CHINESE LABOR IN THE SOUTH.
Proposed Introduction of Ten Thousand
Chinamen in One Mass.
[From the Memphis ( Tenn.) Appeal of „fuze 2G.]
There is but one solution out of the-difli
culty into which the South has been precipi
tated by the indifference and laziness of the
negro. We must employ Chinese immigrants.
They are quiet,orderly, good-temPered,
cheerful, willing workers; easily controlled,
and so intelligent, as a correspondent
of the Appeal has stated, that they
readil? 'grasp the desires' and designs
of their employers without repe
tition of directions or instructions. They are
thoroughly our fait upon the best and most
careful methods of cultivating rice, cotton and
sugar; and, wherever employed, have been
found to answer every requirement of the
most civilized household or the best managed
farm. They are just the men, these Chinese,
to take the place of the labor made so unre
liable by radical interference and manipula
tion. As to their heathenism, that can be
readily neutralized. We can employ, if 7ne
cessary, Senator BroWnlow as a missionary
among them,who,unless they are impervious to
hell tire, would be able shortly to announce the
destruction of all joss sticks and idols, and
ever so many converts to Christianity. In
this way the Senator's powers of persuasion
atilt his peculiar piety might be utilized, and
an opportunity be afforded him of making res
titution for the unmixed evils he has - indicted
upon his people. But, in any event, we want
the Chinese, and hope there will be a full
meeting of the planters of the surrounding
country on Wednesday next, the result of
which ought to be steps for the introduction';

Work Among the Antericen Artists-v The
Sculptors, Rodgers and 'Rinehart--;
Works Bought by American Petrel's of
Art---Inman's Studio... The Markets of
Rome in June. • •
[Clorreapondenee.of the Phila. Evening Bulletin.)
Roam, June 15.—Some of our. American
artists are remaining in Rome quite late this
season; and are very busy finishing, packing
and sending offtheir commissions. Randolph
-Rodgers will not be away from,Rome all sum
rner, except to join his family Once in awhile
at his villa at Perugia. His numerous orders
will keep:WM closely occupied all the season:
Rodgers is now boxing to send oft the Artillery
Soldier and they statue of the Sailor for the
Soldiers' Monument, at Providence, ilhode
Island; also, another Artillery• Soldier and
Cavalry Soldier for the Soldiers' Monument
at Detroit, Michigan. •
I visited Rinehart'tsstudio the other day,also,
and found his "Antigone:going into marble,
and the sculptor hiMself at work, modelling a
" Clytie." This promiseato be one of the most
graceful and beautiful works of this gifted
sculptor. Clytie is an undraped form, beauti
fully modelled; in her left hand is the emblem
atic sunflower, which, with the pose of the
forth, and the expression of the face, will tell
the story. The face is both sad and resentful,
the form shrinking' and despondent. It is a
lovely work, . and, when completed, will be
worthy of Rinehart's enviable reputation. ,
Rinehart's busts are well known for their'
fidelity as likenesses as well as poeticalbeauty;
also his portrait statues. He' knows how to
. express the rharaCter which dwells within, as
well as that which lives without. He has
made this season statues of two children of
Mr. Mygatt, of New York, which are very
successful; one is holding a_bird's nest, the
other is bending n. btiw. The pose of the lat
ter is charming, and the modelling very fine,
especially the back. I noticed several busts in
Rinehart's _studio of, well known persons;
among them was one of Dr. Lyman, of Balti
more,' who has .lived in Rome for some time
as clergyman of the Episcopal congregation of
the Roman-America i p colony. • '
Beaides monuments and Other work, this
season, Rinehart has made ten portrait busts,
and has ordered of him a monument statue of
Chief Justice Taney.
This last season which has just closed can
not be called a successful one, however, for
art. Some artists were more lucky than
usual, but as a general thing there was very
little done in the studios, and• this seems
stradige, for Rome was crowded .and unusu
ally gay.
There is one fact it may please you to know,
however. Philadelphians appeared to fine
advantage last season in Rome. The hand
somest private dinner ever given in Rome by
Prince, Duke, or Ambassador, was the dinner
Mr. Childs gave to Mr. LongfelloW; and as
far as I can ascertain, Philadelphians have'
ordered the largest amount of art works. I
will mention just a few as they come to my
memory.
Mr. Fell, for example, ordered Mozier's
group of the Prodigal Son—his munificent
gift to the Philadelphia Academy of Fine
Arts ; also, Hazletinels group, Spring Flowers,
and four of Buchanan Read's fine portraits,
one of which was of Longfellow. Besides
these, he ordered landscapes of Welsh, De
Burgh Richards, a bas relief of Simmons, &c.
Mr. Childs ordered two busts orlintletine
and a Longfellow portrait of Read.
Mr. James Abbott, besides buying works by
Italian artists, ordered a bust of Hazletine and
two portraits of Read.
Mr. A. D. Jessup's interest in Art matters,
too, was felt in several studios. He ordered
Landscapes ;of Montalant, four portraits and
two fancy pictures of Buchanan Read, &c.
Mr. Michael Weaver, of your city, ordered
also busts and statues . of Hazletine.
The same day I was at Rinehart's I visited
also Inman's charming studio, which is more
like a boudoir than anything else. Besides his
own paintings he has majolica and bronzes,
Venetian carved furniture and old pictures,
books, music and a:piano. He showed me
several studies, some fromeithe picturesque
Villa d'Este at Tivoli, and three or four flower
pieces; one of these last is quite original; it is
called the "Rendezvous." There is a bit of a
tree,with the sunlight shimmering over it, and
at its trunk is Csembled a perfect little crowd
of brilliant flowers. "The Model Resting" is
another charming little picture. It gives a
oriier of Inman's studio,and one of the pretty
toman models is leaning againSt :Ismail carved
Venetian table,teazing a cat with her knitting.
Coleman is at Perugia painting a picture
which is to be an interior taken from one of
the chapels, for Mr. Harriman, of New York.
Mr. Herriman, by the way, is said to have the
finest private collection in Rome, and most of
his pictures are by modern painters,American
and French; he owns that curious, powerful,
and yet repulsive picture, "tEdipits and the
Sphynx," by Gustav Moreau.
The markets are delightful. Strawberries
are still good; raspberries are very rich and
large, and I never saw such cherries; apricots,
too, are delicious. An Italian-American break
fast is worth eating. Take this morning's as au
average one--little cotelettes ap mouton, rasp
berries, cherries' and apricots, junkett, hot
Indian pone and tea. .
The strawberries are now twelve cents a
pound; raspberries ten rents; cherries four
cents; apricots ten cents. Fruit is sold by the
pound. Figs will soon be on the table; then,
when that luscious fruit appears, summer is
fairly upon us.
The weather is delightful,' Cool mornings
and evenings, and the city is'perfectly healthy
so far. Charming weather 'for galleries and
sight-seeing and excursions.

EUROPEAN AFFAIRS.
FRANCE.
The True Cause of the Paris Riots.—liew
• Will Napoleon Fly when, his Time
(Timms? •
A , Paris correspondent of the Pall Mall
• GazOte writes as follows :
Cu the present occasion there was no ill
temper. The mass of the rioters were mis-,
chievous boys, many of whom it is supposed
• ere paid to make a noise and break window's:
ehostile parties accuse the Goyernment of
having got up this little rebellion to show its
strength cheaply; to fuinish it with an excuse
for throwing into prison a dozen Radical news
paper writers and others,and for keeping a
tight hand on the press and on public meetings
for some time. It wished to show France
what might come of letting k Paris have its
own way, and how luc , she was to
haVe a strong government. T e government,
on the other hand, accuses, with sinnewhat
mote appearance of reason, a central Demo
cratic committee of having furnished the funds
forthis attempt at rebellion. Two very suspi
cions circumstances remain to .be accounted
for; one is that a good deal of money has been
found on some of the rioters, who cannot ex
plain how it came into their possession; the
other is that the few workmen who took a
•
prominent part in the disturbances were al
most without exception dressed in new spot
less white blouses, which had evidently seen
no Work, and which served as a kind of uni
form. The trial is' not likely to tell us much,
and the secret, if there be one, will probably
be well kept; but the line of conduct the gov
ernment will follow will go far to dispel or
confirm suspicion as far as it is concerned.
If the Emperor adopts liberal measures, the
government will evidently stand acquitted of
all: onnivance; if he inclines towards reaction,
the impression will remain on many minds
that the police has sought to create an appear
mice of danger in order to justify repression in
the eyes of the timid masses which form the
bulk of the nation. lam myself quite inclined
to acquit the government.
1 was rather amused•yesterday in reading an
article in Saturday's Times on our affairs to see
'that the writer fancies that " both friends and
enemies are convinced that the Emperor Na
poleon will never let himself be hustled or
frightened out of Paris.", I wonder hoW the
Times knows this; and still more, why any
body should be convinced that Napoleon 111.
will resist when his day comes better than his
predecessors did? The bold front which a
man shows when he is borne on by success is
no index of what his countenance will be when
thetide of fortune turns and all seem to forsake
him When Prince Louis Napoleon failed at
Strihourg, and more especially at Boulogne,
he showed no firmness whatever; in fact, at
Boulogne he was as little heroic as can well
be conceived. The other day he drove along
the boulevards, it is true, and was well re
ceived on account of his bravery in so doing.
But wliat if he had been hissed or hooted? : ,
Who can saYhow he would have carried him.'
self then? Did not Louis Philippe, too, drive;
abont Paris with a calm countenance after
more than a dozen assassins had in turn
attempted his life? And yet when
Revolution knocked at the, great gate of the
Tuileries, ho slunk out at the back door in dis
guise, plain Mr. Smith, in the queer wig and
the shabby pea-jacket. How often had we
heard that be would not fall as the elder
Bourbons fell; that those brave sons of his
would rally round the throne and fight for
their inheritance! Again, before him, had
not Charles X. vowed repeatedly that he
would not submit to violence, as Louis XVI.
had done, and had lie not declared that it was
-better far to mount on horseback and fight
than to ascend the cart that conveys kings to
the scaffold?
The truth is that only those who have wit
nessed such scenes can have any notion of the
confusion which reigns in a place when once
Royalty is seriously threatened. The breath
less messengers treading on each other's heels,
the impossibility of knowing the real truth,
the advice of timid or perfidious counsellors,
urging abdication as a last resource to pre
. serve the throne for an infant heir, and. then
flight as the only means of placing that heir in
satety,thesupplications of scared courtiers im
patient to befree in order to provide for their
owu safety; who can describe the effect of all
this pleading when the roar of the populace
outside—each instant nearer and louder—adds
its powerful argument?
Napoleon's Exile.
The twenty-ninth volume of the correspond
ence of Napoleon I. is preceded by a letter to
the Emperor from Prince Napoleon, the fol
lowing being a Portion of it:
Few critics have attacked what was written
at St. Helena, but many, the man himself; and
in their remarks they have bliuned the author
much more than the work t and have repeated
that Napoleon had wished to place a
mask before history, and to repre
sent himself in a false light. * *
"What consequence is it to history even if the
words from that island should not have been
always in conformity with the acts of Napo
leon I.? The instruction to be drawn from
the study of :those extraordinary men who I
appear in the world at distant intervals should
come not only from what they have done,
but
from what they, desired to do, from what they
have explained; said, and written, especially
when misfortune, falling on the man, has made
him in some sort survive himself, and become
a portion of posterity. Napoleon, disengaged
from everything, and in the eud freed from all
terrestrial interest, his eyes fixed onthe future
during the six years of his martyrdom, gives
counsels to those who might succeed him, to
his country, to tile populations. From a sus
tained and continuous reading, it results as
clearly as possible that the thought of Napo
leon at St. Helena wall one of
_emancipation
for litun_anity, ofiDemocratic_p_rogress ' of ap,
Rplication of the g*at principles of the French
evolution. As the last rays, of the sun
setting behind theimmensity of the ocean illu
minate the sky, sothe idea of Napoleon sheds
light upon the futare! His belief, his final
counsels, were directed towards the emanci
pation of peoples and their liberty.

Partial Reports From New England and
the Middle States—The Prospects Good.
THE NEW ENGLAND, STATES..
Crops have been generally backward in the
New England States,_ but the weather of the
past two weeks has been so exceedingly good
that prospects are materially changed for the
better. 'l'he hay crop is the most profitable
.E
relied in New.ngland-4n value equalling
that of the cotton crop of the South. The
reports for the past two weeks represented it
as being below the average in the prospect.
i
But we nfer that the 'heavy rains ot the past
few daysi, will tend to dissipate all fears, and
that the crop will be fully up to the average of
former years. More than, the usual acreage
has been planted this year in the State of
Maine. Corn is coming up well and looks
healthy. The apple crop, from present in
dications, will be, excellent. A correspondent.
who has traveled extensively through three.
of the New England States during the past
ten days, states, however, that fruit is gene
rally scarce.
THE MIDDLE STATES.
Accounts from the. Middle States generally
show that the harvest of the fruits and vege
tables is remarkably plentiful, and this is wha;
would naturally be expected from the heavy.
rains of this spring and summer in these States
In Western New York peaches are heavie •
than has been known fOr many years. There
has been less of the curled leaf this season than
usual and in consequence the fruit did not
drop, as it always does when the leaves curl.
Young dwarf pear trees are more liable to
overbear than most other fruit, and the
result is not only inferior fruit, but either the
death of the tree or great injury, to it. At
the present time a fungus is coining upon .
many-varieties of the pear, causing them to
grow knotty and almost or quite . worthless.-
The prospects for apples are not very. good.'
The frosts inamany, portions of the State in
jured the crop materially.
' The New Jersey fruit crop promises a fine
yield. Peaches will be plenty. Plums are not
now much cultivated in,,N . ew Jersey, at least
for market. Neither are pears cultivated to
any great extent; as'a marketcrop, Thdtrees,
however, look well and give promise of a good
yield of good fruit. Grapes, where the vines
have been properly cared for, seem in very
fine condition, and a large yield is anticipated.
As to apples, the reports are conflicting. The
treeswere generally well covered with bloom,
buta cold northeaststorm at the time when the
bloom was at its height *blasted many of the
blossoms, and in some orchards there is a very
poor show; others look better, but on the
whole the crop will probably be light. So far
the fruit trees have escaped from the worm
pest that so often destroys them. Grass will
give a tolerably good yield, although in some
districts' it is rather "patchy." There was
little snow last winter, and on some land the
frost was quite injurious to the grass
as well as the winter grain; a portion was
winter killed, and on clay lands the freezing
and thawing did some damage, • but
the weather of April and May was very
favorable to theSe crops, and the yield of hay
will be ftilly equal to the average. Wheat suf
fered somewhat from the same causes, but ,
there is a good stand and farmers generally
(and they are not given to be over sanguine)
expect good crops. So far we have heard of
no damage to the growing wheat from any
cause. Oats also look well so far. Indeed, the•
whole season has so far been unusually favor--:,
able to the growth of grass and the small
grains. Delaware has already given us a large
crop of the small fruits, and will probably do
as'well if not better with the later varieties.
Maryland is in the midst of her wheat har
vest. The crop is generally very fine. A cor
respondent, writing from Talbot county, says:
On Friday we took a ride through a good por
tion of Trappe district. Of the many crops
we inspected we did not see a: real indifferent
field of wheat, and the grain is splendid. Parts
of some fields had been injured, either by the•
fly or by indifferent drainage, but most of the
fields were fine, and on Some ,
the crop of wheat was extremely
heavy. Another correspondent writes.
from Frederick:.During the past week we
have heard_considerable-complaint among far
mers in regard to the appearance of weevil in
the wheat. To what extent it has been dis
covered we are unable to say, although we are
aware of some instances in this immediate vi
cinity where it has.donecomiderable damage.
The prospect for a large crop has never been'
better. The yield of berries and cherries in
Maryland has been enormous, and farmers
have realized handsome prices. Peaches also
promise finely.
The wheat crop of Pennsylvania is very
large. Corn promises well, and other crops
appear to be in the best possible condition for
an abundant yield.
West Virginia advices of last week state
that the prospect of a good wheat harvest con
tinues to be favorable. The wheat is very
heavy °lithe ground, and appears to be filling
well; there is some little talk about rust, but
very little about that great pest of the wheat
field, the midge. It is not sate from all danger
till the bread 'is caro of the oven; but there is an
excellent prospect now of a first-rate harvest.
Other small grains, as well as wheat, are
doing very well, and some wheat is nearly fit
to cut. The unusual amount of wet has kept
back the corn, which is not very forward.
'With seasonable weather, however, there is
.
nothing to p i
revent t from catching up. Po
tatoes are fiburishing. The hay crop will not
be a very good pile, either as regards quantity
or quality, though it has been a very favorable
',lsea.son for clover:\ Timothy meadows are said
to be doing very Well.
The Cause of Henry J. Raymond's Death.
Commenting on Rev. Henry Wardßeecher's
and other people's opinions that Mr. Raymond
died of overwork, the New York Post says:
"Mr. Beecher was mistaken. Mr. Raymond
was a hard worker, but he liked work; it
agreed with him, and he did not die of it.
Few people do. Men die of worry; they perish
because they cannot master their work; be
canse they lack capacity to accomplish what
they had undertaken; students injure them
selves by mistakes in living; some hard work
ers perish through excesses; but very few are
hurt by mere hard work.
"Mr. Raymond worked easily he was always •
fresh;_he_knew. how to live;-took good-care-of
himself, and had a sound constitution. It is
hardly fair that he should lie under the re
proae'h-pf having misused himself. Nor is it
useful to encourage the notion that hard work
is dangerous. It is a plea which idle and lazy
people will be too ready to avail themselves of.
"We have heard from a personal friend and
associate of Mr. Raymond that his; death wai
caused by.= injury.he received hist winter in
Washington; - - =He stood Qua chair to light the
gas in a chandelier; his foot slipped, and hp
fell so that his head struck against the corner
of a table. The bruise was'. very .painful and
he suflered from severe headaches afterwards;
and we are told that physicians after his death
discovered that his - brain had been seriously
injured, and that death was probably 'caused
by the breaking-ofa blood vessel, occasioned
by his stooping ; to push down. the lower bolt iu ,
lua hOpse door:, •
"Few men die of overwork. It is a cause
to 'which disease mid death are often ascribed
