DEMAND FOR WHITE LABOR AT THE SOUTH. “In no part of the world does there exist a finer ‘field for white Iabor than the South now presents, and every possible encouragement will be given to the immigration of White laborers. The idea that the former masters of the negroes will take any interest in their future welfare is the merest fal- lacy. White laborers, besides being more efficient and profitable than the negroes, are looked upon as a more substantial basis of political .power and a more enduring source of wealth, virtue and national dignity. Considera- tions of economy, which point to the embar- rassing difficulty and enormous expense involved in the care of the non-producing ele- ments among the negroes, the old and young, favor strongly the choice of white laborers. It is ab- surd to suppose that the former owners will, under the influence of any feelings of sympathy growing out of their former relations to their emancipated negroes, assume the care of the young and help- Jess among them merely for the services of the adult embers of each family. The value of the slaves in Virginia consisted not so much in their actual Iabor as in their natural increase. Their immediate services in the field did not constitute po much the motive of their masters in raising the young as the advantage of securing for their chil- ‘@sen a sufficient force to commence life with. This motive no longer existing, the care of the won-producing class among the negroes has of course no concern for them. Great suffering ‘among that class must be the result, and as a consequence rapid exterm: n, Which the white population will not de it their interest “to arrest. Already some extensive farmers in Virginia have applied tothe military authorities for rations for the helpless negroes who remained with them after emancipation, threatening to send them away in case the rations are not provided. ‘These are the arguments, not of your correspond- vent, but of the late rebel slaveholders of this Christian land of ‘first and only families.”” GENRRAL JOSEPH E. JOHNSTON ATTRIBUTES THE FAILURE OF THE REBEL CAUSE TO DAVIS. General Joseph E. Johnston, in a letter to a friend in this city, remarks that the Southern cause could not have failed with anybody else but Jeff. ey as ite) leader. a cy a Loa baud in ground very ra) , and public sympathy with him is dim’ ishing A proportion as this fact is being realized. Colonel Northrop, Davis’ Com- missary General and peculiar protégé, condemns without reserve the policy which he pursued. The Colonel! says that so disgusted did he become with his whole cause that he refused to speak to him for nearly twelve months before the evacuation of Richmond. He said that at the battle of Drury’s Bloff Davis, who was near the scene of battle, feared to order his generals to change the plan of action, though he knew it to be wrong. The Colo- nel says, moreover, that, for the last twelve months before the close of the war, Davis’ mind was very unsettled, so inuch so that he rarely issued an im- portant order which he did not afterwards counter- mand. He ehanged his opinions constantly, ex- cept in regard to some gencrals who were ob- moxious to him. His hostility to them and his opinions of their inefficiency remained uniform and unabated. &e.

Rroumonp, Va., July 9, 1865. CONCERNING THB NEGRO ELEMENT—WHAT VIR- GINIA'S PUBLIC MEN THINK. From the time of the arrival of his. Excellency Governor Pierpeint in this capital, there has been a‘succession of visitors at the Executive Mansion, comprising most, if not all'of those eminent citi- zens of Virginia remarkable for both public and private worth, and known to be thoroughly appre- hensive of the past and present status of the negro race or element in the South. They all seem to be deeply impressed with the importance of carrying out the views of the Governor in re- gard to reorganization, and freely pledge them- selves to every necessary exertion te aid his plans. It is evident that the masses of the people of Vir- ginia are truly loyal Union men, who would not return to rebel sway if they could. A few malcontents of course remain, but they are wholly without influence. A few old fogy politicians, pestilent preachers and silly women comprise the disloyal element of the State, and my observation convinces me that the copperhead element is far less general here than in some of the Northern States. The federal and State administrations have a strong hold on the affec- tions of the sober, intelligent and well disposed of all classes here. Many of the old secesh office- holders are nervously anxious to have the present restrictions removed, hoping for the halcyon days when they may return to their places of pelf and profit. But the masses of the people are tired of these, and resentful towards them, and they will soon find that, to borrow an expressive army phrase, they are ‘‘played out.’” THE STATUS OF THE NEGRO is a question to the solution of which the atten- tion of the State administration is most earnestly directed. The general impression of the intelli- gent landowners of the State is that the colored ali will soon come to realize the fact that they ave to labor for their daily bread, and that they will in most cases conform without difficulty to the necessities growing out of their altered circum- stances. The next Legislature will pass all laws nesessary for affording complete protection to their rights, both as regards person and property, and they will be encouraged to become useful citi- zens of the commonwealth. The only fear is that the misdirected zeal and interested interference ef pretended friends of the colored man will incite these ignorant people to insubordination and agi- tation, and by exciting prejudice defeat some of the wise purposes of the State Executive devised for their substantial benefit. Many of the more intelligent colored men have yisited the Secretary of State in his office, where they are always kindly received, and they all assure him that they regard the Governor and the Secretary as their best friends, and are perfectly wills to entrust their interests to ‘‘onr Governor.” And yet how strange it is that any friend of the negro at the North unwilling to trust such a man as Francis H. Pi point, whose devotion to the Union and eminent services to the cause in the hour of its greatest peril command the respect and confidence of joyal men everywhere. The Governor is most assuredly master of the situation, and the wisdom of his measures will be manifested in due time. WHAT THE GOVERNOR PROPOSES TO DO FOR THE NEGRO. At an early day Governor Pierpoint proposes to inaugurate & system of protection the civil rights of the negro, and of encouragement to him to become a useful, laboring, law-abiding citizen. The agitators of the freedmen’s rights school pro- pose to make the negro a tool in the hands of worthless demagogues and a drunken, riotous, disorderly member of the body politic, of whom everybody will be anxious to get rid, and that at once. THE VIRGINIA CODE OF 1860. Before the eee of the present Secreta: of State to that office he had been appointed, under an act of the Legislature at Alexandria, to report to the next General Assembly such altera- tions of the code of 1860 as in his 0; n were rendered uisite and necessary by the adoption of the new constitution and the recent legislation of the United States, and known that the Emperor has already agreed to do- pate a thousand acres of land to each actual set- but Maury is understood to have obtained gethions) terms which ps render the rian e at er.

The Virginia State library, which was gotten up great care and at an enormous expense, has been robbed of its most valuable works. A series of valuable books, bought iu of the State. sent for thit purpose, hi or as well a6 many other important stan , Which cannot now be supplied, valoahle it copies of old records of the State, found am the archives of the Se eee at London, were also purloined. These ainents were obtained through a State agent. ‘Mr. Angus Macdonald, was sent to Loudon for the purpose of ascertaining from the colonial vecords the exact boundary line between Virginia. end Maryland. A misunderstanding on this sub- had arisen some years ago between the two tates, Maryland claiming a portion of Accomac county as her right, according to the boundary fine fixed by the commissioners appointed in the early days of the State governments to draw the line of divisions. Inasmuch, however, ay they qere governed by the decisions arrived at under the ‘ccfonial régime, it was deemed advisable, in the absence of any authentic record of the action of the early State commissioners, to go to the feuntain head for the required information. ‘The tesult, it of Mary! pears, was favorable to the clai |. Mr. Macdonald, in his researches the special object of his mission, ered 8 as ginia, which he had literally transcribed. Tne entire work, com- several large volumes, was carefully bound just a6 it was transcribed. The series comprised also a number of maps and surveys both of Mary- land and Virginia, which were ruthlessly torn by the hands of the unscrupulous thieves from the large volume in which they were boand. The Beautiful library is a perfect wreck beyond the possibility of reparation. yy THE OLD VIRGINIA BANKS IN LIQUIDATION. ‘The old Virginia State banks are now in process of liquidation, so that parties who hold their notes {n anticipation of their revival are doomed to dis- pos ent. The notes of these banks will yield more than twenty or twenty-five cents to the dollar, some of them less. The State, being a large stockholder, will lose considerably by the opera+ AN EASY WAY OF PAYING DEBTS. During the last and previous sessions of the rebel ture of Virginia, strenuous effort was le by the friends of some of the leading lines of railroads in the State to obtain the consent of that body to pay off their indebtedness to the State in vebel money. The effort, fortunately for the State, was effectually foiled, for had it auc ceeded she would have lost the most profitable yg of revenue which she had. The returns those sources, if recei would have been off the debt of d at ite nominal value.

RETURN OF THR RICHMOND DELEGATION FROM A Visit TO THE PRESIDENT. ‘Tho committee of citizens of Richmond who left this eity something like @ week since to proceed to Washington for the purpose of conferring with President Johnson in reference to the abrogation of the thirteenth exception to the amnesty proclamation, involving the twenty thousand dollar issue, returned to the city this evening from the national capital. Itis understood that they return ‘with a series of gigantic fleas in their several ears, and it is more than intimated that the President gave them a round and drastic talking to, and that they parted from him disgueted with the tenacity with which he clings to his policy as shadowed forth in his several proclamations. The return of the committee and the announcement of the result of their interview with the President are the talk of the capital to-night, from the Executive Mansion down. ‘there is a wide expression of satisfaction on the part of large numbers that the President stands a0 Jacksonian and firm in develop- ing his policy, while the original inhabitants hero wely nt from this same idea.

MOVEMENTS AND DESIRES OF HENRY A. WISE. Ex-rebel Brigadier General’ Henry Alexander Wise, of Virginia, whilom representative in the United States Congress and Governor of this State, who, as such executive, unlawfully hung John Brown, whose offences—if they were offences— were committed against the sovereignty of the United States, and not against that of the State of Virginia, is at present in this city, sojourning at the residence of his daughter. While at Norfolk, a few days since, General Wise set an application afloat, through the military channels, asking that he might become repossessed of his plantation, situated at Rolliston, a few miles from Norfolk. In his application Wise sets forth thathe is paroled prisoner of war, belonging to the Army of North- ern Virginia, and that he received in due form & paper at the hands of Major General John Gibbon, on the occasion of the final and total surrender of Lee’s army, granting him the privilege of going about “undisturbed and un- molested.”” Wise further alleges that his old home which he seeks has been taken possession of Dy negroes, ‘‘or so-called freedmen,” and for this reason he cannot regain it to himself and family. He therefore asks that he may be put in ‘‘undis- turbed and unmolested” possession of the planta- tion in accordance with the alledged stipulations of his parole, whose spirit, he thinks, includes this feature. THE TREATMENT OF THE APPLICATION. The application will doubtless be denied, for the reason that the premises sought are now used by the Freedmen’s Bureau, and cannot well be dis- pensed with. Brevet Brigadier General O. L. Mann, commanding at Norfolk, and Brevet Major General N. Miles, commanding at Fortress Monroe, have respectively disapproved the paper, the for- mer, partly on the ground that Wise’s title to the property isnot clearly apparent, the supposition eing that it belongs to his brother. It is more than probable that General Wise will have to wan- der yet awile. THE NEW COMMANDS. Major General Charles Devens has been assigned to the command of one of the grand military dis- tricts of the State, with his headquarters at Fred- ericksburg. Major General Curtis has also been assigned to a similar command, with his headquat ters at Lynchburg. These assignments are in a contence with my announcements of some days since. MAJOR GENERAL R. 8. FOSTER has resumed command, on his return from the court for the trial of the conspirators, of the bril- liant First division of the Twenty-fourth army corps. PROFESSOR MAHAN ASSIGNED TO DUTY AT RICH- MOND. Professor D. H. Mahan, LL.D., of the Corps of Instruction at the United States Military Academy, West Point, has arrived in the city and is a guest of Major General A, H. Terry, commanding de- artment, at the Jeff. Davis mansion. Prof. Mahan as come here upder orders from the War Depart- ment to inspect the fortifications around Rich- mond. The vacation at West Point will be con- sumed in this duty, MAJOR PRED. MARTIN, the distinguished Chief Commissary of Musters for the Department of Virginia, now that so many troops are being mustered out—one of the most laborious and exacting positions in the military service has gone to New York for a few days on important business connected with his office. RUMORED YELLOW FEVER AT NORFOLK. Ihave heard, upon what may be deemed sound authority, that there were three well defined cases of es it_ yellow fever in the city of Norfolk last weck. It would be sad indeed to have a pro- longed infliction of this terrible scourge. THE ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY-NINTH NEW YORK VOLUNTEERS, A despatch received at this bureau from Ra- leigh, North Carolina, announces that the One Hundred and Sixty-ninth ‘sw New York State Volunteers, Major Joseph H. Allen commanding, is about to be mustered out of the service of the United States and return to its home in Rensse- laer and Washington counties. The regiment forms part of the brigade commanded by Brigadier General Alonzo Alden, of Troy, and is one of the finest commands in the entire service. POLITICAL FEELING THROUGHOUT THR SOUTHSIDE COUNTIES.

Our Fortress Monroe Correspo: Forrress Mownos, July RAISING THE UNITED STATES FRIGATE CONGRESS, Whether as much time and money will be ex- pended, with the same unsuccessful result, tn try- ing to raise the hull of the United States frigate Cengrees, sunk off Newport’s News in the memo- rable naval engagement there in the early part of the war, as was expended in the attempt to bring to the surface the ruins and treasures of the old British frigate Huzzar, sunk in the waters of Hell Gate, remains to be seen. An enterprising com- pany having the matter in hand, spent several hours upon the wreck. With three steam pumps they managed, in an hour's time, to lower the water in the hold three feet below tide water mark. One of the pumps gave out at the end of this time, and the other two were kept at work, but without gaining any on the water. The work was accordingly abandoned antil the dam- aged pump can be repaired. The men are very confident of final success in their efforts. THE BRITISH FRIGATE STYX. From a visit on board the Styx, and conversa- tion with the officers, I find that the time spent in our waters and intercourse with our people, and travels inland, and study and observation of our institutions and customs, have given them a correct conception of our national greatness and resources. Captain Winston has travelled over several of our States. Nearly all the officers have examined the old army fortifications about Richmond and Peters- burg. e Styx left England March 3, 1862, with one dred and seventy-cight men, besides offi- cers. ere have been but three deaths since she went into commission.

Major jumped up, and cried out, ‘‘T am shot; catch that man,” pointing toward young Burns. The excitement was now intense, The crowd rushed in, while Burns was more fierce than ever to finish the work he had determined to accomplish. To add to the frenzy of the crowd, the mother of the girls now made her appearance, as an accomplice of her son in the work of vengeance. The two then rushed towards the prison- ers; the son with a revolver and knife, the mother with a hatchet, whieh she had until now concealed about her son. ¢ aimed a blow at the head of the elder Kinjor, already suffering from his wounded arm, cutting fatal but for the inter- position of ex-Constable John Scanlan, who interposed in time to break its force. Determined to complete the ‘work now begun, young Burns fired another shot at the same man, taking aim between two officers who were standing near him, the ball this time passing through Major's thigh. him badly. It might have proved The crowd had now largely increased, all deeply sym- pathizing with the mother and son. A rush was made for the prisoners, with the intention of lynching thera on the The cry for vengeance from the frenzied mother and infariated brother was taken up, and it was with the utmost difficulty that the officers removed the risoners to a place of safety. In the confusion young urns got at the younger Major, and some say made an attempt to stab him. John Scanlan caught Burns, and accueed him of having the knife, which he denied; but it was afterwards taken from his pocket. Seeing that the force there was insufficient to guard the lives of the prisoners, word was sent to Captain Haga- dorn, who immediately proceeded to the scene with three officers and speedily restored order. The younger pris- oner had fled for safety, and now sent to the police to say where they could find him, Ho was arrested, as was also Mrs, Burns, the mother of the unfortunate girls, ‘and her son and’ the two Majors were taken to Troy at seven o'clock, The mother of the girls was in so crazed astate that it was deemed necessary to handcuff her, and even then she had to be placed inacart and held by three men. ‘ Patrick Burns, the brother of the girls, was accom- ied to the depot by another sister, who soomed fairly Peeruxiox, ‘and her. weary lamentations as sho tradged bareheaded over the dusty road were mournful indeed, and scarcely one saw her but pitied her. Her sisters had been beaten and outraged by the ruffians, and were suf- foring in their lonely homes; her mother and brother, who had madly attempted to wreak vengeance upon tho were handcuffed and borne off to jail in company witb the hated villains. The un- wise attempt to use unlawfal means to secure satisfac tion, though urged forward by the unreasoning crowd, to the work, nad added to the calamity under which tho family were suffering. The mother and brother, who fought to vindicate by force the good name of daughters with the and executed a vers of their happiness, and sisters, were borne to the same wretches who had deliberately plotte hellish crime. While the attempt ot summary vengeance cannot be Justified in the eye of the law, yet the sympathy of the public will be with the misguided parent and brother, who have thus manifested their deep senso of the enor- mity of the crime and the injury inflicted upon the good name of their family. ‘The iden that a father and son should in company be the perpetrators of such a horrid deed is almost beyond belief.
