systsn.
Col. George H. Hanks, superintendent Of
negro labor In Gen. Bankb' department., made
an Interesting report on the 9Sd ult., Of the
operstions Of the free labor system devised BY
General Banks for the year 1868. Col. Hanks
Riyvs this account OF the difficulties and the
way IN which they were overcome;
Ia. The planters and eT-slaVeholders did
not helieVe IN the theory, and were very slew
and dilatory 10 assist In reducing Il to practice.
They were universally hostile 70 the movement,
well knowing that II Il succeeded their petted
and stupendous fabric Of slavery would be
., Inc msjority OF the officers and men In
our army, other from real or assumed mlscon-
structon Of the order, wero hostile 10 its execu-
tion, and rspeatedly, directly or indirectly,
opposed 1t, being goaded on by the Northern
press, one faction OF which hurled Its male
dictlons,at u and Its author, the other Jeeringly
saying! 'HRi hal Con. Banks is isreturning ne
Rroes 70 slavery In the midst Of all these con.
tending Influences the principle was quietly
working, and II soon became evident 10 all who
werenot predetermined TO disbelieye, that It wal
nolonger an experiment. The negroes worket
and that too under the most disparaginE Ant
Encouraging circumstances. In consequence
ofthe eupidity or nl-wm Of their employers
they were often treated in bad faith; sometime
swindled out ofthsir earnings, or defrauded Ii
the matter Of food and clothing; still they per
sistently worked on, seeming 70 comprehend
the necessity Of suffering In their Transition
from slavery 10 freedom. When the crops o.
last autumn were resdy for harvssting, thert
became q demand for labor, and many thou
Sand negroes were employed ct remunerativ'
wages. " ErE--Tr.l- E
assume the position Of guardian or protec
tor for them, and made written contracts will
those desiring 10 employ them, causing tn
employer 10 support tho old, inifm and younI
who might be attached 20 the family Of tn

allowed q separation Of families. The resal
Is that the negroes have been re-engaged OF
these plantations for the present year, and a
this date there Ia not in the department

porting. Ihaye long since refused to receiv,
application for laborors, being unable 10 supply
the demand, the number applied for being be
tween three and ave thousand. There are no
nov more than two hundred souls, including
SIXTY orphan children, supported at the publi
expense In this entire department, and thes
will speedily become self-supporting. The oil
and decrepit have been placed upon an abrn
doned plantation, and materials furnished theT
which win soon enable them to become indC
pendent Of the charities OF the Government.

INTERCoNTlNENTAL TELEGRAPH.


We publish to-day very interesting paper from
the SECRETARY OF STATE on a scheme for con-
Meeting the Eastern and Western Continents of
the World by telegraphic communication, and for
which bill was reported to the Senate on Thurs
day last by Mr. CHANDLER, from the Committee
Of Commerce of that body. This bill grants to
Perry McDonough Collins, and his associates, the
right of way over any unoccupied lands in the
United States with one quarter section of land for
every fifteen miles of telegraph. 1t is designed to
connect with the line from the mouth Of Amoor
RIVER, through Asiatio Russia, via Behring's
Straits, and down the coast of Russian America.
1t stpulates that, if the line is constructed within
five years, the Secretary Of State shall contract
for the use of the line for ten years ensuing, for
the use Of the executive, legislative, and judicial
departments Of the Government, paying the sum
of fifty thousand dollars per year The grantees
are allowed to run steamer on the Pacific coast
for the use of the line. G
Iu reply to an application to the Secretary Of
State for his views on this important subject, Mr..
SEWARD addressed to the Committee of Commerce
the letter referred to, in which he discusses the
great scheme presented for his examination and
opinion in SO comprehensive and statesmanlike
manner.
