BELL PLANTATION, CARROLL PARISH. La.
Serfamh her a. 1873


BELL PLANTATION, CARROLL PARISH. LA.,l
September o, 1858. !
Knowing that you are at all times
anxious to gain Information in regard to
the cotton crop, / take pleasure in laying
before you the number Of acres planted
in this parish, which can be relied on as
correct. On what is known as "river
places" there is in cultivation about
$4,000 acres; the "hil crop" about 5000
acres-which are outside figures This
gives us $4,000 acres of cotton in the
parish. Now the question Of yield is
more difficult to get at, but it is safe to
say that not more than half bale to the
acre will be made, say 5000 bales, or one
tenth of what was produced prior to the
war; Many large plantations off the river
are now forests of cottonwood, and many
plantations on the river have also grown
up in woods. Thousands and tens OF
thousands of acres Of the best land in the
world has returned to its ancient
grandeur, and the vast forests that now
present themselves ION land once under
cultivatiop) are strong proofs of howrap:
idly the South is being reconstructed
Madison parish will not produce any
more cotton than this parish. Previous
to the war they produced about the same
number of bales, say together 10000
bales; this season about onetenth, or
$4,000 bales.
The worm has been doing considerable
damage. On many places the crop will
not average q quarter of bale others
will make bale. But we can safely say
that the crop in Carroll and Madison
will not average over half a bale to the
acre.
The corn crop, though the fact has
been concealed, will fall short of an
average yield in this and adjoining
psrisbes-searcely enough made to last
until June, which will be seriously felt
But the price of cotton is about double
what any of the planters expected to get
when they planted Consequently the
amount they get for say halt crop will
be equivalent to full crop. This
counter balance, if realized, will make
things comfortable.
This country is getting into condi-
tion TO recuperate. If the national legis-
lation weuld lend any encouragement,
or if the "powers that be" would let
these States regulate to some extent
their own affairs, there would be no diff.
6culty in obtaining capital and labor to
develop their resources. But the gentle
men in charge of the Freedmen's Bureau
convince the poor negro that it is against
his interest to elect men who are in
favor of building and keeping in repair
the evees, as the land will be theirs if
they are permitted to remain down until
the country is so ruined that the whites
will have to abandon it. This is their
doctrine, and one reason why there is no
confidence felt in the prosperity of the
South under the present rule. l am
occupying too much of your valuable
space, and will close with the hope that
the reins of government may get into the
hands of Seymour and Blair, when this
country will blossom like the rose"

A Dirty Tool Flung Aside.

A man named Thomas Swami,
elected Governor by the Union men
Of the State Of Maryland, had il in
his power to sell into the hands OF
the enemies Of his party tho control
Of the State. He did II, BY de-
liberate disregard Of the laws which
ho had sworn to execute; by the most
disgraceful treason 10 every obliga.
tion to those who had elevated him;
anxious only TO climb into power,
and attain higher station; ho bound
the Union men of Maryland hand
and foot, aud sold them to their
enemies. Not only did no do this in
effect, but he carried out with patient
careful treachcry, every detail Of his
work. ttrrt
We doubt if in all the history Of
politics, there is a case to be compar.
cd with this. Other men have been
tricky, or uniaithful, or unscrupulous,
but this man, from FIRST TO last, ex-
hausted ingenuity in his treason.
For tho benefit of all time to come
lot the history Of the last few days
tell how this man has been rewarded.
He gave Maryland to the Democrats.
He gave il TO tho Philip Thomasos,
whose sops were in the Rebel army;
TO the Gilmores, whose brothers were
with the guerrillas He gave it to
the Bowies and Carmiehaels, and
Archers aud PIatts, aud SCOTS, whose
every sympathy during fyo years of
war, was completely aud entirely with
the armed foes Of the Republic. They
hold Maryland to-day 10 Rn iron
grasp, which thirty thousand disfran,
chised citizens alone can loosen, by
the action of Thomas Swami. What.
ever officers they have, whatever
money they iilch, whatever honor'
they wear, whatever power they WELD
came 10 them By means Of treaeher-
ons Tom Swami.
Ills work done, he begged for his
reward. TO the men whom his tIoa
son had placed in power he humbly
eams. They had an Office in their
gift which must be bestowed some
whero. This man asked it. lie plead
for II, He begged it. lie filled then
with meat and drink, that through
their stOmachs he might gain tbeil
