lRRIGATIoN.-We find the following in the
Woodland News Of September 30ih: We
have q communication making suggestions as
well as inquiries about the project of bring
ipg body of water from the Sacramento
river. through the counties of Colusa, Yolo
and Solano. For the benefit OF CIR correspon-

state that the survey has been mace once. and
the fact demons rated that the obstacles in the
way of success are only imaginary. The sur
vey that has been actually made demonstrates
the fact that the entire valley. west Of the
river can be flooded All that is necessary Is
the formation Of company for the purpose,
and let the land be granted to that company,
or to the State. to effect such an obiect-any
way. so that the great valley of the Sacga,

of age. while attending camp meeting 10 this
vicinity, and in the act of prayer, went into

eleven days, at the expiration of which time
she was attacked with alphonia, and from that

doubt, be a source of rejoicing to her many
friends Having procured for her a pint of

it about ten o'clock yesterday morning, and in

surprise in this part of the country. and will,
10 doubt, interest a number Of your readers,
and mayhap some one similarly afflicted may,
by proper application, be relieved. 1t may be
well to state that Miss Barnell was, prior to
her loss of speech, troubled with cholera, or
commonly called ST. Ntus dance.

On viewing the children, they seem active
enough. But on looking closely, they will be
found with poor perceptives, or the faculties
which nicely distinguish. They have no sharp,
angular development of organs which can lead
them To strive to excel. In modern times, re-
suits rapidly follow. We rise or we sink In
| single day. This want of perceptlves in the
| large class to which the refugees belong has
| terrible meaning. The ability to compete with
| the enterprise of this age is dead in them. In
slower or more sluggish ages they might be
gradually elevated. Now, they have no time
to prepare for conflict with the eagerness,
the science and the skilled labor of a superior
race. Without land, where they can raise hogs
and corn, they will perish. Without capital OF
without ability to acquire it, they are destined
in one or wogenerations to be annihilated.
Even now the process is rapidly going on
Were they good laborers they might be saved.
They have neither the will nor physical abili-
ty to labor. Their women are more faithful
and desirable as laborers. Northern men pre-
fer them at the same price, When the best
qualities of race take refuge in the female,
the end is near. The Coniederacy itself ex-
pired in female apparel.
The negro knows how to labor. His abili-
ty to work lies in his bones, in his muscles, in
his nerves, in his whole being. Like string
ed instrument he is in tune. Much more than
Inls, IL mas Deen his study to listen to the
faintest sounds and signs, and to watch every
movement of the human face. To save him
self from rejecting ON himself he has reflect
ed on his work and on the care of animals
Much is limited and false-the fruit has been
development Of his perceptiyes. This explains
why SO easily he learns to read-reading and
writing do come by nature. In slavery he
has acquired the qualities which make the civ
ilzed man. 1t is of the highest national inn
portance that the negro's rcfectives be devel-
oped; upon this depend the future glory and
greatness of the American Republic Much
through the whole world depends upon this
The stone which was rejected has become the
head ofthe corner. 1t is vain for two millions
of people, without perceptives and with soft
muscles, to contend with four millions with
perceptives and hard muscles
The old shareholders of Virginia recently
reached the hight of impudence and folly
when they settled the wages of the negro at SIS
a month or Is cents day. When you talk
about paying man IS cents a day for farm
work, smith work, carpentry work, ditching
and wood-chopping, you want new ideas and
will be apt to get them. Lord, have we
fought this war at an expense of three billions
OF dollars and half million of lives that the
laborer may have 18 cents day If this is SO,
another war viii be needed. The question
about voting viii be but small matter then.
