LETTER FROM THE SOUTH.

Labor and the 'colored. Peopie--Erearful
Condition of Things in Texas..-sturuer
and oppression, Etc., Etc.
( Correspondence of the Plttthurgh Gazette.)
BATON ROUGE, February 16. 1669.
Since my last letter to you I have been
in many different places in the South. I
am no, from Texas. There ,is much
prosp ty in many parts of that Stare.
Many very vat able i mprovements ar t 't
being ade, espeCially in farm property
The of.negro quarters are being newly'
roofed and "chinked," the fences are
greatly improved, and the large farms di.'
vided into smaller one.
The co-operative plan of labor gener
ally prevails. In some cases the owner
of the land furnishes the teams and feed,
and takes for his share one half of the
crops; in other cases the laborer furnishes
the teams, feed, &c., for two thirds of the
crop.
The colored people appear happy and
contented, and certainly appear vastly
improved in all respects. You continu
ally hear it said that they will not work,
and that they live bY stealing, butu
no one else working the farms b u tu see
the
negro, and in the face of these charges
it will be noticed that the negro has raised
two millions and a half bales of cotton in
the fast eari besides corn, potatoes, &c.
. Many orthem are buying land and work
ing it themselvesL others rent, and gener
ally, I must say, they are getting along
most creditably, and, indeed, I may say,
they have the good; hard sense of the
South.
In Texas there is but little liberty of
speech. You may be told that a Yankee
is free to express himself—yes, he may if
he freely curses the Radical party, but let
him freely give his honest thoughts and
he will soon be made to know he had bet
ter be somewhere else. There is no ap
parent radicalism in this State—if uhlack
man should now dare to vote, I think he
would not vote anything but the Demo
cratic tickei, for that, is what the old slave
aristocracy call "good behavior." Only
recently two radical men, as good men as
the State of Texas ever had, viz ; H. S.
Willis, of Pennsylvania, and P. J. An
dreas, of New York. were killed without
any provocation other than their radical
ism. The old planters and young ones,
too, all go loaded down with revolvers,
and there is no such thing as estimating
the great number of persons, black and
white, that have been murdered for opin
ion's sake. The Ku-Klux is only slavery
asserting the rightto rule and to keep down
the black man and to repress all freedom
to speech or lathe exercise of the ballot,
The Southern aristocracy , is essentially
despotic, and from past education and habit
totally unfitted to live peacefully under
a reptiblioan form of govermment, and
they are as much determined upon being
the "ruling class" as ever they were, and
to this end they are intensely anxious to,
have the ballot, and are even professedly
willing that the colored man should en.
joy the elective franchise, but it will be
an enjoyment only in the interest'of this
ruling class. They have the land and
they intend the black shall be dependent
upon them, and they now have him com
pletely cowed down. - • -
The government of the South has al
liriys been one of brute force, and this is
' the sort they will establish again as soon
as
of the they , can get the ballot and be relieved
presence of the hated "bos in
blue" and the direct influence of the y na
tienal government. What they cannot
accomplish by peaceable means they will
do so by the revolver and the knife and
the K. K. K.
The government cannot afford to in
trust the Southern rebel with the ballot.
It would be vile injustice to the black
mut. He is yet to learn the first lesson
in our system of government„"that
all are created equal" This lesson he will
learn very slowly, indeed, it is feared
that he will stoutly refuse to learn it at
all, but until it is, he is unfitted to use
the ballot. Yon will occasionally hear
the remark, "the Southern Confederacy
is not yet dead," and I believe they have
that hope. They greatly fear that the
National Government will make "a land
tax of 50 Cents per acre, In which event
they could not Vold vast farms, now to
tally untaxed. 'lf 'taxing the land would
have the effect of breaking up these vast
tracts of unoccupied lands, would it not
be a wise tax ? Truly them never were
such openings for men of enterprise as
are offered everywhere in the south:
Land of the best quality can be had for a
mere nominal price, which will-produce
a bale of cotton, under southern slavery
culture, per acre, which is worth to-day
$lOO, add could be made to produce two
bales with proper cultivation. Bat north

As this disease has appeared in
various parts of the country, with un
usual malignancy, we copy the following
items from a late number of Ball's Jour
nal of Health:
1. Infantile vaccination is an almost
perfect' safeguard until the fourteenth
year.
t 2. At the beginning of the fourteenth
the system gradually loses its capability
of resistance until,- about twenty-one,
when manypersons become almost as.
liable to small-pox as if they had not '
been vaccinated.
3. The liability remains in full force
until about forty-two, when the suscep
tibility,begins to decline, and continues
- for seven years to grow less and less, be
coming extinct at fi ft y, the period of life

hen th em general revolution of the
begins to take place, during which
the system

sew`lease of life, for two or three times
of seven years each.

in Siitherlandshire, Scotland, and the ex

commotion created in California and

GEORGE Cr...Tian, a conductor on the
Concord, New Hampshire, Railroad since
1842, contrived, during the twenty-threE
years ensuing, to make himself the fourth
richest man in Concord. He built and
occupied the finest residencein the city, •
and was known, as a large stockholder
and real estate owner. Previous to be.
coming a conductor he was an ostler on
wages of $650 per year. It ,:1865 the

A paramow Who has been shaved in
China says that the barber first stropped
the razor on his leg, and then did the
shaving witliotit any lather. The cus
tomer remonstrated, but was told that
lather was entirely useless, and had a
tendency to make the hair stiff and tough
and was, therefore, never used by persons
who had any knowledge of the face and
its appendages. After the beard haat been
taken off—and it was done in a very short
time the barber took a long, sharp, nee
die-shaped spo on , and began to explore
his customer s' ears. r; .He brought np
from numerous little crevices bits of wax
and dirt that had been accumulating
since his childhood. The barber sudden
