LETTER FROM ARKANSAS.
From and Estecincd Subscriber.
Warren, Ark., Feb. 1(5, 1874.
Ma}. .1. Jl. Calhoun, Editor Sun and
Ku'i mr;
A recant visit to your section of Geor
gia constilures one of tho sad eras in my
life. However, tho meeting with numer
ous frieuds calle.l up a thousand pleasant
reminiscences of early life, which made
me involuntarily sigh, “Oh, would I were
a boy again !”
But when I visited tho soenes of my
boyhood, the old homestoad, tho neigh
borhood schoolhouao aud churches, tho
old home of my “first love,” what a
change I behold. Dilapidation and ruiu
wore the promiueut features of every
placo. Tho eye wearied at the intermin
able waste, tho vast fields of sedge grass
and piuo thickets, through which the
north wind whistles the moureful dirge
of departed hopes, where, but a few years
ago, wore magnificent and fertile farms
owned by the most prosperous and happy
people with whom I ever met.
Who is the author of this ruin ? What
caused this groat and sad change ? were
juestious I asked every day. Col. B.
«aid tho agents of gnano and life insur
ance companies had mined tho country.
Others said it was tho loss of reliable
labor. But observation induced me to
believe that it was implicit complyanoo
ith the imperious mandates of “King
Cotton,” for 1 found tho wholo popula-
his willing subjects, who agree
hat one aero planted
corn than tin
[ban five will muke.
Prior to the late w
farmer in all that section to buy Wostern
flour; they either produced it at
ir bought of their neighbors —
aisod their own meat or bought in the
ioinity; and 3till they found time to
nake ootton nt from 5 to 0 cents with
rhich to buy nogroes and fine mulos.
They gave no mortgages.)
The wholo secrot is, “tho present gen-
ration have departed from tho faith of
ir fathers,” who “lived in the lap of
ury," while they are I ho bankrupt dupes
a false theory—squatting upon a //<
'cad, given thorn by tho Logislaturi
expense of tho unfortunate merchant,
rho fed their families and a battalion of
re negroes.
Will not this programme ruin any
louutry or people V
1 found many people bitterly cursing
ce negroes as the uuthors of thoir mis-
rtunes, and still greatly opposed to any
nving the country. They throw every
jstacle in the way, and look upon every
an who takes one out of tho country as
i enemy. This reminds mo of the fol-
wiug article, which appeared in your
iper of tho 21st January :
CARIIYINO MINORS FROM OEOROIA.
‘I'osteyday, on tho petition of Handy
ooli.s aud Berry Williams, colored,
flge Williams granted a writ of habeas
]><i8 for tho recovery of their sou and
lighter. They alleged that certnin
ills were carrying them to Arkansas,
the children were minors. Tho cuko
(l smissed on the minors being de
rail to their paronts. Samuel C.
oher, Esq., represented the petition*
Will not tho Legislature, now in ses-
\ enact a law ns will protect the farm-
interest of tho eouu'ry, by making a
unary remedy for the punishment of
se who induce laborers to violate their
tracts?”
Ah I was tho recipient of all the sweets
lied) of the aforesaid writ of habeas
s, I must say that your reporter or
formant misrepresented the fact*, and
mu?l C. Hatcher—alias Jo/,,, Jiass
\tchcr—knows it. When inform**.! by
tcLer of his intention, I told him 1 had
rer seen the minors, nor did J kuow
}thing of them—they were neither di*
tly nor indirectly in my employment.
went to tho depot, and seeing for
tnsolf that they were not there, did
and there dismiss tho writ, l.ecuuse
mew ho was on tho wrong track.
Blanford and Thomas will verify
statement. I am surprised that
richer did not correct the published ac
tant, knowing it to bo untruo in eveiv
ktioular.
(Now, fin for tho appeal to th- Legisda-
o to protect tho interest of | 1 -uteri, it

If I bavo no legitimate right to go to
Georgia to hiro a citizen for $100, when
they are worth hero $200, then it is crim
inal in me to buy prints from Tom Blanch
ard, of Columbus, at ten cents, when they
hell here for sixtoou cents. But drive on
with your legislation, it is worth more to us
thau all out emigration societies andagents.
You are destined to lose the negro, aud it
would bo well for you “to put your house
in ordor.” They are gruvitating to tho
Mississippi valley—the Egypt of America
—and wo will try to profit by your mis
takes.
In conclusion, I will advise all the sub
jects of “King Cotton” to emulate the ex
ample of old Jacob, who, according to
history, sont ouly twice to Egypt for corn
before he struck his tents aud moved down
to tho land of plenty. Como on ; hero is
room for forty million.
I hopo you will pardon tho oxtrome
length of this letter, for, like the Irishman
in his prayer, I could not find a stopping
place sooner. Respectfully, Ac.,
