THE PRooREss or MASurAcrvnEs IN THE
UNITED STArEs-In table recently published
In Boston, showing the condition Of the different
factories in New England, the average divi-
dends paid by the several manufacturing COM
panics for tho last six months Of the year 1864
were quoted at the rate Of twenty per cent
per annum, thus proving that the capital in
vested In manufacturing business Is very pro-
fltably employed.
In the natural course Of things the present
heavy tariff on articles Of foreign production,
the advanced price Of gold, and the consequent
high rate of exchange, must greatly stimulate
domestic manufactures. Before long we shall
see factories for the manufacture Of cotton and
woollen fabrics springing mp everywhere, and
many years will not elapse before the United
States will be the greatest manufacturing, ss II

might by cultivsting union among themselvaS,
become the strongest and most unassailable
governments In the world. But, like the bundle,
Of sticks with which the Roman illustrated bis
argument, they become helpless when separated
in interest The cause of this want Of union
lies in the cupidity and selfshness Of their pub
lie men. A South American politician seeks
power only that he may enrich himself 1t Is
Indifferent to him what becomes Of the COM
monwealth provided he can attain his object.
OF course the masses follow the example thus
set them, and revolution becomes the order Of
the day. In this way the door has been
opened for the French to walk into
Mexico, the Spanish into St. Domingo
and the Chincha Islands and the Brazilians
into Uruguay. It is time for South Ameri-
can statesmen to wake up to these facts
II they do not sink their personal interests and
quarrels in common effort to defend their
liberties they will soon have no liberties to
defend. Brazil offers on example of contrary
policy, and the consequence is that she is be-
coming stronger and more powerful every day.
The governments of the South American repub-
lies are only rushing upon their own destruc-
ton in keeping up the unhappy jealousies
which render them SO easy prey to the
invader.

The UNITED STATES NAVAL APPRENTICE
SCHOOL SYsTEM.-The success that has thus far
attended the revival Of the naval apprentice
ship system has been so hattcring that there is
no doubt il will, If il has not already, become
an established branch Of the national naval
educational service. As nursery for practical
seamen and a thorough school for officers, a
more advantageous system could not well be
devised. All that is now necessary to impart
strength and insure perpetuity to the institution
is for Congress and the department to see that
the errors which were allowed to creep in and
mar the usefulness of the system when II was
first established, in 1887. shall not be per-
petuated under the present regulations and
that the school shall be carried on under the
direction of humane, capable and experienced
officers This is the case at present on board
the school frigate Sabine, commander r. b.
Lowry, now at Norfolk. The Congressional
Naval committees should also devote a few
days to on official investigation Of the system
as practically illustrated on board the Sabine,
and thus be the better able to suggest to Con-
gress such legislation as may be necessary to
promote the interests Of the school.
In answer TO numerous inquiries In re-
gard to the method Of getting boys into the
school, We have to state that the process is very
simple. All that Is necessary is for the parent
or guardian Of the youth 10 take him before
competent navy enlisting officer-Coptain
Oscar BuIlus at the Naval Rendezvous, Cherry
street, is among the most prominent In this
city-and If the lad passes the surgeon'sex-
animation, make the necessary affidavit before
notary public, who is at hand, sign the papers,
and the youthful aspirant for the honors Of an
American naval hero, the young cmulator of a
Farragut, or q winslow, or IN Albemarlc
Cushing, at once becomes one of "Unclc Sans
own" until he Is twenty-one. We publish in
another column copy Of The official regula-
tions for the enlistment and government
Of the naval apprentice boys, and invite
TO IL the attention of those who have boys
eligible and desirous Of becoming mem
bers Of the institution. The recommendation
of Secretary Welles, that portion Of the mid
shipmcn be selected from among the naval
apprentices, is now before the Naval Committee
OF the House, and the reputation of the chair
man Of the committee for devotion to official
business ensures for the subject early and sffec-
tive action.
