work within the first year. 1 had at
that time grave doubts as to the suc
cess of this movement, not from any
fear that this class of labor would be
again; this soup is made of vegeta
bles, and either salted or fresh meat
boiled with it, cut up in rations of say
one-fourth of a pound for each man,
before hand. There is, as every one
knows, no difficulty of providing, with
our magnificent range of vegetables,
such as soup, every day in the year,
with hardly any other outlay than the
co-t of the meat, and that, every good
farmer ought to raise in abundance.
What a rich domain our country is for
sheep-raising; could we hut do away
with the dogs, by legislative enact
ments ; and what meat is cheaper and
more wholesome than mutton? A
good interval is given for dinner.—
When white laborers are employed
with us, during the long and hottest
days, they should stop the morning’s
work at eleven o’clock for dinner, and
go out at half-past three, working until
eight. Starling at four till eleven, and
from half-past three to eight would be
a good day’s work of eleven hours,
taking off the half hour consumed in
their second breakfast, and wo inav
rest assured that neither employer or
employee, would be hurt by such a sys
tem. It is customary to give a piece
of bread and a drink of light beer to
the laborers at four in the afternoon.
The evening meal varies in summer
and winter. In winter a piece of cheese
and bread ; in summer, often boiled
potatoes, instead of bread, with a lit
tle fried bacon and onions hashed, or,
when to be iiad, a howl of clabber, of
which all laborers arc fond in the sum
mer—are given.
The Sunday varies in this, that soup,
of
tained, fair to the laborer and accepta
ble to the employer generally, in this
State. And to make it an object of
interest, let the wages rise to S12 per
month the second year, if mutual sat
isfaction be given. If the proper peo
ple are brought in, they will be emi
grants with ambition to rise, and, of
course, the employer must not expect
to have them in perpetuity ; but sup
pose, we make it the interest for such
a striving man to tenant, av 50 acres
for us, for a nunih-r of rears, after lie
has saved, l>y his labor, enough to go
into the tenancy, with the prospect
that he can purchase 25 acres after the
term has expired at a rate now fixed;
which will give him the heart to de
vote all his skill, money and attention
upon these 50 acres during the tenan
cy ; the line, at division being run so
that A of best and A of medium land,
goto his purchased portion, the rest back
to the employer, worth, then, at least
300 percent more per acre than now.
For this is the magical effect wherever
new freeholdces settle and teuants are
placed, and another, and as important
a fact will be developed by such striv-
our surprise that such a production
should have found a place in its columns.
Perhaps the best answer to it is to adopt
the Scriptural line of argument, on an ob
durate subject, and “ answer not a fool
according to his folly.” Surely, our con
temporary cannot expect to advance the
claims of Milledgeville, or reverse the
action of the Governor, by such a sense
less tirade.
