In our issue ofFrday last, in endeavoripp TO fore
shadow the future policy of the Northern States
we explained how necessary would be the adont;on
OF system OF free trade for the preservation of The
commercial and manu- acturing interests of that
section There is another, and, if not larger. q,
least an equally important interest for the deveI-
opment OF which the inauguration of sncb q Srs
TEN is still greater necessity. This ;s tho o,,r;
cultural wealth of the great West. 1t is undo,h.
eddy to the advantage of that very large section of
the free States TO pursue a course which will
insure 1t the most remuneralive returns for its
crops. lis granted stock, and its corn-fed pork.
No effort will be left untried by the citizens of that
region to open larger markets for the surplus pro-
ducton of their vast fields, for the purpose of Civ
ing stimulus to agricultural pursuits, by which
larger return will be made to the cutivator and
an increased value will be added to the land of
the proprietor. They already fully Understand
that protection against foreign manufactures is
needed by them; that they can, if required, obtain
all the most important articles of manufacture
quite as cheaply from the New England States as
from Europe, and that the cost of overland trans
pertation, which is much heavier than the freipht
from European ports 10 the Allanuc coast. affords
them all the discrimination they need.
The very large interest they have in sustaining
the popular doctrine of free trade will make itself
heard. They will insist upon the adoption of the
policy that will introduce into the country the lar
gest quantity of foreign goods, knowing, as they
do, that they must be paid for by increased agri-
cultural productions-these icing the exports on

lNfERESr TING FROM THE SOUTH.
CINCINNATI, Ohio, June Il i have been amazed
while reading the Northern newspapers to see how
utterly ignorant they Of the true condition Of
the South. left South Carolina early in this
month, and such war spirit as | saw exhibited all

soldiers to press to old Virginia that they cheer

Dalton and knoxville, and the others went the
Southern routes via Columbia S. c. and the
balance the lower route, via Wilmington Tho
railroads were capable IF Transporting SOM 3 COO
troops per day. On the Sd a convention of the
banks, and many OF the large planters, met in At
lanta. U. b. Lamar, formerly of your city was
chosen President The banks in the Confederate
States resolved unanimously to receive tn treasury
notes OF the Confederate States for dues and on de-
post, and the planters stand ready to pledge their
crop of cotton to raise the snews Of war. Foreign
capitalists are ready to make liberal advances on
the great staple: nnehaif OF the cotton crop will
yield to the Government hundred and fifty
million of dollars. The planters can afford
to invest one-half of their crop in the bonds
OF the Confederate States; and this they will
do rather than invest at this time in land
aud negroes. At Chattanooga Railroad

dred million OF dollars of railroad capital were rep
resented there, and they passed resolutions unani

an important move in atfording means nd credit for
