THE SOUTH.

The industry, with which the Southern States
are applying the means of improvement to the
development of their real resources bctokens an
emInence in the future, which those, who figured
IN an age past and gone, could never have anti
clpated. The large amounts recently expended
in, and the still larger appropriations toobiects of
manufacturing and systems of internal improve
ment are the sure guarantees of deternin alton
to render the South as great in productions as it
is in natural advantages.
In an address, recently delivered before the
American Institute of New York, are details,
which will be read with interest and which will
animate the breast of every Southern man. Della
ware has a greater number Of manufacturing es-
adjustments, in proportion to population, than
any other State in the Union. Maryland has in
vested S45 900 900 in Railroads, Canals and
manufacturing operations. Virginia has similar
investments 10 the amount of $50 600 900, and
will shortly have Railroads in operation to the
extent of 500 miles. North Carolina has five
hundred miles of Railroad completed or in the
course of construction. Although South Carroll
ma has heretofore advocated foreign markets as
material 10 her nteleSts,ye from the practical in
fluence which Railroads have had in demonstrate
ing the true policy of aproducing country she has
embarked in manufacturing to some extent and
the result of which bids fair to make it a valuable
auxiliary TO her interests. Florida though it has
but lately become State, has 81 600, 900 invest
ed in Railroads and manufacturing.
Georgia has, perhaps of any State in the South,
reaped The most ample remuneration, present and
prospective. She has more than seventy cotton
factories in successful experiment, and she is
building Railroads as fast as her energies can be
taxed. All over the States Of Alabama, Tennes-
see, Kentucky, Mississippi and Arkansas, the
same spirit is diliusing itself While Missouri has
the magnificent sum of $50 100000 invested in
mining railroads and manufacturing
These things are contemplated by every ration
al mind with peculiar qualification. Every year
will still extend improvement in all branches and
will have a powerful tendency to check the evil,
which, according to some of our statesmen, will
be to us virtue Of necessity.
