Field Lnborers.

Mr.. EDITOR Allow me to drop afow thoughts
on the subject of labor and lab1rers rs it now ex-
lists among us. There is great evil at work, if
we lock at it clo:e!y. I mean where any
one makes q contract with the Freedmen, for scmo
one else to try to influence them away. 1t is
wrong in the extreme. How do we expect to gel
along while thereisso much pulli-s and hauling?
It il. out of the question. The poor simple, crea-
puTes seem 70 0Euvn-uv-t,~tt---.;.--i
whim that comes along. 4thas bcceme censura-
bic for white man to try to toll them or. But
some whites will screen themselves behind freed
man, and senl him to hire hands, placing great
confidence in their skill and ingenuity. I know
of such circumstances. But all are not duped
into that selfish idea, thinking that no one else
must live but himself. ALLOW no 20 give an in
stance. About two weeks ago, one OF my tEecr-
mon, who had made contract with me for the
yssr, qmi. me. He ramblcd two days hunting
home, but failed; every where he went they would
ask him for his, "permil" or discharge" from
me, and refusing TO hire him without my lief BE
then went aad got two p,ep to come and interceed
for him to get. back. After many good promises
I took him back. Now if every one would do
that, we would oil get along bcitcr. hope the
people will soon leaEn wisdom, and actaccord'ogly.'

afforded before the recess of Cougrcss 10 oct
on the resolution Of Senator Wilson, intro
duccl in the Senate to-day. Nearly all the
leading Radicals have for a year past clamor-
ed either for his trial or discharge. Thad'
deus Stevens, in particular, .bas always beer
opposedto any personal punishment of tic
Confederate leader; his cry ID, "Confiscate
their property and let them ro,a the stand
and-deliver policy. The objections oEChieii
Justice Chase to try cases in Virginia have
been rather augmented than iecrcascd'by rs

Congress passes the resolution Of Mr.. Wilson
which is very probable, the President vii
promptly orderthe release of Mr.. Davis OF

Tax on SOUTHERN LABoRERs.-In the de-
bate III the Senate yesterday on the cotton
tax, Mr. Sprague made astrlklng statement IN
regard to the profits of cotton planting. de
said he had for the last few years been en-
gagged in cotton planting, and that mo agri,
cultural interest offered such Eoor induce
ments as cotton" And Jet SD, 600, 600 was
collected last year by this tax. This tax, of
course, in a very large degree. falls directly
on the laborer in the cotton field. Suppose
Sl4,OO0,0O0 had been left with the planters,
instead of being taken from them, what an
immense stimulus to material development at
the South, and consequently, of advantage to
the cmancipatcd classes. The colored people
should be made to- understand how they are
pundercd by ;ais unjust taxation imposed by
their progressed friends.
