The oration of General Wade Hampton nt thc Georgia State Fair, on Wednesday last, was u splendid effort, and was received with enthusias? tic applause by thc Immense concourse who had assembled to hear ltira. Wc make room for Hint portion of thc oration which will be read must eagerly hy the Southern public generally: Tin-re are one or two topics to which I beg lo call your special attention, as deserving uti thc carc and thought you can liestow on them, mid as tending to that grund result we ntl have in view, thc prosperity ?ff thc South. Wo aro essen? tially un agricultural people, und wc must look io Hits great interest as Hie basis upon which to bul I-1 up t he permanent wollun: or our country. Todo ibis we must usu all Hie means which ex? perience, guided by science, hus placed al our dis? posal. How shall lids best bc done'.' The. two points which present themselves most prominent? ly tu this connection, arc, drat, the labor by which we cullivate our hinds; and, second, the manner of cultivation. The negro Iii undoubtedly better lilted from his long training, lils physical conti guratlon and lils adaptability lo nil the diversities of our climate, to make a more efUclcnt laborer than any otlivr. Especially is ibis true when thc labor is to be performed in the more malarial portions of our coun? try. Our olijcel, then, should be to develop to the utmost lils rapacity as n laborer. To do ihis, Hmo ls requisite, and we snail have to exer? cise great forbearance, constant prudence and steady kindness. We must make Ulm reel Hint bis Interests ure indissolubly bound up willi ours; lliat high p.rices Tor our products insure high wilges forbin; Ibm we have no animosity io wards him; bul, on thc contrary, that we cherish Hie Kind feelings engendered by early associa? tions mid old memories. Lei us be scrupulously just In our dealings wu a him, Iel us assist him lu his aspirations rm- knowledge, und nid bim in lis acquisition. Try ro elevate him in the scale or true manhood, of civilisai lou and or christianity, KO Uml he may be belier filled for Hie grave dil? lies and high responsibilities roi ced upon mm by his new position, lu ii word, eon vince bim Ibal we arc bis best, ir not bis univ friends, mid when we shall hnvo done this, wo shall not only have placed our labor ou a sound footing, but we. hall have gnincd in lim laborer a Strong und zealous ally, lin ibis subject I speak nut from theory, bul experience, un experience which has taught me that Hie kindest relations eau exist between Ute piauler mid his former slaven, resulting in mm uni advantage io boiii parties. Myoid slaves arc cultivating the land on willoh they have lived for years, and there hus liven u coiisliiut and marked Improvement in their industry lu euch year since ihelr emancipation, though Uley httVO uni yet attained Hie same elli ciency m laborera they formerly possessed. 1 have promise.i io pul up for them u Bchool-UUIIM nnd church, mid (o puya portion of the salaries of their teachers. Such u system. If generally adopted, would tend greatly io lix Hie laborers io the soil, and would, by adding to their coutcut and enjoyment, result Iii vast Ultimate ucnoiit io the landlord. That kind ircutiucnt, Just denting. ?md sincere efforts io impnrt t ?heir condillou are md without effect upon them is proved by Hui fact, gratifying lo my- ir, Unit t am now on my wuy io Mississippi, by Ilia request of hundreds or negroes, licsides my own laborera, to advise them what, course to pursue III the approaching election there. I um noter those who believe that Hie mere possession or the rudiments or education makes a people stronger, better or happier; '?a hule learning is a dangerous tiling," mid unless moral educa? tion goes biiud-ln-hand with intellectual, the seeds of knowledge will be sown on n barren soil, or will produce but thorns and thistles; bul 1 do believe, that lu proporilon ns you make nil labor, other than compulsory, intelligent, you render il prob;able. If iids is Irue, we should educate the mind, Hie heart nnd Hie soul ol the negro, looking ut the question only In tts mule rial aspect and leuviug om or consideration al together those higher and nobler motives which should prompt ns io do so. A longer experience or bis newly acquired freedom, and lils acquisi? tion of higher Intelligence, will teach him, not only lils dependence on thc whites of thu South, bul the great i ruih winch no luws can change, "-In every noll, That those who Uilnk must govern those who toil." It ls our duty to assist him in qualifying him? self for bis changed condition; time atone can show whether that chiiugc lias been for bis heim? at. The South will look with profound Interest lo Ibo next census te see how freedom bus affect? ed thc numbers of his nice; un- we can tell willi nhsohitc certainly what those numbers would linve been had no convulsion slinkeu our entire system. Severn! years ugo 1 hud occasion to col? lect some dnlu bearing on this question, und they give the following rads and calculations.

Dy these it uppciirs that thc delius muring slaves Were less than among free blacks, ?lit1 j percent.; that births among thc free were :i5>? per cent, less than among iho slnvo; and Unit the net Incrrnso of slaves was 130.03 per cent, greater than that ot thc free blacks. These statistics may bo valuable us enabling v. to ap? proximate what will bc, or what should be, thc number of negro laborers in tho South during any year up tn 1800, and to ascertain what effect frce domhnn had ou tho mortality mid thc ratio of increase among thc blacks. Turning, now, from thc laborer tn hla work, wo have to consider what syatcm of culture lu tho most productive-ami hero 1 have no hesitation In saying that thc system which calls to Its ah! all thc appliances of skill and science will ulways, other things being equal, prove tuc most success? ful. I do not propose tn enter Into'thc details of cotton planting, nor tn give Hiebest pinn tor Its cultiv?t ion, because thesnino rules will not apply to a.*. localities, and because Hmo will not permit mc to do moro than touch on i Ito grand funda? mental principles which should govern all Intelli? gent planters.

It is not pleasant to discuss one's private af? fairs through the press; bat my duty to tho people, who are Interested in knowing, compels mo to say that General Gordon's salary is not $7000, bul that his pay and thal or lils secretary ls a commission on tho amount of business done by their oitlcc and their efforts; aud that commis? sion ls less by 10 to 20 per cent. than ls paid by Northern companies to tho general agents. Dany this who will. * ' lt ls painful to thus convict mcu of wilful false? hood; but duty to this company ano its Ineurcd compels mo to continue. An lo General Rill's $3000,1 have to say, no such person is connected with tin's company. If refer enco ls made to Hon. II. H. Rill, one of the vice presidents, I reply that he la a stockholder and an efficient aid to the company, but receives not one dollar of salary. IIow painful tbls exposure i.

Again : tty the Massachusetts reports, I am justittcl in asserting that thc ratio ot thc gross xpen.se ot' this department Ita.? been le.ss. hy one? al!, than that or a majority or Northern compa? nies lu their tlrst year's business.

General Howard, the commissioner of tho Freedmen's Iturenu, lias Issued his annual report, ll is largely occupied with a retrospective view ot the opera! ions or thc bureau, Wittel cxinVcd by tke law or Congress passed lu December last, so Tar as relates to aid tu refugees. Ti ie ediicaliomi1 work and buunly claims business, however, were continued by thc same law. General Hu ward says: One year ago lhere were on duly tn the burean Ul commissioned olllcers, 4I'J civilian agents, aud 34? clerks; now there are but 10 OtDccru, 71 agents, and "t! clerks. Then clothing and i at ions were Issued to Ibu destitute, costing un nu average ?'.ci,iou per mimili; now no such supplies ure issued, except lo Hie sick lu hospital. Then there were '21 hospitals, 48 dispensaries, s;> surgeons, nnd "-iou paiiniis; now there are but 2 hospitals, no dispensaries, fi surgeons, and 041 patients. Then transportation and stores were furnished ul a cost or $-?4,840 per month; now no transporta? tion orders ure given. So long us thc educational mid bonn kv divisions or Ibu oitlce coutluue, it will not lie practicable lo reduce thc force rm i her. The only hospitals now kept up arc those at Hich inoed und Washington. The special relier fund was drawn upon during thu year to thc extent or 8?V.',fi47 for doming and rood given to thc desti? tute, mostly women nnd children. The great mass ot freed people arc now BClf-eupporlIng, and many have gone into business on their own ac? count.
