INTRODUCTION OF New CLASS OF LABOR IN UHE
Sou1H.-rhe propretors OF the Cumberland Iron
Works, on Cumberland river, Tennessee, have en-.
gagged the services of twenty Chinese coolies as iron
workers. They are expected to arrive shortly at
Cincinnati, from whence they will be forwarded to
their destination It is stated that the Chinese are
very expert in working iron.
letter in the New Brunswick Netrs, dated New
York, October 25 says
" A letter which have just received from friend,
at port Of the Mediterranean, informs me that in
qures have been made, by the parties interested in
the Brunswick road, as to the practcabity and ex-
peDse of engagiag several hundred Maltese to work
upon that road, under an engagement for term Of
Years. The people of Malta and Coco, are known
TO me as laboriOus and constitutionally temperate
in their habits Living under sun OF tropical hest
they would seem to be peculiarly adapted to the
climate OF our sea coast They are OF the same rnce
Of people, as far as regards climate and habits as
the Minorcas, who uLder the English regime colo
Dzed in Florida, at st. Augustine and New Smyrna.
Should such project be carried into execution,
do not doubt that these laborers would be found to
equal any class heretofore employed upon our public
works." Wevery much question the practicability
or the propriety OF the introduction Of such labor
into the Southern States. We have abundance Of
mere operative force, aud, our railroad and other
enterprises require laborers which our population
cannot supply it would be much better to encourage
the emigration of that class Of foreigners whs fast
filling the Western States, and as fast merging into
their fixed population. We are Of opinion tina. the
ntIoduc.ion Of colony OF Maltese or Coolies as has
been attempted in Cuba, would neither be practica
bic nor polite as it would tend not only 10 depreci-
ate the value Of slave property but also to disturb
our domestic 81 item by the establishment Of third
class among us. We would not be understood as OBJ
ecting to the introduction OF cooniss, ordinary
emigration from Malta or elsewhere, but what we
distrust is any scheme or system partaking Of the
character OF the British colony or apprentice systems,
for the reason that We do not think such schemes
would be found to harmonic with our domestic in
