NEGRO LAHOR.-Tho Savannah News ami Herald contains thc following communication: Why is it that planters and others wanting laborers are opposed to hiring white men? There are hun? dreds cf white men in this city, able and willing to work, and wanting employment. You are aware how hard it is to get the freedmen to work. One reason is that, last year, many were uot paid. Most of them worked for a share of the crop, and were disappointed. This year, the planters'pay all, or a part, monthly. Yet there are men, and I believe a society of men, ad? vising thc freedmen not to leave the city. Tho time will soon be that the white man must be employed or the lands will not be tilled. At a future time, I may have more to say on this subject, but sufficient for the dav, Ac. _ W. The Louisville Journal says that i among the odd specimens of human? ity that come before the police court, there was om; very singular case on yesterday morning. A woman named Kose Barber was presented, charged with drunkenness and disorderly con due'. This woman has baila singular history. During tho late war, she served as a private in the Confederate army, ami took pnrt in several bat? tles, always serving with credit. She is a woman of more than ordinary intelligence, and shows that ?ho bus been well educated. She does not bear the marks of a lewd woman, nor is her conduct, when sober, at all in? correct. She is a hard-working wo? man, but lue- nu appetite for liquor, and frequently gets drunk, .bulge Craig took her own bond for thirty days, and let her go. -? ? .Thc New Bedford Mercury says the oil mid bone taken by three i whale-ships, which arrived at that port this Season, during their last vovage, 1 amount to over-8900,000. ? ju i nil ri, fe m >, ttoathvrn Education. ] J Thesribjbc't Sf Souther? eclneation ; h?iR nil of a sudden been taken up bj ' our members of the Northern press all since tba Peabody donation was made... The Philadelphia Evening \ Telegraph favors us with the following \ reflections upon the subject: Wa know* Of no subject of mon importance to tho country than thal J of education in tho South. Accus \ tomed as we of the North have boon ' to our systems of public schools, affording tho blessings of education to the masses almost without monej and without price, and securing a general diffusion of knowledge among the great body of the people, we cnn hardly imagine the true state of .thc ' case at tho Routh. Under the slaYo dispensation, then were no public schools, such as pre vail at tho North. Th the first place, it WOS not desirable that the bind people should be educated. Thc slave who could read or write was looked upon as a dangerous piece o: property. Hence, to teach him to dc so was a criminal offence under thc slave laws. And, in thc second place, the constitution of Southern society with its vast plantations and scatterer inhabitants, made it impossible tc sustain any system of general publh education, even for the whites. Th? result was, that while the children o wealthy planters were taught by tu tors, or in private schools, or sent tc the North, and while in cities nm' larger villages something was done for public education in tho way o select schools or academics, tho groa mass of the people, both white nnc black, grew up in almost unrelievei ignorance. That large class of tin Southern population known as "poo white trash" were as illiterate and de graded as the lowest black slaves. It is a state of things growing on of such facts as these that we are no\ called upon to confront. The might] plowsharo of revolution lins overturn ed everything in the South. Ther are no longer masters aud slavei there, but only people. To these peo pie the great work of reconstruct^ State Governments has beeu assignc< by Cougross. Every vestige of th old aristocracy is to be swept away The former muster is to deposit bi ballot by thc side of his late slaves his voto counting for no more thai that of the humblest of his late chat tels. Not only so, but these peopl are to become equal participant; under the Constitution, with us, c political power in the General (ic vcrnmcnt. The two Senators froi South Carolina, with her 201,00 whites and her 412,000 blacks, wi! count for just as much us tho tw from Pennsylvania, with her thrc millions of inhabitants. We are tn ing thc Democratic experiment on vast seale. Shall it succeed? - < - Cotton Pronptcts. The largest cotton lirm in this com try, Watts, Crane k Co., lately fade in Nert- York, and left behind it man damaging results. Southern facto: are reported to be largely losers 1 this suspension. This house wi holding 20,000 bales of cotton c speculation.. The great decline i j cotton in Liverpool, in cousoquem i of war rumors, was the cause of th failure, and the same cause may op rate to produce similar disaster Cotton, in Liverpool, is now on fifteen pence a pound. After its r cent decline, it rallied a little, but now tending downward. A lett from a Georgia planter says that Ie cotton would have been planted, ai more corn, had the occurrence of tl Luxemburg question been nnth pated. Cotton, in case of actual wc or even at the preseut prices, will n pay the producer. Advices from Louisiana show th the inundations of the cotton fiel on tho Mississippi have produced vi damage, and will much reduce t estimated crop of that State. From Texas, one of the largest ai most successful cotton planters i ports that cotton cauuot hereafter cultivated on a large Beale, as f< morly, owing to tho uncertain cl meter of thc hired labor upon whi tho planter must depend. The i cessity for securing breadstuff's 1: also caused a diversion of labor a land to corn-growing. On the who the prospects of the cotton-growi for the present year are far from fi tering. The whole crop will probably l I exceed 2,000,000 bales, according j present appearances, even if the ari J worm docs not renew its rnvag The price, too, of the remainder i the crop of lSt?t?, and of the grow i crop, will be far from r?mun?r?t i This will not, however, be a lost yt to planters, as some of them now p diet that it will be, if even corn a wheat should be produced in a (plate quantities for Southern c< sumption. The cotton trade will revive eve where, now that the war storm 1 been averted. Commerce is depivs; in Europe, but not to such an ext as it is in this country. Matters ?. lei up in the autumn, and cotton \ be in better demand. A protrac foreign war, involving contine] Europe, would, for some time, st roy the market for cotton and i ton fabrics. Peace may bc exp >c for some time to come, and a rt vi of trade will certainly occur. Foreign brokers in New York buying up United States flve-twen on European account.

Tuesday night, May 7, at Fortress Mouroe, Carroll Hall, by tho Rev. O. S. Barten, Rec? tor of Christ Church, Norfolk, Fred? erick McGinnis to Ellen Barnes. . The abovo deserves more than ' passing notice. It is not often, in these days, that we witness such faith? fulness and devotion. Both parties belonged to Mr. Davis' household, and have shared with him and his family their long protracted impri? sonment. They were bis servants in Richmond, and have remained true and devoted to him through good and evil report. When, after tho evacua? tion of Richmond, tho family were compelled to move Southward, Ellen could not be persuaded to leave them, but faithfully shared with them tho toil und suffering "of those fearful days. I When, after Mr.14 Davis* capture and Iiis romoval to the fortress, his anxious, almost distracted, wife was waiting for tidings from him who, by tho eba aces of war, had been thus cruelly torn from her side, Frede? rick, ever faithful und true, sought ber, offering his services to go to him and help in ministering to his wnnts. When told that the slender means of the fallen family would never- permit such an expenditure, his services were offered freely aud gladly, with? out reward or remuneration. When, at last, arrangements were made and means provided for him, and he found himself within the fortress, a pait of his wages were carefully laid aside, and have been regularly sent home to South Carolina to his old unstress, (Uko many others, impo j verished by the war.) who, in his j own words, had been as good to him, I and whom ho loved as a mother. A i like faithfulness and liberality must be recorded of Ellen. Surely, such an instance speaks for itself. The Fenian "General" Massey, who turned informer and testified against his fellow-conspirators at the recent trials iu Euglaud, appears to be au epitome of all kinds of mean? ness and small villainy. By his own account, he began his public career os a deserter from the British service, served as a private in the Confederate ariu^, rose to tho rank of Colonol, aud after the war became a commer? cial traveler. Not succeeding in this he engaged in the Fenian business, and was very successful in raising funds to carry out thc invasion ol Ireland. At his own suggestion bc was sent over to Ireland, was arrest? ed, swooned away for terror ami tuen turned informer. He owed his arrest to an associate, who wa: piqued at being put under bis orilers. Massey justified his own treachery by this betrayal. It is evident, fron his own story, that tho only thing ii which he and his associates wer< really in earnest, was raising money first as contributions from theil dupes in this country, and then ni "blood*" money from the Dublil police.
