Chinese Labor. .We O?p the following from the Wil We aw very sure that the exten siv* introduction of Chinese laborers io $? the 8outh will be productive of either j ttveb good or much harm. The reader ^Hfevy that is a self-evident ptoposition. 0*4liB. But we considred it just as aiaf a specimen of judgement or sagaci ty 93 the opinions of those who know tM& Chinese labor is just the thing for as without having seen the experiment ^J$r* .whole question is purely of an experimental character j and we trust people of North Carolina will not their time, money or influence oo ?til other States, in which cotton are in much greater demand ASA, hero, have fully tested it. 3**t Louisiana end Mississippi be the fbhiiffi In this movement. One year ?jil b^fnfliflieot to satisfy the planters 4^ these States whether or not John Ohtnfcuiso is a desirable acquisition to lie 8oofcb. Then, if the enthusiastic 4GgmtatioQS of his advocates are half 0|Wted, it will be time for us to go Jnto speculation. The enterprise may prove Buocessful: httt we doubt it. At all events, let us "saake haste slowly." P. 8.?Since the above was written We hate diecovered the following in the New York Star, which we publish as an aid to reflection on this important sub ject? We have been very greatly interested hi a discussion in the California papers about the Chinese, and can readily ap pffejate the gravity of the danger whleb threatens opt only the extreme West, bet our whole country, from the incur sion of these unwashed, plodding, eon s^enecless, patient, brutish workers. They will cheapen labor and lower the tone of morals, drive white workers to ruinous competition, nod fill our streets wHb fcJsgn?ed vice, unless some steps ar? lagen whieh shall definitely stop the bawrigffttion. I? the compactness and. anfty of trade union* ahme can we see nay sensible solution of the problem, The danger is not distant, it is imminent, for according to Mr. HeDonald Nesbitt, Who has thoroughly posted himself in thie matter, already * hundred thousand cheap production of textile fabrics, me chanical improvements, and the necessa ries of lifo. Living oft e handful of rice a day, clad in cotton garments, they luakw t "uomaul vca, at a cost of a dollar or two; dosens living In e single tenement, and thus practicing a system of economy whioh reduces their living to six or eight cents a day, they will work for fifteen cents e day, end make Money. They know nothing of luxnry er the comforts or inconveniences of life; they have but one object, end that is to make money. In vain did the raeohanics and laborers of Sen Francisco try by cruel treatment to bsnish them; in vain were trades' union formed to prevent their ob taining employment; it was found im possible to starve out a people who could adapt themselves to the employments of women, live on their wsges, and, when employment failed, live on animals and offal whioh are an abomination to Cau casians ! Though not possessed of the physioal vigor of the Cauoaseian, their patience end untiring application com pensate largely for this. Reared under despotism, where oppression is the rule and brutish stupidity general, they have no ideas of freedom; they are as obe dient as slaves, and they only need a di recting mind to plan, to messure, to lay off the work, when, with the uncom plaining submission of a machine, they delve in the rooks, hew in the forests or labor in the fields. As you walk up the streets of San Franoisoo you will see them squatted in the alleys or corners, mending shoes, queenaware, tinware, making garments for the Jews, toys, balls, hoops, slates, pencils, satchels for the boys. They will sole your shoes for five cents above the cost of the leather, and do it in a workmanlike manner. Give theni the tobacco and they will make you a hundred cigars for ten cents. Tin and copper ware they will make for you according to directions at a few cents above the cost of the material; and] if you want a man killed they will do that at a cost of a few dollars ! Con science they have none; morals they know not; future life beyond the grave they disbelieve, and death has no ter rors for them. Perjury is very common, as they, cannot, or will not, appreciate the sanctity of an oath ; henoe they are frequently hired as witnesses. In no ordinary way can honest, repu table workmen meet and master these people. They are unscrupulous to the last degree, submitting to the indignities that would make the blood of an Ameri can or an Irishman boil, for tho merest pittance at which an Eastern laborer would tum up his nose. They will be met and encouraged bj *i?a ?anitalista, and unless they are bluffed, stopped be fore they secure a foothold, trouble and discord, confusion and disaster will sure ly result from their coming. It behooves the workingmen of oar day to think of this matter now ; it is a thousand times more important than the negro question or the woman question. They are minor masters which can be sealed easily when nothing else is urgent; this needs attention now. From the Southern Cultivator. Clover a**J Grass. Mr. Madison Stricklsnd, of Jackson Co., Ga., having grown olover and grass for many years past with wonderful success, we propounded to him the following inquiries, and he has very kindly appended to them the accompany ing answers, whioh we publish below. 1st. Whioh is the best time to sow the seed, fall or spring? 2d. How ought ground to be prepared ?how ought the seed to be covered,, and how much to the acre 7 3d. What manures are best?when and how applied ? 4tb. Should they be grazed?if so, when and how long, first, when kept for pasture purposes?second, when intended to be mowed ? 4th. How treated when the object is to obtain seed, and yield of seed per acre? 6th. What is the best mixture of seed to be sown together ? 7th. Should they be sown by them selves or in connection with a grain orop ? If the latter, which small grain is the best? 8th. How do yon save hay?more especially olover bay ? 9th. How long will the same Und grow a good orop of olover and gt?"*, without requiring to be seeded down ? 10th. What kind of land is best adapted to these erops ? mr. Strickland's kxplt. 1st. I prefer sowing either grass or olover from the 16th of January to the last of February?though it will do tolerably well to sow from the 1st of September to the middle of November. 2d. Pbw the land thoroughly, and afterwards sow the seed, and roll with a heavy roller?ene gallon of clover seed well cleaned, or one hashel grass seed in the rough to the acre, either will be sufficient, St. S have never tried any of the eowoarcUl manures, hot haft* used 00?? lot and stable manure, and have always ?pro?! them broadcast? plowed them in while preparing the laud. 4th. Never grase under 18 months, when ft is intended for grazing or mow ing, aa it does not get sufficient roots until it is that old. In this region, stock should not run on clover after the 10th of March, if it is to be mowed. After mowing, it may bo grazed until the next March again. 5 th. Let the clover beads turn one halt brown, and grass one halt yallow, for seed. I think grass would yield 15 or 20 bushels of seed, in the rough, to the sore. As to olover, I have never cleaned any seed. 6th. For grazing, I think best to sow clover, herbs grass and oat grass together For mowing, each should be sown separate. 7th. I have only sown with wheat or oats?either will do equally well. 8th. I mow the clover when about one-half the heads turn brown, and give it one-half day's sun?having it well scattered. Mow herds grass when one half the heads arc yellow, and give the same treatment as olovcr. 9th. I have tried clover 4 years, and it has done well. As to herds grass, I think by plowing up and rolling every three or four years, it would do well 1 great while. 10th. I prefer red upland and high stiff bottom for olover, and red upland and low stiff bottom for grass. I do not think that sandy bottom or gray upland can ever be made profitable with grass or olover. The mowing blado being the life of every meadow, suffice it to say that it is necessary for a skilful hand to take a keen blade and mow off the weeds, briars, ??c, the last days of August or 1st of September; this kills all poisonous plants, and gives the clover and grasses a chance to get up. This is to be done, whether intended for mowing or grazing. f Ciiancks or Marbiaux.?The fol lowing curious statement by Dr. Gran *ille, is taken from the registered paper; it is drawn from the registered cases of 876 women, snd is derived from their answers to the age at which they are re spectively married.
