The Baltimore Sun, of .S’.tnrday, say*, “the process of subdividing the large plantations into smaller farms U going ou steadily in the South, even in the states where the old system hud taken the deepest hold.

In Mississippi, for instance, there were 12.84b plantations in 1800, and the avernge number of acres in each wa* 370. Ten years later there were 03,023 farm*, the average»r-a being 193 acres iu 1830 the number of farm.*, was 75,- 205, averaging 185 acres each. While the aera of cultivated laud is less tiiau it was in 18G0, yet the production of cotton is nearly twice a* gieut. The census of 1890 will doubtles* show a still greater change in the domestic e ouomy of the South, tts indicated by a large nutntor of land owners and a vast increase in agricultural products. According to this showing, Missis¬ sippi lias nearly doubled the numb-r of her farms since the war, and, with Ls land in cultivation, shows an in¬ creased yield of cotton to nearly double what it was in 1860. This gives a lively idea of a force led and Hie tame force driven. The one is uuder the eye o. the employer, and if he ba a very efftctive hand ready seta the measure of the day’s work. But it is not more the efficiency of the labor than the closer economics and the better management that are prac tieablo ou the small farm, where the eye of the proprietor follows every interest.

Wo hope the system of sma’l farms and small fortes will gow till the South swarm* with tin Bi—rivaling each other in their thrifty and neat appearance—showing sung houses and boras—trim fences, picture quo gar¬ dens and frnit orchards—pi asant and prosperous neighborhood*—good so¬ ciety, good schools and ehurchcs, and all the comforts of a high rural civili zatiou. These thiags are no more impossible in the Southern States than anywhere else, they will mark an im¬ proving popnlatk a.
