The State Seminary.

We are pleased to be, able to state
that the state Seminary near this place
has 80 far escaped the prevailing cpl
demic. This isdpe partly to the natu-
ral healthfulness Of its situation and
rartly to the precautions taken by the
officers'of the Institution in cutting OIL
all communication with the infected
% district. The patrons OF our State
school may now rest, satisfied that then
sons can pursue their studies during
.. yellow fever season without the slight,
est danger of contracting that teaffu
disease. This is the first time that tie
fever has been in the parish since TIN

The Prospects Of Cotton Planting

Whatever may be the quantity OF cotton
produced this season, it seems certain,
from all accounts, that The planters VIII
receive little remuneration for it.. The
freedmen, by their indisposition for labor,
have discouraged the planters tor future
efforts. Those who paid rent for pianta-
tions have actually lost money by the cotton
cultivation. The low price Of cotton is
also discouraging. AtsAtlanta and other
points it is selling at fourteen cepts, or
about ten cents in gold, which ais rather
lower than the price obtained in specie IN
1860. Then, it is true, cotton could be
proftably made at seven cents, for allprlces,
were correspondingly lew. The expense OF
cultivation is now doubled, and 10 another
wear it Is not at all probable that the freed
men will be- induced to labor, even under
the stimulus of advanced compensation.
Having control of the government aof the
, ton-growing States, with the support OF
! the Federal army, they will become more
thoroughly detnoralized and lndolent I, than
! ever. In some Of the States they VIII use
the power Of legislation to tax the land
: and property holders to the extent OF con
! Gscation.
The cotton manufacturers, we notice, arc
: now beginning to complain of the cottor
! tax, which they allege destroys the cottor
: trade, and added to the tax on the produc
; of their mills will force them out Of tn
