Crop prospects throughout Louisi-
ana are at present very favorable, the
most of our country exchanges report
ing farm and plantation work well
advanced; the seed cane is good f; the
ground is in excellent condition, and
what is still more important, the freed
men are ready and willing to labor in
the fields to much greater extent
than ut any time since their enamel
patton. Besides this, there is an in
.creasing number of white farm hands
now available, which appears to have
Il very good and vivifying effect upon
the negro field hands.

s. Carpet Baggers.

From forcible editorial i'll the st.
Louis Globe Democrat we make this
excerpt:
Our Northern cities are full Of men
from the South, pioneer minds, who
have turned from the depressed con-
dition of their own districts to make IL
new home under more promising aus
pieces. We believe that only one of
these many welcome additions t" the
resources and developement of the
Northern cities has ever received Il
hint that he was ii carpet Dagger. Ii
any such insnuatiom should be made,
no one would know whether he should
show pity or Indignation for the pref
udice and narrowuess of mind indi-
Gated 10y it. Yet one of the reasons
why Northern people hesitate to try
their fortune in the South is the pros
pect that if they succeed, or attain to
any prominence. they will be placartle0
as carpet baggers and their snccess
will be resented as Il reprOlch tn their
neighbors, who being less shrewd and
energetic, have not prospered ais we'll.
If the Northern settler be il Republic
an-as nearly all the pioneers are in
the Northern States-and if he take
that lively and personal interest III
politics which is not only tho birth
right of every citizen, but the only
safeguard of our political system: he
is certain to be denounced publicly,
and to he ostracized socially.
Unless the citizens of the Southern
States can learn that IL citizen from
Maine or Illinois is just us much II
citizen of the State he moves into as
any one whose ancestors have lived
there for generations, they are volun~
tarily shutting themselves ont from
the intercourse of which they have
must need. The carpet-bagger, as he
il called, has quite as good ii right as
any F. f. V. to all the privileges of
Virginia citizenship, the right to pub
lish his paper, to so into politics, to
attend ward meetings, to run for of
flee, if he is so inclined, aud to work
his way to any position provided for
by law. The Southern objection to
this course, which has found express
sion in the invention of the word car
pet Dagger, has not injured the Yam
kee, who finds it easy enough to keep
out of the Southern States, but it has
injured the Southerners, who need
Yankee capital, Yankee enterprise,
and Yankee experience, yet who offer
such terms as no decent man would
willingly accept. The odious word
would furnish text for whole years
sermons; we will not undertake to
exhaust the matter in single sermon,
but we ask the people of the South to
consider seriously who it is they are
injuring by their frequent use of the
obnoxious word.

your correspondent lately had occasion to
examine into some titles in this township,
and was greatly surprised at finding so many
farmers paying interest. We suppose there
are ~ congressional townships IN the county
OF La Sale, each section containing GAO
acres, and every town paying as much inter-
est as Earl. Upon this basis the farmers and
business men of the county pay S1,2jO,OOO

a debt. Add to this the municipal and other
debts, prIHctpd! and interest, and you see that
