life agreeable. Nov, I am certain there ID
more wealth In any twenty townships, eaeh
five miles square, in any Of the counties Of
the Western Reserve Of Ohio, thau int the samo
given number Of counties {south Of Kentucky
and excluding few cittes) Of the whole South
ern states. And venture to gay there are as
many reading men tn one of these townships
as In aaJ enc Of those counties; and that
there are more children whog to school, aud
can read well, In one Of those townships, thhn
in one of those counties; There are, also,
more educated aud handsome women In one
Of these townships, who can p1ny well On the
plano after doing good washing than In any
townships can produce more grain mora
fgood cattle, more butter aud cheese, more
wool, aud Ino,e of all thRt Is required to sup.
ply the natural and artificial wants Of human
beings, than the average Of my, one OF all
those ,countiea! But King Cotton rises up
and inquiries what they can do without him.
The reply Is that the women Of the Western

than wcu1d be required to spin da1 enough to
clothe every inhabitant in linen from head to

Let me tell you another thing, the result Of.
my experience, and agricultural writer's may
get It down as q fact; tint the hest grain grow
fhe further you go South, the less ab!e Is the
Hon to produce gTuln, and by consequence to
sustain animal life. : Thesame Ia: to be said Of
npples and Of the various grapes. The poetf-
cal 1dea which the people hare that; the tropf.
cal regions can sustain d greater population
than the temperate regions is g. great error,
and ns for. sustaining aud bringing up vigor.
ons people, It is wholly incapable Of doing it.
Hence / conclude, and I think very Justly,
that wealth ist found within certain 1atitudes,
and poverty within others, while, II Slavery
exist in both, it will diminish the one and In.
ereaee the other. The cause for this may
briefly besaid to be the long dry seasons. Even
here in Southern Illinois, I find on. my farm
north Of Cairo a Sps9ng month, called Febru.
ary, which I know not what to do with, for
the weather Is warm aud yet nothing ,groWB !;
then through the long fan day after day, the
thermometer. ranges from rs; to s., and up-
less It happens to rain the fields .become des-
eEt6- In. addition to this, the: heat causes d
variety Of bilious diseases, during which we
rs much calculate on using q certain, number
OF bottles Of Ayers que cure, or soma: such
medicine, as We do Of using cextain number
Of buEhe1s Of grain. Set down another fact,
than m--good and permanent health In the
Southwestern States Is unknown, aad this Is
shown from the Census reports, by which it
appenrs that the white population does not
increase as fast as 1t does in the Northern
States. Children afe raised with difficulty;
the crop, otto speak, is :as uncertain as that Of
corr, and venture to say that one-th1rd more
children die at the South than at the North.
To losea child Is nothing 80 common Is the
event; but, Of course, when one is out of the
way, room, is made for another, and to strau-
ger the activity In this respect Is remarkable.

TO the Editors OF the Commercial Advertiser:
You remember the little "llaid Of tbs

flirting with the Falls. Yesterday about four
O'clock, she left heT dock, under the guldance

Her dock is but a few rods above Suspension
Bridge. 'Crowding on steam, the q Maid y

; the Bridge, and for short time nothing was
seen OF her but her Whee1.house; but rising
'1lom the huge waves that rolled over the deck,
ehe sped onward, with the loss ofher smoke

she passed into the Whirlpool, from thence
into the Iiyo1, and then ehe wns safe. The

her people are In favor Of the Union, and the

to say thai, Il Gov. Jackson escapes banging

Tho Printer's Dollars.

\ cotemporary who is suffering just
now, thus debatcs
THE PRINrER's DoLLArs.--The printers
dollars Where are they? A dollar here
and q dollar there. scattered over numer-
Gus small towns, all over the country,
miles and miles apart-how shall they be
gathered together? The typo founder
has his hundreds of dollars against the
printer; the paper maker, the building
owner the journeyman compositor, the
grocer, the tailor, and all assistance to
him in carrying on his business, have
their demands hardly ever so small as n
single dollar. But the mites from here and
there must be diligently gathered and pa
tiently boarded, or the wherewith to dis
charge the large bills will never become
bulky. We imagine the printer will have
to get up an address to his widely scatter
ed dollars somthing like the following:
Dollars, halves, quarters, dimes and all
manner of fractions, into which ye arc
divided, COllct yOursclvcsA q come home !.
Ye are wanted! Combinations OF all sorts
of men, that help the printer to become
proprietor, gather in such force and de-
mand with such good reasons yourappear-
ancc at his counter, that nothing less than
sight at you will appease them. Col
lect yourselves, for valuable as you are in
the aggregate, single you will mover pay
the cost Of gathering. Come in here il
silent single file, that the printer may
form you into battalion, and send you
forth again to battle for him and to vim
dictate his feeble credit" Reader! are
you sure you havnt n couple of the prin-
ter's dollars sticking about your cloths?

Munitions Of War.


We are gratified to learn from the
Richmond Enquirer, that Virginia is to-
day better provided with all the necessa.
ries OF great campaign than any State
North of Mason and Dixon's line-if she
is not equally as we'll supplied as the
Federal Government itself. The Navy
Yard at Gosport, the Magazine at Nor
folk, the Arsenal ut Harper's Ferry, ad-
ded largely to the supply, which has
been removed from those points and
distributed among the soldeiry; but the
action talsen by many Of the counties,
without the knowledge of the authori-
ties at Richmond in purchasing arms and
munitions of war for the companies
within the county limits, has supplied
to q very great extent, the hundred
thousand men which, within a few days..
will be ready to defend the soil of Vir-'
ginia ficm Federal invasion.
The Enquirer adds
THAT Gen. Lee can at any moment
leave Richmond at the head of 90 900
men now here and in the counties be-
tween this and Alexandria. General
Gwynn, at Norfolk, and General Ruggles,
at Fredericksburg, have each a very large
army under their command. The rail
roads OF the State, under the Quarter
masters Department, are held in readi-
ness for the transportation Of troops from
point to point. The telegraph will COM
municate orders, while couriers are pre-
pared to convey commands wherever the
telegraph does not extend.
$50 great has been the enthusiasm OF
the people that Gov. Letcher has beei,
compelled to forbid any more troops
rendezvousing ct Richmond without spe-
cial orders"

Day~ If blockade is warlike demon
stration only as between foreign powers,
then the blockade of Southern ports Is a
practical recognition of the independence
of the Confederate States. If Lincoln
still considers the seeded States in the
Union--as he has assumed to be the case,
his blockade of their ports is in violation of
that clause of the Constitution which de-
clarcs that no preference shall be given to
one port over another. Closing one and
leaving open another, is such preference
as is positively prohibited, and the act Of
the President is usurpation. In any view
of the subject, the Executive has acted
without the authority of law. If the Sc
ceded States are held to be still in the
Union, the blockade is IN violation OF the
Constitution, if not in the Union, the
blockade, without the authority of Con-
gress, is equally lawless. So there is no
escape from the charge of usurpation, an /
the conduct of the administration is no
less revolutionary than that of the seced-
ed States.
The Athens post. [volume] (Athens, Tenn.) 1848-1917, 1861-05-17

H@ The people of South Illinois seem
generally opposed to invading the South
ern States, protesting to act merely on
the defensive. The Cairo Gazette, of the
End inst, says, in allusion to this matter:
We hear but little from our Represen-
tatives in the general assembly, but we
hope and believe that they will stand
firm to the last, voting millions for de-
fense, but not one cent for invasion!
Egypt is loyal to the country and coun-
try's flag, and while her people are ready
and willing to protect her soil from the
hostile tread of any foe, she is not prepar.
cd to cross either the Ohio or Mississippi
for purposes of carnage and slaughter.

The Right of Revolution.

We presume no man, at least, no North
ern man, will claim there is any differ
cnce between secession and revolution
as applied to the action of the eight States
which have refused to be governed by the
Constitution-that no man will deny that
secession, revolution, and rebellion are
synonymous. We have never been an
advocate Of the right of secession or rev.
olution from Republican form Of Govern
ment. There have been many distinguish
ed advocates, in this country, of the right
of secession or revolution. We don't re-
collect, however, of any one, who has
more clearly and emphatically endorsed
this right than Abraham Lincoln. In a
speech in the House of Representatives,
January II, 1913, he used the following
emphatic language in advocacy of this
right
"Any people anywhere, being inclined
and having the power, have a right to
rise up and shake off the existing govern
ment, and form n new one that suits them
better. This is most valuable, and
most sacred right--a right which, we
hope and believe, is to liberate the world.
Nor is this right confined to cases in which
the whole people of an existing govern
ment may choose to exercise it. Any por
ton of such people that can, may revolu.
tionize and make their own of so much
of the territory as they inhabt. More
than this, a majority Of any portion Of
such people may revolutonize, putting
down a minority, intcrmingled with, or
near about them, who may oppose their
movements. 1t is quality of revolutions
not to go by old lines, or old laws but to
break up both, and make new ones."-
(Appendix Congressional Globe, lst Ses-
sion 30th Congress, page 04.)
Eight States have already availed them
selves of this "sacred right" as Mr.. Lin
coin terms it, and several others will soon
follow their example.

WHAT THE ENEMY Would LIKE TO Do.
The National Republican of Washing
ton City thus announces the policy in
the Lincoln Government:
"There is no peace except upon the
qualified submission Of those in revolt
There is no recognition of any pretended
Southern Confederacy. There is to be
no peaceable assent to q separation of
these States. The Government is to be
maintained in that plain, straight-for-
ward way in which all Governments are
maintained, by coercion. The leaders Of
this conspiracy are to be driven out OF
the country, or to be hanged, and never
did conspirators anywhere and at any
time more richly deserve the fate which
awaits them. They have attempted the
overthrow of the lreest and best Govern
