THE 1, IIEEDM E .

A correspondent of the New York Citizen, writ-
ing from Richmond, Virginia, says, that " The
freed negroes are exhibiting qualities of industry,
moderation, patience, docility, and self-respect
which entitle them to all praise, and are extorting
the praise even of those who most feared and dis-
liked their ascendancy. Treat them with even
decent fairness and kindness—make a-bargain with
them which you mean to keep—and they are fully
as respectful as under the old system, and far more
industrious, far more willing to learn new and im-
proved methods of agriculture and all the mecha-
nical arts. The improvement of their labour, now
that it is free and compensated, nearly, if not fully,
makes up to the old owners—such of these latter as
are not bound in prejudice—for the loss of their
services as slaves. The. regular rate of wages for
good field hands is about " $1.00.a year and found"
—their subsistence costing about one-third more
than their pay ; so that for fifty cents a day, at
the outside, good farm labourers maybe engaged by
every one who will treat them fairly. Where they
are not treated fairly by some of their old em-
ployers, who cannot bring themselves as yet to
" accept the situation"—the remedy is in the hands
of the negroes, and it is very quietly employed. One
case as an example of what is occurring everywhere :
—Last year an old Virginia planter, owning more
than two thousand acres, but without any ready
money, made a bargain with about twenty able-
bodied negro labourers to give them one-third of his
crops when they were harvested, and to support
them in the meantime. When it catra_ ,near,..„Abg,

period for settlement, however, he forced quarrels-7c
many of them ; and brought the others into his
debt, by charging exorbitant prices for such shoes
and other necessary articles a 3 he had furnished
them. The negroes took this very patiently, and
last year that old planter garnered an undivided
crop. But the trouble is, this year, that he will have
no crop to garner ; and his plantation is consequently
under thesheriff's hammer Neither promises, nor
even pay, willinduce the negroes to work for him. He
had cheated them once, when they had trusted him,
and he had them in his power ; and this year not a
single black farm hand would enter his employ-
ment for love or money. One case of this kind,
occurring in each county, soon tells its own story
and remedies its own disease. A more docile or
industrious labouring population could nowhere be
found than the blacks of the State are at present,
as a general rule ' • and every new white family that
settles there will be a practical argument to bring
back the misled negroes of Richmond and else-
where, in the cities, to a realizing'sense and prac-
tice of their changed relations with the whites.
The new Constitution of Virginia will be over-
whelmingly carried, it is safe to predict ; but all the
indications equally are that the full Democratic
State ticket will likewise be returned, and perhaps
all the Democratic Congressmen."
