THK forthcoming message of Mr. Johnton is looked for with unusual interest and it is predicted that he will astonish many of his friands in the viows it will contain. It would indeed seem a difficult task for him to astonish any body after his astonishing course for a year or two past.

THK "dignity of labor" is a priaciple which must be thoroughly aceepted by the Sauth before it ean hope to recover its lqst prosperity. Bo long as an employer looks on kis workman as a little better than a brute beast, and carei less for him than his live stock, he must expect to fail in his attempts to make use of free labor. To dwell on a Bingle point, if the meals be tosied out to a planter's hands with no more attention to the cooking than the swill which is poured into the hog trough, ho cannot keep a single farmer on his premises. The Rev. Herman Bokum stated, a short tima ago, at Nashville, that the Germans were returning North from Tennessee and Tirginia, on account of4ho insufficient food furnished by their employers. Two ship loads of passengers arrived recently at Now Orleans, from

Belgium, and tho emigrants, instead of stopping In tho fertile fields ef the South, proceeded on their way to Iowa. Until the planters learn how to behave bettor, thev cannot obtain any help from the Northern emigratiou.

THK "Cotter" system of England, if adopted and successfully carried out in the South, as it can be done, if the land owners will act in good faith, will prove of incalculable benefit to the country.— Under this arrangement the farm labor-

Vr*r A -HifT'Afi

ers, in addition to the pay for their services, are settled by families in cottages with small tractB of land attached the privileges of grazing a cow on the common pasture, and of obtaining fuel from the woods, are alse granted. There are large quantities of land in the South from which lots could bo set off without materially reducing the size of the plan* tations, and the presence of an industrious population would increase the value of the remaining portions. The "Virginia Emigration Society professes to be able to supply as many families as may be required, to planters who will give rent free for five years, a cabin, ten acres of land, and the right to fuel, to the laborers agreeing to work at seventy-five cents per day for the landlord.

SEWAKD Insists on Mr. E. L. Plumb

BHt wait until the time of trial comes, and the rifles will be found out of order. The days of such senseless vaporing have passed.

POST MASTER

QENERAL'S

REPORT.

The Times' special says the report of the Postmaster General will show some interesting facts regarding recent reductions on ocoan mail services which Gov. Randall has secured by refusing to submit any longer to tho demands of the monopolies of the English steamship lines during the past six years. The Department has paid for the transportation of our mails from $150,000 to $200,000 a year in gold over its receipts to the British Government.

Vhis amount wc wese compelled to pay by an old postal treaty which expires in January next, and which the Postmaster General has refused to continun. The rate heretofore by the Cunard lino has been twelve cents in specie for a single letter. The Postmaster-General doemmg the price exorbitant, advertised for proposals to carry tho malls.

The owners of the Cunard line refused to bid, but two other lines entered into a contract, agreeing to transport all foreign letter mails at fifteon cents an ounce, making the cost per letter five cents. Books, papers and other printed matter at six cents per pound, payable in currency, giving threo mails per week, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays.

This fact and that of the positive refusal to continue the old treaty under which the Government was paying the British Government $200,000 ingold, causod considerable discussion in the British Parliament, and much comment in English papers.

The result was tho Cunard line now gives indications of coming to terms, which will give us four mails per week to Europe instead of'.two as heretofore, besides an enormous saving in revenues Governor Randall's report shows an unexpended balance of $700,000 available for the currenl fiscal, year, and estimates the deficiency for 1869 at $2,500,000.
