CIRCUMSTANCES VERY MATERIALLY ALTnIl
CASES WHITE LABOR WANTED AT THE SOUTH.
Before the late rebellion it was very commors
assertion Of Southerners that Southern fields
could not be titled by white labor, and every
thing was done to discourage Northern emigras
ton. The war appears to have dissipated thl1
among many other fallacies Every encourage.
ment is held out to Northern emigrants, and We
are continually in receipt of letters FROM
Southern planters urging us to advocate the.
emigration to that 'sunny land" Of the "hardys
Mortimer" who were so unwelcome before the.
war; We give a sample Of these letters else
where in the communication from South
Carolina planter, who declares there is conf
slant employment for one thousand Northern
men in Abbeyville district Of that State alone,
and who further adds that the negroes cannot
be depended on. 1t appears, however, from
our Baton Rouge letter, and the communication
of General Wager Swayne, on the same subject,
that the negroes are very willing to work for
yankee planters" though not for thoir former
masters. We imagine that this is the secret Of,
the idleness of the freedmen, and that the pros

Yankees and Yankee energy.

failures to take the Sumter, Gibraltar, Florid6,

was that the necessities Of the blockade
rendered it impossible to spare any number Of
cruisers from home service. But we have no
longer any blockade to maiatain. What is the
