LETTER FROM NEW oRLnANs
New ORLEANS, August 30, 1869,

AVE-" Onh6ANS, August ~, lSOS.
Editor Planters Banner.
The publication in your columns of tb
address of the Committee on Emigration
of the German Society of New Orleans, ba
elected so many responses from the citizen
and planter Of the Attakapas and neighbor
ing parishes. that am constrained to tres
pass upon your courtesy in asking permis
sion to avail myself ofyour popular jorna
as medium of communicating with the cor
respondents of the committee.
The committee are pleased with the man,
courteous letters received from gentleman O,
the State. the advice and suggestions therein
contained being pertinent and valuable. and
evidence the interest which the writer's feel
IN the subject of German immigration.
The progress of the committee is necossa-
rily glow; our association being an inde-
pendent private one, receiving aud solicit
ing no assistance except friendly counsel and
the encouragement of those who desire the
development of Southern resources and an
increase in the country's prosperity. 1 can
assure such persons that the Committee on
Emigration are using the utmost diligence in
accnmulating facts and information for the
enlightenment of the German people as to
local requirements and tho advantages to re.
suit from residence in our section.
With this view. am now engaged in the
of lengthy address in the Ger
man language, which will be widely circu
lated among those for whose benefit it is de-
signed. and arrangements are being made to
send out, ut an early day, gentleman of in
telligence and experience to act as the 80.
ciety..s agent in Germany.
The committee have been made the recip- |
ents of communications from Americanlcon-
'als resident at the capitals of various Ger
nan States, wit! the aattering assurance OF
heir support. and many of the newsp paper
9roprietors of that country have transmitted
copies of their journals, containing favorable
upon our association and its
'bject. ....
The sensible planters and master -meohan-
cs of the finest portion of Louisiana cannot
all to perceive the advantage of securing
uch labor as we propose to furnish, aud We
rust they will in every way facilitate our
ndeavors, in order that the benefits prom
sed by this undertaking may be realized at
no earliest possible moment.
With great sepect, |

SAVING SEED CANE.-Mr l.. d. Verret,
of ST. Landry parish, has a new way of saw
ing seed cane by which he claims that he can
always secure sound seed, regardless of tho
season. He also has a mode of cultiystion
which he claims secures a bettor yield than
the old mode, and requires less labor. Mr..
Mcynard, who made the extraordinary crop
last year at Indian Bend, saves cane and cul-
tivates on his plan. We copy the following
from the Opelousas Courier of the 4th inst.
in regard to cane raised by Mr.. Verret, to cut
on the LIST of September:
We have at our office two sugar canes
raised by Mr.. L. ID. Verret, on his place in
Bois MalIet, in this parish One was
planted on the 10th of March, and has nine
teen well developed joints. The other,
planted on the 9Th of April, though larger,
is not so near maturity. These canes are
well advanced for the season, and it is evil
dent that they We're cultivated with great
care. Besides, this is not Mr.. Vsrret's first
attempt.H He cultivated sugar cane in the par
ish of st. Mary for q number of years, and
we rember having published, in 1858, an ar
ticle recommending his peculiar system OF
cultivation.
Mr. Verret will visit st. Mary shortly to
consult with the planters in regard to saving
seed cane, and will give due notice in the
BANNER.

IMMIGEtIIoS 10 oLOUIsIaNA.-ThC st. Louis
Republican has Il leader in which it recon-
mcnds German immigrants to turn their at
tentior to Louisiana. We cordially invite
the Germaos to turn their attention to tho
fertile sugar aud rice lands of this section of
our State. Where can an industrious Ger
man farmer get as uluch money and profits
out of hundred or lifly acres of land, as in
amy of the six parishes west of Bcrwick's Bay:
Where can they find bcttcr health: Not in
Illinois or Missouri
We would he glad 10 see ten thousand Gar.
man families settle in this country in ths
neAt year. They are good farmers and wor.
thy citizens, and VIC do not wish to see them
como merely as the hcwcrs of wood and
drawers OF wafer for other people; we wish
TO see them have iarms of their own as fast
as they can obtain the means TO buy Land and
build houses: and i'll great portion of this
country lands are cheap, aud can be bought
! IN tracts to suit small farmers; or immigrants
| can combine, buy up 4 tract OF one or two
| thousand acres, and divide it in lots to suit
! purchasers.

RAILROADS, ETC.
Our State is one of the most backward i

many years to come out with banners tiyinn
We have several railroads already, and ther
are two others approaching to. completion-
the n, o., y. and Texas roads, and tn
Chattanooga road, and Mobile, n o. ant
Texas roads. There is great competition be
tween these two roads and doubtless botl

Is one of the most valuable, as we'll as one OF
the most beautiful and desirable parts of this
State or the whole South. She has rich swamp
and prairie lands in the greatest abundance

generally prevailing throughout the year.
Inc well water is healthful and cold, though
clsternS and rain water are of course better.
The cotton crop is generally about ten or fif-
teen thousand bales. 1t is thought that if the
worms do not come it will reach eighteen thou
sand bales this year. Sugar is grown in abun-
dance, as also corn, rice, yans, Irish potatoes,
OF which two crops can be made a year.
Beans of all sorts, of which two or three
crops can be made per annum, particularly
OF the navy bean. Nearly all of the fruits
will grow here in abundance and would pay.
Ihe range for cattle and horses is unsurpassed.

Will put up steam rice mill they will be kept
busy and make money too. / understand that
tweluc rice mills have been built since the war,
In this State, but this does not come I'D to the

Is big fortune for some company slumber-
ing IN that direction. The people would sup
ply them with all the cotton needed and then
buy all their goods from the concern Be-
sides our towns and villages would patronize |
them; and then the factory could send any |
surplus to New Orleans or Texas by railroad |

company would save the freight, storage, in

LABORERS.
This class of people are in great demand
here, as elsewhere in the South. Our plan
ters are satisfied that no confidence can be
placed in the hands now in the field. A large
Will doubtless set in from the
land of tea, and probably our parish will get

tinued, l suppose these will do as we'll as any
