sUCII an indomitable spirit from carrying
into execution this desperate policy?

EXPORT DIITIES.
" A number of our exchanges favor such
an amendment to the Constitution as would
authorize Congress to impose duties on ex
ports. It is .certainly to .be regretted that
at a period when it is vitally important that
free scope should be allowed in the selec
tion of means for raising the enormous re
venues that will be required to pay the in
terest of the national debt, and to provide
for the.increased current expenditures of
the Government, that have been rendered
necessary by the rebellion, , one of the most
Promising and least oppressive of our re
sources should be practically unavailable.
We observe that the New Orleans Delta
favors the proposed, change in the Consti
tution ; and from its ready acquiescence, we
infer that the people of the South have
been familiarized with the idea of export
duties by the action of the Confederate au
thorities in sanctioning them. A member of
the British Parliament has recently proposed
to levy an export duty on coal and iron
shipped from England. His argument was
that "coal and iron were gifts of Provi
dence, and it was the duty of the Govern
ment to utilize these commodities for the
benefit of the country." If this is good
logic, as applied to these substances in
England, it is doubly true as applied in
America to cotton. Looking at the past
history of the legislation of foreign coun
tries, we do not believe that any en
lightened nation, situated as we are to-day,
would doubt for one moment the policy of
seeking to lighten the pecuniary burdens of
its own citizens, by imposing all the export
duties that distant consumers could by any
possibility be made to pay It is not un
reasonable to suppose that judicious import,
export, and excise duties might be devised
that would in a few years render unneces
sary our whole present Cumbrous internal
revenue system, or with its aid, speedily
provide for the liquidation of the entire
national indebtedness.
LETTER FROM "OCCASIONAL."
WASHINGTON', July 11, 1865
Another chapter, no less instructive and
practical than the interview between the
President and the representatives of the
white men of South Carolina, has been
added to the record of the history of the
Government since the rebellion. I allude
to the appeal of certain parties from Vir
ginia to the President, on Saturday
last, asking him to strike out - all that
portion of his amnesty proclamation, of
the 20th of May, known as the twenty
thousand-dollar clause. While this inter
view was progressing, Lieutenant General
Grant was present and heard the arguments,
pro and con—the invocations of the Virgi
nians and the responses of the President—
and when the former retired, General Grant
freely and frankly expressed his satisfaction
at having heard the reasons of the Presi
dent for indicating his adherence to this po
key. At a Moment when certain over
exacting people are complaining that the
President has not been sufficiently severe
in his dealings with the smitten trai
tors, and are pressing him to assume
the perilous responsibility of exercising
a right which does not belong to him,
in order to confer upon untrained mul
titudes in the South the right of suf
frage—it is satisfactory to note how he
grasps certain strong weapons, and wields
them against the active men who-first pre
pared the way for rebellion, and then
pushed the South into it. As has been
said before, if President Johnson knows
any portion of the Southern people
thoroughly, it is the poor whites ; and it
is this class which has been over-ridden by
the_ middle :men. ect5. , K 4,,41. Y .-- ffuoi-ea wore

tical schemes ; in a word, firing and consoli
dating that organization which was the
most dangerous and effective of any instru
ment of the insurrection. It .is among
these oppressed white people that President
Johnson has most commingled since his en
trance into public life. Indeed, he may
be said to he bone of their bone and flesh*
of their flesh. They elected him to Con
gress. They carried him into the Guberna
torial chair over the heads of that miserable
pinchbeck aristocracy in Tennessee, of
which Miran G. Harris and Gideon J. Pil
low were fair specimens ; and when he
came into the Senate of the United States,
it was not because these parodies upon real
gentility assisted, but because they could
not prevent that result. Now, is it not
palpable—when such measures as the
twenty-thousand-dollar clause are enforced

that he who is bold enough to do this,

ditions, in some of the Cotton States,
to oppress the colored population by means
of local legislation, or to pave the way for

READING, Pa., July 10.
.
By an accident, which I need not stop here to
explain, I find myself in this beautiful inland
city, nestled in the generolls bowel of o ld
Berks. The years that have elapsed since my
last visit here have dealt kindly with this
busy town.. The march of improvement, in
stead of being retarded by the war, has been
accelerated. The vast coal and iron interests
Which here concentre have never reaped so
rich a harvest as during the rebellion, and a
large increase of the aggregate wealth or this
place has been the result. The evidences of
enterprise, thrift, and domestic comfort, greet
one at every turn. A stroll through some of
the principal streets last evening assured me
that what has long been accorded to New
England as to her tasteful, well-kept streets
and cozy residences, may be claimed for Penn
sylvania, The town itself, as most of your
readers ought to know from experience, is
charmingly located; and the Net that the
honored. founder of our own city founded
and laid out this after the same sym
metrical design, leaves nothing for a Phila
delphian to desire respecting its plan. The
city is built on a belt of table land, about
ninety feet above the bed of the Schuyl
kill, which skirts it on the south and west. Its
main business thoroughfare, Penn street, is a
broad, airy avenue, running through the
centre of the town, from cast to west. Upon
it, with comparatively few exceptions, we find
the stores, hotels, banking-houses; and other
Places of business. A large number of fine old
residences, including the lituillanberg man-
Sion, on the corner of Fourth street (a family
name, by the way, which contributes largely
to the historic glory of this ancient town ;)
that of non. J. Pringle Jones, almost directly
opposite ; the residence of G. A. Nicolls, Esq.,
the intelligent and efficient General Superin
tendent of the Reading Railroad Company at
this place, and others, arc also located on this
street.
The Reading Railroad Company, in addition
to their present immense facilities for manu
facturing everything pertaining to the stock
and materials of their road; are now construct
ing a series of ear works on the north side Of
the town, which, When completed, will be
by far the most extensive improvements of
the kind on this continent. These works afford
steady and lucrative employment to hundreds
of men. Adding to this the fact that more

United States; that her coal business is also
enormous, from her contiguity to the great an
thrache beds, and superior facilities for trans
portation, her own annual consumption of
coal amounting to about a quarter million
tons; that some of the large4,iron furnaces in
Pennsylvania are here located:, the town be
ing surrounded with inexhaustible deposits of
ore; that eotton,woollen, shoe, and hat manu
factories arc also in successful operation, and
that labor in Reading has always been liber
ally compensated, and we have suffieient reit
son for the steady growth that she has pxperi
enced in her population, which now numbers
about thirty thousand.
The architectural facilities for her citizens to
'indulge their religious preferences are quite
ample, there being noless than two Episcopal,
one Presbyterian, four Lutheran, two German
Refornted, two Catholic, four Methodist, and
one or two other churches of less eOnShlOrable
denominations, nearly all of which are a.
domed with the " heavenward-pointing spire."
The new Gothic Episcopal Church, on Fifth
street, is an imposing structure. I learn that
preaching at this church during thb warm
weather is dispensed with, prayers being sub
stituted instead. The evening service is hehl
every Sunday one hour, commencing at six
and-a-half o'clock—this hour being selected
for the purpose of allowing those who attend
to visit churches of other persuasions later in
the evening. The liberality of this arrangement
is certainly commendable. Having reached
the city last evening in time, I attended this
service. The Church was comfortably

the worshippers present whom I recognized,
as more or less known to fame, I observed Mr.
Buchanan's faithful old friend, the Hon. Glan
cy Jones, and Mr. J. Lawrence Getz, of the
Reading Gazette, the former looking as rotund
and rubicund as ever, and the latter as con
tented as an editor might, now that the war is
over through which he has had to battle with
his own sense of right in order to please his
sympathizing readers.
Having taken an early tea at the "Mansion,"
and beinedisposed to spend the closing hours
of a beautiful Sunday in a commendable man

another church where there Vll he preaching.
Our inquiry, ?Mere? is politely met by a
stranger with the assurance that the most
eloquent divine in the Reading pulpit is the
Rev. E. J. Richards, pastor of the Presbyterian
Church on Fifth street, a short distance from

our informant, we enter the church—a neat,
unpretending edifice, draped in mourning for_

Music. Two female voices attract the most
attention—one a sweet treble ;..the other a
second, of rather more power than melody.
Mr. Richards prays, and then announces his
teat, to-Wit:
"Give me a blessing, for thou hast given me a
South land: give me also springs of water. And he
gave her the upper springs, and the nether springs."

The preacher immediately proceeds to de
liver his discourse, which is - written with con
siderable care. His voice is feeble and badly
managed. Re looks dyspeptic ; his manner is
dyspeptic ; his reading is dyspeptic, and he to
dyspeptic; but his matter is good, and it will
compensate the listener to give hinythe strict
est attention, though even with thiS, he will
fail to catch some of the speaker's words. The
analysis of his text is scholarly, natural, and
edifying. The divine philosophy which he
presses from the sacred word as he progresses,
makes one feel that our discontent in this
world arises less from what we have not, than
from ingratitude for what we have. I have
heard much more pretending oratory in the
pulpit, seen a greater display of learning,
heard sermons without number, that were
more instructive, buthave listened to few that
were better - adapted to improve the heart,
than the effort of Mr. Richards on this Oeea.•

people among whom he minister; ! Re needs

pleasure of attending was the great political
demonstration that took place here during

Franklin Pierce was the standard-bearer Of
the Democracy. It - was a grand day for the
Democracy of old Berks. I remember that at
twelve o'clock, precisely, the meeting was or
ganized by placing "the Sage of Wheatland"

OCCASIONAL
But, not to linger, let us cross Penn street,
anti proceed along its north side, eastward,
till we come to Sixth. Turning to the left, we
pass along Sixth, encountering a gentle ascent,
till we arrive at Washington street, where a
picture presents itself worthy the pencil of an
artist. Immediately opposite to where we
are standing, On the northwest corner of these
streets, is the old Lutheran church, surMOUtit
ed. by a spire two hundred feet high. The pea.
tor of it, Rev. Jacob Fry, is a son of Hon. Jacob
Fry, of Trappe, Pennsylvania (who was elect
ed Auditor General of this State in 1856,) and is
ono of the rising young clergymen of the
day. During the past eleven years, up to
,February, 1865, Mr. Fry had charge of the
Lutheran church at Carlisle, where, in com
pany with hundreds of others, he tasted, the
bitterness of the border during the day and
night of July 1, 1863, when the rebels, under
Ewell, shelled that town. Mr. Fry's present
congregation is one of the largest and most
influential in the city of Reading. The Mullen
bergs, Clymers, and other well-known names,
are among his parishioners.
Looking to the northwest, from this point,
the massive form and lofty steeple of the Old
German Reformed Church loom up against
the sky. A little to the southeastward the
Courthouse rears its stately front, on a lino
beyond which the full-orbed moon is peering
through a silvery sheen of cloud. Directly to
the eastward, a short distance from the town,
we trace the huge outline of Mount Penn. If
you have time, it will pay you to ascend its
summit and witness its crater-like top, pre
senting every appearance of a great eruption
at some remote age. When I ascended it, fif
teen years ago, I found my pains amply repaid
by the extensive and picturesque view which
it afforded. At that time black snakes 'were
very numerous in these parts, making the as
cent adventurous as well as romantic. I have
not heard whether these reptiles still abound

on the high table land between the city and
mount Penn are located the County Prison and
the Water Works. This eminence was, in for
mer years, the scene of numerous public exe
cutions, to which the people of the surround

eagerness with which in these more civilized
days they visit horse-races, cricket-matches,

The description of the manner in which
Colonel Manht•s, by authority from Murat, put
down the Calahrlan brigandsonore than half
a century ago, makes one wonder why Victor
Emmanuel 1100 not take Similar strong; mea
sures to accomplish alike result. At present,
travellers in the South of Europe will do well
to give the Kingdom of Naples` a very wide
berth. A third article here, ou the manners and
customs of Primitive Indian tribes is worthy of
commendation. Its author evidently has a very
thorough knowledge of his subject, and has
condensed into less than forty pages what
others would 'have expounded into a volume.
Mr. Fisher's disquisition on Export duties Is in

work whole passages, scarcely, with alteration,

formation," translated by Mr. J. Campbell
Mackenzie, of Paris. The exposure is very

From Mr. Zicber we have the June number
Of the North Brittah _Review, American reprint.
It opens with an account of the life and
learned labors of Wolf, the famous German
philologist, truly described as " the true author
of modern classical culture," and eternally to
he remembered as author of the "Prolego
mena" to Homer, which opened new views
about the text of the great poet, as well the
character of his poetry, and made himself
well known among the learned throughout
the world. A notice of "Three Women of
Letters," who are Lucy Atkin, Joanna Millie,
and Caroline Francis Cornwallis, is of thin
texture, from want of material. ' Joanna
Baillie's dramas and her Metrical Legends,
are good enough to entitle her to notice, but
Lucy Aiken's laborious biographies are nearly
forgotten, and Miss Cornwallis' posthumous
letters and a series of school-books, give her,
at best, only a low brevet rank in literature,
"Symbolism in Christian Art," and the
admirable paper upon "England and Norway
in the Eleventh Century," are very readable,
and (to poets) probably very suggestive. We
admire, also, the tone of the article upon " Po
. pular Religious Literature," and "The State
and Prospects of Italy," though it is not very
original, for newspapers are earliest in poli
tical aiSCUeSiOn 7 gives a very fair Ajew of what
is now being done in the dominions now ruled
by Victor Emmanuel. We except, however, to
the reviewer's assertion that Italian "brigan
dage is now merely sporadic."
The July number of the United States Service
Magazine, received rvont Mr. T. B. Pugh, Chest

well-engraved portrait of Major Generasonn
A. Logan, and several artieles or considerable
merit. Pest amongithese are an editorial on the
subject "What to do - with our Generals," "Na...
poleon 111. and his Life of Ciusar," and a con
sideration of "What the Coast Survey has done
for the War." The paper, " The Yankee as a
Fighter," by Colonel James F. Rushing, is writ
ten with a certain dash,but does not appear to
have been revised before it was put into type.
The style is at once too familiar and too ambi
tious. On what authority is such a - miserable
word as " swash-buelher" used - 1 " Wonder what
the Examiner man thinks nowt" is a bad
commencement of a sentence. "Jeffdom's
downfall" is a curious coinage, we confess, and
may be admitted for its originality, but we
are surprised that the accomplished editor of
this Magazine should have put his imprima•
tar upon such a sentence as, "We knew; we
felt it in our bones, that we were going to be
whipped at - first, and, perhaps, badly whipped
at that." Feeling it M our bones is not very
elegant language, nor is it quite right to use
the term "whipped" (generally applied to Cor
poral punishment of school-boys) to represent
defeat in battle ; but " badly whipped at that"
is simply a vulgarism, a mere cant phrase.

The literary department is also good, though
the notices have a tendency to run into essays.
We agree with the opinion, in "Critics and
Criticism," that "in this country (and Eng

quite as much shoddy' literature as any

The sMOklng OftObacco, notwithstanding
the many treatises which have been written
on the use and abuse of the "weed," is now so
prevalent on board the English ships, that the

thought that there existed any necessity for
the insertion of the last paragraph in the cir

Although the tendency has been, since the
war commenced, more towards a cash system
of trade than previously, still the credit sys
tem has by no means been abandoned, The
effect of various disturbances of trade has
been to reform the credit system and render
merchants more discriminating in the use of
it. The new reference books and improved
system of marking of the Mercantile Agency
will be of great
‘ value to merchants all over
the country at the present juncture; these
books, display an amount of careful labor
and thoroughness of investigation which is
truly astonishing, and shows that :the ramifi
cations of the agency throughout tile country
are very Complete as well as extensive.
