For some weeks past, Mr H. Hood, formerly connected, editorially, with the Chattanooga Gazette, but more recently with the Augusta (Ga.) Press, has been' lying sick in oar city. We are gratified to learn that the inroads of disease are so far stayed; and his strength so far restored as to enable him to undertake the journey homeward. X5T We have been favored with Nob. 27 to 80 of Zell'e Popular Encyclopedia.

We have received through Mr. Bosticky of the well known firm of bos-tick Seymour, who together with a large number of our citizens is summering at Mississippi City, a very courteous invitation from Messrs. Meyer proprietors of Barnes's Hotel, to be present at the regatta which is to take place at Mississippi City on Monday, the 2d August, and also to attend the grand ball which is to take place the same evening at the hotel. The affair will doubtless be a most delightful one. especially as we learn that unnsual preparations to make the ball as well as the regatta a feature of the season's amusement Messrs.

Meyer Co. folly understand how to nfake their guests enjoy themselves, and we doubt not the ball will be attended by the ftite of our tity and the watering places adjacent, td The prospects ahead are bright for the South, and especially for New Orleans. From all quarters come words of good cheer, and it seems almost certain that the glad earth will yield a plenteous harvest. Men everywhere throughout the South are looking hopefully into the future, and see in the teeming fields and prospective harvests, salvation from the ominous clouds that have hung above them since the demon of war swept from them all save their lands. With their own right arms, and struggling against a state of affairs, politically, that would have disheartened men less noble and less brave, they have achieved a triumph which reflects upon them more of glory that' they gathered upon the fields made memorable by their feats of arms.

In many cases where the negro labor proved unreliable, the planters and their sons have performed all the manual labor, and have successfully established the fact that they are dependent upon none but themselves. Generally, however, the negroes have evinced a disposition to work, and could they be removed from the mischievous influence of political demagogues, would soon be cheerful and contented in their new estate, satisfied with the substance of freedom, without desiring to join in that hopeless chase after the ignua alums of equality. It is now. believed that inside of three weeks the first bale of cotton will be received at this port, and from, all accounts tle shipments will steadily increase from that time. Occasionally we hear a faint whisper of the worm, but no serious damage has yet occurred from the ravages of this enemy of the snowy king, and we have cause to indulge the hope that this year it will not come to leave desolation and; ruin in its path.

Corn gives promise of a fine yield, most of our planters having learned wisdom by that hard but thorough teacher, experience have planted more than a sufficiency for home consumption, beside raising all the meat they will require. Thus the South is pursuing steadily and earnestly the path to prosperity in spite of the stumbling blocks that have been thrown in her way, and in the persevering industry of her people lies the true road to that prosperity which undoubtedly awaits us. A New Orleans Sculptor. We observe, in Mr. Haley's show window in Commercial Alley, a bust in marble of a young boy.

It is finely executed and attracted our attention for its artistic merits. On inquiry we find that it is the work of Mr. Hugh Lewis, and that the tubject is his little son, of whom it has the additional merit to be the faithful image. It is Mr. Lewis's first effort.

He is by profession a lithographer, and though accustomed to print with stone plates has never before attempted to model and chisel the human form divine in the imperishable marble. We think his present work will stand the test of criticism as being admirably faithful and well expressed, and that Mr. L. may hope to be commissioned to execute great works in the art of sculpture. The Next "Grand Drawing of thk Louisiana State Lottery the 7th of August next there will be be drawn, at the rooms of the Louisiana State Lottery Company, the great single number lottery, in which the capital, prize is $30,000, and in which there are about two hundred and fifty-four other prizes, each one of which represents a sum which, as Mrs.

WEDNESDAY, MORNING, 4 IMPORTING" CHINESE; It is one of the misfortunes of the South to possess some men whose idea of principle is to be thoroughly unpractical and impracticable. If they have said that the horse was sixteen feet high they regard it as incumbent on them not only to swear to it, but to fight for it as Wlien it was found that the natives of China were coming across this continent, and that being accustomed work for very low wages in their own country, they would not expect as much as is now paid here, and that they were brought to California, and would be forwarded here by some wealthy men of their own country, who would advance their passage money upon engagements to have it repaid with interest, here began to be immediate talk among some such people of "importing" Chinese as so much merchandize. The idea seems engrafted deeply in the minds of many that men of all. other races and peoples are bo far inferior to them that that they may be used by them as readily as domestic animals. We laugh ourselves at the old Chinese talk of Europeans as outside barbarians," which no doubt they were, in contrast with Chinese, when the phrase arose, but we are ourselves guilty of like folly when we speak of Chinese as incapable of deciding for themselves for whom to work and at what price.

This talk of importing Chinese, which was used by that characteristic talker and representative man of this class of Southern people, Gen. Gideon J. Pillow, at the Memphis Convention, has aroused the suspicions of many at fhe North, of the Radical party, who have joined in the protest of the California Democracy against "importing Chinese, and the result of it is an official republication of the act of 1802 against the importation of "Chinese Coolies." We feel free to say that if it were possible to "import" and keep Chinese, or other like peoples, in a state of peonage, or bound service, as is proposed by men who reason like' Gen. Pillow, and have a desire to perpetuate the worst features of our old system of plantation management and culture, we would oppose the introduction of them ourselves. But it will be 'impossible to effeet this.

The Chinaman may be under a contract to labor at some infinites-mally low prices, but he will, soon find that he can get more, and if 'he profits by what we call our superior civilization, he will not feel any more bound by a contract made in ignorance of the value of his work and, by taking advantage of his necessities, than do those who claim to have a purer religion and the only true one, and whose claims to political and educational superiority are 60 flaunt-ingly set forth. Undoubtedly the price of labor will be lessened by the Chinaman coming here but it will be by competition and not by In some way the man who advances the cost of his coming can be, and will be, secured the reimbursement of it, but he can never secure by this act a long period of future labor at Chinese prices. The Cliinaman, it must be understood, is a thoroughly intelligent human being, who is not able to get along at first among as, because he is a As soon as he becomes familiar with our language, laws and course of business, which he may do as readily as a German, if not an Irishman, he will ask equal privileges and get them. The lazy laborer may fear competition with him, the demagogue may make him share with the outsiders his hatted of him as a possible voter, but the Chinaman will, if he does his work, earn his wages and deserve to receive them and, unless we get rid of the baneful idea of universal suffrage, he may be a voter, but we see nd reason why in this very capacity he will be less to be relied upon than some others. He may be a fair offset to them.

JULY 2S, 1869. "Visit to Chatawa. GLIMPSE AT TIPS COUNTRY, ETC. HOPKWOOP SCHOOL.

Just ninety-five miles from New Orleans, on the Jackson Railroad, is situate the beautiful village of Chatawa. Many years ago the Indians roamed thrpugh the dense woodlands, for which this section of country is remarkable, undisturbed by the restless and progressive spirit of the pale faces, joined in the exciting chase, or chanted their monotonous war songs, till they waked doleful echoes through the forest aisle and drowned the murmurous melody of the Tangipahoa. They called this place their home but there dawned a day when the intrusive whites wrested from them their fair domain, and came, with implements of husbandry, to till the fields which had lain for so many years mere idle wilds. The original proprietors of the soil have been swept away by the advancing wave of civilization, and to-day nothing is left of them but a memory. The rivers, hills and valleys, however, still bear the musical names that they gave them, and there has as yet appeared no ruthless Borie to suggest, much less to effect a change.

There is not, in our opinion, in the more Southern States a more picturesque country than that in the immediate vicinity of Chatawa. There are bold and rocky hills, from whose verdant slopes lucent streams pour their crystal tribute to the river, which, with many a graceful curve, goes laughing and babbling to old Pontchartrain. The water of the river is clear and cold, and it is not impossible that some day it will be conveyed bp an aqueduct to New Orleans, to be used in lieu of the muddy Mississippi water. Indeed, Capt. T.

S. Hardie, a most accomplished engineer residing near Chatawa, has a plan on foot to effect that much to be desired end. He informs us that a sufficient elevation can be easily obtained to throw the water of the Tangipahoa into the third and fourth stories of our residences and stores here, and that the entire cost of building the aqueduct will not exceed three million dollars. This is a project which should command the serious attention of our people, for the benefits which would result to New Orleans from having a constant supply of pure, cold water for drinking and bathing purposes can scarcely be estimated. Our City Council has thrown away from time to time sums of money more than sufficient to build this aqueduct, and have nothing to 'point to for' the expenditure.

The large paper factory which was started about two years since near Chatawa, nndor the most favorable auspices was subsequently, owing to financial troubles, which were experienced by even our wealthiest merchants here, stopped, after the building had been run up one story, and has since been tied up by unfortunate litigations Capt. Hardie, the projector of the enterprise, and who by the way discovered a fine water power sufficient to' ran not only the paper factory but twenty thousand cotton spindles also, hopes to be able to complete the work this winter. HOrEWOOD SCHOOL. -Every admirer of the genial Dickens remembers the inimitable portraiture of pedagogue Squeers of Dotheboy's Hall, who" proposed to initiate the rising ateneration in every possible branch of human learning, including the use of the globes, to feed his flock sumptuously and finally, when crammed full of knowledge and virtuous principle, to send them forth with his paternal blessing all for the modest sum ef forty pounds a year. In practice the little victims were beaten, starved, and suffered to remain in benighted ignorance.

Next to those benighted or cruel parents who sent their children to Doth-boy's to be fed on treacle and abused in turn by both masculine and feminine Squeers, must be reckoned the parents of our own Southern girls who send their daughters to fashionable 'and expensive Northern boarding-schools to forget -what they learned at home, and to acquire instead, a smattering of French and the ability to torture from a piano some half dozen operatic morceaux, to say nothing of unpolished etc. Will our people never learn that we have in the South schools where their daughters may be fitted to adorn any society, and where they may not only be instructed in the fine arts, languages, but in domestic economy also? In other words, where their daughters may not only be made ornaments of society but useful members as well. In response to an invitation from Mrs. Howard, the proprietress of Hopewood Seminary, to attend the' distribution of prizes, we repaired thither on Monday Hopewood is situated on a bluff, directly upon the Tangipahoa, and surrounded as it is by superb shade trees, with its extensive lawn sloping down to the river which gleams like a silver band in the sunli ght presents a most picturesque and enticing appearance. Mrs.

'Howard is a member of one of our most honored Southern fctniii nnfl a lady of very superior culture and refinement, who has embarked in the pro-, fession.of teaching not speculation nor yet as a means of but partly from an innate love of it, and partly because she believes that in this busy, bustling world of ours no one has a right to pursue a life of indolence to be drone in society.

Which had been fitted with a view to giving private theatricals, and the evening's en-tertaufment opened with a prologue by little Miss Nora Howard, -which was followed by the petite comedy entitled A Cup of Tea," in which most of the pupils took part, and 'acquitted themselves admirably. Miss especially evincing decided dramatic talent. Miss Borley, a bright, intelligent little lady, with much; grace of manner and speech delivered a brief farewell in the name of her schoolmatestd the teachers one and all.

Then followed the amusing comedietta "A Morning Call," in which Miss R.H. and Mr. P. succeeded far beyond our anticipations, as the play calls for polished acting, and is often murdered by professionals. Miss H.

was especially complimented for the animation' and vim which she threw into the character of Mrs. Chillivgton. After the play came music, and, hist, the distribution of premiums. This over the hall was cleared, and the maturer portion of the assembly joined in the dance, which was continued until far into the night. We are indebted to the kind hostess and her charming household for many acts of courtesy, and the memory of our visit to Hopewood wili always awaken liveliest emotions of pleasure.

It should have been mentioned above that the next session of this school will commence on Oct. 1. LETTER FROM TEXAS. From our Special Trave'-ios Agent and Corre- spondent. LAVACA.

The town of Lavaca is beautifully situated on the west side of Lavaca near the mouth of the Nevada River, This is one of the most desirable locations for a town in the State on account of the high bluff rolling up from the coast, which is a sure preventive against overflow or high water. Lavaca is also a healthy location, and can boast of a liberal-minde'd, industrious and enterprising population ef fifteen hundred, which is steadily increasing. I learn there are three beef packeriee here working on the Stabler plan, -but during the warm weather they do not Eack beef, but are killing about fifty ead of cattle each per day for their hides and tallow. The facilities for shipping cattle from Lavaca will be "far superior to 'those of Indiauola on account of the fine grass and water, there lteing a fine tank of fresh water within a half a mile of town. Therefore, cattle can be shipped from this point in 'better condition tffen from Indianola, whither they are driven fifteen miles without grass or water.

The Lavaca channel is finally completed, and the citizensure quite jubilant about it; and well they may be. They have labored hard and zealously for, the last fifteen years to complete this enter- frise, which I learn has cost, from first to ast, about $75,000 in coin. At the commencement of the war they were-work-ingon this channel, and had it nearly completed, but obstructions were thrown in to prevent the gunboats from approaching the town. This enterprise has been carried on and completed solely by the citizens of Lavaca. They are deserving of great credit for their perseverance and liberality in the matter, and I hope their labors will be crowned with a rich reward.

I learn the channel is from 110 to 150 feet wide, and from 10 to 15 ieet deep, ana tnere is not mucn probability of its ever filling up, as the mud has been removed far from the channel. The prospects of Lavaca are looming up, and I think and hope the day is not far when Lavaca will not only be a place of considerable importance, but a fine business point. All that is now wanting to make Lavaca 'the shipping port of Western Texas is for tne Morgan steam era to come through the channel to Lavaca, and the citizens are sanguine that the Morgan Line will rjin direct to Lavaca, and freight will then be delivered at this point for the same price as it is now put down at Indianola. The town is steadily improving, and I hear of parties speculating in real estate and speaking of building new msfnsions to add to the beauty of the town the Queen City of the Bay. I was glad to find your valuable paperthe old, time-honored Picayune highly appreciated here, and nearly every house in town takes it.

Lavaca is strictly a reading community, and gives a better and more liberal support to the general press of the State than any town of its size in Mere anon. f. d. Jr. Lukges's Foundry.
