OPINION IN THE SOUTH.

To The Editor Of The NJ Y. Tribune:
SIR: The letter from " Poor White" in your
issue for this morning, is true expression of feeling
from powerful body of men in the South whose
voice is seldom heard In 1913 lived in Central
Georgia and an incident that happened to will show
that the Slavery contest is yet to be fought its
ground. / had attended Wing mass meeting where
Toombs had been setting forth the merits of Gen.
Tay lor as possible President in opposition to Gen.
Cass, the hero of the broken sword. / rode home in
company with an old man, staunch Democrat, and
by little que yioning managed to draw from him an
expression of opinion upon the questions OF the day,
and, especially upon the Slavery question. He de-
Tended Mr. Folks Administration but soon got TO talk
ing about Slavery and slaveholders and the social
effects Of the institution, and then he grew wrathful
was astonished at the depth Of feeling he exhibited. II
I, a Northern man, had talked thus, / should hardly
have had time to pack my trunk before the State
would have been too hot for me- He had spent his
life among large slave owners He held few
acres Of poor land 90 poor the great planters would
not touch it. There by the help Of his wife and
daughters, he was able TO make bale or two
of cotton a year, which paid his store bills"
few slsb-sided hogs and patch of corn and " COW
peas" with few sweet potatoes and poor old horse,
were about all be bad in the world He could send
his children to school unless he would apply TO the
county officers f the benefit of the school fund, and
receive it on the gnominious terms OF public charity
All this he attributed to the monopoly Of power and
wealth in the hands of shareholders. Andy said
he, "they turn up their noses at us II we come near
"them and only treat decently when they want our
"votes There are enough in Georgia who don't
Gown slaves to carry the State in any election, and
"they can abolish Slavery if they choose 70 do it"
twill come when we aM do IT." had previous
knowledge that many respectable Southern men were
no friends TO the peculiar Institution, bat had not
before any idea of the smOthered hate existing in the
1911 dlaanI aaoa1
of the Poor Whites" Probably the old man lie dead
ere this but his cass yet lives and in due time they
will have reckoning with the power that Expresses
them. j. A. y

Correspondence OF The N. Y. Tribune.
ST. LOUIS, Aug. Is, 1860.
meeting of gentlemen favorable to establishing the
manufacture of railroad iron in this city, has just been
held. The meeting was well attended, and embraced
our largest capitalists. From facts and figures set
forth in statement made to the meeting by COL Bogy
il appeared clear that St. Louis will be able TO manu-
facture railroad iron cheaper than it can be manufac
tured elsewhere on the American continent, and that
by means of it's twenty thousand miles Of river commu
ncaton and the extended railroad connections there
with it will surpass any other point in its facilities for
distributing the iron when manufactured.
1t is contemplated by those interested that the COM
pany to be established for the manufacture OF railroad
iron will in their organization embrace the present pro-
urietors of the Iron Mountain and Pilot Knob, upon
such terms as will render those vast deposits OF iron
the property of the company, and entirely under ls
control From the facts presented the conclusion was
reached that coal best suited 10 the purpose could be
procured in abundance suitable terms from the coal
f,lds of Illinois, bordering the Mississippi, on which it
could be very cheaply transported in barges by the aid
of tow boats. Finally, the great abundance of lime
rock here places the question of material beyond

The most satisfactory feature is the incre 'se Of

of f2,I60 900 shown in the previous return The CIR
cula,on, however, has fallen off, and the private de-
posts have largely increased. Movements Of equal
importance are the increase Of million sterling in the
coin and bullion, and the decrease of 600 the

tone Of the Dry Goods market has improved ana .he
transactions have been on satisfactory fcaie. Inc
early Southern buyers have in many instances r'
turned with small stocks of goois limiting their pur'

crops But the prevailing opinion is that the accounts
are greatly exaggerated and, while some sections VIII
