New YORK. July 19.-The Herald S
Charleston correspondent says the ma
iority OF the South Carolina planters,
though so recently the most uncompro-
missing advocates of slavery, have already
begun to look on emancipation as really
benefit to them, and are inclined to the
opinion that compensated labor will in
the end be far more profitable and salts
factory to the land owners of that State
generally.
All the principal South Carolina crops,
excepting rice, are represented as yield
ing abundautly this year. Rice cultiva
tion has been much neglected, owing to
the disorganization and confusion luci-
dent to the change from the slave to the
free labor system.
There is considerable i'll feeling in
Charleston between the soldiers and the
citizens, and there have recently been
some breaches Of the peace, in which the
colored people of the city, as well as the
colored troops, have been mixed up
General Bennett, post commandant, has
consequently found it necessary to issue
especial orders of pretty stringent
character, requiring all citizens to dellV-
er mp fire arms in their possession, to re-
fran from assemblages and noisy demon,
strations in the streets, and remain at
their homes after eight in the evening.
The soldiers are also reminded of their
duties and warned against the perpetra-
ton of any outrages or the exhibition of
discourteSy TO the people.
The Herald's Fortress Monroe cores
pondent says the health of jeff. Davis is
said to have been failing rapidly OF late,
though he is supplied with plenty OF
fresh air, good food and such opportunl-
ties for exercise as the contracted limits
of a Fortress Monroe casemate Will
permit. Within few days he has
without any apparent cause become I'M
usually detected, and it is surmised that
the depression of spirit has been caused
by some one having conveyed to HIM IN
tclligence of the execution OF the asSaS-
sination conspirators. 1t said that one
of his ewes is almost blind, and that the
other gives indications of soon being so.
The only reading matter allowed him is
the Bible, to the perusal of which he de-
votes considerable time, and he is not
permitted to write or receive any letters.

THE NEGRO VS.. WHITE LABOR.
In addition to this question of capital
there is another great source Of trouble
in all efforts to quiet down the minds OF
the people and direct their attention to
the pursuits of peace, and that is the
change in our system of labor. The ne
groes, freed as it were at stroke, natur-
ally feel rude sort of joy, which they
wish to test by idleness, and in proper
tion to the absence Of all compulsiOn to
labor, estimate the degree of their free
dom. Apart from idleness, there Is no
other evil, apparently resulting from
emancipation for i'll all respects the ne
gro as a freedman behaves himself, in
general, better than could have been ex-
pected from any race, thus suddenly ele-
waited from slavery But the inclination
to abstain from work, to travel around,
dress finely, or loaf in the sun, about the
water and wharves, with fishing pole in
hand, nodding till some gudgeon takes
the bait, are luXuries too entlcing for
Cuffee to resist, and devote himself to
healthy labor, that will make him sweat
as he used to do in old days of tobacco
factories AS house servants, also, there
are many drawbacks to the negro's use
fulness, which disorganizes every house
hold and upturns the domestic arrange
ments of every family in the city. The
demand for white servants is very great,
so great, indeed that all housekeepers
would be glad of the establishment OF
some sort of agency in your city, or the
cities further north, which would be IN
strumental in furnishing them with
trained servants, foreign or domestic,
who would find good homes and good
pay, amongst liberal people.
Indeed the anxiety of the people of
Virginia to build up their broken for
tuues, to prosper and revivify stagnant
industrial pursuits, and send the old
State on her way rejoicing, with expand
ing population and enterprise, is so great
that they are canvaSsing every means
for encouraging emigration and turning
the attention of capitalists to the wealth
of her resoOrces The vast water power
of Richmond alone should designate it as
the seat of a perfect hive of human indus
try, while the mineral resources and az
ricultural fertility of the valleys afford
golden opportunities for the investment
of capital. Unable to develop these
sources of wealth themselves, the people
are anxiously looking towards Europe,
whittier they think of sending lecturers
and agents to stimulate emigration, and
build up the future prosperity of the
country y.

EMIGRATIONJ

Idleneness is sure to bring discomfort,
aud in the wake of this evil will surely
follow greater evils and dreadful results
Want of employment here leads
many who are not vicious, and who
would otherwise settle down into being
the hest citizens, to think seriously of
emigration. Many. it is understood, are
about to avail themselves of the alluring
inducements ef land and governmental
labor offered by the Empire of Brazil to
anglo Saxon emigrants These people
never would think of leaving Virginia if
they could find the facilities for employ
ment of their energies and enterprise
amongst their kindred and countrymen
they will all tell you so, and all assert
that necessity alone inclines them TO
wander.
INDUCEMENTS OFFERED BY BRAZIL.
The Brazilian Government offers COO
acres OF fertile land, with supply of la
Dor, under certain regulations, for every
single man who will obligate himself to
remain two years in the Empire, aud to
married men the inducements are doub-
led. This certain ' of future employ
ment and pecuniary indepenence, will
operate strongly upon very many of the
best men of the whole South, who
now feel so heavily the pressure of
restricted action, A wise and generous
policy in this particular would avert a
great evil, and convert them all into
good citizens and staunch supporters OF
