"The Southern Field for the Unem
ployed.''
Uneln-

piOyeu.'
We have received large number of
letters from responsible meu in the South,
in response to several articles in the
Democrat upon the field of labor there.
This, our correspondents see, and
therefore, warmly commend the system
OF emigration proposed by us. Our ad-
vice to those who desire to settle in the
productive Southern field is, that they
shall go there to work for Themselves
not for the city capitalist. We would
have them familiarize their minds with
the pecuiarities OF the Southern coun-
try; ascertain the nature of the soil, and
the crops it promises; then, by CORES.
pondence with men who are there, not
as spectators upon Dthers' needs, but as
citize MS anxious for the improvement of
their localities, fnd from them where
lands are to be had, and OH what terms,
and then go on and purchase.
Any industrious man Mt the North. to-
day, can make desirable terms for farms,
and for himself and family n permanent
happy home. There is strong desire
among the Southern people that immi-
grafton there should be of class desir.
ing to have homes for themselves, and
to be permanent citizens there. To such,
those of the Southern people who retain
their lands will readily sell, and on terms
which will enable the industrious pur-
chaser to pay for his land from the crops
he grows. Thousands here Mt the North.
who are now struggling for precarious
subsistence, might there be building for
themselves comfortable homes, which
they would own instead of hire. To such
the Southern field is open; such will be
welcomed there, and such can establish
themselves on means bnt trifle more
than sufficient to take them there.
That the South is now the field for
those who desire to have homes of their
own, and are willing to work to that end,
as no one will deny. Lands are cheap D,
far cheaper than they will be few years
hence, and now is, perhaps, a better
time to make the change than hereafter.
Gentlemen Mt the South, familiar with
it's peculiarities of climate and soil will
readily give all desired information to
such rs incline to make the South their
future home

fought bravely by Aldermen e. p. Wall

the former hit upon an expedient. With
potentous look, and solemn mien, he
moved the previous question, which mo-

an appeal from the decision of the Chair,
which the Chair refused to entertain.

CHINA's THREE HUNDRED MILLION
POPULATION TO BE DEPLETED. The
Southern people have for several years
been looking for substitute for negroes
for farm labor, and the question of in :
PRODUCING Cinnamon was entertained
during and after the war by the lnud
owners of that part of the country. A
company was organized not long ago in
st. Louis. with the object of supplying
Southern planters with coolies, who, it is
proposed, aro to be collected at ST. Louis
and distributed into the South. in time
for the work on next years crop.
There are in California between two
and three hundred thousand Cinnamon
at the present time. and many more are
constantly arriving from across the Pa
cifio. We wish to begin the transpor-
tation OF them to st. Louis rs soon as
possible, and to have a large supply of
them on hand in time for the crops of
next year.
In answer to the principal inquiry in
regard to the introduction OF Chinese
labor in the South, 1--WE mean its cost, J
We can only say at present that we esti-
mate the expense of transportation to

exclaimed; an old Western steamboat
captain, as three of us stroll the hall to-
gether. t'Year before last, he made
contract with me for transporting sup
plies to Omaha, ammounting to million
and half dollars; and he actually signed
that contract without ever reading it.

captain, suppose this is all right, and

II never saw him excited bIt once, {"
observes our companion, DR.. Ray, OF the
Chicago Post, ''and that was at Bull
Kun, He had started ont With good
,iany OF us, to go to Richmond. When
the stampede began, he was the nngriest
man ever saw. He picked up o stake
and sprang right in front of the running
soldiers and in spite Of their muskets
and fixed bayonets, hit right and left,
shouting: Go back, You id cowards-
go back!' And n good MANY of them
actually did turn back"
At last, after his every nerve has been
strained for four years, he is foot-loose
once more. ''The rails are laid" he
says. with n quiet smile, "and now I
don't care whether school keeps or not. "
AS he gets up for stroll we see the
chief mark that this terrible labor has
left on him; his frame is bowed, antl he
looks like a modern Atlas, a little sur
prised to find that his heavy burden has
rolled of. He has done the work; let
him have the credit of it. He is said to
own one-fourth of the entire road. Now
he will devote himself to his private
affairs, which have taken care of them
selves during three busy years. Per
haps, for this summers recreation he
will build the play of RAILWAY to
the Adirondacks,' in which he has a con-
trolling interest, and where he owns half
million acres Of land, more or less.
Where will his indomitable energy
next find vent? His muinspring seems
to be not love of money for itself, or of
notoriety in any sense, but love for
large operations-a resistless desire to be
swinging great enterprises, and doing
everything on magnificent SCALE And
yet this man, who has chosen such a
stormy career, and who while vet under
fifty has carried forward such stupen-
dous and historic work to completion,
half considers his life failure, because
it has not been devoted to natural
science, the subject of all others which
fascinates him, and in which he always
finds rest and recreation. It is the old,
old story, forever repeated, from the
Udnitas rdnitatum of the wise king to the
"philosopede" soliIoquy of Hans Brett
man.

Greedy. of tho New York Tribune
gives the cnrpet-baggers of the South
another hint when he says in leading
editorial "that it is high time that South
ern Republicans should desst from hang
ing around the neck of the North, and
begin to take care of themselves" The
fact is, these birds of prey are almost as
much despised at the North as ut the
Sonth. They are ''going under" fast,
and the negroes had better cut their ac-
qnaintance, and go with their own South
ern people. The wheel is turning rapid
ly, and "the right" will soon be on

In view of the speculationS and pre-
