HEAR Born SIDEs.-We see it
stated by various correspondents that
"the Government intends giving Jeffer.
son Davis fair trial" Therefore we
feel it our duty to say that, ifthe assassi-
nation of President Lincoln, apd the evi-
dence already taken in the case, is to
have bearing in the trial, witnesses can
be procured at this place whose testi.
mony will show that Mr.. Davis, and
members of his Cabinet, expressed de.
cIded disapprobation and reprobation of
the assassination Of the President of the
United States. "Fair play is a iewer'
at any time and in any place-we be-.
lieve President Johnson intends to allow
''fair play"-and we respectfully request
that tho witnesses alluded to be sum.

one will in q greater or less degree be con
trolled by circumstance until he gradually
rises again to independence. But, upon {
few general points we each have com.
| mon interest. These are
list. Nc wages should be paid the laborsl
till the end of the season and then in pro-
portion to the service rendered, and the
| result of such service.
I'd. Each hand should be made to mn
derstand that If he leaves his employee,
before the expiration of his time o. service
or is discharged for neglect Of duty, he
will in every case forfeit oil compensation
for service rendered.
Sd. The discharge OF unfaithful hands
should be prompt and inevitable.
4th. Each planter should, both for his
own and the general good, make the stan
dsrd of submission and labor as high Of
possible,
5th. The rules for the regulations and
discipline of hands on plantations formerly
in force should be revived Us far as is pos
siblo under existing regulations. The
penalty for the INCONSISTENCIES of these
rules being now a prompt discharge, or for
minor offences, forfeiture of pay.
IL will be noticed that none of these sug-
gestions conflict with the regulations now
in force for the government of hands, and
in general, that the new regime used differ
from the old in no respect save in the man :
ner of enforcing discipline. This is indeed
vital point and we would frankly con-
cede, that unless the planter can control
his labor fully, every effort to make crop
either of cane or cotton would inevitably
fail. Nor do we expect that the new sys-
tenn of things will be inaugurated without
Inconvenience and in some cases actual
loss. But, in the inauguration of this sys-
tela, the planter is aided by the unvarying
law of nature, which in time never fails to
give the intellect control over matter and
hence, he must in the end succeed,

fected by legislation or emancipation acts.
As futile would be an act to emancipate
the white races from their social RESPONSE

cd by new name and in minor points be
regulated by new laws, but in the one i'm

question is beyond the reach of human
enactmen Is.
1t requires then, no prophets eye to read
the future. The recuperative powers of
this nation are inconceviably strong. Be-
fore this decade shall be completed we con-
fidently expect TO see the immense resources
of this country once more pouring wealth
into the treasury of the world, developed
by the same labor under control of the
same minds as formerly. Machinery too,
will lend it's aid the steam plough and
other inventions Of the age will more than

tenn ; and we will be once more happy
and prosperous people. XX.

THE QUESTION OF LABoR.--Wt
make room to-day for one of the best
written articles ON the question o.
labor which has yet come within the
province of our perusal. 1t is the pro
duction of a gentleman of this vicinity,
who theoretically and practically has
had rare opportunities for studying
the subject Of which he treats in all
its bearings, and who, from happy
commingling of literary tastes and
agricultural pursuits, shows himself
as felicitous in the cultivation of the
pen as he is in the cultivation of the
soil.
The protean shapes which this
question of labor has been made to
assume since the overthrow of the
old system, render it one of extreme
difficulty to adjust satisfactorily at
the outset. This was naturally to
be expected as sequence to that
mighty convulsion which has termi-
mated in the abolition of slave labor
and substituted in its stead an incho-
ate set of plans and experiments,
which time alone, after thorough
sitting, can reduce to anything like
fundamental shape or order, in their
practical workings. The views ad-
vanced by our correspondent, appear
to meet the issue in manner which
commends itself to the earnest atten-
ton OF our people. .-.r-
Our next Legislature will doubt
less have much Of its attention occu
pied in the deliberation of matters
connected with this absorbing ques-
ton, and we hope to see the members
of that body fully prepared to meet
it with all the wisdom and intelli-
gence which its Importance will de-
mand. They will have much valua-
BILE data to draw from in the many
suggestions and propositions which
are daily offered by thoughtful minds,
which must materially aid them in
the perfection Of their plans for
more reliable and enduring system OF
labor in our State.
