Sugar Growing in Louisiana.

Advices from the South convex
the gratifying information of the
marked and healthy revival notice
able in the sugar interests of Lou
isiara. The business of sugar grow
ing and manufacture in that and
adjoining States were important and
profitable industries before the war
and 1861 the sugar product of Lou
isiana alone reached a total of 499,-
40 hhds. For the two following
years there are no returns, but in
1864 the product was only about
6,668 hhds. Since that time a
steady though gradual increase has
been maintained. and in 1869 the
product reached a total of $1,000,
and it is expected that the crop of
this year will yield q total of about
100000 hhds. Of sugar and mo-
lasses. Should the same ratio of
increase be maintained, the produc-
ton will, in few years, reach q
total equal to that Of 1861.

PROSPECTUS
OF
The Louisianian.

In the endeavor to establish another
republican journal in New Orleans,
the proprietors of the LoUIsIANIAN,
propose to fill Il necessity which has
been long. and sometimes painfully
felt TO exist. In the transition state
ofoupcople, in their struggling efforts
70 attain that position i'll the Body
Polite which We conceive to be their
due, it is regarded that much infor-
nation, guidance, encouragement,
counsel and reproof have been lost, in
consequence Of the lack of a medium,
through which these deficiencies might
be- supplied. We shall strive to make
the LoCIshNIAY dcsnteratum in these
respects.

White and Black--Their
Mutual Relation.

The mutual relations of the blacl
and white race may be guided te
the benefit of both, thinks the Rich.
mond Wing, by general adoption
of the golden rule-"Do unto 9th.
ers as you would have them do un
to you" We quote:
To educate the negro, not only in
letters, but in habits of thrift,
economy and industry; to instill
into him the desire to possess a
home of his own, and thereby to
attach him to the soil; to bring up
his children in the paths of virtue
and rectitude; to make him realize
that it is his duty to bear the bur-
thens, as well as to enjoy the bene-
fits of the government; to cause
him to feel that be has country to
serve, and that his higest'honor is
"to act well his part" are duties
which the white race owes to itself
as well as to the black; duties which,
if honestly performed will not only
avoid the evils which naturally fol-
low violent revolutions to those un-
for their results, evils
hoped for and intended by our enc
mics, but will bring peace and pros
perity to both races. Born under
The same sun, raised and living to-
yether under the same rule, govern
ed by the same laws, participating
IN the same prosperity, subject to
'he same reverses, the interest of
he two races in Virginia, if not in
lentical, are so interwoven that, so
ong as they live together, whatever
fleets the one must effect the other.

and preparing the. sugar for market
a marked improvement is said to be
noticeable. In 1869 there were 817
sugar houses in operation, of which
a large proportion were manufac-
turing sugar on improved processes
and using improved machinery. The
revival Of these important interests
is an indication of the gradual re-
cuperation of the South from the
disastrous consequences of the war,
and the fact that the yield shows a
large PERCENTAGE of increase from
last year may be accepted as proof
of a disposition on the part of the
planters to make the best possible
use of the limited facilities of capi-
tai and labor now at their COM
mand.
The opinion seems to prevail in |
Louisiana and the adjoining States
OF the lower Mississippi, region that
the culture and manufacture of su-
gar offers an inviting field for North
ern enterprise and capital, and un-
der favorable conditions of social
order and freedom from political
disturbances, We do not know but
that it would be found a promising
field in which enterprising men,
with sufficient capital, could engage
with a fair prospect of large and
continuous profit.

founding Of Garrison University
which is now under the control of 8
regularly and lawfully constituted
board of trustees. A charter will
be obtained at once, under the title
referred to, and measures will be at
once instituted by the Board, to
acquire property upon which to
erect suitable buildings. For the
present tOporary quarters have
been obtained, and the young uni
versity moving forward under the
shadow of the good old honored
name of Garrison, and the over
sight Of an exemplary man, an ac-
tive and energetic President, Will
receive students in all the grades
on the first Monday in September.
With institutions Gke.this at home.
where all the grades of learning are
successfully taught, the necessity
for those to leave the State who de-
sire to obtain an education does
not exist, and we cannot but hope
that they will at once turn their at
tention to this institution. It's doors
will be thrown open wide enough
for all. It's rules will admit both
males and females without regard
to race, color OF creeds. The prin-
ciples of its character are as broad
and as liberal as the Amended Con-
stltution of the Republic, and the
only distinction which will ever be
made by its liberal-minded founders, |
is in carrying out the requirement
of the charter, will be that of supe-
rior merits. That, and that only, |
will be duly recognized. |

ADVANCING.

Let those deny it who may, the
colored people are moving forward
in harmony with every perceptable
element of progress. Of this We
are surrounded with abundant
| evidence undeniable, established
facts. The net balance of nearly
three millions of dollars in the
National Savings Bank, the earn
ings and savings of those almost
exclusively who scarcely more than
ten years ago were deemed goods
and chattels and as such, declared
to possess no rights which white
men were bound to respect, though
silent, speaks with voice heard
the world over, of the industry,
thrift and enterprise of the colored
people, and in no mean terms of
their disposition to economize, ac-
cumulate and build up. Go where
they will, they carry with them the
Bible and Spelling-book, in no in
stance leaving behind them the great
immortal charter of freedom. the
declaration of American Indepen-
dence; and with these toguide them,
they go forward, cultivating the soil
developing its resources, entighten-
ing the minds of their children;
and organizing creditable literary
associations. They erect houses,
purchase farms and pay for them
as others do. Everywhere among
