A number of Southern merchants and Southern men Interested in the Southern trade were on hund early tu the morning, and mingled with the dusky passengers to persuade then to return to the plantations where they ore so much needed, The proclamation of ihe Mayor was alsu circulated to them, and every effort made to open thelr eyes to the rough ex- perience that inevitably awaited them should they continuo in their course, A strong force of police was also on hand to look after the horda of scalpers und hand-cart- men, inostly colored, who were ready to move the baggage of the immigrants. The polico mingled with the throng, warning all to look out for sharpers, and also endeavoring to dis- uado them from thelr unpromising journoy westward, The negroes appeared to be utterly destitute of kdeas as to their future course. There scems to be no particular {dea of purpose in the more- ment, excent to get away from the South, Tho class of negroes included {s, for the most part, n very poor and ignorant one. Few of them have ever been off the plantations of the neigh- borhoods they hayo just left, and they have no’ more idea of whut golng to Kansas means than they would hinve about a proposition to take the traditfonal voyace across the Styx. They do not like the cold weather, however, und, os a conse- quence, & considerable number who have no money have concluded to accept the offer of the transportation companies for free pasaaze, ani they will accordingly go back at the earliest on- portunity, ‘This number [3 not very large, how- over, and, according to present fndications, prob ably a considerable number of those who haye been for several days llving {v the western part of the elty are ready to yo back by this tlme, and the return tide nay set fu at any time, It is positively stated from the West that there Is io demand for this class of fmmigants in Kansos, Beyond an occassional farm hand or herdsman none of them will be able tu find em- ployment, and a very fow have enough money to start work on thelr own account a6 farmers, ‘Ther whole Ife and education entirely unilt them for a useful career in Kansas, Exceptional instances there are of men amon thesu people who will, no doubt, get along well enough auy- where.

Noneof the negroes will go back unless driven to do so by starvation. ‘They are Improssed with a strong determination and desire to get away from the South. The full history of the aevolopinent of this feellng will vrobably be found to embrace sonre bad management on the part of Southern planters, but mora largely tha bower of discontented negro politicians to work upon thutniginations and prejudices of an {gno- rant and unfortunate race, ‘The exodus has undoubtedly assumed propor- Hons far greater than anybody anticipated, and now extends to a very long stretch of river coun- ty.

Let one start, and ail the reat will follow alter, pell-mell. Of course this has created alarm among the plautors, likewise among the creditors of the blanters in St, Louis. But another and ujMculy phase of the labor problem has tobe met. Ac cording to information brought out in connec: ton with thie movement, the planters used to hire the negroes fur wages, but the Atrican soon asplred to become hia own muster, und a syetem was adopted by which they worked the Jatids on shares. ‘This was not siflictontly independent, ag a divide was required between the white lund- Jord and colored tenant, 6o they changed to the nystein of rentals by whiel’ the blacks took leases of the hind at from $7 to 810 an acre. A crop or two failed, and aa the negro rarely saves anything ina good year to carry hin through a bad one, it is euay fu euch a stato of affuirs for designing persons to induce them to. teavo the country. in fact, those who have ur- rived here scemed to have been stimulated {fn thelr cagernesa to leave the South by finding thut the whites ure anxious to have thein stay, and others are crowing aver the fact that the withdrawal of so inany negroes from the South will make good times for those that remaln. Ono of the complaints mado against the man- accment of the Southern planters (4 tut they not only charge high rentals, but that they allow a kind of storekeeper on every large plantation, Usually a Jew, who credits the negro during tha season, selling them all thelr supplies at prices proportionate tu thu rlak. Of course the result of such a state of afuirs is not hard to see, When the time to gather the crop comes ths crop belongs to the storekeeper. ‘This is often the case, 1814 claimed, to buch an extort that the negroes don't find it worth while to cather the crop ut all. ‘The establishinent of this system was Inalated on by the lately cnufrauchised, who only aav In ie the means of gotting everything they wanted ou credit, They ure so wedded to it now that the planters could not abolish it if they desired to, > A Southern Papor on'to Nogro Migration, Vickabury (Miss) Herat (Den.), March 12, We bad o call yesterday from Mine, L, J.
