The distress of Southern communities at the present time arises mostly from the disorganized system of labor, and until a new system is adjusted the effects will be severely felt, It may take two or more years, This dsorganization of labor strikes at the source of all wealth, agriculture, and even affects the very necesss- vies of life, It is painful to the humane and bevevolently disposed to witness daily the many instances of abject poverty and distress which it is not in their power to re- lieve. In walking atong the streets ths evidences of suf- fering among the former humble laborers and cultivators of the soll make a deep impression: Tho freedmen, however, from not boing habitaated:to ease and Juxuries do not feel their losses so keenly as the whites.

It can hardly be questioned that they will both come. A mew era will havo dawned on Georgia when they do come and are iistened to, as they strely will be, not alone out of curiosity, but tor the sake of the advice and the instruction woich they will give.
