considerable interest in Presbytery. 1st.
The faot that oor colored people have, in a
great measure, ceased to attend on the
means of graoe, and onr colored members,
in many instances, have absented themselves
from the ordinances of the obnroh. No
adequate remedy, however, ooold be suggested,
and we mast simply wait until God
in his providence may indioate his will in
the matter, and the .path of procedure for
biB Church.
The other snbjeot referred to was the
usurpation and tyranny of the Cbnreh
North. The General Assembly of the 6.
S. Presbyterian Church, met last May in
m#? an^.A #-?C wn aamliwuii
ia part, has been published in the Central
Presbyterian, from which we received it.
That Assembly passed some resolutions and
orders, entirely ignoring the. Presbyterian
Church, South,and branding all whoadhere
to it, as erroristt and schismatics. They
declare cur churches vaeant and appoint
Missionaries to re organize the churches in
the rebel States, and to take charge of all
ohipvA edifices, and church property. And i
in case we prove refractory, they invoke the 1
stung arm of military power for oar suppression.
With reference to this matter, Presbyte.
ry adopted some resolutions, simply denying
the ohargeft preferred, and appointing
commissioners to attend the General AsMDihls

A MEMBER.
The Labor Question in the South.
A South Carolina planter sent the following
fetter to the editor of the N. York
World :
" In your paper of the 19th inst. you shg
gest that Southern planters "will inevitably
try what can be done with coolie or Asiatic
labor, if the experiment of free-negro labor
does not hereafter work well," &c. That ;
experiment has, io the judgment of many,
already failed. The history of the current :
year demonstrates' the .unreliability of free ;
negro labor. Myown experience can be
sustained'by hundreds. My former slaves <
have had tbd uncontrolled management of |
the opop now growing on my lands. They j
planted, under a foreman of their own choice, ' j
what lands and grains they pleased, when j
they pleased, and cultivated them as they |
, thought fit, .without any interference what j
joever on my part. The consequence is that i
. aot one tenth of the grain, &c., that ought ,
to be and nsnally is prodnoed will be made. j
My position was notaltogother voluntary.? i
Tt! van fnropd nnnn mn hv thn nnclnnt nr re
fusal of the military authorities .to eaforoe |
the coptraot made by me with the negroes, |
under their direotion and with their prom- t
iae to enforce it, nod which oontraot the j
negroes disregarded at will. Still, it serves (
to show whatr may be expected of them, i
when working without sufficientL control.-? ,
The reeult has been ss stated; and I, with
many others similarly situated, are aoxiou? <
to substitute coolie <yr Asiatio labor. We
are enoonraged to mvie the experiment
here by the success which .has attended it
in Calafbrnia, where it was introduced some
; yeaWago. If you can put m* in the way
of learning how, when, and on (What terms
they can be. procured, yon will maoh oblige i
"me. '4

* letter of bu correspondent as follows : ,
"If the coolie experiment should ever be i
tried oo the soothern plantations, it would (
libfc be started by an-individual planter. It i
wouldriequire a preconcerted movement by 1
an association having capital at its command, c
Trith the preliminaries all,settled the yeur i
previous to the intrpdnotion of the laborers. ]
Such an experiment, if ever adopted at all, i
wonid be premature until the trustworthi- ]
xtssi of free negro labor has been well test- \
e^iy. ;Tbia year is naturally a year of coo- <
fusion. The suddenness of the transition <
from free 'to slave labor is an evil to both j
races; an-evil aggrrvated by the fcot that i
there aTe nc' local authorities competent to 1
deal with the problem, aod enforce contracts 1
between employers and laborers. In tbe ;
owe of oor co. rrospondent, it appears, by his ,
own statemen t> that the sotiroe of disaster
was the failurt "of the military authority to
compel the negr ^ to.keep their contraots.
When jurisdiction over this subject is remitted
to the St* ^te authorities, there will
doubtless be laws for enforoing, on one side,
the agreements ei tiered into at the beginning
of the season, and protecting, on tho
other, the laborers-against harsh and tyrannical
treatment. These laws, made by legislators
conversant with the local circumstances
and understanding the negro char- ;
actor, will doubtless be in better adaptation
to the interests, both of planters and iabo- i
rers, than military regulations founded on I
imperfect knowledge. Bat in circumstances (
so now, even the State legislatures will probably
find that their beBt contrived laws need I
amendment, and they must gradually feel <
their way 'to the true system, aided by the 1
light of experience.
The coolie experiment is a thing to be \
thought of only as a last resort. It is, on i
all aoooants, desirable that the freedmen i
should become ef&oient laborers; and it 1
wonld be the height of imprudence to give I
op in deapair,beoause free negro labor does t
not'succeed at enoe when the whole sooial t
and industrial system of the South is at six- 1
es and sevens, xne experiment cannot pe
fairly tried until after the re-establishment
of the local authorities to superintend'it."
Beaufort District*
We make the subjoined extraot from a
letter addressed to Governor Peery, by
Messre. John H. Screven, W. J. Kibk
and T E. Screven of Beaufort District".
The letter is copied from the Colombia
Phcenix.
slr: We, the undersigned, citizens of
Beanfort District, having just returned from
% visit to the town of Beanfort by land, bave
oonoloded that it would be for the interest
of the State, to give you the result of our
observations.
We find that no more than-, about onefourth
of Port Royal Island is planted;
that of that uoder cultivation the corn crop
is loft, and the ootlon planted in patohes
and overgrown with grasa neatly, as high as
the cotton.* Tho negroes on Hilton Head
are in a starving oonditien. Those on Port
Royal say tbey have seen hard times. Out
of a gang of one hundred at the beginning
of the war, bat thirty remain. There is a
great deal of sickness and mortality amongst
them. We find alto that those who left
the main land and went over to the islands,
will be sent back to the main as soon as
the crops are gathered. There are very
few negroes at present on the mainland in
Beaufort Distriot. Only a few farms in the
upper part of the Distriot are onltivated.?
When the oold weather comes, there will
be thousands of negroes from the islands
and npper country flocking to the vacant
plantations, without, or nearly destitute of,
food. Moreover, they have been taught to
believe, by the Freedmen's Bareari, that
the whole of Beaufort Distriot is abandoned
and dedioated to their use?that tbey
are to be oolonized there. They therefore
look upon the owners of, the land as intruders
and enemies. Conversation with the
negroes demonstrated this foot. Add to
this that the negro garrisons at Poootaiigo,
Grahamville, and on Port Royal Island and .
Hilton Head inflame their hatred and de- j
Bire to obtain the land of their former own- {
A?a kn Ann maano in fkoir nAVAf Tho

garrison at Poootaligo recently aroosod their }
determination to'drive the whites oat of tbg ?
District* ?nd bat for the banding together ^
of the- latter and their threats, wonld doabt- |
less hare done so. The recent infamous j
outrages of the Poootaligo garrison upon a t
Family of respectable white females, was |
the first outbreak of this determination.? f
There is a general feeling of insecurity
among families on acoonnt of the presenoe jj
of oolored troops and from vagrant and j
starving negroes from the islands. L
We have the honor, farther, respectfully J
to state, that the Freedman's Bnrean regards ;
all laud South of the Charleston and 8a- f
vannah Railroad as abandoned, although s
your Ezoellenoy is aware, doubtless, that (
planters of that section were ordered to remove
daring the war by the late Confeder- *
ate authorities. The Bureau has agents
now going over the Distriot reporting laud
as abandoned, with intention to sell them
or colonize negroes on .them for threeyears. r
We will also mention the ftsofc here, that the c
citizens of Beaufort District were advised $
by the Legislature of the State, to remove t
from their homes with their property, just g
prior to Sherman's invasion of this State.
Many of these citizens have lost everything ,
>ut their land, which is now threatened to it
)e taken away, and if not soon allowed to i
'etnrn, and peaoeably onlrivate their farms, fj
viil be in a starving condition They are l
inxioos to return at onee tu<prepare their c
and for next year's crop.
In order that this communication may p
lave doe weight with yonr Excellency, we ]
)eg leave to refer yon to the Delegates to q
;he Convention from Barnwell and Bean- t
:ort Distriots, as to the character of the on- f
lersigned. And forther, yonr Excellency I
s authorized to make any use of this com- 0
nunication yon may think proper. g

Speech of Maior General Hancock at ?
the Odd Fellows' Banquet in Baltimore.
J!
Mb. Chairman, Gentlemen of Balpimore,
and the Guests We Have Met *
Hebe to Honor?I would that some 1
worthier tongue Had been selected to respond
to the toast just given. This being a 1
aatioual occasion it would have been ap- t
propriate to have selected the Lieutenant c
General for this service. His remarks i
night have been more condensed, but he *
would have done justioe to the theme. If ?
}?3oeral Grant's modesty prevents him from' a
ndulgibg in oratory, he is none die less a
forcible. He is reticent in war, yet that is t
me of the qualities which aided in bis grand *
inocess;why may it not do so in time of 1
peace ? It may yet be (if it is not so now) ?
that Grant, who is first in war, though sk 1
lent in peaoe, shall be'first in the hearts of a
his oouutrymen. The army and the navy, t
with the people who furnished the sinews I
if war, have fought and wop a gigantic
ight, and with an enemy whose prowess e
uade them worthy of oar steel. It has }
been bat a few months since the government t
had more tbaa a million of men under arms t
in the army alone. Now there are one fifth 1
of that number in servioe, and they will <
soon be dieoharged. It was feared by t
many, judging from the experience of oth- *
er. nations after great wits, that the volunteers
after being discharged would not readily
return to their eivil pursuits, bat would
want new excitements?new wars Batsuoh <
has not been the case. They have gone jto ]
their homeB rejoicing, and those who remain
in service are homing to follow their exam- ;
pie. Their coodoot in this respect has
been worthy of their^alor and intelligence. \

tod generation. It may be urged that we
iave grievances to redrew. I believe these
grievances can be settled by time alone.?
The power of- the government, aa shown in
:he late contest, is a star in our escutoheoa
chose rays extend sufficiently far to give
Igfcrt even to Loodon and Paris. The Rio
Grande is hut a short distance in comparson,
and 1 firmly believe from xmy own
knowledge of the country and experience
'herein, thai Ope Emperor of the French
oW 'be glad to vacate Mexico, if hie is vl'owed
time to do to with honor. We paid
tome millions to get out of that country
ifter capturing its capital, and it is
thought it will not cost France leas than
t cost us, and every day's delay will
idd to the expense without a chance of
compensation; for I consider it as cerfntm
thn* tJw. r/miftHWji. OCCWDOr
ion of that country by a foreign force,
ohich entered it in hostility to our interests
ind prejudices, will certainly Head to vir.
[t is now, however, time for m to cultivate
he arts of peace, and bind up the wdiinds
nade by the iate rebellion. * We may defer
he day of retribution until are are strong
tgain, without resting under the imputation
)f fear. The Emperor of the Frenoh went
o Mexico when it Was convenient for him.
iVe can defer meeting him there until it is
lonvenient for us. Bfrt it may not ber hesessary,
and in suoh case we shall have
lone enough in our day for the honor of
be country's arms. If the applause of the
louutry is so freely accorded to the Sftny
ind navy for their prowess in war, thatt apjlause
should be given, now that there is
)eace, for the readiness shown by all of both
tervioes in laying down their power cemen-.
ed in war, now that the restoration of peace
nakes its exercise no longer necessary.?
therein they have shown high and nbble
jnalities, whioh have been commended in
ui ages, snowing toe existence 01 virtue
o the people rendering rhem "worthy of the
izereise of free government. For myself
[ shall bail the day with -pleasure when, in
he State of Maryland, there will he do
onger neoessity for provost marshals to aslist
in the maintenance of order and snthorty.
Knowing that day will gome, I shall
indeavor so to pave the way in my oommand
n looeening the reins of military authority
>y allowing the oivfl authorities to exercise
ill power wbioh they are willing or oompeent
to administer, that the transition from
he laws of war to those of peaoe shall be
10 gentle that no shook may be observed
vhen onr fanotions are ended, and that the
larohness of military rule may be forgotten.
3inoe the polioy of the government i% to

Che Test Oath for Members of Congress?The
President's Views Asked
For.
Washington, Sept. 27.?A letter was
eoently addressed by some of the citizens
if Charlottesville, Va., to President Johnon,
prompted by difficulties which surround
hem in relation to the approaobing Con;ressionaI
elections.
They appeal to him for ooansel and ad
ice as to their proper course of action, bang
wholly uninformed as to whether the
Bst "oath will probably be repealed or modied
so as to admit Southern members.?
.'hey have thought it possible that he
sight enlighten them on the subject.
They say that their main purpose is to
mrsne that oonrse which will be most likey
to sustain bim and his po)icy in the ad*
ainistration of the Government. The Attorney
General, to whom the-letter was reerred,
replies that he is instructed by the
'resident to say "that be haa no more means
f knowing what GSngress may do- in reprd
to the oath aboot wbioh tbey inquire
ban. any other citizen, bnt it is his earnest
rish that loyal rand true men, to whom no
bjeotion can be made, should be elected tQ:
kingresa." This, Mr. Speed says, is not,
official letter, but a siogle eipression of
ndividnal opinion and wish.
We olip tbe above from an an exchange.
Phe answer of the President exhibits bis
isual sagacity and straight-forwardness. He
lertainly cannot say what the next Congress
pith a radical majority will do?whether it
rill modify or not the unreasonable bath
iow demanded of tbe United States offioers
,nd members of Congress. He could only
av. that it was his "wish that loyal and1
# '
roe men, to whom no objeotioncanbe
nade, ahoald.be eleoted-to Coogres0TM?
This is the desire of every tree man in the
Sooth. Bdt can it be done ? Is it vtfthiri'
he range of possibility, for the South to
end any unto to whom the radicals will
tot make an objeotion ? We think it im*
jossible.
The President.is right. Let the people'
iverywhere ittr the 8ootb, be sure toGleot
oycrt and trite m6n, and done others: >Let
hem elect mea against whom nothing oaj^
>e trathfally said, wbioh oogbt to bar them!
jet the people do this, and leave the onus
in the radical party to reoelve or reject
hem. We believe they wiH be afraid to
issome the responsibility of cejeoting them.
