that they had but few hands employees on tle

Of Columbia.

FIELD LABOR IN VIRGINIA.

The Assistant Superintendent Of Freedmen 8
Affairs in Chesterfield county, Va, says Of the
condition OF labor in that section, in his report
to the Assistant Commissioner, that there
seems to be a general willingness 70 labor, but
an almost universal scarcity OF money. The
owners OF plantations in the county are oils.
posed to hold them intact, and 50 render them
selves unable to pay the laborers their wages
monthly. To this is to be attributed the indis.
position Of the fl eedmen to make contracts for
the year. There is much complaint from the
country on account Of the non payment of
wages. This dificulty, however, the Super
intendent thinks will be much obviatsd by
the proceeds of the present crop. The sy stem
Of renting land on shares 10 very much adj
vancing the interests Of all concerned, and
seems to establish in the minds Of the freed |.
men a feeling Of independence. as1l s--t s
