ON BENJAMIN WADE. Renowned for blasphemy and canting, M ade in the balaee and found waning. The odds are millions to a pin lie’* not an “Uj per Benjamin.” 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. — Answers to the name of J:m.

Smith. 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 can’t eat souls, and il l could it would take a thousand such as yours to make a single meal. —“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.” is very difficult to live,” «aid a widow with seven girls, all in gen teel poverty. “You must husband your time,” said a sage friend, -i had rather husband some of my daugh ters. ’ said the poor lady. —A young lady in the millinery line having been deserted by her lover, exclaimed : “Such a menial ought tu be battered to death with thimbles, and hurried in a bandbox !?’ —-The most remarkable ease of in decision we have ever heard of, was that ol a man who sat up all night, because he could not decide w hich to take off first, coat or his boots.
