TIE FREE SOUTH.

"The Free South, weekly newspaper pub
lished at Beaufort, Sout Carolina, contains a
report of the operations offree labor at the South
by Mr.. Richard Soulr general superintendent
of the I'd Division. which concludes as follows:
"'rhe problem whether or not these negroes
could he depended upon for steady labor when
working for wages may be considered as al
ready solved 1t is proved, beyond a doubt
that they will work steadily and faithfully from
the same motives that acfuate white laborers.-
If they have accomplished such results as our
experience shows under the stimulus of little
more than mere promises of payment what may
we not expect of them when the wages follow
close upon the work?
''However it may be with the material results
of our enterprise, no one acquainted with the
facts ventures to deny that, spiritually these
emancipated bondmen have been elevated in
the scale of being by the Instructions thpv have
received, and by the kindly influence diffu>ed
among them through their guardians, the Teach
ers and Superintendent.
ga large portion of the children attend school
regularly, and many of the adults take lessons
in reading and writing. 1t is very remarkable
that the great interest felt by them in acquiring
the elements of learning when their teachers first
came among them has continued unabatcd to
the present time.

religious people and they need only to be en-
lightened in order 10 display all the finer quali-

A WARNING. AGAINST CRIME.

A Philadelphia paper in giving the descript-
ion of the visit OF the two furgers, Emory aud
Melville, 10 the Photographic rooms to have their
likenesses taken for the "Rogues- Gallery" gives
the following account of the behavior of Mel
Vile, (known here in the case of the forgery on
the City Bank as Capt. Manning.)
While Melville was in the Photographic gallery
he preached sermon tn the parties who were
present. His countenauce ssad but resigned
He had rum the length of his tether, and fell that
the hand of Justice was upon him. The sitting
completed, Mr. Cuhill announced that salts

Saying this the young forger brushed tear

with the detective, in whose charge he was, and
laughingly walked away. Following them
back to the cells, we addressed the prisoner:
"How much ofwhat you just now uttered did

MR.. Lincolnin Europe.

The Caledonian Mercury-one of the most re-
spectacle journals Of Edinburgh, thus expresses
the sentiments Of the better (not the higher)
classes in Europe with regard to the Presidents
late Annual Message:
"The more the text of the Presidents Message
is considered, the higher must be our apprecia-
tion ofits calm and thoughtfullness, so different
from the rowdyism we were wont to receive
from Washington when Pro-Slavery Cabinets
were in the ascendant. President Lincoln
speaks of the attitude assumed toward the Uni
ted States by European Governments without
irritation; strong in the Justice of the cause he
represents, aud in the power of the great people
over whom he rules. He speaks without asrer-
ity even to the Rebels who have done so much
to bring calamity upon the country; and, we
believe, were the mscreants of the Confederacy
at his feet tomorrow, Mr.. Lincoln would mere
ly bid them departand tryfor the future TO be wi
ser and better men. When we recollect the ran
corous have entertained in this country toward
the Indian rebels, we feel humiliated that this
village attorney 'this ral-splitter from Illinois
should have shown himself so superior 10 the
mass of monarchial statesmen. IT some conied-
crate Gorgei should be found to lay down his
arms and yield up the cause OF the Rebels, in
place of tile n,assacres of Arad, we should have
feast of brotherly kindness. Mr. Lincoln ad-
dressing the Rebels as hayward children. He
truly acts and speaks as the father of his coun-
try; and yet this man, SO kind and inerciful-
leniept even to a faults made the sport and
butt of all the idle literary buffoons of Britain.
The day will come when the character and
career of Abraham Lincoln will get justice in
this country, and when probably even his cause
less assalants will blush for the share they took
in lampooning noble, brave man, who in a
fearful crisis possessed his soul in patience,
trusting in God, and that in his own good time
aud wise way all will be we'll" Too truly
does he say that " the fiery trial through which
we pass will light us down in honor or dshonor
to the latest generation" There can be little
doubt what The verdict of future generations
will be, if President Lincoln proceeds TO the end
of his career as he has begun. Before two years
Of his administration have been completed, he
has reversed the whole Constitutional action of
America on the subject of Slavery. He has
saved the Territories from the unhallowed grasp
of the Slave Power; he has purged the accursed
institution from the Congressional District; he
has hung slave holder in New York, The nest
of slave pirates; he has he'd ont the right hand
of fellowship to the negro Republics of Lbe-
ria aud Hayti; and he has joined Great Britain
in endeavoring TO sweep The slave-trade from
the coast of Afical There can be no doubt of
the verdict of posterity on such acts as these.
| Within the light of the fiery trial of which the
| President speaks, another light has shone clear
and refulgent---the torch of Freedon--to which
millions of poor slaves now look with eager
hope"

OENsus OF ENGLANn.

The first volume of the census for England,
which has Just been issued, shows the numbers
aud distribution of the people in the several
parishes and places. An abstract of the returns
was published last year, a careful revision of
them shows that on the 6th of April 1861, the
population of England and Wales, with the Isle
Of Man and Channel Islands, including the army
at home aud the navy and seamen in, the ports,
rivers and creeks-that is TO say, all the pei SONS

20967l. The returns for Scotland having also
been revised, the population OF Great Britain on
that day is found TO have been 1921 ,965; and
the returns for ireland, when the revision of
these, also, is completed, will bring The popula-
ton of the United Kingdom TO above % 100000.
The increase in England and Wales alone, since
the census Of 1851 has been 2l3S,Sl5; noiwith-
standing that in the interval 2250,000 persons

tore it down. in the presence of the fleet, in broad
daylight. The symbol Of our nationality was
tramped in the dust, torn in shreds. and the
pieces borne off by the rebels as trophies. Gen.
Butler said:
That act in its consequences might have been
most calamious. The commander of the Fed =
eral fleet had a right to suppose that the Mayor
Of the city had come to the conclusion to renew
the contest and the symbol of that renewal was
the tearing down of the flag. 1t might as a
military proposition have brought upon the

through the very proper caution of Commodore

Gen. Buffers plan for the payment Of the Ma
tiolal Debt recommends itself for its compre-
hcilsveness and simplicity. He elaborated it
in n speech in Boston. The General said
And when once this war is closed by that
subiugation, if you please, If necessary, then the

cotton aud tobacco, with which we ought and
can and shall supply the world-this increased
production by the emigration of white men in

it is here, Capplause1 will pay the 6ebt. With
the millions of hogsheads of the one and the
millions of bales of the other and with proper
internal tax, which shall be paid by England
and France, who have largely caused this mis-
chief, the debt will be paid. [Cries " that's
right, and loud cheers Without stopping to
be didactic or to discuss principles here, let us
examine this matter for moment. They are
willing to pay fifty aud sixty cents pound for
cotton The past has demonstrated that even
by the unecUnomical use Of slave labor. it can be
Iproftably raised-aye, proftably beyond all
conception of agricultural profit here-at ten

what it IS to-day and that cotton can be more
proftably raised under free labor than under
slave labor no man who has examined the sub
iect doubts. BY the imposition ofths tax those
men who fitted out the Alabama and sent her
