The Yankee and the Negro.

The Yankees are disgrs,.d already with
their experiment in cotton growing by con.
traband' labor. General Hunter. who sspe
cially champions the negro movement, has
put his Port Royal settlement to raising
corn instead Of cotton. The New York
Tribune says:
One Of the reasons for the change 10 the
discrepancy between the financial profits Of
last years cotton crsp, and the Government
capital invested in it. # is true uucon.
trolabls meteorological causes had most to
do with the unsatisfactory crop; but in the
present straitened condition of the national
finances, Il is we'll argued, similar invest.
nents Of uncertain promise must be dis.
countensnced.
The New York Argus adds:
It's stated that every pound Of cotton
produced By tho negros al Beaufort, has
cost the Government twenty dollar. Per
pound.
Thus everything these philanthropists
promised US has failed--ev.ry effort 10 the
way OF war, every enterprise Of peace. The
negro was to rush to the rescue Of our
arms-but he did not, tIe Was to'sust.in
and foed our armies but it is burden on
,hsm. lie was to supply the North with
free labor cotton! He fails in that. lie is
now TO be set TO raising corn, as il that
mus, not still moro surely fail.
