' 0VERSEER8. An overseer or supervisor on n plantation * no unimportant office, and although in 'our Southern country that class constitutes k a very considerable portion of the population, yet there can be no doubt, that but a very inconsiderable number, (so called) overseers, fill very short of filling that responsible, and I will add honorable position, with any great interest to their employers, or with much credit to themselves. NYhy this is the case becon es no unimportant question to be consider d?this would be a task, which, with my limited experience nnd capacity, 1 would not claim to be at all com petent. I will, however, give some few thoughts of my own on the subject, hoping, as this is a matter of such vital importance to tho Southern planter, that of your numerous contributors, son e will enlarge and throw light upon the sul ject,and add to the general good, not only of the employer, but to those who are engaged in that buiainess. Tho first reason which presents itself to my mind, why there are so many indifiVoent overseers in our Southern country, is to he attributed to the mistake which a large number of employers make in getting cbenp men to nttend to their business, without regard to their moral, intellectual, or business qualifications, hence, the occupation is disgraced by those in persnnnce of it, rather than the occupation itself, being degrading poor pay !(to use a common expression to convey this ides, "poor preach,") and that class of individuals, who find it easier to overlook others at work than to work themselves, nnd yet half attend even to that?they set iu only to kill tiino, nnd get through tho year and then find a new home in some distant part of the country, where their fume has n<?t extended ' and thus they go on front year to year, to ' the great injury of those who employ them, v nnd also to the more worthy and rnnscicn* " cious who ore in the same capacity, by x bringing that branch of business into disre- * . pnte and disgrace. A second reason why there are so many indifferent men attending to this branch of industry, is again chargeable to the employ, a era, and this source of injury consists in the L faet that too many planters for various rea- n sons, best known to themselves, reside at a f] distance from their plantations, while the whole management of the crop and all oth- ? cr interests are loft to the overseer, who in '' too many instances has no higher motive thaa to pocket a small salary, and then as n before remarked, look for another location, li having left a lasting and interesting iuipres- 0 sion on the mind of his last employer. c A third source of injury to this class of our population, and consequently rendering them less useful to their employers, is the " absence of proper Associations. No man f should ever employ nn overseer who is uu- ? worthy of his o ? n association. Every em- T plover should seek to eoinmunicato fully H with l<is overseer, not only on matters that j( f pertsin to his pecnliar occu|>ation,hut upon ^ subjects of general imporiante and interest ll and if possible, inspire in him a desire to < fc . read at nil leisure times. In every neighborhood tho planters should form agricul * tural societies for tiu* purpose of couununU a Seating to each other useful information and tl instruction. The overseers should b? par- * ticul.rly invited to become tncml>cr* of the tj society, and especially wonld we recommend j, to both employer and ovsraoer to tako a co- . pv of your valuable paper, (tho Hull of the South,) or some Southern Agricultural- 11 Journal. * J 1 have thus far, Messrs. Editors charged ft primarily, the iiiefleiooeies of overseers to b the omplovers, ia which i do not doubt the L fault, as a general thing cini nates. We w P could now speak m >re spccifKcally and pur- ,. ' ponnlly of the long catalogue of ills nnd c, wrongs which is chargeable nlono to tho ? R "woverseer himself, but it would be an intrufc , sion ".pon your columns. We have nlrcady given a different range to our thoughts, than we intended. ( 1 will just odd in conclusion, that we in tended simply to give our view* o f what constitutes a good overseer, what his <iu- T ties, Ac.

A poor orphan hoy named Theodore ras only seven years old when he attracted he notice of a gentleman of fortune and disinction. who was fond of indulging a fancy, , laudable one it was?of doing good by I toalth, and making people happy without lisclosing the author of the benefaction, lie used the young lad to he well clothed, sent '? school, and afterwards educated at a culi'ge. Theodore became a distinguished cholur, but was never able all this time to icnetrate the secret of his generous friend, lis bills were regularly paid,and he himself ihorally, though economically, supplied kith necessary money for his pocket; but ic could only see his benefactor in his works t may he well supposed he did not fail to I S ik him from the bottom of his heart, a liousand times for he had a tender one, ingratitude was not among his failings. The first thing that lie did after leaving endemic quitt, was to pen a virulent libel in an eminent gentleman, who happened to e identified with a cause against which the ocicty which Theodore frequented, was pnsionately opposed. Theodore was known o he talented and to hold n sharp pen ; he kits therefore niitiirnllv ??! ..I...A ........... J?I ....... v JMIVUIU HI UV.I1 li? assassin's blow, lie was in the nieanime not icqiiHinted with the merits of the ontroversj', as few young n en are, who get xcitcd in a quarrel; as for the gentleman iv was to assault, he knew nothing at all of lim, except that he was a celebrated man, aid most persons spoke well of him. That v as of no consequence, however; his wit ind satire were a gift intended doubtless not 0 be neglected, as iheir possessors generilly think, so he lent himself to the inllic* ion of foul slander on one he did i otknow. The effects of this truculent nttack was onsidcrahlc; for poison will have its operition, by whatever hand and on whatever terson it shall l?e administered. An anonyuous libel, like a musket-ball, is equally detractive, whether the trigger be pulled by 1 child or a man; by hired assassin, or a nistaken man of honor. The charges in his case had a certain effect at first, but aferwards exposed, and proved entirely false. Two years after this, as Theodore was fitting one morning in his office, he received i letter inviting him to call at No.?in I reel, at 12 o'clock the next day. lie did o; and was then informed by the executor f the excellent man whom he had igloranllv traduced, that he had left him a legacy of tivc thousand dollars accompanied vith words of encouragement to persevere n his honorable course of honest industry md generous hopes. He was further cut to be heart to learn from the papers of the lepartcd, that it was he also that took the irphan from the gutter, and befriended him is long as he lived, und whose ntl'cctiouate tilidness death itself had been unable to exinguish These disclosures sunk down into his leartand rankled there forever, llis guilty leerut was felt at times during all his days, lehing like an u. healed wound. He went from the executor of his seeoml father an dtcrcd man, slid made a resolution which he dways religiously kept, never to spcuk ill igaia of a man lie did not know. This was lie self covenant of Theodore. It should mj ours; otherwise we may he found us he v.is. spitting vonoin on our best earthly 'riciid and benefactor. As we would add to his the advice not to speak harshly of one vc know, unless we are certain he deserves he censure, and that it will not produce uore harm than good.
