4 Plantation Experiment In mIsslssip-
nl-ResI1lta Of Free ah0r.

"A ElA01Atfon experiment In lIAsI54lp@
pl-Rcsults OF Free Labor.
A correspondent OF the Manchester IN. HI
Mirror furnishes the following interesting in
formation:
A friend Of mine, In connection with three
others, has recently purchased cotton plan
tatlcn In Eastern Mississippi. The plauta-
soil; one Thousand are heavily ttmbefcd,
three hundred arc In grass, and seven hundred
are ut for tie cultivation OF cotton. The
plantation has Oh 1t good mansion, lerge
enough for two families, and ont-hui1dings
'oE and M All pSsp oa; nd
sary for immediate use. There aae two hun~
d1ed head Of swine, besides CATTLE and horses
sufficient for all the work For the whole,
the company pay ee5,o ,oW. The estimated
value oi the buildings and stock being 5000,
leaving the land $4,000. One slave used to
cultivate fifteen acres, at an Average Of seven
and half bales to the fifteen acres,
Before the war this plantation was worth
$l00, 900. To work 1t required 10 slaves, st0,-
O00. My friend has already hired freedmen
enough 10 DO all the work at $40 month and
cerinin allowances that will be all covered by
81 700 By the death Of hind, Or Of paying
the Interest Of 81 900 on each living one. LIE
expects to succeed in ralsing 15O, ,0W pounds
Of cotton the coming year. This at present
prices, will give clear profit over ali possible
expenses OF 350O, 900. 1Tthere il ever so small
crop there will be enough to pay good
profit, and the property Is sure to increase in
value as the country ills with Northern euli-
grafton. The county in Mississippi OF which
I write, contained In 1SC0 population of 81, :
600, Of which nearly Il, 0,O00 were slaves, md
produced over Isl, 600 bales Of cotton.
The planters arc 20 heavily embarrassed by
the results Of the war, and SO little Inclined
and able to adapt themselves to the new order
Of things, That they arc selling ont to obtain
means to meet theis present necessities. II
is wonder Of the richness Of the soil that 1t
could hare sustained such luxurious aud
Idle class as tho present proprietors, ct the
low prices obtained for crops before the war.
Now, the old masters do not know how TO
treat the negroes In their new relation, md
the negroes are Jealous Of their former mas-
ters, and prefer to work for the Yanks.'
Any man, even with small capital, can now
purchase plantation aud ensure, with enter
prise, a fortune. There arc small plantations,
many of them to be bought IN the section to

Editors Tribune:
In your paper Of yesterday is 81 article On
insurance matters, which shows, to some ex-
tent, the loose md careless manner adopted
by some companies In the very important
branch of business known as Underwriting.
The criminal records Of the United States
show that there are persons in every COM
munIty, and especially In the largo cities,
whose minds and morals are SO naturally
depraved or corrupted by evil associations,
that they are ready and willing 10 take ad.
vantage Of every opportunity which presents
itself 70 advance their pecuniarY interest, no
matter how grossly they may Violate the law,
or to what extent the Innocent must suffer BY
their conduct. "Iead rs not into tempta j
tiou," Is line which used occasionally to
sec In my younger days, and insurance agents
should bear it IN mind and practise 1t. Per-
would not have fired his premises-H be did
so-had It not been that a after considerable
solicitation they consented to let" Afr. kreut-
zendorf, trho reprtsenfs no company, insure his
stock for more than 1t was worth, do not
sny-nor do I think-that In this case
more than In thousands Of others, that the
agent Of no eou,pany was entirely to blame!
Mr. Nj. doubtless had tho elements Of evil in
his composition or hc would not haTe been
led tinfo temptatton'' and over-fnsured his
stock, thereby paying a premium on an &C.
count which IF honest, be could not claim In
case Of loss by fire.
II is becoming, 80 am informed, quite
popular with some companfes), especially
Western premium note companies, to EN-
ploy or rather allow Irresponsible agents I. {.
agents "who do not represent any company"
to solicit risks and upon surveys made
by them or upon their representa-
tions to issue policies. In many instances
these risks arc taken at low rates and for
amounts largely in advance OF the value Of
the property insured, thus not only Offering a
premium for rascality but hazarllng seriously
fhc property Of innocent parties: This Is
radically wrong. It strikes ut the foundation
ot the prosperity Of all reliable companies,
and hope If they practise 1t at a1l they viii
speedily discontinue the practice Of It them
selves, and thereby d1scountenauce 1t In
Others 1ta fruits arc evil, aud will be 50 long
as practised. ASSURANCE AGENT.

A Distressing Sight In Indianapolis.
[FtQun The IudLanapQlls journal, 20th.l

One of tho most distressing sights seen in
Indianapolis for many days, was the appear
zee In the afternoon on Washington street,
Of O caravan of emiEr2nts halllng from Sulll-
Tan county, and bound for the ne,ghborhood
OF Richmond, IN Waye county. The party
consisted Of three women and seven childEan,
who, for the past two weeks, have been trudS-
ing on foot the long and weary distance be-
tween this city and Sullivan county, living In
the mean time upon whatever provisions they
could pick up, and relying for shelter at night
upon the benevolence Of persons living on tho
route. For the past few nights they have
been compelled to camp out iu the woods or
in any old shed that Glanced TO afford them
protection Their clothing was Of the f1thlest
and most ragged description, barely sufficient
to cover their nudity, and certainly not
guilty OF Suspicion Of comfort. Their goods
were piled up IN hand cart, to the tongue Of
which two women attached themselves, and
furnished the motive power, the remaining
keeping watch over the several little urchins
that toddled after the. fate Of their parents.
The quaint md squalid appearance Of the
caravan attracted very Considerable attention,
and We are panied to say there were some
expressions, in word and conduct, not OF the
most generous mature. The evident poverty
Of the women seemed to appeal for kindness
and assistance, and, for the honor Of human
ity, amid the general coldness few warm
hearts dropped into their niggnrdly horde
some material assistance. The statement Is
yeritably true that ope-half Of the world
knows not how the other half lives.

Wholesale Confidence Game-Severnl
Farmers E1eeceds


The following from the jackson {Mich.) CT
len, of the 20th, represents method, which
has been largely adopted to swind1e the farm-
ers Of the Northwest, several nearly similar
instances having been reported In these col
rmns within the past few months:
s'About two weeks since two or three
ahrewd operators made their appearance at
Grass Lake, Leoni aud other points, In the
eastern portion Of the county. They were
named respectively Dayton, johnson and
Hicks. They represented themselves as agents
for one jas. B. Gordon, Of Cincinnati, for the
sale OF new kind Of sorghum egaporator,
price S100. Tho cyaporators were to be delfv-
cred in the spring. They we're to be put up
at no expense to the farmers, md II they
did not give satisfaction, they were not to
be paid Tor. Meanwhile, they exacted 4
bia,ik note from the farmers, With only
the amount ind signature. Wm. Weeks,
VIM. L. Ray, Lot. Hewitt and Mr. Winnie, of
Grass Lake, gave them notes In this m1y.
These notes were taken to the amount of
e, 600 or 5000. Altar all had been taken
that could be, the sharpers filed them up,
due at three months, stamped them, can
celled the stamps, aud commenced their sale.
This action was discovered and they sudden
II left tor parts unknown. We Learn that sew
eral of them were sold In this city. OF course
the makers repudiate, as they were not given
for value received. It is supposed these con-
ildence men nre still operating In the same
gume elsewhere. The farmers would DO well
10 look out for these smooth talking sor-
ghum men, and be careful about signing
