Free and Slave Labor.

The Albany Cutivator contains an animated dis- cussion between two citizens of the South as to the comparative value of Slave and Free Labor. " A Southerner' asks whether IL would not be mora profitable to employ free labor than slave. '' 4 Virginian," from Matthews Couniy, answers pos- itively,
 There is no labor in this country 90 cheap as slave labor. There is DO labor in this country 80 well adapted to agriculture, particularly on large farms, as slave labor'
 Inproef of his opinion, "A virginian" takes the situation of A SOutherner," who has 800 acres of arabe land divided into four shfts viz: 900 u corn, 200 in small grain, aud 400 grasses-to cultivate which would require from IS 10 20 feld-hands. .- He suPPoses that. instead of owning the slaves. which is decided advantage, the individual had to hirs them-and he then enters into the following mathematical. and. to our conception, conclusive demonstration:
 "Say 20 heid hands, men, boys and women, were to be hired. They could be had in Virginia at an average of $50 s6o per year, depending of course upon the proportion of men 10 women. The men being worth more Twenty hands al fifty dollars would cost 5000
