Jttfhriumd Dispatch. MONDAY MAT 21, 1866. The New World of Farming. The great revolution which has taken place in our system of labor forces upon the agricultural community an entire new system of farming. To them there must be a new heaven and a new earth. All old customs must be abolished, and new regulations and rules must take their place. Tho annihilation of the property in slaves is only inconvenient with reference to the credit that property gave its owner, or to its convertibility into money. But considered as mere labor, the change of its character is no loss whatever. As slave, it was, indeed, more expensive than as free. The owner had the charge of all the helpless and unproductive part of the community - i.e. the women, children, and aged. This more than counterbalanced any gain of the system compared with free labor (from the able-bodied and productive part of the slaves. If we bring ourselves to look upon the subject in this light- which is the true one- we may proceed to adapt ourselves to the revolution in labor with more cheerfulness and energy. In the agriculture of free labor there must be close economy ? an economy marked by accountability and accurate settlements. I?abor must l?c promptly paid and results regularly ascertained, so that a man will know well what he is doing, what he has made, or what he has lost. This will force him into the adoption of such a system as will insure the greatest vigilance and the smallest degree of waste and extravagance. The leading measures for this purpose may l>e thus stated: Beginning at the dwelling, that must be so arranged, and the system of house-keep, ing so retrenched, as to diminish the number of attendants to as few as possible and to promote the convenience and dispatch of the household economy. For, under the new system, men will be altogether unable to keep as many servants sis heretofore lounging idly about, some of them doing little more than to black a pair of shoes in aday. It is true this unavoidable economy may diminish the unrestrained and hearty hospitality w? characteristic of Virginia homes heretofore ; but since it is inevitable, we should have the resolution and self-denial to acquiesce and to acquit ourselves in a creditable manner with energy and constancy. Every man should provide apartments ? sufficiently near 'his own residence for his supervision, and sufficiently far oil' to preserve a proper respect ? for the habitation of laborers. Those apartments should be so arranged as to be comfortable and to enable the laborers who ought to be separate to be so ; and in that way to encourage something like order and self-respect among them. They will be all the better

of it. The garners, the stables, the sheds for agikultnral implements, w'agons and gear should l>e near the dwell in?, and should Inkept in order. The way to theiu should be short and good, so that the waster or his sons may go at all seasons without discomfort, to look after things and to saddle and harness their own horses ; for this will become a matter of economy, if not of necessity, as the hired labor should be more profitably employed. With these departments thus compacted, and under proper economy, things should goon beautifully and without v.aste or extravagance. The labor would be at call ; the grain, provender, and all supplies, under the eye; the gear and the implements sheltered and kept iu order; the stables cleanly, and their occupants cared for. Next, as to animals. Not one more than needed should be kept. There should be a few horses, well-kept, strong, aud always in good order. There should be no more cattle than necessary for supplying milk and butter, and an occasional beef for the family, unless the farm be a grazing farm ; i aud then everybody knows what would be I needed for that. But any other farm should have no more of horses, ct>ws, sheep, and hogs, than can be kept well and hi j good order without impoverishing the Holds j by too close grazing. It is better to graze but little and feed under shelter a great deal. The wretched sight of miserably poor cattle, dragging their feeble frames over blasted and impoverished fields, Is enough to drive a man out of the land. There is no picture so like Famine. Lastly, reduce the surface cultivated to a boundary fully within the power of the labor employed to cultivate it well, and cultivate it upon a plan of vigorous improvement. The fields should have that improvement, either through rest or proper manuring, to bring them soon to that degree of fertility which will alone repay the owner for cultivation with hired labor, lie cannot now find the means of making up his annual deficit? his yearly back- j sliding in the matter of receipts and ex- j peuses ? in the iucrease of his slaves. He cannot uow make up the lee-way occasioned by the feeding of many mouths from an exliausted farm by the occasional sale of a negro. He must make his expenses out of the ground, and that only. He will not be ablo or willing to pay taxes on gullied and galled fields, that, like a spavined and wmd-broken jade, can yield uo service, aud is only a nuisance, llis land must be good for some immediate use. If he can't B^ke it so, he must sell it, and let some one else try it. These are only leading points, iu which us re or mat ion must take place, if we hope tor any profitable agriculture in Virgin a. If buch a change is made, there be more economy and lew. waste and extravagance than at any former time, and therefore more clear profit to farmers than ! they have at any previous day derived from their noble occupation. It i? true there are many views of the olden time that sadden the memory when we think of them and know that such will never come to us again; but if we are true men we will not diminish our zeal or our industry to make the most out of our present situation, and to do all we can collectively aud individually for the promotion of the order, comfort, and prosperity of our beloved country. IfortaJity Among Black Soldiers. Out of the Pederal army of 2,688,523 wen arrayed against the south during the *te war, 9,408,103 left the army alive. died op the field or io hospitals. J*? person# art imported to have died of aiNisefor every ope who fell In tettle. In I

tho Crimean war, ievrn.clghths of *>| mortality of tho British t roof s during the entire campaign were due to disease ; and only one-eighth from wound* received in action. The comparison between the mortality among while ftoldicrs and that amongst the blacks in quite remarkable. Number of whites enlisted, almost exactly 2,000,000. Number of deaths, 251,122, or one in ten. The number of colored troops, 180,000, of whom died, or al*>ut one in sir. The mortality among the blacks was nearly 1 double that among the whites, but the con- j trast as to those who died of disease is still more striking : Out of every eight deaths among the whites, three died on the : battle-field, and five from disease. Out of every nine deaths among the blacks, one died on the field of battle, and eujht from distant. The negrophilists at the north attribute this disparity to the fact that the i black man had been enfeebled by slavery. ! There could be nothing more false. No : man who has any respect for his veracity, and who is not a madman, will have the . hardihood to deny that the African, under I the beneficent influence of southern slavery, had attained to a degree of physical ! strength and energy, and hail acquired n resolution and manhood never attained by J him in his native land. The late southern slave can drive before him, at will, three or five to one, the aborigines of his latherland. Thk Kkholi'Tions Adopteo bt tiik Al.KX- i i an nKi a Convention. ? Our telegram of Saturday morning merely stated that the | resolutions of the committee were revised | and adopted. The revision made thoj roughly changed the preamble and the first ! resolution, which we therefore publish | below : 44 Whereas, while we rejoice that the executive and legislative branches of the Government both profess to desire the establishment of the great principle that those only who arc loyal should be consulted in the reorganization of the State ; governments for those States lately in rebellion, and both at different times have expressed their approbation of a provision of law extending the right of suffrage to the colored race; therefore 44 Jteaolwd, That no reorganized State government of Virginia should be recognized by the Government of the United States which does not exclude from suf- ! frage and holding office, at least for a term ! of years, all persons who have voluntarily given moral or material support to rebcl- | lion against the United States, and which : does not, with such disfranchisement, pro- ! vide tor the immediate enfranchisement of all Union men, without distinction of color So that negro suffrage is one of the | planks in the platform of the 44 Union" party of Virginia. 44 Whom the g<?ds would i destroy they first make mad."

| Mk. and Negro Suffrage. ? It 1 appears from the report in the Alexandria i Guzdle of the last day's proceedings of the Lipscomb Convention that Mr. Botts lias no objection to negro suffrage, lie voted against the proposition to allow negroes to vote, hnt j said that if he conld be assured the people : from whom the party had to obtain its support would .sanction the resolution, he would vote for it too. The Personnel of tiie Alexandria Convention. ? There were about sixty persons who voted in this Convention, and though seventeen counties were asserted to be represented, many of those seventeen had only one representative, and many of the representatives stated that they had come, as they expressed it, "on their own hook,"' and without being delegated to come by any vote or voters in their re- ! spective counties. Of the entire number present not more than a dozen were born in Virginia, and a more ordinary-looking i body of men we never beheld. Of the intellectual and educational attainments | of the convention, all who attended its sessions have, to say the least, by no means an exalted opinion. ? Alexandria Gazette, LirscOMn's Last Speech. ? Mr. Lipscomb, of Richmond, said that he was born with a silver spoon iu his mouth; his father was rich in slaves, and yet he was compelled through necessity to go to a trade within his father's county. lie remained in Richmond during the rebellion, and did not vote for secession, and would have died first. There were only two sides to the question ? for and against negro suffrage, j lie was for it. ? Alexandria Gazette, , ' Mr. Davis Exonerated hy His Bitterest Enemies. ? The New York Times makes j the following announcement, which will not surprise any man who knows Mr. Davis, so far as the fact is concerned, though it may surprise them to learn that Radicals in the House of Representatives have even so much gracc left : 44 It is reported upon good authority that the Judiciary Committee have come to the conclusion that the evidence produced before them does not warrant the charge that Jeff. Davis is guilty of complicity in the assassination of Mr. Lincoln." The Fortress Monroe correspondent of the Herald says : 44 Mr. Davis expressed great surprise at the brevity and comparative simplicity of the indictment. lie evidently expected to find it a much more elaborate paper, and embodying a great multiplicity of charges against him, including not only the grave one of inciting and directing the rebellion, but the grave accusations of instigating the assassination of President Lincoln, conducting the Canada raids, setting on foot the wholesale incendiary schemes against northern cities, authorizing and controlling the piratical expeditions on the high seas that played such havoc with our maritime commerce, counselling and abetting the inhumanities practiced upon our prisoners ? in short, as being the head and front and impersonation of the rebellion, and all the battles and loss of lives and waste of money, and sufferings and miseries growing out of it. Seeing but the single count that is brought against him, I am assured, gives him more abiding hope of a favorable result to himself in his coming trial. Each day only increases his anxiety for the speedy approach of the time of his trial." Making Treason Odious.? During the discussion at the Alexandria Convention , to-day it was authoritatively stated that j Mr. Godwin, the recently-appointed naval officer for the port of Norfolk, held aclerkshipin Washington before the war, which he resigned to go to Richmond, and served twelve months in the rebel army. The incident was cited to illustrate that, while Congress is striving to make treason a crime, the President, contrary to all his antecedents, in parading the act of rebellion as a very respectable but injudicious undertakiug. ? y*w York Tribune. Poisoning Flour. ? It is said that about half the mill-owners in Orange county, New York, have beeu in the habit of filling up cavities in their burr-stoncs with lead instead of cement. As a consequence, flour ground by several of them is poisonous. The sum of fifteen thousand dollars has been subscribed in England as ? testimonial of ex-Lieutenant M. F, Maury, late of the *' Confederacy."

It Rives the undersigned great pleasure to inform the public that, with liberal expenditures by the proprietors, the attractions for the ensuing season will be such as to gratify both the invalid and those in search of pleasure. The principal buildings are extensive and substantial, and, with beautiful cottages, will furnish comfortable accommodations tor three hundred visitors. They have all been painted^ and put in thorough repair, and the Bedding and Furniture in ever)* department is new. The medicinal virtues of the waters are so generally and favorably known that it would be superfluous to enter into an elaborate statement on that subject; their efficacy is attested by numbers who have found relief at* this fountain of health from some of the most distressing maladies to which the human family is subject. For a detailed and particular account of the properties of the waters and their effects, reference is made to a pamphlet to be had on application In person or by letter to Messrs. PURCELL, LAD.D & CO., Richmond, who will always have a supply of the water for sale. Complete arrangements have been made for Hot and Cold, Spout and Shower Baths, und Plunge Baths ; and in addition to the mineral waters, an abundant supply of the purest freestone water has been brought from a spring in the mountains, a mile distant, and at an elevation of a thousand feet. Every advantage has been taken of the flow of water to arrange for the comfort of visitors. These Springs are delightfully situated in Bath county, surrounded by the most "beautiful and picturesque scenery, and present altogether attractions at least equal to any place in tlie mountains of Virginia, occupying a central position in the group of mineral springs for which this portion of Virginia is so iustlv celebrated.
