A LETTER From MIssIsslrPI.
Worn Out Lands - The EX.Slave
Holders Refuse to Learn Wisdom
Cotton Growing The Negro
EXOau0.

RIvERToN, MISS, May 3.
EpIroRs REPUBLICAN This was, no
doubt, prior to the war, one OF the best
localities for cotton raising in the
South. 1t had its immense plantations,
rich river bottom lands and rich pro-
prie,ors. A planter with less than one
hundred negroes was doing business on
a small scale. But the rebellion COM
pletely stripped the country, and to-
dav more than one half the land form
erly cultivated is grown up with cotton
wood and sycamore trees, and probably
one third the balance lies out, unculti-
vated for want of labor. The wealthy
aristocrat has either fled the country or
by continued extravagances become as
poor as his own poorest slave. Still he
refuses to work and seems opposed to
the very thing needed, Northern men
and Northern enterprise, as strongly as
he was twenty years ago, when every
Northern man was supposed to be an
enemy, come to entice away some of his
human chattels. They fail to realize
that the war is over and all their slaves
are free men.
The season for planting cotton is now
nearly over, and the cotton is generally
up, and great many are plowing and
"chopping ont" that is thinning. Our
Spring generally opens the first Of Feb
ruary, during which month early corn
ia planted. and it is planted at inter-
walls as the time and ability OF the
planter will permit, until the first OF
: July. Cotton still holds its sway al
king, and commands and receives the
greater attention Of every planter, al
though they are beginning to see the
J folly and unnecessary expense OF de'
, pending upon the North altogether fol
, this indispensable product. They have
