VIEWS OF A GEORGIA PLANTER,
A fow days ngo I won talking with a Georgia
planter about matters and things. This plan-
tor had a thousand broad acres cultivated by
Iiis "lato slaves,” whom ho spoke of as tho
"happiest people ou earth.” They were, iu
fact, happier tlmu ho, for they could not bob so
far ahead, aud the fact that they would bo re
duced to moat once a day beforo theoudof Hum
mer had not ocourrcd to them. The effect of
the war in Europo hud not reached their plan
tation, but was coming.
This planter was very gloomy about tho war,
in fact mad that there should bo ono. "Can't
the confounded fools sottlo their differences
without upsetting us in this wny? Why should
I bo made to pay 30 per cent, extra for corn
and flour and thou havo twenty percent, knock
ed off my cotton, all ou account of a lot of cut
throats iu Europo?”
Alus, my planter, all tho world are kin, and
au nnhcnval like this iu Europo affects every
man who breathes air. Tho loaf which tho ba
ker now briugs you is smaller in size or higher
iu prico, or both.
Tho planter was sad, aud saw no prosperity
for tho t-outh ns long ns tho war lasted. It hns
he said, raised the price of tho provisions he was
compelled to buy 30 per cent., and knocked 20
per cent, off tho only thing ho had to soli—cot
ton.
A moment’s reflection will show how and why
this war will be a severe blow to material inter
ests in tho cotton Slates. The provisions they
are compelled to buy go up, and cottou, whioh
is tho only thing they havo to sell, goes down.
And the longer tho war laHts the moro depress
ing will its influence bo in the cottou States.
In Columbia, South Carolina, I talked with a
colored laborer, an old man, who told me that
he "worked about” on extra jobs, doing what
ever his hand could find. Yet tho best wagon
he got was from fifty to seventy-live cents a day.
T ask seventy-five,” said he, "hut when I can’t
get that I take lifty." Out of this scanty sum he
had to board himself and support his family.
"Ii’h mighty hard," said he, "worse nor what it
was iu old slave times.”
"MEAL THIRTY CENTS A rECK.”
"1 could sorter got along ou fifty or seventy-
five conts a day, hut now work has got scarcer
and meal has gone up aud up,” he continued in
a doleful tone. I asked him to what point meal
had reache l in Columbia. "Thirty cents a
peck,” said he, "aud still a risiu’.”
What was it a month ago ?” I asked.
Only twenty cents,” he replied, "and work
hain’t gone up to correspond.”
indeed, and this is where the shoo pinch
es the laborer. Tho bread for his table has ad
duced and the price of his labor remains tho
same or has fallen. This is one of the effects of
tho "revival of business" on account of the Eu
ropean war. Whore it helps one man it hurts
ten, aud tho ten it hurts very had, for it fairly
may he said to take tho breud from tho mouths
of their children.
I asked him if he know why ineal lmd advanc-
l. "Ob, yes,” said ho; "tho man I get It of
says there is a war between Europe and Russia
and tho soldier^ eat the tueal. * That’s vjhat the
matter. But I can’t hear that they fight much.
’Pears like they hurt tho poor darky in the
stomach more than they hurts one another.”
While wo are talking let me tell you what
some of tho hoys say. They say that there ain’t
any war in Russia, and tho speculators havo
started the story so as to put up meal to thirty
cents a peek and make a pile of money. There’s
no telling what people will do these days.”
I asked him if floor was up.
"Yes,” ho replied, "they say its soven cents a
pound by tho small, hut I never buys it, times
is so bard. This darkey lives on hce-cake, and
it ’pears like hoe-cake i goin’ out of reach, and
then 1 reckon wo’ll dio.”
lie told me that there were many colored
families iu Columbia who had nothing to eat but
corn bread and cheap molasses. "It was hard
enough ou tho darkey," said he, "afore this war
started in Russia, and now, with work scarcer
aud scarcer, and meal thirty cents a peck, tho
Lord only knows what’ll become of us 1”
THE OLD TIMES.
Then ho fell into a talk on old times. Ho did
not want his people haclT into slavery, but as
tor himself, it he could havo his old master he
would rather be back. "Us old niggers,” said
he, "would ho better off as it used to he, for wo
had plenty to eat, whether meal went up or
down. Lord ‘ah’ mercy, sail, we never heard
about wars in other countries, or whether meal
was ten cents or a dollar a peck. My old mas
ter always had plenty. My belly stuck out like
it had a pumpkin iu it, and our mules was so
fat that a nigger would roll off of ’em. Them
was high times, I tell you. These times is
nothing.” Ho continued, with a gesture of
contempt: "A man would give a nigger half a
dollar for holding his boss. Now ho holds him
hipself, if he has ono, which is seldom.”
But with all theso advantages oi tho old times
over the present, aud notwithstanding tho fact
that meal is thirty oents a peck, this old man
would not say ho preferred slavery, unless ho
could have his old inastor. He didn’t want to
try new ones. But ho gravely and with appa
rent sincerity gave it as his opinion that they
would all bo hack in time. "I may not live to
see it,” he said, hut tho young folks cornin’ on
will. They will be put hack by starvation. No
free nigger can stand it to pay thirty cents a
peck for meal. White folks will say there is a
war way off somewhere, aud that meal is scarce
and must go up high, aud then tho poor darkey
will be starved back into slavery, and that’s
whar they’ll finally land. I don’t expect to live
to see that day, but the young ’uns will. Hit’s
a cornin’.”
A young man, a mulatto, came to us, and
this venerable relic of "old times,” who thought
meal at thirty cents a peok would be the ruin
ol the darkeys, repeated this opiuion: "No,"
said the young man, "I don’t care if rneul goes
to two dollars a peck, and meat to a dollar a
pound, wo’ll never go baok to slavery. I’ll die
first.”
Tho old man replied that time would tell
how it was, and Bhow that he was right. As
for himself he didn’t care. He had not long
to live anyway,, and as long as times were so
hard and provisions so high, ho had about as
soon be in slavery as free. "Freedom ain’t no
easy thing," said he, "when the belly is empty.”
The old man, out of work and out of provis
ions, took a gloomy view of nil thiugs because
meal had advanced to thirty conts a peck 1
Working for fifty cents to seventy oents a day,
and not beiug able to got work half the time,
and finding provisions advancing as work fell
off, can we blame him for imperfect appreciation
of freedom with an empty stomach ? Poetry
aud sentiment aside, the blaoks of the cotton
States find that lreedom for them means the
right to work alont as hard as ever they did
and have as little to show for it.
A HARD YEAR.
It will be a hard year for them, and in faot
for all classes and conditions of people in the
cotton States. Tho war in Europe hns brought
down ootton and sent up breud and meat.
Thero is not an interest in tho cotton Staton that
will bo advanced by this war. A few men in
tho cities who happon to havo stocks of pro
visions on hand will reap a benefit, but how
small iu proportion to tho burdens which are
imposed upon tho great body of tho people.
As a means of a roliof tho Houthern papers
are all yelping at tho planters to grow corn,
pens, potatoes, vegetables—anything, no mnttor
what, that tho people can oat. Stop the cotton,
thoy say, for tho indications nro that if tho
crop is largo tho prico will not pay for plowing.
But with all tho preaching tho editors can
do, a groat cotton crop is put in. With a fair
year tho product will ho over four millions of
hales. Tho plan tors would servo themselves
better if thoy would put in half a crop and
the rest of tho land into corn, peas or any
thing that would grow. By restricting tho
production to say two millions of bales tho
pricoB could ho kept up to a good paying point.
But every planter feols tho need of money,
Ho must havo cash. Cotton brings oash, and
so ho puts in every aero possible, aud goes iu
dobt for broad and i^ent.
Tho system is wrong and an injury to tho
producers, just as tho over production of coal
oil is an injury to those who produco it. If
tho supply could ho restricted prices would
advanco to a paying basis. It ib within tho
power of the Southern planters to put cotton
up to say eighteen cents and keep it there, if
thoy would all act together. How much bettor
it would be for the cotton growing region to put
in but half a crop for a few years, and tho rest
iu corn and peas, or anything that man or
beast will cat. Bat, liko tho coal oil producers,
they cannot bo made to not together.
GROWERS OF CORN ARE HAPPY.
Shortly ufter the conversation referred to
above, I fell in with a largo producer of corn ou
tho Tennessee river. Ho was happy. He had
five hundred acres of river bottom, and had
pitched a crop that would feed tho Turks.
Every foot of his ground was iu corn, and the
corn was up. "I’ll work that corn like a gar
den," said ho, "aud I’ll make it bring sixty
bushels to the aero. It’s done it many a time
when tho price was but thirty conts a bushel,
and now I’ll make it do it, for that war in Eu
ropo will bring mo sixty-five cents cash in
hand. Tkiuk of that ! Let me sec; five hun
dred acres at sixty bushels to tho acre; put
that down; that is thirty-fivo thousand bushels.
That good old war will make it bring sixty-five
cents. It’s that now, and I’ll hot a boss it don’t
go down. Thirty-five thousand bushels at six-
ty-flve cents will roll in $22,750. Zounds, I’ll
have a pile of money if that war don’t stop!
But I hope ib won’t stop till wo get off at least
two corn crops. That war is tho best thing
that ever happened for East Tennessee.”
Yes, East Tennessee will ho largely benefitted,
for it is a corn-growing section, and has the
great Southern market immediately at hand.
But the South as a section, will he hurt. The
benefit of spots hero aud there where corn is
grown is inadequate compensation for the injury
brought upon the planters and laborers of tho
cotton States.
Taking tho whole country in view, North,
South, East and West, the war works more in
jury than benefit. Where one mau, who grew
com, i.i bcnofttUd, tin who ckt corn aro Injured.
And the laborers in the largo cities of the
North will suffer along with tho laborers in the
cotton States. Their bread has risen, but not
their wageH. It requires no abstruse calculation
to show that more aro hurt than helped.
Besides, is it not impossible, iu the nature of
thiugs, lor a war to he of advantage to tho muss
of mankind ? Wo see destruction broadcast
and wealth consumed as effectually as if done
by fire. To say nothing of the lives lost, can
mankind he benefitted by such ns this?
I am of those who believe that it would be
better for tho material interests of America,
taken as a whole, if the war should cense to-day.

AN EXTRAORDINARY CAREER.
THE WONDERFUL HISTORY OF DR. JOHN FRIEDRiCH
VON HERDER.
The most important event in tho history of
tho German Pioneer Association probably oc
curred last evening, at their regular meeting,
beiug the advent among them of an old Prus
sian soldier and physician, nearly a hundred
years old, who had served in most of the great
wars of the last and the present century. His
name is Johann Friedrich Von Herder, and his
ago is ninety-seven years. Ho was a sou of one
of Frederick the Groat’s famous Generals, aud
at an early ago served as military physician in
the Prussian war. At the battle of Joua ho was
wounded and taken prisoner, and after recover
ing his health, accepted a position on tho medi
cal staff of the French army, afterwards being
appointed staff physician to the great Napoleon.
He followed tho Giant of Rattles through all his
subsequent wars. Ho saw tho great fire of
Moscow, and endured tho awful sufferings of
the immomorablo disastrous retreat which fol
lowed. He was iu Egypt; beheld tho celebrated
charge of the Mamelukes upon the French
squares and heard the famous exhortation of the
petit corporal, telling his soldiers that forty cen
turies were looking down upon thorn from tho
summits of tho Pyramids. Ho saw Waterloo,
the charge of tho Cuirassiers, the defeat of the
Old Guard, the slaughter of the terrible pursuit.
Afterward ho joined the Turkish army, and
continued in tho service of tho Sultan until the
time of the Greek war, aud the massacre of
Soio, when his sympathies being enlisted in the
cause of humanity, he joined the Greek forces
as an army physician. After the war he again
went to France, and joined the French army.
He went to Algiers and served thero. He sub
sequently returned to Germany, got married,
and took part in the revolution ol ’48, and had
to fly tho country. On coming here with bis
wife and ohildren, he went to St. Louis, and re
ceiving $25,000 soon after from the remainder
of his faiher’s estate, started in the nursery
business near the city. He failed in this, and
at last, having lost nearly all his lortuue, re
turned to the praotice of his profession. Then
came the war tor the Union; and the old man,
together with his five sons, joined an Illinois
regiment. Four of his sons were killed in the
war, and the fifth subsequently died. His wife
also died, and now tho old man desires to re
turn to France. The Pioneers’ Association
having heard his story, voted him fifty dollars
to help pay his expeuses. He is now on his
way to Europe. He yet seems vigorous, and
told his extraordinary story last evening with
remarkable precision and distinctness.—Cincin
nati Commercial.
THE FIRST Nil HIT BUTTON.
Young Charluy Ovorhlowor married about a
month ago, nud when he came hack from his
wedding tour ho and his pretty little wife, Em
ma, took possession of a charming flat up town.
Early ono morning, after they were fairly settled,
and tho last of Emma’s sisters bad boon induc
ed to couoludo her visit, Charloy proposed to
Emma that they should go to tho theatre. Tho
little woman assented, and both began to amend
their toilets. Iu a fow moments Charley said ;
“Darling, I am sorry to troublo you ; hut really
I think I shall be obliged to ask you to sew a
button on this shirt. ”
"Of oourso; why not?" said Emma, delighted
at a chanco to show her skill. She took tho
garment, seated herself, and said : "I can’t re
member for tho lifo of mo whore I put those
buttons. Charloy look in tl.at box and see if
yon can find ono.”
Charloy looked in tho box, which was a case
of perfume bottles, and got finding tho desired
article, concluded ho would not bother Emma
lor futber information, so he pulled a button
from another shirt.
"Now, Charley,” * id Emma, "look in the
top burean-drawor jaifrtgot mo a paper of nee
dles and a spool of white cottou—bo sure to got
tho white cotton.”
Charley found in the top bureau-drawer a
copy of Tennyson—ho remembered it well, and
picked it up And looked at tho marginal marks
and comments, dear affeotionato little girl that
sho was 1 and moro perfume bottles, and a pat
tern of a Flor de Furnar overskirt aud tho begin
ning of a sofa-cushion, aud various other things,
but no needle or cotton. Thou he remembered
that ho had a fancy "housowifo” that he had
bought from a girl at a fair, and ho got needles
aud cotton out of that.
‘Thank you dear,” said Emma, and she be
gan to stitch vigorously, humming a dreamy
Italian air. Presently she said "Oh, Charley,
out you bring mo the soisBors? I thiuk
they’re in my writing desk. I had them there
to-day cutting a poem out of a paper. ”
The Bcissors were not in tho w riting-desk, nor
on the mantel, nor in the top bureau-drawer,
nor iu the case of perfumo-bottleB, nor even in
the hair receiver, so Charley drew on his
housewife” agaiu. Emma took tho scissors,
snipped tho thread and now make haste, or wo
shall ho late.”
Charley wriggled info the garment, and then
put up his hands to button the band at the hack,
but no buttou was there.
Why, Em,” he cried, "whore in tho thunder
did you sew on that button ?"
‘Oh, Charley aiut you ashamed 1” exclaimed
his wife. "Where are your eyes ?”
"If they were in tho back of my head,"an
gered Charley, "perhaps I could seothobuf-
ton.”
Emma raised herself on her tip-toes and
looked at tho hand.
Why, that’s strange !” said sho. "Take it
off and let me look at it.”
Tho shirt was inspected thoroughly, and the
button was found ' neatly aud deftly sowed ou
just beneath the tag of the shirt-bosom bo as to
button to tbatappeudage in a most elegant man
ner.
"Well, by Jove;" exclaimed Charley, "if I
didn’t know any moro about sewing on n button
than that, I wouldn’t get mar—I’d learn how.”
"You were goiug to say you wouldn’t have
got married," oried hVs wifo, putting ou her hat
hastily and bursting into tears.
"Whero are you going ?” demanded Charley
savagely.
"I’m going homo, and I’ll get a separation
from you and your old shirts ; that's where I’m
going,” blubbered Emma. "I thought yon
wauted tho buttou thero to fasten to your-what-
you-call-’emR.”
It took Charley au hour to persuade Emma
that if she went home there wouldn’t be straw
berries and cream enough to go around, aud
that she could get all sho wauted at Deltnoni-
co’s and he’d pay for it.
A Jl'MT ESTIMATE OF GRANT AN A SOL
DI ER IIY A NORTHEIINEU.
(From tlio Chicago Timea, 29th ult.)
TheTribuno on Sunday informed tho country
that Grant never lost a battle. As Grant was
licked at Belmont, and again at Shiloh, and
suffered Uo disastrous repulses in his assaults
iu May, 1863, before Vicksburg, it is seen that
tho Tribune’s assertion is somewhat at variance
with tho facts. The strategist of that sheet as
serts that Grant's "theory was that a battle
should always cost tho enemy moro thau it cost
him," and yet it is tho fact that just tho rovorse
is the truth. Graut was always willing to lose
throo men in order to kill ono of tho enemy,
basing his willingness upon his celebrated utter
ance that his "cat’s tail” was the "longest.”
Had Graut not been possessed of more than
twice ns many men as Lee, tho hitter might
have taken Washington in place of the former
taking Richmond. It was four to one that drove
Lee bnck; and even then Richmond would
scarcely have been taken had not Sherman com
menced moving from the South. Grant was
not a strategist iu any sense of the word. All
he know of war was to keep "hammering”
away, cdtscious onl^-of tho fact that in the end
superiority iu numbers and iu supplies must
give success. In truth, our late war, outside of
Sherman’s Atlanta campaign, had very little
strategy iu it. In nearly all other instances it
was simply a coro of give and take, in which
not gameness, but weight, had tho best of it.
Von Moltke is credited with saying that our
war was simply the mad contact of two armed
mobs. Always, except Sbermun's movements,
that is pretty much all thero was of it. The
soldiers of Europe will certainly look on Grant
with much curiosity as a man who lost more
livos and accomplished less for the sacrifice
than in any war known to history. They cer
tainly cannot have any admirution for his mili
tary genius, for the reason that they will not be
apt to regard mere stolidity, mere willingness to
lose three men to kill one of tho enemy ns nny
evidence of nhility. He will undoubtedly at
tract much attention; but, as said.it will be
rather curiosity than anything else. Grant, as
shown by history, lucks in all the purely intel
lectual qualities of a first class soldier. He has
no culture to recommend him iu other respects.
It is a very well known fact that the men with
whom ho has associated since the war, who
have been his friends aud intimates, huvo not
been men either noted for their social, moral
or intellectual worth. Hence Grant hns not
had that opportunity which is afforded by con
tact with the more refined elements to acquire
polish. Ho is yet as uncouth, or nearly so,
ns when he left his tannery nt Galena to take
charge of au Illinois regiment.
BEAUTY AND SONG.
How beautiful is earth! Every feature itn
pressed with the Huger of its Creator,and marked
as God’s own handiwork! From the tiny flow
ers blossoming by tho wayside to tho lofty nroh
that makes our world ono vast tomple whose
dome readies heaven, ono can see God’s pres
ence. It is written iu living characters, breath
ed in notes of song. All we require to perceive
it is an eye made by faith, and a heart tuned
in harmony. Beauty and soug in the flowers
opening their sweet eyes to tho sunlight; in
evory leaf quivering iu tho breeze; in the drops
of dew sparkling with a thousand diamonds ; in
the tiny stream, like a vein of molten silver,
wandering away to the distant sea. But if earth
is so fair, how vainly does the mind strive to
picture heaven. Earth is fair, but heaven is
fairer; earth is bright, but heaven the bright
ness of God illuminates; earlh our abiding
place, but heaven our homo. Oftentimes weary
iu this our earthly habitation, thero we shall
be at rest. No aching brows or throbbing
hearts, no quivering sighs or burning tears, no
sorrow to mar its beauty. Evil shall no more
dwell with us; suffering shall flee away. There
shall be never-fading beauty ; songs, whose
rnusio never weuries; leaves that fade not and
flowers that bloom eternally; green pastures
and living streams of waters; light and joy never
quenched in darkness; beauty and song never
hushed in tears. May we have Patience, Hope
to buoy us up while Faith shall grow brighter
aud brighter uutil lost in glorious sight.
Did I ever, ever love any other girl ?” repeat
ed a prospective bridegroom iu answer to the
tearful query of his intended. "Why, darling,
of course not, how oould you ask such a ques
tion? You are my first, my only love. This
heart knew no wakening uutil the sunshine of
your love streamed in and awoke it to ecstacy.
And then he kissed her tenderly and went
homeland said to himself, ‘I must hurry them
things out of the way right off or there will be a
row,' and he collected together a great pile of
letters, written in all kinds of feminine hands,
with lots of faded flowers aud photographs, and
looks of hair, and bits of faded ribbon, and
other things, and wheu the whole collection
had been crammed into the kitchen grate, he
drew a deep sigh and said to himself, 'there
goes all that is left of fourteen undying loves—
let ’em flicker.’
