At the representative of the 0 or eminent In behalf of the interests of the freedpeople, 1 deem it not Inappropriate for me at the commencement of another planting season to make a few comments upon the results of the past year's labors, and offer a few sugges. Mors as to the nature of contracts for the Coming year. It la with feellagt of regret that t review the disastrous failure of the Rice and long Staple Cotton crops in the vicinity of the Coast. Opto the ftrtt of last July the pfoepect of a remunerative return for the labor ' aad capita) invested wee flattering, but owing to anareldable and unforsecn causes, beyond tbs control of baman power, the end of the year fiade both the plantar and laborer, upon the coast country, la an embarrassed and suffering condition. I- should not be Jostlfied in dwelling further-Upon this topic so well understood by all parties Interested) suffice it foi me So say that the gsoerat failure of the Rice and long ataple Cotton crops cannot be attrib. nted to want of aero aad expense on the perl of the planter, or lack of labor and attention from the freed people. In some districts la tba central aad nppei portions of the State, very fhir crops of short staple eettoa and corn have been hsrterted, bat owing to the depressed condition of the cotton market. Use planter finds that tbs proeseds of the sale of that staple will not relmhorse him Use the mJi.uiA.

It certainly unit be appateot to every practical man that fro* colored labor can never be a success in tbia State an lea* liberal and fair contract* are entered into and ebaenred; the freed people cannot much longer be hoodwink, ed and imposed npon, thoy are rapidly learning tbe worth of money, and ail person* wtau have in any manner overreached them may depend npon It, that oventually tbey will fln.l that they cannot procure labor to till their plantation*; wbilo plantar* who have, by a Juat and generous oourto of treatment, obtained the confidence of their laborer* have thus secured themselves tuffluieut meana to carry out their plana for the comiftg year. It tnay not be improper for tnc in tbia connection, to eonnacl the frecdpcopl* to avoid contracting the coming year, with tb?*e plant, era who have persistently wronged and defrauded them ; taking care and aceking prop, er ad vie* that they may not confound dlahon* exCtncn with those bigb-miuded planteis who, owing to tbe unfavorable season, bava been unable to meet tbelr engagements, but iu whose integrity all can implicitly rely. Aa to the terms ol contract* for the coming year, I am obliged to express my unqualified approval of tbe system of paying wages in moi- J or. for such neriods as mi? ! ? unnn I giving preference to payment* at the end of the year, a* the plan beat calculated to injure the laborer a portion of hia pay at the termination of hia contract, and it alao givea the planter opportunity to at onoe diacbarge an idle or disaffected employee upon payment of wagea due to date of diacbarge. It will alao tend to produce a more uniform rate of wagea throughout the country, and thua avoid the breach of contracta frequently made on vari* one pretexts for the purpose of hiring to another planter, who may temporarily give an incrcaacd rtipend. I would not bo understood aa advising any combination on the part o: the planters to reduce or Veep down wagea, neither would I countenance a like combination by freedpeopla to secure wages that planters cannot aiford to pay 5 lint it would be for tho interest of all parties to fix upon some approximate amount within the power of the planter* to pay, with reasonable profit* to themselves, and not be* ncMth the limits of a sufficient support for a free laboring man and hia family. It is not within my province to fix this desirable rate, but I may express tbo opinion that tho con tracts made during the past year upon the ilea Islands and upon the coast, were more liberal in their general character, and amount of wages paid, than those of the upper country. Whenever from lack of means the eontract system, based upon shares of -the crop, has to b# adopted, the apportionment of the gross proceeds should be made as follows : To tbo land one third j to the laborer one third ; the capital constating of work animals and til*lr feed, implements and fertilisers one third; the interest of the laborer to terminate upon the completion of the gathering and marketing of ? tbft crop. It is more than probable that the majority of planters will be obliged from want of funds te adopt the latter system or some other ap proacblng U In Its nature, but differing in its details | but a eontract no less vmuuerativo than the one third suggested for the laborer, houbl in my opinion be tendered or received. It is furthermore desirable that planters make arrangement with pbyriclaos to attend the sick upon itia plantations at a reasonable rate per visit or family ; a clause to the effect , that the laborer should pay pro-rata for such medical service, might he inserted in oonr traets. I cannot too strongly recommend, briefness . and ilnplteiljr of form in all contract#, with* ant regard to their nature or terms. Many eon tract* hare been submitted to me, tbe terms of wbieb wore siuiply abenrd, such as tbe imposition of fines or stoppages for impertinence, for failure to comply with certain f plantation regulations, Ac., Ac., all of wlticb I are inconsistent with tbe laborer* statue aa a freeman, and an accountable being. Such i elausea In contract# will be a continued auurco of annoyance and relation to both employer and employee, and should be omitted in alj iuture contract*. , If a laborer absents himself from bis allot* . ad task, be should be charged for th* time so r lost, at the rate which be would bare rewired I If be bad worked ; all adJltion of extra fine* r for lost time it improper, and should never be , proposed in a community whero tba ftee labor r system ia expected to succeed.

Tbe negro fanatic* of the North, design tbe 8outh to be Afrieanlsed-*1 that is, placed under negro rale. Tkia is a crime, meditated not only against the kindred white race in tbe 8enth?-but agpinst tbe white race of tbe world, to established negfo nil* in a country, Is to girs it over to pauperaad barbarism. No portion of the white raoo will long remnin in sueb a country, and no |tortion will make it tbe theatre ot their efforts to -better tbeir condition by immigration. Nn man, under the civilised governments of Kurope,'where the rights ef pefSoti and property are protected, would go to a country where be has protection for neither. Negro rule, aii over the world from Its existence, has been synonymotts with lawlessness. The white race therefore, if the negro revolutionists shall succeed in tbeir efforts, Whether io tbe North or til Knropc, Witt bo shut out from tho South. Hut these efforts, we have not a doubt, will fail. Tbeir only chance fur even temporary success, is by the bayonets of the (lovernment of the United States. These bayonets w,il be removed. The longer they continue, tho worse it will be for the negro ; becauso they will widen the distance between bim and the whito man. If this distance ie pushed to eontest?the more speedily will the South be opened to the immigration of tbe white raceby the removal or extinction of the negro ? With the Cast belt of the white race on our Northora frontier, and the accessihillity of the Southern States to tbe white race from Europe there is no more chance of placlrfg permanently the Southern States noder negro rule, than ui vioiung (nam into in? Atlantic. Tbey were settled by the wbito race. Tliey belong to tbe wbito race ;?and must from the na'ure of thing* be tbe theatre of it vast immigration, both from the North and Europe.

They nro not ? speculative, restless, roving people?like tho people of Now England.? Tbey bare tho high virtues of bama fixedness, and stoady Industry. And tben, all tbeir political aspirations ore in favour of law and liberty. Even in the days of tbe Roman Emperors, according Id Tacitus, tbey possessod a inde system of free government, far surpassing the Gauls and otbeY Northern nations. At this day, no nation in Europe excels them in mental activity, and profound learning. Tho German pross annunlly puts out ten times tbe number of books, that are published in tbe United States. In popular education, tbey surpass any nation in the world ; and thero are vast principalities in Germany, which present a cultivation pf our mother earth, which seems impossible of further improvement. Such a people, must be welcome in every land tbey may choose to make their borne. Thay will harmonise admirably with the population of the Southern States, whose characteristics of lmmnvcability and reverence for order, are ia such striking keeping with their own.

An interesting answer to the question ( Is brought l>y a table prepared by l)r. 11 Stark. It sliowe that at every age. from 2t> ? to 86 years, the death rate of the married n men is very much atueller than that of the ll unmarried. At the 86lh year ol lile, ?he o ntimhcrs are too small to justify any com |> parison. It appeals from tide table that p out of 100,000 unmarried mm between 2D t and 25 years of age, 1,164 died during the il year 1863 ; but that out of a like number of * married men, only 697 died, or just half the C number. In other word*, between the age n of 20 and 25 years, the death rate of the h bachelors was exactly double that ol the tl married men. st As the age increases, the difference be. n twees tlie death rates of the married and ? unman led decreases; but the decrease is v slow and regular, showing a marked differ- f once in favor of the ttnrried men at the age " of from 25 to 8<) years when the u'tmScr ot '' mnrrle<l and unolarrled men in Scotland ia h nearly equal, of every 100,000 bachelors, 1 1,369 died during the year; but in an 1 equal number of married m.n, only 865 1 died. A similar difference, though ill leas ! degree^ is found in favor of married m-n I during every five-teir period, even to that ^ between Bo and 89 tears of age. llere, tben_ ' we hnr? the remarkable fee*, proved from n static tie* of a whole country, that ilie influ 8 enee <>( marriage on duration of life of the n male ia of I lie moot potent kind; that, in ^ fact, the bachelor lite is much more d- 'I tructive to the male a-x titan lite inoet tin- ' wholesome of trade*, or titan a residence in n a crowded locality where there I* not the '' moat distant attempt at aan.tary anange.
