SOUTHERN SHoEs.-One of our cotempora-
ries asks, What is to hinder us from manu-
featuring our own shoes 2" To which we
answer-the want of shoe pegs. Thousands
of bushels of shoe pegs are brought from the
North and sold to Southern shoemakers. Is
it possible that there is no wood in the South.
ern States suitable, or that the manufactures
of shoe peg is beyond Southern ingenuity ?
We know the contrary, and we think that
those who very properly advocate the manu-.
facture of Southern shoes had better begin at
the beginning, and let their motto be-Tnde-
Pendence in shoe pegs-AuguSta Dispatch.
