WHY THE REGULAR TROOPS ARE BEING SENT
TO TEXAS.
A month ago there were ninety thousand
troops at various points west Of the Mississippi.
and ninety thousand more at various points
east Of that little strcamlet. The disposition
| Of the various bodies composing this force was
stated In my letter Of August 30. OF the
troops In Texas, some twenty thousand were
negroes. During the last month these negroes
have been withdrawn and quietly disbanded,
and some five thousand white soldiers have re-
Gently been sent from various points in the
East TO take their places. The whole number
OF negro soldiers who have been disbanded
during the last three months Is about sixty
/ thousand.
EFFECT or ABOLITION UPON THE NEGROES
There are anumber 81 societies I'm operation
IN the Soulful believe they exist in every one
Of the Southern States-for the promotion and
encouragement of the emigration of white
laborers TO the South. These societies are es.
tablished by large landed proprietors, who
have thus clubed together 10 secure what they
are convinced they could accomplish i'm nc
other way, namely: the profitable cultivation
Of the soil Of the Southern States. Each one OF
the societies has agents I'm the Northern States
and also in Germany, Ireland, and other Euro.
pean countries, and have learned to-day that
the thing Is no longer an experiment, but d
certainty. White laborers can be obtained IN
sufficient numbers. Contracts have already
been made with several thousand men about
one-quarter Of the whole number being mar.
| ried) to 90 TO six different States, and as many
can be obtained as are needed.
The rate Of wages is fixed at from So 10 SlJ
I per month. By the terms Of the contract, il /.
evident that the Southern planters will now
/ be able 10 raise their cotton, sugar and rice
not only without negro labor, but al much less
cost than they formerly did with slave labor
/ This viii be the ultimate solution Of the labor
! question at the South. The AbOlitiOniSts
4 brought about the war in order to deprive the
southern people of Kind of labor that was
J beneficial To both laborers and masters. They
\ accomplished their object. In doing so, they
inflicted great temporary loss upon the South
ern people, as they will be compelled, for some
I years, 10 support not only themselves and their
white laborers. but also four millions of non.
I producing black paupers. But. IN the end,
the result will be the total extinction Of the
race for whose fancied benefit the war was
brought about. The mortality among the me-
grOes commenced in earnest about two years
ago, has been proceeding ever since with i'm.
creased velocity. This winter II will he ter
rible. Next summer there will not be three
millions Of negroes left alive i'm all the South,
and in few years they will be entirely extinct
/ such will be the fruits Of a war waged in the
/ interests Of Abolitoni>m. The time will come
nor l. il far distant. when the great crime COM
mitted by the AbolitionistS, i'm depriving the
negroes Of their comfortable and happy home.
and kind masters, will be made 80 manifest
! that they will be eXccratcd not only by their
wretched victims, but 10y an enlightened " orld
