A reac- tion pervades every political circle, and at present all ia involved ip chaog, nothing definite having as yet Deon resolyed upon. The whites are snimated by a total aversion to anything growing out of the recon- Btruction acts of Congrese, and the feeling is @rongly to vote “againat a convention” at the same time they vote for delegates to the Constitutional Con- ‘vention, for whose election General Schofield bas issued @o order prescribing the mode, order, &o, To the Present, however, no delegates of a conservative charac - ‘Yer have been nominated, and if this is not done some @ay before the election takes place the Convention wil! certainty be , as in voting for or against a couven- tion deicgates have also to be voted for.

In the present anomalous condition of the South, when hher gocial system is disorganizea, her jabor inoperative, her political status a nullity, her population sparse, capi- tal—none, and living under a military despotism, Many questions arise which require the gravest delibera- tion from those whose influence will be instrumental in restoring this great and productive section of our country to agricultural, commercial and industrial prosperity. Since the abolition of slavery, and since property hold- s and landed proprietors found themselves without Tabor to cultivate their large estaied or prosecute industrial pursuits of any kind, «@ cry has arisen both North and South to sell the large plantations and divide them among small pur- chasers into small farms. This is now the popular scheme, but it is one that will undoubtedly operate dis- astrously in the South at present, and will become a ‘theory productive of agrarianism, in view of the politi- cal revolution now in progress. The selling of the great estates to small purchasers, If small purchasers could be had with capital to buy in the first instance, and then to successfully cultivate, would no doubt be an advantage in restoring prosperity; but when it is recoliected that 8! attempts to induce immigration of foreigners with ‘ al have failed, and that the piteous and imploring . dg of Southerners for caplial have recoived a cold 1 ~s everywhere, it will be seen tbat the contiaial ’ sei! the thousands of large estates in the South * . .osult im cenfiseation by State governments, under the radicals, and the abolition of poll taxes, to be’ placed ming or cultivation is no exception to the successful, where small onterprises have proved failures. The success of any enterprise must depend polety upon the ability, energy, enterprise and the suc- sessful use of the meana the party possesses, It will be Aliowed that the principles by which ali individual pur- guile are controlled will also apply to agriculiure in the Bouth, and that the successful cultivation of a large plan- tation must depoud ve the amount of capital expend. edand the energy of the ‘ty, and a careful consider- ation of the matier will show that in the South large @siates can be more advantageously cultivated than Small ones, Certain circumstances, as regards faci in the way of labor, climate, productiveness of t and convenience to protitable markets, will considerably tmduence the question of small or large farms, of which the ical man would not be slow to take advantage, Dut ina Buccensful ‘and practice will fully demon- In former days the bloody war had thie rich and fertile portion of ucts trom which untold wealth ‘was amassed, and from which the revenues of the nation Gerived their greatest incom = sugar, and it is from t!

With the inc expense decreases, and in small enterprises ti hhas always been found to be greater in tion to the amounted invested, Thus, w looking to the vast plantar and of the South, where cotton, rice, segar and tobacco are the products, It wili at once be apparent that the oniy hope for their successful cultivation once more is not to sell them in patebes, but eijiher to retain them in Eimeeston of prosent owners or to sell them to cupitdl- who are able to purchase an eni’re eiate and cuiti- vate it, None of them can be curried on without the aid of steam, in the gin house, the rice mill or the sugar mill, and the plaster or manager, @ do this, will require capital, and plenty of it too, Hore is the real waot of te South this timo—capital.

At Richmond, Alley- ton, Columbus, Gonzales, Sau Antonio, New Braunfels, Austin, Waes and Bartrop, I encountered occasional casos of ibe disease, most of which were fatal; but as they wero persons who had contracted the disease in Galveston, or where it was known to be epidemic, no fear was foit as to iis spreading, and in fact’ the people of all these places cons.dered that there was perfect immunity from the disease so far from the eeacoast, La Grange was the first inland town where I found any symptoms of gone- ral alarm, ‘There had been three or tour deaths of per- scoming from jafected towns, and two of old resi- dents who nad vot ben away from home and ouly ex- posed to infection from the cases brought there. The night I arrived two additional residents died at Patten's Hotel, where 1 was topping. One of the persons dying occupied a room directly opposite mine As usual in this hot climate, and jin the absence of transoms over the doors, I slept with my room door wide open, as did nearly everybody else, including the occupant of the opposite room, ‘The first ‘intymation I had of my oppo. sito neighbor having died of yellow fever was the an- houncement by the colored charmbermaid ia the morn- ing. The news spread like wildfire, Jt wae not many hours before hundreds of people were hurrying away to the woods ia carriages, mule wagons, carts drawn by oxen, on horseback and on foot, Most remained long enough to gather together blankets, provisions and facil- ities for cooking, preliminary to camping in the woods ; bat many, in their terror and hasty flight, left every: thing behind them, The general consternation was greatly intensified by the rumors reaching town of a fearful breaking out of the disease at Hempstead, Navasota and other towns near by. I am frank enough to say that it required a good deal of plilosophy and nerve not to be affected by the gene- ral alarm. But I considered then, and atiil consider, a calm and resolute cvolness the most potent auxiliary to ward off the dis-ace. And let me say, in this connec- tion, that through stubborn shaking off of all fear, unin- terrupted taking of towel bathe in the morning, caretul avoidance of exposure to the sun during the day, unie s protected by an umbrella, keeping ont (he damp night air, drinking tea instead of coffee, and no water except rain water, I have managed, tbus far, to keep entirely well, and hope to do so to the end of my journey, and tix though upacclimated, and though spe my first summer south, in & season unparalleled extent of sickness and universality of chills termittent and congestion fevera, and the whole family, in fact, of febrile diweases, A Ike degree of caution ex- ercised by others that I mapped out for myself and havo rigialy puraued, I feel confident would be followed by @ like result, Though thie suggestion might possibly be greatly advantageous in the future, it ean be of little avail, however, now, The digeaso Is hero in all ite terrors, and {in ali thé towns about , and it is slaying ite hundreds daily. Though endowed with no reliahing taste for the horrivle, I bave get out in clear and intelligible phrase to picture u isease as it is, and beside aoc, my duty as @ correspondent in laying the facta before the people, cherish the hope that through the statements I am making the sympathetic hoarte of the people of the North, whom the good fortune of a more temperate cli- mate exempts from this d may be more deeply moved than they have been and incited to more gene- ral and liberal to the Macedonian cry for help. It is, an a om feenee for help; a cry for doctors, nurses, jee, ‘elllee and such needed luxuries as ouly Oe ee te At Brenham and Hempstead I found matters not so bad as I anticipated; Dut at both these places the disease has obtained a firm foothold. Large numbers have died and there are atiil Jarge numbers on the sick list, Among the doctors there bas been a wonderfui fatality, The Howard Associations are doing all they cam, but they lack the material to work with, The same atate of rs, Tam told, exiets at Cbapei Hill, Millican and Anderson, Many have fled to the woods, but the disease follows them there, aud every day tl smay and alarm are becoming mor bey 3 spread. Altogether the ecouo is indescribable. At Navasota, @ town of only two hotels anda few storoa, and in ordinary times but few hundred inbabitant there were seventeen deaths the day before I arrived. siaid here but one night. Mauy had fled to the woods, The Loftin Hotel was still open for the accommodation ot stage passengers; but only the landlady and two colored womea remained to care forthe guests, Tho two doctors of the town—Dre. Jones and Busby—were dead. One of the ministers was dead. The only apothe- cary im the town was di There was a great lack of nurses, no doctors and no medicines, It was hard to get the dead buried. Those who remained to take care of the sick did itin a spirit of noble martyrdom, Th first cases of yellow fever in Huntsyi'le were in tho State Prison, which is here, These cases were parties who had contracted the disease ta Galveston, Jt was thought aud hoped the disease would not sproad; but the hope proved au ilingory one. Following the example of other mlaud seems whire the Gienans bab once itself, jarge nam- bers have already sought safety in fight, been so dozen deaths only among the town people; bat these are enough to create @ pauic. One hotel has already closed, and the stores and places of busl- neas are being shat up. The great apprehension here, ag in the other amaller towns, ts from jack of purses, the larger cities and towns having absorbed tho most of them. But I will not dwell on the melancholy picture as it now presenta itself, much less to draw tho vail from before the dark and uncertain future. If the disease lingers aud spreads as it now threatens, it will not be long before this, one of the most beautiful, en- terpriaing and tbriving inland towna in the State, vor. rd wheitmed in gloom, every kind of busin ruspond i aply of pupils an the prison doors our humdrod occa. pants of the State pi the best is bein; done that ean be for the sick and to stay the progress the disease, A Howard Association has been established, aud nurses and help, as I am now informed is the case in the lower towns, are being seat from Galveston and Houston.

Fully double the rain has fallen this year that bas in late years, pro- di*posing to the disease becoming widespread.
