Mr.. ]. S. Kellery, of Pennsylvania, who
went to South Carolina at the request OF
a company intending to buy land for agri-
cultural purposes, gave a favorable report
of the fertility of the soil and OF the dis
position of the inhabitants towards emf
grants. He says he finds the people
kindhearted and affable, affording a hear
ty welcome to all good citizens who come
to settle among them.
Every man of sense knows that the
South not only desires, but must have
immigration it she expects to see her
weed-covered fields once more blossom
ings'as the rose. But it don't suit certain
parties North that the truth should be
known in the matter. No one but a fool,
or a knave, would interfere or NEEDLE
with an emigrant no matter from whence
he came, nor are they meddled with ex-
cept in the imagination of Radical politi-
clans Of the North. They believe it IN
wholesome to tell The truth at any time.

tesies which tend to render the rugged
path Of life smooth and agreeable. Such
were the thoughts that crowded upon us
yesterday at receiving a copy Of the New

sumed its publication on Monday last
after a suspension Of four years. 1t as
sumes very near the typographical style
Of the cid papo, although much heater.
The editorials are characteristic of the
excellence which once made that paper
so popular with the reading public, es
p~ecially among commercial men. The
local department is admirably edited,
while the new matter and other selec.
tons are in full keeping with the spirit
Of the paper. We welcome the Bulletin
once more to our exchange list, and hope
the proprietors may realize a handsome
reward for their labors.

Gen. Grant will soon be as bitterly cp-
posed to the radicals as the President
hgpself. Not being able to obtain his
assistance to carry out their troublesome
designs upon the country, they will now
let loose their hounds upon his tracks.
Thus Jack Hamilton, in a speech recently
made at Cleveland, alternate his usual
abuse of the President with assaults on
Congress and said that if Andrew John.
son should be deposed by a writ of i'm
parchment, and any military commander,
enven Grant himself, should respond to

would be unmade even more speedily

THE SUGAR CRoP. During a recent trip
to New Orleans, we bad an excellent op-
portanity of seeing much OF the cane
planted on the river plantations. Of
we could not form no approximate estr
mate of the yield, from what we saw, not
knowing the quality of the cane nor the
number of acres, but enough to satisfy us
that sugar can again be made in houisi-
ana, if the proper efforts are only used
to foster and encourage It's culture
There are more plantations entirely, or
partially~in cant this year, than most
persons imagine, especially those who
have had no opportunity to examine tor
themselves. Estimates have been made
by persons fully competent as to the pro-
bable yield this year, which while they
fall lamentably short Of the crops OF the
oIden time, are, nevertheless, under the
circumstances, encouraging. Some OF
those estimates reach loo, 900 ~hogsheads,
while, others, less sanguine, are not will
ing to concede more than 10000 hogs
heads. To give some support to the lat
ter estimate, we must admit that the cane
is very small, but little juice and not cul-
tivated with the care and patience zane
should have. These are defects easily
remedled in another years planting, if
the labor can only be made available
But we think from personal knowledge
and observation that the negro on the
a~lluvial lands of this State, are becoming
fully conscious that there is more money,
greater certainty Of getting it, and with
far less labor in cans than in cotton up
on COCO fields; aud that they prefer cane
to cotton, as a general rule, is a fact I'M
deniable Here and there, grumblers CAP
be found to cavii at a little extra work,
but then these same negroes would grum-
BILE just for the sake of it.
