From all tho city papers comes, up the, cry
of thousands of starving people who have
nothing to do. Want Of employment seems
to be the great want OF the day with the city
people. 1t is said that in New York upwards
of fifty Thousand families are out OF employ
ment and out OF bread. In New Orleans many
thousands are starving for the, want Of work.
are waiting for the Pacific rail
to do. The city journals are continually
firing off long leaders on the subject Of
want of capital, enterprise and busines,
and giving learned dsquistions on the
subject Of trade and finance, and the mode to
get things in shape once more. The Pacific
Railroad is what is. wanted according to
some, and the grain trade according to
others, to give employment to all. Now it is
q singular phenomena that while the cities
are filled with idle people, in the country the
the Attakapas the whole productive powers
of the country are almost paraiyzed for
want OF laborers, and $4,000 people could find
profitable employment in the various branch
10000, IBERIA from 10000 to 5000, Lafayette
10000, st. Martin and st. Mary 10000 labor
ers.
Not that these numbers could all at once
get homes, but in O comparatively short time
they could. With this accession Of popula-
tion these parishes would not be half full nor
be worked to more than half their capacity.
We know OF many men whose farming opera
tons are not nall so extensive as they WISH,
solely from want of laborers. Good homes
and an independent living such as no city
laborer ever knew, are to be had in n short
time in the Attakapas. Is it not certain then
that somebody is out of place. that somebody
has got where they arc not wanted ? Talk
about want Of capital What is capital but
the accumulated fruits Of labor2 These idle la
borers in a few years on the fertile fields of the
Attakapas can create all the capital required.
Don't wait for capital. Go to work and create
it. Vermilion parish last year made less than
pacity @ 70 make 50, ,ooo Rogsheads V and fa plenty
OF provisions and cattle besides. Suppose
now she had the population and made and
shipped 10000 hogsheads of sugar yearly for
sale, with the mOlasses added, and made all
her bread and meat besides, how long would
she be in want of capital2 No, gentlemen,
get out Of the cities where you are not wanted
into the country where you are wanted, and
your fortunes will soon improve.

structions to publish it at once. The latter

CLARENDON HOTEL, Saratoga June IT,
Judge Henry Hilton, care of Messrs. A. T.
Stewart CO., New York:
"Dear Jadge-My family have for many
years patronized the Union Hotel at Saratoga,
but were informed yesterday by your man
ayers that the orders from headquarters are
to exclude all Jewish families from the list of
guests this season, alleging as q reason that
there existed prejudice among the Ameri-
cans against people of that persuasion, which
had injured the Union to that extent last
season seas ., that the 1headsaparters proposed to
exception, that all rooms except garrett cham
berS were engaged.
Now permit me, dear Judge, III your in
terest and in the interest of Mr. Stewards
valuable estate, the lions share of which Won
seem to have acquired to say that you are
adding to the many. serious mistakes you
have made since you inherited that estate, by
refusing admittance to the Union Hotel to II
large class of people, irrespective Of their re-
merely to pander to vulgar prejudice, under
the mistaken notion that by so doing you will
fill the house with other nationalitios. You
will find yourself mistaken.
OH are ID luilgb bl american GHdfHtbNT.
The civilized world is beginning to be more
tolerant in matters OF faith or creed, or
birth, than you believe, or would have them.
They despse intolerance low cunning aud
vulgarity, and will not patronize any who
seeks to ma ke money by pandering to the
preiudiees of the vulgar, regret that you
are running the Union MT q loss.
II regret that you are making no headway
in your wholesale departments in New York
and Chicago and even that the Ninth street
retail store, SO popular and prosperous under
the management of the late Mr.. Stewart, has
lost it's best patrons. A little reflection must
show to you that the serious falling off in
your business is not duo to the patronage of
any one nationality, but to the want Of pa
tronage of all, and that you, dear judge are
not big enough to keep hotel, nor broad
enough in your business views to run % dry
goods store.
"You have tried competition with expert
enced and popular houses in the manufacture
of carpets, of woolens, of silks, and of scores
OF articles OF minor importance, and you have
| succeeded in mono, and you never will, andsl
would respectfully volunteer an advice, for
which / charge you nothing, although you
once charged me 900 for an advice which
was worth nothing, that ii you want to save
the rest of the once valuable estate Of Mr..
Stewart, that you advertise q large auction,
and sell your merchandise and your hotels to
the highest bidder. and no matter at what
sacrifice you get rid of them, you will come
Off better than by holding on to things which
you cannot intelligently manage Trusting
that you will ayf6l yourself OF this friendly
and disinterested advice | remain, dear
