Mr. Secretary MoCulloch has reoeotly famished a statement of the National debt, OA it efnnA fififlon d?in *an Ttio amnnnl "? ?W?W **?WV4* VHIJX "fjW * "V MW.W-W. then outstanding was $2,757,253,275 The debt bearing interest in coin is 91,108,622,641, on which th$ interest is 964,521,837. Tfce debt bearing interest in lawful money is $1,280,156,545, on which the interest is 874,740,630. The debt on which interest has ceased is 91,527,120: The debt bearing no interest is $357,906,990. The total interest, both in coin and lawfnl money is 9139,262,468. The total of legal-tender notes in circulation is $685,236,269. The amount of fractional currency is $25,750,000. The amount of ooin in the Treasury is 975,338,000. Total amount of coin and currency in the Treasury, 9116,739,632. . Stupendous as this debt appears, there is nothing in its proportions to ocoasion apprehensions of either possible or probable repudiation, if prompt and energetic steps conl<l be immediately taken to reduce our national expenditures. Of the 1,000,000 troops who were under arms in April, 700,-1 000 have been mastered oat of service; ' bat between 250,000 and 300,000 arc still nnder arms. The estimated expenses of the Government are still nearly $50,000000 per month, or, in roand numbers, $600,000,000 per annum. Indeed, it bos been oomputed that the expenses of the Government from the 1st 'of July last to the 1st of February, 1860, will amount to $334,000,000. The probable expenses of the War Department .are placed at $200,000,000,000, and those of the navy at $40,000,000, or $240,000,000 for both branches of the. service for six months.? Oar receipts in that time, it is estimated, will not exceed $296,000,000, which amount falls abort of meeting the expenses of the government and the interest on the national debt together nearly $40,000,000. From this it will be perceived that, as peace now prevails, the expenses of the army and navy might be easily reduced $70,000,000, whioh would leave a handsome surplus.of $30,000,000 iu the National Treasury ou the 1st of February, 1866. The available resources of the Federal Government, pending the period to elapse before the action of Congress on that subject, which cannot occur before the 1st of February next, is a subject of interest at the present time. The following extract from the Chicago Tribune assures us that they are ample. The national debt will be inoreased somewhat, but it is reasonably certain that no serious embarrassment can oeour for the want of funds: mi 1 ij it. m JLUB suiuuub ui guiu uuw iu me -Lreusury if about $36,000,000, and of balances in the Sub-Treasuries to the credit of the department about $30,000,000. Here i'b an aggregate of aetpal available means for the coming six months as follows: Loan, $184,000,000; revenue, from all source^, at least* $179,000,000; cash on bend, $65,000,000, being a total of $428,000,000. I must again add that not a few gentlemen in position to knowingly judge of the revenue receipts during the period to the 1st of February, put the amount at over $200,000,000 instead of $179,000,000, whioh figure 1 use. To this aggregate of $428,000,000 must be added, as part of the capital with whieh the Treasury can be managed during the fall and winter, the authority to issue certificates of indebtedness without limit. ' Of course It bow becomes important to inquire what bills the department must mept prior to next February. On this head I preface by saying that the aggregate estimates for the whole fiscal year ending with next June, are but about $650,000,000. The main item in this estimate is $480,r 000,000 for the War Department?for the I whole year remember; or say for the inter-1 veiling six months, $240,000,000. This was made on the supposition that we should have a large body of troops in service till {all} that the war might continue through the summer, that there would be the waste and cost of much fighting, that there would be the ezpense of large transportation?in a word, that the expense of the last summer, fall and winter might be substantially continued for several months after the beginning of the fiscal year. Yet only one month of that has passed, and the army is but a shadow of its former self. The next most important item in the estimates for the fiscal year is $112,000,000 for the Navy Department?or say $56,000,000 for the half year. The same state of facts which warrants the reduotion of the War Department estimates abont one-fifth, [ gives me authority for saying toattne JNavy Department wiU ask for no mora than $40,000,000 during the opening six months.? For the civil service, pension list, internal works, &c., &c., tbe aggregate estimate for the year was less than $60,000,000, and we may grant that about 825,000,000 of it must be paid before February. Here then is an aggregate 'as follows: War Department for the oomiifg six months, say $200,000,000 j Navy Department, $40,000,000; all other departments, $25,000,000?being a total of $265,000,000. To this showing I add that there will be abont $32,000,000 gold interest and $37,000,000 enrrenoy interest to pay during the.same period?the gold being already in the Treasury. I farther add that, while in estimating the resources cf the department, I make safe and snre work by calculating on the smallest figures; in giving its liabilities I face the largest estimates. Now strike the balance. The maximum of liability for the Bix months is, say in round numbers, $335,000,000, of which a considerable proportion will be settled with interest-bearing certificates, and of whioh another considerable proportion can be pat over till Congress adopts .farther financial measures. The minimum of actual resources is $428,000,000, to whioh most be added all*tbe receipts from sales of .proper-' Jtj by the War and Navy Departments, and the power to loan at least $100,000,050 more through certificates of indebtedness.. "What is here for fear, or doubt,, or dread?" APPLICATIONS FOR PARDON. His Excellency Governor Perry has finished the Greenville Mountaineer with the following rules to be observed in making applications for Pardon : ? The Petition must be addressed to His Excellenoy Andrew Johnson, President of the United .States. It should state the residence, occupation and-age of the applicant. Which of the fourteen exceptions he is t* 11 i - ? * *a a _ v? a _ a _ uaDie to, ana mat do is exciuaea irom me clemency of the Amnesty Proclamation by none of the other exceptions. Let him state fairly and trnthfally, any cironmstances which may entitle him to Executive clemenoy. He most express his loyalty to the Union, and his purpose, in good faith, to preserve and maintain it for the fatnre. He mast state that no proceedings have been taken oat against him or his property under the confiscation act. There are two oaths to be endorsed or acoompany his petition?one that he has read the Amnesty Proclamation, and is not liable to any other of the fourteen exceptions, than those eta ted in his Petition? the other oath is that prescribed in the Amnesty Proclamation of President Johnson. Where any person is- in doqbt, as to whether his taxable property amounts to over twenty thousand dollars, it is safer to make application for a pardon and state his doubts. The valuation o? the property must be at the date of President Johnson's Proclamation. All property must be included which is liable to be taxed, lands, money at interest, Bank stocks, &c. It is not necessary for Post Masters, who were not appointed by the President and approved by the Senate of the so-oalled Confederate Government, to apply for pardon. They were not so appointed nnlesB their perquisites amounted to 31000. It is understood tho Attorney General has decided as above stated. As to what participation.in the rebellion renders an application necessary, it may be answered, any, "directly or indirectly." The Petition should be written on foolscap paper, and folded twice, with the writing, and not across it. The name of the applicant and nothing more, should be endorsed on the Petition after being folded. All applications made to the Provisional Governor will be forwarded by him to the President, unless otherwise directed. Preventives Against Cholera.? The visit of the cholera to this oountry, in 1849, was le83 fatal in Cincinnati than elsewhere. The Gazette ascribes it to the faot that the streets and alleys were thorooghly cleansed beforehand, the gutters plentifully sprinkled with lime, and other preventives resorted to as antidotes. Addresses were issued by the most eminent physicians, in whioh people were urged to the necessity of a thorough vigilance as to their habits and their homes. They gave the following special advice: Avoid laying aside prematurely flannel or other warm clothing. On no occasion remaio long in damp places. Never sit in a strong curreht of air at night. Avoid loading the Btomach with food at nlfeht. Eat meals at regular hoars. A plain nourishing diet by far the best. Salted meats far better than fresh. Mealy potatoes, boiled rice and hominy, recomended, but hot bread to be ignored*.. As to drinks all exoess was to be avoided, but those aoocustomed to its use were not advised to lay it aside. t)f Bait liquors, M -' " 9 freshly brewed, strong drink was recommended. The National Debt.?Estimating the national debt at twenty-fire hundred millions of dollars, and apportioning it aooordiogto the number of white mail adults over twenty years of ag6 in the different sections of the' country, it has been foand that the proportion of the New England States is 9808,089,352 ; of the Middle States $740,195,342 ; of the Western I States $893,288,781; of the. Southern States $461,929,846; and of the Paoifio : States $95,896,677. This calculation.makes the South responsible for over four hundred and sixty millions of debt '' From the Philadelphia Inquirer. . JOHN S. MOSEBY. John S. MdSeby, the famous guerrilla ohief, was risible on the streets of Richmond recently. Somebody has described Mosqby as a handsome man in personal appearance, but he is nothing of the rort.? Of ordinary height, his build is goodenough, bat his faoe is very common-place, and his light brown hair, worn unkempt, adds nothing to its attractiveness. Moseby'3 features and expression would impress you as those of a man resolute and ounning, not captiously honest nor rieionsly cruel, and I suspect that in tile stories of his ornelty he has been somewhat belied. His business in Riottmond is to regain possession of some tobacoo be olaitna, and I was sony to hear him remark that it is all he has in the world, for I know be will not get it ; and be owes the Inquirer for a bone , and divers other articles, taken from me by his band last summer, and I imagine onr chance for restitution to be small. In another sense it was pleasant to hear him admit his poverty, for if he told the troth, it. shows that he was greivously swindled at the. final division of the spoils on the breaking up of his command,, and further, it controverts the uncomfortable axiom concerning honor among thieves. When the life of John Singleton Moseby comes to be written, it will show a succession of startling personal adventures nn- , surpassed by those of any partizan ohief on ( record. That Moseby was always hanging on the outskirts of our armies, cutting off , our trains, capturing our stragglers, and harassing us iu every possible way, the peo_ 1 ll_ 1 1 A. Xl J .1 1 pie geucrauy nuuw, uui iuej uo uui &buw that he went in and oat of oar camps at his own pleasure and never was once detected. It is said ("and undoubtedly truly) that while Burnside lay opposite Fredericksburg, in the winter of 1862, Moseby dined with him in the oharaoter of a Union fanner from aoross the river, and gathered, with his shrewd cunning, from the general table-talk^ much valuable information, with whioh he regained the rebel lines without molestation. One of the best things told of him ocourred that same winter, and in the same1 neighborhood. Bnrnside, that winter, was literally" badgered by Moseby. He seemed nbiqnitons, and at last it became dangerous to go from camp at all, as the least ramble was sore to result in the capture by Moseby. At last Burnside became wearied oat, and determined to capture the partisan, and 4 j\ iUii. nnni J 1..A 1.1, n. n n I r.

One day, one of these ( detachments led by a lieutenant colonel, was going up the Dumfries road, when, I from a house' in sight of the Federal lines, a man emerged,* dressed in the uniform of a Federal capt|[n, and attended by one ] orderly, dressed in oavalry bine. At the | gate were two horeeis,'marked U. S., and furnished with our regulation saddle and ( bridle, and mounting, the oaptain rode up ^ and'aocosted the colonel,' who wa?* still ( marching up the road. The colonel inform- , ed his new oompanion that he was in searoh | of this Moseby, and asked if he had heard anything of him. The captain had heard and knew to a certainty that an hour ] before Moseby had been at Jones', four miles up the road. Visions of promotion 1 and newsnaDer naraeraiths dancinz before ' him, the colonel ordered "trot, march," while the captain with bis orderly, dashed across the field to a farm house, to get some milk, he said, before returning to camp.? Arrived at Jones', the colonel found that Moscby had indeed been there, hut also found that he had departed in the direotiou of Burnside's camps. Back the colonel beat in haste, making inquiries everywhere, but finding no trace. Arrived again at the house from whioh the oommunioative captain bad appeared, the woman, accosted him, and this colloquy ensued : Womaq?Kurnej, who was that ere Yank oapting met ye here as ye was gwine tother way? Colonel?I don't know his name, but he belonged to a Massachusetts regiment. Woman?Yew; welljcneow aint you sold ? That air was John Moseby. Colonel?H?! And he rode back to camp and said nothing whatever about his morning's .work, except to report that he had not captured him. Some of his men did, however, and that story floated afloat tae army daring toe rest of the war. Many saoh things as this are told of Moseby, and his power of mischief was so sensibly felt in the Valley, last snmmer and autumn, that Phil. Sheridan used to swoar at him in his most hearty style. Moseby now is a citizen of the United States, no better and no worse than the thousands of other Viiginians who have laid down their arms. |9" Thirty-five tuns of mail matter are daily received at the post office in New York city, and an equal amount n sent away, .making seventy tuns handled every 24 hours.

Hear him : It is a good thing for a man to pay attention to his family. Provided he has one. Married men generally hare. So have I. It is the natural consequence of getting married.

The'copper wore well, and I have an idea that oopper boots would be a good idea, bqt I couldn't find a metallic shoemaker to carry it out. Mrs. O'L. also became attached to oopper, and thought it would be an improvement nncT save sowing if boys' pantaloons were, like ships and tea-kettles, copper-bottomed The suggestion was A No. 1, but we haven't tried it yet. Copper so ran in my head at the time that O'Fake eilled me a copperhead. This was the origin of the term. Mrs. Q'L. is a managing woman. She makes trousers for our son, Alexander The* mistocles, out of mine, when I've done with them. He can get through three pair to my one, ordinarily, and I am obliged to wear out my olothes faster than I used to, to keep him supplied. I onoe suggested that it might be within the resources of art end industry to make him a pair out of new material. Mrs. O'L. said positively that it eouldn't be done. It would ruin us. She concluded that it was cheaper to cut up a pair I had. paid twelve dollars for. I subsequently .found upon inquiry that new oloth for that purpose could have been knfiMlift .knnf fvn UUUgU? iUi fivvitw ?T?? wv?.W|V. I ventured to tell Mrs..O'L. expecting s triumph of mole foresight over female laok of judgment. She gave me a look of scorn, as she wanted to inow if I had asked the price of "trimmings." Trimmings were too much for. me. 1 have been afraid of trimmings ever linee. In addition to clothes, the soion of our house runs up other expenses. But what is the expense compared with the joy that a father ffeels, when after a day's-laborious exercise at the office, wrestling with a steel pen, he returns to his do mastic retreat, ana is met at me gate oy a imiliog cherubim, who, in tones that go to bis fond parent's heart, and make him for* get his troubles, with, "Hallo, pa, giro me a peony." Tour hand immediately goes to-the seat of your affections?your pocket?and draws forth the coveted ooin, which is promptly invested in molasses candy. * SENSIBLE TALE. The New York Times speaking of North* srn sentiment and expectations abont the South says : "We (the northern people and authorities) are too exacting also in regard to the politioal action of the Southern people? We expeotthem, now that the war is over ind they are beaten, to become at onoe, Dot only loyal oitizens, obeying all the laws; ind sustaining fully the national authority, bat thorough-going abolitionists, and advocates of negro suffrage. Anything short )f this we ooDsider half-way loyalty and think they have not been whipped quite enough yet. We denounoe them as still Secessionists at heart, and oatl for their exclusion from the rights of citizenship. This is unreasonable and nnwise. We have really nothing to do with their hearts. We have no right to exact the complete change of sentiment and feeling whioh we iemand. We have a right to insist that they shall obey the law, that they shall acknowledge and respect the national authority, and oondoot themselves as peaoeful law-abiding citizens. If they do this, we can demand nothing more. They may believe in their hearts what they please; they may feel as they like about the war and the government; they may be at heart rebellions still; bat that is really none of oar business. We cannot control the?r opinions or their sentiments; we can and frost sontrol their oonduct, but that is ali. Nor is it reasonable to expect that the mass of the Southern people can or will beoome suddenly devotees of dootrines and sentiments whioh they have hitherto abhorred, tnd against whioh they have staked their fortunes and their lives. Men do not thus instantly change their whole natures on compulsion. And any ostentatious pretensions of such a change wonld be hypocritical.? The great body of the Southern people were unquestionably honest and sinoere in the opinions, the prejudices and the resentments whioh led them to rebel against the (Government; and it wonld be folly to suppose that those festing? would all be at once eradicated by the simple feot that they have been beaten in the field. A radical ohange in the sentiments of the Southern people, concerning slavery aud the purpose and temper of the national authority, can only be wrought by time, by wise laws wisely administered, and by their experiance of the new condition upon vbich they have entered. " Nor should we desire to break the spirit, or crush the self-respect of the people of the Southern States. Their courage, their resolute and determined spirit, is now among the priceless possessions of the irhole oonntry. It ha* been our enemy, but hereafter it is to be our friend. JTt has been toned against oa,' end ben vainly sought oar destruction; henceforth ifrfights only on oar side, end swells the power end the courage with which we may confront * ; world is arms. It would be suicidal in us to crash or destroy it?we should be destroying* part of that winch is to give nil the proudest place ever held by any nation on the face of the earth. They confess -i and feel themselves overcome?subdued, subjugated. From no quarter do we "hear the faintest hint of any wish even to renew the contest. It is not for ns to poison the woond we have inflieted on their pride, nor to stab, with instil ting blows, the dead body of their ambUfen." . An Adventurous Female?She Wins He& Wager.?An evening or two since, a well known gentleman and lady, in tfiSa ftitv. hntH mnflft m. vimi of 9100 for the performance of * specified set, by the lady, to which the gent staked hie. two fifties that die would not We the oonmge to fulfil her promise. The wsger was as follow*: ?That on Friday morning, August 4, between the hoots of 10 and 12, the lady would go up to a strfinge gentleman, on Fourth, between Main and Ladlaw' streets, and kiss him, the said gentleman kissed to 4 he A .person who never chewed tobacco?' The bet was a onrioos one, but onr heroine determined to make the effort to win, and being nearly related to an ex-congressman, she felt that her adventurous conduct would not, if discovered and made pnblio, be regarded as impertinent or indecent. On Friday morning she dressed- herself in her prettiest, and leaving the fine atone residence of her parents she sauntered to the Fourth-street race coarse, where ?100 Was to be lost or won, and a conquest for boldness and female ohivalry verified. The honr of ten arrived, and as the blushing maiden gazed wistfully on the lips of every male passer-by to detect the tobaoco juice or its inevitable result on the teeth, she discovered that'her friends, knowing the secret, were in advantageous positions, anxiously awaiting the sequel of her cool and iotrepich'&otion. Time flew by, and. the indications were' apparent that, the young lady must lose. Still, nothing daunted, she continued her keen, searching pursuit. At a few minutes past eleven o'clock, a gray headed veteran, an old and highly respectable oitizqn, ^walking westwardly, on Fourth between Broadway and Ludlow, was suddenly brought up standing kj the lady, who, throwing her arms around his neck, kissed him fairly in the mouth. The old gentleman Was completely nonplussed, and while standing all amazed and nervbnsly excited at the public ordeal he had just passed through, the friends came op and asked, "Do. you chew tobaoeo, Mr. r "No* gentlemen; I never used tobacco of any kind ia.alhmy life."? The gentlemen then explained the whys and wherefores of this episode, or street reoontre, and apologized to the aged citizen for the assault and battery which he readily aoeepted, with an intimation that the as Molt might be repeated with no serious objections. The two fifties were then, paid over, and the happy party returned to their homes, highly delighted with their morning's amusement. We may add that the lady very gracefully tendered the old gentleman one of the fifty dollar bills, which he modestly declined, and added, "I should ' be the giver, Miss, not the receiver." The parties then made each other's acquaintance, and separated.?Cincinnati Enquirer. : mm? Negro Suffrage in Ohio.?Governor Todd, in a recent speech in Ohio, said: "Now, to to this amendment to our State Constitution whereby the negro Bhall be permitted tovote in Qihiq, I *ould pay that my only objection to it is that I don't think it is to interest of the blaek man to settle in Ohio.-> Slavery being abolished in the Southern States now, I think- the olimate, soil and productions of the South are much better fitted for him, and he. for them, than at the North. I should be sorry to mislead the netrro from his true interests; hence I o - - ? think it would be nowise to invite him to ' oome here, aq wo wonld by giving bim the ' right of suffrage here. The true friend to the black man will discharge his duty to 1 him better by advjsing him to seek a cii- 1 mate where slavery does not exist?a oli- 1 mate and a country more oongenial to his taste and more profitable to hie labor than 1 these Northern States and this Northern j olimate can be." j Woman's Temper.?No trait of ohar- 1 acter is more valuable in a female than the possession of a" good Temper. Some can never be happy without it. It is like the. flowers that spring up in our pathway, re- < vivlng and cheering us. Let a man go ' aw flAAlktnn ie m WA*i1 rliA. 1 UUU1C mu Ulgu^ uvvr DWVWU^ m ? nvnw U?v- tatcd by a.good disposition ! It issunshiBe 1 fallicg upon his heart.

It is more valuable than i gold; it captivates more than beauty, and J to the close of life it retains its freshness 1 and power. ISP The New York Times says there t has not been a time in this generation when t the language of the North and South to- t ward each other has been so respectful and j considerate as since the war. The Times j says that the Northern idea that the South 1 had degenerated into a race of effeminate braggarts, and the Southern idea that the North had lost every -element of manhood < in the' passion for gain, and would submit 1 to anything rather than fight, - have both ^ been entirely annihilated. The tug for i four years has shown the stuff of the men ? on both sides^of Mason's and Dixon's line. < ? V THE IMPORTANCE OFRABOBT* Many of ouryoungujefo tod young women seem loth to go to work. Too many young men are Iodking for clerkship*, or fof aojnething to happen by which they can life without manual labor. Young men, yon are burning, wasting precious daylight. You will have to work, and the Booner yon begin the better. A population will soon crowd in here, from, the North and'from Europe) that will outstrip you, and leave yon an drones in thft great lure*, unless yon go to work note. By beginning now yon can plaee yourselves in a situation referred to; but if with your habits, and your ideas of labor, yon wait until that population poors in, and you then take only an em start with it, yon will he left hopelessly behind. No .one should be ashamed of labor. It heighthena the bloom of the young woman, nd is a pledge that she will make a good ?i?e. The habit of labor thus formed, she will impart to her children, tad they .will be "jewels" indeed, if reared is the praetice of industry, temperance, and the fear of God. Diligence is business is a crown of glory to the young mas. He may be humble, is his circumstances and may feel at times that no one thinkr of Or regards him; but let him toil on, conquering by labor, and maintaining a good obaraoter for integrity and morality, and applying himself, whenever ho can, to biB books, and a measure of success will at length be his, for which he had not even hoped in the onset. Poor ybung men, struggling to bettey their condition, often think that they are not notioed or appreciated by the leading, substantial men of the community. In this they are mistaken. In almost every in stance they ire known, and talked of, and the time at last comes when they ate taken by the hand and led op higher in the sphere of life, and in the road to success. Labor is inducible. It conquers everything. The power of application, physical and mental, made Benjamin Franklin Roger Sherman, Htfnry Clay, Thomas Effing, Nathaniel P Banks, Horace Greely, Francis P. Blew, Abraham Lincoln, and Andrew Johnson men 'of great usefulness and great renown. Whenever we hear that young men are complaining of hard labor, and that-they are deposed to regard it as dishonorable, we feel liftwayfeg to them, "Look at Abraham Lineohi, the rail-splitter, and Andrew Johnson, the tailor, and at Governor Holdeo, the printer; and go thou and do likewise-" Slavery has been abolished, and our young men and young women can no longer depend on slave labor. If they will realize at once their situation, in this and other respects, and will go to work, and cultivate habits of industry and self reliance, it will tarn out, in the end, that the abolition of stateiy has bee*a blessing rather than an injury to them. Bnt work, they moat, or they will become the inferiors of the thrifty and energetic populations that will soon poor in; and instead of oontroliog society and the affairs of the land of their birth, they will find themselves poor and without influence. This is the troth. We feel that it is good advice, and* we trust it will be taken and acted on.?Raleigh Standard,I. Mill l Confiscation in Louisiana.?There has been a good deal of movement in real estato this week, including several large 8eoeasion and confiscation sales. Very good prioes have been realized, except in confiscated property. Many fearsare entertained in regard to tides, which may be materially affected by the march of events and the decision? of the Supreme Court.? The property of John Slidell, comprising 842 lots and squares of ground, with stores, dwelling houses and a banking house, were sold for $100,410. Before the war, it was estimated at $800,000. Had the war not taken place, it is estimated that Mr. Slidell would have been worth $2,000,000. As it was, when the war broke oat, he sold his Northern property pretty weli*to Mr. Bel* moot for Louisiana bonds, wbioh after wards largely advanced, and considerable of Southern property was also well disposed of. In the ease of the recent sales theft were powerful intervenors, who olaim under mortgages the full value of the property, and will doubtless carry their claims ap to the Supreme Court Very little, in faot, will be realized to the Government of these confiscation sales. They are most of them encumbered by just olaiaia which will be doubtlessly allowed. Id the oaae of Mr. SlidelTs intervenors, fraud 4s charged, and the review will depend upon the facts. New Orleans Letter. The Beginning or the End.?We understand, says the New Orleans Picayune, that, on aeoount of the demoralization of aegro labor in many parts of the 8tate, theshite population have vigorously and in iustriously taken hold of the work themwives, and are producing -some of tire best trope now 'growing. The people are beginning to see that under the new system )f African labor, or went of system rather, 10 farther dependence Is to be put in that sace, and they have resolved to do their irork themselves.
