New Orleans, Feb. 26, 1866. {
Hon. ", Munday. Senator from East Feliciana:
Dear 81 The results Of the war compel us to
begin ! new and untrieA career in onr State. The
sudden abolition Of slavery, the great mortality
snong TIE African race, both from the sword and
disease, and their great lnEilngness to engage in
field labor, precudes the possibility of more than
fourth of the land being cultivated in the great
staples. II will require some time to procure
white or coclie labor Or both, to supply the def
ciency and even with the wissst laws we can
make encouraging emigration, the progress must
~ slow. The question, therefore, arises, what is
"A be done with the vast area Of land the richest
and most productive in the world, and which must
20 nncultivated and become waste, unless we
can change the direction Of our labor, SO as to
make third the number Of hands formerly en-
ployed, cultivate the whole.
Practical Iegislation, with determination on the
part of the people to abandon the exclusive cult
Yation Of cotton and sugar, can, III my opinion,
Accomplish this object, and within the next two
years. We have only to extend the culture of our
so 70 the varicn6 productions it is adapted to- to
make our people self lfsustaining and independent
IA greater degree than ANY other State in the
Union. Wheres the State that presents the same in
ducemant for tho settlement Of the agriculturist,
the Artl4 the capitalist and the laborer? We have
