nEsoUnCEs or ALABAMA.

We take great pleasure in submitting 2
our readers, the following letter upon the
Resources Of Alabama. II is from the pen
of gentleman thoroughly versed in the
premises. Our Northern friends will, we
have no doubt, be agreeably surprised to
find, that Alabama is so rich in all that goes
to make up States greatness. The silent
march of industry has worked wonders in all
the new States, and they have reached that
point in their progress, at which their power
must now and henceforward be felt in their
national relations. Our correspondent de-
serves great credit for his valuable exhibition
Of the wealth and condition Of Alabama. We
hope he will continue his labors.

This table shows some extraordinary facts that
are not often considered by those who abuse the
South, namely, that besides the Government owning
80 6936l acres Of land which would be sooner pur-
chased up If their agricultural productions could be
promoted, these States have paid SzI Tor the
lands they have alone purchased OF the Government;
and If this sum had been invested at the average time
Of their payment-say 1885, in six per cent. stocks,
payable semi-annually, and such dividends had been
reinyested and compounded till now-it would reach
total sum to-day that would equal fully all the bona
hde capital of the North invested in cotton factories
and shipping. ! allude 10 this to present cause
why the South may appear behind the North In the
progress of her factories, &c.
Cotton factories and iron FORCES are, however, be-
coming numerous Coal mining Is attracting great
attention, and from the great profits missing from IN
vestments In ships, and our wonderful facilities for
building with our splendid timber on the spot &c.,
II is not unlikely we shall ere long enter the lists as
competitor. with our Northern brethren in this ex-
ceedingy profitable branch Of their wealth. In Ala
bnma our citizens generally exempt from embar-
rassment and In certain quarters large amounts OF
money are known to be boarded.
The university and colleges the high schools and
academies in all the principal towns and cities Of the
State, in the highest degree furnishing and the
great increase of the number Of churches and mem
bership the decrease of crime and orderly character
of our citizens, manifest the spreading influence
there of religion.
The increase of population Of Alabama, Missis-
sippi, and Louisiana, is rapid and steady. For ex-
ample, there were In
Alabama lI,9Ol G9,5U 590,76b
Mississippi 76,i4s l3662l 1861
Louisiana, 153 dW 2l5,529 352,4l
And in 1850, large increase will be found.
In conclusion, / feel the utmost pleasure in an
nouncing to the friends Of progress everywhere that
amongst many Of those who have violently opposed
all measures for encouragement Of enterprise and the
