The n.is.,ssipai Plantation scheme.

A special correspondent of the New
York World, (copperhead) writes from
Nicksburg, December 18th, on the sub
ject of working the plantations on the
cono1ered territory ON the banks of the
Mississippi, as far as possible by free
labor His statistics are very interest
ing and his conclusions are entirely in
favor of the scheme, the objects OF which
were three fold, namely; TO relieve the
army by a semi-military occupation of
its lines of communication to demon
strate the availability of free labor in the
production of Southern crops; and lastly
to relieve the outcaSt negro from his
vagrant condition, and gradually pre-
pare him for the duties Of free man.
The correspondent says that the first
objects have been abundantly demon
strated ct the close of the first year of
trial, The commerce and navigation Of
the Mississippi have been aided and pro-
tected by the plan, and the Improvement
of the negro, (the third object of the
scheme although by nature a work of
time has been commenced with as much
success as might be hoped for.
While the plan has thus been generally
successful, it has been so over very great
drawbacks A principal disadvantage
is stated by the writer TO be in the
quality of the laborers.
"First, he says, the masters drove off
fn TnNaG l.nnpeyto II tkn I,.f
of the hands. Next came the recruiting
sergeant who took all the able bodied
men for the army, and the officers and
men of the army culled them for servants,
both male and female, of which there is
an astonishing proportion now with the
army. Hardly an officer that has not
both cook and valet, and in some cases
privates have them and a captured mule
besides Thus 1t win be seen that prac-
tically the plantations are being worked
by the decrepid and refuse of the yagrant
negroes There is lrightful proportion
of useless family members in each draft.
SO that for each good field hand you have
to keep four additional mouths The
usual allowance was 4 bale to the acre of
cotton and eight acres to the hand; but
nov tuE pIOlNCk ~ pub tLitt quarters OF
a bale and four acres to the hand is all
that can be reckoqed upon. The expe-
rience of the forty plantations worked
last season was in this proportion: Six
made handsome profits, where they We're
undisturbed by the great raid and fortu-
nate in their hands Six others lost
slightly in the arrangement of the
labor, and the rest made just enough to
tempt them TO release"
After showing Familiarity the workings
of the system of labor, which description
proves that great pecuniary profit would
accrue were the able bodied negroes only
allowed to bear their due proportion
among the laborers, the writer says:
There is now no question as to what
we shall do with the negroes. On the
contrary, the demand is greater than the
supply, until the army spurgcd Of its su-
perabundant weight There is no talk of
depreciation. They can be made to work
without the aid of the lash. They hate
their former masters and will not work
for them"

worked for Captain Gray until she earn

to the occupancy of the farm. A law

HIGHWAY RoBBERY.-Troy, N. Y, a. o
its vicinity are getting famous The
Times of Monday says that the exploits
of Claude Duval and other noted mon
ey or your life fellows, celebrated in
yellow covered literature, are about to
be equalled in these modern days-the
scene being the prosaic Troy and Ian
singburgh road, instead of Hemstead
heath or Hounslow forest. On Satur-
day evening, about o'clock, Florentin
Knaup, broker, whose shop is near the
Jail, while returning to this city from
the 'burgh, was stopped by five un-
known men near the toll gate Two of
them held his horse, while the Others
rified his pockets of seven or eight dol
lars-all the money he had in his pos
session. The robbers took their depart
ure after making tho successful raid,
which reads quite like the story of a
guerrilla attack ON Meade's supply
trains. Pretty soon the horse cars dri-
vers will hold the reins in one hand and
a revolver in the other, and the conduct
ors will punch tickets with sword
bayonet which they can use on the
guerrillas, when necessary. Guns will
be mounted on the "Monitorf, and the
formidable institution will pass over the
road at intervals, to q shell out" the
raiders.
OF a piece with this robbery was an
attack upon Mrs. Levi Smith, residing
at No. As Ferry street, last Thursday
evening, within few feet of her door
step. A man approached her, and struck
her such blow that she fell senseless.
She was picked no by gentleman, and
did not return to consciousness until
morning. Some money in her possession
was carried OF.

The telegraph, in this fast age, is be-
coming the medium for business trans
actions to almost the same extent as the
mails. Hence lawsuits are springing up,
testing the liability of telegraph compa-
MES, and ere long we shall probably
have large space In our reports and di-
gests devoted to telegraph law" We
fund reported recently two interesting
decisions as follows. The first case has
lust been dis eosed Of in the courts of st;
Louis.
PlaintifJohn Wann received by tele-
graph message from New York dated
September Is, 1862, as follows: Shall
we forward salt by steam or by sail on
lake. to which plaintiff replied on the
next day, "Ship by sail" The defend
ant telegrap5ed the message, Ship by
rail-" and the salt was sent by railroad,
at an expense of S1024 more than it
would have cost to ship by steam or
sail on lake. The defendant proved
that the blanks for dispatches contain
ed printed notice that the company
"ouib IOb DD IOl llllSldht uti-
less the party repeated the message, and
paid halfprice therefor; and it was fur
ther proved that this notice was brought
to the knowledge of plaintiff before the
sending of said message. The court in
structed the jury that the defendant was
a common carrier, and liable, notwith-
standing the said notice, if guilty of
negligence or carelessness in transmitting
said message. The sole question sub
mitted to the jury was whether the de-
fendant was guilty of the negligence or
carelessness charged; and ejury found
for the plaintiff the amount of damage
claimed, with interest"
The other case was recently before the
Pennsylvania Courts. A telegraph ope-
rator refused to send message on the
ground that its contents were known by
him to be untrue. The plaintiff sued the
company for damage Judge Campbell
ruled, and the jury sustained the ruling
by their verdict, that a telegraph COM
pany is not liable for refusing to send a
dispatch which is manifestly false.
