sesthern Prosperity,

IL Is somewhat remarkable that, while Mr. III
wood Fisher Is proving TO the people of The South

PeriIy than the people Of the North, Southern
men should deplore the condition of the South as

Charleston Mercury which regards Mr.. Fishers
pamphlet as Triumphant and uaanswenble doeu-

lowing passage from the Huntsville Alabama, Adj
-vocate, passage which indicates as clearly az
language csn Indicate, the utter depression and
want Of prosperity in the Southern States. The
opinions Of Mr. Fisher and Of The Editor of me
Advocate, though in direct iinugorism, are o,,.
dOrsed by the Mercury aish equal eanestness.
