COTTON FIELD LABOR.

There is much complaint throughout the
Southern States that the freed negroes will no,
work, and many plantations are sold or neg.
lected owing to the difficulty of obtaining Ia
borers. Major General Howard has Just re-
ceiyed a communication from a gentleman in
Tennessee. who some time ago consulted with
the General as to the best method of employ
ing freedmen, and who adopted his present
he had been very successful in engaging freed
men, having contracted with four hundred of
them, and could have easily obtained one
thousand on the terms he offers He allows
the laborer certain share OF the cotton crop,
and also tract Of land for the cultivation OF
vegetables, &c, for their own USE This gem
tleman has one plantation worked exclusively
by White men, and so arranged as to give the
experiment as to which hands are the best for
cotton raising, white or black, a fair trial He
states that he is confident of the years work
being perfect success.

A CURE FOR SMUGGLING

Hon. Nathan Sargent, Commissioner of Gus
toms, has intelligence from the customs officer
at Albion, N. u, who relates a mode lately
adopted to secure the duties on clothing and
other goods purchased in Canada and brought
into the United States. The collector there
found that notwithstanding the vigilance of
the officers large quantities of clothing We're
smuggled through in this manner. He there
fore took measures to ascertain the names of
persons residing In the States who purchased
goods in Canada and published notice in the
newspapers to the effect that their names were
known, as well as the kind OF goods purchased,
and that if such persons did not come forward
and pay duty on their goods, the marshal
would call for them and their goods, too. This
had the effect of bringing hundreds of dollars
into the public revenue that would otherwise
have been lost.
