The Effect of the War and of Emancipation
npon the Two Races
at the Sonth.
'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. Williams, and will be put in
thorough repair and opened to the
public on the 1st October next.
Trustees or De La .Howe.?A
new Board of Trostees of this noble
charity and time-honored institution,
was appointee! at the, rceent
-Aac.mn nf the Leff'isnmfrei 'consist
' ing of Messrs. 0. B, fiuffin, xllw..
M. Christian, J. C. Finley, and
' Wharton. The new. Board met
j here 011 yesterday, and adjourned
over to meet again on Monday,
M'ithout having transacted any business.
"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 !
Chambers. A similar case will be *
argued before Judge Maher, of the '
Second Circuit, on the 8th inst.

fig?* Wo learn that our townsman,
Mr. James II. Perrin, is conJ
templating the erection of a residcnce
upon the lot o*vned by him,
adjoining Col. Robertson's. With |
its handsome shrubbery, the loca- ,
fcion is one of the most desirable in
town, and a tasteful new residence
would add very much to its beauty, i
and to the attractiveness of that '
part of the town.

Yvhere's You 11 Mule? ? Our
friend Tusten thinks that of the :
nine hundred persons'who were in
town on Saleday, about seven hundred
were in pursuit of a secondhanded
mule, to plough the corn '
and cotton. Our friend is in want
of ono cf the same sort to work in I
his renowned cotton patch. Let all
owners of sccond-handcd mules 1
prepare to supply the demand.
Fertilizers will Pay. ? Our (
friend, Mr. J. I). Rogers, is prepar- ,
iug for cultivation in cotton, two ,
acres of land upon the Alston lot, (
on which he made last year a bale ^
to the acre, by the application of (
one hundred pounds of guano to
the acre. 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.
