McPARLAND. § — TT " WHat THE ‘Sourn N&Evs.—The great staple of the South is ‘cotton, and ‘though the crops‘are large and profita‘ble, the soil peculiarly adapted to its ‘oulture,.yet one who has studied , the subject says: “The area now devoted: to its culture is not more in proportion than. one square to the whole checkerboard. The crop this year may be 2,500,000 bales,an amount which one State might produce.” Here is a field for enterprise, and a (source of profit which will eventually make the wealth of the South. The South needs laborers,and among the land monopolists Coolieism is sought as a substitute for African slavery. The advocates of this system give as a reason two errors, the perpetuation of coerced labor, and the preservation of vast plantations in the hands of a few. These two evils have been the curse of the South. Slave labor under any name is improvident and wasteful, and vast plantations only serve to concentrate wealth in the, hands of a, few, and reduce to dependence the many. It is a dangerous experiment for Americans to proceed upon, the idea that labor to be profitable must be dependent, degraded and ignorant,and yet this is the system which now finds many advocates in our country, and especially in the South. The great need of the South, and in fact the whole country is, men of intelligence, who understand and appreciate the benefits of free government. Such men, with small farms, tilled by free labor, will not only bring them to the highest possible state of cultivation, but will also build up communities, such as now control the States of the West. The policy then of the South should be to encourage the coming of all those Europeans who are willing to settle and cultivate the soil for themselves. Such a system of cultivation will soon introduce a general intelligence among the people, and create a desire among them to advance, not only the material prosperty of the States, but also. to make those States what nature design~ ed them to be, as populous and prosper. ous as the most favored of the Union. No true friend of the South can view the attempt to introduce Coolicism into that section, other than as an attempt upon the part ot those engaged in it .to bring upon the land a curse as odious as negro slavery. ONES Mn. SuppEen Deati.—The Alta of the 10th instant, says: Last evening Hon. E. Rhoades, State Treasurer of Nevada died suddenly, at his rooms at the Ocx cidental Hotel.

Europe. .The arrangement with SwitUnited States will probably be able to -to think they will be mistaken. New Money-Orper System.—The new system of postoffice money~orders went into operation between the United States and Switzerland a few days ago, ‘the manner of remitting small sums of money to foreign countries. The domestic money-order system has worked so satisfactorily that the Postmaster General has been induced to endeavor to extend its facilities so-as to méet one of the wants of our foreign born citizens who ~are -continually sending small sums to Europe to aid relatives in coming to the United States, and the sub~ ject has, therefore, been under official discussion for some months. It is understood that arrangements are nearly . perfected With several of the governs . ments of Europe for the transmission: by postoffice orders, of sums of money not exceeding $50 between the principal cities of the United States—and zerland has been entirely perfected, and went into operation September ist, and it is expected that the system will be extended to the principal cities of North Germiany in a month or two. The exchange of postal orders between the United States and any foreign country is to be effected through the agency of what are termed International Exchange Postoffices. The one for the United States will be at New York, and in for. eign countries at some principal city. In the case of Switzérland it is at Basle. About one hundred and fifty of the largest money-order postoffices in this country, designated for the purpose by the Postmaster General, are authorized to issue Money-orders on the Postmaster at New York, payable to beneficiaries in Switzerland, and to pay orders issued by. that postmaster for sums remitted by the post department of Switzerland, for payment to beneficiaries in the United States. Hence, an international money-order can not-be+ drawn by a postmaster in either country directly upon a postmaster in the other, but must be drawn upon the International Exchange office of the country in which the order is issued An international postal order must not be drawn for a larger sum than fifty dollars in United States currency, and must not contain a fractional part of a cent. The fees for the issue of inter~ nation postal orders“are the same as for domestic money-orders, viz: On orders not exceeding $20, ten cents ; over $20, and not exceeding $30, fifteen cents ; over $30, and not exceeding $40, twen~ ty cents ; over $40, and not exceeding $50, twenty-five cents. No other currency than United States or National Bank notes. can be received or paid. The general rules in regard to. issuing domestic orders, contained in the book of money-6rders, so far as these rules are applicable. The usual forms are to ‘be observed to secure the payment of sums for which the money~orders have been lost. Though only the cities and principal towns of the United States have been authorized to draw on the International Office at New York, every domestic money-order postoffice in the avail itself of the benefits of thie sys-tem, by Crawing on the nearest office that is authorized to draw on the New York office with instructions to forward the order. WHILE ene of the clerks in the Indi. anapolis postoffice was stamping letters, the other day, a terrific explosion followed the blow strack upon one ina white envelope, blowing the end out, and burning his face and neck very considerably. Upon investigation, it was ascertained that the writer, a lady, inclosed a number of percussion fuses for a toy pistol, in the letter, intended for a little boy in Evansville. That missive became a “dead letter” in short order. CuarLes Lecay of San Francisco, has gone to New Orleans as Koopmanschap's agent, in the “Coolie trade.

Union. ; \ «a » Fis Breeprne.—A few miles above the town of Truckee, on the bank of the Trackee river, says the Grass Valley Union,Comer & Bro. are engaged in. the breeding of trout on quite an extensive scale. They have now been ‘in the business two years, and their success so far would seem to indicate that their labors will result not only in proving that breeding large num~ bers of fish can beaccomplished, but at a handsome profit, At the time of our Visit to their placea few weeks ago, they had in their reservoirs and tanks trout of two years and one year old, and a vast quantity.of the hatching of the present season.Messrs. Comer commenced the breeding of fish with‘out-any previous experience, and have continued unremittingly at it, remsin~< ing at the river duritg the winter. months, and have satisfied themselves that the -winter climate of the mountains is no drawback to the fish culture. They report that their success has been beyond their expectations; and they have now no doubt of their ability to raise all the fish their works can accommodate. Their fish of two years growth are limited in number, but have attained a size of from seven to eight inches in length; those of one year are from four to five inches long, and of these they have a number: of thousand. These are contained in tanks and reservoirs, supplied with water conveyed from the river by a ditch. The tanks are divided into compartments to prevent the crowding of the fish—the divisions between the compartments being perforated to permit the tree flowing of the water. The fish of this season’s hatching, were some six weeks old, about an inch in length, and roughly estimated in num, ber at 500,000. They appeared innumerable. These were contained in shallow wooden boxes; or trays, the bottoms of which were covered with fine gravel, and these were placed within long inclined boxes, not unlike a miner’s sluice, with a slight fall from one tray to the other, and at the head ofeach sluice the water was turned in and permitted to flowina gentle current over the trays. When these fish attained a growth that would crowd them in the trays, it, would be but a moment’s work to remove the trays and place them in the tanks where the fish would have more room. The fish were fed wholly on beef’s liver—for the smallest fish the food being cut as fine as possible, to a jelly:: For the larger ones the food was not so carefully prepared. The feeding oper~ ation was performed twice a day, and the liver of one beef per diem was used. In the tanks the older fish were quite tame, and they would readily nibble at the fingers of the attendants, if they would place their hands in the water. From the experience they have obtain. ed, the Messrs. Comer say they now lose but few fish; but find their stock generally healthy. Itseemed to us that there was some danger of loss by overcrowding, and some of the tanks were quite full of fish, but they have the water conveyed to a point high enough above the bank of the river to admit of extending the number of tanks indeffinitely. Besides the tanks they are building a large reservoir, in which the large fish—of two and three years’ growth—will be placed. The fish have all been raised from the spawn, takenfrom the Truckee river, where enough can be obtained every season to stock an almost unlimited number of fisheries. The owners have not had, as yet, any fish for the market, and-will-not commence sales until next year, when, from that time forward, if no untoward accident occur, they must realize hand~ some profits from this peculiar industry. The fishery is on the direct road from Truckee to Lake Tahoe, and many of the visitors to the Lake stop and view the premises, and are much interes in the details of the business as explained by the courteous proprietors.
