1.-THE Planters Monthly

The Planters Monthly for February is at
hand, and, like the previous numbers, c0n-
tains much of interest.
A report is given of the last meeting Of
the Trus tees, and we notice that it is stated
that IN reply to the circular letter sent to
planters in regard to Portuguese cooperative
labor, only four written replies were re-
ceived, and only one of these were in faver
of the project. This is much smaller
result than might have been expected. Still,
it is to be hoped that the planter who ex-
presses himself willing to take twenty-five
of the Portuguese on favorable terms, will
find the experiment so successful as to in
duce others to come forward and take more.
Mr.. Joseph Marsden, who is visiting the
New Orleans Exhibition, is announced as
