JB#* We clip the following com munication from the Monroe Atlver tiser of the 29ih ofiiwtreh, nnd think it wiN prove interesting to uur farm ing friends; LABOUR-FOUR YEARS’ TRIAL OF THE WAGES AND CROPPING SYS TEMS. Editor Advertiser: With cotton planters, the the labour supply is still the question. The fact now realized, that the decrease in quantity, there has been no improvement in .the character and quality of negro labour, is a great disappointment to their hopes and expectations. Having for four years had under trial two modes of working freed men, I give the following results : My farming force, upon an aver age, has been about six hands at standing wages—five freedmen work ing with and under a white man, aid ed by myself; and about double that number living on the outskirts of my plantation, working on shares. In the four years, the half dozen have made as much cotton, corn, fodder, hay, peas and potatoes as the dozen —ten times as much tfbeaf. Cane, pork, beef and butter, and considera ble quantities of oats, rye, barley, dried fruit, etc., of which the others made none, 'ihe half dozen have kept out houses and fencing in t<d ru ble repair, kept open hillside ditches, with heavy ploughs and strong teams turned over and subsoiled much of the land which they cultivate, and with the aid ot what manures could be hauled out, and a rather limited supply of prepared fertilizers, have the land under process of improve ment.. But the freedmen working for wages have-been more expensive and given much more trouble and vexa tion than those “cropping.” An in credible amount of patience, forbear ance, and endurance—especially with the man working them—have been required to g t along with their con duct and to keep them going at a paying rate ; and the little success 1 have had is attributable to good tare, liberality in small matters, prompt, fair and faithful dealing with them, self-control and some tact. 'Seeing there i< no help for it, I subnet to the following ordeal; I arouse them from their slumbers at the third cock crowing—when gray morn first shows her smiling face— wait long enouh to gear a team of mules ; call for each <>ne individually to start fires, etc., attend them in the performance of these duties; notify them that breakfast awaits their pleasure ; inform them of the expira tion of a reasonable time f<>r that re past ; direct them to the held, and remind them of the necessity of curry ing tools to work with ; fo.low after them to shut gates, put up bars, etc., show where and how to begin the day’s work, while move off, humming a matin song strikingly ex pressive of indifference and uncon cern, or sounding out in bugle tones some native chorus to be echoed back from neighbouring lulls, aret taken up by other throats with lungs as strong and clear ; when one job i.> finished, conduct them to the next, which otherwise would spoil half a day’s work ; gather up tools, wafer vessels, etc., which they leave behind; inform them when their comfort would be enhanced by doffing h yarn eoat, and when it rains suggest the pro priety of donning it again : jog the r memory of the desirableness of prompt attendance at dinner hour ; water and teed (or see it done) ;.ny stock which they may be u>ing ; grati fy (be the circutastanc s as they may) tlfc/r special propensity for leave taking on Saturday evening ; specify and direc their attention to the va ri ms little yard and lot dudes which ;*re made their daily business; wake them up tor supper, declining to main up tor the pupose they are not told to go to bed, hence —they never go. Most of this routine must be gone over more than three hundred time' the fir.-t year, and j ist as often the next and all succeeding years. U; e\-> time and patience are pretty heavily taxed, but under proper self-control and conformity to tiie exigencies of the times, these duties will not be more burdensome and disagreeable— while they pay —than the care, troub les anti ri>ks attending almost any other calling or vocation in which farmers eould profitably engage. Energetic and infeligeut white la bourers are altogether preferable, but these will not long remain on cotton-planting estates as hire- Unas ; and that class of white men who are no better than negroes, are a great deal worse. My “cropping” hands work my host lehth, and :tre much more in telligent, industrious and experienced than those I work at wages. They make ;t feeble effort to follow my «x --ample and to win k according to my and r c i»ns; they try to do well, and aim to succeed, and really think they are getting on ‘*firstrate ;” but they don’t value time—it slips by them corttinua ly. They see no mcessit.v flor doing a thing well, and for pains taking they have an utter contempt. In short, except under compulsion, full, complete and thorough work is entirely beyond their capacity. Though the negroc.s amongst us are not what we would have them to he, w e must take them aud learn to and al with them as they are. God, in his providence, has made them such, and I do not suppose that any transformation, coming up to our standard of perfection, will ever take place. I shall not be surprised if the future history of the Ethiopian proves that his habits areas unchange able as the collor of his skin. Am long as the raising of cotton pays a handsome profit, we will give him employment, and, in some way, man age to get along With his peculiari li.is; but if, in the early future, the raising of cotton should cease to pay, that wdl he an evil day for C iffee. 'rhencefort.il his tendency will be to where tiie berriea grow and the small game hideth—hereabouts, iu the swamps of EOITACONNEE.

The other ref.lied that he was very well and had married since they last saw each oth er. That is g >od news indeed, said the first. Kay, replied the other, not very good either, for I have married a shrew. That is bad. Not so very bad, either, for I had ten thousand dollars with her. H i ! that makes all well again. Not so well as you tl ink, for 1 laid out the m-rney on a flock of sheep, and they died of the rot. That was hard truly. Not so hard neither, fur I sold the skins for more than the sheep cost me. You were lucky, at any rate. Not so lucky ne you think for I purchased a house with the money,' and the house burned down uninsuiv e «. That, indeed must have been a great lo^s. &ot so great a loss.

How a man Married His Own Sis ter. —The Dedham Patriot says that a marriage once took place at Can ton, Mass, under the following eir* cumstanees : The bridegroom, when quite a small boy, ran away from his parents, who lived in Lower Canada, [ii process of time the father died/ ihe mother married again, and tho fruits of this union were several daughters. The daughters grew up, and the parents not having the means to support them, they went to work in’fac:ories. One strayed to Canton factory, where, by a fortuitous cir cumstances, the runaway happened to be at work. He soon became ac duainted with this gild, and before a full history of each other’s origin was developed, married her. In a few days it was ascertained that they borh h done mother. This, ofi#irse, greatly confused and astonished both po ties, from which arose strong con scientious scruples as to the proprie of brother and sister living together in a state of matrimony ; and upon mature consideration they resolved mutually to dissolve their connection us man and wife. Section it Strife. —lt seems that sectional strife will ever exist in tho United Suites; and that is a part of the American Republic. On uce-uryC of the main bone of contention—•that of shivery—a bitter sectional feeling •»f strife was exerted between what was termed the North and South. Now there is every indication of sec tional strife between the West and dust on ac.'ouut of the Tariff ques tion, w. ich it is sud will be made an i-suc next f ill. The West seems de termined that such shall be the case. The !St. Paul Dispatch, a strong Re publican paper, says: “When this war between the West and the East shall wage —and wage it will with a rancor that wdl produce hate between these two sections of the Union—the political situation, strength of parties, etc, will become changed. Let the South be patient! Holding the bal ance of power, she will have the op portuni y of doing much good, and working < ut her own political galrt» dun. * —lennessee Advertiser.
