The leading commercial and manufac-
turing men in the North must look with
considerable solicitude at the anticipated
consummation Of abolition triumph in
those States whose peculiar products
have made the United States one of the
first commercial and manufacturing ma
tons of modern times. The probable
amount of cotton and rice which will be
raised by free labor is most interesting
question to solve. At best, it is not GER
tain that voluntary negro labor will equal
tho amount produced by slave labor
Experiments in other countries are not
encouraging. St. Domingo and Jamaica
ore calculated to beget certain degree
of dependency. There. is possibility
that the newly-emancipated Africans
may be Of opinion that they have worked
enough all their lives, and that the time
has come for rest and recreation. We
do not know that we have any right to
an opinion on the subject, but We have
sometimes suspected or imagined'that
there is lack of energy and enterprise
in the African constitution, taken as =
whole, and that, with occasional excep~
tons, it prefers = contemplative to an
active life. If it should turn out that,
after becoming free, they will work no
more than is n eoessary to supply the
few wants of m IN in fertile country,
il would be = sad trial to the CONNER
cial and manufacturing interests. The

The New York Tribune publishes a
long report, read by H. w. Beecher to
his congregation, of meeting between
Hon. E. NJ. Stanton, United States Secre.
tary of War, and Genera! Sherman, on
the one part, land a number of colored
class leaders, deacons and divines, on
the other This latter body chose
Garrison Frazier, colored gentleman"
to make answer to the inquiries Of the
white men touching the ideas of war, of
the rebels, and of the United States Co.
vernment, prevalent among the colored
population of the South. The report is
manufactured with little ingenuity, the
language put in the mouths of the
African interlocutors being quite equal
in correctness and appropriateness to
any which Mr.. Bcecher himself could en-
ploy. OF course the sentiments ex-
pressed an opposition to slavery and to
the rebel Government, and warm friend
ship to the United States. Being asked
in what manner they would rather
live,-whether scattered amohg the
whites, or in colonies by themselves
the reply was that they would prefer to
live by them selves. Being asked what
would be the effect if the rebel leaders
were to arm the slaves, the reply was
that, in their opinion, "they would
fight as long as they were before the
bayonet, and just as soon as they could
get away they would DESERT" which is
what white men sometimes do. They
were not asked-at least there is no re-
cord of it-whether, if offered thei'
freedom and q home, they would 'be
faithful. 1t is not likely that such
shrewd interrogators as Stanton apd
Sherman could have overlooked such
question, and perhaps he got an answer
which it is not thought advisable topub
lish. Being. asked what was the under
standing of the colored. people OF th'
mode Of enlistment in the rebel States
by State agents, under tho act OF th'
Federal Congress, the reply was, tha
eolored persons enlisted by State agents
are enlisted as substitutes, and CIV
credit to the States, and do not swell tn
army, because every black man enlistet

sion of Poland to compensate for the
aversionpf Ruropes 1t has not added
to the strength Of the empire nor its
prosperity. In peace, it was always ne.
ccssary to keep large army in Poland.
1t has always been garrisoned and occu~
pied as hostile territory.
Poor and disseminated, the history Of
the connection of Poland with Russia is
ono unvarying record of calamity to both
nations. Contact, as rulers, with a mQDe
civilized people than themselves seems
only to have developed all that is barba-
rous in the Russian character. A people
with any capacity for governing would
have found some better mode Of admins
tration possible than the brute force
which can only destroy what it finds e1-
isting-even its own prosperity. If tka
authority Of Government can only be
maintained by exterminating its subjects,
something higher than the obligations
of treaties is violated. The Russians are
now to Poland what the Turks were to
Hungary. Government, in the ordinary
sense of the word, has ceased to exist
Russia has lost everything that makes
the possession of a territory an advan-
tage. The army it is obliged to keep up
must absorb more than the revenue of
the kingdom. Commerce, agriculture,
every kind of enterprise, is perishing.-
1t would be an incalculable gain to Rus
sia if she abandoned the kingdom of
Poland to itself; to govern it, even by
the sword, against the hostility of the
whole population, is impossible.
If there be science of government.
adds the Times, the Russians seem to be
most deficient in it. That Government
seems to have no principle or expedient
at command except the savage process
of exterminating all opposed to it. The
operation is not so easy as the extermi
nators imagine. The attempt to Rus
sianize Poland has now been carried on
for thirty years, and has ended, so far,
by leaving Russia with nothing in Poland
but its army. The immediate appeal to
force, says tho Times, indicates want
of tho high qualities Of craftsmanship
Governments were made for men; but
the Russian idea is that man was made
for the Government, and that the human
race must be exterminated rather than
its peculiar sy stem should be modified
or abandoned.

are given or promised by State agents
than are given by the States. The great
object should be to push through this
rebellion the 'shortest way, and there
seems to be something wanting in the
enlistment by State agents, for it does not
strengthen the army, but takes one aYay
for every colored man enlisted.
"EIeeenth:: State what in your opin-
ion, is the best way to enlist colored men
for soldiers.
"Ans~er:: l think, sir, that all COM
pulsory operations should be put stop
to. The ministers would talk to them,
and the young men would enlist. 1t is
my opinion that it would be far better
for the State agents to stay at home, and
the enlistments to be made for the United
States under the direction of General
Sherman"
General Sherman having retired, the
question was asked: "What is the feel
ing Of the colored people in regard to
General Sherman; and how far do they
regard his sentiments and actions as
friendly to their rights and interests, or
otherwise 2"
."Ans'oer: We looked upon General
Sherman, prior to his arrival, as man, in
the providence Of God, specially set apart
to accomplish this work, and we unani.
mously feel inexpressible gratitude to
him, looking upon him as a man that
should be honored for the faithful per-
formance of his duty. Some. of US called
upon him Immediately upon his arrival
and it is probable he would not meet the
Secretary with more courtesy than he
met us. His conduct and department
toward us characterized him as friend
and gentleman. We have confidence
in General Sherman, and think that
what concerns us could not be under
better hands. This is our opinion now
from the short acquaintance and interest
we have had. (Mr. Lynch states that,
with his limited acquaintance with Ge.
neral Sherman, he is unwilling to express
an opinion. All others present declare
their agreement with Mr.. Frazier about
General Sherman.)"
This is the substance Of the long re-
port read by Mr.. Beechcr in support Of
the right of the black man to universal
suffrage. lie stated that tho document
WAS o ~erbutin. photographic report ol
the questions that were put and the an
swers elected. But for that statement
there ight be some doubt about the
"rerbatim" part Of the business.

"The negroes may be an inferior race up North,
but not down here by good deal"
So says the Charleston correspondent
of the New York TriJune. What has
made the difference Why is it that
those who have been trained in the
school of freedom are inferior to those
who have been trained in the school ol
slavery?

GOTERNOR HANCE'S ADDRESS
TO TIE PEOPLE OF NORTH
uADnYYNI

tAkOLlNA.
The following is the patriotic address
of Governor Vance TO the people Of
North Carolina, which has been mem
toned bv telegraph:
Fellow. citizens,-The necessities Of
our country, as represented by our Con-
fedcrate authorities, impels me again to
appeal to your generosity.
You are aware that, in consequence OF
interruption to our railroad c0mmunica-
tons by recent movements Of the enemy,
the subsistence of General Lees army
has become greatly jeopardized. For at
least few months that army Will have
to.rely for subsistence upon North Ca-
rolina and Virginia alone. am informed
by the Commissary Department that the
usual methods of collecting eupplies will
be insufficient for the purpose.
In reference to this point, need only
cite the authority of General Lee HIM
self. who writes as follows in regard tos
similar appeal to the people Of Virginia:
81 cannot permit myself 20 douot tnAt
the people will respond to 1t, when they
reflect upon the alternative presented to
them. They have simply to choose
whether they will contribute such com"
missary and qusrtermaster stores ~ they
can possibly spare to support an army
wiich has already borne and done 30
much in their behalf. or, retaining their
stores, maintain tho army Of tho enemy
engaged in their subjugation. I am
aware that . general obligation Of this
nature rests lightly on most men-eseh
being disposed to leave its discha!ge %
his neighbor am confident that
our citizens will appreciate theirrespousi.
b;lity in the case, and win not permit
an army. which, by Gods blessing End
their patriotic support, has hithsrto ~
sisted the efforts Of the enemy, 70 suRes

II seems, therefore, that our oil do
nends upon the voluntary action Of the
nconle Of North Carolins and Vifginis |;
and trusting that Whatever yep havo p
