The RIGHT DoCTRlNE.-- Gen. W.
B. Franklin, at the Soldiers Reunion
in Brattlcboro, congratulated his hear
"rs on being the first to hold State
Reunion. He said that is the true
basis. No matter what army YOU be,
longed to, you all carried the flag Of
Your state. as well as that Of your
country, and there are mary ties to
bind you that troops from different
States do not possess. The formation
of the army from citizens, their return
to citizenship, and the splendid militia
organizations which are springing up
under their leadership and the patron
age OF the different States, will soon
dispense with the regular army.
When it is done with its police duty
in guarding the Indians, it will 90
down. The States arc the units of a
combination that will always be safe
and speedy reliance. And the military
spirit should be kept up. Even this
generation may see another war,
greater than the one through which
we passed. 1t would be easier to in
wade rs than it was for France to in
wade Ru STA, and some nation may be
foolish enough to attempt it.

Does White labor or Black Ia
bOr make the Cotton Crop.

The negro does not produce half
the cotton which he produced before
the war. lIordes Of able-bodied ne
groes have removed from the rural
districts to the cities Those who
have not died from epidemics are en-
gagged, very many in honest and in
dustrious pursuits, but the larger mum
bers in occupations which furnish but
a scanty and uncertain livelihood. OF
those which remain in the rural dis
tricts, n large number cultivate their
patches of ground in an uncertain and
protitless manner Reliable negro
labor in the cotton fields has been still
further reduced by the withdrawal of
women and children from the field.
The truth is that the 100000 of
OF bales Of cotton are due rather to
white than to black labor. Counties
IN Tennessee, Kentucky, South Mis-
souri,, North Arkansas and Texas
where not bale OF cotton was made
ten years AGO now produce tens of
thousands ofbales made by white men
the men whose minds were enlarg-
ed and whose industry was stimulated
by the lessons learned as soldier. If
the late war did no other service to
the South. it transformed the Southern
peasant into an intelligent, frugal,
peaceable and laboriouS citizen such
as no other country in the world can
boast.
That the Register is correct in its
opinion that black labor has retro
graded, it need but point to the con-
dition Of Alabama, where, until the
last year, negro rule in one or the 9TH
er branch Of government has frowned
upon and rcpul>ed white immigration.
In 1860 there were IN Alabama 49,
10000 acres Of land in farms in
1870 there were less than $1,000, 900.
Here are 100000 Of acres OF land
thrown ont Of EN- loyment by the de-
struction OF labor. The value Of farms
in 1860 was over Sl75,O0O,000, but in
1870 it had sunk to less than $685.
000,0O0. While Albania and other
States in which the negro race largely
predominated continually refrigerated
year by year after emancipation, We
fad those States which became free of
the rule Of Reconstruction advanc-
ing rapidly in wealth and quite restor-
lng the prosperity OF former days. Let
the people OF the North understand
this thing The bulk OF the cotton
crop is now made by white labor, and
there is money in it .-INobile Regis
