days paper we publish an in
teresting description of the re-
sources of Southern Mississippi
as viewed by q correspondent
of the Chicago Republican,
What is said of the wealth of
Southern Mississippi is equally
as true of Louisiana. It re-
quires no seer or sooth-sayer to
depict the wealth and material
greatness of our Southern
cline. The prodigal hand of
nature has lavished her wealth
upon the land we love. Our
resources are boundless. There
is, to-day, no cline beneath the
sun, so favored as ours-if we
except the political chaos that
darkens our horizon. Here,
land and provisions are cheap ;
and truly does mother earth
"laugh with a harvest" if she
is but eVer so lightly "tickled
with a hoe" The poorest of
our bill lands produce without
manuring. Suppose we manure
our land as the New England
farmer is forced to? What
would be the result ? Stock
live the year through with but
little or no attention. Natures
granary feeds and fattens the
herds of our land. Generally
our winters are mild. Wood
and water are in abundance.
All that our State wants is
"peace," and industrious citi-
zens to till the land and devel-
op the hidden wealth that lies
buried in every acre of our
land. Truly, he who owns a
good farm here, possesses an
inheritance that is richly worth
the holding to. Why should
our people, dissatisfied, seek
other homes? Where can they
better themselves They may
go far and fare badly in the
end. To those who are estab-
lished here, we say, remain. To
those who seek homes, let them
come to Louisiana. Here they
will find a land not teemino
with milk and honey" but
comfortable homes, where q
good living and some money
can be made by a little perse-
verance and industry. No State
offers greater inducements than
Louisiana. Soon the thraldom
that rests upon our people will
beremoved, and prosperity and
confidence will again bless us
I Occasionly "some heart.

L. The freedmen of orr

u The freedmen of our
parish are getting along ex-
ceedingly we'll. We hear off
complaints against them. A
better understand prevails
The best of feeling will always
exist between the whites and
blacks of our country, if the
of the later are not
arrayed against the former by
the pernicious intermeddling
of scalawagery and carpet bag
gerry. Now that our parish is
about free from these evil infiu-
ences, we venture to predict
the, dawning of a harmonious
era among our people. d Our
white citizens have always been
kindly disposed towards The
freedmen, and had not Radical
ism cursed the land, there
would never have been a scene
enacted to mar the peace and
harmony that of right should
exist between the races. A bet
ter feeling exists now. The
blacks know that the white
citizens of this country are
their only friends. The carpet
bag falacy has exploded. It's
evil influence is numbered
among the things that were.
The desolation that has sadden-
ed our land, we feel, has passed
away. Let our citizens in their
dealings with the freedmen im-
press upon them the interest
both races have in peace and
harmony-honesty and indus
try. Let them be taught who
are their real friends, and what
is their best interest. Deal
fair with them. Do not deceive
them. Be firm and positive
with them. Radicalism is dead
to all intents and purposes, il
we do but actwell our parts
Let us not warm the inanimate
serpent into life again, by acts
of either folly or negligence.
