inaugurates an overwhelming revolution
in the system Of labor in vast and i'm.
portant agricultural section Of the coun-
try, which will, il the rebels persist in
their course, suddenly emancipa,e three
or four millions OF human beings, and
throw them, in the fuiluess Of their help
lessress and ignorance, upon their own
resources and the wisdom OF the white
race to properly regulate and care FOR
them IN their new condition of life. But
the Importance Of This great social revo
luton will not be confined TO the section
where the black race now forms the
chief laboring element. 1t will have an
influence on the labor OF the North and
West. 1t will, to a certain extent, bring
the black labor Of the South in cOmpeti
tion with the white labor on the exten
sive gram farms Of the West, unless the
existing stringent laws Of some Of the
Western States, confning the negro lo
his present geographical position, are
adopted in all the other free States.

THE ORGANIZATION OF NEoRo LABOR
We are informed tha, the negro force
on Morris Island is in charge Of a very
intelligent and experienced practical
planter, who has volunteered his services;
that he has so divided and organized the
labor INTO squads. under foremen, as to
have all the hands closely supervised and
kept at work and tha, the progress
made is very satisfactory. As a matter
OF justice and general satisfaction VIC

I'VE have at last some authentic ac.

will pardon us 1t we decline to disclose
their Whereabouts. Suffice it to say, ,hat
our army is not in Maryland, but in a DO,
sitlon TO meet the enemy should he At
tempt an invasion OF the VALLEY. A gen
tlenau from the immediate neighborhood
OF the army, and who left there on Tues,
day morning, says that recruits are daily
reaching General Lee, and that the army
is now in far better condition than at any
time since the second battle Of Manassas
The officers aid men are in buoyant sprr
its, and are anxi"usIy hoping that tn.
enemy will attempt the passage Of the
Potomac. OF this, however, there seems
very little probability, as 1t is current,
reported, aud pretty generally believed

OF the enemy are closely observed, ard
