White Field Hands.

Messrs. Star & Seward, lately brought
to this State, about thirty Swedes, all
single men, to work on their plantation
above Breaux Bridge, in the parish Of
st. Martin. About half Of them left
them at New Orleans as soon as the
vessel landed on which they came to
the State, and whose passage cost
Messrs. Star e. Seward about $500.
Nearly half of. the Canadian laborers,
single men, left the employment Of the
Attakapas Mail and Transportation
Company, a few weeks since, the Com
pany losing the cost Of bringing them
to the State.
It Is almost useless to bring single
white laborers to Louisiana to work in
cane or cotton fields, or anywhere else.
The competition for labor is so great,
and the competitors, are most of them
so INSCRIPTIONS, that few laborers can
be relied on unless they have families.
Men with families, generally, contract

Working Irish Potatoes.

say three or four inches, run Il "twister,"
or other plow that will throw the earth
over them and entirely cover them up.
This will not injure them, as might be
supposed, but will be an advantage to
them in several ways. First, if they
are very early and liable to have the
tops bit by frost, it will be a protection;
and second, it checks an carly and lux
uriant growth of tops, and causes them
to commence forming tubers earlier.
They will soon grow out again, and
when they are large enough plow them
again, throwing the dirt to them, but
do not cover them this time. This is
all the plowing they will need. Keep
them clear Of weeds and grass, of which
there will not be much after the second
