no remedy aud finally, with rude sense
of justice, begin to seize upon the prop
erty Of their employers. Then we have
it announced that the negroes are becom-
ing riotous, are plundering the country,
and making life and property unsafe.
OF course they are partly to blame, but
we never hear their side-always that OF
the defaulting whites.
1t so happens that the outrages in ques-
tion have been going on in the neighbor-
hood of Savannah for the past year or
more. The negroes have even offered
open resistance to the Federal authority,
represented by the Bureau; they have
not merely seiz.d upon property, Do: they
have wsylaid and murdered innocent
men; and they still remain organized
into guerrilla bands for the purpose of
plundering the neighborhood.
We do not blame the negro for acting
in that manner, any more than we blame
the wolf for killing sheep. He is simply
following his instincts in doing so-fol'
lowing them as he dees in Jamaica,
Hayti, and the native continent of his
race. The negro cannot be made to put
on the white mans civilization, and in
that lies the whole trouble between him
and us, and the great crime OF which
Radicalism stands convicted

1t is of course much larger than it is
under the old plan, yet it 10 thought 1t

yield is so much larger. A less amount
Of fencing will have to be done and q
smaller number of teams will be required,
and, what is of more importance to the
farmer just now, a smaller number OF
laborers will be needed. As the negro OF
the South is the best lsborer that can be
obtained for the cultivation of cotton,
and as the number has been greatly les
sened, it becomes necessary that the
amount Of cotton raised per acre be in
creased, in order that the number OF bales
may not fall short Ct what it was in former
years. This cannot be done by the old
plan. Respectfully. SNAP.
1t is very evident that the quantity of
cotton produced may be largely increased
by iransplanting from hot houses, instead
of waiting to the first Of May or later for
a stand. 1t may be also increased BY
manuring and deep plowing, as we'll as
by resortipg to fresh lands. And, as to
oil this, the planter will likely come to
his conclusions safely enough by compar.
ing the cost with the profits. We are
not sure as to the labor saving suggested
by our correspondent. The difficulty
with cotton planters was never that they
could not make cotton enough, but to
pick it. A bottom or fresh and good hill
land field will, one year with another,
make more cotton than the hands abso-
lutely required to work it can possibly
pick out. And two thousand pounds Of
seed cotton can be picked as quickly
from two acres a. it can from one. We
shall say nothing to discourage any plan
ter from improvements. But we think II
would be ss we'll to work all the rich
acres before expending to fertiliss old
land as much as will be required for the
purchase of new. We should rather buy
the rich land and improve that But,
after all, 50 far as cotton raising is con-
eerned, the product will depend on the
capacity of labor for gathering the crop.
The chief test Of the value of laborers on
plantations now is what it used to be
when they were slaves-ths amount Of
cotton they can pick, not the amount
they can make. Double the labor on
plantations. and you double the crop
without change ofsystem of cultivation.
But if you produce two crops, and can
gather but one, what will it profit. The
frst necessity is successful cotton-pick-
ing machine. This would increase the
product more rapidly than any improved
cultivation is likely to do.

No one expects that the limit OF pro-
duction reached in these experiments
will be attained under all circumstances,
or that this limit will be taken ss an
average; yet it shows what may be done
in the culture of this valuable staple on
POOR hill lands, aud it is worth trial.

average per hill, and you have the large

MACON, GA, December 22. 1869.

EDITORS LEDGER: As we hope the war
for the preservation of the Union is over,
we will not horrify your readers with the
recital of the sufferings of the prisoners
who werefncarcerated at the famous An
dersonvilie, although we have seen the
place Add are somewhat familiar with the
treatment received by those Unionists
who thought they would prefer confne-
mens in its "bull-pens F" to honorable ex-
change. We propose in this communi-
cation to write of the improved methods
of cotton culture. In order to make the
culture Of cotton profitable on the hill
lands with free labor it is evident to
every experienced and intelligent farm
er that the old methods of tillage
will have to be abandoned. This
can be most successfully accom-
plished by that mode of culture which
will give the largest yield per acre. BY
increasing the amount raised on each
acre cultivated to twice what the amount
was, you reach the ante-bellum aggre-
gate production, although you may
have ip cultivation only one-half the
number of acres. If the planter can
improve his lands so, he can be able to
realize greater profit, with less labor,
teams, fencing, ETC., from five acres of
iand than ne now does from ssa &c
fifteen. Will not every sane man, from
Virginia to Texas, at once adopt such
means as will secure this result The
farmers of this State are taking the lead
of all others, and by their agricultural
clubs and societies and conventions, are
disseminating useful information to all
planters of the State. The planters one
meets on the cars and the hotels talk
freely with each other, and to strangers,
about these improved methods of cotton,
corn and wheat culture, instead Of spend
ing their time in drinking and other pas
times resorted TO by the rowdies. The
result Of the attempt made in this State
to reach the limit Of production, has been
in the highest degree satisfactory and
encouraging, for such farmers as bless
Dickson, Bancroft and Paullain have,
by their energy and intelligence, been
able to gather from lands that were ct
one time considered worthless, greater
number of pounds of csttou than has
been produced on any of the rich,
nIluyisl lands Of Louisiasa or Texas.
Mr.. Dickson, of Hancock, one Of the
most enterprising and successful planters
of the State, has this year gathered from
Eve hundred acres, one thousand bales
of cotton, Notwithstanding the worms-s

talk of from the rising to the setting of
the sun. Mr.. Bancroft, Of Clarke, from
land that was once so poor the pine,
sassafras and persinmou bushes wo1ld
hardly grow on it, has succeeded in
gathering from sixteen acres. thirty
three bags of cotton, or one thousand
pounds of lint cotton per scre. These
gentlemen prepare their lands well by
subsoiling and the proper use Of fertil-
iEsrs. For this purpose they use turn

is followed BY the subsoiler being run
