It ie from tho pen 'of its chief editor, "W. G. PSOB, Esq., .who has recently been on a tour through the Southern country : If aa election of any kind were to be held in the South wit inn the next three mouths, there is no reasonable doubt -that three-fourths of the negro Tote would ber ??st , wt th tho Southern white vot?. There is perfect' accord between the larger portion of the freedmen and tho white population. .This is but natural. The negroes were as ardent enemies of | the.. North. ai their' masters during the war. They had no theories to sustain, and no special care as to What questions were involved in the: contest. They sympathized with the people ?who surrounded them; and <if the oath of alle? giance Were 'distinctly understood by the freed utan when it is administered to them, nine tenths o? them would be unable to say that they had.not,lent willing aid and eomf rt to tho re? bellion. Having stood firmly by their masters bk the trials ot-th a war they are still likely to stand, by them in ali public-questions. It seems to be from a knowledge and appreciation of these facta that the men. who are seeking to use tho negro vote for part i dan'purposes find lt necessary to delude, tue. poor.fellows with promises of a division of "the landa among them. The serious question for the freedman now ought to bj bow to estabiian' a regular and permanent system of paid labor, and how to tlx the rate of- payment J BO as" to approximate as nearly as may be Lo the old rate-namely,, a support for the laborer and bia familyt in sickness and health, childhood and. old age. Bot Ute interference of politicians is. operating to prevent the determination of j these questions and postpone tho day of calm settling down. It is impossible to regard the speech-making missions of Northern poli? ticians to the Southern negroes as anything but .injurious to them. It is, in fact, adding the final blow to their rum as a people. Unless they settle down to woik, and take the position of laborers whose labor is necessary, and must be cherished and cared for, they will rapidly perish. The suffrage is in danger of proving tho destruc? tion of the race. It would ordinarily take a gen- ; exation to learn the requirements of the new order j - of things. Where the interests of employers aro j so deeply involved in the education of the cin -jioyed, tha.pr\joess or accommodation to the new ' System might be much more rapid. But the temp? tations to idleness which political speakers are j offering them, 'are too strong to. be resisted by ii their feeble, intellects, and they are easily led to: ruin.. ,Tb?y wonld'go much' faster if the promises wor&fulnllod- Ii tho lands were divided among them, and they made to depend on their own labor: for the product of their own farms, the race would melt away in two or three genera tiona. .VThe 8oUtbem negro is* very much like a hot ?ouso'plant.. He needs constant caro and advice. Exposure is dangerous. 'It ia astonishing to ob? serve bow many of them seem to be ilk how few aro free from coughs and indications of disease. They know, nothing- about taking care of tho TI - - selves. Thev require advice, watching, and con? stant; help These are-the general truths, while th? exoeptiorisservo by contrast to make the com mon rule more visible. ' .' '." Tho future, therefore, looks doubtful to tho Southern peoplu. Tb ero is reason to fear that tho negrprace will disappear. Already it is plain that it will not bo-ableiorsupply tho- demand for labor which is sure ta.be made within a few years. The raddest ron* aro- that they will diminish from year. to year, while1 the demand will increase tn moro rapid, ratio, ' If these /questions were left to the mariagoineiit of Boutli ern men, they would bo con anderea with great cafe, and the utmost attention woxdd be paid to thu comfort and well-being of the freedmen. The best' friends they have in tho st?rkt -.are: South ecu employers, and their worst enimise are those- who, however honestly, aro socking to divert, their attention from the primary question of bread, and clothing, and shelter, to toe work of governing a great nation. Unfit at present to feed "themselves, they, ought to be spared tho miserable delusion pf thinking they are ni to make laws for the world or the great oat na? tion ia it l Tho direction of their minds toward stash; subjedte results in their absolute destruction, physical as well as moral . There- aro many reasons for believing that the tendency of things in the South ia toward tho breaking up ofthe old system of'largo plantations employing manyhau&a. These will continue in somei sections because.co. other system can bo mada .to work eucoessfrdly. But it. will not bc e if .the general rule shall hereafter Demore at the North, where the farmer cultivates ^. farm. requmHg bat few hands.

The price of admission is fixed at 20f., 10L and ot, according to tho places.

Chambers, Holders & Company, in their East India cotton circular, dated Liverpool, April 17, remark that "much of tho largo influx of cotton which came In toward the end of March hos been pressed upon tho market for sale by parties who arc either unwilliug or un? able to hold during tho gloomiest days of the past ion night ; some considerable relief has therefore boen given to necessitous holders. Taking all things into account and judging from what at present appears on the surface, weare not disinclined to look for some little amendment of prices after tho Easter holidays ; at ail events, we see no reason why they should further give way. It should be further borne la mind that notwithstan? ding the late and present heavy import of cotton, it is still less than when it was np to the corresponding period of lost year ; the stock here is about on a par with last year, whilst the quantity at sea from tho East is little more than what it was then. Tho aggregate supplies from ail countries, from the present lima to thc end of the current year, arc expected to fall considerably short of what tiley were during the same time lost year. On the other hand, the consumption of Great Britain and tho export demand BO Mr shows a dlmunitiou. but as the year advances they are moro likely to iucrcaso tbau not."
