In culIMJf the attention of our people
to thia fnotm-ntpu.-'ly practical we
would in the Very out et, record our ratn-
rat protest, and warn against th* idea of
imported lsb»r. Without catering iut>
the elaboration of the oonaidcrationa up
on which thia vtatomont ia bused, we
content ouraclvea for the proeent, in say
ing, that tho idea of foreign laborers did
not originate with ua; mid although this
in itaelf considered is no good reason fur
discording it, yet it may become auob, if
its Attendant circutnstanee* giving ii
birth, arc such aa to point it out aa an ad'
ditional element w herewith to prostrate
the South still more and prolong her con-
fusion, a ad loner her humiliation. We
look upon it ua a olevsr piece of political
strategy. And all tho more dangerous,
aa it seems to spring from a benevolent
regard fur our comparative helplessness.
When it is borne in mind tbut, thepren
eat dominant, wing of the Republican
party, interpreted by their easnya in Leg
islation, contemplate nothing lees than a
practical antagonizing of the whites and
blanks in the H uth, it would seem that it
can only be actualized by securing
through our own act as a people, tho dis
placement of our present black laborers
with a fore’gn wh t* lubor. Since the fix
ed and persistent determination, now
palpable to every one, ia to get rid of tho
blacko, and this ia only abolitionism car
ried out to its logical completeness ; and
siocs the fuel bus also been developed
und made patent to radicalism, that the
negro cannot be mode ioiurraotionul,
w hlch would inevitably result In his ex
termination, tlicro is manifestly no way
left to abolitionism to realize itaelf, save
tho adroit run of getting ua to kill the
negro by imported lubor. Wu then fore
deprecate tho thing in this nspoct of it.
Its humniiitarianism is devilish, and our
whole soul revolts at it. We trust that
in vindication of tho fuct of our being our
former slaves beat frionda, we will not be
wheedled by their anomies to da them a
lasting and futul wrong, os thoy ociiiihcI
us to do, but thut wo will historically
demonstrate that fact by continuing them
ii* onr laborers. And we should do this
nguin no less on the scoro of economy to
ourselves. It is hardly necoesnry how
ever, to ui go this pica - f a cheaper labor.
Mankind uro quick enough to find out
nud take advantage of their own pocunij
ary interests. That ia tho cheapest labor,
which is tho moat ready nod tho most ef
ficient. This is a little different from the
usual statement, which runs snmewhut
thus: The rhenpest is the lowest price.]
Ours is yet an agricultural country; tho

Y’o answer, that organized labor is
not u thing of legislation, but a creature
of growth. It receive* its form, and ia
rcgulatod by its own laws. Y’o must
not forget that as an euliglitonend peo
ple, wo of the South alone of all others,
nro ns yet in our first days experience in
free labor, nil other enlightened peoples
have preceded u* in thia particular, nnd
we ure only bow couforming to what
seem* about to become un universal law.
Y'hsl else could wo rationally look for in
a transitional period, than'nouio imperfec
tion in the wordings of a labor not yet
by reason of its novelty adjusted in any
of its part* : Depend upon it, a system
will result—an organization mint come,
and thnt this w ill be hastened Of retard
ed just ip proportion to our intelligent
coroperation with tho material now on
hand. Y e nro glad to kuow that many
of our more iutolligsnt nnd humane plan-
Ur^, ure projecting arrangements to om-
ploy the freodmen for another year. In
this wny, elements seemingly tho most
disonrdunt, nnd things most awry, taken

thia subject than we poaaosa, we will

The man who wns a fVe* sms to tho

It matters not whether the pooplo in

si c told that feeding with corn for a short
time before killing will harden tho lard.
This is doubtful. Tho additional layer
of lard deposited while th* hog i* fed on
corn will he hard ; and the mixing may
harden the soft lard to some extent —
Hence tho longer the hog i* fed on corn
tho better.
In the sections where the ground pea
doe* well, aim usually docs not. There
fore the ground pea has been strong
recommended in fcUcinng hog*. Dut i.t is
?V* Iru® that in the same sections the
sweet potato* yields abundantly ; and
this crop has many advantages over tho
ground pea. It is easier cultivated : is
of quicker growth, can Imj propagated
from vines cutting after tho busy spring
neason i* over, nnd nt times when it
is too" wot to plow nnd hoe. It i* better
to fatten hog* l>ecau*c the lard though
durk is firm. Tho crop i* easily gath
ered, may serve a* food fur man in lieu
of bread and meat: good for cat tic and
horses,und the hog* will fatten on what
is left in the field.
Mode of culture: Tho ground |*ea
roquiror. tho long seasons ami sandy
noil of tho lo\v-country. Y’o havo tried it
on the rich soil of Cedar valley, with n
yield of rank vines and but few pea* snd
they poorly matured : nnd on th# san
dy soil in Locator County Gn, with fine
yield. Many person* hull tho pea tn
plant. This is tedious and nonecc**nry
by it tho cuticle of th* kernel is often
thus broken. Planting in the hull often
givoe two or three semi in a place, in*
ronsing tho chnnec* i f n stand, with
out which the pea orop is a failure. It
is an error to stipposo tho germinating
plnnt has not vigor to break tho hull.
Guard well tho field lin'd tho young
plants toko root; for tho {hinted seed
yet sound, und exposed at tho aurfaco,
offers peculiar temptations to the birds
st that season of tho year.
