The Labor Questions Cor. Chronicle and Sentinel.] As the question ot labor is the all impor tant one with our planters, I trust a few remarks on this subject will nor he wholly urnit preciated by many of vour readers. We propose to show that m gro labor is better adapted to our cotton growing States, and must succeed better than any other element that can be introduced. In the first place, the negro is naturally berer adapted to ouraimost tropical climare tliuo any other race on earth. Why? Be citi-e he is of a hard. i< r and more robust con-titution. and has been accustomed to this kind of work for generations pact The thick and woolly coverinfr of his rraui um seenrs to have been destined by Provi dence to fit him for the nvd summer rays of our almost tiopical sun. and it is an estab lished fact that, he is less subject to the dis„ cases which are so often produced by ex p >sure to the sun, than titty other rice on earth. None can deny that he was all suf ficient as a slave. The question then is. can they he made as efficient as formerly? Negro labor, we know, is very much demor alised ; hut we contend that this is a mat ter which may he regulated by the planters themselves Hut how.? Simply by ad >pt insr th° same plan that other people have adopted with freed laborers. Let planters throughout, the South organ, ize into societies, and pass suitable resolu tions, and the end is accomplished. Let each man hind himself to ahHe by tlp’se rules, &nd let the society require it at the hands of all. Let the employers resolve not to employ, or furnish any provisions to any laborer, that comes without a free dis missal and recommendation from his former employer. This is * nlv justice to all par ties, ant! will work good by forcing the laboring population to look to their own interest, by attending strictly to their duties. The negro must live, and he cannot unless he is advanced a support by the capitalists who employ him. If he will Work, it is the white man's interest to’ employ him, and he t Call dn if. Let, this plan he universally adopted, and free labor will work on in a smooth channel and much trtofe agreeably than heretofore Do thifS, and plant within the h »unds of reason, farmers, and you will succeed aud prosper Once more. very respectfully, Agricj >la. .Tosli Hillings on t lie Gaos. The goos is a grass animal, but don’t ohaw her cud. They are g »od livers, about one acre to tho jj„os is enuff, a'tho th,pre is so fire folk's who thinks one goos to 175 acres is nearer right. These two calculations is so far apart it is difficult to tell now which will finally win. But i don’t think if i had a of 175 aer*>s awi paid for. that i would sell it for half what it w as worth just because it dido’t have hut one goop on it. Gooses stav well, some of our hes r biogra phers says 70 years, and grow tough to the hist. Tha la one egg at nnce. about the siz* of a goos egir. in which the goslins lie hidd. The goslin is the goose's baby. The go *s don’t suckle hisyoung, hut turns frini our to grass on somebody's vakant lot. Tha seems to lack wisdom, hut are gener ally considered sound on the g >os. Tlt a are good eatin hut riot go >d chawin ; the reasons ov this remains a profound gekret to the present day. , When the fetnail goos is at work hatebin, she is hard to please', she riles clear up from the bottom in a mlnnit, and she will site s yoke of oren if tha show her the least hit of £us'. t , The goos is excellent for feathers, which are shed every year-by the handful. Tha are also amfibicus, besides several other kinds "f cuss. But tha are mostly curious about one thing. Tha kan bawl up one leg into their bodv, - and stand on turher awl da, and not touch anyrhig with their hands. I take notis thar ain’t but ffew men kan d6 this-' The Hint Laws of Conuecticntl Many of <>ur readers, who have often heard of tb<§ Connecticut “blue laws” have probably never had tin opportunity of perusing that famous code. The.territory n>.w comprised in the State of Connecticut was formerly two colonies, Connecticut and New Haven. The colony of Connecticut was planted by emigrants from Ma-sachu setts at, Windsor, ip 1<»33, and at Hartford and Weather'field in 1035 and 1036 The other colony, styled by its founders the db- . mitiion of New Haven, wtis se'tled by emi grants from England ip 1018.

[Nuts —The above laws were originally printed <>n blue paper, on which account they were called the “Blue Laws.”— ton Courier. “When' I g *es a snoppmg.” said an old lady, “1 aHera ask for what I wants, and if they have it. and it’s suitable, and I feel inclined to take it, and it’s chean, and it can’t he got at any place for less, I almost aliers take it. without chaffering'ail dity, as most pec pie d6,” Cotton ami Corn. Careful analyses of the agricultural re ports from the Southern States show that the cr*»p of cotton- this year will fall far I short of th&t of 1870, while the corn vvdl probably be the iatgest ever raised in that section. Inthe middle and S rnthern part of Georgia, according pi go.*d local authori ty, the quantity of cotton grown this year j is not only below the average production, 1 but the plant is backward and sickly, a cold I and rainy mason having caused serious j injury. In Northern Alabama, in a part , of Mississippi, and in Tennessee, the reports concerning cotton are still mine unfavora ble. In the Missi-stppi Valley, on the Arkansas and Red Rivers, the. country is fl >oded and all the crops are deficient, tut cot’on is especially feeble. These reports, derived from authentic sources, indicate the coming change in the character of Southern productions. Cotton ceased to he king when the war of the rebellion opened, and although at intervals during the past five years tlie yield of tlie crop has been So ahuuhant as to revive the memory of the old days when a single staple produced ample fortunes, tlie want of re sources and tlie p tucity of labor have been nearly fatal to continued and profitable production. The planters tint! small farm ers of t!»e 8 >utb begin to understand the p isition they occupy. They see that it is idle to and -vote the greater part of their land to the raising of one staple, and that it is the wiser course to give the attention to food crops ami other products which can be grown without fear of total ruin thr mgh the accidents of unfavorable weather or insufficient supplies of labor. It is not surprising to hear tha’ in all parts ot the South ao increased breadth has Been planted in grain, and shat the pr.'R p>*ct. nf an abundant yield of home bread s'tiffs this year is satisfactory. The adapt ability oi’ the Southern land climate to the growth of grain aud other crops, w hich are almost sure to Geld good returns, is a sufficient reason for diminishing the area of cotton culture ; and the planters who are now trying this.eXperiment will find their account in it. The lab >r problem, however, is vet to be solved. The S >uth invites immigration, and it appears from the fre quent applications made to the Labor Bureau at Castle Garden, that farmers are in great demand, hue the inducements offered are coupled with a condition that the immigrant shall pay on his expenses from rite purr at which he lands to the points in the interior where work is waiting fi,r him. This unwise economy prevents the accession of the desired element, and as a natural result the lands of the S >uth do not yield tho crops which systematic hnd care ful ciilture would produce. It and >oS not appear that the unskilled freedruan is more competent than his lan* inejporienc“d master to conquer the diffi culties which obstruct the proper develop mftnt of natural resources; and the process of education is pecessarialiy gradual. What the South wants is an abundance of intelli gent stnd well-direct* and labor, capable of making the rich fields triineP of wealth through steady industry and the best appliances of inventive fikill. The day of cotton as the one great product, has long since passed away, and although there limit always be a steady average yield of that crop for requisite supplies, the safer tind better resource of the majority of South ern farmers will he found in the,- direction so successfully the agricultural producers of the South. The opportunities for useful labor were never so good in the South as now, and the new generation of its people, freed from tlie disasters and trammels which have put hack that region f>r the past ten years, should understand that their first duty is real reconstruction, and hard work is not only honorable hut profitable. The South ern States want a fair start, more labor, more capital, and, above all. more thought ful care of their present and future interests The young nun, not the old, are those by whom the ta-'k of thorough rehabilitation must he performed. They have splendid opportunities before them, and the fault will be their own if the Sooth does not win new and better glories through their in dustrious work th in it ever enjoyed in irs palmiest days.
