DAILY NEWS. OHABLE8TON. TUESDAY HORNING, SEPTEMBER 12, 18W. In yesteiiuay*? issue wo undertook to show that wc havo diroi't pecuniary interests in the ?apport ami preservation of otu- colorea population. It was not from any apprehension tlmt effort? will be made to throw it off, or that there are any in the country to initiate a ?tato of hostility againat it. Feeling ha? not yet beeonto ?o embittered as to in spiro an aet of gratuitous Injury towards that peo ple). None hohl than responsible for the recent chango in their coiulition?few even for the irregu larities and disorders which have, almost Of neces aity, resulted. But there is a feeling that thoy are not and cannot become a valuable- class of popu lation ; that they will constitute an impediment to progresa ; that white laborera, from other conn trios, would bo bettor ; that auch laborera will como in number? to supply their place ; that these will tond to drive them out ; and that thua, there fore, without any hostile acts upon our part, but merely in concurrence with tho natural tendency of event?, and in consistence with our interests and obligation?, we will come to an entire change in our laboring population, and thence to the re alization of a better and a brighter future than is eonsistsnt with tho continuance and perpetuation of the colored race. That may bo the intimate result; but we hero have felt it important to ?how that it is not to he realized at once, or at any time to be of service to the present generation; that our business is with the present; that the negro is a portion of our present population; that population is of present pecuniary value to a State; that it? wealth is but tho expression of the human wants which have become centered upon tho object? susceptible of appropriation; and that the negro, therefore, is not to be withdrawn without a corresponding re duction in the resource? of our State and people. It will bo objected to the suflh-ioncy or the argu ment by which we have attempted to establish this proposition, that, a? a fact, there is not that necessary relation between population and wealth; and that, tobe true, it must bo conceded that the people must be of the same race, and equally ad vanced in capacity and culture. This may bo true to nn extent; but it is certain that race merely constitutes no difference; for in recent statistics it ?b shown that tho property per lieail ill this State, where there were 400,000 negroes, and those nc groes slave?, was a? great as in any one of tho New England State?, where all were free and of the highest average Of capacity and culture. It will be urged that if so of States where there is an inferior race in slavery, it is not true where fthoso ?laves have become free?for that of the wealth of this State before the war, $200,000,000 has been lost by emancipation, and that the aggregate civuii'.-t now bo as great; but this objection has lesa of validity than at first appear?. True, the mas ters of this State have lost the value of those four hundred thousand slave?, but each ?lave is now the owner of his individual value. Before, the master was tho owner of that sum, of which the eauiiugsof the slave, above the sums necessary to ?apport him, was the legal interest. Of that sum tin negro i? now himself the owner. Before, tho wealth of the State consisted of the aggregate wealth of masters. It now consista of the aggre gate wealth of individual?; and if emancipation had como, therefore, without the incidental losses of tho war, it might have occurred with scarce an appreciable diminution of national wealth. True, the master has now but the balance of bis proper ty, and tho negro emancipated has no visible prop erty at all, and it would seem, therefore, that there xnuat have been a necessary loss; but the negro ha? still, in hi? unfettered limba, the value of live hundred dollars ho was worth before the war. That attache? upon everything he may look upon to wish for. For every object of property he be come? a competitor; to that extent he can make in vestments; and though in the interval between the withdrawal of his value from the hand? of his master and his reinvestment of it in aomc visible object, there may seem to be a diminution of na tional capital?that his value is gone, and there is t?o compensation for it in an established elevation in the value of other things?yet even then it is to toe. taken notice of. If capable of investment, it differs little from so much money in his purse; and the capacities of tho negro?hi? ability to feed himself and fund an interest on a sum besides?aro a? much an element of na'.ional capital as if al ready exhibited in the form of a horse and cow and ?garden-farm. It may bo said that population w not necessarily in proportion to national"wealth?for that, in this State, there, at least, has been tho loss of bank capital and other c?uitiea to a vast amount, Which?the population remaining near the same? - varies the relation, at Ie.a?t, from what it was be fore tho WOT. Dut hi this, aleo, there is liability to misconception. It is, of comae, true that sud den shock? may disturb the balance of every sys tem, and it wore scarcely p-jasiblo for any system to have been so shocked as-om-3, ami in no' sys tem, therefore, is It to bo supposed that the dis turbance could bo greater; but even here it will be Surprising to see how many have been the ad jii-inionl? and compensations, and how surely, oven after auch stunning sliocka, the results havo approximated to the requisition? of tho paramount law we have ventured to announce. 'Wo havo loat bank and other capital. That is truc. Eut much of that capital was but a development of crodit. Many men who ownod stock owed the money with which they made tho purclinse Mirny owed mo ney without owning atock. Tue bills roceivablo iu every bank were nearly, if not quite, equal to its capital. Much money was duo from ono person to another. If capital to a great extent has boon lost, debts to a great extent havo been paid. Credit, generally, ha? become contracted. Kites, generally, have folded their wings. But while such change? havo occurred in tlio; superstructure of ear monetary and commercial system, tho founda tion? have not been greatly altered. Tho loaaes on ono side havo been greatly compensated. If we own little, wo owo little; and credit; rising on tho baaia of our present property, will travel ?carcely further than she did bofore, without dis tributing a capital throughout tho land almost as ?rcat as that- wo had before the war. It is not couteudod that there havo not been losaos, but only that, to sorao extent, thoso losaos havo boon repaired, and that, though individuals have suf fered irreparably, tho balance-shoot presented by tho State would show that if ehe has lost on tho one hand she boa gamed on tho olhor; that hor property, If invisible, existai and that still, as yet ?ho und? her wealth proportioned to her popula tion. fctwill bo contended that at last, howeveri tho' truth of tho proposition depends upon tho charac ter o? the people, and thai ah indolent and vi cions people cannot be worth a? much per head as __ people moral and industrious. To this wo will -Answer in another number, but for tho present will bo contented to suggest that it ia not so much tho character of tho pooplo as of tho society in whi.-h thoy stand, that determines their efllciency *nd valuo; and it is less important to the question frtwther nogroes huyo natural capacities for self control, than whether, in consistence with hia presence, we can HiiHtiiin mir society at its present elevation. If bo?if that run* on in regularity and eflleiont order?the individual, whether he be boml Of fri'e, or lettered or unleurncd, must do hid work?perform hia functi?>n--aiid doing ho, must giv?; lita valuo as a constituent of the common population to the commonwealth.

The following we take from the Richmond Whig of tho 2d inet. The reorganisation of the Southern .Slates is progressing rapidly, prudently and well. The peo ple, almost en masse, aro lending cheerful aid to the great and necessary work. And before the clos?: of autumn every one of the lately insurrec tionary States, through their own delib?rate no tion, assisted by the good will and earnest vilorta of President Johnson, will occupy a position en titling them t?) resumo their original relations with the I'oderul Union. No people on earth ever ar eeptetl the results of a great war with half the promptitude and grace which have been mani fesleit by the people of the .Southern States. There is scarcely an individual in .ill our honlers who is s?? reckless or so unpatriotic as to wish t?i reviv?; resistance to the constituted authorities, or who desires to interpose the slightest obstacle in the way of a speed?" restoration of peace, harmony and fraternal feeling between all sections and divisions of the Republic. And, surely, such B significant and cheering fact as this should out weigh all the calumny ami misrepresentation which it is in the power of a myriad of unscrupu lous newspaper correspondents to heap upon the people of the South. I.ool; at the prompt anil decisive action of the Mississippi Convention?the action of a people more deeply ini ?Heated in the secession movement than the citizens of any other State, with the sin gle exception of South Carolina. So entirely ac ceptable was tho action of Mississippi to the Pre sident, that lie immediately telegraphed congratu lating the representat?ves and tho people of that State upon it, and hoping that the other Southern State? would follow lier example, and promising to restore ftabewscmv'MS and withdraw tin- military at the earliest proper moment. And the conduct of Mississippi, too, seems to have met with the almost universal approval of press and people of the North. As the Boston Post we!, observes, no candid man, of any parry or .section, can possibly cavil at the rocent action of tha: Ptati. It has been all that loyalty could desire. It is u st?mmig disproof of the "allegations so persistently made by tho Radicals, that the people of the Smith ar?: as truculent and hostile us ever, anil that they are playing the game of apparent Submission only to improve the earliest opportunity to try the seces sion experiment over again. It does, no doubt, occasion more or less surprise at the North, that Mississippi, one of the Gulf States, the second cotton grower of them all, and hitherto reputed quite us intense, if not so elfeetive, an advocate of ultraisin and secession as South Carolina, should prove now to be the first of the Southern States to set nn example of obedience to the reipiirenieiits of tho Constitution". For this very reason, how ever, should tho people of the North be all the more inclined to welcome her reform and restora tion with sincere congratulations. The Convention which was summoned to assem ble, in obedience to the proclamation of Governor Sharkcy, was in aeasiou at the State Capital eleven days?in which time it set earnestly to work and framed an entirely new State Constitution, one of whoso solemn declarations ifl, that slavery has come to an end within the limits of the State, and can no more he revived by statute. On this point, then, Mississippi stands* nido by side with the Northern States. She is as truly?in all legal re spects?an Abolition State as any of the latter. So far as this question, therefore", is concerned, there is no further apparent excuse for anxiety or meddlesomeness from any outside quarter. In addition to which, State ?ifficers und members of Congress are to be elected early in October, and tho State placed in lier old relations to the Union with aa little delay as possible. We can only express the earnest hope that each of the other Southern States, in prompt succession, will imitate the really necessary and only safo ex ample of Mississippi. The institution of slavery being dead, its remains should bo quickly put out of mortal sight fore vor more. It is the duty, in r. word, of each and all tho Southern State, to rc movoj- without a moment's improper- delay, every impediment In the way of their acquiring full and free control over their own domestic affaira. Tc get rid of the military, wo must get back into the Union, wc must conform oar conduct, us nearly oh may be, to tho requirements of those whom cir cumstances have made the arbiters of our fate. - ?, , -1 Florida.?Prospects of tho State. The Jacksonville (Florida) Herald of August 21 gives the following account of tho prospocts of re construction in that State : Florida is not what she was fivo yoara ago, and it is of the highest importance that we understand the changes which have been wrought in her situ ation. It is certain that they aro radical, reach ing tho foundation of socioty, business and poli tics, and permeating all the interests'of tho State. If t\o fail to realize this, and try to restore the old ofder of -things anil do business nccording to former customs, failure and disappointment will pursue and barrio us. Diligent readers, cloao ob servers and careful thinkers have kept pace with changes and passing ovents; but too many of the people, liko so. many Rip Van Winkles, bare bal just awakened, not by tho blasts of war, but by tho crash of defeat, and they find themselves lost or bewildered, It is bard for them to realize the all-pervading and irrevocable changes which have como upon tho stage. Yot Florida ba? suffered less, in overy way, than any other State which plunged into tho abyss of rebellion. Had sho not been betrayed by selfish demagogues.sho would have remained faithful to the.old flag, but onco committed, sho did her whole duty to tho Confederate cause. She has never h.ocn conquered and overrun as other States have been; bor cities, with few exceptions, and fair Holds have not beon occupied and wasted by tho presence and tho tramp or hostile armies, and since tho surrender of Leo and Johnston her ac quicsccnco in tho fixed results of the struggle has secured her a mild administration of martial law as preparatory to f bo establishment, of a State government. The material injuries inflicted upon Florida aro nothing compared with that South Carolina and Virgiuia have suffered. Our articles of oxport on hand ab tho closo of the war will bring moro than a million of dollars of cash into tho State; our harvosts will supply with food our population; capitalists from the North aro all coming, and will do much towards setting business.hi motion; and tho payments of tho military garrisons in tho Stato will scatter throughout our communities large sum.? of monoy. But after all. everything doponds upon ourselves? our personal exertions. If we have no capital with which to employ labor and pay for it, our own hands must bo put to tho plough. We must rise above tho vicious and foolish notion that labor is a budge of dishonor. Man sboidd bo valued ac cording to bis personal qualities, nob according to Iho length of his purse. Tho Frecdmen must bo oucouraged to labor, by overy motivo that Bhould inspiro industry. Thoy must have exclusivoly tho benefit of all thoy do. All classes beforo tho law must occupy the same ground. No ono should have any advantage, except auch as ho may cro ate by his superior skill and industry. Such aro some of tho now elements whiob will enter into the futuro of Florida. Wo had bettor open our oyes promptly to those fact?, whool into line and go forward, rebuilding and making pros perous our beautiful land.

An extra of the Lexington (Va.) Gazette says: The gratifying duty of announcing to the coun try the acceptance by Gen. Robert B. Lee of tho Presidency of Washington College ha? been do , volved upon the undersigned by the Board of Trua ! teca of that institution. Tho accession of this I distinguished gentleman to the faculty of this ven ? ?rable collego, and as it? honored chief, ia des ' tinud, we trust, to mark the conimencenieiit of a ; new era in ita history, and most cordially do we | congratulate ita numerous friend? on Huh most auspicious event.

Dkcatcr, Aj.a., August 2f>.?Famine seems ready to follow in the footstep? of war in its desolating march over this fair land. No guneral and gen erous rain baa fallen in this part of Alabama unce April. Grasa ia brown and crisp; corn is stunted and shriveled; potatoes are few aud small. Vege tation Buffers nigh unto death. The people, al ready many timoa devastated by armies and ma rauding bands, have now to mourn over tho pov erty of their thinlv-plautod Holds, without money to puy, and with alnioat hoUijug $o sell, are left to contemplate, with dismal forebodiug?, tho &p Sroach cf winter. The prosperous and full-fed orthorn States will havo the glorious opportunity of Bonding of their abundance to their destitute sititors or the. South, and winning back, by kind nca?, affections l;>ng alienated by war and strife. How ardently have we longed for sumo f the superabundant ahowera that havo almost ?-owii cd out the fertile holds of tho Northeast. Cotton alono withstand? to a great degree tho effect? of tho ostensivo drought, and looks green and nourishing wl?le all around is dry and brown. But tho staple ia not maturing well, and many bolla aro falling off. The crop, it is esti mated, will hardly equal the average yiold, and not one-twentieth of the laud was planted. A splendid opportunity ia offered to thoao wish ing to lease or purchase cotton lands in tin'? vicinity. Moat of tho land has been lying out for two years past, and is iu excellent condition for Bucceaaful cultivation. From various sources I havo oatimatcd the cost of cultivating 100 acres in cotton, including pur chase of mnlcs, hire of negroes, ront of land and all other expenses, at from $2000 to $2500. An average yield exceeds 250 lbs. per acre, or over 50 bulo?, GOO lbs. each, to the 500 acres, worth, at 20 cents por Ib., $5000, leaving a net profit of $2500 to $3000, in addition to tho mules and farming imple ments. No more profitable business ought to be desired. Many planters bore aro desirous of ronting, leas ing or soiling their land? to Northern mon, and negroes can do hired at wages little exceeding the cost of their board and .clothing.' Indeed, from tho prospectivo scarcity of crops, I am inolinod to think that hundreds would engage their services for bare support. It would bo a worthy schomo for practical phi lanthropists or benevolent societies to carry on plantations in this and other parts of tho South, for tho purposo of giving employment niul subsist ence to the thousands of unemployed and destitute negroes who will bo turned away from the homos of their old ruasteis on tho 1st of Jauuerv next. Thoir former ownors, wero they ovor soundly dis posed towards them, are utterly unable, in moat instances, to feed and clotho tho nogroos once their slaves. Generally, tho planters aro without tho moans to cultivate thoir plantations another season. Nono of them have tho nocessary number of mulos, and scarcely any have confldonco enough in tho free labor system to be willing to venture in the business of cotton raising, ovon if able. So it would bo a work of real philanthropy both to whitos and blacks, as well as an exceedingly profi table mode of investment for Northern capitalista, to engago largoly in the cotton business.?Cor.

The grass in the pasturo? has not suffered so much as in 1894, because they were more heavily .loilded in lh?.' early par! of tin? season. Alter the drought of 1894 we had a succession of wet years, and ih?- average rain fall has since been considered greater than for thirty years pre vious. It would not ho wondered at if we are now to have a series of yean in which the quanti ty of rain will be loss than for the last ten, al though its distribution through the season may be such that it will produce no diminution of the crops. Wo have had In this part of the country the present year a greater crop of hay than iii any year for a quarter ot a century, owing to the rains and warm weather of May a tul June, and the fa vorable weather for securing the crop in July. All bite crops will bo very light, and of apples such a scarcity has never been known within the memory of the oldest inhabitants. Orchards which usually produce soveral hundred barrels, will not furnish enough to supply the family at the home stead. The Boston Joxvnal says : Tbo leaves are shivering and turning brown, the grass and the llowers are drying up, the soil is as ashes. People are wonilering what is t?> be come of them, if things are to go on in this way much longor.
