JL.H-A Northern View of Southern Contracts ?The Fifteenth Amendmont, and tho Cha' kston Convention. i The same correspondent of tlie Tribune, whoso calm and temperate ! utterances we presented in part to our readers in our last issue, has writ ton another letter giving an additional chapter .of his experiences "in the City by. tho sea." It seems to ho characterized like tho preceding, by a spirit of fairness, and though as a matter of course colored by early Imltitt rmrl iliffiiiwtit. munr>!'ilinno i*; that of one who aspires to give the impartial views of an unprejudiced observer. The sharply defined contrasts presented by the white and black elements in the city forcibly impress the writer, and especially as exhibited in tlio ratification of the Fifteenth Amendment, and in the sessions of the Agricultural Convention?the hilarious enthusiasm of tho one race in tho enjoyment of their newly acquired freedom, and tlje sober earnestness of the other, chastened by bitter past expericuce, distrustful of the present, and anything else than sanguino oi (he future, but etill nelf-reliant and ac tive?and necking still to rebuild and restore. The writer's view of tho character of the black race as displayed in tho great celebration was nioro favorable than he had been led to anticipate, lie says: "Of courso I can any nothing of their willingness or their ability iu the lield, their trustworthiness, or their [cleanliness in tlio kitchen. I but speak of the negro celebrating a great eveiit iti the history oi' his race. I see a swarm of people showing, with evident poverty, great- ingenuity in mukiug a lit tlo material in dress go a groat way in producing an <*fleet at least neat and picturesque, if neither gracoful nor beautiful?a people Boniotirhes childlike or barbaric in tbo exuberance of their demonstrations of joy, but certainly possessing a dignity of thoir own capablo of commanding respoct upon occasion; a peoplo of romarkablo oourtcsy and politeness in thoir street, manners, whother to acquaintance or atrangor; a peoplo de...? ?:n-. -f -i n^jiiiug iu iiiiu [iuiiiji ui 111 n miry (iisplay, iu tho blaro of bands ami tbo flitter of accoutermonts, and ho making generally goocl parade soldiors in outward appearanco, tho extraordlnary spirit and pride of somo otl'sotting the cxtrcmo awkwardness of others whoso enthusiasm has-not had tho advantage of drill; a peoplo manifestly saturated all through with tho pride of freedom and citizenship* and'very likely, in tho * domination of those feelings,.forgetting for tho nonco almost every thing else. It is in this that theso now fVeodmcn and women of South Carolina moyt differed from tho Northern black pcoplo, mostly froo from childhood, whom^ I have seen in similar celebrations. Tho Northern man breathes his freodom like tho air, without thinking'of it with'every inhalation, and goes about his business meanwhile in a businesslike W*ay7 The Southern negro takes it In like laughing-gas, is exhilarated at overy. breath, and exhibits his consciousness of it in h\Wv ninvomont it ib with tliis, ye'thnpB, that tho white man "who has to deal with hiin finds fault, thinking fivo years long onough 'to got over tho first intoxication oi liberty." _ . Now * wc havo nothing to say against the correctness in tho main of this viow. Tiro black race havo boon oxposed to a snccossion of unfavorable influences which wonld have up sot tho equanimity of tho most sober > minded people in the world, much more tlmt of a people of mercurial, tropicnl blood; of strong passions, and limited intelligence. To us it is a wonder, that a people who have been so much "sinned against" as the hlnolr rnnn Kntrn ilnnn oa ~11 L tvvvj P?X? V W UUUU DV/ WCH"^IiaVO deported themsolves eo orderly at home, and have exhibited so mticli conservatism in the chair of office, and In tho halls of legislation. Turning away from, tho feverish exhilaration of tho colorod colebration, tho writer finds more to attract in that sober ossombly of practical men ,;onco possessed of wealth, of immense inflaendo, who In the old i!mo carried South Carolina ill: their hands, and today Dot'command so much as a constableship at tho hands of the raters, sa*d who come together not as HtMhinAnM nf n T>-?

Tbo schemo also provides for tbo establishment of a representative central board to sjt at Charleston, made np of delegates from each local society, to take measures to induce immigrants to come this way, to receive and care for them while here, to givo them entire froodom of choice to push .on to Califur nia or tbo North-West if they ro choose, ami to distribute thoso who elect to rqniain among the free farms which are opened to them in South Carolina. Intimately allied with this is the plan to make, tbo coming of immigrant* possible, by building a fleet of four (steamers to run between Charleston a?>d somo European port, and while bringing passengers on their westward trips to carry cotton back with them, and ho begin tbo emanci pation of the South from the tribute | it pays to Mew York on both its im ! port and export trade. Other reports were made looking to the establishment of local cotton factories .and other improvements of the resources of the South, but these wero received with less enthusiasm, many of tho planters firmly believing that manufactures arc a curse to the community . which engages in them, and that the only true course lor this State and its neighbors is to slick to agriculture alone. Thus the great topic of the ' Convention was tho immigration schemes ottered, and tho project for {establishing direct trade as makinir immigration possible." 31 any obstacles to the immigration schcruos wereproposed, and canvassed. Among the chief of theso wcro the mulual prejudices of the planter and the immigrant, which must bo overcome?of the immigrant in thinking that tho planter only wanted Bomc one to take tho plaeo of his former slave?of tho planter in being unwilling to concede liberal allowances of rations and olhor personal comforts. The low ralo of labor was nlsn mvrwl us an obstacle?arid whatever might bo tho inducement, tho low country planter was hopeless of any beucfit from Ibis source, in his hot, malarious climalo. Amid a host of croakers according to tho writer, tho truo key voto of Yankoo energy, and enterprise, oxpressod in blunt Yankeo phraso was struck by Mr. IJ. B. True, formorly of Now York, now hailing from Georgia. Said ho, "What you want is men with a littlo capital of their own, who will put it into tho land, and then identify tbomsolvcs with tho soil. If a Xorthorn man comcs down hero to ?? * ? - v/viv iii/ vkiu v*uunvr> j U9 llUUUrOUB UFO doing ovory month, get him to Bottlo on your land. If ho has $500 got it away from him, invested in your land, and then ho will stick, and whatever Slate ho comes from ho will bo a Georgian or a South Carolinian In less than a year. If his monoy is here, his heart will bo here, and hie politics , will bo horo. Tho Southern men smiled at this as a Yaukceipm, but not p few of them recognized tho cssenco of truth in it after all. "This "is a ' temporary crifcis," continued this plainspoken Yankee. "Labor is domoral izod. Thcro isn't enough of' it, and what iltcro is isn't trustworthy,. I can boo that as woll as you can. ' A riian vrlth a big plantation can't rnako enough, stealage and everything else thrown in, to fence liia land. But this is not going to last. Capital can , control labor in tho end. Tho fact is " that whero a Northern farmer gets rich, ho does it not so much by farming as by increasing tho value -of his land, bl'intrinir it to the hiohnsfc sfnfA w W O of cultivation drawing other people around him, building up a pleasant neighborhood, getting schools ?nd' churches about, and so on, till ho-ia a wealthy man. It fcan bo dono hero just as well as there; .and with such land as you have bore, and labor as cheap a? it is here, we can beat the Northern man two to One. That's a fact.

Tho many customers to tho mill from ?very section can testify to this fact, and now when our people arc "casting about" to determine what mill to send their new crop to, we would advise our readers to bear this , mill in mind. To have tho good lady , of tho house well pleased, and to have good and healthy bread, it is ueccssary to havo good flour. Wo see no reason why our people should stoi) at tho nearest mill, when they can "go a little farthor and faro much bettor" at Wil6on's Now Mill.

This little boy was a ohild of extraordinary promise, pos- ' scBsing those qualities and mental powers which belong oftener to matnrer years, than to ehildhood. His , Bufferings were as severo and protracted as- I have over witnessed. His resignation was wonderful, reminding us of that possossod by Christians of riper years. Allio had the most winning manners for a child that I havo ever witnessod. Though not rolated to him by the tics of consanguinity; having boon noar him for several months timo. I cherishod , an at* taclimcnt for him, stronger than that generally dictated by relationship. All who were associated with him loved him.
