Correspondence of the Macon Daily Telegraph.}
Richmond, Tells, March if, 1869.
This is one of the most backward Springs
ever known in Texas. Here is past the middle
of March, and not one man in ten is through
planting; and when com ought to be worked
over the first time, it is only beginning to show
its head in a few fortunate localities.
Land was too wet for the plow in winter, and
the spring, thus far, has been entirely too cold
for the favorable germination of the seeds put
in the ground. Add to this the fact that it is the
fewest number of planters that have a sufficient
number of laborers, and you have a pretty fair
picture of the situation here.
Men have in a measure abandoned the folly of
deploring in dolorous strains the great lack of
labor. The little imported labor that has been
tried and tested in this country, has proved a
signal failure, and, in numerous instances, very
expensive. The truth is, men engaged in agri
cultural pursuits will have to reduce Ben Frank
lin’s couplet to practice:
“ He that by the plow would thrive,
Himself must either hold or drive.’*
We are beginning to practice this virtue here;
for whether urged by necessity, or adopted from
choice, labor is honorable, ennobling.
Numbers of men with us, who knew next to
nothing of manual labor from personal exper
ience, are throwing off their coats and taking
bold in good earnest. .Such a course is bound
to win su'ccess-^-fo conquer Id.' bompared to
the forced march, the cheerless supper and the
cold bivouac which most men in the South un
derwent not many years ago, the severest
drudgery of the plantation is child’s play; mere
holiday sport enlivened by the approving smiles
of those we love. Besides, farm labor, as the
old toper said of cold water when reduced to
the necessity of tasting it for the first time, “is
not such demnition bad stuff after all.”
For years past editors, agricultural societies
and even grave legislators have been racking
their brains trying to devise ways and means to
obtain cheap labor. In other words men are
doing their utmost to get others to work, think
ing by this cute “coup (V etat," to flank it them
selves.
TTJlaM. BPU’jiflQ.W
* It is fashionable in certain circles, within the
past ten years, fo»men to expatiate on the
beauties of the English Government, and the
captivating advantages of cheap labor. It must
be confessed, however, that most ’of those who
indulge in these innocent and comforting rhap
sodies are young men whose reading (among
those who read at all) is confined to books with
“yaller kivers. ” If cheap labor is the grand
embodiment of “patriotic desire,” then the
country in the neighborhood of Liverpool, Man
chester and Leeds ought to be regarded as the
Paradise of the world. But is this the case ? A
glance at English statistics proves the reverse.
In the localities'mentioned, .there are many
lordly mansions, but they are units compared
with the hundreds of wretched hovels where
want, and woe, and despair, revel in demoniac
glee.
To those innocents who are ever prating about
cheap labor, and its attendant beauties, the fa
ble of the boys and frogs is anxiously recom
mended, and if they find any difficulty in mak
ing the application, let them call in the aid of
some friendly school-boy.
An enthusiastic editor in this State says:
“what Texas needs and must have, is good,
cheap and reliablo labor.” Well, when he finds
these three qualities combined, I think it pretty
certain that we shall all hear of it. Whew!
That will bo the millennium—when it comes!
Think of it. “Good, cheap, reliable!”
But may heaven hide the picture from my
eyes when labor shall go begging for' employ
ment, and honest toil is placed at the mercy of
the ghoul capital! We have a country combin
ing more advantages than any other in the world.
Let us employ ourselves in the development of
thq.se, and in good time, when we show the world
what we are, and what our country is capable of,
the better class of immigrants will flock to our
shores, and we shall be saved the doubtful expe
diency of skimming Europe for its frothy, filthy
scum, or raking it for the debris of its pauper
population, who are unable to make a living on
its overstocked, impoverished acres.
Our District Court is in session, and will easi
ly dispose of the dockets in the two weeks as
signed. The most of the cases are old ones that
have for several sessions been “ lagging super-
flous on the docket.” Few new caseshave been
returned. Texans are not a litigious people.
Law is a luxury for which they seem to have
little taste; still the practitioners are numerous,
not a few of whom would justly rank as able
la were at any bar.
Seeing a complimentary notice of “Terry’s
Texas Bangers,” taken from the Louisville Cou
rier-Journal, going the rounds of the press, re
minds mo that some of the companies of which
the regiment was composed, were from this
county. I can well believe everything that is
said of their gallantry. I have never seen one of
them that did not bear on his person honorable
marks of service.
Col. Gnstave Cook, a son of Judge Nat. Cook,
of Alabama, who was in command of the regi
ment at the close of the. war, and for a long
time before its close, is a citizen of our town,
a-ml is literally seamed with honorable scars re
ceived in the fierce contests through which he
led his impetuous columns. The Colonel is a
. young lawyer of much promise, and if the past
had not already immortalized him, his friends,
who are legion, would entertain no misgivings
but that the future would. The young Colonel
wears his undoubted honors with a modesty as
becoming as his claims to chivalrous bearing are
undisputed. You might be in his company six
months without learning from him that he ever
‘J^et a squadron in the field," or even knew the
smell of “vilainons saltpetre.”
We are about to haye a new paper at this
place, to be added to the seventy-three already
published in the State, issued under the impos-
ing title of “The South-West.
From the character and ability of its sponsors,
there is every reason to believe it will vindicate
its claims to the high-sounding title inscribed on
its mast head.
- Politics engross but a small share of public
attention. Few only of the people have seen
the Constitution framed by the Convention late-
Iy in session at Austin, and fewer still' will lie
allowed to vote for its ratification or rejection,
as only those who registered under the recon
struction acts will be allowed a voice in the mat
ter. The most of these are unlettered negroes.
But I suppose it will be ratified. Perhaps, nn-
der the circumstances, it is as well that it should
be, trusting to be able in the future to amendits
objectionable features, unless its active accouch
eurs have made it like the laws of the Medes and
Persians, unalterable. Fois.

“What are they doing in convents all the
time ?” said a very intelligent Protestant gentle
man to me.
“I will find ont and tell yon,**T replied.
So, true to my promise—I never break a
promise unless “'tis more honored in tho breach
than in the observance”—I poete£jinj*3|!3
to the Convent of the Sisters of Mercy, at the
coiner of Mulberry and Houston streets, jmd
asking for Sister C., to whom I brought an in

1H INTERVIEW WITH ASt ASSISTANT SUPERIOR.
When Sister, or rather Mother XL, entered
the parlor—I ascertained afterwards that she
was the Assistant Superior—I was a little em
barrassed, scarcely knowing how to frame my
request. Assured, however, byhergentle looks
and kindly greeting, I “outed with it," and told
her my errand. I related precisely what had
passed between my friend and myself, and
wound up with the request: “Will yon let me
go through your convent and report to my
friend?”
PRATXB IN THE CONVENT CHAPEL.
She smiled a sweet asoent, and telling me I
might at once, bnt as it was near twelve, ap
pointed the next day for my visit. I arose to
take my leave, but taking my hand, she led me
to the convent chapel, and, after a moment
bowed in prayer, rose and explained the sub
jects illustrated by the beautiful stained glass
Gothic windows. Then, conducting mo to the
door, she again urged my visit on the morrow.
THE PARLOR OF THE CONVENT.
Punctually at the hour appointed, I was at the
door. At the first touch of the bell-handle, it
opened, and the lay sister in the vestibule
showed me the parlor—a large and commodious
room, comfortably furnished, bnt not modern
either, in furniture or finish, for it was warmed
by a large, open grate, whose old-fashioned
brass appendages glowed with the brightness
that is only given by daily and constant care.
A CICEBONE.
Soon came Mother C., in the modest dress of
the order, and, after some kindly conversation,
excusing herself from being my cicerone, she
introduced me to another sister, who said she
would be my conductor through the house. And
os we proceeded she gave me all the necessary
information, seeming, with marvelous intuition,
to anticipate my every enquiry.
THE HOUSE OF MERCY—HUNDREDS OF TOUKO GIRLS
I UVDB.
' As I had already seen the little Chapel of the
Virgin, we passed the door, and proceeding along
the corridor, entered the House of Mercy at
tached to the convent. Here I found a house
and school ofindostiy, perfect in all its appoint
ments, presided over and managed in all its de
partments by the sisters and lay sisters. Hun
dreds of young girls were at work in the differ
ent apartments, all neat, silent, and orderly.
AN IMMENSE LAUNDBY.
A large laundry, where ten thousand pieces
are washed at a time, dried by steam, and iron
ed, offered employment to a part of these girls.
Most of this is plain work, but a great deal of
starching and fluting is also done, under the
eye of the sisters, and frequently their own fin
gers perform'the work; while acting as teachers
to'the new hands. These operatives and pen
sioners are virtuous young giriR, who have been
rescued from tho streets. Very few of them
seemed over twenty years of age, and three lit
tle ones, I observed tod young to work, the
smallest of whom, little bright-eyed Mary Mo-
Fadden, only three years old, ran up to the ‘ ‘ sis
ter ” when we entered this juvenile department,
with tho happy confidence a child gives its
mother.
A SEFUQE FOB FOOB YOUNG OIRLS.
Whenever a virtuous poor young girl is out
of employment (those who have fallen from vir
tue are sent to the “ Sisters of the Good Shep
herd,”) she has only to apply to the Sisters of
Mercy for protection, home and employment;
and whether she be Catholic or Protestant, Jew
or Gentile, she is received into their House of
Mercy. Here, under the eye of the Sisters, they
are instructed and perfected in the branch of in
dustry to which they are best adapted, staying
as long ns they choose, and furnished with a
home, food and clothing. After proving them
selves efficient workers, if they prefer the Honse
of Mercy to any other home, they are paid wages.
If they desire situations, the Sisters aid them in
procuring them, or send them to places in the
West, many of these pensioners being emigrants
just from Europe.
SEWERS AND SEWING MACHINES.
In other rooms I found many or these girls
engaged sewing, some at machines, which they
are taught to manage, learning every variety of
plain sewing and beautiful embroidery.
NO SECTARIAN—THE KITCHEN.
Upon Sundays and the regular holidays of the
Church, these girls, accompanied by the sisters,
go to church; but those who are not Catholics
are not obliged to conform to the church cere
monies, and no persuasions are ever used to in
duce them to become Catholics.
The dormitories where the girls sleep were
exquisitely neat, though plainly furnished, ana
inexpensively, each girl occupying a small bed
alone..
Even to the kitchen I penetrated, and the
bright utensils here showed that the prevailing
neatness ruled in this as in every other depart
ment. I saw the immense batch of bread pro
vided for all these busy workers, and other
pensioners beside, for this is not all they “do m
the convent.”
THE MOTHER SUPERIOR’S BENEVOLENCE—THE
SCHOOL.
I was shown a little room, roughly and plain
ly furnished, where the Mother daily,
^rith her own hands, dispenses soup, bread and
plain food to the very poorest of the poor.
From the industrial department I was con
ducted to the school. It was the hour for dis
mission, and part of the young students were
already gone. Those who were present rose
with ready politeness upon my entrance, their
bright young faces beaming with intelligence
and the ardor of study. I was also informed
that the academy of the convent, on Flfty-nrst
street, where certain of the sisters went daily to
teach, was much larger, and had a fuller attend
ance of pupils than the one I saw here.
NUMBER OF SISTERS IN THE CONTENT.
As I prooeeded to the other apartments, I
asked my gentle conductress how many sisters
there were in the convent- “Forty-eight was
the replv. .
“Forty-eight women achieve all I have seen;
and teach the school in Fifty-first street, I ex-
claimed.* ,, .
“Oh ! yes, and a great deal more, she ans
wered, with a sweet laugh. 4 “Every morning a
oertain number are sent out to visit the mcJc. tne
Superior being notified by the clergy and othera
where' their services are needed, and^ certain
others go to visit the prisons. From o o dock
in thA morning till half-past 9 at night, we are
thus occupied, unless engaged in devotion or
contemplation; only about thirty ’minutes after
each meal being given to recreation.”
CELLS OT THE NTJNS.
By this time we had reached the upper and
fourth floor of the convent. Here I saw the
cells of the nuns. How many a benevolent lady,
who doubtless does, much good and sacrifices
much for the sake of others, if she could see
these cells, and learn all that I did on that after
noon would exclaim, “Ob, how poor is my work!
V nw meafrre my sacrifice of self, compared with
these devoted beings!”

c. lls are occupied but seven and half hours out
of the twenty-four. In very many of the rooms
throughout the establishment were oratories for
prayer. Pictures adorned many of the walk,
and appropriate texts, mottoes and devices were
found over the doors and along the corridors.
ORATORY OF THE VIRGIN—THE SACKED HEART.
Turning from the cells, the nun led me to a
small niched oratory of the Virgin, where the
last prayer of the sisters is said before retiring
for the night. A taper was burning before the
statue of the Virgin, and on each side of the Vir
gin, and aneach side of the~altar bloomed*
'Wftr i***'y(m
Back of tins niched oratory was another, ded
icated to the Sacred Heart. it was appropriately
ornamented, and perfumed with the order of
the exotic plants which bloomed around. So
the care of hot house plants takes up a part of
the time of these silent, unobtrusive worshiping
workers.
THE FINEST ROOM IN THE CONVENT.
Again I visited the room devoted to the fine
arts. A splendid cycloid Lindeman piano stood
on one side of the room, and an artist’s table
and implements on the other. The walls were
adorned with beautiful paintings. Many of the
sisters not only teach drawing, painting «n«t mu
sic, but find time to cultivate those arts.
A WONDERFUL VOLUME.
.One whose beaming artist eyes will long live
in my memory, was engaged in the mediaeval
art of illumination. When one of her illumined
volumes, a beautiful convent register of the
names, parentage, time of dedication to God,
etc., of all the sisterhood, was first opened be-
fore-my admiring eyes, I thought the work was
the finest engraving. The lettering, marginal
lining, coloring, and gilding, all done with the
pencil, and without the aid of compasses, were
only equaled in their marvelous execution by
the exquisite beauty and endless variety of the
designs. Every page was different, and all va
riations of the mediaeval style of ornamentation
mid design. The sister who does this work va
ries her occupation by teaching French in the
school, and also devotes some of her time to
the Honse of Mercy.
THE STORY TOLD.
And thus, my friend, did I fulfill my promise
and truthfully have I related how I found the
inmates of a convent occupied. These observa
tions, I trust, will meet your eyes, and their
perusal will spare yonr patience, when next we
meet, the infliction of a verbal account of
“what they do in a convent”

HOW THE NEOROES ARE OETTINO ALONO IN KEN
TUCKY.
From the Lexington, Ky.. Gazette.]
Negroes never were more orderly and well-be
haved than they are now. Some rang, and
doubtless, do. steal, but they do it so slyly that
they are not readily come up with. The great
majority seem to be sick of the freedom the
Yankees hare thrust upon them, for they miss
the care and comforts of the old home. A Urge
per centage of them, after trying many places
and different employers, have returned to their
former masters, and seem well satisfied to go
back. In some places there is considerable suf
fering among them, and especially is this this
the caso where the Ku Klux or Regulators have
been operators.
These mysterious knights of the road have
visited some negroes who were believed to be
great thieves, and have punished them so
severely as to put a stop to stealing entirely, and
as many depend npon this altogether for a live
lihood they are reduced to great straits. In
Jessamine and a part of Woodford ont of the
reaoh of the plunderers from this city a man’s
smoke-honsa is as safe as if it was guarded by a
file of soldiers. Negro men find employment,
and at good wages, bnt the women have a hard
time of it, and especially when they have young
children. Wo know of women who are working
simply for their board. No wonder that in
fanticide is so common among them; and this is
often practiced and never comes to the knowledge
of the authorities. The scarcity of negro
children is a matter of frequent remark. There
does not appear to bo ono where formerly
there were a dozen. An accurate census of the
State would show a fearful falling off in this
of the population. The race is doomed,
and in fifty years a negro will be as unusual a
sight as an Indian now is. No race of people
ever suffered at tho hands of their enemies as
the negro has from his p'retended friends—the
abolitionists. These meddlesome extermina
te nists have spread vice and poverty and crime
where contentment and plenty formerly prevail
ed. The negroes are not to blame, nor do think
ing men censure them, for they are the victims
and are deserving of commiseration. It re
quires a Urge charity on the part of former
slaveholders to repair in any measure the great
injury done to the negro by the abolitionists.
A Teutonic View ot the Situation in
Virginia.
A German railroad friend of ours ha3 given
his views on the situation, which we think worth
producing. He says:

rjMIIS article needs no recommendation when it hat
boon used. The following letter from one of the most
respected eitirens of Monroe county, tells the whole
story. We have other letters and can give the names
of many who will not do without it if It is to be had,
bnt we prefer to give a letter from a man who is well
and favorably known by almost everybody In Bibb
end Monroe counties. Such a man U Dr. LEROY

MESSRS. JONES, BAXTER k DAY,
Gsxtukhkv : In reply to yoer inquiry. I take plea
ore In saying my experience with the CHESAPEAKE
PHOSPHATE. I bought of you tut spring, has been
very favorable. C used (200) two handred pounds
upon OS) three-fourths of an acre, third year’s new
ground, apphing it in the drill, rows three feet apart,
sixteen inehes in the drill, on which I had five thou
sand seven hundred stalks of cotton. From thi* I
gathered (1M4) eighteen hundred and twenty-four
pounds of cotton. The last of August, the worm com
mitted great ranges in It, destroying all of the late
crop. Had it not been fur the worm I should have
made at least one-third more oa the land. I can cheer
fully recommend it to Planters as a Fertiliser for oot-
ton. . Respectfully,
[Signed] L. HOLT.

This article has been before the public for thirteen
yean, and there are now over 10.000tons told annually.
Read the following letter from a well known eitisen
of Monroe county:
Moirox Cocxtt, Ga., Jan. 4,1809.
Mr. Geo. Dvgdale, Baltimore, Md. t
Dixn Sin—I made an experiment npon Cotton the
past season with Baugh’s Raw-Bouo Phosphate. I
used it at the rate of only One Hundred Ponnds Per
Acre, applying it in the row with the seed, and the
yield of cotton from land to whleh the Phosphate wag
applied, was One Hundred Per Cent, greater than
from land on which no fertiliser wag used: tho differ
ence being so great that I could see to the very’row
where I stopped dropping tho Phosphate.
I can, with confidence, recommend Baugh’s Raw-
Bone Phosphate es being a reliable and satisfactory
article.
