This class is; almost, too insignificant i
numbers to attract attention, and Il
mistake made by soma of the leading me-
here is the imp ortsnce which they, lend
by violent announcement of its member
but for this it would die Of inequality an
want Of support. The slaves having bee
made free were it not for the continul
fuss made over it, with few exceptions, II
people would feel very sore-headed owe
the lost of their slaves. y bsir..o-
Once in 8 while man is found who say
he is glad that they are free, but notwith
standing their reluctance in giving up thei
property they submit gracefully and q
soon as it Is understood that free labori
more profitable than slave they will on
and all be rejoiced. They are fast coming
to this conclusion, and 1 venture the asser

Carolina all right on the negro. A radics
change cannot beexpected in enc day anC
this sudden abolition of the customs of gen
erstions has produced s shock from which
it will take time to recover.
As an instance of the increase of kindly
feeling towards the freedmen, Colonel
Whittlesey, Superintendent for this State
of General HoWsrd's. Bureau, received sp-
plications from several different parties
citizens of the State--for assistance in
securing the labor of several hundred hard
workmen for farms and plantations in
Edgerton and other counties. The gentle
men interested in these movements are
shrewd, far-seeing business men, who ap-
preciate the fact that the labor of the freed
men can be obtained very cheap, and,
owing to the impoverished condition of the
State, agricultural products are very Valu-
able. 1t is understood they intend in
augurating the ten-hour system of labor,
and by careful discipline eradicate the
slothfulness engendered in the freedmen by
slavery. a.i s.
THE PRESIDENTS PRIVATE SECRETARY.
The Times Washington special says: 1t
has been circulated. in the West that E.
II. East, prominent lawyer of Tennessee,
was about TO proceed to Washington for
the purpose of accepting the post of Con-
f1entiAl Secretary to President johnson.
Mr.. East was asked by the President to as
sumo those relations with him, and would
have done so but for the sacrifice it would
entail of large and lucrative practice
He has not yet positively declined, but it is
that the President in view of
the circumstances, will not insist on the

came here, to interfere with the duties now
performed by the Presidents Private Sec

Ford's Thester has been completely met
today, The stage box in
which the President was asssssinated has

THE "a RIE
The Herald says the state of affairs In
with the cable has led to an
advance Of insurance premium from twsn-
.y-fVe guineas to sixty guiness
There is very anxious feeling in the
city and elsewhere with regard to the
of the cable.
Up to Wednesday, the 2lethe signals
we're singularly distinct. The Great East
srn was nearly two-thirds of the way to
Newfoundland. 1t was at this time that
ignsls to Valentia became. unintelligible,

The Times infers that the disaster oc-
,urred after the cable had left the vessel
rom the fact that those on board were sig
lsling as usual when their messages be-
anne unintelligible. er .s,
The work of repairing could not be &C
at the rate of more than one
luarter of a mile per hour, which a hesd
ca would check. For this, the Great
Eastern amply provided. She has several
'uoys on board, equal altogether to a
weight of fifty tons, and has at least five
niles of powerful wire buoy rope which
an support all that the bdoys themselves
sn fost. This effort to buoy, however,
will not be resorted to till the last extrem.
