White Laborers From the North
West.

We learn from the Bee Of the 18th
inst, that one hundred and sixty men
passed through New Orleans from Hi
nois, a few days previous, by the Jack
son Railroad, en- route to the parish of
St. Mary. They were destined for the
plantations of Messrs. Brownson q
Thompson, Walker & Brownson, j.. b.
Lyons & Co., and Graveuburg & Co.,
on bayou Teche. They came under
contract with the above. planters, to
assist as laborers in taking off their
crops, and will probably remain in the
country permanently, as no doubt sutii~
cient inducements will be offered to them
to do so. By arrangement with the
Illinois Central Railroad, they were
brought through to New Orleans at the
reduced fare of eighteen and a halt
dollars each.
Our sugar planters particularly, will
do we'll to profit by this hint, for the
next season. Should the colored labor
of the country be insufficient, as it
probably will be for the requirements of
next year, contracts made in time will
secure available and reliable white labor,
and at the same time, bring into the
country a population which will mate
rally aid in unfolding its resources.
This question of labor is one whicl will
assume new Importance each succeed
ing year, for Two reasons: first, colored
men are gradually buying small places
of their own, and secondly, immigrants
are daily planting homes in our parish
We have no objection to a lew Chinese
but we prefer the vigorous. stalwart'
American laborers from tie Northwest
who will bring with them the seeds Of
a hardy, industrious and entefprlsins
population for the future. Planters
who will bring them to the parish, will
not only help themselves but do a posi-
tive good to the country. Unlike Eu'
ropean or Asiatic laborers. they will
have no new language to learn, and will
readily assimilate with our people,

Destruction OF the State Sesnina~
ny by Fire.

The following account of the drstruc-
ton by fire of the State Seminary at
Alexandria is from an Extra of the
Louisiana Democrat of the 18th inst.
1t is difficult to imagine that this was
the work of an i%ncendiary. We can
not conceive of any sufficient motive for
such a deed. The Seminary was some
distance from Alexandria, and the
conAagration could not have furnished
an opportunity to steal, or to commit a
felony there or elsewhere. But be this
as it may, the Seminary, which was
becoming more every day the pride of
Louisiana, has been destroyed, and we
fear it will be many a day before it will
be rebuilt. 1t is a calamity to the State,
and a loss to the cause of education,
which will not be easily repaired. The
Extra of the Louisiana Democrat Days:
We are panied to that the
magnificent main building of the Louis
lana State Seminary was destroyed by
fire last night.
At about 2 o'clock A. NJ. the fire was
discovered in the Commissary Depart
meut, under the kitchen, and had advanc-
ed SO far that it was impossible to eStln-
guish it. All the force at hand, profess
sors, cadets and employees, set to work
to exit .guish the flames, but the scarcity
of water and the rapid,ty with which the
the fire spread soon showed that their
labors were invain. They then directed
their attention to saving the furniture.
and succeeded in saving the library,
philosophical apparatus and most OF the
other furniture.
The fire was at its height at o'clock,
when the west half fell in with a trench
dous crash. The scene, lighting up the
dark primeval forest in which the build
ing was located, is described by an eye
witness as awfully grand and sublime.
When u informant left, at Z O'Clock,
but a small portion Of the walls was
standing.
All the commissary stores were con-
sumed, and but little shelter can be
afforded the cadets in the other build
ings. The Mayor has issued his pro-
clamation appointing a committee to
make arrangements for their accommo-
dation until the officers of the institu-
ton can determine on some course to
pursue. We hope our people will res
pond literally to this call.
The loss of this splendid building is a
great calamity to the State, and particu-
larly to the parish of Rapides, in which
it was located. It cost nearly $4,000
and there was not a cent Of insurance
on it '.
AS the fire originated where fire was
never permitted, the conaagration is
generally believed to have been the
work of an incendiary. Every effort
should be made to ferret out the author
of the diabolical deed.
P, S.-The committee have made
arrangements to have the whole corps OF
cadets accommodated at tie Lee House
Hotel at once. Too much praise cannot
be accorded them for the promptness
with which they have acted in this
distressing emergency.
