COLUMBIA. Friday Homing, November 9, 1863. I.nl?v>r fur tile South. We do not know what to say ou this subject. The labor of freedmen, nt the close of operations for the season, has proved to bo an utter failure. Tho experiment of intro- , (lacing white labor from the North ia nearly as bad, if not .worse; so ?hat tho Southern planter must be at his wit's end to solve the problem of labor. At Beech Island, iu this State, they | have an agricultural club, and tho | information there developed shows that the great question of Southern labor has yet to be solved. Mr. Jo? nathan M. Mdlcr made a statement to the society, which would iuducetho planter to believe that foreign white labor cannot be relied upon. Mr. Miller says: "At tho eommencemeut of the yeal-, I employed as many negroes as ? thought necessary for the cultiva? tion of my lands, but in consequence of a portion of them being dissatis? fied, dismissed them, thinking I could procure others in their places. In this I was disappointed, and after repeated efforts to obtain other negroes, and failing, offering to pay them at the rate of $12.50 per month, I was induced to try white labor. Consequently. I wrote to my brother in-law, Maj/N. W. Smith, in New York, to send me fifteen white labor? ers; which he did-thirteen men and two women. They arrived at Augus? ta on the 15th of March, I paying their passage to Savannah by steamer, and thenco by railroad to Augusta, at $25 each, and was to pay them at the rate-for men, $12.50 per month, and for the women, $8. At tho ex\n ration of the first month, their wages were paid them, and they insisted that their wages should be raised, for . the men, $15, and for the women, 810; notwithstanding that they had * made a contract for the first men? tioned amount, before leaving New York. I agreed to do so, as.they worked very faithfully. Their ra? tions were corn bread and bacon; as they were unaccustomed to the corn, I gave them occasionally rye and wheat bread, with fresh beef; also, vegetables, such as peas, turnips, sweet and Irish potatoes, as soon as I raised tliem. I also furnished them coffee, likewise their bedding, they furnishing their own clothing and pitying their doctor's bill. At the end of the second month, several of the best workers amongst them in? sisted on their wages beiug increased still higher, two of them $17 per month, and one who acted as a gar? dener to $25. I put up thc wages of the two to 817, as they were the best hands, and tho gardener I dismissed; several of the others left; one of the women I made cook and wash for the men." Mr. Miller goes ou to say that the plan of introducing foreign white la? bor through the agencies of New York emigration companies is all a hum? bug. These societies, when they get orders for laborers, send out runners and gather up the dregs of tho city of New York, and all such as they can pick up, and mako from three to ten dollars per head for each hand furnished. They charge both parties, the employer and employee-thc for? mer for hiring him laborers, and the latter for getting situations. They bind both parties in contracts, which might do in the North, but as we have no laws to enforce such contracts in the South, andas there is no honor in such characters, Mr. Miller looks upon these companies and most of their laborer- :. , mere swindlers--thc solo object being to make all thc mo? ney they can ont of the South-the societies by furnishing them, and the laborers by obtaining a free passage to thc South. This labor problem is one of the most important that the Southern people have to solve. Wo believe that the labor of the freedmen will turn out worthless, and that some surer mode of securing farming la? bor, than exists at present, should be at once entered upon. Agents should bo appointed to go to Europe direct, and there make the contracts, ship? ping the laborers directly to Southern ports. Irish and German farmers should have leases of farming lots, and, iu time, beconio proprietors of tho farms they work. Foreign labor is what we have to depend on, and tho easiest mode of getting it ought to engage, at once, the attention of Southern agriculturists. A young lady, accompanied by a j lady friend, called into one of the stores in Hartford recently, and after they had gone, tho clerk found the calves of her limbs on tho floor, the lady having evidently lost them off unknowingly. This is one of the most painless cases of amputation we havo ever hoard of. Stute Item?. NEWBERRY.-Tho Herald ?ivs: Towr was crowded, Monday last. Land, fnrniture, horses, muirs, and a thousand so-forths, were sold. A great deal of land was disposed of at excellent prices; one tract brought something (.ver 81?; per acre, in gold. ABBEVILLE.-The Banner says: The large amount of property an? nounced for sale, on Monday last, called out our citizens generally from all parts of the District. Lands sold by the commissioner brought fair prices. At the sheriff's sales, good lands were sacrificed at very, low figures. For one very valuable tract, situate! near Harper's Ferry, 811.37 per acre was obtained. Ordinary land ?old for S3.25 per acre. Horses, mules and plantation stock commanded high prices. CHESTER.-The Standard has tho following: On Monday, the 5th instant, sabas of real estate were made by the She? ri l?and Commissioner in Equity. The sales by the commissioner were for specie, on a credit of from one to three years. The aggregate sales by the commissioner amounted to 5,945 acres, and the sum total to $18,141. OG. The lands ranged from Si to 87 per acre, the average price obtained being 83.05 per acre. EDOEFIKLD.-The Advertiser says, of last sale day: Monday last was sale day. and such a crowd of citizens thronged our pub? lic square as had not been seen there? on, perhaps, since 1861. The adver? tised sales of immense quantities of land by the Commissioner m Equity and Ordinary, drew this large crowd hither. Prices . of laud have veiw visibly improved since sale day in October. ^_ FIRE IN ATLANTA.-On Tuesday morning last, between 1 and 2 o'clock, the building known as the "Empire Block," erected by Wm. Markham, Esq., was discovered to be on fire. Six stores were destroyed. Palmetto Lodge No. 5,1. 0. 0. F.
