III not q little singular that the, chol.
era should approach our shores at regu.
lar intervals Of seventeen years. 1t ragged
in 1882, again in ls49, and now the
scourge reappsars in 1866. Should the
fears 81 ito approach be- realized, there
ought to be no public excitement or pan
ic on the subject. Fear has always been
found a predispOsing element Of its at.
tack. There Is not likely to be much
danger to those whose habits are regular
who are temperate in their eating and
drinking, who avoid excitement, arc
clearly in their persons and in tho sur
roundings, and who, thinking nothing Of
1t, attend TO their business as usual.

Labor in the West.

Col. T. c. Weatherly, State Senator from
Marlboro, S. c., has just returned from o
trip to Nebraska City. He has given his
observations in a series of letters to the
Bennettsville Journal, from the last num-
ber of which we MAKE the following ex-
tract:
From Louisville ! passed through fine
country to Nashville; from Nashville to
Chattanooga it is almost one continual bat
tle.feld. You see at almost every yard
something to remind you of the awful strug.
gle in the vsy of forts, block, houses, grave
yards and field works. The country around
Murfreesboro' presents a sad picture, no
fences or enclosures to be seen in many
places A few new houses have been erec.
ted about Chattanooga. From this point
to Atlanta there are evidences everywhere
of the desolation of war and the terrific
character of the fighting.
After leaving Chattanooga saw no good
crops until I reached Rome, Ca, and very
little life and business activity except in
Atlanta. l was told that there is more de.
mand for real estate in this city than any
place in the South, and property sells high
er than it ever did. A great many North
ern men have purchased real estate with
view of settling there. Many who have
formerly been engaged in planting are dis
posed to abandon this and undertake the
mercantile or manufacturing business
They regard planting as Improbable and
ruinous with the present system of labor
and surroundings, but I can't see how any
other busines is to flourish and prove profit
able unless somebody plants, and this busi-
ness is successful. I am more and more
convinced that the production Of cotton in
any considerable quantity is ont of the
question with our present system Of labor.
From present prospects I very much fear
that most persons will be so thoroughly dis.
gusted with it as not to engage in it another
year, particularly where they have anything
to lose. 1t is full time, it seems to me, to
be looking for some other system Of labor
which may present stronger probabilities of
success. ...
Lam inclined to think that for the pro.
duotion of cotton no foreign labor will like
" succeed so we'll as the Coolie. But re-
stricted by acts Of Congress to contracts
for one year, it is impossible to import them
with any success. If left unrestricted,

THE WARS OF Forty. NINE YEARS IN
EURopE.-A writer in the London Morn
ing Star says: "The following statistics
read with sad interest at'this moment: Be
tween the years 1915 and 1854, 1882, ,00C
men were killed in battle. Of these 2, ,148,.
600 we're European and 164 1000 inhabi
tants Of the other continents. Thus, du
ring fortyaiue years the average annual
number who thus perished amounts to 49,
300 men, not including the victims of dis
ease engendered by the consequences ofwar
The Crimean war (ls53-56) was naturally
the most destructive, 511 900 men having
perished during its course 176, 1000 of these
died Oh the field of battle; 5000, from
disease in hospital; 256,OOO being Russians,
$4,000 Turks, 100000 French, $4,000
English, $500 Italians, and $500 Greeks.
The war 10 the Caucasus (lS59 -60) cost
the lives of $50, 900; the Anglo. Indian war
(1S57-59), 1876, 900; the Russian and Tur.
kish war QS2S-29), 10000 !; the Polish
insurrection of 1881, 10000 the civil war
Of Spain which ragged from 1888 to 1910,
l72,OO0; the war of Greek independence
(lS2l-29), to which Lord Byron fell vic.
tim, 14S,000; the various French cam:
paigns in Algeria, from 1880 to 1850,
10000; the Hungarian revolution, 142,-
600; the Italian war of 1S59-60, 129,.
874; which last namber may be thus ana.
lyzed-96,S74 fell on the field Of battle, and
$4,000 died Of disease Of which 59,646
were Austriaus, 30,220 French, 23,6OO
Italians, l4,O10 Neapolitans, and 1870 Ro.
mans! " 80 - n :a.-.e.. ... .-
A curious result may be deduced from
the aboVs-namely, that a greater number
perish BY the diseases incident to camp
life than are aotuslly killed by shot and shell
