Egone from Dixie.-Our fellow
citizen DANIEL HEAD, who has been soiourn-
ing in Louisiana for several months past, as
the Managing agent of the Company formed
in this city for the cultivation Of abandon
ed plantations returnedhome few days ago.
Mr. Head brings a rather flattering account
of the prospects Of the company at the pre-
sent time. They have ], 900 acres of cotton
now nearly IS inches high specimens of
which Mr.. Head brought home with him -
They have also 500 acres of corn of very
promising growth, being now about as high
as a man can reach.
Among the novelties Mr.. Head brought
home with him, was plantation harness,
which he says is fair specimen Of the har-
ness in use on the richest and most aristo-
cratic plantations. The bride and headstall
consists ofstrips of rawhide with the hair on
attached to an iron rod which answers for
bits, The blinds consist of square piece of
rawhide, hair on the outside in one side Of
which couple of Sits are cut and the head :
stall strips passed through thus'd doing away
with any kind of fastening. The collar is
made of cornhusks braided together and is
really an ingenious article. The haims are
as NEARLY straight sticks as posi-
bic to which are attached some rude iron
hooks, to fasten the traces to. The whole is
the work Of some ingenious slave, with no
tools, probably, but hammer and jack
knife, and all things considered, is quite
work Of art or might be considered such, in
the most barbarous and savage countries
that are known, but that such things should
be in use in this most enlightened and pro-
gressive country in the last half of the 10Th
century is an anomaly, that can be account
ed for only by the presence of slavery.
The plantation of the company has not
been exempt from the guerilIas. Several
times they have visited the premises and
carried off everything they could lay hands
upon, and Mr.. Head tells of some narrow es-
capes he has had.
At one time they took off ali their hands
stripped the quarters of all provisions, and
were only prevented from capturing some
forty of the most valuable mules by the
presence of mind of Mr.. Head.
