CHINESE LABoRERs IN CUBA correspondent
has transmitted us the following piece of informa-
tion:-'ln the year 1877 or 1913 there were intro
duced into Havana 5Sl Chinese from Annoy, 638
having embarked there, and ffty-seven having died
on the passage, and in quarantine. These men
were distributed among various planters as appren-
tees, receiving four dollars each, month. At the
tisfed with them, but experience has since taught
that they were wrong; and, recently, number of
the most intelligent proprietors in Cuba, consulted
by the local authorities, declared that they had
found the Chinese in their service 'aborious, robust
almost Us much so as the best Africans--more in
telligcnt, and sufficiently docile, under good man
agcment.' The same parties expressed themselves
desirou that immigration should be encouraged
and were ready to take certain number into their
employ; and there are some who deem it quite pos
sibe to cultivate their property with Chinese OK
clusively In consequence thereof, n contract has
been made by an English house, to introduce 5000
into the island, and the entire number is by this
time subscribed for, the planters engaging to pay
the importers one hundred and twenty-five dollars
a head. The people, as they arrive, will be appren-
ticed for eight years, and will receive four dollars
month each, for the time Of their service Should
the present enterprise succeed well as the first
essay, there is no doubt that it will be repeated,
and thus the African slave trade to Cuba be entirely
put an end to-" Whether the enterprise succeed or
not, the attempt shows that the so-called slave
colonies are already very much on a par with our
own colonies, and that they, in fact, are unable to
provide themselves with aborers by any better plan
than that which our own colonists have already
adopted, and for carrying on which they have many
very last pretext they have for grumbling at the
loss Of their privilege to tax the community for the
encouragement Of the growth of sugar. London

THE PALMYRA RAILROAD RESOLUTIONS
Our Palmyra neighbors seem disposed TO show
an interesting amount of activity on the depot
question, as appears from the resolutions below.
As stockholders, they have right to their opin.
ion as 10 the location of the road outside of our
city limits; and as shippers their suggestions
as TO the location of the depot are entitled to
respect. The depot has been pulled and hauled
about from place to place in ardent people's
imaginationsr until one 10 almost induced TO be-
lieye that it really is a matter of Importance
whether it be located ten feet nearer or ten feet
further from the river. PALMYRA has got it into
her head that the railroad ought to be diverted
to the important commercial point known as
scipio-a town composed of two deserted and
dilapitated log huts, sitting in hole drilled in
the river bluffs Very well, they have right
to entertain that opaniOn, and to publish it TOO, if
they choose. The people OF Hannibal and Pal
myra can surely discuss these questions good
humoredly, and without quarreling for opinions
sake:
In accordance with previous notice, a MEETING
in the court house at PALMYRA, on SAT-
urday, the / th of September. On motion, Col.
Parker Dudley was called 10 the chair. The
following named gentlemen were appointed a
committee TO draft resolutions expressive of the
