Letter on Agriculture.
By F. W. 1$RUG.QEMAN.
t
Letter II---Free-labor, and Slave
labor.
However great the losses oo
casioned by tho war, and ospeci
ally in regard to the emancipation
of tho slaves; nevertheless, the f
South will enter upon a futuro, t
Which, without this calamity, de
plored and still to be deplored,
perhaps would never have dawned. t
We life in an age, in which free
labor, alone, is alcuowledged ; in
which, only by freo-labor,can any
thing great in handiwork be
achieved.
I this respoet, tho South re
sembles Russia. In this country 1
also has slavery 'been 'abolished;
and, in consequence, results have
been obtained in agriculture and
0 t
man ufactures, which had, pre
viously, been considered impossi
ble.
The reason, why agriculture,
conducted with free-labor, obtains
a higher standard than what has
been gained by slaves, is ver"y ap.
parent. As the latter class of la
bor is very cheap, it is little prized.
The slave will seldom do more
than he is compelled to do; for he
t
does not consider his own inter
ests identical with tOose of his
master. But with the hireling it
is different. The increasing wel
fare of' his employer is also ad
Valitageous to himself. When
his labor has received income, ho
is justified in asking higher wages,
and this carrie. him nearer the
end which every industrious work
main desires to ieaeh namely the
possessioln of at homestead. Now,
those mon who become owners of
land, in this way---who were once
day-laborers, but now propirietors,
make the very best practical far
mors.
The benoltsof free-labor will not
long remain in concealment. -The
increase of wages will compell
the farmer of tho preset day, to
abandon the old ineffectual man
agement, and turn to the improvo
ments developing here andabroad.
The question whether the oman
cipated negroes will answer the
purpose ofday-laborers, (to become t
afterwards propritors), or whoth
or tl,o stream of Immigration
from foreign countries is to be
furtherencouraged,can only bode
termined by tho ~future. The
countiy of N ow berry seems inclined
to necept the lattter view. If' this
is really3 so, the peopl)e must not
be deterred, by a few sacr'ifices,
from protecting and encouraging,
the laborer already arrived, if' theyj
wish to secure in future, a contin
ation of Immigration.
FARM BUILJDINGs.
We call that p)ractical, which
accomp)lishes the end designed,
Farm buildings should answer
the pur pose of protecting the cattle
and harvests from bad wecather 1
and thietes. The stalls for the
cattle should, first of all, have a
dlespository for manure.
DIo t he buildings in use, here, ful
fill this requiremoent? According
to my observation, only pairtially.
The warm climato (of the South
does not make it necessary to
have such close building as in the
North, but they should be so con
structed as, on the one hand, to
shelter the harvests f-rm rain,
and, on the other, the cattle from
dIraught of air. I will return,
hereafter, to the particular con
sideration of manures, anid romarkc,
hero only, that, in order to Secure
good manure, the stables must be
floored with st6ne or brick, or
at least with thick planks. In(
ths stablos now in use, whora
there %s noe such flooring, the best I
mYannre soaks into the ground,
and is theoby lost. In this con
sideration 'properly built stalls, t

ical design. Perhaps the neces

rive an ilmulao to improvement
n farm architecturo; buildings
vill be erected upon the prin
iples taught by experience
md science, rather than according
o inclination or accident.
It may be mentioned as another
.dvantago resulting from compact
rrangement of farm buildings,
hat the proprietor can overlook
he farm-yard and prevent idle
ioss and theft.
A good farm-yard ought to be
milt in the form of a square. On
ino side of this squaro the dwell
ng house must stand, and on the
ipposite sido the stables and the
>arn ; on another side the gin.
iouse, anl opposite this the sheds
or the wagons and tools. Sufli

ietween these several buildings

ford spaceo for manure pens, &c.

ho buildings be filled up-that is
ho square enclosed-by a strong

voil seamed, the proprietor can
uperviso every thing from his

that it wOO.osay "to disabuse
the negro.. Qf. Abbevillo of the
notion thft they were to be im.
mediately 'nrol led," and also "to

bor and their homes." And yet
Governor ?oLt is weak enough to
ask the people to believe that
thore was no cause for excitement;
no-cause for the negro leaving his
plough, and deserting his home ;
and that the Governor of the State
knew nothing of all this beyond
what he read in the columns of
the Charloston News.
But, as we have said before, ex
porienco teaches Governor Scott
absolutely nothing; and he appeals
to his past course for his justifica

wrong and wanton aspersion, he
appeals for hi justification, and
repeats tho mondacious talc that
"for many months outrages and

A few days since the Now York
World indulged In some pleasant
pasquinade over the specehes do
livered at a festival of the "So.
rosia"-a species of feminine fool
ery now prevalent in New York
city. A lady reader, however-a
genuine one, two, from the ring
ofher sentences-takes it seriously,
and goes for the editor in gallant
style. One such as this "South.
ern woman," is worth a ton.acro
field of Anna, Dickinsons, Lucy
Stoues and Susan Anthonys, and
all the shomales who are shreik
ing for the suffrage, and soking
to be "post-Mistreses." She mis
conceived the objectof the World's
article, but has been dolivered of a
fine lettor:
UNGALLANT EDITOR OP THE WORLD.
Sir: Hear me for my cause ; I
como to defend my sox, but not to
praise them. Because one high
flown lady iudulgod in transcen
dentalisns, why do you seize the
opportunity to denounce feualo
humanity as a class of' "pretty
little fidgets," and "doddering,
dismal little souls ?" The great
mass of women, 0 1 Editor, are not
members of Sorosis, nor admirers
of Anna Dickinson. They do not
bewail their wrongs, nor clamor
for f'emalo suffrage; nor yet are
their brains located in their
chignon, nor their souls devot
ed to dry-goods. They are
thedutiful daughters,faithful wives
and devoted mothors of the land.
For every "fidget, whose horizon
is bounded by the nursery Or a
milliner's shop," I will find you a
male mortal whose horizon is
bounded by a billiard saloon and a
spree, or who devotes quite as
much anxious thought to the Cut
of his coat, and the style of his
unexpreFssibles, as the bell does to
her train and panier. And for
every man who "bears a cross and
a burden in the doddering dismal
little soul ho has madly sworn to
love and chorish," I will find a
true and devoted woman bound to
a brutal, or unfaithful, or drunken
husband; bearing heir burden pa
tiently, though it drives the light
from heor eyes, and hope from her
heart. I hope you will not think
me vain if I cite myself as a fair
example of the mass of my sex.
I claim to be simply an average
American woman, neither above,
nor, I trust, below the great ma
jority of women. Well, I am a
wife, and my husband, although
possessing inteiligence and infor.
mation infinitely superior to mine,
does not go to a club to escapo
my society, but spends his leisure
hours at home. I am mother of
three babies, and I take care of
them. I dross aceording to my
means, and sufficiently in the
mode to avoid oddity, but I don't
care throo Confederate cents what
"the style" ]a, or is to be. Mor.
over, Ilam a const ant render of the
daily World politics and all. I
took the latter studly in ordler to
bo able to talk with my husband
on subjects that interestedl him,
but I daure say I am better posted
on the state of the country than
hnlf the men whlo are playing
billiards or mudling themnselves
with fusel-oil while I am taking
care of my babies and making my
husband's shirts. I dleclare I am
not a "fidget," or a "doddor'ing,
dismal soul," and I furthermore
declare that what J am the groat
mass of my sex are, while many
are greatly superior. And I fling
down the gauntlet, to any one who
undertakes to prove the contrary.
Indignantly, yours,
A SOUTHIERN WOMAN.
MARRIED.-Miss Mary Grant, of
Richmond, Va., was recently mar
ried in that city, to Mr. Ford of
Goochiland county. It will be re
collectedl that both the bride andl
groom were subjects of a scurrilous
article in the Southern Opinion,
which resuulted ini the killing of the
editor, ii. ives Pollard, by the
young lady's br-other.
An exc hange says : "A colored
clerk, Miss E. J. Ketcham, has
just been appointed to a desk
the 'Treasunry departmen t at Wash
ington." If' there is any truth in
the recent revelations of Han
nab Tyler, that Ketcham is a
signfieant name for the Treasury
department, "without regar'd to
race, color or previous condition."

A Man Marries His Mother.
It will be vomembered by many
of our citizens that at a wedding
which was solemnized near Rusty
hut, Georgia. some time In 1845
the bride's father was killed in a
difioulty with a brother of her
husband. This occurrenco is, per
haps, b:ought too readily to the
minds of our readers. It is, to
those acquainted with the ciroum
stance, known that the bride of
but a few hours attempted to kill
her husband with a pistol. The
wife and husband parted. She
went to an interior village in Tex
as, and he remained, until the
war, peaceably upon his planta
tion-although he married in the
meantime, and to him was born a
son, which son entered the army1
of the Confrederate States, and foi
lowed the banners of Dick Taylor,
Magrudor, and others of the noble
chieftains who commanded the
soldiers around the Gulf. After
the wiar the young man wandered
about through the Gulf States, and
finally located in Texas where his
flther's former wilb lived. She
had resumed her maiden naino,
and was the proprietross of a
large and well-payinglhotel, where
she had accumulated an immenso
.ortune. Arriving at the village,
the young man stopped at the ho.
tel, and was well provided for by
the enterprising matron. Neither
knew the relation of* one to the
other, and although there is a
vast difference in their ages-ho
but a stripling youth, and she a
weel-preserved, comely'woman of
iiearly forty-an intimacy sprung
up betwoen thei, which ripened
into affection, and resulted in the
proposition by the young man of
marriage. lie was accepted, and
in a few days the quiet hotel was
the scone of inarringo revolry.

TijE JEALOUSY OF GIRL.--Girls,
too, are awfully jealons of each
other. I should call this the girl's
distinctive fault. See them when
thoy are introduced, or when they
meet at a ball or croquet party ;
soo howi coldly critical they look
at each other; how insolently their
eyos rove over every portion of
their rival's dress ; rcad in their
faces the outspoken scorn as the
result of their scrutiny: "You
think you have done it very well,
but you have made a fright of
yourself, and I am much botter
than you I" Watch their disdain
for the more admired among them;
and how excessively naughty for
attracting so m1uel01 attentionIt hey

W homn t.h1youIg men cluster. How
bold she is?-.-how ove rdressed she is,
how affected she is?-and, oh I how
ugly she is? Sometimes111, if' they
are deop, thes wvill Overpraise her
enthusiastically ; but the ruse is
generally too transpaIren t to de.
ceive any one, andI simply counts
for what it is-a clover' feint that
doesn't answer. It is quit.o a st udy
to watch the way in which girls
shakco hands together, or takeo
hands in dances. The limp, cool,
impore)tinent way in which they
just touch palms, and( let their
armns fall as if' paralyz.ed tells a

discordantly would sound the
mighty wall w~hich aggrieved hu-i

Kiss Him for His Mother.
It was a very pretty and very
pious conceit of that old lady who
kissed the dead youth fbr his
mother. So forcibly has it ap
pealed to popular admiration sine,
that no inconsidoradle number of
live young mon have had the pamb:
afrectionato caress bestowed on
them, out of respect for the same
venerable relative. A striking ex
ample of this, was afforded a few
evenings since, by a young lady
who enjoys the undivided affec
tion of a handsome down-town
clerk. It so happened that, some
weeks ago, his mother died. Iis
heart was consoled in this great
bereavement by the affectionato
smypathy of his employer's fasei
nating daughter. It is not strange
that this sympathy at last riponed
into love. The parents noted -ard
approved their (laughter's choie,
but wisely kept their own counsol.
The intero-ting relations, howev
er, woro destined to come to light
in a way least expected. 6no
evening, the young couple were
enjoying a pleasant tete-a-tete Ina
secluded nook of the parlor. The
old gentleman happened, 1.y the
merest accident, to step in and
take a seat unobserved by the
young peoplO. Suddenly his at
tontion was arrested by one of
thoso prolonged luxurious kisses
which only lovers over ioter
change.
Silenco like death.
'I say, Julia, what noise waS,

'What aro you doing thoro '

'Only-only William, sir ; his

to kiss him for her, you know,

man took his leave, doubtleRs
