| of wonderment at the natural and very plain
result Of the recent construction Of the rail-
roads to points tapping the heart of northern
Georgia and Middle Tennessee, arises wholly
from the fact that the conductors of the jour-
mails above referred TO have adopted their
| ideas Of the Industrial capabilities of the
southern people and climate, from tho foolish
ranting Of anti-slavery lecturers, editors, sta
ticians, and politicians.
The Railroads have ut once produced results
that are fast opening. their eyes to the truth
That the people of the South do not labor go

| most part from the fact that given amount Of
labor at the South yields much richer returns
in money and kind" than at the North.
Tins. tho necessity Cor nnnstant labor Is not

as before those Of him at the North. The
southern man, too, Gas Glass; parts with the
fruits of his labor much more lightly than the
northern man does; as, the world over, that
which is easily acquired is lightly valued,
comparatively. These are facts which bear
upon the comparative industry and thrift of
the people Of the two sections upon which the
anti-slaveryites are constantly harping, taking
due care to keep in the back ground not only
the simple facts to which we refer, but anoth-
er very important fact in the same connec-
ton, viz: that though the North are the more
industrious and thrifty, such o thing as suffer
ing from want-absolute wants almost en-
tirely unknown in all the slaveholding States;
while nearly every white man in them is an
independent citizen in fact, as well as in
name; such thing as a capitals: or proprie-
tor attempting to influence the votes of a mum

absolutely unheard Of at the South. But we
have no room for speculstions upon the effect
of the institutions of the two sections upon the
actual condition of their respective inhabitants.

quarters Of the country are better suited, and
in which they have not engaged, up to this
time, on account Of want Of facilities for get

of Northern Alabama, be not long hence very
extensive growers of grain for expectation, as
they, too, will shortly enjoy railroad facilities
The effect of railroads upon the industrial con-
dition Of Georgia is already realized by all
who study such subjects, having nstounded
those in New York, especially, who deal in
produce. II is but type Of what such i'm
provements are destined to do for the whole
interior of the Southern States One import
ant result will be the prompt transfer Of very
heavy amount of capital from tie North to the
South, because its employment there in agri-
culture, and other pursuits dependent on agri-
culture progress, will yield almost double the
profit, with at least as little risk, as at the
North, where competition has already greatly
reduced profits in every business whatever.

relative commercial and industrial condition
of tho two sections Of the confederacy won ler-

equilibrium thus disturbed.
