The Manufactures of the South.

From the circular Wnlch we su0J0ln,
(says the Richmond Enquirer, Of the 24th, }
it will be seen that the Government, proper.
ly approaching the vital advantages to be
derived from the developement of the a.
bundant resources of the Confederacy, is
about to make the subject one of special
Inquiry and investigation. The statistical
result Of the comparison desired to be iu-
st,,uted viii possess the deepest interest to
our people, establishing-as we think it
fully will-to their satisfaction, the entire
and unqualified ability of the South to sus.
taio herself independently of the North.
Mr. Calhoun is reported to have said that
the South, if thrown upon her own resour-
ces, would be able to supply her every want
wholly from the products of her own soil,
and We are confident that the truth Of that
assertion will be conclusively established,
should the blockade continue for one year
more. 1t was to the diversion of her cap
ital aud business energy from commerce to
uIduulaCLuEts WHICH Lue Wal vi AoAS oCoa-
stoned, that New England owes the vast
prosperity she has since enjoyed, and we
are quite sure that the blockade and its ne
cessities, in stimulating the energy and en-
terprise of our people, will be attended with
equally fortunate results. We trust the
inquiries Of Mr.. Memminger vii! be prompt
ly aud compreheusively responded to, not
only by the Mayors Of cities to whom they
may be addressed, but by private individ-
uaIs possessing the desired information.
The task of collecting and arranging the
statistics thus obtained, will be entrusted,
we learn, to Mr.. j. D. B. DeBow, editor
Of DeBoao's Reuieao, whose ability and ex.
perienco offer the fullest assurance that the
report will be both interesting and valuable.

NEWS ABOUT TIE HARBoR.--Tht
steamer Chesterfield, Captain FIyau, being
10 the Confederate service, was yesterday
employed in attending to several matters Of
military importance in the neighborhood of
the city. She took to neighboring island
large number of able bodied laborers,
who were brought here by their owners
from St. Johns and St. Stephens to aid
/ in placing the city 10 thorough state Of
defence. We were much pleased with the
appearance of these servants, their clothing
being of the most comfortable description,
their physica! development good, and eve
rything about them gave indication Of coed
management on the part Of their masters.
Their owners went with them to direct
their labor, and to see that they were prop
erly cared for. While the steamer was
landing them, several heavy columns Of
smoke appeared to the southwark, which
vas supposed to arise from the fields of pat,
riotic planters who were busily employed
ia burning King Cotton At this point
the Calhoun Guard, Capt. Dawson, we're
cauped, their tents being pitched in most
pleasant spot, and the soldiers we're busily
engaged 10 attending to their duties. They
are employed in guarding an important
road.
The Chesterfield, after discharging her
freight at this poiot, proceeded to Fort
Sumter, near which pos: she used up part
of the day 10 laying new telegraph wire.
The line previously put down did not en-
dure, aud this new wire was prepared with
great care, and was yesterday most success
fully placed in position by Messrs. Alexan-
der, SaviIle, Hobbs and DENLY. A gun
was fred from Fort Sumter, and one also
from Fort Moultrie, on the occasion and
on the return fthe Chesterfield to the city
a salute vas fred from her by some anna
teur artillerists.
The forts in the bay appear to be in ex-
cellent condition and in complete trim to
meet the enemy Charleston Courier.

Prom the Atlanta (Gcorgia) confederacy.

A case of considerable interest is now
pending, aud comes before the Confederate
Court ia Knoxville on next Monday.
10 that city, owing to the number of
disloyal persons in the country, it was de-.
cided that no one should leave the place
without passport and the Military Board,
charged with the matter, adopted as sim.
pie aud unexceptionable process as was
possible to enforce the regulation, with as
little vexatiou aud delay as possible to all
persons travelling. They drew up the form
Of a pledge Of fidelity to the Confederate
Government, which they simply required
every traveller to sign-no matter whether
he was Unionist or Secessionist, and there
upon a passport was granted. The Regis
ter, of the 18th says:
Maj. F. S. HeiskelI, one of the oldest,
most we'll known and respectable citizens
of Knox county, residing some ten miles
from Knoxville, on Monday applied to the
Board for permit to leave the city, but
refused to comply with the regulation a.
bove stated The Board under the cir.
cumstances, declined to give him permit;
whereupon, he undertook to leave the city
without, but was arrested by the guard up.
on the road and brought into the city.

freely expressed bis condemnation of these
proceedings, and made such comments up
on the streets as led to issuance of war.

DEAR WEBD;--You are right In doubling the
correctness of the truth Of my speech to the
troops at Scion, as published in the Cleveland
Herald. Of course ID is not in my power to
give you true report of that speech, for on
such occasions, always speak from the i'm
pulse Of the moment. | remember, however,
distinctly expressing my approval Of the course
President Lincoln has pleased to pursue since
the bombardment of Fort Sumter, and Of my
willingness and determination to give his Ad-
ministration as cordial support In crushing
out, and putting down rebellion, as II my great
idol, Gen. jackson, was President of the Uuited
States. ro .-e-g ,..i oTgo p. 3 ff:!Im

Non-Intervsntion i'm Europe.

Of late years the opinion has been rapidly
gaining ground in Europe, that amicabls rela.
tions and permanent peace cannot be maintain
ed among civilized nations, as long 90 the Gov
ernment of one country claims or attempts to
exercise the right of in.ermeddling in the af.
fairs Of another, debating it's domestic policy,
and even deciding, as has been done in some
cases, who shall be It's rulers. The principle Of
non'intervention, long kept under ban, has
been persistently agitated for the last twenty
years, until England, long notorious inter
meddler in the affairs Of other nations, has
been forced, through her press and her ministry,
and finally from the throne itself, to recognize
the right of every people, without interference
or dictation from any quarter, to manage their
own affairs in their own way. This Is alluded
to in the last report Of the American Peace So
ciety, as most signal encouragement to the
friends of universal peace and the recognition
Of q common brotherhood of nations. "Its
effect" says the report, "in the general vel.
fare and peace Of Europe will be found In time
to be worth more than hundred Waterloos or
Solferinos. Already has 1t checked, and at
length it may reverse, the policy Of Intervention
which has wrought 30 vast an amonnt OF mis-
chief" 3 s,ss,y s.i yi-7
This principle of non-intervention applies
with the same and even greater force to the re.
lations between States confederated or united
under one General Government. In fact, such
Union cannot be long maintained In peace,
giving freedom and security to the private cItl.
zen, unless the principle in question Is generally
recognized by the people, and adhered to as the
settled policy of the General Government.
Were our people, North and South, generally,
and were our State and Federal rulers, legisla.
tive, executive and Judicial, fully impressed
with the Importance, the necessity aud the value
Of this principle Of non Intervention to the gen
eral peace. safety, happiness and prosperity Of
our country, 10 is not probable that our present
suicidal war would last month longer. Gould
the people in the dlsafEected sections be disa-
bused Of the idea with which demagoeues have
filled their minds, that the Northern States In
tend to deprive them Of rights and Of species
Of property which they have held and enjoyed
ever since they came into the Union. could they
feel assured that such is not the case, ana that
they have been grossly deceived and inhaled, the
arm Of rebellion would be palsied at once, The
weapon would drop from the hand Of the Sc

GEN. schenck,s Biography.


The New York Times of the l4lh has briei
biography Of Gen. scHEscK. 1t is, it seems to
us, too early in the war for military biographies
to appear; but still, others appear to think diff
ferently. Here is what the Times says of our
Gen. ScHENoK: tt. 'i.'i
BRIa. GEN. SoHENcK, - Brig. Gen. Schenck,
who was In command Of the Ohio forces In this
unfortunate encounter, was born in franklin.
Warren county, Ohio, on October A, 1909 In
1927, he graduated with honor at the Miami
University, and for two years afterwards acted
as tutor in that institution, leaving the post to
commence the study Of law. In 1881, be was
admitted TO the bar and settled down In Dayton,
where he has since resided. He held seat in
the Ohio Legislature in 1s40 and 1S42; served
as Representative in Congress four terms, from
1S43 TO 1851, during which time he held many
prominent positions on committees. President
Fillmore appointed him Minister to Brazil, and
during his two years. residence there he nego-
tiated several treaties. Since 1853, he has been
identi6ed with railroad interests In the West,
and recently was President Of line running
from Fort Wayne to the Mississippi River. He
has the reputation Of being q determined and
brave man; but apart from these CHARACTERISTICS,
his Brigadier .Generalhship seems to be the only
qualification which entities him to lead troops
to battle.

&c The Journal gives the Memphis Aps.
lanehs as authority for saying that extensive
combinations Of men exist in Ohio, Indiana and
Illinois, to overthrow the Administration, who
are only waiting an invasion from the South to
raise up and act with the Secessionists. The
Journal indorses the statement Of the Ava
ianeAe, and calls upon the people to proceed
summarily to dispose of such combinations and
the men composing them. 1t talks very flip
pantly about treason and traitors, and invites
the Inauguration OF a "reign Of terror" to dis
pose Of them. If there be traitors in Ohio,
they should be exposed and banished; but the
proceeding should be according to the forms Of
the Constitution and through the process Of the
laws. The attempt which the Journal essays
every now and then to make, to excite mobs,
had as well be dispensed with by that and kind.

A Protective TarIff-.Tho Blockade

The Confederate" States must be happy
people! Tney now are enjoying the sweet bless
iugs of protective tariff in all its force. There
is not the least danger of any of the "pauper
labor" countries sending their cheap manufac-
tured article into the Confederate" States to
interfere with, or oppress their laborers, OF any
class or color. They are enjoying the blessings
of rigid protection. How blessed people they
must be. They have a decided advantage over
our free labor of the North. We are only par
tally protected by that splendid specimen OF
Republican statesmsnship! the MORRILL, tariff
while they have the prohibitory act OF Mr.
LINCOLN, in the shape of the blockade.
We shall expect the confederate" States to
become very rich. and their manufacturers,
though there are not many of them, to become
wealthy, under the benign influence of the pro-
tective policy.
Then, they have another advantage; they
are completely protected from competition by
tho great grain growing valleys Of the North
west. They will have the benefits of an ezelu-

not feel the Tuinous effect of competition in
the articles of corn, wheat, pork, whisky, and
all those great staples which the Northwest
have been in the constant habit Of floating down
the Mississippi and its tributaries, to the de-
struction of the agricultural interests of those
States!!
Then, again, it operates so charmingly on the
agricultural people of the Northwest. 1t en-
ables the farmers to keep such abundant sup
plies of grain on hand! They can have such
great consolation, in looking at their well filled
granaries and barns, and console themselves
with the idea that they are in no danger of
starving; aud then again, If they have any poor
neighbors who have no corn, and no labor to
earn the money to purchase it, they can gener-
ously give them few. bushels, consoling them
selves with the idea that they have only given
away that which was worth ten or ttcsnty cents,
and no sale for 1t at that.
# has healty effect on the warehouse men!
1t enables them to keep their houses full the
year through. and to receive their charges for
storage, without the trouble and labor Of put.
ting on steamboats, and railroads. What q
blessing these tariffs for protection are2
