Fromi all parts of the District we learn that the freedmen are doing well. If we were called upon to advise that class of laborers it would be to tell then by all means stick firmly to their contracts this year. By so doing they will earn i reputation for faithfihiess' thnt will eiinsure a good living. Drones will not be tolerated. If there be a hImiliating specta-le before the world, it is that which is now prusetnted by the Southern States in their-relatiofis to the Federal Govern ment. While voluminous evidence is 1tens of thousands of lists of the nanc. of Southern men who have taken' the oath of allegiance, and the oath of support, to the Constitutionj of die United States, and Pf the UljnioVtlherYunder. In other words, the mere assertions of our politi cal opponents are taken instead of the solemn oaths of ourselves. - 1 We do solennly proclaim that we ab. hor the cojirso pursued by.the Inquisito. rial Committee.appointed by Congress. They thirk, forsooth, that there can be no affiliation on political questions un less we oC the South say socially we love and adore the Yankee radical But the burning stake canl neve extort from us that confession. Sofally, we of the South are not yet pcepared to cast our lot in with those who think now, as they thought through the war, that-we in their nostrils stink-with re bell ion. Pohtically, we have swornI our purpose to abide by the-Constitution and( the UJnion, although that oath im Poses on us the necessity of 'a political affiliation with those for whom we lave a socialaaffection. I? they would re claim the lat '-, let theni shoiy an appre ciation of honuor in oaths to support the political relation we sustain. Weo pro. for monarchiyn, anything to -,radical Stevenism. Ti'he followving testimony fronm a Gen'i H owA n before the reconstruction 4om. wit tee is sim,hhar in its spirit to e mass of evidence which. that committee .has elicited touch ing every oneo of the South. ern States:. . Gent. Charles HI. IHward tesatitled that, in his official - capsoity,, he .visited all the cites and principal town, and every county in South Carolin3. On being aked the question ,by .the com mnttee what was the feeling toward the governmente-whecter it was fuien'dly or unfriendly-he rey ied- lie thought the feeling of tha mna rity of the people of * South Carolina is not kind, and can hardly be called friendly. He did, however, meet with old gentlemen who semed seemed -to ehow a proper spirit' * and 'OA idoubted -disposition to be i faith eThir dijes as chitzds hereaf. 14 ha groat many per. \E)if~i~jJdill feeling and a -dis- r t'as td mn any way they o vuld, the requirments of he governs nent, pupeciplly with referenqep to the iegro. The feeling exhibited toward [nli 1een--these who have bWen-loyal rom the begitning-was. umaistakably )itter. If the military forces were wvithdrawn from South Carolina it would be a sourcesof great injury to the rreedmen throughout the Stats. No northein resident could then remain theri, unless ho courted thefavor of the influential. Tile feeligis more intense among the female Portion of the commu nity, without exception, against north. men. The condition of Georgia and Flori. tla was much the anne-as that of South Carolina, and there .vas hostility against Unioti men and late immigrants from the North. There are some Union men in Georgia and Florida who have been always so, but the prevailing sen timent, which is bound to control, is similar to that of South Carolina. AuTi%i'syne, Among other curiots documents placed in our hands by a friend, is one which we give below, shlowing how ex pensive "walies" we(Ae "long time ago." Here it is verbatin et literatin; "Rec'd of David Millen ono hundred aid twenty-seven Pounds fiv3 shillings for sundry Liquors Expendeq at the Funeral of Hugh Logan Dechiased. December 31st, 1.777. (Signed) JoiN 'ANDERs." The following is the undertakers, re ceipt:. "Rec'd, January 2nd 1778, of Mr. D.rvid Milling, the sum of Fifty Pounds in full for a coffin for Mr. Hugh Logan, MUNGo FIN}.4YsON." The South. It, is with heart felt pleasure that we jtice the favorabla revival of trade and agriculture in the Southern States. From nil sections we continue to redeive reports that augur, well for a most boun. titll crop during the com.ing season. The question of free labor is gradaily developing itself, without the aid of the LVilatitre, and even the journals thut were most de'spondent of the result are now constrained to state that there it in tile- land still. The planters in needs tell on the recuperation that is l)w advaneing with :tcadyv ctri,les. Fefrs are expressed that. a greater brealh of land is being planted with cotton thain is prudeft, so the Western farmers will have to exert themselves to fornish the corn that iii some sections will fall sl4ort of dhe demand. The negroes are working steadily and seem contented with th,wir lot. and ,white inmnigrants are commencing. to flow towards the South, where an am ple reinuneratioi attends every class of labor. Of course all is not yet couleurde rose; much delends on a favorable sea. "on ; many of the planters are inexpe. rien-ed, and have sown' a greater breadth of land.'than they can husband with their limited hands ; the negroes may prove in some places untrust wo thy, and towards the harvest may make demands that will fall heavily on the cultivators ; l)t alil. the turning point will soon be passed, and there will be thousands of speculat ors ueou ring the land for c: ttone, who will be willitig to make good advances on -the crops; by this means money will soon be plea tiful, and the. South will then be able to purchase all the luxuries. of which its markets are now bereft. LIn the miean. time we urge on the planters the neces sity of treating,the freedmen with 'kind nesr, forbearance and liberality, and we feel convinced.ehamt the ne,rt seasone la. bor 'will be re-orgmnizedl on a sound ha sie and the negro will aprove himself wvorshy of his new position. As labor erd they are .of priceless value to our country, but sheoild'theey, t,brough harsh? ness, cruelty, or tjeeir own sloth, merge un,o a lazy thieving horde, then will they be a curse instead of a ble'ssing t.o the land. Otur advice to our South era brethren is "Face" "Tace." WVork rind be silent. All, goes well -Newo York &uthern Exchanf,e. .Late Aaspinarall dates heave been rq. e'ved.

Congressional. WAs1'N1TON, March !.-In the Hodhe, the bill securing civil rights'to all persons without regard to color, in all the States, was referred back to the Judiciary Committee. Many Republi cans disagree as to the Constitational power of Congress to pass the bill in its present shape, believing it will in. aade to too great an extent the rights of the States. In the Senate, the Constitutional amendment apportioning representation among the States was discussed. Mr. Henderson offered a substitute, to the effect that no , State in presenting qualifications f6r voters, shall discrimi. nate on account of colo'r and race. He said that his own State-Missouri-ill give the negro the right of Rulfrage, and the South should be compelled to do so in five years. The substitute was not ag%ped to.
