Wad IIlMrTox Whatever conflicting theories may be entertained regarding the future of the negro, and his proper status in the body politic, one fact glaringly patent and of pressing importance suggests itself now. and that is: the presence or a large colored ele ment in onr mldst,vand the question arui tig from it. of making them Understand the responsibility at tsching to their changed eonditian, and thealiqo Into necessity of thrift and industry in their new relations. Jt is the cqnvkttipd of a great iminy. that the class we refer to, just emerging from slavery iuto freedymj would eihb't tlis b4 rWi'Sa-pfnofof their worth and capabilities by an earnest desire to become self-supporting and In'tclligcnt, rather than hy a hasty and wild cWmor for the pouessioa or certain abstract political rights. The right of suff rage, if it does uot, ought u involve reasonnblo in telligence, nt least, as a -((uaKHtntion ; and, until that l uljtained, and eviikace furnished of proper application to industrial pursuits, the acquiring cjf the latter would tw tint in onlur. However; tlie immediate qaostion on band is, the A disposition aud elevation of the frecdauea at present among us. irotn a conversation with lien, risk. Commis sioner of Freedmon, we learn that Nashville is, at present, overstocked with negroes; and it m pis earnest desiro thnt they should be so distributed throughout the State, that tlieir energies may be brought into healthy play in agricultural and other industrial ptinuiu. The Govcrmncnt is still at con siderable expense iu providing for contrabands, who will persist in clinging to tho cities and towns, while in some parts tof the Stntc there Is the live liest demand for labor. For the interest of tlie Gov ernment, and also of the other party interested, this thing or Issuing free rations must be gradually stopped, and all brought toase'.f-sustaining status. 10 show the tendency of the freed men to cling to tlie oi tin, wt will furnish few figures. In 1660, the total negro population of Nashville was 3,043. To-day tlie figures are as follows : . Male adults, 3,306) female, 3,858; children under fifteen years, 3,580. Total, 10,744, or aa increase since 18C0 of 6,790. In Edgefield in 1860, the colored popu lation Slumbered about 300; now about 2,000. Now, it is of paramount importance that thia sur plus negro element should be where their serv'ces are most needed on the farms and cotton planta tions. Huddled together in the city, in rirketty tenements and Ovemmeut bouses, both physically and morally, they arc' deteriorating, and present an appearance anything but creditable, to their newly acquired freedom. - - - The fxeurimen, even if they are looked upon by many witn distrust and aversnn, are nevertheless, a living patent fad, nd the interest of black and white regime that the relations existing between thsru should be amicable and harmonious. To our frieuds in town and country, we can cheerfully vouch for the tirbunlty and accommodating dirpo sition of General Kisk, and hts earnest desire to see all irritating and disturbing elements soothed down or removed, lie wishes it distinctly under stood that, except in extraordinary emtrgcnmv tho affairs of the Freedmcn's Uureau will be con ducted without military Interference or mokistation. vVbcrc-agents are to he appointed through the Slate, they will, iu all cases, be civilians, well knowu ia their respective nuighborhoul, aud o levied for their preseut worth and capacity, withoat regard to any issue of the post.

The Washington correspondence of the New York TWi corrects the prevailing report that the reeent local elections in Virginia, were carried by secesn. Tbe elections were for. county officers, and In most eases tbe old incumbents were re-elected mithout reT gard to politics, and simply because they were con sidered beat qualified for tbe -duties to be performed. Tbe men ettsrmauted, as aocowieoistt nave taken tbe oath pf allegiance, and their good faith is to be assumed until they show by their conduct that they hare perjured themselves. These cases of raise re port and of misveprestatasioM da not stand alone. Tue public should disbelieve the stprieacimCeraw ing .outrages committed there, until they are au thenticated by something better than mere assertion.

At the appointed time tbe hall was found well filled, with negroes, who were told (bat tbe meeting was designed for white men, and as they could take no part in theproeeedings, they bad better reMrs. Tiiey did so; but soon returned under counter instruction Such men as the notorious Kedpath. and others, who are dctcrmined'tn force negro suffrage npon the South, are engaged In this kind of business, hoping to bring on a collision that will result to tlie preju dice of white men, and create a new sympathy for tho negro. Albany X. z. Aroits. - ' DUTI OF THE SOl'ie. ; Tbe violation of the freedom of election in Rich mond has done much to strengthen ia this section the cause of civil government at the South. The policy of prevention bas been revealed before the North ia actual reality; and, condemned as it ia by Tht Pott, Tht Qommrreial, and cventbe time-serving Herald, will, undoubtedly, learn in future to act loss violently. Tbe contest which the destruc tives are Kill anxious, to maintain against tbe peo ple of the South, has, in fact, cbauged its, con ditions; and every blow which they deal in it henceforth but serves to swell the tide ef popular reaction. The battle ie not always with the strong, and will not remain piuch longer with the faction io'power, provided only that the Sou'.h show In peace as she certainly did in nv, unshrinking faith in tier sense of right. ; ' " Taeorerriding of tbe Richmond election is of a piece Ub such violoncojas that of Ih suppression of many papers in Georgia aud in North Carolina. The object iu all these coses is to break down the independent spirit of tho Southern people in the hope that they will go through tbe Ibrms of free dom in amauner to subserve the desperate necessi ties of the revolutionary fjictiftn tb.at keeps its bands ujn the reins of power.

The perjurers or cowards who oniue to them with lying declarations of constant devotion to tbo Union are, therefore, the very men for their purposes.

Tbe design of .tbe faction , in offtee is not more clear than (lie duty of the people of the South.

August 4, l,8C5.3t .4 : , ' EIAGGEBATiOX, In tba New York Journal of Commerce of the Tlh there are some judicious remarks on this topic. After slating and exemplifying the mischief, tbe journal proceeri: , How then, it may be asked, can this remedied r The first antidote is in the press the great organ lor good or evil, especially lu the use or language. Nor, indeed, is it any more than just if the entire labor of correcting this evil is thrown upon the pros, since to tne latter may be tracci, in a great measure, tbe source of all the trouble. It is, per, haps, not too much to say that it docs more to mould society In Its habits of thought and modes of expression than any other known ageney cer tainly more than books, or even the pulpit for they. are cast aside and unheard when the newspaper pen etrates into tlie family circle and foris itsidf upon tlie privacy or each individual member. It has been a matter of common remark, more especially in tbe last year -r two, that new words, coined for, . a purpose, haro bocn taken from the paper in wiiicb, tney were nrsi usen, io occome part and parcel pr . daily conversation. The press adds now words and new forms of expression to the language daily, and iu tone, of excitement is given to tlio community. The newspaper ptess teems with continued exag. gcrntions is ridiculous as they are injurious to readers, especially the young, who a.-e led astray. A notable example may bo giron when the press, in speaking of the murder of our late President, places him on a level wilk all the ercatcst men of tbe past or present for purity and Intellect, exhausting lan guage to swell bis praises. . Ihe people follow, and cten a minister of the gospel, from tho desk, with shocking profanity, likens him to the Savior of man kind. Such exaggerations defeat their own object. and fail to lire as verities in history. These sweep ing ei omlums with- very many, produce the very effect which was not intended, ' And it might bo shown that among journalists, as with individuals, general looseness in writln and talking produces in time a corresponding looseness in regard to the truth. - - - Tub Fbcbpmax's BrilAu. We reimrd the Or- gauization of the Freed man's Bureau as one of tba best measures that bas been applied to tbe South since tlie close of the rebellion. It has already ac complished much In this end of the Stale through .1.- m - r . . . me cuicieucj n me agonis era pioyea to carry out the design. The chaotic condition of the labor system is being rapidly reduced to order. It gives the employer tbe means of compelling the fUllfil raont of engagements on tbe part of employees. It gives the employs tbe means of exactingjustioa from the ethployor. It organizes, and reduces to system the heterogeneous mass that before, was rolling and vibrating around the country. It pre vents Ihe collection of swarms of idlers aud vairranta around military posts. It measurcrc-ut justice with an equal band. Gen. Tillson has shown himself rully equal to the very delicate tadt assigned him. His management of the affairs of tbe Bureau bas thus fur proved, so fur as we have hoard, satisfactory to all parties. Gen. Tillson, who has appointed Mnj. lteevea as Judge of the Freedmcn's Court. conducts the affsirs of the court "With as much justice to all parties as it is possible to use. His conduct in h.s department bas been satisfactory so far as we know, both to employers and emnlorec. Tbe .Superintendent of tbs Bureau and hjs subordl. nsies in uus district, leave no opportunity unim proved to impress upon the Frcedmcn the duties and res'ionsibililies devolving unon tham. and th punishment that must befall them if they do not do their duty fully and justly, promising them at the same time protection in their just rights.
