Negro Labor.

A resolution was adopted by the
House some days since. calling up
on the Secretary OF the Treasury for
information respecting the expenses
for the sustsinanee Of slaves &C., in
the Sea Island cotton district OF
South Carolina from the commence,
ment Of he rebellion. A reply has
been mede, from which it appears
that there was expended for agricul
trral inn lement, in round numbers,
ST .Os1; for the purchase of the
schooner Flora, $3l $50; for white
labor, S2.74S; for colored labor
$34 527; total expenses, $215,7O5.
From this expenditure has been re
aliz,d $726,9S4. Deducting the
above expenses, there remains on
hand from this fund S5O1 279.-
This was mp to June last, at which
time the busine Q was transferred to
tho War Department. The schoou
er Flora was used for transporting
property to New York and for mill
tary operations, and can now be
sold at an advance above her cost.
The Secretary says that no sxpend.
iture whatever has been made from
tho Treasury on account of the cul.
tivation Of the plantations or the
collection of cotton, or the educa.
tional OF benevolent care of the Ia,
borers. Tho rations furnished by
the War Department were paid fol

half million of dollars was saved
by these operations and is in the
