Hon. Miner Gibson had been address
ing his constituents at Ashton. He pre-
dicted a speedy revival of the cotton
trade and plentiful supplies. He CON-
bstted the idea that the American war
was beneficial to England. He pointed
out that the the rebel cruisers were a les
son to England; her commerce might be
similarly attacked at future time, and
the Government must be supported in its
efforts to stop the supply of such vessels.
He asserted that England has acted to-
ward America as she would like America
TO act toward her in q similar emerg encY.
He uttered no prophesies as to the issue of
war, but contended that slavery was the
whole motive; that the South were the
aggressors In order to found a slave

JussIce to the Freedmen.

When the experiment Of leasing the
cOnfiscated plantations on. the Mississip-
pi river began, the Commissioners grant
ed easy terms TO the lessees, and per-
mitted them to pay meagre wages to the
hired freedmen; but the new Treasurer
ct Wcksburg, Mr. Mellen, has establish
ed juster rate Of compensation, requir-
ing the lessees 10 pay their lAbOrers at
the rate of S25 month for men. $50 for
women, and Sl7 for children. Moreover,
under this new order of affairs, should
the freedman become dissatisfied with
his position, he has the privilege of leav-
ing bis work, and the lessee is required
to pay him half-wages until be again
finds employment. Another stipulation
is that one acre Of land shall be set apart
for each feld-hsnd, and that be shall be
allowed time TO work il, and the wages
are TO be paid semi monthly.
Some objections have been made TO the
stringency Of these regulations, but it
seems to be certain that the plantations
will not lie idle even at the advanced
rates Of compensation, while the free
blscks'are clearly entitled TO the share
which the agent thus ensures them in
the profits Of the reviving trade Of the
southwest. During the last year, the pay
and allowance to each hand amounted to
500 while the profits of the over
seers amounted to 8. 500. The injustice
Of this was most apparent; and We are
glad the proper remedy has been en-
plOyed.
