'Tho January number of the EdinReview contains an able and in-J <ter?Bting articlo upon this subjcct. in .which tho conclusions of tho writer! .drawn from tho statistics of tho last i rtJensas Keport,.aro arnica wna greuo force and clearness, and at the same timo with an absence of all party bias, which is as raro as it is commendable. The writer points out clearly the fundamental differences which distinguished emancipation at the South from all similar cases in the records of the past. The revolution which converted the elavos of the old Roman empire into tho serfs of the middle ages, though played upon a * ? - ? ** -4^-^^vxIIqUa/I .-crn/l . larger siago, was awvuipu^uvu gi?u ually aDd almost imperceptibly; the emancipation in Jamaica was affected poaccably, and upon payment of jnst compensation, and so likewise was tho liberation of tho serfs in Russia /Carried out peaceably and with the consent of tho masters; in Hayti the masters wcro a mere handful and were swept away by the insurrection ; . in all these, tho masters wcro a mere privileged class forming but a small j>ortion of tho population. In tho South, on the contrar)', the m?stors constituted a people considerably outnumbering their slaves, werein a position to oppose a public opinion of their own to the public /opinion of tho world, were absolute at homo and ruled the government of tho Union, and hence they foughtj desperately to maintain their-cherish- J od institution, and hcncc for its pres-| ervation staked life and property and all the resources of a desperate four years contest. Emancipation came as a war measure and at one blow overturned the political, social and industrial organization of the South, hnd moro than all brought about a series of conscquenees which invested tho slaves with tho attributes of sovereignty and inado them tho domin ant raco. Tho effect of emancipation, especially upon the black race, is discussed at some length by tho writer, and is shown to justify neither the anticipations of those who prophesied that the blacks would die out, or bo exteraninatod, nor of thoso who predicted . - that the}" would rapidly supplant the whites, especially in tho warmer States. Tho entiro colored population of the United States in 18G0 was 64,441,830, in 1S70, was 4,SS0,009, increasing in tho ten years by 43S,179 souls, or just 9.21 percent; whilst ;Tho increase 01 tno wmtcB in inei 'camo period was 24.39 per ceut; the colored increase being considerably below half tho averago of tho whites, and boingalso far short of onc-hulf of tho rate of incrcaso which prevailed ' amon'g themselves before 18G0. Again it is a surprising fact that in spite of tho ravages of ono of tho most exhausting civil wars on roeord, tho rate of incrcaso of tho whites of Iho Confederate States during tho 10 years 'UDQCr rUVltJW Wiia uo luut/u no u. i j^hj? ccnt; being" only one-half of tho one per cent, less than tho increaso of tho whole colored race of the United States. It is estimated that tho actual deaths in tho Confederate armies amounted to 350,000 men, or seven-tonths of tho entire strength. In view of this frightful mortality, and that bat Jew birtns couia nave taken placo in the familios of absent soldiers, and that scarcely any increase was derived from immigration, the fact that the increase of the white population of the Southern States 3d only a fraction less lliuu the J increase of the colored race, affords tho strongest proof of f tho abiding vitality of tho whito race of the South. Tho great mortality among the blacks the writer attributes to threo causes?tho crowding of refugee negroes in the camps of ^Northern armies or in tho largo cities, at the close of tho war?tho absence of maternal instincts among their women; I I ^ ~ AS * J'^'i ' " '' ' . )v". < whic^4ojd. to tho loss of children? and the. casting adrift upon the world of old men and womon who *' Were unablo to support themselves. The writer corrects an impressidil which has prevailed in certain qiiari tera, that tbe blacks are drifting to oertain favored localities of the 8outh -where they will ultimately sup, plant the whites. Tho statistics of the censas give no countenance to +Wo riniir Tn tKr* SMrtpfl-nf "Virginia and Missouri slight decrease was to bo oxipectod, but on the contrary iu Georgia, a State not peculialy favorablo to tbo blacks, the increase has been nearly double the' ayerago colored incrcaso; whilst in Louisiana, a sugar and cottoft State where the blacks should have an advantago, the colored increase is considerably less ' than half tho averago; in Alabama under tho average; in Mississippi below two por cent; and tn South Carolina les than one per cent. In Texas, it is true, tho colored incrcaso has been enormous, but that of the whilos has been very nearly equal. The real movement is not from Ibo more Northern to tho Gulf States, but from the rural districts to the towns? the colored population of Charleston having increased fifty per cent, in ten years; that of New Orleans having doubled ; and that of Washington having actually trebled. In two particulars, the writer Gnus very encouraging evidence of progress among the colored race?education and exemption of women from work. In 18G0, there were not more than 32,G29 eolored persons at] school in tho Union ; in 1370 ISO,372 or nearly six times as many. The ....il./lw.m.n] / ?{* irnmnrt frnm Wll?uusn.w u,v, out-door labor, though pressing heavily upon tbo agricultural intcrtsts, conduces to tbejwelfaro of tho colored race, in promoting home interests, and giving proper exorcise to the feelings and duties of motherhood. Tho effect of emancipation upon the white race, though attended with evils unnecessarily severe, the writer thinks will ultimately prove a blessing; and the influx of population and capital, will restore the wasted homes and fields of the Sou'.h. The estimate given of the loss of property at the South by emancipation, is appalling. Estimating the valuo of each slave at $500,. the aggregate value of all tho slaves would have considerably exceeded $2,000,000,000?the amonnt of tho national debt of the United States, and double tbo indemnity which was imposed upon Franco by Germany, and upon a population only one-sixth as largo as that of France?or from $250 to $300 upon each white man, woman and child in tho South. This loss is estimated, not as so much property ? ii W?AO]< |? nP fli/i suuml'avjtuu liuui mu in.nni j Union, ur even from that of the | South, but only from the wealth of the white inhabitants who owned slaves. Irrespective of slaves the deterioration of property is estimated at 27 per cent., and this taken in connection with the rate of increase elsewhere which was 10U per cent., would mako the joss of property at the South over four billions of dollars, or more than tho national debt of Grent Britain, or with tho loss from the liberation of slaves, would pr.v off tho debt3 both of tho United States and Great Britain. Is it not wonderful then that there should bo distrust at the South ; but the evils which exist have not arisen solely from war and ' emancipation, but aro largely owing /to carpel-bag misrulo and Ku-KIuxism. The writer thinks that tho wise and humane policy of the Government would have been to have put the South for a generation under military government? that would have ensured protection to the blacks, and saved the whites from tho last degradation of being iilnH hv f.hpir own slaves. Another policy was adopted, and the e\i! results are seen in tho corruption which exists everywhere, and which is eating out the national lil'o. As a remedy, tho writer suggests a more just and conciliatory policy towards tho South, which should lead to tho cs"tablishmcnt of honest and impartial government there. The success which has attended the Liberal movement in Missouri affords tho most cheering cvidenco of what may be accomplished by a union of lionosl men, without respcct to racc, color or condition. Deatii op ax Esteesed Citizen.? Wc regret to announce tho death of Dr. Paul Connor, an esteemed citizen of Cokesbury, at his residence in that place on Sunday last. lie was over sixty years of age and had passed an honored and useful life, respected and beloved by ull who knew him. Zealous in cveiy good word and work ho identified himself with tho best interests of the community in which ho lived. It, was largely owing to his energy and that of his active co-laboreis, that tho G. ic C. 11. It. was pressed Zo completion, and that the location was established on this side of the Saluda. Ho leaves a wid<it?l snnA mid danfilters, nnd :ii large circle of relatives and friends lo mourn his loss. The Mills House, Charleston, at a reccnt f?ale was purchased by Mr. Geo. W.

"We have not heard what, if any, changes are contemplated, and trust that no unseemly innovations will he made in the policy pursued by their predecessors. The affairs of the institution?financial, nfrinnli.r.nil. and p'Tnnntinnnl?hnvr* j been admirably managed, and we do not suppose that anywhere could be found a more efficient Treasurer than Col. Thomson, or a more competent Superintendent than Mr. Ramey, or a more faithful teacher than Mr. Gibert. The new Board, we believe, arc men of temperate aud conservative views, and we have every reason to think that they will so act as to subserve the best interests of the institution. Tiie Alston House. ? Sec the card of Miss Lizzie C. Cater, the popular proprietress of this well known house, announcing that her recent connection with the Emporium of Fashion will not interfere with its business management, j The Alston House under its present ( management has always been a favorite resort for the traveling public, and we can commend it to their patronage. 2s o efforts are spared to make its guests comfortable, and in the important ' particulars of good rooms, an excellent table, an obliging landlady, and attentive ] ! servants, it will compare favorably (with the best of up-country hotels. ( + The Bills of the Bank of the 1 State.?A mandamus against the , County Treasurer of Charleston to j compel him to receive the bills of . the Bank of the State in payment i of taxes under the recent decision < of the United States Supreme i Court, is to be argued on the 29th ' inst., before Judge Graham at !

This year, he applies three hundred pounds, and by a simple rule of proportion ought to j make two bales to the acre, the 1 land yielding two years ago only j one-half bale to the acre without . fertilizers.
