SANFORD c. FAULKNER.7HIn our discus sion of the acts of the Trustees of the Real Estate Bank, candor and justice require us to acknowledge and mention one act of Col Faulkner, one of the five trustees. To pay what he owed to the bank, and to square up all of his transactions with that concern as far as it laid within his means, Col Faulkner surrendered to the bank valua- ble plantation and negroes, with a growing crop of cotton and corn. It was every thing he owned in the world and it was of very great value He did so, as an honorable man, and he made the transfer without compulsion or suit.
 Whatever the losses of the. bank that the stockholders will have to make good, we feel assured that they will give Col. Faulkner full credit for this manly act They may think that in some things he may have erred in judgment, but in heart he was right. He comes out of the con- cern with clean hands and an empty purse A higher eulogy could not be passed to his credit. All who know him as we do will understand and appreciate it.

 EE- Among the numerous visitors to our city last week on masonic matters, were Dr. Chas. B. Mitchell and Col Etter, the latter of the Washington Telegraph, both from Hampstead county.
 Dr. Mitchell is an eminent democrat in southwest Arkansas, has always been true to his party and his friends, has fought many hard contested battles, has ever been enthusiastic in the cause, and has made a thousand sacrifices to secure its advance ments. He is man of talent and has never wavered in his devotion to his party
 Col. Etter is the editor and publisher of the oldest opposition paper in the State.- We have occasionally had some hard knocks with his concern, but we have always re- cognised in him the courteous, high toned gentleman We like him, was glad to meet him, and must acknowledge the fact. We also met in our city last week, our old friend Col. II. P. Johnson, formerly of Hampstead county, but now of the firm of "Smth & Johnson" New Orleans Col. Johnson is a man of means, able to accom- modate his friends, will sell their produce to the best advantage, and is withal an upright man and a clever gentleman.

Grain Growing.

An apparently intelligent writer in the
San Francisco Alta, and farmer claims that,
at the present rate Of wages for farming
hands in the lower eountry-S30 per month
nothing can be made by farmers in raising
grain. Nine out of every ten grain growers,
he says, fail, and give way to their successors
who do lkewise-all owing to the high price
Of farm labor Cultivating the soil, he says
is so expensive that but few can realize any
profits, at the present rates of labor He as
sumes that the majority of the laborers en-
ployed are lazy, or dishonest or drunken or
inclined to leave so soon as they get any
wages ahead. We would be sorry to believe
that such was the character of the white
working population of this State. Yet this
writer gravely asserts it, and founds upon it
the argument that the wages of such men are
not worth $50 per month If such be the
character of the laborers of California, their
labor would scarcely be worth the half of it,
if anything at all. But is it true that such
is the kind Of labor got out of the working
grain growing at the present rates oflabor in
the country, is unproftablef Is it true? We
have been greatly misinformed, if the grain
growers of this county have not realized
large profits from their wheat and barley or
other cereals. Atany rate they industrially
pursue the business of raising these grains
from year to year. 1t seems singular that
they should do SO, if it is so exceedingly un
profitable.
W. confess we do not know much about
the subject, from personal observation, and,
if there be any truth in the statement that
grain growing in California is losing busi
ness, some of our Yuba county farmers, (for
we raise great deal of grain here) can give
us information of the fact Our columns are
open to the discussion of the subject
If the present rates of farm labor are too
high, let them be reduced.
