"John Brown's spirit, march? ing on;" the value bf real estate suck from 60 *to 95 per cent; political reform-revolutionary, radical, rapacious, ignorant-crowning the fearful aspect of affairs, it is a wonder that one 'tone standeth on another. That we are vouchsafed this much, we owe to no mau or man-maker, but to God, to the habitude of accustomed liberty, to the wide wilderness of territory we occupy, and to the physical hindrances afforded thereby, to the scrutiny and persecution of venal and malignant tyranny. The boundless forests waive still their ban? ners of freedom (leap lt? martial Law, and chant their requiem over the graves of the fallen breve and the homes of the fallen free. The South ls free despite the ukase from Washington, the "orders" of satraps, the dogged sullenness of the "truly loll" harpies. Nature stands out against the ''nation" in all Its folly and might. Society proclaims ils sovereignty jure divino, and a de facto government, independent of legisla? tive hails, governs without sheriff.or Jail, pro? cess or pr*tor. In the condition through which we have travailed, that there "ls life In the old land yet," that she "lives and moves, and has her being," under God, discovers a vitality born of wide resources and a social grouping of civilized anti hardy manhood, which dares to be free so long as the sun shines and the ri vers run. That the South has thus struggled up to com? parative power 1B plain. When we behold her mighty railroads urging their way far and near over the face ol the country, tire fact 1B stri? kingly and irresistibly suggestive ol'what-the labor present in the South can effect, when utilized. . j . Every dollar that could be borrowed has : been sf rained to recuperation In this regard, anti, in ?ll the ?OWTI?' appliances of commerce. Agriculture, however, with ber 8300,000,000 or exports, mends no county roads, builds no fences, malees no larm improvements. She .struggles Irom baud to mouth, .from year to year,"trembling before every financial crisis. It Is only necessary .to go through thc fields und homes ol' the South to admit this shiftless hopelessness brooding over the country. Now, there ls a Btrange Incongruity here, the cause of which should he sought. Planters tn their distress see their crops swept away by the s wit t and costly Unes of transportation and no return made. The merchant, the raliway, the drayman, the storehouse, the wharf, the steamer, all must be paid; but the planter, bearing.them all on- lils mighty shoulders, groans in his agony and grapples again ano again with his cruel fate, his grotesque mas? tery. No less Is thia the case with the laborer, In the long run, than the employer. It ls im? possible to have an unsuccessful employer and a well paid and well housed laborer. The la? bor, inefficient and indifferent, may be costly even at low wageO It ls a comparison be? tween the pay afnrthe performance which rhakea labor ?Sear or cheap. Even when the planter complains of bis labor and the losses accrulngirom the .cost of production, lt does not appear that the laborer Is paid too much. It may be that be ls half paid, and hall-hear ?ed, and passes into a condition of indolent sell-dependence and vagabondage, which makes bim unwilling for work, and only a fourth ot a man In productive efficiency, whilst he must incur the expense of a whole man's food and raiment. Whatever this ex? pense must be, the employers must bear lt io some way or forego the labor. Let us illus? trate. Here are ten farms with available lands for a hundred hands. With efficient, willing, well fed, well clothed, well paid, first class labor, ready and willing to work, day In and day out, with appointed days of recreation and, merriment, with well appointed homes and ample comforts surrounding them, these laborers could cultivate from 1000 to 1600 acres of cotton, with ample pro? vision crops, manufacture the greater part of their clothing ol the most substantial and suitable kind, besides raising the utmost abundance of flesh, vegetables and fruits. Time and again this has been done in the South, on small as weil as large farms,, when well'conducted. All spare time was put to use; when the laborers worked they worked; when they played they played. Potent, profit? able earnestness stirred the blood of employer and laborer, and master and man, alike, felt the glow of industry, the gladness of success. Nature responded to every manly effort, and stretched wide her profuse bosom to her honest sons, to succor their wants and sweeten their labors with a thousand charming rewards, glittering from the dew-dipped floweret* to the bending fields of grain, Now, institute-euch industry as this, accom [illsh?ng 2500. acres of well-cultivated land, sl? owing each able-bodied laborer $1 per day, clothing and food to laborer and faintly being furnished from the farm at low rates. ? All the food, consisting of bacon, beef, syrup, wheat or rice (vegetables and fruits free) and pota? toes, could he raised on the plantation. This for a man, his wile and family, supposing them to consist in all of five, would amount to $25 per month; the clothing, made on the farm, of various domestic material, would amount to 100 yards to family, which at 36 cents average, would be $36, or $3 per month. Bent of .house, well appointed, with garden, $3 per month. All these items would amount to $31 In 26 working days of the month, and the pay of mau and wife to $52* .which would leave a cash balance la.their fa? vor el $21, or $10'. apiece. Now, with,ample provision crops for stock, ftc-., and family use, we are prepared to use the cotton-crop for pur cltese ol' comparative luxuries, making farm improvements, and developlngjhe system of plant DK to.its most profitable conduct. Now, let each farm plant, besides its other.Indus? tries, 120 acres cotton, cultivated In the most improved manner. The payment of hands calls for $1320; the deduction of $120 for lo-t time and sickness leaves $1200. * NOT, t h in 120 acres? at 250 pounds per acre,yield ns 60 bales, ot'.?OO 10s., widen, at 15c, gives $4500, leaving a margin of $3200 for other expenses and family use. ' By expending $1200 more of this towards other employees, repair*, &c, we have-Bill! left $2000. With half this crop lu bad seasons, we have 30 bales at 25 cents, $3750, and a mar? gin ol'$1350. At 20 cents, we have.$3000nand a margin.-of $1000, after paying wages .and $700 further expenses and repairs. At IS cents, we have a crop of $2250. allowing *pay ment-ofwages and $450 for other " expanses, leaving family margin of? $500. I don't state coat ol transportation, coinjaisslong, 4c., foi on a well conducted farm ol tare son ar. least this amount should be reached In sales of bat? ter, beef, pork, fruits, ?c., with.? batadsome margin for -family. Beat in mind au this has been done on the same sell and uuder the same sun. ? This ls the possibility to which I would strive. Now, with this system, bow would the ten (arma stand as to property and clear in? come at the end of a successful season or BO: Income from cotton, with wages, re? pairs, Ac, deducted. $20,000 From corn, beyond back nae of farms.... 6,000 From stock, tc. 3,000 - Total income..... .
