WHITE LABOR FOR CorroN CuLruRE.-The

WHITE LABOR FOR CoTToN CULTURE-The
Charleston News says:
gentleman from the Southwest has
made an arrangement at the North for the
cultivation of one thousand acres of cotton
land by fifty Swedish laborers. He says
that this plan is being largely adopted in
Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi, and
Arkansas He alsoinforms us that Northern
capitalists are readily advancing capital for
the purpose of planting on shares; that
societies are formed that furnish labor for a
commission, and that the effect has already
been to advance lands that four months ago
could have been easily bought for 500 to $50
an acre.

LATE CONFEDERATE OFFICERS AND SOLDIERS.
Our own city furnishes such pleasing
proof of the appositeness of the following ex-
tract, that we feel pleasure in copying it,
which we do from an article in the Memphis
Evening Advertiser Of the 6th
Nothing SO illustrates the sterling worth
of character, generally, as the manner in
which the officers and soldiers of the late
Confederate armies have deported themselves
since the failure of that cause to which
they had given the earnest work of earnest
hearts. From generals to privates, they
have met their fate as men, and have, at
once, addressed themselves to the task of
building up their ruined fortunes. We see
them in all positions. and they make all
positions honorable. They turn their hands
to anything their backs upon nothing that
will gain for them an honest livelihood
They are the salt of this country, and they
will leave their impress upon it, as of old
They are returning to their old haunts and
though they find many strange faces occu.
pying their old places, they will resume the
helm to guide and direct the interests of their
own sunny land.-N. 0. Picayune.

WRITING FoR TIE Press.

There are thousands Of excellent farmers
in our country, who are capable of penninp
communications that would be read with
great interest ao md anER6tp nE tplBw It ana
other implements of husbandry, will be able
to pen an article equal to the man who has
never done but little else in his whole life
but write.
We desire to have our young farmers try
their hand little If they fail, it can be
no worse for them Writing ene communi-
cation viii greatly facilitate the task of PEN
ming another. Farmers have a great deal
of leisure during our long winter evenings;
and it would be an excellent way to spend a
portion of their time to write communica-
tions on subjects connected with their bust
ness. Let us suggest few thoughts to aid
young writers:
Write briefly. You can pen eommunica
tion of good length on one page of foolscap
paper Record facts which have been inter-
esting and profitable to yourselves, and you
may rest assured that your writings will be
perused with interest by others. Young
writers sometimes think that if a communi-
cation does not cover three or four pages of
foolscap paper, it viii not be acceptable to
an editor. Nothing is more erroneous.
Editors usually prefer short articles to long
ones Four short communications would be
much more likely to prove acceptable to edi-
tors, and to be published, than one long one.
Ii there is any subject on which you have
made discoveries, OF on which you have
thoughts that would be likely to be profta-
bic to other farmers, sit down and write
upon it, but confne yourself to that subject
alone-e. g. the management of cows, OF
sheen or other animals
Many farmers have certain modes of per-
forming different kinds of labor, which if de-
scribed in proper language, would be Of
great value to beginners. Let our young
men improve their talents in communicating
their knowledge to others.
While engaged in manual labor the mind
may be employed in the investigation Of
some subject to write on, after the labors ci
the day have closed

AMONG THE PINES.

Large sections of the South offer millions
OF acres CT primeval forest, easily accessible
and furnishing the finest lumber and timher
in the world. The pine regions of North
Carolina, which, without further growth.
half century use could scarcely exhaust
are surpassed if possible, by the vast pine,
rles OF Southern Georgia. In Appline, Ir-
win, Coffee, Colquit, Worth, Berrien and
other counties of that state, some of them
larger than the state of Rhode Island. one
may travel tor days, and for hundreds OF
miles, and be always among the pines. -
On every side, over the hills, in the ravines,
ana on the understanding plains, there is a
thick growth of huge, heayen-reacbino
trees, shutting out the sky and darkening
the ground, a sombre sea of pines. This (
the poetieal view of the practical fact that
these almost illimitable forests. Weld good,
sound, merchantable yellow pine, waiting
for the cutting, and worth from twenty-five
70 thirty dollars per thousand feet on shin
board at the nearest port, and much more
money IN Boston, Baltimore, Philadelphia
or New York.
All that is needed to convert these stand
ing trees into timber and money is the enter
prise and capital which should fill these pine
barrens with men, mules, axes and saw
mills The land and lumber thereon, as it
stands, can be had for a trihing cost.
brunswick, on the southeastern coast of
Georgia, is the outlet for this region. 1t
has good harbor, where vessels can lie and
load for any port, north or south. From
Brunswick to Waresboro', in Ware county,
there is a railway crossing the Southeastern
Georgia Railroad, and other roads are pro-
jected or building which viii traverse the
whole pine region, carrying all needed sup
plies, and Bringing back lumber to Bruins
wick or 20 Savannah.
The riches long unused in this region are
now to be brought into commerce. There
are six frst-class saw mills already running
at Brunswick, a dozen more are building,
and the capital is raised to build at least
twenty more. Steam and water are both
employed to drive these mills, and on all the
streams running through the interior, RATS
of logs are floating towards the Brunswick
mills. A new and busy race is peopling the
pine woods, and the long while silent woods
ring with the axe-stroke. The field is invi-
ting to laborers who wish to emigrate to the
South. The labor is constant and remuner-
ative, the cost of living is low, and wages
are high. Men of enterprise, with small
capital will be enabled to become large pine
land owners and proprietors of well-paying
mills, producing at cheap rates lumber com
manding always the highest prices at the
North, and for which the demand is literally
unlimited: while the supply itself is mex
haustible.

During the summer of Is, a gentle
man. by the name Of sold Mose, who was
considerable of a wag, was travelling on q
steamboat up the Mississippi river. He
had with him an ugly cur, that he called
Major
"0ld Nose was seated with a number
of men in the cabin, and was boasting what
his dog could do. The captain, who was
standing near, remarked that what he said
might be true, but he did not believe it.
Nose replied, that be would bet the treat for
all the gentlemen present, that he would
make his dog do three things by telling him
to do them. The captain took the bet Nose
then opened the door and went out on the
guards, followed by the captain and gentle
men present, who were anxious to see the
sport. Nose seized him by the nape of the
neck, and tossed him overheard. As soon
as he touched the water, Nose yelled out:
'tSWim, Major, swim 7.
The dog swan, of course. Moss kept his
eyes on the dog. As soon as he perceived
that the dog could touch the ground, he
roared out:
Wade, Major, Wadel"
Major waded until he landed on dry
ground, when Nose shouted out
Shake yourself -
| Major shook himself Moss turnea to the
captain, who with the gentlemen present,
were convulsed with laughter, and. exclaim-

TOO MUCH OF A GOOD THING
BY CLARA AUGUSTA.

BY CLARA AUGUSTA.
There is one thing in which | think nov
elitS make great mistake. Ii they par
ticularly desire to enlist the sympathies of
their readers for their hero or heroine, they
represent him or her alone in the world,
destitute of relatives or friends, with no
uncle or aunt, or even a country cousin to
fall back upon.
Now to my mind, such a situation is
the aouuc Of thiS.
Everybody who4eads this viii call me a
brute but wish before he judges me, he
wait until he is the youngest ofslxteen chill
dren born of mother who was afflicted
with twelve brothers and sisters, and son OF
father who has ten sisters living.
This is my situation-the situation OF
James Brown, Of Brownsville.

atiyes were not source OF trouble TO me-
All through my childhood | was afflicted
with aunts. They wanted to kiss me and
though never objected to being kissed by
the ladies in general, | objected 70 this mon
opoly Of aunts And, besides, all Of my aunsa
but one took snuff and she smoked.
As | grew olderamy uncles became my
trial. They wanted me to do chores They
were all settled down near my fathers resi-
dence-most of them farmers If the sheep
got inthe field, or the horses jumped out of
the pasture, or the cat eat up the chickens,
Jim was called to attend TO the matter. Ii
the greatest wonder in the world that L did
not run my feet off before ! reached the age
Of young manhood.
When reached the period of being tor
tured with the tie of my eravats, and
agonized about the glossiness Of my dickies,
then my cousins came down upon me with
then wants. If they wanted to 90 to a
concert, or singing school. OF lecture, or
dance, Why there was cousin Jim. OF
course cousin jim would be delighted to go.
And cousin Jim would 60 ; and they
would firt with some other fellows, who
were not cousins, all the evening and like

stranger to mirrors, stepped into the cabin
