FBEEB LABOB.
Among the questions of vital import to
he South after the ^cessation of hostilities, and
the1 great change in its social structure, in con?
sequence of tue Emancipation Proclamation and
the abolition of slavery by tho State Conven?
tions, there was none of more immediate and
pressing consequence, and wc more anxiously
regarded by the people among whom such
changes had been wrought, than that as to the ,
regular and efficient labor so necessary to
resuscitate ;and- develop their exhausted re?
sources. J;.
Whether the freedmen -could bc depended on
to bring forth the wealth, of *he South from the
ground, where it then c-nV xisted. by furnish-1
ing that sedulous and unremitting toil and care
necessary to produce the great staple on which
so ms.ny large communities depended, was a
matter conned with earnest solicitude, and con?
cerning which there was very ?ittle of the light
of experience to guide.
With, their fields desolate and wasted before
them, their homes destroyed, their fortunes and
their credit ruined, our peeple did not waste
precious time in;gloomy doubts and forebodings,
nor did they yield to despair when there seem?
ed so little even to hope for, but with a lofty
conviction of ^uty, with an energy and deter?
mination which should v be an effectcal refuta?
tion of those who are continually harping on
the idea founded on the most superficial rea?
sons, that there is a want of enterprise and
exertion anaong us, they devoted themselves at
once, with -whatever means were ^available, to
the work of repairing their exhausted re?
sources. And now we are able to look baot
' upon these exertions, and can find, in contem?
plating them and their results, much of encour
i agement-tnd of hope.
[ The experiment of free labor has been tried
) but a shert time, and we woul? not undertake
? to speak confidently as to the final result;-but
notwithstanding much discomfiture and distress
' and failure, there is much ia the prospect ol
the past year that opens a cheering prospect ol
' ;the futcre. - -
I It mcst-.be a-matter of universal-wondermenl
B that in-a society where a la?ge component ele
f ment was so suddenly elevated from the status
0 of a slave to that of a freedman, the order, TWA
oia prevail at-the fiouth, %*rhen the hithestc
dominant caste were eompfetely disarmed ano
powerless-a matter which can only:be under
j stood: fey those who can appreciate the genau:
3 of our former system; but ?ven th ey.could: fee'
no assurance that such a state could continue.
. but regarding the probable antagonism of ti;c
1 races .when placed altogether upon equal lega]
5 basis, and the measures put forward to accom
g. plish that object, felt that oe this account there
, was great reason to apprehend such disturb?
ances as would altogether ecuflict with any weH
5 settled system of labor. 38ut.no devices ol
. human invention eau produce au unnatural
s equality. The freedmen have quietly acknowl
' edged the moral and intellectual superiority
which has continually and -still does exert its
P influencej?)ver them; and.influenced by this,
as well as i>j the general .good feeling that has
: been displayed towards thenTby their former
1 masters, and the promptings?ff want, they have
1 afforded a reasonable ground fer the hope that
. i there may net, at least for many years to come,
- be such an .antagonism between them and the
. whites, as will prevent their efficient coopera?
tion in the-work of improvement, and that, too,
[ whatever additional means maj foe used to blot
' out all distinction.
1 Then there was reason to apprehend th ait,
evett if orderly, the freedman wquld not work.
In (?her countries where negro free labor has
been tried and -has disastrously failed, the
negro could ahnest .gain, without care .er labor,
i ? sustenance fr om the bounty of the y-opieal soil.
' Here na must work ?or,starve. His pretended
; friends haye enrich ad .themselves from their
'j misplaced confidence,' but have failed to feed
and clothe him in refeurn. .y He. has "begun to
? understood that freedem does not ?ean idLe
' ness; and hence want, as well as the influences
of superior sagacity ,a?d ability, hare contri
. buted as well to his industry as to his good
?order. .
i We are not'arguing from any great success
that has attended planting operations during
the pas* year. There will bo great distress
from the failure of crops, undoubtedly. Tho
weather was unpropitious, capital was wanting,
and no doubt that the labor was in many in?
stances defective. . But ic many ' instances
planting operations have been attended with
considerable success. By judicious manage
? meat, ia several coses labor has bees well and
regularly applied--the laborers have been well
Cared for and contented-aud there is enough
in these examples to base the expectation that
such systems of free labor may be digested as
will be attended with abundant success.
The vast resources of the South afford an
extensive field for the employ ment of far greater
labor than we can now command, and for the'
; profitable investment of capital. That, capital j
is greatly needed, and there exists now no legal
obstacle to paying for it the real and proper
value. We" trust that the view to be taken of
the result of the efforts of oar people, so fai?
te recover from their desolation, and the ex?
periment with freed labor, short as it has been,
will afford to capitalists such an assurance of
profit os will afford us abundant means for an?
other ?nd a better start.
THE COL UMBI A AFB A UG TTS TA BA ILBOAB
COMPANY,
We have been handed the report of tho pro?
ceedings of tho Stockholders of this Company, at
their annual convention, hold in Columbia,
November 1,18G6; and inasmuch as the enterprise j
is challenging attention by their memorial for leg?
islativo aid, we propose to examino somewhat this
said Report.
We of Charleston aro unfavorably impressed by
an examination of these proceedings; if for no !
other reason, that it is evidont to the most super?
ficial observer that the controlling powor-the !
very soul of tho movemont-is inimical to the !
interests of our city. This road is a mero ex?
tension of the Charlotte Road, and will, if it.
prove successful, bo of great service to that road,
but not in the least benefit either Columbia or I
Augusta (both of which cities are looked to for !
large subscriptions), or to the State at large, the j
credit of which is now asked for the benefit of |
this company.
"We have spoken of this before, but, as it would |
Beem, to little purpose. Nothing appears to de?
light some people so much as a railroad in pros?
pective. The barren hills of Lexington and E Jge
field, it seems to be taken for granted, will at once
' groon and blossom as tho roso just so soon as the
j shrill whistlo of the locomotive shall arouse those
ancient Rip Yan "Winkles from their long and poace
ful slumbers. From the fact of this report be?
ing in a printed form, it ia fair to assume that it
was read before the company, accepted and ordered
to bo published; yet it is carelessly put together,
illogical in its reasoning, and not altogether relia?
ble in its statement of facts.
First, we have a narrativo of the exploits of the ]
company during the "flush times" of the war, when !
Confederate money was as thick as blackberries,
and as valuable as the work for which it was
paid; but we must say the financial manager of the
company deserves the highest credit for his talent
in converting $1,933,971 of the "pink and blue'
money into an asset of $483,492. This half million, J
we fear, wiU require a little further "scaling;" for
however nice an operation this may bo for the .
I original corporators, it is not equally fair to the
subsequent subscribers, who are compelled to pay
in greenbacks.
This $483,492, thus artificially and Pickwickianly
demonstrated, is the basis upon which this road
is to be built, at a cost of over $2,000,000. The
report does not say how the small balance of the
money is to be raised; but, judging from the mea?
sures used to that end, we must confess that i.
looks somewhat like sharp practice. First Colum?
bia is wheedled out of a subscription, because the
road is to benefit Columba. Next Augusta, be?
cause "it is an Augusta road." It may be, indeed,
that Columbia will find out, when it is too late,
that she is left out in the cold; that the flow of
trade and travel is not for her, but only past her
doors. Augusta, too, should bear in mind that an
old and tried alliance is better than new friends,
with interests antagonistic to her own.
The report claims this "Charlotte extension" as
a "main link in the principal line of travel from
New York to New, Orleans," and appeals to the
L?gislature of the State for aid. Not one word is
said of our own seaport; Charleston is utterly ig?
nored. That the prosperity and credit of the
State are indissolubly connected with the welfare
: I of our city; indeed that the two are mutually de?
pendent upon each ether, we need not stop to dis
l ? cuss. Yet, strange to say, we hear that some ol
the -members of our own delegation aro counted
upon as supporters of this suicidal measure.
' The scheme is somewhat after this fashion :
.?.??guau*- cu ceo, ano ene company succeeds in ob?
taining agrant of $250,090 through the Legislature,
I ] at the .present session," they will mortgage the
whole to raise money to go on with the work. The
Report is uncomfortably indefinite as to the num
I - ber of bonds ii will bo necessary to sell in order to
finish the job. It says : "It is desirable that the
authority be made ample."
The following paragraph, culled from the "Re
II port," we append for the special benefit of our
Charleston delegation, who will here sea that their
magnanimity and disinterestedness is largely
counted upon, when they-OTB asked to support a
measure diametrically opposed to all the interests
of their constituents.
"With ibis road in operation," the Report says,
?ll the traveller "will find it the shortest, cheapest,
and quickest line to pass over your road. The
steamboat lines from New York and Baltimore to
Portsmouth, Norfolk, Morehead City and Wihning
ton, with the Virginia Central, Richmond and
Fredericksburg Road,5ncluding the Richmond ?nd
Danville, Seaboard and Wilmington routes, with
tbe'North. Carolina Road, will all have a direct in?
terest in sending their through trade and travel
over this road."
<OUR FRIENDS.
We notice that Mr. A. S. BABNES, of the
firm af A. S. BASHES & BUBB, Publishers and

THE Chicago Republican Company was called
upon yesterday by a committee ot ladies of the
Southern Orphan Relief Association, for a contri?

liberally, with a contribution of five hundred dol?

of Chicago generally, and without diatincfion pf
parity, will display a like liberality. Above all, let ns
regard the feelings of these noble recipients too
chivalrously to offend them by the offer in green
