What the South Needs.

|f What the South Needs. y
( Gov. Perry, in bis admirable message,
has touched upon matter WHICH must, no.
lens volens, be seriously considered by the
people of the Southern States and of South
Carolina. We allude to the following para
graph:
stIt should be the pride of every farmer
and planter in the State to raise, grow OF
make every thing which he:uses or needs
Slavery has been abolished, and labor made
more honorable as we'll as more necessary
They who have heretofore spent their lives
in ease and idleness will be forced to work
Planting and the leared professions are nc
longer the only honorable means of liveli-
hood for our young men. They must be-
come trsdesmen, manufacturers, artisans OF
mechanics Immigration of industrious for
eigners must be encouraged. Then manu-
features will spring up, commerce will re.
rive, and we shall become an independent
people,"
This is plain and sensible talk to the peo.
pie. What we want now is soorkers in eve
~ department of industry-in the field, in
the workshop, in the mandatory, and in
the oouuting house. The radical change in
our system of labor will not now permit any
gentlemen, idlers or unproductive loafers.
If the earth yields her. increase to any re.
munerative extent, it must be by hard hicks
and uutiring energy on the part of her peo-
pie; if We wish to advance our mechanical
interests, our young men must not be a.
shamed to go into the workshops and learn
some useful trade, and in every other de.
partment of the great work of developing
our resources and repairing our shattered
fortunes, it is workers-earnest, faithful
workers-that are needed.
Heretofore, in this State, our young men
from our colleges and schools crowded into
the learned professions, the result of which
was that numbers of them never got prac
tice enough to support them. aud thus un.
fitted for any other business, they too often,
instead of being active producers, become a
burden upon their friends and an incubus
upon the industrial energies of society.
Now everything is changed; :; much OF our
property that constituted. our wealth, and
all of it which formed our labor system,
has been swept away as in the twinkling OF
an eye; and if there is any other way to re-
susc{tste our resources and bring back pros
,perity to the land, other than by untiring
efforts and steadfast labor, we cannot see 1t.
There is work now for all who are here, and
for all who may come amopg us for quar-
ter Of century to come. Let each, there
fore, 90 at it with stesdfastpess Of purpose
and with determination to- succeed, and
success will come.-Colunbia Phoentr.

upon which the Confederate flag once float

hands on the grave, and kept fresh by dai-
" additions, is it emblem ofthe place the
hero bolds in the memory and affections of

greatness, honor, purity Of character, and
deep toned piety are esteemed, jackson will
not be forgotten. 1 was told, that immedi.

THE CHOLERA IN EURoPE.-A CORES
poudent of the Tribune, writing from Flor
ence, on the 9Th Of October says: ..
The cholera has nearly entirely subsidized
in Italy, but RACES fearfnlly at Toulon, Mar
settles and Aries, in France. Some suspi-
cious cases have been noticed even in Paris.
Its character is still more malignant in
Spain, where Malaga, Valencia and Seville
suffsr under that visitation. The Italians
behaved in the most praiseworthy manner
while the .pestilenoe prevailed; the min
listers visited repeatedly the hospitals at
Ancona; volunteer physicians aocked to the
infected towns; !; very few Of the public Off.
GERS fed, and those who did so were at once
csshiered. The news from France is less
heroic. At Toulon the judges themselves
gave bad example; the President Of the
Court of Justice had to adjourn the Court /;
he was ftalone; all his colleagues had fed.
In Turkey, too, the disease is disappearing.
Thus it seems that Europe might have es.
capped that visitation, which had everywhere
a contagious character. Strict quarantine
might have prevented the evil, and restrict
edit. to Egypt, where it was imported BY
the caravan from Mecca.

Still in the Bonds.

a correspondent Of the Rochester Q8aoa
and Advertiser gives the following account
Of the experience Of gang Of negroes who
whefeempioyed BY q 'certain abolition ex,
Colonei'' 10 go Norfh; and work for him.
This loyal hero of abolitiopism, Of which
the Republican party is well Eaplenished
prior to his returning home, goes to Rich
mond, and, with Hattsring tongue, per.
suades one hundred and seven colored men
to return home with him, saying to them
I will pay your transportation, and aftel
your arrival will furnish you work; lwitt
plenty to eat and good pay, with the nm
derstanding that each was to pay his fare ID
work to the said Colonel. $j
He arrived with them week or two ago.
and immediately commenced operations By
taking them up above Montezuma q shor'
distance to cnt cord wood. The Colonel was
to give each man one dollar per day and
board. They began to chop, and the Colonel
to furnish rations, consisting Of unbolted
corn meal and mackeref, dividing one mack
erel between six and sometimes eight men,
which was hardly enough to sustain life
making rule, also, that those who found
fault or complained of their rations should
have their thumbs tied together behind
them, and their feet also bound or tied, and
then made to lie on the ground two hours
on their backs, which penalty some of them
had to undergo.
They were provided with the 'tera fir
ma" on which to repose their wear limbs
after bard days labor, with stakes driven
into the ground and boughs thrown over fol-
covering, and many were compelled tolie
in the corners of fences In this way they
passed two or three days, and finally they
determined to kill the Colonel for the i'll
treatment they bad received at his hands,
/ for they we're Starving to death I; but they
we're told the consequence by some one in
the vicinity, should they kill the Colonel,
and finally gave it up. All but eight OF ten
have left him, and are roaming through the
country, depending upon the charity OF the
people for their sustensnce.
The foregoing facts received yesterday
from one whom the Colonel brought from
Richmond. He also told me that be was
forced to lay on his back for two hours by
the said Colonel, merely for asking for more
food. These facts are also corroborated by
individuals who have been there themselves
He stated that he Jared far better when be
was a slave, for then be had plenty to cal
and q comfortable place to sleep. He fur,
ther states that as soon as he could collect
enough money, he should return again to
his master.

dear old pen again. I am again at the bid.
ding Of your readers, with all the smiles
and apeace, be stills" that I can gather
from the wreck. Thank God there is a

labor, and secure the raising of sufficient Of
the neoessaries Of life to prevent suffering
and starvation, the freedmen are urged at

the contracts to commence on the first Of
January, 1866, and terminate with the

Agents of this Bureau, the civil authorities
are requested to constitute tha-B Board as
above, the two citizens choosing third to
replace the Agent, to act as Agents of the
Bureau for the same purpose. All con.
tracts should be IN duplicate, one for each
of the contracting parties; and a correct
copy must be sent to the Office of the As

MICE M1LLs.-An ingenious Scotchman
has found ont a method of utilizing the
hitherto wasted powers of the common
house mouse. He has invented a cotton
spinning machine, so constructed that a
couple of mice, if tossed into theright place,
cannot help working it. A half.penny worth
of ost meal will keep each mouse five weeks,
and during that time it will do the work for
which woman is now paid ninepenoe. In
other words. it will earn seven shillibgs and
aixpence year, which after deductiug six
pence for board and shilling for wear and
tear of machinery, leaves net profit OF SIX
shilliugs to the employer. The inventor. it
is said, is putting up ten thousand Of these
mice mills, with the view of getting his
living out of them.

Cost Of the War ana the Resources Of
the Country.

Cost OF the War and the Resources Of
the Country.
The Washington correspondent Of the
Chicago Tribune has figured up the cost Of
the rebellion. The public debts before the
war was 500, ,s67, 1928. On:the LIST Of July
last; it was 50, ,757, ,253,275. The receipts
of the Government during the war, exclu.
sive Of loans, &c, were s738, ,749,7s1. It
is estimated, however, that before the war
balance can be fairly struck, the national
debt will swell up to $4,000, ,00o, ,o0O, and
that the actual amount expended in sup
pressing the rebellion was about SO, ,358,.
i000, 900, or an average Of about SS38, ,000,-
900 q year. The expenditures of the first
year of the war were about S475 COO, 600 !;
in the second, s67e, ,0eo, 900 !; in the third,
s9I6, ,0oo, GOO; in the fourth 81, ,215, ,0oo,.
900.
The total expenditures Of Che Navy De.
pattmsnt during the four years Of the var
was about $3.50, ,000, 600, and that Of the
War Department about s2,650, ,000, 900, Of
rWuicu tuc &uaEtctuaeteE 6DoPottAVpSoaono
expended about the sum OFFS 400, 600.
The interest on the public debt on Sept.
.1ss, was s1sO, ,0O0, 900. Supposing the
principal to be increased to3, ,000, ,000, 900,
the interest will be, say, $144, 900, 900. 1t
'isiestimated that the annnalexpsnses of the
War Department for the future-supposing
the effective strength of the army to be q.
bout l25, 600 men:-will be full Sl00, ,000,-
900; the expense Of the Navy Department,
s25, 100000 and forthe civil service, in.
cluding pensions, ETC., $6l, 900, ,0o0-ma.
king the aggregate amount of expenditures
required ss41, 100000.
Tomeet this great expense, the internal
revenue receipts will annually amount TO
1924, ,0o0, 900; and the receipts from Gus.
toms to sc, 100000 0--making the e'annual
receipts s4OO,ooO,oOO. This, after paying
the annual demands upon the Treasury, viii!
leave 100000, ,000--which sum, it is be-
lieved, can be annually applied towards the
payment of the national debt.

ANOTHER GARD OF INSTRUCTIONS FROM
PRESIDENT JoHNsoN.-The Secretary of
State has informed Governor johnson, of
Georgia, that "the President cannot recog-
.nize the people Of any State (lately in re-
bellion) as having resumed the relations of
loyalty to the Union that admits as legal OBJ.
legations debts created in its name to pro
mote the war Of the rebellion." This will
doubtless be sufficient, not only for the re.
organizing State Convention OF Georgia,
now in session, but for the proper under
standing of the subject BY Governor Perry,
of South Carolina, and his Legislature, and
by the responsible authorities ofesery other
State concerned. < The reputation of its
rebel debts is condition precedent which
must be met by every State of the late So
called Southern Confederaoy before its re.
constructed government can be recognized
| by President johnson, to say nothing of
Congress.
Another indisputable consideration mnst
be met by every State concerned, before it
can expect to be recommended by the Presi.
dent to Copgress-and the condition is the
ratification by the State Legislature Of the
amendment of the federal constitution abol.
ishiug and prohibiting slavery within the
limits and Jurisdiction of the United States.
The new loyal Legislatures of Mississippi
and Sonth Carolina are now in session
Neither of them has yet moved in the mat
ter of this ratification; but it is to be hoped
that they will each very soon perform this
fneedful aud important york. We want on.
fly four more States to make this constitu-
tional amendment partof the supreme Law
of the. land. With the two Southern States
above named enrolled in the ratification,
we shall only lack two to complete the work,
and North Carolina and Georgia will ill
the requisition. To the States in the list
required to make just three-fourths OF all
the States will belong the honor OF this a.
mendment. All the rest that may be OBJ
tanned will be- surperauous. If, therefore,
Mississippi, North and South Carolina and
Georgia present themselves asths frst States
from the rebellion to ratify this amendment,
they will be the first to walk into Congress,
provided, always, that they shall not have
forgotten the reputation Of their rebel
debts. North Carolina has led off in this
reputation, clean and absolute. Now, let
her, when her legislature meets, lead of in
this aforesaid ratification, and her applica,
ton for .eadmission into Congress cannot
be resisted.-Neao York Herald.
