nent the death Of kind husband aad devoted

ceptation Of the term and was, and had long
been esteemed, a, pious christian gentleman, a

Probable Destiny of the Sea Island
Lands.

An effort is now being made in Congress to
make valid, for term of three years, the titles
to lands on the Sea Islands given to the Freed
men,. by Gen. SHERMAN, in, December lSGa.
Whether this ncanS three years. from that time
or threo years from now-or tbrsa coaturics-we
are unable to say. The Amendment, TO a Bill
'Enlargiug the Powers of tho Freedmen s Duroau)
confirming tho titles of these lands as aforesaid,
was adopted nitho ScnuteSpn the 10th January.
Everything looks as though this Bill would doubt
less become PAW. II SO, tho Sea Islands, the

into possession of the Frcedmon

We learn that several agents from the
South are at present in. New York for the
express purpose of endeavoring to prevail
upon emigrants, who arrive each week. to
secure homes at. the South. We hope, by
all means, they may succeed in their efforts.
We take the authority of several planters,
with whom We have conversed on the subject,
that it is the desire Of a majority of that class
of the citizens of South Carolina to give the
system Of white labor an impartial and ex-
tended trial. Something must be done to
secure white laborers, in, case the freedmeu's
contract system should prove unsuccessful.
The lands of the State must be cultivated.
Cotton must be raised and brought to mar
ket before our people can hope to realize
sufficient means to enable them to place af-
fairs in aprosperous condition. The result
of tho present crop depends almost wholly
on the willingness of the freedmen to labor
through the season. By early fall we shall
be able to Judge more accurately of the value
of the system under which the plantations
are now worked.-Char. Courier.
