The sugar plantations of Louisiana bid fair to regain their former prosperity in a few years. All accounts go to show that the planters generally have an ardent desire to commence repairing damage at once, where they have not already commenced, and plant cane and corn to the extent of their ability. Confidence is now being restored as rapidly as could be possibly expected. The idea is almost universally adopted, that sugar growing will pay, even under the heavy disadvantages resulting from the war. Money and labor are needed, and money and labor the planters are destined to have.
