he wanted the guards to shoot him. 1t be-

purpose to be subserved by keeping uD an

prosperity that does not exist We already
nsve intimations through these sources q
information, Of . degree Of restitution
poverty, and actual suffering for the com
moness neceasarics of life which the,
would have been slow to admit three
months ago, and which we should hay,
hardly credited If acknowledged.
1t may be said, generally. that the nco
pie are without money: That which the v
nave, consisting for the most part of the
Donus ana notes of the confederate gov
ernment' IS as worthless as brown paper
As = confederate officer remarked, n thous
ana dollars of it would not pay for the
washing of his sole remaining shirt In
the states that have been the theatre OF
extensive military operations, the people
arc not only without money, but horses
wagons, agricultural implements, and Other
material essential to huslmndry. In large
districts we are informed they are actually
without seed to sow and plant But the
most serious difficulty is the decentralization
OF labor itself The poor whites it is re-
marked, will not work and the blacks arc
not inclined to work without pay Even
We're there plenty of labor, and the means
towork with. the people are in no condi-
ton to wait for the harvest. In Virginia
and North Carolina, and in large sections
of South Carolina, Georgia and Alabama
they have been stripped of all supple.
and are in state Of starvation. The rail
roads are destroyed and lines of commnni
cation broken up, SO that it is impossible
to distribute supplies from points where
there is a surplus to Others where there is q
3cficit; and even now the paroled soldiers
returning home from the dshandcd ar
mics, are compelled to forage as they travel
through regions not visited by the armies
prior to the cessation of hostilities.
II the people, however, can be safely
carried through the present season, the
crisis will be past, and they will managcto
raise sufficient to supply their necessities
and have something over for trade and cx-
change. No country under the sun is
more prolific than the South. The soil has
but to be 'tickled with hoe, and it will
laugh with harvest" If the slaves car
be managed land the assurance of free
dom and wages will be MI they want,
there will be an abundant harvest. Thu
papers are urging the planters to immcdi
ately adopt some system of paid labor tina
will satisfy the blacks and keep them en-
ployed. They urge it as primary neccs
sity, and as the first thing demanding thci
attcntion and if they are not mislcd b.
! the politicians who seem still infatuated
with the idea of making slavery the basi
of future political capital, the suggestion
will be acted on, the slaves freed, and tn
soil put under cultivation at once Gin
