Haefs Hampton oss Pest astd Future
0gtIle Negro.

General Wade Hampton, the famous
rebel cavalry leader, has been making
q speech in Which he took occasion to
drop some wise suggestions as to the
proper treatment of the freedmen. We
copy:
Of all the Inconsistencies OF which the
North has been guiity-and their name
is legion-none is greater than that by
which SIZE forced the Southern States,
While rigidy excluding them from the
Union, to ratify the Constitutional
amendment abolishing slavery, which
they could do legally only as States OF
the Union. But the deed has been done,
and [, for one. do honestly declare that
| never wish TO see it revoked. Nor do
| believe that the people of the South
would now remand the negro to slavery
if they had the power to do SO unques-
toned. Under our paternaE care, from
mere handful he grew to be q mighty
host. lie came TO Us a sleathen; we
made him a Christian. Idle, vicious,
savage in his own country; in ours he
became industrious, gentle, civilized.
Let this history as slave be compared
hereafter with that which he will make
for himself as free man, and by the
result OF that comparison we are willing
to be judged. 4 great responsibility is
lifted from our shoulders by this eman-
eipation, and we willingly commit his
destiny TO his own hands, hoping that
he may prove himself worthy Of the
neW position in which he has been
placed. AS a slave he was faithful to
Us; as a freeman, let us treat him as a
friend. Deal with him frankly, Justly.

equal in interest and extent to that of
almost any other-asld facts abundantly
show, that those Who have wisely and
diligently entered upon such enquiry,
and applied faithfully its results in the
culture OF their farms, are, in regard to
the fruits of their labors, far in advance
of those who still blindiy follow the
dogmas of tradition, and wear out life
in mere ill-directed labor. Some of the
most productive, profitable and attrae-
tive farms now to be found in our
country were but a few years since,
among the most uninviting spots for
agricultural purposes that the eye Of
the farmer could rest upor-but in
dustry, energy and skill, guided by the
light Of science, have made them among
the garden spots of the earth. At the
present day, there is no excuse for the
American farmer, whose labors are not
wisely guided-for the sources of knoWl-
edge are everywhere open to him,
through the Press, in courses Of lectures
on agricultural science, and at aericultu-
raj schools and colleges established over
the land.

scheme of Christian henevolence open

\ missionary to Africa recently wrote
to the .ifr;caa Repository as follows, re-
specting the capacity and prospects OF

As the Republic of Liberia, eiviliy,
and socially. is miniature picture of

found myself. in the midst of the seve-
raj denominations, among those who
acted toward me as an old friend and
acquaintance iustreturning home, whose
fraternal and Christian intercourse was
of the most pleasant character. Under
the auspices and aid of the several de-
nominations of this country, education
receives q GOOD share OF attention and
patronage.
It will suffice TO say, that. so far as the
soil concerns the emigrant, he will have,
in point of fertility, the equal OF any OF
our river bottoms. Eight Or ten miles
up the st. Pau's, | saw sugar-cane, on
the place of Mr.. Young, matured from
eight to ten joints, and still In thriving
condition. This farmer, | think, raised
his own sugar, corn, sugar-eane, yams,
potatoes, rice. peas, arrow root. coffee !;
besides which, cassada, bananas, plan
tains, oranges, sour-sop," with many
other tropical fruits, may be successfully
and proftahly grown by any industrious
| farmer.
Coffee Of a very superior flavor, equal
to the Java or Laguayra, thrives well.
On the st. Johns river, at BeXley, in
Bassa county, | saw one or two beautiful
orchards. 1t seemed to me the culti-
walton Of the coffee tree would furnish a
most delightful avoeation.
The climate of Africa is the foe to the
white man. The experiment has been
repeatedly made, to his discontinue, as
! if by the finger of Providence to point
out the means by which that benighted
land may be lifted from the gulf OF
darkness and despair. Africa is en-
phatically the home Of the black man.
! There the millions of this country will
finally rest from their servitude, in
bearing back to their own race, whence
they came, the civilization and religion
which have blessed them here, and will
bless and elevate millions of their pro-
geny vet unborn.

from Charleston, South Carolina, on the

be- first-rate company of people, and

proportion of the emigrants are pro-

MINERAL RESOURCES OF COLORADO.
Ex-Governor Evans, Of Colorado, nov,

Ex-Governor Evans, Of Colorado, nov,
Senator from that state. in a recent adj
dress before the Chicago Board Of Trade,
made the following extraordinary state
ment concerning the natural resources
OF that region:
" But to give you some idea Of its
Immediate future increase and import
ance, | will state q few facts with which
| am personally acquainted as to the
natural resources Of the country. Lying
along the great GoraeriIias or snowy
range. which divides the waters OF the
Atlantic from those OF the Pacific Ocean,
directly west Of Denver City, extending
from near the base Of Longs Peak in a
southerly direction for over two hum
dred miles In Colorado, is what believe
to be the most extensive and richest
mineral belt of country in the world
From five to fifteen miles wide, for this
vast extent the mountains are literally
gridironed over with gold, silver copper,
and lead bearing lodes, many IF them
known to be Of great extent and ua-
surpassed richness. While many Of
them, OF course, are too narrow or too
poor to pay for working. ! believe that
enough that are extensive and rich have
already been discovered to give profit
able employment to Il million of men.
And the extensive discoveries that have
been made fRe past year assures Of vast
increase in their number in the future. .
AS these statements of Gov. Evans
profess to be based upon explorations
and Investigations Of which he has been
personally cognizant in his official ca
pacity, they are certainly OF character

attention of able-bodied young men who
desire & fortune, and are not afraid to

TIE FARMER,

AS Il general proposition, ii is true,
that labor viii be wisely directed in pro-
portioa Il the Intelligence with which
it is connected. But in no department
Of laher IS this truth more clearly Illus
trated flan i'll farming. The farmer
who is the most familiar With the prin-
ciples OF agricultural science, and with
the best modes Of applying them practi-
cally, is the most successful in his vo-
cation. IL t, 1H;1ds of many farmers,
a strong ssfd ,.i..accountable prejudice
exists against the study and application
Of science to the practice of their useful
art. Without q moments hesitancy,
they will admit that d Physician to be
successful in his practice or entitled to
the cenfidencec CT his patients, must have
thorough knowledge of the laws of
human physioiegy-the rules OF 4aoteaio
s9aedico-the principles of chemistry, &c.

IS mere pretender, quack-tllat the

TIE FRENCH AND MEXICO,

1t seems to be q settled thing at last,
that the entire French forces in Mexico
are TO take their departure from that
hapless country. The French Minister
at Washington has furnished to our
Government the names of fourteen
large transports which are about to sail
from Brest fer Vera Cruz. and which
are to be followed by ten others, for the
purpose Of bearing to France her troops
and military material now in Mexico.
This will relieve the American mind of
all anxiety upon 4 question, which has
occupied lis attention, more CT less
gravely fer four years past. But while
all European rule in Mexico will dis
appear With the troops Of France, who
can tell what is to be the condition Of
Mexico herself. For forty years, she
has beea engaged in series of political
experiments, all of which have proved
miserable failures, and revolution has
become almost her normal condition.
The simple truth Is. the MeXicans are
mongrel ,perverse and besotted race-and
although ii possession Of the richest
treasures Of climate and soil, they have
not virtue enough, personal or political,
for prosperous self-gevernment. They
have had written Constitutions and
laws, with all the forms of free govern
nant like our oWn-hut have never long
respected or adhered to and the
spirit Of change and revolution has tri-
un phed through her entire republican
history. Mexico is IN no better con-
dition for the enjoyment Of free insti-
tutioas now, than heretofofe-and altho
the Republic may be re-established
under Juarez, supported by the auspices
Of our Government. there is no good
reason to lock for continued peace
among her people, or perR1anence in
her Institutions. II she c6ald become
annexed territorialIy to the United
States, so chat the power Of cur Govern
ment could be legally employed in
maintaining erder, and the observance
Of law among her heterogeneous and dis
eofdant population, she might, in time,
be moulded into a form that would TT
her for career Of prosperity and honor
under free government and wise legis-
lation. TO this result, events are now
apparently tending. The present po-
sition o. our Government towards
Mexico is a practical declaration to the
world Of our purpose to protect her
against all European interference. This
will lead to the establishment Of re-
lations, which, in the natural course OF
events, will result IN her absorption
into TIE territory Of the United States.
