Cotton-Planting Unprofitable - Indolence of the Negroes?Their Destiny J ?Future of the South. I j The following report of aconver-J jsationby E. V. Smallcy, special 'correspondent of the New York j Tribune, with a prominent citizen jof Abbeville, will be interesting to ! our readers: , . Charleston, S. C., May 19.?I , 'met yesterday a good specimen of, j the old-school South Carolina Gen- | Itlenien?a man of about sixty, tall i and well-built, dressed with scru- ( pulous care, and having a dignified \ bearing and a courtesy of speech. Js This gentleman entertained me for t an hour with a conversation uponjt tlm r?rmr1iHnn nf nftsni'q in this If l,,V ww?.?.v.. * - I V State that showed a freedom from J t prejudice, and a disposition to for- {, get the past and make tiie best of t. things as they exist, that is seldom |, evinced by people of his class lie f was for ten years a member of Con- (; gress, and formerly owned what 1; was called a model plantation upon s the Savannah Kiver, in Abbeville t District. Ilis plantation was one 0 of that kind that used to be shown to northern travelers as a proof of f the benign character of the insti-k "ami M'linrA fill flirt I.. l(lli\Mi VI Ul?? Vljj ??n\jiv uii |j slaves were robust and healthy, ? well-clad, well-fed, comfortably ,] sheltered, and apparently enjoying f a high degree of happiness. lie t said that since the surrender he ? had become poor, and had taken ? to the practice of law to earn a j| living. My acquaintance, whom I c shall call the Colonel, gave me an (\ account of the poverty of most of f< the proud old families in the mid- n lie and upper districts of the State, s, mentioned sonic or tncm ny name, !e svith a description of their former p affluence and their present indigence. One of his illustrations of heir changed circumstances was n particularly striking. "These gen- .v ;iemeni" he said, "in the old times " iVould never drink brandy that r ivas less than 30 years old, and no\v ,jj :hey can afford nothing better than ^ :he meanest corn whiskey." "But ft now can they be so poor when they m .-till own large tracts of land? m Why don't they sell a portion of "s Lheir estates?" I asked. "Because w ' mt_ - i i u" nobody wants to uuy. ine janu ibj.i burden to them. They, cannot 11 *et accustomed.to the new labor jj| jvstem, and many of them, when J tlieir cotton is sold at the end of tj :he year, tind themselves poorer q ;han when they began, and only sj leeper in debt after a year's hard u vorlc. The planters have been!a( nined by cultivating cottou exclu- fa lively and neglecting all the food! ^ T? T nm 1 I V rrops. jlu iuj inouik,v ju. ??..? ..... icquainted with all the planters. ! do uot know one who has made j1 in}*thing the past year, and I can X ;afl to mind a number who have '' ;ach lost several hundred dollars. They planted with the expectation jj :hat cotton would sell for 25 centsjet i pound, and when they had ui wrought their crops to market they b< jould only obtain 12 or 33 cents, itnd could uot pay their expenses o* ivith the proceeds." The Colonel >aid that previous to 18G0 it was considered discreditable for a plant-1 ^ irnot to raise all the corn lie needid for use on his place, but now t? moiir ivlwi /li<) linf rilllllt. .licit; ? cit iuuiij ..wv ^ ,^} m acre. The cause of this mis- 'w laken policy he thought was the r. Treat need of money, and tlie ex- ss pectations raised by the high price e< that cotton brought after the war. p Tliis year he had observed that a " much larger area of corn had been *( planted, lfo did not think that the corn was stolen in the fields to ll so great an extent as to deter the I* planters from cultivating it, as ? others had represented to me. b Three systems of labor prevail. [\ ;0 f.xi. tlm nliintor tr? him his 11 VUC 1Q X*JL tuv vv. WW _ . workmen, paying them monthly fl wages of from $G to ?8, and giving them an allowance of corn meal and bacon, a cabin and a garden patch. Another is to g've the la- v borer one-third of the crop, the t planter providing seed, fertilizers, il tools, and animals. The third system is for the laborer to furnish ?i everything except fertilizers, and 5 receive one-half the crop. The last two systems are much prefer- ( red by the negroes, and are most c used in practice, but even these < systems, the Colonel said, do not j afford sufficient incentive to the , negroes to be industrious, aful as a \ consequence the result often proves i unprofitable to the planter and to 1 the laborer, lie declared that the I Degroes are, as a class, lazy and * thriftless, working only when driv- 1 en to it by necessity. ""You draw J false conclusions," he said, "about j the industry of the negro from the !amount of the cotton crop produced in the South last year. I have shewn you how this was done by an almost total neglect of the provision crops; and that the result lias \ been disastrous. I do not believe 1 - i ? I..- 4.n~ Ithat ttie lorai vame ui mu u^nuui-: jtural productions of the South for J 1870 will equal the average value! of the productions during the ten! years preceding the war. In other words, I am confident that the negro is not producing as much now, ias he did under the Slave system, j He is not industrious by nature, j He will work hard one day and j then spend two in hunting, lishing, or idling about the nearest town, i planting thus but one acre, where cf n 111 irtrliiafw VlO mifht "1VU wmpm??V V ?C ? \ - - 1 1 I * A- * 1 plant three." I told the Colonel that I had observed in Columbia, Anderson and Greenville that a number of colored men had bought lots and built comfortable houses, thus give evidence of habits of in- , dustry and economy. These lie . thought were exceptional instances. 1 They were the mechanics ot the 1 towns, trained to steady labor from ^ boyho )d. The vast majority of the ' colored people of the State barely < live from hand to mouth, he said. 1 The Colonel thought that the ( African race would soon become t extinct in all the country, with the exception, perhaps, of the hot, marshy scabord, where the white race would not come into competition with it. According (to his l observation, the mortality among S lie negroes had greatly increased s si uce they were emancipated, and u his increase resulted from insuffi:ieut food and clothing, poor sheler, and carelessness and lack of >f judgment in tending the young r md nursing the .sick. Pulmonary omplaints, formerly almost unknown, had become prevalent and atal. lie discussed Darwin's tlieirv of the struggle for life, and oainiamea tuat us trutii wouiu oe L trikingly illustrated on this con- A incut by the gradual disappearance L if the negroes, who, now that they ^ re brought into active eompeti- v; ion with the whites, must inevita- ^ >ly perish according to tlie law of lature, which preserves on !y the trong and vigorous races. In the ays of Slavery," lie said "it w is nr the interest of the white men hat the negroes should increase in umbers. There was, therefore, 0 struggle between the two races ; , lie stronger, on the contrary, aid- ' <1 and protected the weaker. .Xow, liis is changed; and, with all the i" jeling of kindness we have for the D egroes, and our unwillingness to ?, 2e them suffer, the aggressive en- jj rgy of the Anglo-Saxon race will ush them out of existence." The Colonel thought that, as the ^ egro racc disappeared, a new and A igorous civilization would spring itp J 1 the South that' would lead the .. orld. He believed that all the eletents of such a civilization exist in S< ic Southern character, the remarka- ^ i - - l - l_ I. ic power anu energy 01 which were illy proved by the war. "Wo are ot an indolent, enervated people, as lany at the North imagine," he said, md we demonstrated during the ^ ar the immense exertions of which e are capable, When thi3 energy, i idustiy, and intelligence, which we J assess, arc brought into full play in N< oveloping our industrial resources, p e will make the South the garden of jj? le worl-1, .Mark my prophesy." The p olonel's gray eyes shftne with cnthuasm while making this prediction [e gave me an interesting hut sad jcount of the decay of the old proud milies that once lorded it on the Sea ;lands. spending the Summers at the irginia Springs and the Northern atering-plaee#, and living the rest of in ic vcar upon their estates in princc1 - - n 4. 1. ' Style, euiiPglue nnesi game, uiiuis.g the lareet wines, and dispensing , all times a magnificent hospitality, any of these families have entirely ^appeared, and nearly all are reduc- -D; 1 to poverty They lost Loth slaves /id lands. Their fine mansions have :en destroyed or arc ruined and deirted, rank weeds obscure all traces ~ ' their once beautiful gardens, and icy themselves are outcasts and wancrers, reduced in many cases to the ~ Miinn nf pommnn laborers.

Jt was (lif. rent with the first families of the Ht( p-eountrv. Although great losers y the war, they are hard at work, ^ ndcr great discouragements and em- ^ arrassments, they try to retrieve heir fortunes, and still maintain Dtieh of theii* former position and in- ' ueuce. ?? y Anderson.?
