Tho following circular addressed to the "landlords and laborers" of this State lins been issued by General ?Scott: HEADQUARTERS, ASS'T COM., BUBEAU REFUGEES, FBEEOM'N ANO ABAND'D LANDS, SOUTH CABOLINA. CHABTJESTON, S. C., DOO. 20, 1S6G. To the Landlords enid Laborers of the Slide of South Carolina: The season of 1SG(> is about to close, and I deem it my duty to in? vite the attention of both landlords and laborers to the following deduc? tions in regard to the system of free labor, which are drawn from my ob? servations during thc past year: The work of the past season bas been to a great extent experimental in its character; and from it may be gathered lessons of great practical value. In fact, the planter has only to avoid ti repetition of the errors ol the past season, and to discard theo? ries which experience has shown tc be impracticable, to insure success itt the future. In very many instances where plautcvs Lave failed to realize a pay? ing crop, the failure is easily traceable to ignorance of the free labor system and general niisinangenient. Others, in attempting to secure by unfaii contracts mort- than would justly re vert to them, have over-reached them selves; as the laborers, discoverin that their toil would bring then small recompense, have left the grow ing crop to labor whero better remit neration was offered. From this, i is easy to deduce the principle, that ; coutract unfair to the laborer is un profitable to the planter. Mutual distrust between the plant e and the laborer has also contribute! to failure; the principle that the in terests of capital and labor are iden tied having been ignored by botl contracting parties, in many it] stances, failure was to bo expected. Tile labor of the season has nc nnfreqnently been interrupted b misunderstandings respecting the rt qnirements and stipulations of cot tracts. Crops have been great! damaged by suspension of wort: : critical periods, aud in some it stances the entire crop has been lo; while awaiting the settlement or at indication of questions which shoul have been thoroughly understood b both parties at the time of contrite ing. In view of this, I cannot tc earnestly urge upon both the lane owner and the laborer a careful coi Bideration and deliberation behn binding themselves to contract, and strict and honest adherence to bot the letter and spirit of tho contra* when finally entered into. Difficulties of tho character abo^ indicated may be, in a great measur avoided, if the planter will, by car ful and patient explanation, assn himself that the laborers fully uncle stand the contract. Experience h shown that it is a policy to impose few conditions upon either planter i laborer as are consistent w'th a fait ful performance of their mutual ob g?tions. It will be the duty, as it certain is for the interest, of the planter practically acknowledge tho freede of the laborer, in its fullest sense, guaranteed by law; to kindly, and a friendly spirit, correct those en neons ideas of license and indepen euee which the freed people too fi qaently associate with freedom; a t.) teach them the obligations i nipos upon them by citizenship. Nothing will more effectually et duce to this end, or sooner afhj them a correct understanding of th Sttit us, and a know ledge of its resp; sibil i ties, titan education. And Ie; not too earnestly advise the plant to encourage, by every means their power, the disposition on i part of the freed people to learn read iitiil write, ?ind educate th children. It will not be found di cult to dispel alienation and distn between the two races, if such exit the planter need detract nothing fr his own position in practically acce ing that of tho freedman. Consul ation and respect for tho rights ! tlioso employed by him will in no j way impair or detract from his own; ! while acts of kindness and a generous ! interest in tho welfare of Iiis laborera j will cmh ar him to thom, and insure I a more faithful performance of labor j than can bo obtained by acts of coer ; cion. ? j Tho freed people should be taught thc saeiedness of the law, and its ob ! ligations impressed upon them. My observations of the past si ison j lead me to the conclusion that it is to the advantage ol' both land-holder and laborer to follow as nearly as practicable the labor r-ysteui of the agricultural districts ol' thc North and Wost-paying each laborer fair compensation for his services by the day, week or month, as may be agreed upon. In cases where, owing to the lack of capital or disinclination on thc part of one or both contracting par? ties, this system is not adopted, I would recommend the contract me? thod, based upon the following Sys I tem : j In cuses where contracts ave made, j giving the laborers a third of the ' crop, if the laborers provide their own subsistence, they can be consi? dered as * 'croppers" only; and, when the crop has been secured, they will have performed their part of the con? tract. However, a planter may make a contract to give the freed people rations for themselves and families, while they ore employed atlahor con? nected with the plantation other than that of the growing crop, which would bo regarded as fair compensa? tion. The system of fines and penalties should lie abolished; as experience has shown that it is productive ol more evil than good, and is not adapted to free labor. Let it bc understood that a fair day's wages will be paid for a fair day's work, and tin planter will not want for reliable and faithful laborers. When it becomes necessary, on ac? count of bad conduct or breach ol contract, to dismiss a laborer, lu should bo paid in full to dato of dis? missal. If the laborer thus dismiss ed is the. head of a family, the family should also be required to remove, a; its retention would in a measure relieve the laborer of the support o his family, which is his first duty. I would recommend that, whet necessary, sufficient advances b< : made to the laborer either in moue; ! or provisions for the support of hi family that he may not be obliged t< labor elsewhere for the purpose o procuring provisions, which practic was a fruitful source of trouble ant complaint during the past season. The results of the past convine me that practical and fair-minde* men can succeed with the freedmei as laborers. Where justice am equity have been observed in th treatment of laborers the results hav been satisfactory to all parties con cerned. Time and experience will reined many evils inseparably connecte with the change in tho system c labor;-bnt there is no doubt, if a prc per course be pursued by the whit citizens, that the resources of th State will be more fully develope than heretofore, and all classes c people will partake, of the genen prosperity to which, as good citizen: they have mutually contributed. I would say to the freed people: ] is iucumbeut upon you to show t the world that you are worthy of tl freedom which your country has bi stowed upon you. To this end it bi hooves you to labor industriously; I lead a strictly honest ?nd virtuoi life; to abide faithfully by the obi g?tions of the contract yon enter info to ba honest and truthful in all yoi transactions; to observe the sanctil of the marriage relations, and \ every means in your power to seen: education to yourselves and yoi children. It is your duty to tre your employers with courtesy and r speet, and to obey his lawful order and it will be for your interest to : conduct yourselves as to deserve li respect and regard. Ii. K.

G GESTIONS_ Winter, in this climate, is a trying season Its unsteady temperature greatly aggra vates dyspepsia, and acts very unfavorable upon that sensitive organ, tho liver. Tin alternation of frost anti daw keeps thc pores of ibo body continually opening am contracting, and the result is, a conditioi of thc system favorable to the action o thc atmospheric virus which produces in termittent fevers. Hence a protective mc dicinc, like HOSTETTER'S STOMACI BITTERS, is especially needed in ihc win ter months. The effect of this great Con stitutionr.l Invigorant, in rendering cvci thc feeblest frame impervious to ail mala rious influences, is a grand fac? demon strafed by the uniform ejperienco of ; quarter of a century. As a stomachic, ai anti-bilious medicine, and apreven; i ve am euro of Fever and Ague, it is the one thin; needful, which none who value tho pre servation of health can affor? todo \%itL out. The sick, when at death'ii ?loor, regrc that tliey did not take the riqJU antidote a the right time. Thousands who are no' suffering from the early twinges of live complaint and dyspepsia, will be pf .st rat on sick-beds, a month hence, if they d not arrest the mischief at once. Nothin is more easy. A course of the purest au best vegetable tonic and alterative know in modern pharmacy-Hostetter's Stt mach bitters will restore the digestiv organ? to th? ir full vigor, and bring tl; disordered liver into a condition of perfet health, as certainly as sunshine dissipate thc morning vapors. Fevarand Vguc, toi is at once broken up by this pow rful ant dote to a!! miasmatic diseases.
