For two ttioDths I bare been joarneyiiijf in the unreconstructed States. I have, swantr around the circle tbronch Louisville, Memphis, Juckson; (Mwsissippi,) New Or leans, Mobile, Montgomery, A linn tn, Augusta, Savannub, Cbarleston, Ruleigh and llichmond, and have written my impressions from' doj today, nothing extenuating or sot ting aught down in malice- I think I havo gathered my facts with a cautious pen. ' In previous letters I described many scenes and events that carried their own lessons. I sketched sir of the Southern constitutional conven tions, and in reading over those sketohes in print,, with a matnrei experience, I find no word to blot. In this fetter (which shall have the doublo merit of being the last and the shortest), I simply desire to express in as low words m possi ble the convictions that have re sulted Irom a vnried contact with Southern sentiment, as it exists to day. Of the industrial condition of tho Southern States I have said ovory thing there is to say. That section will do all that can be hoped for if it raises enough this year to feed itself. The now sys tem oil a nor is seeking its levels. Agriculture there is in a trunsition state. Tho plantation is coiner out, and tho farm must come in. Ten years hence the Southerner will be cultivating a hundred acres instead of scratching ovor a thousand on borrowed monoy and unpaid -foPprovieions. If any Republican discovers his eilvcrplating getting thin, let him liiko a two month's' Southern jour ney. ,.a thoughtiul and observant man Will find himself newly etee trotypotl in the parly fuith that swept sway socesoion and slavery, and which,,if true to itself, will ex pand and enuoble by statemnn- titiip what it to steadfastly helped to save oy the swora. In thrco or four letters, I grum bled at the indiscretions of Con gress, but, all the wbi)o,.the South ern a people and newspapers were ireai'ng my moderate Kepnbiican ism with tonics.-Six months down there, I fear, would havo made me a Radical. Tho Souther Deis conceive that they ,did nothing particularly wrong in tbo part they took in the drama of tho rebellion. They feel no repentance, and no regret, un less it bo for failure. This may be human nature; well, it is human natuie not to lot them govern the country agaiu. They have a fond nopo tn&t, through Andrew John son and tho Democratic party (both of whom they secretly de spise) they will be floated into su- ptcme power, asol old. It is strange that they can so delude them selves, but such is tho fact. "The North comes," said Charles Sum ner before the war. Tho North has como with n vengeance. It crows by emigration 1,000 a day. llcw much does the South grow? In what manner are the new cat ored citizens to bo disfranchised and degraded when Davis, Leo, Toombs, Breckinridge and tho rest resume control ot the Govern ment? Tho Southern whip used to have secession for a snappor. bat will the new thongnt be r it was formerly the fashion to let reb els build hoslilo earthworks right nnder the inqfu-nBive noses of na tional forts. Is tho same consid erate, policy assured-for the future? These queries may seem childish. But I am speaking; of tho childish Southern weakness to comprehend Wat their minority may not again wave tho imperial wand over the tolling and pationt masses. Ibey think their star is only in eclipse. Wo must be resolute and '.each thorn that it has has set forever That lesson well learned, they will begin to be dcsirablo citizens. The fracdmen have surprised mo by their native shrewdness, and1 good senso. their Cautions, and sub missive behavior, and the keen, intelligent interest they take in tboir new political privileges. If they were ono-lonth as vindictive and contcmptous in tboir mar ner toward tho whites as the whites are toward them a war of races would : have ensued long ngo From close observation I believe them to bo humbler in deportment than 'before emancipation. Asa class they are anxious to get work and get on In tbe world. They are more industrious than their lato masters. . And though the word bas beon abused, they aro as loyal to the bovernmentas it is possible tor men ot their capacities to be. The? would rospuna to a national summons to arms with alacrity ttnd enthusiasm. By their votes in the various conventions tnoy navo shown that tbey fuol no hatred to ward tboir old oppressors, and ask nothing beyond security lor the Seratch ft Souiherrer, and you find an intolerant, lie is not will ing to have von vote as your con science diotatcs. Defy bis local despotisms your name will be so dally ostracised, your name will be Dublinhed in-a black-list, you will be sneered at and insulted.

Bow About Southern loyalty. 7 About three fourths of tbe South. ern people arc passively disloyal. Could it be otherwise? F'r four years they rained death on the ns tionul flag and tbo national uni form. They shot at and cursed them. 'In every church in the Confederacy they prayed and sup. plicated with fervor and with tears to have tbom go down io disgrace. Can it be thai their gorge docs uot rise now at their sight 7 On tho boat coming up the Po- tomao from Acquia Creek I heard a Southerner confess that though he tried to sobdue the emotion, he still felt a hatred of tbe stars and stripes. lie bad fought nnder Lee, from first to last, and during that time bod seen the flag so often'.in battlo when the Army of the Poto mac swept dowo upon him and his companions in arms, that he fear- j ed he would never again be alio to Took upon ir is hit flag. ibe dominant class in tho Sooth never was republican in its traits. tastes or habits. The revolution now going on in its industries and j system ot labor tend lo make it so, but as long as this generation lives I the chango cannot be complete" i Tho Southern man and woman still deem themselves a better or. dor of burnt than tho Yankees. They will die in that faith. The vanity is ingrain. 1 I have beon astonished to find' how generally the Southerners be lieve the North to be on tho verge of civil convulsion Reading only their own nowsDHDors and the most violent Copperhead journals pub lished in the Worth, thoy.are firm ly convinced that nothing is more liKeiy to happen than the ombroil ment of the Western with the Mid- dlo and New England States. That they would delight in such a ca lamity is ns certain aa tbe fact that the noxtgalo that swoeps from the North will not toko to" them "the clash of resounding arms." They cannot understand, tho elastic tern per and wholesimo tolerance of the North, whore elections come and go, crises ripen and declirfo, with no thoughts of bloodshed, nor black-lists, nor social disdain, con tempt ana persecutions. The Southerner is generous in somo things, and honorublo fn many, -but bo is not yet a good c'tizen for a republic. That is the whole trouble. He must be made so, or stand back for his children. He needs a firm, resolute guidance not unkindly, unions he will irave it so but firm, always firm. The moment we waver, ho wavers. When bo fully and finally under stands that his old undue political importances irrevocably a thing of the part, he will tuko the first step on the road to Valuable citi zenship. But between Andrew Johnson and tho "Great Democrat. io Reaction'' he bus coma to be liove in the speedy ovouhrow of the Republican party, ami in the restoration of the slave dynasty to reign over a dominant party, com posed of Southern extremists and Northern doughfaces. the boulh to-day is not divided into parties, unless it be whito vs. black. The whiles do not call themselves Democrats, though they pray for the success of that party in the reasonable hope that its tri omph will again commit it and the country to their malignant con trol. Such a political rovotullon would be a horror beside which oppres sive tuxmion and Congressional ex cessos (if oither exig'.or have been committed) coufTl as nothing Weighed agninstthnt contingency, Impeachmoot is but a feather in the scale. The South has deceiv ed and well nigb ruined us once. That was their fault. IfthoyUoit again it will be ours. Before starting South I thought I should vote the Republican tick et. Now.T know it. Whatever the moral of this ''Southern Jour ney" has been to such of your readers as have followed it, the moral to me is an exalted fuith in the Republican party, and a pro found, uncompromising distrust of Southern Character and Southern sentiment. A prominent Alabama ian assured me that the rebels were crashed bocause they fought sgainft God. Yes, and they are fighting against God to day. J. W. M. W saw seven Butternuts and a negro on their way to- the Peni tonliary, from Jackson Co., last Thursday. Severul of them Were in the rebel army. They attf act ed considerable attention by their bad behaviour as well as by sing ing such songs as Bonnie Blue Flag, and Farewell Forever to tbe btur Spangled Banner. Abe ne gro remained quiet and appeared lo be the only one that had sense enough lo appreciate the disgrace of the situation. Fi'nfun Record.

Our Slate Legislature, which in political wisdom is far in advance of all tbe political economists of the present day, fa threatening to "rsgnlate" the laws which irovern capital and labor. It is generally supposed by those wbo have giv- en this subject some thought, that ths kind of labor that men choose to engage in, the compensation for which they are willirg to labor, or which is the same thing, the length of lime for which they will labor for a certain compensation, are" matters regulated by tbe law of supply and demand, or in other words aro matters which regulate themselves. As this is supposed to be a free country, tho less inter ference with the freudem of con tracts for the ose of cspiral or for the uso of labor, the belter ii is for both capitalists and laborers. lien shonld be left to regulate their business affairs, and sociul and dome-lie affairs to suit themselves. This hns been tho rule in this coun try, and he is blind ' indeed who cannot see tbe rule has worked woll. Sumptuary laws. In all countries. at all times, huve utterly failed. Governments cannot determine for men what they shall eat or what they shall drink, or what ther shall wear:. And so, being of the same general nature, w.e are oono- sed to all laws which undertake to tell men how long, each day. thev shall labor, or for what wae-8 they shall labor. Vo are opposed to an eight boor law, or a six hour law, or a ten, or a twelve hour law, or any law on tno SUIO :l. The Suite has no moro business to.say that a man shall work but eight hours a day, if his nerenyiiie require him to work longer, than it has l compel him to work precise ly eight, whatever bis avocation may be. - Why not require, by law, that nil men shall sleep eitrhi hours cf the tweul y-four. or shall eat three hours, which would be a sensible provision, in view of our railway stylo of outing. A law to reduco the hoars of la bor, if it has any effect, will simply reduce Ihe waucs paid for luhor. All .reasoning bused upon the as sumption that there Is any neces sary antagonism between the in terests of the employer and the employed, in fallacious, for the reason that the interests of capital and labor are identical. Wages can only be paid out ot the profits derived irom a combination of capital wi: h labor. The more prof itable a day's labor is to a capital ist, tho more ho will be abje to ex tend his operations, tbo larger the number ot laborers he will be able to employ, and tho greater will Be his ability, as well as tho greater his interest, to compensate more highly those whose labor becomes more fruitful as the capitalist's sphere of business is enlarged. But we did not propose to enter upon the discussion of this subject and have only indicated the prin ciple whiclt underlios all sound reasoning on the relations of capi tal and labor. Ohio St te Journal. Colored Congressmen. Tho Washington correspondent of Iho New York Times writes as follows: "Many people, both North and 'South, are much, puzzled by the question as to whether we shall have colored Congressmen or not. By reading the Constitution they will find this question definitely settled. It procides that no man can bo a Senator who bas not been nine years a citizen ot tbo United States, tior any person u Represen tative who bas not. been soven years a citison. It mukes little differonco, at present, Whether the citizenship ot tho blacks dates from the proclamation of emanci pation, or from tbo abolition of slavory by tho Constitutional Amendment, or from their enfran chisement by tho Reconstruction Acts of Congress. At least two years mustyot elspso before any Representative of color can be ad mitted to tbo halls of Congroas." The following marriage notice, originally publishod in tho Kan awha, (Va) Republican is going the rounds ot tho Dctnocraijc press, and furnishes a text tor nu merous con. merits! "Married, February 6. 18C8, in Charleston, W. Vs., by Rov. 11. A. Arthur, Peter floadeo, (white,) and Emily Winden, (negro). The Douiocratio press however, omit to state that Boaden is a Democrat. While he appears to be satisfied his party does hot, and we leave them to .utile the matter.

Again: "liaiiecx ordered the move ment on tho 6ib, but on the 10th he telegraphed directions for its delay. Grant, however, had at ready started and tbe expedition was not recalled" (p 25). Uo lei eu'raphed Hnileck at anmber lime : "I shall take and destroy Fort Donclson on the Sih and return to Fort Henry." "-I feci that there should bo nodelay in this matter." At various limes: "I am ready lor any move the General command ing may suggest" (p. 53). I care nothing for promotion so lonL eg our arms tire sunccasful" (p. 79) "Buell inquired, 'What prepara tions have you made for retreat ing, Gener.tl?' His remark mav not have beon concluded, fr Grant interrupted him at once, exclaim ing: '1 haven't despaired of whip ping them yet' " (p. 62). "Beau regard made application to Grant on tho 8th for permission to bury his own dead ; but Grant had al ready performed that duty for hit fallen foes" (p. 91) "I em exceed itigly anxious, mii! Grni, "lo do something before the roads get bad, and before the enemy can in trench and reenlorce" (p 131) These brief extract, and there are hundreds moro, tell this story: Grunt was out to' fight and to beat the enemy wherever he could find them, and never rested until it was done.

One of tbe latest uses of papor is its application in the manufacture ot pails, wash basins, pans, spit toons, etc. ; and, strange as it may soo in, it is nevertheless true that the above articles made from a chemically prepared paper, aro superior i a many respects to any , otbors ever before mado. The pa- pet irora which these Articles are manufactured is rendered imper vious to the action of water ot nO'ds ; the utensils can be plaoed in an oven till witter will boil in tbom, placed in the sun at tbe hot season. or exposed to tho severest cold. without the slightest effect on tbom. Whero wood would tot and iron rust, these articles are jinaflected, and with proper usage would bo good as new. In pails there is aa advantage that water will not taste of tho material, ami will never soak, aod will not fall io .pieces ;' tbey are lighter th iu tbo wooden pail, and being a non-conductor .of heat, will keep water cool.
