The New Orleans Delta says


That Col Butler being short Of hands had
hired some Mexieans 10 come over TO La ana
help work his crop, and that they were on MS
plantatioa, receiving twelve dollars month.
Very welI---and what is to prevent every plan
ter from having hands to do his work. Would
they not make more, and would not the commu-
nifty be greatly enriched thereby? These twelve
hired Mexicans are producers. And if thou
sand free laborers were there, every man in the
neighborhood, hop-kseper-hatter-boot-ma-
-minister-all--ail would feel the
benefit of their toll, and, II their was village,
or town or city near by. itwOuld grow In
proportion, as these lsborers increased in num-
bers! 1t is this very thing, which builds up the
free States.
But another thing. IL these twelve laborersr
can work successfully on the plantation, it fol-
lows that there could be no difficulty, really, in
getting rid of slavery. Most Southern men
say, 1--WE cannot get labOrers II we resort te
emancipation Here is proof to the contrary
These men come from Mexico for money. Take
away the stigma which slavery stamps upon la
Dor, and lsboring men enough will be found, In
the South, in the Union, certainly, TO do all that
is needed. And can any one doubt as to which
would be the most proftable-free or slave la.

Educational.

Wswere glad to notice the motion Of Mr..
Price in our Legislature. He is a member Of
the Committee on Education in the House, and,
we trust, will push his measure vigorously. His
bill proposes to abolish all the militia laws, with
the exception Of enrolment, and out Of the
revenue arising therefrOm and created by this
bill, to permanently establish a system Of Com
mon Schools, similar to those Of New England.
One section provides for its submission to the
people, for their ratification or rejection The
bill was referred to the Committee on Educa-
ton.
The main purpose, viz; to establish a perms'
nent system Of Common Schools, is right
Let rs have that, We must have 1t, indeed, 4

The War

The character Of the war is said 10 be changed
in aspect. alt Is not now war Of invasion"
says the Washington correspondence the Jour-
nal of Commerce, "but of occupation" In
other words, we are now reduced to sober mat
ter Of business, when soldiers have nothing TO
do, and the people have only to pay them iOr
doing nothing. The writer thinks the romance
Of conquest is over, and that "the enthusiasm
cannot be long kept up"

Pauern for Talior--How 10 dc n Debtor.
We were much amused, the other day, when
on a visit to. Cincinnati, TO hear the way
a noted Snip Of the Queen city, had collected a
hopeless debt And as the story may be Of use
to others Of the craft, not quite so inventive we
shall tell it. Nh, had been owing
pretty large bill a number ofyears, and had under
one pretence or another, put off payment, with
out giving his note or acknowledging the debt
publicly, suntil the claim was barred by the
statute Of limitation -, had noticed that
whilst the debtor was always ready to admit the
debt and promise payment, when alone with
him, not a word escaped his lips before witness
Is. Accordingly one day he got him into bis
shop, and again very urgently pressed payment;
now-said he, you know its all right-yOu
know its just debt and really need the money.
oh! yes;-responded MI, after he
had carefully peered round and seen no one
Oh! yes; know its just debt, and always in
tended to pay it'll try and do so before long.
Tom! do you hear that7 was the horrifying
reply: Yes, sir, said, Tom, the shop boy,
crawling out from under the counter. The mo-
ney was paid Immediately.
