JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Aug. TO- 1865.
Nothing can prevent the happy and speedy
restoration of civil government in the late rebeous
States but the corruption of the people by political
demagogues When the ended, by the surrender
of the Rebel armies, the people promptly acquieced In
the cessation OF hostilties and the Abolition OF Slavery
The vicious dogmas Of the right of secession and State
Sovereignty also went by the board. The masses at
least in Florida melted wax ready aud anxious
to receive a impression, and be made homogeneous
with the loyal States. Not soul could be found That
did not welcome peace. and hence guerrilla warfare
has been unknown among US. Could Provisional Coy
errors Of the right stamp have been promptly ap-
pointed 70 all the States and new State Governments

issue of the Uar great difficulties would have been ex.
perenced But during the last four months polite

might be continued with all its dependence ignorance
and degradation The practice with many has been to
make the negro labor; but on such terms that the en-
ployer would receive all the benefit thereof 1t is noo
ous that in this State but few of the white people have
commenced labor since the aud that large numbers
until recently have subssted Government -atons,
but the wekIn has been made to ring with complaints
that the colored people will not work The fact is had
not the freedmen labored but little would have been
done to produce harvest, and the coming Winter
would have been a season Of hunger and suffering.
Many of the statements made in regard 10 the idleness
of the negro gross exaggeraons, and are made for
purpose. The object is to compe. Government TO insti

future government Of the black and reduce him M

1t is refreshing 10 hear some people talk on this subject
They seem unconscious Of the that these freedmen
are men; that the Government recognizes them as ct
zens that their personal rights and interests
well founded and as sacred their own. and that on
that principle all future legislation is to be based The
idea still; adhered TO- that God made the negro for the
pleasure and accommodation of the white man. No in
tecst is expected in his good conduct on his oHn &C.
counts but all the socitude mas reference to the bearing
his action has upon the finances of his late master In
such minds not the least moral humane impression
has been wrought in connection with emancipation.
The maxim that 1.-THE African has rights the white
man is bonnd respect" Ia stil believed. Emancipa

to have upon the interests Of the white man.
In no way are the negro's manhood and rights re-
cognized and bat seldom does be hear the expression
of wish for his elevation welfare. Such the
circumstances and the influence surrounding the Freed
men, and they understand them we'll They have learned
too. something Of their own rights and privileges
and it is not strange that such employees often dad

It is easy see tat their thoughts are fixed upon
