These who are undertaking the
plantations are mostly their owners,
though we hear of large farms being
rented both by Northern and South
ern men. One Northern man has
taken a place Of l 900 acres, and has
now employed 14O hands. A friend
of ours, who has planted all his life
nearly, has taken three plantations,
and contracted with all the labor
he wants for them.
These encouraging facts show that
the agriculture Of the country is
no: to be given up without an ef-
fort; nay, more, that the experiment
working freed negroes on planta-
tions is to be tried in all ways.
From tho different. methods Of EN-.
ployment, it is to be hoped and be-
lieved that the best will be discov-
cred. To this end, we shall be glad
to receive as frequent reports as pos
sible from the planters in all parts
of the country. We shall be glad
to know how the negroes are work
ing, how they settle difficulties, what
remedies are employed for misbe.
havior, and what the promise is of
the crop.
The future is anything but promis-
ing, save in the fact that our people
do not despair. So long as they
keep up good courage, and lay hold
ofths difficulties with spirit, there
is at least all the hope possible in the
circumstances. That so many are
confident, is a good sign.
We are glad to see capital from
anywhere, North or South, engaged
in our agriculture. There is room
for all; whoever succeeds best will
be entitled to tho credit Of it, a.
we'll as to the enjoyment of his
profits. If things work favorably
the G oming year, these profits will in
many instances swell to fortunes of
themselve.
Tie Georgia Commission, ap-
pointed to prepare q code of laws
for the freedmen, has submitted 4
report. 1t provides that all persons
of color shall have the right to ac-
quire and inherit property, sue and
be sued, and give their testimony in
all civil cases where the rights of
negroes are involved, and in all
criminal csses when the accused is q
negro. The report is approved by
the Governor, who says, "While we
insist upon Occupying, in relation 10
to the freedmen, the position of the
roverning classes, let 10 fully meet
its responsibilities" This should
satisfy sensible men, bot the men
who Ire not satisfied are insensible
TO the rights Of white men.
