Every thing is favorable to the man of small or large capital, who desires to emigrate to the South.  In consideration of the impoverishment of the people and their distrust of the freed negroes as laborers, lands in the best districts can be purchased very cheaply.  Plantations can be bought, many of them with all the buildings and fences still remaining, though somewhat out of repair, at prices ranging from three to ten dollars an acre.  A few hundred dollars will do far more toward securing a home for the settler in the South than in the West.  Labor is abundant, and the laborers can be easily controlled by Northern brains.  The land is already broken, and its capabilities are fully known.  Capital, if judiciously invested and under proper direction, whether in large or moderate amounts, will be reasonably certain of an ample return.

FINIS.
