ENFORCING CONTRACTS Pic York.
vile IS. c. Enquircr says "Wr are
gratihed to learn that the farmers in
Union District are hopeful Of Being able
to secure II much larger amount Of free
labor for the present year than the pros.
pect offered few weeks ago. The
agents of the Freedmen's Burean have
enforced the making Of contracts
wherever there was any evidcnce of nm.
willingness on the part Of the freedmen
to work and summary punishment for
idleness and vagrancy is generally be-
ing accorded to- snch as merit it.
A large proportion Of the farmers
there have engaged, upon reasonable
terms, sulliciency of labor for the
present year. The prospect seems to
be fair that IL sufficient quantity Of land
will bn put under cultivation to meet
the wants of the District, and leave a
margin for the raising of saleablc pro.
ducts"
The New York Erpress says :--"Thc.
crop Of cotton taxedin 1866, we predict,
will be very much larger than was anti.
cipated six months since, and if we mis-.
take not, wkite labor alone will raise
onetlird Of the old crop. Tennessee,
North Carolina and Arkansas will raise
great deal Of cotton in this way, and
the tTenaesseans are wisely devoting
themselves mainly to cotton production.
1t is certain that for two or three years
hardly anything will pay better. The
experience of the civil war, and the
combined skill and capital OF the Old
World, has proved that the United
Ste les can have no rival as cotton pro.
ducing country"
