Let this kind of enterprise 60 On. The
South has cotton lands, cotton and labor
Why not pocket the profits of cotton manu-
facture? IF New England millowners can
double their capital in from one to three years,
declaring magnificent annual dividends, why
should Georgia, Alabama and other Southern
States throw away the opportunity to make
iemuneratiye profits upon their own peculiar
staple? While waiting for the Radical party
to come to it's senses, do justice and admit the
excluded States to the enjoyment OF their
Constitutional privileges, the South can we'll
afford, for time, to dismiss from It's mind
political affairs, and address itself to the davel-

DErERIoRATIoN.--Duri the recent session
Of the Farmers Convention in this city, pains
we're taken to ascertain the opinions of the
intelligent and practical men who composed
that body, as to the causes and course OF life
which tend most rapidly to the deterioration in
the value of the free negro as usetul laborer.
They were, we believe, almost unanimously OF
the opinion that the desire among the freed
men was almost universal to squat upon 4 few
acres Of poor land erect a Tretched cabin OF
logs and mud, buy or steal pig, few dung
hill fowls, an old musket and half dozen
dogs of low degree, and live after a semi-bar-
barous fashion, without regular and honest
toll. Whenever, through the weakness, neces-
sites or amiability Of the land owners of a
county, their lands are thus tenanted, there is
an infinite amount of lhieVing and very great
difficulty in obtaining labor. And the farmers
from all parts of the State were seriously ap-
prehensive that whenever the freedmen"
are permitted to lead the kind of lives to which
We have referred, there will be as complete a
destruction OF the agricultural interests OF the
State as there has been in Jamaica For the
Royal Commissioners recently appointed to
inquire into the causes of the downfall of the
prosperity Of Jamaica, and also into the worth
leSSneSs of the emancipated slaves, ascrlbe
both misfortunes to this very ''squatter sys.
tem,' which our most intelligent Virginia
farmers are now viewing with SO much appre-
hension.-Rich Times.
