CHURSDAY MORNING. FEB 82,1868
White Labor for the South.
There are several reasons why the
people of the South will employ white
labor in preference to negro labor. I
the first 'place, the free negro is not to
be trusted. He makes a contract to-day
and to-morrow he becomes dissatisfied
aud rescinds it of his own volition.
What if his employer refuses to pay the
price contracted for ? That does not
afford the remedy. The plow may be
left in the furrow, the seed may not be
sown, the loom, the anvil, the saw and
the hammer may all be idle; the mer
chandise may be unshipped, the cargo
unloaded; and yet, the only'redress is to
refuse to pav the negro wages. What
does he care ? If in the country, he will
go to the city. If in the city, he will go
to another city. If'he does not find work
in one place, perhaps, he, thinks he can
in another ;• and if he doesn’t, it makes
no difference to Sambo anyway. Per
haps he may go to the Freedmen's
Bureau, and worry his employer by false
and frivolous charges against him, com
pelling him to leave his business, pay
unjust demands, and lose his valuable
time. And in addition to this, the freed
people are being enticed away from
some sections of the South to other
sections, and disease is rapidly carrying
them off in every place where they ’are
crowded together.
Is the white man to submit to all this,
and more ? He certainly will not, if he
can avoid it; and the best way to do
this will be to employ his own color, to
give work to his own race, and thus
invite an industrious, thrifty, and valua
ble population into the country. Already
we notice by our exchanges, that this
policy is being carried out in several
portions of the South ; and where it has
been tried, the result appears to have
been satisfactory.
Foreign immigration is even now on
the increase, and we may soon expect to
have a lagge influx of industrious Irish
and German farmers, mechanics, and
laborers, who, scattered over the broad
domain of the Southern States, tilling
its soil, working its mines, running its
factories, tending its machinery, building
its Rail Roads, performing its labor, de
veloping all its great resources, will
“make the wilderness blossom as the
rose, - ” fill the land with plenty-, and
establish once more, the greatness and
prosperity of our section.
The Louisville (Ky.) In/lusi rial and
Commercial Gazette, in an article on
this subject, says :
“Whatever be the ultimate solu
tion of negro labor, the planter of the
South knows from sad experience that
he cannot rely upon it in the present
condition of that class of persons. The
semi-tropical crop requires certain and
continuous labor, without which the
planter cannot hope to gather the har
vest of his- capital and toil. With a
standing army in their midst, and what
is still worse, that expensive piece of
government furniture, the Freedman’s
Bureau, to exercise its influence over
the blacks, the Southern people, with
rare exceptions, have no control over
their labor. Many of them are, there
fore, substituting white labor, and with
beneficial results. It has been thought
that white labor could not be obtained
for the Southern agriculturist, but this
opinion has proved erroneous. Capital
will command labor, and any amount of
it. An entctprising firm of New Yyrk,
Fitzhue, Wilmer & Cos., have recently
sent several hundred of white laborers
to Southern planters and manufactories.
They say that any number can be fur
nished through arrar gements with Eu
ropean correspondents. Most of these
men go to Virginia, South Carolina and
Georgia.
“Arrangements are in progress by lead
ing agriculturists and capitalists of the
blue grass region to import European
laborers to Kentucky, and we have no
doubt the white daboring population of
our State will be increased fifty per cent,
during next year.”
The same policy will, doubtless, be
practiced in Georgia and South Carolina,
and, it may reasonably be expected that
the increase of our white laboring popu
lation, though not so great as that in
Kentucky and the other border States,
will still be very large. It is but an ex
periment with the South, as yet, it is
true; but it has worked well elsewhere,
and there is no reison, in our judgment,
why it should not here. At all events
we believe that the people will, in self
defence, be compelled to make the ex
periment.
—A lady in Fall River has been in
the habit of feeding her parrot with
cranberries from the tip of her tongue,
and the other day the bird, endeavoring
to get a better hold of the berry, took off
a portion of the tongue. It is presumed
that the parrot, will receive no more
training on that point.

SOUTHERN PAIN KILLER—
OR
STIMULATING LINIMENT.
DIRECTIONS FOR USING IT.
In Rheumatic Pains, Painful Swellings,
Sprains. Swelled Breasts, Pain in the Back,
or a Chilly Sensation in the Back, Sore
Throat, etc., it should be applied by fre
quently rubbing upon the skin over the
region of the pain—usually the painful part
should first bo bathed with warm soap suds,
or ley water, to soften the skin, then apply
it, and envelop in warm flannel.
It was mainiy intended for external use.
Those who have tried it for the relief of
pain in the stomach or bowels, severe colds,
coughs, croup, chills, etc., highly recommend
it, and regard it a great convenience to have
a remedy of the kind qn hand, for immediate
use, when necessary.
< If it has been employed with success, as
an internal remedy, for the relief of pain, or
for colds, it makes it so much the more valu
able, as a family medioins.
