TB_E CRINESE AB WORKERS. The Opinion mt One who ha? Tried Them. ;r he following extract from a letter of the ' . Jesse Wood, formerly of Georgia, but now ? .-: dent of California, will be read with ln I rr. ls; foo desire to know particularly what I think about the Ch?nese as servants. They under? stand bow to make cotton, or can be taught, as cotton ls a leading product in their own country. You hare seen the Nankin cotton, Which ls theirs. They learn everything so easy yon wlfl be astonished. They have not only got more sense than negroes, but more than many white folks. They are very docile and tractable, because they love money, and will do anything for the money. Of course they wm have to learn our ianguage, walch they will soon do. Whin yon snow them how to do anything once, they will do it exactly that way ever alter that, They are remarkably nice about everything-iiffer totally from the negro. For house servants I would not give on? ot them for' two negroes. I think the trouble about their working on Southern plan? tations would be that they know nothing what? ever about managing a horse or mole. I have .never seen one of then have anything to ob with either. As to all other work of the farm they would dolt better titan the negro ; but the ploughing I have no idea they could be trust? ed with at all. They aro capital with the axe, and rival the Irish with the spade. As to T?ages, Ac, they can be got in any Bomber here and in China; but yon would" have to pay their way out, and afterward de? duct this from their wages gradually. I sup? pose yon could not get them for less than $12 a month and feed them: And at that they are . cheaper than negroes, because yon do not have to feed a whole family to get the services of one. and their labor will be more reliable than the negro for such as they can do. Tbey w?l pretty much live on rice and fish, and heans, dried and brought In barrels. You will not And ns much difficulty as you imagine, in providing for them. They will not contract to go except in companies, and tbey make their bargains straight and intelligently. One of the-company will keep a Chinese e'toro for the community, and you will be well Instructed, what they want. They look very much like yellow negroes, md act like lbem, ont have five timen as much sense as any one would suppose. I, am satisfied that - the Chinese and blacks would hate each other, and each be made better for the white man. It would be some time Wore you could under? stand them well enough to talk with them, but they could go to work Immediately, n We have had several of them for servants, since we have been here, and one does all our washing and Ironing. In a company for a neighborhood, cay 200men, (they are nearly all men,) there ? would probably be two or three who could . speak Kngii ah and traneiict business for all. Taking all In all, som 3 can get along with them finely, others cannot at au. If any ene will be kind and patient, and pay them their wages promptly, there will be no trouble. I have seen a good deal of them, and think them superior to a lower order of white,1 and not to be compared to the negro. COMMERCIAL SEW?. .The Charleston Cotton, Klee ?nd Naval Stores Bfiarket.
