THE MEUHO ASill THE flOL'TH~ A gentleman who has just re turned from an extentcd trp over the Nprth, says the Southern peo ple do not know how to perfectly appreciate the negro as a farm la borer and a domestic; that after be saw the trouble and strife in the North and West, and the uncer tainly that surrounded every busi ness, he felt that he had reached au Kden of peace and quiet on land ing in Georgia. While Cuffee has his fallings, he is the best and cheap est labor the South can get, and even were it possible to rid the country of this race, it would be a sad mistake on the part of the whites to do bo. The trouble with our larmers is not so much the fault of the negro, ns the fact that is it bard for them to get out of their old ante-bellum ruts, when labor was counted as nothing and no effort waB made at improving the fields. Our farmers, instead of working five acres to grow one bale of cotton, should so prepare the land as to make two bales on one acre, and the same increase in the other crops. It is just as easy to work an acre of laud that will produce 1,000 pounds of lint cot ton, as an acre that can grow 100 pounds. The negro ts an imitator of the white man, and when he sees former masters or land lords scratch ingovera vast sn face of ground that can unly produce stunted crops, it is natural that Cuffee will go and do likewise, only a little more so. To improve the negro the white farmer must first improve himself Kxample with this race is everything Intensive farming can be the only salvation of our agriculturalists. Sell off your sur plus lands and pay your debts, and then what you do cultivate let it be thoroughly done. Vou can hire two negroes for less than one im ported white laborer will cost you and you can find plenty of darkies, too, who will do as mucb work as any one. By reducing the area cultivated, our planters can let the black drones and idlers go, and hunger will soon force them to terms. By intensive farming, your wages of hands can be raised, and whenever you Increase the pay of any class of laborers you tienefit all around them. So long as our far mers persist'in “butchering” their fields they will grow poorer and poorer, and the negro more thrift less.—Athens Banner. Representative James, of New York, objected to the motion to print the prayer of the Chaplain of the House in the Record, invoking divine blessing upon the cause of the workingmen in their struggle against the capacity and despotism of monopolies. He said the prayer was “Incendiary.” That is a pet phrase with fellows of his ilk, the defenders of stock gamblers and the bloated aristocrats who abuse the power of money and make it a curse instead of a blessing. It re minds us of the cry of “treason" which the Tories raised when Patrick Henry uttered hit memor able Indictment against the English tyrant. Let Mr. Wall Street James profit by the suggestion implied in the patriotic Virginian’s immortal reply to the enemiea of liberty.
