C IIINEBE FOR LOUISIANA. Flvr sui pto? 1H of Chinamen En Route for Itoulnlann.-Important Character of thc Movement-Alarm of the Vr .jroee- A Colrred Convention Called to Consider thc Matter. Chinese inborjwill bo thoroughly tcHted In Louisiana In tho coming spring. Koopman Pchaup'H agents have already closed contracts for some four or ?vejshlploads, to bc delivered at Key West by tho Pacific Mall Steamship Company. A New Orleans letter of thc 14th Instant to tho New York Herald says : Mr. John Williams, Jr., one of thc Mew Or? leans agents, ls now on his way to Hong Kong to completo the necessary arrangements. He ls accompanied by Tye Kim An*, a native of Hong Kong, educated in England, who hos boon for somo time a resldont along tho coast of the Mississippi, and is thoroughly familiar with the soil, thc crops, and the capabilities of Louisiana. Tye Kim promises to engage thc services of the finest class of coolie loborers, such aa are most familiar with that kind of cultivation that pays best in Louisiana, name? ly, rice and sugar. Tho contracts drawn up are for Ave years, and, on the face of them, seem unexceptionably liberal, both as rcgardB rations and pay. These arc thc leading fea? tures: ? First. Wc agree to work on nlantation or do any other kind of work that may lie assigned to us by our employer for tbe period of five years, begin? ning at tbe tlmn we commence to work, ror which we ar? iC 00 f 'by him, in gold, at the rate of ntn? dollars j .month of twenty-six days-ones half at thc cn ,t cftoll month and the baW*;, at the end of tho year, the said e^.?yer reserving _^r holding in ?oj? "j^ii twenty-five dollars of the earnings of each year as a guarantee to him of the faithful performance of this contract, but to be paid to the undersigned on Ita bel?g fully car? ried out-not otherwise. Second. Our passage to the United States and all advances, amounting to (whatever they may be) in gold, and paid by our employer, we hereby obligate ourselves to pay out of our flrat wages or earnings, together with any other advances that he may hereafter make to us. Third. Wc arc to be furnished by our emplover with comfortable quarters and rations of Aye ?toonda of pork or Its equivalent inUbacon or beef; ourteen pounda of rice; one-fourth pound tea per week; anio a email quantity ot ground for a garden Spot. It ls agreed that during thc time we are working to nay the advances made to us, we are to be furnished In cash one dollar and a half per month and ten dollars per year for clothing, Ac, and which sums, tr received, we arc to return. Fourth. We agree to work from daylight till dark, with an intermission of one hour each for breakfast and dinner, and during augar making to take watch at night, as usual on sugar plan? tations; but we are to bc paid by our employer or half the night thirty-five cents in specie for each night, at thc end or the month; but no labor le to be required ot ne on Bund aye. except when necessary to save tbe crop, feed the stock and protect thc plantation generally. We reserve thc right during the summer months to take two hoare for dinner, provided we are at om- work by sunrise and take our breakfast be: ore wc go out. These five shiploads will he a test experi? ment. Should they succeed (as there is thc strongest reason to supposa they will) it is scarcely possible to ovor-estlmAte the i fleet the movement will have qn toe future of ?<ou islana. Most of the first shipments will be lo? cated on tho rice and sugar lands in the vi? cinity of Bayou Lafourcho. In that same dis? trict there are thousands of acres of prairie land now uncultivated, which can be turned into rice at little expense. In tho whole State there are certainly not lem than three hun? dred thousand acres of alumny land available for rice culture. This crop has of late, yeera been cultivated more and more In this State. It ls less hazardous than sugar or cotton, and pays better. Moreover, the climate ana soil of Louisiana produce a description of rice worth at least five cents a pound more than any East Indian importation. The only thing lacking ls labor. That the coolie Immigration will supply. Tho negroes already aro becoming alarmed. In the newspaper edited by J. Willis Menard (rejected colored delegate to Congress from Louisiana) ot this morning there ls published a call for a colored convention to consider the best means of promoting thc agricultural In? terests of tho colored race, and to prevent thc introduction of coolie laborers Into Louisiana, The call itself is so curiously suggestive that lt ls worth giving entire in the Herald. Here His: To the Colorea Men of Louisiana-Call for a State convention: ?mt&t A State convention of colored men la hercua called, to meet in the City of Baton Rouge on the flrat Monday in November next, at 12 o'clock M., for thc purpose ot considering and adopting the beat plan and maana ror the promotion or the agricultural Interests of th? colored people throughout the State, and also to consider nil other subjects looking to their ' advancement and welfare. In view of the Introduction or coolie laborers, and other dangers which threaten the colored laboring classes, lt bi hoped that colored men throughout the State will wake up and come together to protect their Interest?. The subject ot land and homesteads for the colored laboring classes will engage much of the attention or thc convention, and efforts will be made to facilitate the acquisition of land by laboring men. Every parish and district will be entitled to send as ?nany delegates to this convention aa they have representatives in the Lower Rouse of thc General Assembly. Besides this apportionment, the fol? lowing persons win be ex officio members of the said convention, viz: s . ?n The colored members of the General Assembly. Thccolored members of the Constitutional Con? vention. The colored State officers and the colored min? isters bf ail thc churches, regardless of denomina tiona. This liberal apportionment ls allowed In ordei to engage the attention of every liberal colored man In the State in the great work of advancing the agricultural Intercuts of oar people. Why not T New England m (ll-owners extort protection for their manufactures to the detri? ment of the rest of the country. Why should not the powerful all-controling political ele? ment of thc South extort protection for their labor to,the Injury of everybody else * To this call arc appended the names of fifteen colored State senators and representatives, and four or live colored *'roverends.** The proceed? ings of the convention may be looked forward to with some Interest. - REvrvAI. OP SOUTHERN TRADE.-At no period since the war has the Southern trade with this port been so brisk as at tue present time, and all thc regular steamers employed In this busi? ness, besides many sailing vessels, find full employment in carrying thu products of North? ern and Southern growth. The freight for the Baltimore Une of steamers has Increased to such a degree as to require moro .tannage for its transportation, and an additional boat will be placed on the route next week to relieve the pressing wants of shlpiiers for greater ac? commodations. Of the extensive variety of Soods going forward to supply tho wants of ie Southern people, a general assortment of housekeeping articles and furniture form a large part, which fact ls a very good index of tho returning prosperity of that suction ot our country. Willi good crops, well requited labor and peaceful times, thc South is destined to fully equal Its former achievements la tho pro? duction of material wealth.-Boston Journal. COMMERCIAL- NEWS.

Liverpool ia sd lower m up? lands and Sd on Orleans. The arrivals in Liver? pool were heavy and amounted to 71,000 balee, mostly surat?. AB the stock or these kinds is now about 76 per cent or the whole stock, the demand is running principally on them, espe? cially, as now there is a difference or 3d per lb between them and American. The stock or long staple aorta la less than at corresponding date laat year, and we expect the trade and export? ers will take auch a percentage ot East India, as to cauae the stock to diminish more rapidly than in 1868. Laat year the stock ran down from 846.000 bales, the maximum, cn 29th October, to 47,000 bales, on lat ApriL Tho cotton at sea la reduced 44,000 bales this week, and the weekly sales amounted to 92,000 bales, against 71,000 bales reported daily. The weather at the South baa been nnaually fine for the past six weeks, and the picking la progressing favorably. Planters are sending for? ward their crops rapidly, and the large receipts cause a general belief In a crop or 2,760,000. The re? ceipts at Havanvah and Charleston are 63,594 bales more than last year, and nearly doable the amount received un to this time in 1867. Notwith? standing this, we do not expect more than 16 or 20 per cent, increase lu Georgia, and no Increase in South Carolina. We do not believe we shall see an Increase of 600,000 bales at this port, which would bo necessary to make the crops up to the general estimate. Upl'd A Fia. Mobile. N. O. Texas.
