CooIie Labor for the south.

The Richmond Enquirer, a journal
never mere influential in the Southern
States than now, admits to its columns a
letter from Republican, 10 advocacy of
coolie labor for The South. The writer
argues that the Chinese coolies would cost
less in the first iuSance than the Gu:nac
mporatOns, and could be fed and cloth
ed at less than half the annual cost of ne.
grocs. The EOgnI er's oppositioo to the
cooIie syste4 is thus expressed:
"The opening Of the cooic slave trade
would doubtless be very profitable to the
ship;,ing interest. The Yankees would
make more money out of it than their ia.
'hcrs did out of the Guioae trade. But
after supplying the market and filling
their purses with the gains, the next
thing in order would be to get up a cool.
lie excitement against the South, and to
abuse us as the greatest Of carth's villa n9.
Such vas their course about the negroes /;
and they have US little conscience and
consistency now as then.
1--WE arc wholly opposed 10 this coolie
trade. We do not want our Southern
population del asel by the importation
and admixlure of the inferior breeds of
men We do not want any of the Asirt.
ic RAGE. We want men o! the Caucasian
race, and no others, as reinforcement Of
our population. We want white men
md we do not want yellow men, red men
brown men, or black pcu. Our fathers
protested against allowing the Yahk'e
ships 10 bring negroes here during tNc
colonial time; We protect against their
biIHeing the coolies hrre nov. We DE-
not choose to tc humDugsrd by names.
The slave trade is none the less the slave
rade, by c.llins it apprentice t,ade.-'
Cn"lie slavery is the . ost orrible in the
world. We do not want The poor wretch

A NEW TEXTILE.

The last discovery from Nevada is OF new
textile which has it's home in the Humboldt
valley, where it grows in large quantities, and
can, of course, be made to grow more thrift
ly by cultivation. If it has the values as
cribed to it, it will soon be removed to other
fields and propagated among regular crops.
1t is said by the discoveries, to be superior
to any textile now in use. 1t is styled hemp,
but has stronger and finer fiber than the
proper hemp, and much longer staple. In
proportion to the wood, the fiber is much
more abundant. 1t can be more easily sep
arated than fax or hemp, and can be stripped
clean from the stalk without preparation.
Nevada lies between thirty-seven degrees
and forty-two degrees north. This cores
ponds with the latitude of northern Califor-
MIA, of San Francisco, Salt Lake City, India
napols, Columbus, and Philadelphia. The
Humboldt river. along which the new hemp
grows, runs from the mountains of that name
westward, through mountainous country.
II, therefore, experiment proves what is now
claimed for this textile, it can be prolonged
in its cultivation from it's original habitat tC
our own doors, and will enhance the value o
the hemp harvest in those States where it II
now an important feature.

PRESERVING MEATs-The following is
the Knickerbocker Pickle, as given by Judge
Buel in the Albany Cultivator for October,
ls65:--
Take six gallons Of water, nine pounds Of
salt, three pounds of coarse brown sugar,
one quart of molasses, three ounces of salt
peter. and one ounce Of pearlash-mix and
boil the whole well, taking care to skim of
all the impurities which rise to the surface.
This constitutes the pickle. When the meat
is cut it should be slightly rubbed with fine
salt and suffered to lay day or two, that
the salt may extract the blood it may then
be packed tight in the cask, and the pickle,
having become cold, may be turned upon and
should cover the meat A follower to fl t the
inside of the cask, should then be laid on,
and weight put on it, in order to keep the
meat at all times covered with pickle. The
sugar may be omitted without material detri-
ment. In the spring the pickle must be
turned off, boiled with some additional salt
and molasses, skinned, and when cold re-
turned to the cask.
For domestic use, beef and pork hams
should not be sailed the day the animals are
killed, but kept until its fiber has become
short and tender, as these changes do not
take place after It has been acted upon by the
salt.
