A New "Landed Aristocracy" at the South.
A soldier correspondent of the New York Times. writing from Port Royal, S. C., alludes to the sale of confiscated lands in that department as follows:‘ I wish you would protest against the land sales as conducted in this department. We are righting to put down one land aristocracy, and we ought not at the same time to build up another. I fear the colored men would not be mean benefitted by the change. There is no chance for competition in sales, as there is no chance for any one but Government officials and military officers, and a few Northern harpers, to become acquainted with the lands or to attend the sales. Consequently a few of the best plantations are sold for a song, and the others are bid in by the Government.
