DECEMBER 27. 1SU7. Vrplorablc Condition of the South. The Cincinnati Gazette has the following account of the deplorable condition of af . fairs in Mississippi: "The state of tiling in apyaltin;;. Undress, want, and misery aro even now utalking abroad. What it may come to in tun dead of winter God only knows.. J'.vtry kind of busine here in proa trated. Punt rti aro bankrupts Ly tiii failuro of tho crops, and involve tho merchants , ad vanced fr them on tho strength f tl.o growing crop. Iho d stress here will be equal, I am afraid, to the IrUh famine of 1847 and IbPi. I an- ware you, you never saw such a diHtreH-d and ruined people as tbe pcoplo of Miusissipi i." It gives but littlo pleasure in this season o! merry-makiog to imbli.sh such uuwtl come facts as aro contained in tho above extract, or to contemplato how truo t picture is of the whole South. In proof of the reliance to bo placed in the above state ment, wo publis-h elsewhere a startling offi cial report of General Gillem,. of the Frcedman's Bureau, to General Od, touching tho distress prevailing among the blacks, and tho reasonable apprehensions prevailing among tho whites of Mississip pi, in conseqnenco of the failure of this yearls crop and tho demoralization among negroes, caused by tho incendiary teach ings of political missionaries and placc hnntcrs. Wo invito the careful attention of tho30 white men whose labors aru rapid ly bringing about the same stato of affairs here, to this report of General Gillem. This report, coming from tho sonrco it docs, teaches ono of tho gravest lessons yet presented ty our political troubles, ana is tho best vindication of tho President and condemnation of Congress ever penned. The entire abrogation of all fixed or relia ble system of labor, tho truthful picture of tho thriftless, ignorant and credulous char acter of tho blacks, and tho wido-uprcud and dangerous belief of early confiscation with which itinerant politicians have filled the minds of this population, as fearfully depicted by this Bureau agent, present a condition of affairs which demands the im mediate attention of every patriotic man in tho Union. Without means, without tho disposition ' or tho opportunity to work, cuny and wil ling victims of dcop-laid .schemes of dis rcputaoio political managers, tuo negro population of Mississippi, oul-uumberiug the whites, aro ready to adopt any resort to keep body aud soul together. Itetween plunder and starvation thcro can bo but ono choice. Whilo on tho other hand, the whites, with barely enough laid up to pro vido food and raiment for themselves, with no ability and little disposition to nttemp more in tho coming year than merely to make a Biipport, havo nothing to give, and will protect with life tho litllo they havo, This condition of affairs very naturally loads General GiLi.r.M to "fear collisions, the extent and results of, which it is diffi cult to surmise." In support of theso statements aud opin ions of his subordinate, the editor of the Now York If'raJdhsia been show n a private letter from General Om, Commander o tho Fourth Military Uiblriet, embracing tho States of Mi.ssLsMppi and Arkansas, in which ho says that tho c ondition of affairs in tho cotton States calls for tho immediate attention 01 congress ; that a 1 amino is already upon the negroes ; that in many counties in his District tho planters are removing their families from fear ; that the whitos aro abandoning .tho rich cotton sec tions whero the blacks aro largely in the majority ; that theto blacks, having uoth ing, or next to nothing, of their own, are living on tho property of others, and on what they can thoot in tho woods or catch in tho rivers or creeks ; that ho is daily in receipt of petitions for protection from towns and villages ; that in Mississippi it is not a question of votes, but bread ; tha if Congress will employ theso idle and des titute negroes and feed them for their work on the river levees, broken and destroyed daring tho war, or on railroads, canals, anything, a war of races may bo prevented, He says, in effect, that in tho cotton dis tricts, with the failuro of tho staple as compensating product, there aro more nc grocs than can bo sustained, and that sonic thing must be done for them. This picture is not overdrawn for many other portions of the South besides Missis sippi. In those portions of this Stato where tho soil and climate havo served to bring together largo bodies of negroes, tho dis tress is as great and the dangers as immi nent. Even beforo tho year is ended, and when a largo portion of tho blacks yet re main to be paid a part of their earnings for tho past year, crimo has increased to such an extent as to causa tho greatest concern. Ftom those sections wo learn that not more than ono-half or one-third of the negroes can find employment at rates much re duced from those prevailing last winter. The provisions on hand can hardly Support the white population until another harvest the want of means prevents, if tho govern ment tax and price of cotton did not deter, the farmers from going largely into the production of the only fltaplo to which their sou is well adapted, and which their own experience renders them better qualified to cultivate. Under the influence of hunger, crimccommittcd under the tutelage of bad men, or induced by cupidity, will grow in number ana in boldness. The whites, barely able to provido for theix families. and fearful of their lives, will bo quick and sure to protect themselves, if not to antici fate evil. General Oku is right Unloss . the Gov ernment makes somo provision for these starving blacks there must be serious trouble. Some employment most bo given " and some discipline introduced in their management or they will prove ft' curse to the country to1 which, they haye been a blensing. j Congress Las rendered them worthless ind thriftless it has made them an incubns npun tho Eouthrru States, and tbo iuterciif., if -not tho yerj life, of the na tion deniaaids that some eare be taken of them. They cannot support themselves : w a and the Southern pcor.lo cannot help thera. Let CoDgrjrss givo up its idea of Southern reconstruction, by mc-mia of negro Mimi-re- niacy, a? nl proved failure turn its alten 4ion to the weJfaic of tho blacks and of the country imd all may yet bo well- but if it insists upon ita programme, mo know their schemes will go down in disgrace wu ft ar they will end in blood.

The rc-suit is tho buaucial ruin or Hie planter and capi talist and discontent of the laborer. In cases where laborers worked for slated wages there is but liUlo complaint or discontent on the part of lho frctdmcn, ronumeration having gen erally beeu received by tho laborer either ia uiouey or supplies, or if not paid tho claim can be easily CHtabJished or adjudicated, and if tho planter has the means tho claim can no collected. Where the laborer has worked for a eharc of tho crop eudleys litigation bas been tho consequence. The laborer, being without ; means, lias Knerally been fur niahtd tho noccttsary supplies by the planter or on bis security, va eatnoiinc; me crop it bas m a majority of cases been ascertained that the tharo of tho laborer noes not pay nis indebtedness for supplies advaneed, and instead of receiving a divi dend be is in ddbt. This causos great discontent and a conviction, perhaps well founded in some instances, of dibhoncsty and false accounts on the part of the planters, but tins cannot generally be tho case Instances have occurred where the DUntcrs have entirely abandoned the crop to tbe laborers, losing their time, thu use of their ani mals aud imiAuments and tho supplies advanced. Cases have been brought to my attention of plant ing wbero not wuy tno enure crop lias been turr.al over to tho laborrrs to satisfy their claims, but alao tho miues aud implements used in its production. Tliv result of this condition of affairs i.i the almost univcraHl determination of planters to abandon tLe cuIluro 01 eollon, and eTeti it they wished, to prospoute it another year it would, J. apprehend, be impossible for them to procure lurtutr advance oi tno noeeBttary supplies from any merchant, ho prevalent is the conviction that cotton cannot bo produced, at the present prices. Tho next year the land iu cultivation will bo al most entirely devoted to com, which requires but about one-tilth jnf the labor demanded by cotton ; thcrcforo tour-jfifths of tbe laborer required last yoarwill be thrown out of employment, and of course there will bo a corresponding decrease of wboh. , Jlns the ireodmcu do not appreciate, considering it he result of a combination to de fraud them t juhatthey consider lust wages. Tho conscquottce is, they almost universally de cline entering into contracts for tho year lStjs on terms ollcred b planters. The crop cf IHG7 having been gathered, the frerdmen arc now ldlo and without, in a great majority of instances, tho means of support. The result is groat complaints from every section of tho Mate td depredations being; committed on stock, bogs, slu'cp aud cattle. This is now the eonditiou of HtT4irs in the bUteof Mississippi. Farmers aioilhout, means, having little left them except their Linda. Capitalists boyond the limits of tin- Blaie refuso to make advances from the unsettled condition of stUirs. The fieedmen being to a great extent discontented, refuse to enter into contracts for the coming year. The remody to be nipplied demands uioct thorough ami immediate consideration, for the miltarv. cither through! tho commander of troops or agents of tho Duieau to reach all sections of the State, to Bee that all peraona ablo to ta n their support arc compelled to do so, aud that all those who do labor receive compensation for the same. is simply impossible. Tho care of the poor and tho duty of becing tbat contracts are faithfully exocutca property aovoive3upon tne local niagis tratos and higher courts. llow far it is j safe, under tho peculiar condi tion of a tilth's existing in this Htate, to trust the civil authorities with this duty,' it is for you, to whom tno act creating mm ifistnct intrusts " the security of the life and property," to judge. To empower tne local magistrates 10 arrest as va- grants all portions without visiblo means of sun cort, would no jdoubt lead to acts of injustice ; but the civil authorities, being recognized and intrusted witn tno execution oi tbe civil law. col loction of taxes and tha caro of the poor, it would seem to be a necessary consequence that, as a protection to tlw community, they ehould Lave authority to compel all who aro able to support themselves, ami thus prevent them from becom ing a burden upon the community. To deny the civil authorities the exerciso of this right, is to place the freedmen above tbe recognized govern ment of the State. It is a matter of very grave doubt whether, in the present condition of affairs, the civil author ities, unaided bj tho military, will be able to main tain order and execute the law. Civil process can only bo servod in the ordinary manner where ouenuers are tne exception ana tne law is sus tained by pubho opinion; but in the present ruiueu conumou oi moor in uus siaie, mousanas are witnout labor, anu must subsist; consequent Jy, depredation is the rule and honesty the excep tion, while, on the other hand, to treat as va grants four-fifths of the community ia simply impracucauic. ; lsut these arei matters lor your consideration and of the law making power rather than for me, whoso function are eutirely executive, and to von I submit the cane merely with the surmise that it wtll bo impossible to inaugurate any sys tem for tno rents! oi tuo biacts which is nnani mously approved by the whites. There is another subject worthy of atteution in this connection. There seems to be a widespread belief, which is daily increasing among the freed men, that the land in this State ia to bo divided and distributed among them, and in some sections of the Htato this illusion is assuming a practical form, by tho freedmen refusing to contract for tbe next year, or to leavo the premises they have cultivated this tear. It is to bo feared that this course, induced by evil disposed advisers, may lead to collisions, the L l .1 U a i - , ... . ...... ,. . ciu ui nu rceun ui wmcu 11 is Uimcuit to eur- misc. ! 1 receivo almdst daily petiliaos and memorials asserting the existence of of ganized companies of freedmen and asking the presence and protec tion of troops, and although I am satisfied that theso representations are generally the result of fear and exaggerated rumors, yet the existence of such organizations in some sections of the State ia certain. Commanders of troops and agents of the Bureau havo been instructed to urge upon tho freedmen the absolute necessity of abstaining from armed demonstrations ; that they will bo protected in all their rights, but that they must not seek redress by force or violence. In order to avoid as far as possiblo bringing tho races in collision with each other, I have advised that whenever practicable the "posse' summoned to assist in on arrest shall be of tho same raco as tho nonon arrested.
