Col. Higginson in the Atlantic Magazine on
the Freedmen Of the South, many of whom
had served in his regiment, whom he found
to have made most extraordinary progress,
and some of whom are entirely independent.
In the North the only drawback upon this
favorable condition is that many laborers are
unemployed. But this number is now di-
minishing, and if there be not an increased
immigration, the time is near when the de-
mand for labor will be greater than the supi
ply. New forms of industry are constantly
arising, and if Europe continues to demand
food it will take all the surplus labor to till
the fields of the west. This may seem to
some highly colored fiction. But it has no
imagination in it. The conclusions are
drawn from positive facts. All the move
ments of mankind, whether on large or a
small scale, are like the motion of pendu-
lum, which, having swung to one side, swings
back. In the last five years the moral and
intellectual, as well as the material, business
Of the country has been swinging to one side,
swings back. When its monetary system got
deranged, and men in debt began to break,
every ybodY-and the newspapers in particular
thought they must cry ''hard times" and
keep it up. This has got dull and tiresome,
and it will not pay to keep it up much longer
nor will the condition of things justify it.
The great danger to the country is its legis-
lative bodies, which are continually tinkering
with and threatening changes in both the
monetary and industrial interests of the ma
tion. All this arises not from the want OF
statesmen, as some think, but from the want
of wisdom in the people to employ them.
Can that evil be remedied? Perhaps not.
and on that question depends the future OF
the country. We hear Of ''Nationalists,
Socialists" Communists, and various fac
tions rising up protesting to rectify the
wrongs of the country and the worse wrongs
of human nature. But if am right, they
have little to go on. Human nature cannot
be rectified by the ballot box. Why should
there be greenback party when greenbacks
are triumphant and will remain the currency
of the country? Why should there be an
Anti Resumption party, when resumption is
practically accomplished, and, whether for
good or evil, must be tried. Why should we
attack capital when capital is about to set
labor to work in new enterprises? Why
should we undertake to do what is already
done? There is bright day ahead; why
should we cloud it?-[E. d. M. in Cincinnati
Gazette.

peoples money to advance the interests OF
their own party.
VIII the Democratic party do more to pro-
mote the gratitude due to the Union soldier,
or will it do more to advance his material in-
terests than has been done by the Republican
party? The answers to this question are nu-
merous and conclusive They may be found
daily in the Southern newspapers; IN poems
and orations over the graves OF the Confede-
rate dead; in the vote of the last House OF
Representatives, which elected rebel officer
iu preference to an able Democrat who served
nobly in the Union army; in the legislation
they sought to secure, having in view the
granting of pensions to rebel soldiers; and,
finally, in the significant vote taken in the
very last vote of the last session, showing
that the Southern Democrats went solid
against the apoption of a resolution forbid
ding the payment of disloYal claimants, here
after of any war claims arising out of the late
rebellion.
Soldiers, be not deceived! The day that
witnesses the organization of the Forty-sixth
Congress with q Democratic majority begins
one of the darkest and most miserable eras in
the history of this country; and from that
day you will recognize that your right to
even bare subsistence, and perhaps your
very life, will depend on your success in con-
cealing from the closest scrutiny the honora-
BILE part you took in crushing out treason and
rebellion. Then treason will be anything
but odious, and your modest wages, as well
as the wealth of Northern capitalists and
manufacturers, will be heavily taxed to reha-
bilitate the fortunes of traitors who lost their
substance in an attempt to subvert Republi-
can government.

THE COMING ECLIPSE.
A Request by the United States

On the 10Th inst. total eclipse oi

to securing accuracy, Washington time

To the "Nautical Almanac, speaking OF
the eclipse, says:
"This eclipse may be regarded as the
return of that of July IS, 1860, when
the shadow of the moon crossed Hud-
son Bay territory, the Atlantic Ocean,
Spain and Africa. During its progress
the dark shadow of the moon will first
strike the earth in the Province oi

north. Its course will at first be east.

to east, and, after leaving Asia to the
southeast, It will cross Behring's Straits,
in latitude 600 4V north, in an easter
ly direction, pass little northeast oi
Sitka, cross the British Possessions
toward the southeast, and enter the
United States in longitude $50 west oi
Washington. In this country 1t will
sweep over the western end of Montana
Territory, the Yellowstone National
Park, Wyoming Territory, Denver,
Colorado and Northern and Eastern
Texas, entering the Gulf of Mexico
between New Orleans and Galveston.
1t Will, then pass over most of the island
of Cuba and Southern San Domisgo,
and leave the earth q little island.
Within this country the breadth of the
shadow will be about 126 miles. The
eclipse will be visible as a partial one
over all the United States, Mexico and
British America, on the afternoon oi
Monday, July 29."

Possible saving. "a
This is narrow margin; but so, also, there
is liberal allowance for living. A man can
liye, as to food, very well on twenty-five
cents per day; and family Of six persons
on eighty cents per day; but there must, of
course, be an allowance for rent and clothing.
The wages of labor in the South are less;
but the climate and the condition of the peo-
pie make the cost Of living much less, and
the laborer, as a whole, quite as self-depend-
ent. Mr.. David Wells, who has been inves-
tigating the income of the United States, es-
Inmates the total receipts for labor at $4,000
0O0, 900 per annum, and greater than the in
come from the same source in Great Britain.
and, in one word, that the United States is
really richer than Great Britain, or probably,
than any nalion upon earth in proportion to
its population.
We submit upon these unquestionable sta
tistics that the condition of the laborer in the
United States is really good, and affords the
means, as we all know by observation, of
gradually acquiring an independence, and
buying piece of land, which is the true
foundation of independence. We may add to
this statement reference to an article Of
