IA Model Southern Plantation.
Tlie fallowing sketch of what may trill
be called a model plantation, is copied froi
the JV. 0. Courier, and we are only sorr
that the perfect system and manugemei:
I described below, should not be more coir
tnon!v practiced in this highly favored lan
of ours. “ There’s a good time corning,
however, and the next generation canni
fail, with the lights before them, of makin
■ some progress in the great science of agr
culture.

| the World!—The Castahula Advocate ha
the following item:
To tiie Editors of the Advocate : Th
Troy plantation (VYr. II. Huntingdon’s) ha
I made tiiis year, under the management c
51.B. Hamilton, who umrked only 3G hands
the large crop of 3)0 bales of cotton, alread
I (fathered, and 150 yet in the field, to pick
and about (5,000 bushels of corn. This tell
for our Black and Little River hands, whei
well managed. C. D.
I People must not infer from the above tha
these 30 bands were either worked twelvi
and fourteen hours out of the twenty-four
like eastern operatives, or tiiat they wen
confined to the cultivation of cotton am
corn, to the neglect of everything eise.
From our knowledge of Col. Uuntingdoi
\ve will present a short sketch of his plan
tation operations, and leave it to our friend
of the ‘Advocate’ to say whether it be ac
curate or not. Ilis negroes are well hous
ed and well fed. They receive three ful
suits of well-made and substantial elothin:
a year, including a hat, a blanket, and oiler
two pair of shoes. At night they hav<
rousting log fires and sleep on comforlabh
They receive 3i or 1 lbs of mess pork o
bacon per week, ami a peck or more finely
ground meal; besides, in their season, peas
potatoes, turnips, and greens in profusion
They get molasses very often and milk al
most every day; frequently Hour, coffee am
sugar, and the sick, the aged and the young
are invariably doctored, nursed and fed lik<
members of the family. They go to vvorl
at day-light, stop an hour for breakfast, o’.j
hour in winter, and three in summer lo
dinner, and leave the fields at dark. The'
have nothing to do afterwards but eat thei
suppers and goto sleep—no night work—
no care far t;,e morrow.
Half of every Saturday is allowed then
JO Wash their clothes; for all are required t
appear clean and tidy every Sunday morn
ing. A piece of land from half an acre t
two acres is allowed to each grown band t
grow corn and roots on private account; am
they raise poultry ad libitum. These ar
either bought by the master at market price
or sold by his permission to the new settlers
or in the villages; and some of these ne
groes often realize thus $100 or more ever;
season.
The Sabbath is sacredly observed as ;
day of rest; and divineservic.es are tithe
performed on the premises by a ccilore*
preacher, or the slaves are allowed to at
tend the neighboring churches.
They have all the holvdays—at Christ
mas a week, including New Year’s day
and then, and once or twice besides durinj
the year, a “ Lig dinner” or festival i
given to all hands on the plantation. Yisi
iheir cabins on Sunday and you will fim
every thing neat and clean—their tables se
out, covered with a white cloth, and ver;
often surrounded with visitors from the ad
jacent plantations, enjoying their coffee
bacon and eggs, fried chicken and batte
cakes.
Col. Huntingdon’s negroes never ru
away, and corporeal punishments are rare
ly inflicted. All the abolitionists in th
world could not persuade them to quit thei
old master or his family. He cultivates th
domestic relations among them—encout
ages them to marry—and when they die
buries them with funeral ceremonies, h
and his whole family following them to th
The plantation is in apple-pie order. -
There are shelters for the stock; good fence;
good fruit; plenty of vegetables; an abur
dant dairy; a table spread with delicacies
dispensed with a beautiful and graceful ho;
pitality; and dowers and shrubberies throw
ing their fragrance over all.
Besides this, the Colonel has his hunte
and his fisherman, his carpenter and black
smith; and if you ask his worthy overseei
he will tell you that four or five of thes
thirty.six negroes were often taken froi
the field, by the Colonel very much to hi
annoyance, for some fancy operation, a boa'
building job, or something of that sort; fc
the Colonel is a man of science, believe
somewhat in book-farming, and alway
makes the heaviest crops when he leave
thingsgenerally’ to his overseer, especiall
if he be sueh a one as he has now got.
But enough of this. Our object is mere
ly to show how happy’ our slaves are her
— how prolific our soil is—how rich th
returns that await industry and skill, supei
intended bv benevolence and kindness.
Fifty Vessels Wrecked.—Newfounc
land papers bring accounts of the wreck e
between jifty and sixty vessels in the ice, i
the gale of April 20th. The loss ot life i
said to be considerable, although full parti*
ulars were not known. A list of IS vesse
lost, with full cargoes of skins, is given, on
of which had five of her crew drowned, an
another two. In many cases, as the vess<
drifted towards the ice, the crews deserte
them and escaped to the shore. In som
cases the abandoned vessels have been tr
ken into port. The Governor of Newfounc
land has been requested by the assembly t
appropriate £300 to the relief of the crew
wrecked on Richard Island and Bonavist
Bay.
CCP The artesian well at Charleston hr
been sunk to the depth of near 1,000 fee
at an expease of $50,000. It is to be ca
ried 200 feet deeper, unless water (such ;
will gush out at the top) is sooner found.
