He has gone. our beloved brother
Has left his parent stem
To llurm anew in glory,
And grace II diadcm.
He WAS tired and wrar-
Ola world like this;
God then called him from drcary
Opening wilderness,
To a land of radiant glory,
In II world unknuwn;
There to form another brilliant
In the S;tviDurs crown.
Softly. gently, close the coffin,
Bear the form away
IN the cold and silrut ctrthhcd
Let our beloved brothvr lay
There are footballs in the graveyard
Raised is another mound;
They have laid our brother
In the cold danp ground.
Fond friends and parents. dry the tear
That gstcns in thine eyes,
And learn with gratitude to bc;r
The loss Of another dear tie.
Farewell, our much beloved brother
Most fundy cherished one;
\ We must give thee to Cod whose love
\, Ear exceeds our own.

New YORK, May 12.-The Charleston
Courier of May contains a very inter-
esting collection of intelligence concern
ING the growing crops in the different
Southern States. In these districts we
find accounts, in most respects, highly
gratifying of the conduct of the freed
men, and q hopeful statement OF the

ports, "our planters are applying mem
selves with a diligence which must rs SO,
cure at least, measurable success' Inc
freedmen, too, as a general thing' are
working with a zeal and earnestness
exceeding the expections of our people
AT the beginning of the war.
In Georgia, a correspondent OF the
Maeon Journal and Messenger from Bar,

in this section of our State that has a
full quota of hands. A vast number of
farms are therefore idle. The same
thing can be said of ether portions of
the cotton growing regions of the State.
In middle Georgia, there is great def
cheney of laborers, and these are tamper-
ed with and seduced from their employ
ers for the more fertile lands of
the West or for some other purpose.
leaving large number of planters en-
tirely destitute. An agent of the De-
partment of Agriculture writes to the
same effect. Every planter that can get
labor is putting in all the cotton posi-
ble in hopes of selling at high rates,
and many of them are neglecting corn
preferring to depend upon the North
west for their supplies. The freedmen
have contracted freely with their old
masters as general thing. The higher
rates of wages in Alabama and Missis'
sippi are inducing some of them to dis
card their contracts in Georgia and mi
crate westward to those States.
Also, a correspondent of the Montgom
ery Advertiser, writing from Dale county
under date of April 25th, says; The
freedmen are doing well, there being no
Bureau here to disturb the happy har.
mony existing between employers and
employees. The news reports the freed
men are conducting themselves as a
general thing, in a highly creditable
manner, and we begin to think they ap'
preciate their position and will labor
faithfully under the contracts they have
made. Of Mississippi, the Canton Citi-
zen says: The freedmen are working to
their contracts as a general thing, and
the planters seem cheerful and hopeful.
From Louisiana, we have number OF
reports. The Natheleces Times, Of the
2lst of April, says: Both cotton and
corn are growing beautifully, The
freedmen are working well, The North
Louisianan says: The freedmen are
working in most Instances better than
was anticipated.
