"A gentleman Of intelligence, large
planter residing near Demopilis, Alabama,
states that all rumors of disorderly conduct
Of the freedmen in his neighborhood were
unfoupded. That although the negroes
were not very willing to engage for the next
coming year, it was not from any belief they
had in the pretended division Of property,
but simply because the working on shares
has not proven favorable to them for the
balance Of the year just expired.

A special dispatch from Washington
10 tile New York Nescs, says: There is rea.
son to believe that the English Govern
mept has made Formidable demand upon
Mr.. Seward for the suppression of all public
Fenian demonstrations, and that the failure
to do SO will be regarded as a hostile act
This demand is based upon disclosures re-
Gently made in England relative to the
strength and object of the Feniau move
mept, and the matter was considered in the
Cabinet meeting. The Radicals are get
ting somewhat uneasy
- The New Orleans Crescent says:
We learn that conference has been held
between number of prominent planters of
the State and leading agency of this city,
which has resulted in an arrangement by
which large number of Germans are to be
invited to come to Louisiana as laborers up
on some of our cotton plantations. These
gentlemen, BY way ofexperiment, propose to
cultivate one plantation With white labor
exclusively, so that practical comparison
may be made of the results of negro and
white labor in the culture of our great
staple.
The Charlotte Times learns sfrom
reliable gentleman that large numbe: of
negroes have congregated on James and
other Islands, on the seabeard, land have re-
fused to be dispossessed. They have eyinced
such mutinous spirit, that forthe safety
of the white inhabitants, General Sickles
has telegraphed for 10000 more troops
That country seems to be in dreadful con-
dition, and good deal of apprehension is
felt. The negroes are largely predominant,
and are disposed to give trouble-all owing
to the misrepresentation under which they
are lsboring in regard to the division a.
mopgst them of the lands Of their former
owners"
