Richmond, May 17, 18C9.
Editoek TrxEfiBArn: We are now in the fourth
year of peace, yet this county (Fort Bend) has
been more half than a month without a tingle civil
officer. Tour readers can easily imagine the
confusion that this anomalous condition pro
duces in an old settled community. No thief or
murderer can be legally arrested, or if arrested,
confined. There is scarcely an hour in the day
in which there is not a demand in an old com
munity for an officer to perform some one of
the multifarious duties required of these func
tionaries.
When the order was published so unceremo
niously vacating offices, it was hoped and reas
onably supposed that officers capable of talcing
the required oath had been selected, snd only
waited the mere form of qualifying to enter on
their duties. But this was a serious error, as
the sequel is showing. Do “let ns have peace,”
Mr. Grant, and those civil officers that all expe
rience has proven to be so indispensably neces
sary to the maintenance of good order, and the
preservation of life, liberty and property. True
there is not much of the two last left, bat we
would like to bold life, the first mentioned, by
a little better tenure than the mere forbear
ance of deep#redoes. It is needless to expati
ate farther on our situation. There is no oon-
cealing the fact that it is ugly and uninviting.
We have had more cold nights and mornings
than I ever experienced before in the month of
May, and, for a wonder in this section, thus far
without rain, though a good shower would be
quite acceptable to planters, especially those
who were late in getting their seed cotton in
the ground.
Grope look real well, and are in a remarkably
fine condition. Cotton squares or forma have
been common on seme plantations for several
days, though I have yet beard of no blooms.
But the staple is subject to so many disasters
here, and of late years they have revisited ns
with such unwelcome persistency,that the farm
er never considers himself safe until his “game
is bogged. ”
4 This is the busy season with stoekmen, mark
ing and branding calves. It will soon be the
opening of their flush time, too; for heaves are
already fat, and their owners will soon have
them on the road to market in droves of thou-
There is no news of the sensational or horrible.
To those fond of that species of literature, the
“Day's Doings," and police reports of northern
journals aro recommended. Pas Fora.
A Visit to Mr. Dickson's Plantation.
There is in Georgia, probably there is in
America, no more successful planter than Mr.
David Dickson, whoso plantation of 111,000 acres
is situated on the Little Qgechee river, about
ten miles east of Sparta, in Hancock county.
To reach his country I traveled over a hilly
country of mixed lands on which oaks, hickory
and other deciduous trees were common, but
where the prevailing growth was yellow pine.
But just before reaching his plantation the bills
sink, there are extesive plains, red clay is sel
dom seen, and tho long loaf pine prevail. The
plantation is a pine barren; not so barren as much
of tho pine land near the sea, but not nearly so
fertile as tho oak and hickory lands farther north,
ortho productive red-clay plains of Southwestern
Georgia. Casting your eye over the fields,
you note particularly that their surfaces aro
quite smooth. Yon distinguish tho rows of com
and ootton by tho stalks only, and not by the
fygh ridge made by plows and hoes, such as yon
v*e in almost every Southern field. They ora
perfectly dean, too, no fringe of crab grass, or
other weeds, covering tho ground. Tho corn
stalks are huge, and the cotton stalks very bushy
and thickly covered with dead pods or bolls.
Near are some farm out-buildings and a duster
of very neat and comfortable negro quarters—
the best I have seen in Georgia. Still, there is
little to exdte remark in the appearance of
things. There are good fences and gates, and
it ia evidently a tidy farm, but we have seen
tidy farms elsewhere in Georgia.
The aim of this planter has been to increase
tho productive capacity of the land, first, and
second to increase the productive capacity of
the laborer. Tho accomplishment of the first
has been affected by means of fertilisers, which
mako the land richer, and improved tillage,
which makes the natural and acquired fertility
of the noil more available. Tho second haa
been effect,id by new modes of planting and
new igptnwA. Ordinarily, in UHMby,
fifteen acres of cotton and corn fere cultivated
to each hand, Before tho war Mr! Dickson cul
tivated thirty-three acres to the hand, and the
slaves had no drivers. In this part of Georgia,
an average crop of cotton is about one bale on
fonr acres. To be sure be expends large sums
every year for manures, but these repay him
one hundred per cent, on their oost,- and the
cost of tha lid tor required to produce a bale of
cotton, is comparatively very small by his sy»-
tem of culture.
The ground is planted in ootton but once in
four years. It is succeeded by corn, and the
third year by grain. The fourth year the land
Kea fallow. The manures used for cotton are
one hundred pounds-each of Peruvian guano,
dissolved bones, salt and plaster—the whole
ooeting at present prices about eleven dollars.
The ground is ploughed, not scratched, as has
been the case with all the other plantations I
have seen. The dirt is turned up to the depth
of seven, eight or nine inches, and the whole
surface is broken up, the dead furrows being
upon the ridges. Elsewhere the space lie tween
the rows forms a “land.” The furrows for cot
ton rows are opened about eight inches deep
and fonr feet apart. The manure is deposited
in the furrow and covered with the plow. The
seed furrow is then opened abovo it, and
the ootton seed strewn thickly in it, a great
many more cotton plants being started than
are permitted to remain. After they are
finely started, spaces are cot in the row with a
broad heavy hoe, leaving from one to thTee
stalks to a hilL The plowing is done with what
is called here a “sweep," a plough cutting twen
ty-two inches wide, formed the two narrow
boards, very like our plow shares. This just
scrapes the ground, cutting up all the weeds,
bnt not going deep enough to wound the cotton
roots or open the light soil. It is hoed and
plowed often enough to keep the ground per
fectly clean. The more rapid the growth of the
cotton, less cultivation is required, for when tho
plants are tall, thick and bushy, they so shade
the ground that weeds and grass can hardly live
upon it. Three plowings and two hoeings suf
ficed last year for a remarkable field of cotton
raised last year by Mr. Dickson, which averaged
two bales to the" acre. Usually the hoe and
plow are busy almost until cotton picking com
mences in September.
A 'Western farmer would smile at Mr. Dick-
fon's com fields. The rows are almost as wide
as the streets in some old European towns. But
it must be remembered that this is a very light
soil and cannot bear many stalks, and b v making
the rows wide the sun reaches both sides of
Xyery plant. Mr. Dickson makes his rows for
com seven feet apart, with hills three feet
apart in the rows and then only one or two
stalks to a hill But all this space is not wasted,
as a row of peas is planted between every two
rows of com, and these produce from five to fif
teen bushels per acre, and are equal to the aver
age production of com on unmanured land.
Mr. Dickson's experience is of coarse valu
able chiefly to the southern planter. A general
adoption of his methods would be more th*o
double tho products of tho country and the
profits of the fanner.
Mr. Dickson says that he can pay his laborers
one hundred and fifty dollars per year end make
a small profit by raising cotton at ten cents a
pound, if the laborers are as orderly and efficient
as they were before the war. Bathe sees no
indication that they will become so. With law
and order and a strict enforcement of contracts
he feels that he can make money by raising cot
ton. Not otherwise.—Cor. Cincinnati Com-
merdaL

The white workmen of the North are drifting
into an unpleasant and probably losing conflict
with Coffee on the question of his employment
in the Government printing office at Washing
ton. Bnt it would be more prudent for them to
husband their strength for a more formidable
competitor in the shape of Johnny Chinaman,
who has just laid the last tracks of the Pacific
Railroad that is to bring his countrymen here
by tiie thousand and million. In ten yean’
time it is probable that the Chinese will be as
numerous on the Eastern slope of the Rocky
Mountains as the German and Irish are at
present
'What will the white workmen of the North do
about it will soon be an important question for
them. Will they oppose a futile resistance to
the influx of cheap labor, or will they unite with
it and raise it to their own leveW The Chinese
number one-third of the entire human race.
They are thirteen times more numerous than
the population of the United States, and swarm
in a country no larger than ours. They printed
books and set off fire-cracker* a thousand years
before our language was founded. They are ao
numerous that they are compelled to kill their
new-born children, because their country is not
able to sustain an increase of population. Their
country now almost toadies ours, and they are
ready and anxious to step over by millions to
possess the land.
Who can stop them ? California tried to do so
and failed. It was useless to hoot them in the
streets, kill them in the mines, and persecute
them everywhere. White workmen refused to
associate with them, and drove them out of the
workshops snd mines. But they now make all
the cigars on the Pacific eoaat, mend watches,
make those, and delve in mines. They even
set type in a language they cannot understand.
They are the moat docile, imitative, industrious,
and withal, the most degraded raee in the world-
in a moral and social sense.
■ With our new steam lines to China, and our
Pacific Railroad, it is easy to see that these bar
barians will moon be npan US. They will come
to as, but they will never sesimilstw with us.—
Unlike the other races on our shores, they will
hoard all they can of their sesnty wages, and
retire at last to their own conntry with fortunes
that would seem to us as nothing. They will
not even leave their bones with ns when they
die, bnt reserve them for burial cm Celestial
[soil. ’" '-vl ,
What, we repeat, shall we. do with this useful,
horrible people ? Shall we give them the ballot
and let them vote with the negroes? Perhaps
the only possible thing M to do nothing, or tnm
the matter over to Charles Sumner and the New
England factory owners. Here are brawn and
muscle of tho most supple and cheapest kind,
that gladly take any land of wages, and never
bother about “strikes.” The probablo effects
of this population upon our white workmen—
whether the Utter will fall to the lower level or
rise to a higher plane—really constitute a most
Duplexing theme for our philanthropists snd
This coming Chinese immigration threatens
the most serious strain to our Christian civiliza
tion that it has ever yet experienced. If we do
not rise superior and conquer it by the sheer
might of moral and religious truth, it will swamp
and sink ns in a darker, fouler destiny than ever
overwhelmed any of the lost nations of the
world.—N. r. Com. Adrr.
Fences.
The best and cheapest kind of fencing is the
great desideratum of which the fanner ia in
quest from time immemorial. Beyond a doubt,
wherever a permanent line of division or enclo
sure con be drawn, a live hedge of hawthorn,
buckthorn or osage or osagfe orange is superior
to any other, when it has been fairly established.
Nothing can exceed tho beatity of the English
hawthorn in spring and autumn. In the months
of May and June, the hedges are covered with
the white blossoms which load the air with per
fume, and in Antamn they are red with the ripe
berries which afford abundant food to the littlo
birds, and are, in fact, eaten by children, thongh
they aro rather mealy and insipid. In our
country, where flekh are often divided, and tim
ber has heretofore been abundant, less atten
tion haa been paid to tho mode of enclosing
grounds than in the older countries of Europe,
but we shall have to come to it before long.
The forests are disappearing, sadly to the dis
credit of owe forecast, for we are already suffer
ing in some of the old settlements, even in this
conntry, for the want of wood, not so much as
fuel, for coal will supply a more economical heat,
bnt suffering, on account of the change in the
climate, superinduced by the destruction of the
forests. Why the mountains should be denuded
for the sake of the arable land which their aides
afford, we cannot understand, in view of the in
jurious effects upon the health of the surround
ing country. The deprivation of the immense
amount of carbonic add which is supplied by
the forest trees, finds a poor compensation in
the additional surface of land offered to the
plow.
The old fashioned worm fences are n most
wasteful contrivance, not onlv on account of the
vast amount of material which they require, but'
also became they take up ground which ought to
bo under cultivation. The good old days when
the urchin who proposed to fill his pockets with
apples from his favorite tree, was obliged first
to climb over a worm fence, six or seven feet
high, have gone from these ends of the earth.
No doubt in the back woods, such stockades
may still be found. The post and rail fence is
good and substantial, while it is new, bnt it will
wear ont, and every time it is renewed," the
l'..rmer finds that the market pace of the ma
terial has risen enormously. The quickset
hedge is getting better all the time, and the on
ly trouble about it is, that it is too good, there
is hardly such a thing as eradicating it Picket
fenees are expensive and are becoming dearer
every year. They are indispensable about
gardens and drove-yards, bnt they can be
made durable by protecting them against
the weather. We have tried the iron fences,
made of string wire. They will keep ont some
cattle, bnt there are others that walk right
through them as a native Yankee walks through
a row of South American bamboo huts, when he
is in a harry. Besides, boys creep through
them into your com field, or melon patch, or sit
on the topmost strand and make swings of your
galvanized wire and play tho mischief generally
with the whole contrivance. When we come to
the more durable kinds of iron fences made out.
of bars, we are still confounded with tho diffi
culty of expense. The live hedge is the cheap
est. It requires a few years to protect it, but
once established, and yon have a fence that no
wind can blow down and no thief break through.

Poughkeepsie, May 21.—At seven minutes
past eleven o'clock last night the largest and
most brilliant meteor ever witnessed here flashed
across the horizon from the southeast to the
northeast. It left a long train of scintillating
fire, and lighted np the entire city.
Boston, May 21.—Many persons in the streets
last night were startled by a flash of scarlet-
tinged light, while others saw the meteor, which
they describe as of bright scarlet, and to the eye
about the size of a 12-pound cannon bail
Maise GiAsia.—A Turner correspondent of
the Lewiston Journal says that a man died re-
, centiy in that town of almost giant proportions.
He was six feet four inches high and weighed
three hundred pounds. His name was John
Keene. He was boned beside the remains of
his father, whose name was John and who died
at the same age (eight yyears),and he also leaves
a son John, who is six feet six inches in height.
The boards of which his coffin was made were
sawed by himself from the same log which furn
ished the boards for his father's coffin twenty-
seven years ago. There are few logs of suffi
cient sizo to furnish whole boards for such a
