SATURDAY, JANUARY 26, 1861
Nana Sahib.
Nana Sahib, whose atrocities upon unof
fending and defenceless women and children,
at Lncknow and Cawnpore, have given him a
dreadful notoriety—Nana Sahib, the life and
soul of the great Indian revolt of 1757-8
Nana Sahib, upon whose head was laid the
ransom of a province—Nana Sahib, a brute
an rascal whom every person said, and be
loved, and hoped was dead, has turned up
again. The fact is as unexpected as it is as
sured. We may depend upon it that the rub.
flan will not rest satisfied with inactivity. ito
is easy only in uneasiness; ho hot rest
content, even with full, security, of life, in an
inactivity which would leave the hated Eng
lish unmolested.
The Intelligence cornea froM Calcutta.. Ile
has about four thousand followers, Whom he
has encamped on Thibet, Just beyond the Ne
paul frontier, Where rung Bahadoor can claim
no supremacy, and dare not make any demon
stration. Nana has plenty of money, and be
ing able to support himself and followers with
out committing any depredatiOns upon the
villages, is not only tolerated, but cherished,
and the inhabitants haire aided him, very effec
tively until now, in his attempt to conceal the
fact of his existence from the British autho
rities.
The belief in his death, positively asserted
by the members of the Oude Commission, has
long prevailed. Yet hero is the scoundrel up
again—it is a new case of , c Monsieur Tonson
come again." For his desire to shako off, all
subjection to British rule, we do not, cannot
blame Nana Sahib. Our condemnation of him
is for his brutal treatment, even to tho death,
of the wives, and sisters, and young families of
the British, who fell into his hands.
How, np to this time did the Nana so hum
bug and, hoodwihk the British authorities--
even the people of India, many of them his
own former friends and satellitee—into a be
lief of his death Jung Bahadoor, who is
faithful to the British, firmly believed that the
Nana hid perished. But he is found to be
alive and prosperous, after having circum
vented a whole people and an entire ma
gistracy, allot* whom were more or loss in
terested in ascertaining the truth.
The Oude Commission at Lucknow received
certain evidence at the beginning of last year,
which satisfied them that Nana Sahib, Bala
Rao, and Azi lifooleah had miserably perished
in the jangles. This evidence, as brought to
Lueknow, by Khan Bahadoor Khan and
others, was extremely circumstantial.
To gratify the curious, we shall here give it.
When, in November. and December, 1858, a
British force wider Colonel Holditch advanced,
with the perthission of Jung Bahadoor, to
wards the Nepaulese frontier, that eminent
Minister, foreseeing all the credit which must
result from doing that himself which otherwise
we should have accomplished without him,
suddenly gave evidence that he was going to
support ties British in real earnest. The no.
tic° of his intentions was conveyed to the
rebels, then divided, into two bodies, and ac
knowledging two distinct authorities. Ono of
these, with whom Khan Bahadoor Khan, Mum
moo Khan, and other Mahornedan chieftains
of Oude and Rohliciind Were connected,
acted. up to the dictates of their creed,
and, wearied with a hopeless resistance,
accepted a fate which appeared to them
to bo sooner or later inevitable. The Nana
and his party, on the other hand, resolved
to have one more stroke for life, and possi
bly, under more favorable auspices, for power.
They moved northwards into the hills, and
marched fifteen days directly onwards with
out halting. Before doing this, each of the
Olden cut oft the little finger of his right
hand, and caused funeral obsequies to be par
r formed our it. This was done with the fel
leit ceremony accorded to a corpse. The
finger web' burnt, the usual signs of mourning
were made, and it appeared to all, not in the
secret, that it was actually the Chief who was
thus disposed of. The rumor of this occur
rence speedily spread, and was everywhere
believed. How could it bo otherwise, when
some wore able to assert that they were actu
ally present at the obsequies 1 Under cover
of this ruse, the Nana and his party moved
into the hills. After marching fifteen days,
they came upon the mountains which separate
Nepaul from Thlbet. They moved beyond
these to a little town called Theowaria, where,
at the time of the escape of the informant,
I August 1860, they were yet encamped. Mean
while, Nana's death was taken for granted.
His fellow-rebels, and all who had opportunity
of inquiring into the matter, believed that he
had died of fever in the jungles. His former
retainers of Bithoor believed it, and two of his
wives, left behind in Hindostan, showed their
faith in the rumor by performing that religious
ceremony which constitutes them irrevocably
widows. Yet, all this time, the Nana, Bala
Rao his brother, Deoi Bubb, his commander
in -chief, were alive, and at the head of an
army of some thousands of men, with ele
phants In abundance, and some thirty field
pieces.
Lord Canning, the Viceroy of India, is
greatly annoyed at the prospect of another
brush with Nana Sahlb—especially as there is
great discontent in India, on account of the
Income Tax, a new and onerous burthen upon
a race already ground to the dust by heavy
imports. Lord Canning's determination, after
consultation with his Council, was not to make
any active• interference, but to keep a sharp
look-out upon the frontier on which a descent
from Thibot would appear most probable and
feasible. Sir Hugh Nose, well known as 'a
sagacious and gallant officer, has been de
spatched, to Goruckpore, the frontier station
of the British, in the direction of the Nepau
lese and Thibet hills. There he will be able
to speak with that follower of the Nana'e who
escaped to tell the story of his still being
alive. There, too, he can examine the lo
cality and ascertain what facilities the country
affords for the invasion of Nana Sahib, should
he be so minded. With four thousand to five
thousand men, thirty pieces of artillery, and
the terrible prestige of his name, Nana Sahib
might be able to make suchostile demonstra
tions as would again raise an insurrection in
India.
The Calcutta Englishman discredits the
story of the Nana'sboingyet alive, and affirms
that he certainly died, in August,lBsB, on the
hills immediately below Nepaul, after twenty
seven days' suffering from the jungle fever.
It is a fact, however, that Lord Canning bad
sent Sir Hugh Rose to Nepaul, to take mea
sures against an invasion from Thibet, which
shows his Lordship's conviction that Nana
was alive and likely to be mischievous.

OttARLESTON 3 S. 0., Jan. 22, 1801.
Matters remain very quiet here, but there
is a storm gathering, and N4i3 Cannot tell how
soon it may scatter desolation around: It
was reported yesterday, thongh I think with
out truth, that Major Anderson had returned
the provisions sent him by Governor Pickens.
The fact is, that he is supplied daily by the
State authorities.
There are now some hundreds in this com
munity Who believe Major Anderson acted
under General Scott's orders in vacating Fort
Moultrie, and that, as he has been left without
reinforcement, be will, upon the first signal of
attack, spare unnecessary bloodshed, and de
liver up Fort Sumpter to the State. This
opinion has certainly gained. ground within
the last twenty-four hours, and has been the
means of putting a stop to the reproaches
hitherto heaped upon the head of the Governor
for his supposed timid and vacillating policy.
The attack upon Fort SumPter will not,
however, bo much longer delayed—not,'l
lieve, one hour after the preparations now go
ing on are complete. I beard a Sonator,•yos
torday, say in regard to Col. Haynes mission,
that any man was a fool who ; expected any
good result therefrom ; that the only object to
bb attained by his presence in Washington
was delay; that if, through his presence there,
they could keep the President from using co
ercive measures for a few days longer, they
would have so surrounded Fort Sumpter as to
render its capture an easy task.' From in
formation upon which you may most certainly
rely, I warn you not to be surprised if at any
moment you receive telegraphic information
that Fort Sumpter is in the hands of the
rebels.
It would be a good thing for the interests
of the Border States if they could have occu
pied my position (hiring the past week. It
would enable them to decide for the Union
and for the Constitution. It would have led
them to seek that redress for 'grievances within
the Union, which they can never got out of It.
It has been my pleasure to hear the principal
politicians discussing the basis upon which the
new confederation is to rest, and I find that
communications on that subject are daily re
ceived at headquarters here, from each of the
Cotton States, and from them alone. Let not
the conservatives of Kentucky, MiSsouri, and
Tennessee presume for ono moment that they
are to have the Privilege of proposing any of
the laws for; the new regime which is to govern
them. "If they behave themselves" they
will bo accepted (as will 'Virginia, Maryland,
and North Carolina) as additions to the new
Confederation; but not till after the Constitu
tion is framed. I can assure you that an un
derstanding has been come to by the loaders
of the Secession movement, through all the
Cotton States, that they will rather Cc go it
alone " than deviate one iota from the pro
gramme laid down. That document is so
framed as to secure the interests of the Cotton
States, and of them alone.
The principle of free trade is to be embo
died in the Constitution, and so important and
necessary is it considered to secure the
friendship of European Powers, that neither
the interests of Virginia or Kentucky will in.
duce them to sanction a tariff, in any shape,
either for the•pnrposes of protection or reve
nue.
A good deal has been said in some of the
Northern journals of the distress existing in
'Charleston. I certainly think that the people
of Philadelphia who may have charity to be.
stow may find worthy objeets for it at their
own doors. Trade is certainly at a dead
stand, and if the present state of things exists
long, bankruptcy will assuredly terminate the
commercial, if not the political existence of
the city of Charleston. Still, up to this pre.
sent, people have eaten and drank much the
same as usual, and I have not seen one object
of distress upon the streets. Coal appears to
be the only article for which an unusual price
is asked, but although a little wet and dreary
to-day, the wuatber is too mild to render that
article absolutely necessary.
I cannot close without assuring you that
your correspondent is now alone in his glory.
Mr. Dodge, a partner in a mercantile firm on
King street, was yesterday discovered to bo
the long-looked-for reporter of the New York
Tribune. No violence was attempted on his
person. He was notified to quit the city in
two hours, and he accordingly left for the
North. Mr. Dodge was himself a very promi
nent member of' the Vigilance Committee.
This fact will show you what the state of so
ciety is here. VINDEX.
What Should have been Done.
(For The Prem.]
Ma. EDITOR. :—lt was my fortune, good or bad,
to be mixed up in the attempt at Rebellion in Ire
land, in 1848. At that time Lord John Russell
was Prime Ministei of the-United Kingdom, and
the Earl of Clarendon was Lord Lieutenant of Ire
land. The first thing done by those Minlstera, on
finding that an Insurrection was threatened, was
to send reinforcements of men, arms, ammunition,
and provisions to all the forte which were likely
to be mailed by us Rebels.
We had intended to make a dash at Ilawlbow
lino and Spike Island, in the Cove of Cork, (which
my sycophantic countrymen now sail Queen'etown),
but, when we came to count the cost and examine
the cane, it turned out that the government had
quietly reinforced the garrisons in these forte, and
thee ohookmated us. If Russell and Clarendon
bad neglected this precautionary duty, and there
by given us Rebels a chance of capturing these
forts, which command Cork Harbor, they would
have become liable to bo impeached, for Treason,
by the House of Commons, and tried by the noose
of Lords, as Warren Hastings and Lord Melville
were. Moreover, if, in consequence of this ne
glect of duty, the Rebels had actually attacked
and captured liarvlbowline and Spike Island,
Lords John Russell and Clarendon would have
been oorivieted of High Treason, and loSt Heir
heads on the block—as surely as I have saved
Mine by flying for safety to this country.
Make the application of these facts to the pre
sent situation of affairs. Major Anderson, with a
handful of men, holds Fort Sumpter, in tho teeth
of an expected attack by Charleston. What has
Mr. Buchanan done? He has done nothtng, and
if Major Anderson be beaten at Fort Sumpter,
Barely it will be bearings Mr. Buchanan, though
acquainted with his critical position for weeks
past, has not strengthened him by the necessary
reinforcomente and supplies. Such "masterly in
activity" is equivalent to Treason, at times
Had Mr. Buchanan, or people like him, bean at
the head of British affairs in 1848, the Irish Rebel
lion would have been a success, as Surely as it was
a failure Our antagonism to British rule would
have been left unnoticed, until it would have
taken an army to check what a corporal's guard
could have put down at first. To this hour, the
President has not helped that brave and honest
soldier who still keeps the stare and stripes float
ing from the flag-staff of Fort Sumpter.

A gentleman well known in the Church, in
a conversAtion with the writer of this para
graph, some months ago, presuming that the
latter bad peculiar facilities for hearing'crift
cally ministers of various denominations, in
quired, What we believed to be the chief de
fect in the pulpits of the day? Our reply
was, " Too much preaching, and too little
teaching." Further observation has con
firmed us in this opinion. The under
shepherds," instead el feeding their flocks by
instructing them in the great principles of the
Gospel, and systematically establishing them
in' the faith, devote theniSolves almost exclu
sively to writing fine sermons and establish
ing a reputation for eloquence and scholar
ship, and winding up with a stereotyped ef
fort to "fish babes into the kingdom."
Evangelizing efforts are, of course, not to be
despised, but when fifty-two Sundays in the
year are wholly devoted to preaching twice
that number of sermons upon some little text
of Scripture, which is more frequently a dis
jointed motto, than the corner-stone of the
discourse, the object of the ministry is palpa
bly perverted front its true design. ‘, Feed
my lambs" was the thrice-repeated injunc.
tiou to Peter from his Lord. Expository dis
courses alone are calculated to instruct. Mere
moralizing declamation may excite the feelings
and produce a temporary impression, but
the ,sanctifying power of the truth can only
be applied through the medium of the under.
standing. The formation of congregational
Bible classes, which are becoming snore nu.
merous, is a step in the right direction.
Ministers who have hit upon this method boar
testimony to its double usefulness; it compels
in the teacher a more profound study of his
Bible, while it gives intelligent unity to those
instructed.
We have been led to these remarks at this
time by a recent suggestion of Mr. Beecher,
the distinguished pastor of the Plymouth
Church, Brooklyn, who, whatever may be said
against his political diatribes, does say some
things that may be heeded with profit; we al.
ludo to the following remarks of that gentle-
man, which we find in the Now York Chroni
cle
"Last Sunday evening, in announcing the form
ation of a new Bible olaso in his church, the Rev.
H. W. Beecher took. occasion to state his views on
the subjecit of preaching, which, notwithstanding
his contrary practice for fifteen years, he said he
held with strong conviction. Ile thought that there
was too mush preaching, that one sermon a Sunday
was enough ; that the remainder of the time could
be more profitably occupied than in listening to ser
mons. He thought that if one of the services was
devoted to a familiar exposition of the Bible and
Biblical texts, the advantage to the oburoh would
bo mush greater than under the present praeloo.
Let the whole church be organized into one Bible
slam, to be instructed in a familiar and simple
way by the pastor, say of a Sunday afternoon.
'Mono professing such an excellent creed, Mr.
Booster dl.i not propose to change his inconsistent
practise."
Are there not some in the ministry who will
add to Mr. Beecher's sagacity the indepen
dence of putting his suggestion into practice?
TILE EDITOR Or THE CHRISTIAN CHRONICLE OR
DAINED TO THE MINISTRY.
Mr. James S. Dickerson, under whose edi
torship the Christian Chronicle—the organ of
the Baptist Church in this city—has become
ono of our most readable weeklies, was, on
last Tuesday evening, admitted to the ministry
In that denomination. At a previous meeting
of Baptist clergymen, called with reference to
thin ordination, Mr. Dickerson was the subject
of an entirely satisfactory examination as to
his prerequisites for the step lie was about to
take. The ordination, on Tuesday evening,
was conducted in 1. leventh Baptist Church,
Twelfth street, above Race. The sermon on
the occasion was preached by the Rev. J.
Wheaton Smith, and the prayer of ordination
was offered by the Rev. Mr. Winston. Rev.
J. IL Cuthbert and Rev. Dr. Kennard also
took part in the "laying on of hands."
The charge to the candidate was given by
the Rev. R. Jeffrey, and the hand of fellowship
was extended to Mr. Dickerson by his pastor,
the Rev. J. Hyatt Smith, who, as he cordially
welcomed him, pressed upon him the duty of
bearing the cross if he would win the crown.
Tho Rev. Mr. McKean and the Rev. Dr.
Brantley also took part in the exercises of the
evening, which were closed with a benediction,
pronounced by the newly-made minister. We
understand that Mr. Dickerson has received
and accepted a call to the Second Baptist
Church, Wilmington, Delaware. Ile.wfll, ne
vertheless, •continue his connection wills the
Chronicle, as heretofore.
CArnotio rAtn.—At is Catholic fair just
closed in St. Andrew's Church, New York,
the handsome sum of four thousand dollars
was realized towards deflaying expenses re
cently incurred in embellishing that edifice.
SERMONS TO CHILDREN.—A course of ser
mons to children Will bo commenced in Broad
way Methodist Church,. Camden, tomorrow
Afternoon at half-past three o'clock, the first
of which will be preached by the Rev. Alex
ander Clark. The second will bo delivered
by that eminent Sunday-school divine, Rev.
Dr. Newton.
'TILE SUNDAT•SCIIOOL MIES.—Tbe first num
ber of this interesting weekly, under its new
management, has appeared. In it Professor
J. S. Hart, now its solo editor and proprietor,
makes the following announcement:
" The proprietorship of the Sunday School
Times has been purchased from the American
Sunday bohool Union, and it will henceforth be
oonduoted as a private enterprise. This arrange•
meat, however, implies no clangs in the general
poiioy of the paper, or in the principles upon
which it will ha conducted. The only change con
templated is, that the editor, bring now released
from all other engagements, and being permitted
to give his entire time and energies to this paper,
hopes to be able to make it sull more worthy of
the oonfidonce and patronage of the Christian pub
lio, which has been thus far so liberally acoorded
to it.
"By our arrangyemont with the society we shall
be furnished, as heretofore, with weekly communi-
cations from the missionary department, and the
paper will be sent by the Society, free of charge,
to all life members who desire it."
ANNIVERSARY or A PASTORAL Am ASSO
CIATION.—The second anniversary of the
Pastoral Aid Association of St. Paul's
Church, Third street, below Walnut, will be
hold to-morrow (Sunday) evening. Bishop
Potter will preside, and addresses will be
made by the Rev. Benjamin Watson, William
Welsh, Esq., Rev. Dr. Vinton, and Charles E.
Lea, Esq.
This was the subjeot of a learned and interesting
lecture, delivered at Concert Hall on Tuesday
evening, by the Rev. A. Cleveland Coxe, D. D., of
Baltimore
The leoturer appeared upon the platform accom
panied by some thirty clergymen of the Episcopal
Church, including several of the most distinguished
of their number in this pity. Dr. Coke is a man of
fine presence, and commanding ability, and his
effort cn Tuesday evening fully sustained hie high
reputation as an orator and a scholar.
Before introducing the lecturer, the Rev. Mr.
Chase, rooter of the Church of St Matthias, in
whose behalf the lecture was given, returned
thanks to the audience for the success of the course
which closed with the present lecture. It was
true that, owing to the depression in financial
affairs, this success had been but partial, and it
was thoroforo possible that another course would
be Inaugurated next season. Ile concluded by in
troducing as " the poet laureate of our church,"
Dr Coxe, of Baltimore.
Tho latter, on approaching the stand, said that
he certainly did not present himself as answering
the description which had just bean assigned him,
and much as he had .sung, the audience would
probably learn before he tree through that he could
deal as largely in prose. Be proposed to speak of
literature. The literature of this country was, at
tho outset, regarded as dofeotive and corrupt
Against this the clergy of our land were called
upon to battle, and ho feared it was too mush for
them. Extracts were read from Cicero and hie
contemporaries, as a kind of stand-point from
which to surrey the field which he proposed to dis
cuss.
Ax Inzen RE➢GL or '4B
More literature, it was said, could not save a
country. Its highest developments were in fact
shown to be consistent with the decline of every
thing else. Copious reference was made to the
state of morale, and literature at the commence
ment of the Christian ore. Whenever literature
divorced itself from pure morals, and a sublime
faith, it was more likely to be base than otherwise.
By taste in literature he meant good morals But
to the question : Does this taste characterize
American literature? Ile wee bound to say that
it did not, The most unfortunate circumstance
connected with American authors was, that in
their endeavors to ignore all denominational roll.
gious views, their writings wore, in the main, ut
terly irreligious in their tone ; and false taste
in this particular was fraught with the worst re
sults. The inflow:me of the major portion of the
hebdomadal literature of the day was pernicious.
It was filled with weakening adjectives, and these
mainly in the superlative degree. Every back
woods' sohool was now elevated into a Unt VerSteV,
and every dm icing-master was a professor Even the
pulpit was not exempt from this sort of extrava
gance, abounding, as it did, in false rhetoric, and
not unfrequently false doctrine. A man's wife in this
ego was always his " lady ;" a judge's old coat was
his ermine ;" in parliamentary parlance, every
petty disturbance wee a "crisis," and every mea
sure introduced in Congress demanded a patriotic
allusion to the men who fought and died to achieve
our liberties.
The leoturer was glad, however, to discover
signs of n change in our popular taste in
literature The publication of and the demand for
IVltlman's History of Latin Christianity wee an in
dioation that the current wee to some extent settles
in a different direction ; eo wee the recent republf

abroad. Bad taste called for bad speakers and bad
writers, and these were abundantly supplied.
Speaking of the literary periods, or erae, In our
own country, the rotiolutionary period was said to
have produced several charming writers; but
these, and even the language of the Bible, were
now attempted to be improved upon, of which,
among others, the following ludicrous example was
given: "In whom there is neither variablbnese,
nor shadow of turning," was now' rendered, "with
whom is neither paralax nor tropical obscuration I"
Teo writings of Everett, who had evidently taken
Johnson, Gibbon, and Burke as his models, were
highly commended, and, to same extent, critically
examined by the lecturer. Extraots were read
from one of his orations, delivered in 11124, as then
printed, and contrasted with the same passages as
pruned and simplified by their author an their re•
cent roimbliestion, as illustrating the improve
ment in style of which the efforts of even the finest
writers are suseeptible Several ridiculous spec'
mans of redundant writing were read dramatically,
and elicited much Merriment, the grave clergy on
the platform sharing heartily in the general laugh.
Speaking of those who had contributed to mould
popular taste, be said it was strange that among
them no ono was more prominent than Carlyle.
The latter had unquestionably done much to vitiate
the style of our writers. He had found an imitator
in Emerson in this country, and Emerson (who the
lecturer admitted had some merit in hie way) in
torn had his imitators, unconsciously or otherwise,
the result of which was much detestable rant. The
influence of Macaulay upon our literature was also
referred to, without overmuch flattery,
The proper means to be employed to improve
popular literary taste was next considered. Ile .
was well aware that a man Might be able to criti
cise a book, or sn address, without being able to
produce one half so good.: It was, in fact, no
mean attainment to be able to stand before tin mt•
dience, and, with due confideobe and propriety,
deliver an address at all ; nor was it lees difficult
for those who heard accurately to pronounce den
--
sure or praise. The etudy of the razuderawas, of
all others, the most effective means of acquiring a
good literary taste. Wo had manyttoble and wor
thy English standards since the days of Wyakliffe,
and be held that he who bad a good seleotion of
these bad the wealth of a lifetime. The same
rules that applied to the body word applibable to
the mind—care in the selection of diet. Among
the elastics of books recommended, the poets, from
Chaucer to Tennyson, were hold to be indispenea•
hie. The same was true of numerous moralists
and essayists. But, of all books, biographies were
of the greatest service. By these we were guided
to a nobler independence in thought and action.
Biography had, moreover, this double advan
tage : the writer of it ought to be a master
of his pan, and the subject of ft ought to be a mas
ter of something else. It wan matter of congratu.
lotion, also, that history was becoming attractive
to Americans. Hs hoped to see the day when a
history of England would be written by an Arne..
?loan. No Englishman, of any party, bad ever yet
been, nor over would be, competent to perform this
work properly, from the fact that the writer, who•
ever he be, could not avoid, to some extent, writing
in the interest of the present; and he, therefore,
believed that the work of writing the true history
of 'England yet remained for one of England's
American descendants to perform—one of adequate
genius and learning for the task.
The lecturer's aonoluding remarks respecting the
part assigned to literature in cementing the bonds
of our American Union wore hailed with raptu
rous applause by the audience, which we have
omitted to ray, was large, and of the most respect
able character.

Chinese Labor for the Algertan..Cotton
Fields.
A letter from Paris, dated December 31, put
porta to describe the views of the ffronoh Govern
ment as to the results to be obtained from the
clause of the treaty with China legalizing the ex
portation of labor, ‘, This hai been done, no
doubt," says the writer," in reference to obtain
ing a supply of. labor for the cotton lands in Alge
ria. The great immorality of the Chinese adults
heretofore imported has caned the subjeot to re•
calve a careful and. earnest 'attention, and a plan
has been proposed to import boys and girls brought
out under the care of priests and sisters of charity,
who, on readying them in China, will cleanse and
clothe them, and begin immediately a religious and
secular education. On arrival in Algeria and
being distributed among the planters, they will re
tain their teachers, and be ready to plait the cot
ton bolls as they ripen. The onitivation of the
land Is to be effeoted by steam ploughs and horse
hoes, as in thls way an enormous area can be kept
under culture at a small expense. The yield of
cotton (as in the United Stotts) .being limited only
by the number of pokers, cotton may be thus
grown at half the coat of the American, owing to
the difference in the valise of land and slaves, In
the year 1855 five bales of cotton were brought to
Paris from Algeria, of the beat quality, but the
want of an organized system of labor, similar to
the slave system of the States, caused the culture
to be abandoned for a time:
The great improvements in agricultural machi
nery have removed this difficulty in part, and the
importation of coolie children will supply all that
is required to insure success tat the present time.
The children are to be apprenticed 'for twenty
years, and to he always under supervision- When'
the picking season Is finished they, are to, be em
ployed in raising their own food, and in weaving
and making their clothing. At the end of their
apprenticeship they can marry and become citi
zens, with an allotment of land, or return to China,
as they please. Guolly briefly, is the scheme which
will no doubt he adopted by England, and carried
out in British Guiana, and the other cotton lands
in her extended colonies. That there is not a
scarcity of cotton lands in the world the applica
tion of the steam plough with the coolie emigration
will Boon prove. Within five years France and
England will raise at least half the cotton they
use; prompted not only by the independence that
title supply will give them, they will be,urged on
to work by the great missionary enterprise which
it will inaugurate The organized labor of the
railroad system has rendered familiar the carrying
out of great land operations with facility and ra•
pldity, and four hundred children to a single ebip
will soon people the plantations when ready to re
ceive them.

The writer quotes the following extract from the
Moniteur as Justifying the solicitude of the Go.
vernment to engraft the cultivation of cotton upon
the French soil : " Cotton upon which the quanta.
ties that paid duty were, in 1858, 715,000 metrical
quintals (2214 les. each), and in 1859, 739,000, at
tained, in 1860, the enormous figure of 1,160,000
quintals. Even when deduotlon is made of the
quantities sent abroad, there remain 1,083,070
quintals—that is to any, 344,000 more than the
quantity consumed in the corresponding period of
1859."
