PROPOSED WITHDRAWAL OF BELLIGEREN1
Rights FROM TIE REBELs.-1n thethe House
of Commons on the llth lust. the question
as to whether the governments had resolved
to withdraw beligencnt rights from the South
of which notice had been given by MIR. White
was not put.
The London Star assumes from Mr.. White
having been requested to postpone his ques-
ton that the question is une rthe considera-
ton Of the Cabinet, and observes =" Though
the withdrawal of belligerent rights is no
mere sentimental action, it would have the
effect Of shutting the Australian ports to the
Shenandoah, and those ofthe West Indies to
the Stonewall, the only two privateers now
aiost.. Tt would tend to expedite the period
when the government of the Union will raise
the blockade and permit free intercourse
with the Southern States"
The London Post, in an editorial on the
same subject, says &c Mr. White postponed
bis question in the absence of Lord Palmer
ston; but it is unquestionably one to which
an answer must be speedy given" The
Post also So" 1t is impossible to avoid
the conclusion that the Confederate govern
ment has ceased to exist. The South ceases
to be belligerent when it no longer
possesses the means of prosecuting the war;
and as it has already made admission TO
that effect in the original convention between
johnson and Sherman, no cause for complaint
will be given if neutral Powers endorse the
confession"

FREEDMEN's BUREAU,
Washin yton, u. c., Nav l6, 1865.


In accordance with General Orders Of the
War Department No. 81, enter Immediately
upon the duties of Commissioner Of Refu-
gees. Freedmen and Abandoned Lands. The
bureau contemplated in the order will be To-
Gated at the corner of | and Nineteenth
streets. All commissioners, however appoint.
ed who have charge OF freedmen, are reqnes-
ted to make report as soon as possible Of the
character and extent OF their work. The
commissioners or superintendents In Virgi.
ria, So. Carolina and Louisiana are requested
to report direct to me tho amount of land
they may have under supervision for theIf
USE. The department commanders in the
iHsurreclionary States will do me the favor
Of transmitting a copy Of the different orders
issued by themselves or by their, district
commanders relating to the government aud
employment of freedmen. While it shall be
my object 10 secure as much uniformity as
possible in the matter Of employment and in
struction of freedmen, earnestly solicit CO.
operation from all officers and agents whose
position or duty readers it possible for them
to aid me. The negro should understand
hat be is really free, but oa 10 account, if
able to work, sho1id lie harbor the thought
that the government will support him in Idle.
ness. 90. HOWARD, Maj. Gen.,
Commissioner of Freedmens Bureau.
General Howard, as chief Of this impor
tant bureau, is the head Of three and half
millions of men. He holds q most important
position, and we believe thatit was very
wise selection that put him there. He is a
man of ability, cminently practical and
! thoroughly conscientious. He stands in the
position 10 influence an immense amount Of
human happiness Or misery.
1t is wise to impress upon the negro very
distinctly that he cannot liVein idleness, and
it is geod Tor all to agree that he must de-
uend upon his labor. But it is not enough
to do this. We do not believe that the negro
appreciates the necessity that he should labor
or that he can be induced very easily to 60
on with the same life that he has hitherto
led, seeing practically but little difference be
tween the slavery he hated and the Liberty
he longed for. 1t will not do to tell him that
he must.
1t will need the calmest judgment and tEe
incest discretion to devise u system oil labor
or apprenticeship that shall encourage The
negro TO labor and the white man 10 employ
him. Upon the wsdcm with such a system
is adapted to the wants Of the cases it vii
entirely depend whether or no the South shal
become desolate wilderness and the negro
race great national difficulty. The abso
lutte natural extcrminaiion Of the race, too
depends upon this; and this, therefore, is th
real field of labor for all those pbilanthrop
lists who have cried out for justice to th
negro.

From the N. Y. Herald.
What Shall be Done with the Negroes

| What Shall be Done with the Negroes
At the commencement of the war there
were in the Southern States, in round mum
bers, four millions of slaves. Various esti
mates have been made of the number destroy
ed by the war. 1t is quite safe to put the
reduction by. death at half million. Per
haps the natural increase will balance the
number that has made its way out OF the
country: and we, thus have left in the South
ern States three and half millions OF per-
soas BORN and broughtup in slavery that have
sudderly become free. Unquestionably it is
| true of the mass of these that they have nc
appreciation of the finer ideas Of freedom that
| would render the state of slavery intoerablc
to men of more intellect. Slavery is TO them
oaly compulsory labor; freedom is rest from
that labor and the right to do Gas you like; =
that is, to labor or not. Thatis their simple,
single, obvious idea.
Labor is at the same time the prime neces-
sitv of the country that these men are in. 1t
is an immense domain, that under proper
system will produce richer crops than the
world ever saw produced from any given
country. 1t is able to support all the laboE
necessary for lis development, and to give IN
addition crop that will belitLle the'rches OF
oriental story. Under the worst system Of
labor ever known, the same country suppor-'
ted population OF twelve millions, and had.
an accumulated wealth that enabled it to.
carry on four years one OF tie most gigan'
tic wars in history, There is no runlry in
Europe so rich, Germany, Italy, France,
Great Britain are poor to it in natural pos
sbility. What, then, may not be the result
of the development of this district unde:
proper system of labora But can that sys-.
tenn be SO arranged as to solve the difficult
question what's to become of the negro ?
Certainly it ought to be.
There is the land in need of labor, and
the owners Of it propose even TO import Ia.
Dor, considering that otherwise theylo the
land; but there on the spot is the labor, and
it is great problem what we shall, do with
it. How can we arrange in that these two
shall be complementary each other? 1t
seems easy enough to answer that The land
must support the labor, and that the negro
must earn his own bread. It. is true, too,
and is the obvious view taken by all. Henry
Highland Garnett, who wrote US a letter on
the subject tie other day, says the negro ap-
precated this. President johnson tried 10
impress his colored visitors, some days age.
with the fact that work was the real solution
of the negro question. And General How
ard, as this letter shows, takes the same
view :

DR1vIxG OUT DARKlEs.-Col. White, our
Provost Marshal, had detail of sixty men
yesterday patreliDg the. city,, arresting and
sending off all negroes who have come here
since the Union soldiers occupied. the town.
We understand that the order Will be enforced
to the very letter. and that every negro found
who did not live here before the 20tho of April,
and who do not belong to Macon, will be sent
back to their former homes, This is very
sensible, timely and judicious order--one that
will meet With universal appreciation by our
citizens and soldiers. Since the capture of
Macon, they have been swarming around the
streets, alleys and kitchens like aies around
a sugar barreL without anything to eat e1.
cept what they could beg OF steal, and with.
out any work to do. But this. order will send
them back to the plantations where the crops
are in the grass, and where they can make
contracts with their former masters, by which
plenty of provisions be raised for all hands
aretssIn all cases where they cannot be
sent 10 the country, they had better. be put
to work on the railroads:-Aaeon Telegraph.
