The official order Of Adj.-Gen. Tbomss an
nouncing system for the occupation OF plan
totious on the Mississippi and the employment
thereon Of emancipated negroes, proposes in
substance that the plantations shall be leased
and that the Government shall supply the
lessees with aborers. The wages Of the ne
groes are fred at certain sum to- be pa'd
by the lessees, who in lieu Of rent, are to 20
taxed on the products of the estate.
The plsn is the same in eject as that which
was proposed for the Sea leland estates IN
South Caroline, and which after very full dis
cussion aud consideration was rejected as IN
consistent with the rights OF the negroea ano
sure TO result in their injury Under sIch
system it is inevitable that the estates VIII DO
leased by speoulstOrs, and no amount oil care
or superintendent by the Government Com
mssioners will be- able to protect the negroes
from oppression, cruel treatment, and over
work. Except that punishment by the lash Is
forbidden, they will be if possible worse OF
than on the same plantations under their cid
matters and in uDdygused Slavery. The
owner Of slaves had the Indictment of self
interest not to go beyond certain point in his
exsotons and abuses. The lessee is freed from
any sucd restraint, ard by the terms of his con-
tract which is to expire in lese than year,
his only interest is to get all possible work IN
the shortest possible time out OF his laborefs.
Idle stipuatons impossible of enforcement VIII
not fstter an unscrupaOus spectator, such as
most OF these lessees ere likely 70 be. What
ever the contract says about humane treatment
will be operative Just 80 far as direct super
vision. aud compusioH make IL so, and no
further.
It is FAR better then to adopt at once the
alternative plan suggested in this order, aud
put the plantations under the care of superin-
tendents who shall have no interest in tho
products of the estates and be responsible TO
the Government for the treatment Of the ne
groes who are to labor on them Amid every
encouragement, that system has worked well
on the islands about Port loyal, aud is the
only one under which justice AID humanity to
the negroes can in any measure be secured.
The plan of Gen. Thomas ignores the rights Of
the blacks, forgets that they are free, and
deals with them as with so many cattle. They
are stock for the plantations. nothing mora.
Even the wording of bis order has the old
faint Of Slavery-"The negroes are to be pSt
to agricultural pursuits" "As many negroes
Of Average quality as the leesee may desire ars
to bs turned orer to him upon the order of the
Commissioner" The price of their labos 10
fixed between the Government and the em.
poyer; the negro is not deemed worth con.
suIting.
There are other objections to the proposed
system, but the absve ought TO be more than
sufficient to overthrow it. If tue Goyerameat
has really at seart, as we do not doubt, the
welfare of the thousands of loyal freemea
whom Its adoption viii degrads and resasleve.
it will reconsider this plan and substitute forl
it one that shall be just and humsne.

MEXICO.

We have this morning later news OF thu
siege of Puebla By the French from two differ
ent quarters-from Acapulco via San Francisco
April 6, and from Vera Cruz, to April y. The
former account is from a Mexican, the latter
from French source. Although these accounts
are far from being so minute as we would
wish, they leave no doubt as to the man
point. In our issue of Monday morning, we
referred to the capture Of the Fort San Javier,
which took place in the night OF March 81, and
as our readers will see from the map of Puebla
which we publish this morning, put them at
once into possession of portion OF the west
erp part of the city. On the sans day the
Penitenciara was captured aud burned, and
100 Me1icans persisted in the flames. A request
of Gen. Ortega for permission to remove from
the town the women, children and old persons
was refused by Gen. Forey.
The whole city was filed with barrieades.
Soon after the capture Of Fort st. Jayier, the
French claim TO have taken two other fortified
positions, but their names are not given. They
now were in possession of two principal
streets, leadiag to the Plaza de Armas, and
on April they were, according to their &c
count, in possession Of oDe-tbird of the city.
The Mexican accounts from Acapulco seem to
indicate similar result, though they only
state that the Convent of San Augusin and six
blocks Of buildings had been destroyed by the
French. The French claim to have suffered
until then loss Of only $50 killed and 500
wounded. On the 9Th of April, according to
the Mexican account, the fight continued, but
no special progress toward occupying the city
had been made, in the opinion of the
Me1icans. On the following day, If the
given by the Diario Of Havana
my be relied upon, the French must have
gained importan: successes. Both the Plaza de
Armss and the Cathedral fell into their hands,
two positions which put st least one half OF the
city in their power, and may be of decisive in
Auenee in tho ultimate ssue OF the siege. The
Ne1icans, who numbered in the city about
-, 900 men, fought, even according to French
accounts, with coasummste bravery, but the
superior artillery of the French carried the
day. The two strongest Notifications Of the
city, Loreto and Guadalupe, were, however,
still holding out, and the MeIicans were still
haltering themselves with the hope that these
fort, entirely commanded the portion Of the
city which had been cnptured by the French.
but a. their communications with CoinoDiort
were cut Of, there !, reason to fear that they
must ultimately succumb.
Gen. Comonfort was defending, with from
II. 900 to IL, 900 soldiers. the road leading to-
ward the City Of Mexico. An account had
been received in Havana that he had been to-
taly deleated and destroyed, but this was con.
tradicted by the same paper which had given
the account. Comonfort had continual Skin
mishes with the French, but seemed 70 avoid
a great battle.

Our correspondent at Athens writes us that
the Greek Assembly or Congress on the lst
inst. voted themselve $50 per month out of the
impoverished treasury of Greece, contrary to
the Constitution, which requires them to serve
without pay. This so inceDsed the Athenans,
that they assembled at evening around the
capitol, broke all its windows by stoning, and
compelled tie frightened representatives to back
square out Of their swindle.
If the fashion thus set should extend to
this country, it would be vastly for the benefit
of the GLACIERS

GENERAL. NEWS.

Yesterday morning the famous Tenth Regiment.
COL Bendx arrived at the foot Of CourtaDdt street,
n this city, where they were met by the 37th Regi-
ment, under command of Col. Roome, and large
plumber Of relatives and friends. The procession
started at noon led by the 37th, and enthusiasts
tcay cheersd all along the line of march. Broadway
uss gay and gorgeous with banners and streamers,
and hosts of ladies' and gentlemen filled every door,
window, and balcony. The zOusyes, with their
white turbans and blue tsssels, blue coats and
trowsers trimmed with red, and their faces brown
az berries, had an Oriental look which appeared in
strong contrast with the vast multtudes that cheered
them constantly by clappiDg hands and shouts Of
welcome. The flag presented to these brave boys
by the citizens Of New.York two years ago was
borne aloft by the color-besrer with emotions Of
pride and exutsDt joy. 1t had passed through the
smoke aud flame and baptism Of blood on many q

NEWS OF THE DAY.
THE WAR NEWS.

Our Port Royal letters are to the Goth. The
movement against Charleston had not yet began,
though troops and iron.clsds were ready for duty.
From Stone and Edisto we have nothing, save oc-
casiona diminishing, with no loss of life on either
side. The islands occupied several weeks since are
still held by force deemed sufficiently strong for
present purposes, and probably will not be again
abandoned without a severe battle. The Sd South
Carolina (negro) Regiment, Col Bennett, is being
rapidly organized and by the close Of another week
will be ready to be mustered into the service.
st. Louis papers give further particulars Of the
gallant affair ut Cape Girardeau. Marmaduke's
forces comprised four bgades and had ten pieces OF
artillery. On our side the LIST Nebraska did most Of
the fighting. They were posted in the woods about
o mile from town, and kept Msrmaduke's whole
force in check, while the guns from the fort played
upon them doing considerable execution. The
ensmy's loss is about 60 killed and 200 wounded.
by way Of Memphis and Cairo we learn That
the Union forces attacked the Rebels at Tuscumbia
on Monday night, and after sharp resistance drove
them out andnow occupy the place. Few particulars
are given. Tuseumbia is about GO miles east Of
CoriDth on the great railroad connecting with Vir.
gniai ii is directly south of Florence on the south
side Of the Tennessee two three miles from that
river.
Our special correspondent at MurfreesborC
speaks with the utmost confidence Of Rosecrens'
position and ability to defeat the Rebel army shoul
they venture an attack. There was some doubt a
to the meaning of their recent movements, but up
Tuesday it was not believed that they intended
make deliberate attack at present.
We have Newbern news to the Goth, brought b
the transport Ellen S. Terry. All was quiet. I'll
troops are engaged in strengthening the fertilization
ct Newbern and Washington. No forward move
ment is to be expected in some time. Gen. FOstt

Letters from East Tennessee say that there al

out by 5 900 men from our own side. Though sti

The election of Tuesday turned
ont a great Union success. In al
most every precinct in the States
voting on that day large Union gains
were had. We give the returns for
our own County in another place.
Ne-y satisfactory TO Loyal citizens.
In Ohio where the great contest
was TO be fought at the polls, and 10
which the eyes of the whole nation
and Of Europe were turned and on
the result Of which So much seemed
TO depend, the most glorious victory
for the Government has been attain
ed.
Enough is already known to make
it sure that Brough is elected by at
least 10000, to say nothing about
the soldiers vote, which, it is thought
will swell the majority to 100000,
Thus has the great work of putting
down Northern Copperhead treason
been quietly effected. Vallandig-
ham and Vallandighamism are buried
ont Of sight. And it was all peace
fully done The careful preparation
OF the authorities at the points most
threatened with violence ensured
quiet at the polls. We regard the
entire result as one of our greatest
victories. The soldiers vote so far
as i heard from was almost entire
~ for Brough.
Though not looked to with quite
the same anxiety, we are glad to say
that the election in Pennsylvania has
resulted favorably to the National
cause. Enough is known to render
it pretty certain that Curtin is rec
lected by large union gains.
