Warning to the South. The Louisville Journal, profiting to certain extent "by- the recent troubles in Jamaica, warns the people of the South that justice and liberality on the fart of the whites, in thir intercourse with the blacks, is the only policy that will insure safety to both races. So far geod, but the Journal fails to comprehend the whole question. Its editor seems to have but limited comprehension of the meaning of the word justice. Justice to a race so nu merous as the blacks of the South involves an equal voice in framing the laws by which -all are. to be governed. This the editor of the Journal, and his co-laborers in the late slaveholding States, will not voluntarily grant It is agreed that no part of the disaster which has fallen upon Jamaica is chargeable. .to a denial of the franchise to the Negroes, and the assertion is made that the franchise has not been withheld. This is a question of fact, upon which the Journal is at fault The fact that thi franchise is exercised by only one person in one hundred and eeronty-six in Jamaica indicates too plain ly that there is a fearful denial of . leeal riirhts. When it in ascertained that the executive, legislative and judicial branches- of tbe government are exclusively in the hands of the white planters and the clergy of the established church, it .is evident that it is the black race wnicn is oppressed. Among me causes of irritation, the Journal places the possession of the courts by the whites, the importation of Cooley laborers, and the t nation of articles worn by the Negroes. When it is recollected that the Negroes are ten times as numerous at the whites, . is it reasonable to suppose that they would be subjected to these hardships if they pos sessed equality before the law with the whites? The admission that such wrongs exist is sufficient refutation of the asser tion that the Negroes possess the franchise. Thus armed, they could and would obtain their rights by peaceful means. But the Journal is right in pointing the people of the South to the condition of Jamaica as a solemn warning against oppressing the freedmen now weakly "struggling for a recognition of their manhood. Southern "Justice." An order has been issued by the Adju tant General of Mississippi to the Captains of militia companies recently organized, directing them to disarm the Negroes witfiia ihi rallius of their company lines. The order is said to emanate from Gov ernor Humphrey, and directs the employ ment of "such force as shaH be necessary to put down ny efforts of resistance on the part of the Negroes." This is a fair sample of Southern 'justice." White ruffians may load themselves down with fire-arms and other weapons, and fchoot and stab men guilty of no crime save the possession of a black skin, whilst the unfortunate Negroes are disarmed by a galvanized rebel soldiery acting in the capacity of State militia, under the orders of a "re-constructed'' rebel brigadier, now filling the highest civil position in the Bute. . We publish in another oonlumn a very interesting and important letter from Col onel Ralph Plumb of Oberlin, formerly Post Quartermaster at Camp Dennison, on Ihe prospects and profits of cotton plant ing at the South. Colonel Plumb is a gentleman of great practical ability and sober judgment, and his opinion on the subject, formed after thirty days of obser vation and travel, will be of great value. WASHINGTON TOPICS AND GOSSIP [Special to the Cincinnati Gazette.] WASHINGTON, December 16. GOV, CORWIN ALIVE. Gov.

Kinds of Soil Employed—Expenses and Profits—Will the Freedmen Work—Attitude of Southern Men—A Change Inevitable—Will Cotton Planting Pay! OBERLIN, December 16, 1865. Dear Leader I have read with inter est your late articles upon Southern Em igration, and with your permission will lay before your readers, the following, as the result of thirty days of travel and observation among the people and cotton lands of Mississippi and Alabama: KINDS OF SOIL EMPLOYED. Prominent among these may be named the overflowed binds near tbe rivers, and more especially the Mississippi River lands the black prairis land ; the cane- brake land, which is also a black clay soil; the post ak, or red clay,', and the gray sand soil. These soils differ materially from each other in productiveness, and each has its peculiar good qualities as well as its lia bility to failure. Tbe largest crop is pro duced upon the Mississippi River land: and may be stated to be an average of one Dale ot nve nunarea pounds to tne acre, while that of the cane brake and prairie produces a half bale or over to the acre, and the gray sand and post oak lands re quire three acres generally to produce a bale. Each of the soils are, however, exposed to various vioissitudes, so that the crop is by no means a sure one. The cotton crop in the bottom lands of the Mississippi is exposed to ruin from breaks from the levee in high water; those of the prairie and cane break binds are injured by exces sive drouth and excessive rains, the surest and smallest crop being produced upon the post-oakjand grey sand soils but these, in common with the rest, are exposed to various insects and worms, which some times work great ruin. It is important that the facts be taken into account by those who are desirous of coming to correct Conclusions upon the subject of cotton planting. EXPENSES AND PROFITS OF PLANTING. In making a reliable exhibit of the prob able profits of planting cotton, it is proper to take the grey sand land as a basis, for, while the yield is not so great upon this oil, the crop is lesss liable to failure from any of the causes mentioned, and it is the opinion of most planters that for a series of years this grade of land is equal to any other for profit Taking, then, a planta tion of this sort containing six hundred acres of tillable cotton land and two hun dred acres for corn, and it will require a force ot Buy freedmen and twentv-nve mules to work it and they will produce not only the cotton crop, but also the necessary amount of corn for the hands and stock of the plantation for another year. At a bale of cotton for three acres, tbe yield would Do two Hundred bales, which at its present value, forty cents per pound, would bring, say $40,000, costing as fol lowt: 'or rent of land, toper acre. .52,400 or pay of fifty band, flu per moutbH.iNl Kor board of name For ae of mulea, plowa, harneaa, Ac. 2,u For cotton eeed. . l,uu-J20,O0 which leaves a balance of $19,100 for pro fits, to which should be added the produc tion of corn and TOrk. triyn th two lmn ureu acres cujuvateaby the same force. Many plantations have been leased, the lessor furnishing the mules, plows and harness and feeding the hands, and con ducting the plantation each party receiv ing one-nalt ol tne cotton in tne bale. - WILL THE FREEDMEN WORK? To this question the almost universal answer of tbe Southern man is "no," and from careful scrutiny I am convinced that they are generaally sincere in this belief. This is a vital question, and if tbe South ern answer is the correct one, tbe day of assured prosperity to the South is put off. it is not Surprising mat the lormer master should assume that the lash is the only means . by which, the. negro can be made to worn, lor slavery nas justined it self Upon this assumption through all the past, nor is the experience of the planter, since the surrender with his mode of treat ing the freedmen, calculated to change his view ; for, acting under the influence of ideas so well expressed in the famous Dred Scott decision, vie : "That the ne gro ha no rights the white man is bound to respect .tho planter has failed, in a large majority of instances, to fulfill his promises to remunerate bis former slaves for services rendored during the year just now closing. Ihe complaint on this score is very gen eral among the negroes, and tbe remem brance of years cf unpaid toil, no doubt prepares him to share in the mutual dis trust which seems to be almost every where expressed bt both the freedman and his former master. It is but just to state, however, in this connection, that the freed men quite generally misapprehend the true character of the change which tbe war has so suddenly brought upon them. The lack of intelligence which slavery has necessarily entailed upon them, makes them an easy prey to such stories as bad men have set afloat among them to tbe effect that at Christmas the lands and mules of their late masters are to be di vided among them by. the Government, and that aach one of them will be able to go into the cotton-raising business on bis awn account Tbe ownership of land seems to be an object of great desire among the negroes, while the planter, on tbe other hand, seems horrified at the thought of their becoming possessed of lands, eitber by purchase or by lease. From frequent conversations with tEe freedmen, respecting their plans and pur poses, and from the fact that wherever they are employed and paid now they per form faithful service, I conclude that as soon as they comprehend exactly what freedom ha secured to them, and are fully protected, tne great majority will be lound to be faithful laborers for pay. ATTITUDE OF SOUTHERN MEN. Do they welcome Northern men among them as purchasers of plantations, as me chanics and business men generally 1 I answer they do, as a general rule, and many of the leading men are cordial and earnest in inducing Northern capital and Northern ideas to come and settle among them. The most intelligent of them say that under the changed system of labor there is nothing left for them but a full adoption of Northern ideas. - Sixty days ago the general feeling was so decidedly in tne direction above indicated tnat tne holders of large plantations were general- seeking tor purchasers, wnue many were anxious to form alliances with Northern men by leasing them lands upon favorable terms. Now, however, there seems to be a marked change in this re spect The prices of .plantations have suddenly advanced and further leasing upon the favorable terms formeily made is not generally accomplished. ine chance, in tnis respect is marked. and, although the reasons for it are not avowed, it is not difficult fba careful ob server to understand it ftreaning. The truth is, the old political managers of the South are again at work at least in Mississippi and Alabama. They have -assembled at Jackson and Mont gomery in tbe capacity of Legislators, and have strong hopes of being speedily restored to state power, and placed be yond the reach of what they call Ex ecutive dictation, military usurpation and Congressional interference. Remember, they act upon tbe assumption that the ne gro must be forced to labor, and the prop osition is to frame such State laws aa will place the freed man's labor entirely under the control of his old master. This done I the wpet Wb able still t their, large plantations essentially upon the old idea of compulsory labor, and to reap the rich reward of tbe prospective high price of cotton for the next two j v. L ......... c , . The planters generally seem to have hopes of the success of this plan, and seem to taker in the course which, to them, seemed inevitable, just in proportion to the revival of their newly-created hopes. It is not my purpose to anticipate the result of this new phase of the process of reconstruction, but merely to note the fact for the information of those who are in terested in whatever affects the business of cotton-planting, and' tbe labor of the freedmen, which seems to be indispensable to it-in all the cotton-planting regions of the South. A CHANGE INEVITABLE. The schemes of the politicians above re ferred to, it is believed, will not werk. The news from Washington is unfavor able to their success, and without Con gressional aid the question of labor will be left to be adjusted in part at least upon such terms as tbe freedman shall recog nize as just and equitable. When the holidays are past, arrange ments for the vear must be definitely set tled, and tbe labor must begin upon tbe black lands in Januarv, and upon the land lands and alluvial soil as early as February. A CHANGE INEVITABLE. WILL COTTON PLANTING PAY? I answer, yes. Tbe data furnished above shows this, and the calculation is entirely sate. : . The richer description of land tbe prairie, canebrake and alluvial soil will generally produce a much larger crop. and will of course pay better. But it should be remembered that cotton is not a sure crop the better tbe soil the more liable the failure. But when a crop is se cured, at the present and prospective prices, ot cotton tbe protits must be large. lotton raising, however, is a business that will not bear neglect Unremitting attention is required in preparing the ground, -in planting the seed, in cultiva ting the plant and in picking the cotton, in conclusion, capital and energy, ju and van R.
