Having noticed numerous articles In your

what with mo, I will also give my views, as I
have every reason to believe that my plan Is
equally successful.
Tho number of my hands Is thirty. I hnvo
them as near equally divided as possible, of
females anil males. I do this In order that
each man may have Ills wife on tho premises.
They then have no excuse for leaving home.
I never permit my servants to leavo tho plan
tation except on business or to attend church
—neither do I permit other negroes to visit
my place. I have seen tho Inconsistency, as
well as evory owner of slaves, of their visit
ing j therefore, I prohibit It. I have them to
tlso In time to bo at their labor by light.—
Their breakfast hour Is olglit o’clock. At
this meal they have bread a small portion of
meat, a cup of coffee and buttermilk, which
o'clock, I repeat tho meat and bread and ns
many wholesomo vegetables as they wish.—
Vegetables I find to be very wholesomo, and
they then require loss meat and bread. In
tho winter they ltavu one hour, and summer
three, to rest In tho heat; of tho day. I don't
know that I laso by this, as they work much
faster while they are at It. At supper, which
Is when their day's labor is closod, they have
bread and ntllk, I give them molnses at near
ly evory meal j that saves meat also. I never
heard one of my negroes cumplaln that ho did
not have sulficlunt to cat. I nuver permit
them to work after night, ns I fool fully com
pensated with their day's labor. I require
them to retire at 0 o’clock precisely. Tho
foreman calls tho roll at that hour, and two
or three times during tho night, to seo that
all are at their places. By having tills rule
strictly adhered to, I never find any difficulty
in raising fowls, pigs and numerous articles
that other fitrmers find difficulty In'rnising.
I never found it necessary to employ an
overseer j my foreman answers evory purposo,
as I live on my plantation and give my indi
vidual attention to it, which every farmer
should do who wishes his farm to prosper.
Bach of the men lias an ncro of ground to
cultivate of his own, and I reward tho ono
that gathers tho largest and best crop. With
the proceeds of their crop they purchase their
Buuday clothing; they also furnish their cof-
feo which I permit them to drink every morn
ing for breakfast, as it has some influence to
drive off tho effect of the dew. I am partic
ular that they keep their clothes neat as well
as their housus and yards, which I find they
can do much easier since I prohibited their
cooking anything whatever in their houses.
I have all their meals cooked in tho kitchen.
I have noticed that when they did their own
cooking, they did it at night when tired, and
tholr provisions wero either not half done or
burnt partly up; therefore they were not
wholesome. I allow them to havo a dance
occasionally, but conflhod to ray own negroes.
I think it a very harmless arausemont. They
arc much more cheerful and happy when in
dulged occasionally. I generally give them
two or three big dinners, as they are termed,
during the year. That also has a tendency
to cheer them, and It always contributes large
ly to my happiness to see others happy, par
ticularly thuse who are dependent on mo. I
always give them half of eaclt Saturday, and
often the whole day, at which time the men
cultivate their crops, and tho women do their
household work—therefore they are never
idle.
By pursuing this plan with my servants,
tkcr peroeive that I havo an interest in their

The Irishman and the Deaoon.
A few months ago as Dencon Ingalls, of

western pait of tho State of New York, befell
In with an Irishman who had lately arrived
In this country, and who was in quest of u
brother that came on before liitit and settled
in some of the diggings in that vicinity.
Pat was a strong atlilutic man; a true Cath

testant church It was a pleasant Sabbath
morning that brother Ingalls met Put, win.

Ingalls was a good, pious man. lie told
Pat lie was guing to tho church himself, and
invited his now made acquaintance to accom

ing a small Methodist meeting house ncurliy.
Thera was a great revival there nt the time,
and ono of the deacons (who by the ivuy, was

to take a seat in Ills pew. l(u ncccptcd thu

a whisper which could lie heard ull uruund
inquired—
" Sure, anil Isn’t this a heretic church 1"
" Hush 1" said Ingalls, " it you speak a loud
word they will put yuu uut."
" Dlvll a word will I Bpeak at all at all," re
plied Put.
Tho meeting was openod with prayer hy the
pastor. Pat was eyeing him very closely,
when suddenly an old gentleman who was in

with his loud whlslier w lull was head try thu

Tho |uirson grew more and more fervent In

un inaudible groan. “ His-st. ye blackguard
have ye no daoencynt nil at all 1” said Pat at
tho snmo moment giving the dencon a punch
in tho ribs, which caused him nearly to loose
his equilibrium. The minister stopped, and
extending Ills hand in a supplicating manner

" Yes, your rivoronce,” shouted Pat, “ I

The Hon. William C. Dawson, of Georgia de

umetrically in opposition to tho established
