A special dispatch from Nashville to
the Louisville Courier says Gen. CARLIN,
of the Freedmen's Bureau, win publish
a circular letter shortly, notifying col
ored people that, in obedience to orders
from Washington, no rations will be
issued, under any circumstances, to the
destitute after the 20th OF August. The
General, in a letter to Judge LAWRENCE,
broadly intimases that certain Radicals
there are preventing Idle negroes from
going 10 work in the country, in order to
secure their votes in the municipal cleo
ton in September.
General CABIN has himself to thank
for that. We saw, a day or two before
the election, q planter of Crittenden
county, Arkansas, who told us that all
the negroes he mad employed, with the
exception Of two or three, had left his
place without warning, and gone he did
not know where.
The promise of fifty acres each Of con-
fscated land, the Vaccinations Of itin-
.erent exhorters and resident adventures,
the devilish invention of Loyal Leagues
and other secret societies, and the conse-
uuent welding together of the negroes
into q huge party everywhere, with
the aid Of brides and r~ascsIities in regis
tration, and General CABINS procla-
nation that all discharged negroes would
be maintained in idIsEess, have cut
the deluded wretches wholly Of
from tine ,sympathies Of the dis
franchised whites, whose good opinion
and confidence and liking the silly gulls
and dupes Of Radicalism have lost for
ever. There is IS great a gulf be-
tween them and Us as there was between
Dives and Lazarus. Our sympathies
and good will, and the little means the
war and spoilstioB have left Us, are for
the poor Of our " colour OF whom,
COP knows, there are more than enough.
We must have white domestics, white
or other Iabourers, white farmers, to take
the place Of the negroes. Then the ire
pressib'e conflict" between white and
black labour will exist here, as wei a. in
the North, and the negro viii 90 to the

How are we to get these domestics,
~labourers and farmers2
We dare say that Colonel BILLY OAR
DIS, OF any other agent, upon assurances
that places viii be ready FOR them, and
with the advance Of a small sum for
each, to pay 70. steamboat and railroad
passage, can procure as many Irish and
German domestics, hosters, gardeners
and other labourers, from st. Louis, Chi
| csga and Milwaukee. as are needed. It
will be easy enough to have an agency
at Chicago OF Milwaukee or Cleveland,
to see to paying the passages and sending
forward the persons employed. Why not
set this on foot at once? Do something.
Talking about it amounts TO nothing.

AS to the farmers, a plan has been sug
gested TO us in general terms, which We
have been requested to enlarge and pub
lish. We are not competent to arrange
all the details, but can state its genera
features.
We own, separately and with others
large bodies Of land in Arkansas, fertile
bottom land and arabic uplands. w

white man who viii clear 10 acres, build

value Of forty acres will clear, 81 al

will give $50 acres ON like terms, the

within 40 many years, to the value Of tbs

We propose that an association b
formed, at once, to invite immigration
on these terms or such as shall be deemed
better: that bonds be drawn up, printed
and forwarded TO landowners in Ten.

hama, by which each shall bind himself
so to dispose Of so many tracts Of land,
Of such and such dimensions. A small
contribution by each will defray the ex-
penses. Settlers in abundance can be
found in the Northwestern States, and
an agent can be sent to Northern Eu-
rope and Switzerland, where Thousands

be made to the company and that per

sizes, and set to work In good earnest,
