In tho importation of thcso China- ^ mon wo thus find a ready and satisfactory solution of tho greatf question of cheap labor at the South ; and the contemplation of what may bo accomplished by Eastern labor here, almost inclines us to indulgo in somo ,of tho gorgeous dreams of Eastern ro-\ manco. And indeed why may not that powor, as of a magician's wand, which reared aloft the pyramids, tho obelisks, the temples, and other grand trophies of Eastern art, lay in our Western hemisphere tho foundations deep of triumphs as enduring and more bcncficeift. The social and political aspects of tho question are thus presented in tho following paragraphs from the Charleston ffem : One great objection to tho introduction of Chinese, or any other than European labor, is, that tho introduction of inferior races must bo expected to have au injurious effect upon th? social and political condition of the j South. The African elephant is rather more than wo can well manage. What should we do with his Asiatic brother? The Chinese, with all their quickness, aro utterly devoid of an}' sense of moral responsibility, as wo understand it. According to tho accounts which we rcccivo from California,. they will out a throat for hire with tho same neatness and dispatch j ii.-t .i-- ---i i ? I liiitu im:j' WOUIU UlUlvO U COai O-V COOK j their national dishes of rat*, bird*' i . nests and puppies. In their hearts1 they arc non-conformists. They will adopt the European garb as freely as they will pocket the American dollar. But they arc Chincso still, and cling to their idolatrous tenets with true Eastern jjcrtinaoity. For them the law has no terrors, they fear no punishment, and in all their personal habits are vicious and corrupt. And it must not bo forgotten that if the Fifteenth Constitutional Amendment be adopted it will be out oi the power of any State to deny to the naturalized Uhmaman the same right of suffrage which is now enjoyed by the negroes and the native-born and naturalized Americana. " It will, of. course, be said that the Chinamen will liavo no immediate political power, and that when they do vote they. cannot well debase the suffrage more than it has been debased by*the admission to its privileges -of ignorant and irresponsible colored men. But two wrongs do not make a tight, and the Californians 1-- 41. ~ m.: _ 1- . * vi iiu iv11u w mo viiuiimiau iur uener than wo da, are bitterly opposod to giving them any political power. On tho other hand, it is certain that an addition of 100,000 or 200,000 Chinamen to our laboriug population would immediately chango for the hotter tho condition of the South. . It would increase our crops of every kind. It would make fertile again our desolate . fields, bring into cultivation our abandoned plantations, and givo trade to our towns and cities. Tho money profit would be both quick and sure. What our people huve to consider, therefore, is, whether tho reinoto danger of introducing another debasing ( clement into our political and social ! system is sufficient to make it unwise , to accept tho immediate benefit I which would seem".to lio within our p grasp." ?, "The Nineteenth Century."?

This action t however is not final as tho next step i to to taken is to submit this resolu- i lion to a voto of tho people. Private ( interests havo. 110 doubt controlled ? tho action of tho Council, and if tho > manifest advantages of tho Knox- ! villo routo*can have their duo weight ( upon the popular Will, we may antic- ( ipato a reversal of the decision of the ( city authorities. In any event how- < ever, every consideration of true policy urges us to the completion of*our own road to Jxnoxville, which will placc us in connection with both f Louisvillo and Cincinnati. The links , of this connection arc thus givcu in the News. % > "The Louisville and Nashville Bail- ( road Comnanv luivo n. (-Ivirior for i.Ju? extension ot' their Lebanon branch to tho State line of Tennessee, near Elk Gap, tho northern terminus.of tho ^ Knoxvillo and Kentucky liailroad. This branch is virtually completed to !j London, leaving only forty-live miles | of road yet to be built. This portion of the road has been surveyed, and tho estimated cost is $1,300,000. Of ( this sum the city of Louisville, we , are informed, has subscribed ?1,000,000, to be paid as the work progresses, j Of the Knoxville and Kentucky Road, nineteen miles remain to bo built, at ] an estimated cost of $7-G0,000, making , a total'of $2,1.10,000 as the probable j costs of tho roads to be built. The proposed road to Chattanooga crosses this line at Danville, and the distance from Cineinnatti to Knoxville, by this route, will bo threo hundred 1 and fifteen miles. 1 The advocates of the Chattanooga route have recently advanced as an ! arrmmont in fnvm* nf tlmi? - o J " ?U?IV, that by building a branch road from 1 Chitwood's to Elk Gap, a distance" of only twenty-five and a half miles, 1 thoy can reduce ' tho distanco from : Cincinnati to Knoxvill?, by their route to two hundred and ninety-six iniles, or only twenty-two miles moro than by i tho proposed diroct route; the distance from Cincinnati! to lvnoxville, by tho direct KnoxviHe route, being , two hundred and seventj'-four miles. We would add that by,thin route, we would bo brought somewhat nearer to Louisville than by any other. i amis advantage oi .Louisvillo will ultimately compel Cincinnati to build a road from Paris to London, which will give ns precisely tho same connection we have all along advocated. Wo shall however not insist upon this point, as it is not essential to our purpose, our connections being sufficient without it.

Much was paid of the barbarity of our government officials in consigning that refined and delicate frutrie to so grim and cheerless a . prison cell. Thousands of masculine . tongues in the South were busied in . recounting the numberless indignities - and insults to which their beloved t chief was daily subjected, and thou c Hands of gushing female hearts overe (lowed with tender compassion when u tliey thought of his desolato impris onment in a dark vault, mouldy and " chilly from the dampness that ooaed 1 from the stony walls. It makes one j melancholy to think of the hosts of falsehoods that were so diligently ^ passed around, and of the floods of tears and oceans of S3*mpathy that I were uselessly expended over the I suppos3d sufferings of their idolized! I Jefferson. I found the rooms pleas-. ant, comfortable, well ventilated, and L. not at all damp.

'I* A still better answer is furnished by the fact, that the Army Surgeon, Dr. Craven, detailed to attend upon Mr. Davis, pronounced his quarters un^ fit for one in his condition, and recommended his removal. ile: was, ^ accordingly removed; and Dr. Craj van, bdciiilso he had a little of' "the fj. milk of human kindness" in his nars ture, was also removed.

When Butler o- was "monarch of all he surveyed" the g fort was a combination of all that was offensive and unsightly, with but very few redeeming features indeed. A stranger, on landing at the dock, 11 might well have been pardoned for mistaking it for Timbuctoo, or some ^ other metropolitan niggeropolis On , every hand were huddled together nests of filthy pens, constructed in the peculiar stylo of architecture ii_ known only to the ebony sons ol g- Uam. t- As the systems then in vogue at dI' the fort wa3 not as perfect or as rigic idly exeouted as it should have been y. ittnnybe readily in'orred that tho hi gentle zephyrs which wore wafted from these hamlets were not as sweet 'll as those coming from a magnolia 1(1 grove or a vineyard. e Add to these aggregations of squal* id miser}' the immense piles of rubish . and trash created by collections of The Cotton Cuojp?1808-^1869.?X Charleston correspondent of lUe New York Shipping and Commercial List estimates the" crop of 1808, ?9 per returns at?balos, 2,508,241. With icgnnl to the projective crop ot 1809, nf:er noticing tho itijury likely to be done hy unfavorable seasoos, <fcc,, this writer says: We will now look on the other side of the question. There has been, without doubt, more land planted in ' cotton this Spring than in l808, while plenty of graia hus also been planted, to render,the South independent. Tho planters made hands-onie profits from their crop of last year, and have been nble to mirch?i?n a - - r &"* quantity of fertilizers than has ever been before imported into; the South. Tbe freed men aro working quiotly hftd treJI nil over tfio Southern Slatea, bo'.ter than at any timo 6ince the war, and will probably continue to do so, unless interfered wilb by politicians for political eoda.

England and Franco will certainly redouble their ?(Torts to procure cotton from Egypt fln*l India, if llie Atnorican cotton trado is to bo dutuibed by war. The Radicals do, not expect the South to unite cordially i in a ctueade against England, and this may serve as another pretext for the .exclusion of Southern Slates and statesmen from Government councils. One of the Radical schemes is to declare n.6n-int$rpour?3 with Great Britain unless she comes to tho Sumner terms in six months.: This would serve their purpose'by giving to the North tjio exclusive control of the cotton crop at *mcrely nominal prices, while N\>rth?rnmamtfaclures would tale the place of those imported from Great Biitain.
