GEN. wRIGHT's DEFEAT In THE
VALLEY

Gen. wRIeHr's disgraceful defeat in the
Valley Of the Shenandoah, from which the
peerless SHERIDAN snatched the laurels Of his
most brilliant victory. is accounted for by
disti nguishcd officers who were in both bat
ties in way that will startle the country
when all the facts come to be known. If our
information is correct, and we have the au.
thority to use names IL we desire SO to do,
the public will concur with us in the opinion
that an outrage has been committed in per-
mitting a certain General to disgrace for so
long time the Federal uniform by being
allowed to wear 1t. The defeat of WRIeHr
will be the subject Of official Investigation.
But for the timely appearance on the field
of the dauntless SHERIDAN, who rallied the
retroating and broken columns Of the Union
army, and hurled it precepitatoly against
JUBTLANr EARLY's rebel horde, killing and
wounding and routing it in utter confusion,
GRANTS whole programme would have been
changed for the want of the very service
rendered in the crushing aud destroying of
EARLY, and consequently the war would
probably have been prolonged for months.

tion, are all cultivated by free men. There
Is not single slave in the valley Of Cusrna-
vaca or In the environs Of orizaba and Cor.
dova, which are the great mArts for sugar
and coffee. The whole labor is performed
there by Indians and mixed breeds, and q
want Of hands is seldom or never known"
The history of Mexico well illustrates how
easily all the concomitsnts Of slavery pass
away, wherever that devilish institution dis
appears before the march Of advancing eivili-
zation, and how slight hold that great bug
bear, the assumed-to.be inborn sntipathy Of
races, really has upon the mind of man.
We cannot forbear to quote from Mr..
WARD a paragraph Of interest in relation to
the free labor experiment:
"one hundred and ffty slaves are en-
ployed, in the island Of Cuba, upon planta.
tion capable Of producing one thousand cases
or sixteen thousand arrobas Of sugar, (Utde
Humboldt eSSai PoiitigHe sUr rHe de Cnbo, }
while in the valley Of Cuantla one hundred
and fifty free laborers were formerly sufficient
for q hacienda which yields from thirty-two
to forty thousand arrobas. Thus, (supposing
the expense In other respects to be the same,
in the one case the produce Of each indi-
vidual would be 1855 pounds and In the
other s, 332 pounds, or even 6,666 pounds,
taking the maximum Of 10000 arrobas."
Aud It is to be remembered that the con.
ditions of soil and climate are substantially
the same; and, Furthermore, that the old
Spanish proprietors, who possessed nearly all
the capital, and who assumed, as the "su-
prome race" to possess all the intelligence
and business capacity, had, in consequence
of the revolution, emigrated to other lands,
abandoning everything they could not sell,
just as some Of the disappointed fanatics Of
the South are now doing, or proposing to do.
These withdrawn, all other classes worked
together necessarily for the common good,
and the superiority of free over slave labor
was demonstrated by actual experiment.

posed for attaining it are moral and pea ceful.
"We disclaim the remOtest intention of
enforcing our claim by violence, and if any
one should suggest insurrectiOn, We would
frown upon him and denounce him."
The address closes as follows:
1--WE do pledge ourselves to maintain good
order, and our arms and lives, if necessary
are at the service Of the Government to queil
and crush insurrection; and having done
this, we shall demand of the lawful authority

Freedmen's Affairs In Tennessee.

Gen. o. o. HOWARD this morning received
communication from a planter in Tennes-
see in regard to an experiment he is trying
as to the relative value of freedmen's and
white labor. He states that on plantation
in that State he has employed about 400
freedmen, and he writes under the impression
that he could have obtained /, 200 freedmen
on the same terms-that Of giving them q
certain percentage on the cotton crop and q
small plat of land to cultivate for their indi =
vidual use. When Gen. HOWARD was in
Tennessee this gentleman had lengthy inter.
views with him, and in his last letter says he
will advise the General as to the results from
time to time.

MExICO-THE EXPERIMENTS OF
FREE AND SLAVE LABOR.


The recent history Of Mexico may well
challenge the attention of the people of the
United States, not only because of the deli
cate questions Of international policy and
comfy which our relations with that country
present, but on account Of the very profitable
lessons it may teach us-prOftable in view Of
the problems presented by the revolution in
the social system of the Southern States. 1t
had been made part of the colonial policy
Of Spain to foster with extraordinary assidu-
ity the spirit Of caste, to embitter to the
greatest possible degree the hatreds which
had sprung up between the different races.
By this means the power and wealth of the
dependency were maintained in the hands Of
a"superior race'-the European. born Span
lard. Slavery existed in all its hideousness;
amalgamation had been the rule, and the ma
tives Of tho country were q new and mixed
race, among whom tho incest distinctions
and subdivisions Of caste were carefully kept
up. He upon whom suspicion fell, in respect
TO purity Of blood, procured from n tribunal
the decree que SC teuga pOr bLaneO'' ''-"let
him pass for white" Such was the condition
of affairs in 1903, when CONNIE need the series
Of events, which soon brought all shades and
all classes Of the native population together,
and united them in a common band to free
their country from the dominion of the
European-born Spaniards. Forgetful for the
moment that they too were the descendants of
CoRrEE and the conquerors, they invoked
the name Of MonteEuma, and before watch.
words which spoke of home, and of country,
all differences disappeared. In the tumult
of events which followed, slavery substan.
TALLY disappeared, and the formal prohibi-
tion, which afterwards found place in the
laws, was merely a burial Of the dead.

fore disappeared; the system Of slavery had
fallen by its own weight and when Great
Britain demanded its formal abolition as the
sins qua non condition of her friendly inter
course, that condition was performed with

"HowoVsF the question of free labor may

Proceedings ofthe Maryland State Col.
ored Convention.

BALTIMORE, Dec. 29-The State Colored
Convention met here to-day, and passed res
olutions to solicit aid to rebuild the seven
colored churches burned in the State by
rebels and malicious persons.
Resolutions in regard to the death of Pres
ident Lincoln were also passed, including the
following:
Be 1t TcsOlred, That the exalted public and
private character of the late President, his
freedom from selfish ambition, his fear of
God, his devotion to the eternal principles of
liberty and justice, his unsurpassed wisdom
and magnanimity, which he eyinced in car
rying out the principles of republican gov
ernment, will cause his memory to be cher
ished with love and reverence by us, us q
people, until the end of time.
An advisory address to the colored citizens
Of Maryland was adopted, containing the
following judicious advice:
1st. We would therefore advise you to feel
selves for support.
I'd. We would advise you to become ofvir-
tuous habits, disdaining to do anything be-
meath the dignity of men.
Sd. We advise you to be industrious in all
the pursuits of life; purchase property and
become men Of wealth, owning soil, for there
are no class Of men so independent as
farmers.
4th. We advise you to educate your chill
dren, give them trades, and thereby qualify
them for any position in life for if ever we
are raised to that elevated summit in life for
which we are striving, it must be done by
our individual exertiOns; no one can do it
for us.
5th We advise you to use every exer tion
to falsify the predictions of your enemies,
which were uttered previous to emancipa tion
by the States, that if the slaves were freed
they would become a pest of society and
paupers and dependents on public charities.

IT SEEMS that ex.Gov. Isham G. Harris, Of

worse, in stating that recently he had an in

Mexico at the imperial palace-"the far

statement, wns obliged to employ lady as

ropean officers, for the purpose Of repelling
the invasion Of the tribe of bnrbarians known
as the Taepings. This force was for the de.
