Eight to sixteen.

Lord SALISBURY recently stated in a public
meeting in London, that, from personal observa-
ton, he has ascertained that OF adult male Grim
inals of that city, nearly all had fallen in the
course Of crime between the ages Of eight and
sixteen and that If young man lives an honest
life up TO twenty years OF age, there were forty
nine chances in favor, and one :ainst him, as TO
al honorable life thereafter.
This Is d fact Of singular i'm porsanee to fathers
and mothers and shows fearful responsibility.
Certainly parent should secure and exercise
absolute control over the child under sixteen. It
canno. be a difficult matter TO do this, except in
very rare cases and If that eoatrel is not very
wisely and efficiently exercised, it must be tie
parents fault; it is oTing to the parental He-
glect OR remissness- Hence the real source ot
ninety eight per cent of the real crime such as in
England or the United States, lies at the door
of the parents. 1t is a fearful rejection. We
throw it before the minds of the fathers and
mothers of our land, and there leave it to be
thought of in wisdom, remarking 10 the earl
seeds of bodily disease that they IN nearly
every case sown between shutdown and bedtime,
in absence from the family circle in tie supply of
spending money never earned by the spsnder,
opening the doors of coufectionaries and soda
fountains of beer and tobacco and wine shops,
of sthe circus, the negro minstrel, 1.-THE restaurant
and dance; then follows the Sunday excursions,
the Sunday drive, with the easy transition to the
company Of those whose WAYS lead TO the gate OF
social, phyaieai and moral ruin. From eight to
six.esh-ln these few years the destinies OF

Labor and Crop Prospects at the south.

planters are applying themselves with a diligence
which must secure at least measurable success.
The freedmen, too, are working with zeal and
earnestness, exceeding the expectations of our
people at the beginning OF the year.
A correspondent o; the Macon ,JosF.gs, from
Barber county, On the 26sh,. writes: Where
there Is no bureau the freedmen ara ~oI king well
and seem very well satisfied 0wisg to the
great scarcity of labor the cotton crop for this
wear will barely reach half the amount produced
in 1850, which | think was estimated at four
million bales. am clearly Of the opinion that
l,500, 900 bales is full estimate for the coming
crop. vast number OF farms are therefore
idle. The same tang can be said OF other por-
tons Of the cotton growing regions OF the state
In Middle Georgia there Is great deficiency o.
iaboEers, and these are tempered with and seduc-
ed from their employers for the more fertile re-
gions of the west Or for some other purpose, leav
ing large number Of planters entirely desli-

An agent of the department of agriculture
writes 10 the same effect. Every planter that
can get labor Is putting IN all the cotton possible
il hopes 10 sell az higa rates, and many Of them
are neglecting corr, pceferriag to depend upon
the northwest for their supplies.
The freedmen have contracted freely with their
old masters as general thing. Tie higher
rates OF wages IN Alabama and Mississippi are
inducing some OF them TO discard their contracts
IN Georgia, and migrate westward; in Alabama
also.
A correspondent Of tho Montgomery Adgsrtlssr,
writing from Dale county, under date of April
25th, says: The freedmen are doing well y

between employers and employees.
