We End everybody, almost. entertaining the

There never was a greater mistake. with

some striking and Interesting facts IN this con-
nection, to show that The bug-bsag Of "s,arV-

Iwil sslec. frss, South Carolins to run TIE
parallel with, Cor several reasons, The chief OF
which are that she has been supposed to pro-
duce nothing but cotton and rice, and she is the
most aerided and contemned OF all the slave
holding States. Not many persons are aware
that this State alone produces fire sirihs near
" q sli the rice grown, but the seventh cen
sus OF 1850 shows that 70 be the fact; besides
nearly all the rice, she produces wheat 20 with
Ia 1900 bushels OF all produced hv the six New
England ates together. SIZE produces almost
a. mucn corn as the State Of New York, and
5000 600 of bushels Of that grain more than
al the New England States together, for she
produced upward Of 100000 Of bushels.
She produced more oats than Maine: more
By 100000 bushels than Msssacbusetts;
more than 1000,000 of bushels Of potatoes
over and above what Maine nroduccd more

land states together: more sheep than Iowa
aud Wisconsin by 10 69g : more hogs than New
York by A. .25l more than Pennsylvania bV

land states, with New Jersey, Michican. Wis-
consin and California in the bargain; more
horses and nules by TO- 030 than Maine, New
Hampshire, Massachusetts and Rhode Island
together; besides an which che produces

ducts OF the smaller kinds
Virginia and North Carolina produced ioint-
" I3 1863 600 bushels Of Whess OF 24l 600
bushels more than the great wheat Srsts OF
New YsTk. OF a quantity equal to The whole
product of the six New England Ststes with
New Jersey, Michigan, Iowa and Wisconsin,
all put together. Virginia, North Carolina
and Tennessee produced AZ 593 bushels
OF corn, a quantity exceeding b. 100000 BUSH
els the ioint product Of New York, Psnnsyl
Vanis, Ohio, New JERSEY, Connecticut, Msssa-
chusetts, New Hampshire, Vermont and
Maine
Tennessee alone uroduced Is 800 more hogs
than al the six New England States, with
New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey. Iowa
aBd Michigan, fer that State produced 3,l04s-
500 hogs, while the eleven Northern States
named Produced but 30SS .394. Most people
have thought that the North wss really the
hog producing section, but such Is BY no means
the fsct-the whole number Of hogs produced
10 1850, was 80 ,3l6 608-of which The slave
holding States furnished 20,770,7 ,720, or more
than tE0-.hirds Of the whole swine produc-
tion.
/ will doubtless surprise many persons to
be told that The seven gulf OF cotton States Of
South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississip-
ri, Louisiana and Texas, produced AZ. .l67 more
beef cattle than the six New England states,
New York. Pennsylvania. Ohio, New Jersey,
Indiana, Michigan and Wisconsin, altogether;
but such is the fact; For the census OF 1880
tellz ne that these seven cotton Stairs produced
g 81. $50 beef cattle. while the tbiT eB North
srn States namrd produced bat 3,3l2,321.
A single glance At the i've stock coamns of
the seventh censns viii prove 10 the inquirer
that the siaVehoidiRg States produced more
beef cattle than the non-slavsholdiug ny ISL
5SI. That while the NORTH Fronuceu or9alrll-
cows, the Son'h produced 2.829,8l0. Thar TIE
No--hsrn States produced S66-397 work oxen,
against S20. $40 pro3sced BY the southern
States. That Wills the North produced 3l0,-
qd2 horses and mulss-ths Ssith produced
$50 3sS more, for the southern production was
2,5T0.320
10 conclusion, as people have been go much
in the habit OF concedinE superiority to the
North, 10 these and other points II view,
mavhs the above statements nay be doubted;
