Fetter from a Texas Planter.
The following letter, from an old
Texas planter, read it over as often as
you will, contains about as much good,
hard, sense, as you can find nowadays
going the rounds. And, it is truthful,
too, every word of it—as true as
preaching. We find it in the Calves'
ton News, and give it entire. We
cannot cut it dow'h :
Novascotia,Texas, Feb. 13, 18G7.
Eds News —I was appointed, by a
meeting at Novascotia, a delegate to
the Landholders Coi vention of the
10th of January. I did not attend for
sever ii reasons. I was not a large
landholder— could easily manage mv
own land —would nrtallow anyone to
dictate to me in what way 1 should
manage it—had no disposition to die
z-e t> other* how they should manage
theirs. 1 did not see how I could do
any good. I have but little confidence
in conventions. Windy, unreliable
men. with more brass than brains, gen
erally take the lead in conventions,
give shape to their proceedings, and
send it to the world as the sentiments
of the people. Let the people act in
thtir individual capacities, after mature
reflection, and they will generally do
right.
I have always been accustomed to
good order and strict discipline on my
plantation. Very soon after the order
of Gen. Granger, in 1805, declaring the
negroes rree I saw plainly that all order
and discipline was gone, Itefore the
end of the year 1805, i was fully sat
isfied that I was too old for the crisis,
aud turned over my planting interests
to my sons. 1 saw too that the negroes
thought that freedom was license,
would not make profitable laborers,
would grow worse every year. I be*
gait to look about for a remedy. Early
in 1800 1 commenced to cut up mv
plantation, near Novascotia, into small
farms, and arrange them for white men.
I continued to act upon that idea
throughout that year, and have this
year my whole plantation cultivated by
white men.
My plan was to lay it off into farms
of Irom forty to sixty acres, build a
comfortable dwelling, cookhouse and
corn crib on each farm, pay the rails
which they might split to enclose
their yards, horse lots and cow pens,
and for any permanent improvement
they m ght put upon the place. 1 rent
my land on different terms. Those
who had money, and preferred it paid
a reasonable money rent per acre:
those who had teams, etc., aud could
purchase provisions, gave a portion ol
the crop —say, 01 e fourth of the cotton,
one third of the corn, potatoes, etc. —
Those who hat 1 no means and were
willing to work faithfully, I furnished
land, learn, tools and forage, and re
ceived one-half of the crop. I have a
good gin-house and screw on the plan
tation, and the renters use it. alternate
ly, in ginning their cotton free ol toll.
Each one has a family yrnlen, free of
rent. I have now twelve renters on
try plantation, and to day can see
them plowing, in every direction in
the field-, and I am relieved of the an
oyance of looking after the idle, lazy
freed negro.
Let me give you one of the results.
Wh *n we settled up with our negroes
last Christmas day, and they were
about leaving for th.*ir new homes,
they a liked me il ihev “might come
and he]})” me “kill hogs.” I told
them 1 would be glad lor them to do so,
and would pay them liberally with
money or meat, and be sure to come
the first cold morning. The cold
morning soon came, but not a single
negro. I saw them in a few days and
taxed them with disappointing me. —
They said it was “100 cold to work."
I then went to Novascotia, where there
were some two hundred loafing about
and succeeded in hiring only four.—
When next cold spell came on, I let
“nig” alone, but sent around to my
renters and asked them to help me
tome and kill hogs; and each one
wanted pork, we could mutually assist
each other. In less than an hour four*
teen men and boys walked into the lot.
We all pitched in (myseli and three
sons among the rest), soon the hogs
were squealing, and by night we had
them all slaughtered and put away. It
wouid have done you good to have
seen us sousing the hogs into the scald
ing hogsheads of water, and jerking oil
the hair.
1 thanked God fervently that I was
independent of the lazy, trifling, freed
negro.
I have cot up iny plantation on the
river into three farms, and rented them
to parties who will this year work them
with negro labor. I have arranged the
houses there in such a way that they
can hereafter be used by white men. —
If the negroes do not work better titan
I now anticipate, I shall go to Georgia
next fall and get industrious, energetic
white men, with their families, enough
to culiivate my land, and let the neg.-o
slide. It all the laige planters and
landholders would pursue the same
plan, and talk less, we should, in a few
years, have the country filled up with
hardy, energetic, industrious white
men, who would aid in developing the
resources of our great State, and make
us a happy and prosperous people.—
The negroes are not doing so well this
year, even as they did the last. All
were loth to make contracts; a great
many have squatted about on little
places to farm to themselves, and a
number are yet undetermined what to
do. I look for a great failure and much
suffering, A great many are dying.
Os my iormer slaves twelve have died
(about 9 per cent.) since they were
freed, two of them killed by carelessly
handling guns, and only one infant
living under twelve months old. What
a picture for their particular friends
who set them free.
1 learn with regret that Col. Brown,
of the Freedmen’s Bureau, of Crimes
county, is to he sent away from us.
Col. Brown has been prompt and at
tentive to his business, since he has
been here, and while he has been rigid
in securing justice to the freed men, he
has respected the rights of the planter,
lie has put his mark upon that under
mining class of while men who have
done so much to demoralize the freed
mau by seducing them away from their
contracts, —Could he remain here, 1
believe the negroes would work faith
fully, aud our prospects would he good
Tor a fair crop. It is a little strange
thiyt as soon as an officer has become
acquainted with people, and learned
their wants and interests, so as to make
himself useful, he is removed. Yours
r. s,m c fully,
Tho. E. Blacksiiear.
A Ghost Story.
Last Tuesday night as Mrs. ,
a lady of rather literary taste and stud
ions habits, sat reading in the draw
ing room, the clock on the mantle-piece
struck twelve ! As the last stroke re
verberated through the apartment, the
door was Hung wide open ! In the act
of raising her head to repel the intrus
ion (anrung for) ol her servant, her
eyes rested on the form of her late hus
band ! She screamed and fell senseless
on the carpet ! This brought up such
members of the family as had not re
tired to rest ; restoratives were adminis
tered ; and when Mrs. had regain
ed her suspended faculties, and being a
woman of strong mind and highly cul
tivated intellect she felt disposed to con
sider the whole distress she had under'*
gone as the result of certain associations
between ihe melancholy tale she had
been persuing and her late los*, opera
ting on a partially deranged nervous
system. She, however, considered it
advisable, that her maid servant should
repose in her chamber, lest any
return of what she considered a nervous
affection, should distress'herself and a
larrn the family. Last Tuesdav night,
leeling stranger and in better spirits
than she had been several months past,
Mrs. dispensed with the pres
ence of her attendant, retiring alone to
her chamber, and went to bed at ten
o’clock. Exactly as the clock struck
twelve, she was awakened from sleep,
and distinctly beheld the appariton she
had before seen, advancing from the ta
ble on which stood Iter night lamp, till
it stood opposite to and drew usid# the
curtains of her bed. She describes her
very blood retreating with icy dullness
to her heart from her vein. The coun
tenance of her beloved in life wore uot
its benevolent aspect ; the eyes once
beaming wnb aflVeti-'n w ere now fixed
with stern regard for the trembling, half
dissolved being, who with the ague ol
desperation, thus adjured him: “Jolin
nv ! dear Johnny!! why have you
come again ?
“Jesse,” slowly and solemnly aspi
rated the shadowy form waving in Ins
hand a small roll of writing paper.—
•Jesse, pay mv newspaper account and
let me rest in peace !
Nearest the fire. —During she
silting of a Court in Contu cticut, not
long ago, on a very .cold evening, u
crowd of lawyers had gathered round
the open fire that burned cheerfully on
the hearth i-i the barroom, v h' li a t av»
eler entered, benumbed and cold ; but
no one moved to give him room to
warm his shins, so lie leaned against
the back part of the room.
Presently a smart young limb ofth*
law addressed him, and the following
dialogue took place ,
“You look like a traveler.”
“Wall, I suppose I am; 1 come all
the way from Wisconsin aloot, at any
rate."
“From Wisconsin ? What a distance
to came on a pair of legs !
“Wall, I done it, anyhow.”
“Did you ever pass through hell in
any of your travels ?”
“Yes, sir; I’ve been through the
outskirts.”
“I thought likely. Well, what are
the manners and customs. Sou.c of
us would like to know.”
“Oil, you’ll find them much the
same as in this place. The lawycis
sit nearest the lire.”
A Mrs, Smith having lost her bus*
band, concludes that the best plan is
to advertise, which she does alter this
fashion : —“Lost strayed, or stolen.
An individual whom I, in an unguarde I
moment of loneliness, was thoughtless
enough to adopt as my husband. He
is a good-lookingand feeble individual,
knowing enough, however, to go in
when it rains unless some good
looking girl offers him her umbrella. —

like a fool, if possible, than ever.-

fellow, and bring him carefully back,
so that I can chastise him for running

A White Mule. —A lriend told its
yesterday of an amusing scene lie wit
nessed lately at the Old river lord.near
Natchitoches, in this State. A negro
had a wagon and a team of six rnulun
which he wished to drive across.—
The two lead mules toak kindly to the
water, hut one of the hind ones, u
white mule, obstinately refused to en
ter the stream. Jumping from his seat
in a furious passion the teamster began
beating the perverse one with migtit.
and main, exclaiming between the
blows, “You think you’s white, dons
you? Bull’ll show you dam quick
colored mules is as good as you is.
Gee up!” — N. O. Crescent 18/7*.
good Methodist minister out
West, who lived on a very small salary,
was greatly troubled at one time to get
his quarterly installment. lie had
called on his steward a mint her of
times, but at each time had been p\.t
off with some excuse. His wants at
length became urgent, and he went to
the steward and told him he must have
the money, as his family were suffering
for the necessaries of life.
‘Money,’ replied the steward, “you
preach for money ! I thought you
preached lor the good of souls.”
“Souls!” replied the minister, “1

take a thousand such as yours to make

—“Does the court understand you to
say, Mr. Jones, that you saw the editor
of the Augur of Freedom intoxicated ?”
“Not at all, sir. I merely said that I
had seen him frequently so flurried in
his mind that he would undertake to
cut out copy with the snuffers, that’s
all.”
