OF DIR. Hanslow, public-spirited citizen
of Copiah, who visited Europe on this
special mission in the interest of his neigh
bors and friends. An interesting letter
from this gentleman, explanatory of his
objects and describing the interest which
he had awakened among the people he
was visiting, was published in THE
CLARION during his sojourn abroad. We
are gratifed to note that he has succeed
ed in bringing over company as above
mentioned, composed of persons employ
ed in household and farm labor.
The occasion is not inappropriate for
few well-meant suggestions to the parties
who have engaged In this enterprise, if
they intend it as the first wave of vast
ocean which they would roll with its de-
post of wealth within our borders.
They should not expect these new-com-
ers to change the diet to which they are
accustomed, and to be satisfied with corn.
bread and mess-pork. They are not used
to these articles of food. They will re-
quire -four bread and greater variety of
other food, if in less quantities. Care
should be taken to provide them with
houses to live in as comfortable as cir
eumstances will permit.
A small crop of cotton and full one
of grain, should be put in for their
cultivation the first year during the
process of acclimation. The hard, inces-
SAINT and prolonged labor of cultivating
cotton is not favorable to the training of
the constitutions of immigrants to the
heat of our sun.
Too much should not be expected the
inst year. In fact, very little should be
expected IF both parties succeed in de-
fraylng expenses within that time, and in
the mean time succeed also in training
body as well as the mind for future
usefulness, great deal will be accom-
plished.
