whst the South Needs.

whpt the South Needs.
Gov. Perry, in his admirable mes
sage, has touched upon q matter
which must, noIens volens, be seriously
considered by the people of the
Southern States and OF South Caro-
lima. We allu3e to the followi1 g para
graph:
cit should be the pride of every
farmer and planter in the State to
raise, grow or make everything which
he uses or needs. Slavery has been
abolished, and labor made more
honorable as well as more necessary
They who have heretofore spent their
lives in ease and idleness will be forced
to work. Planting and the learned
professions are no longer the only
honorable means of livelihood for our
young men. They must become
tradeslnen. manufacturers, artisans
mechanics. Immigration of indus
trlous foreigners must be encouraged.
Then manufactures will spring up,
commerce will revive, and we shall
become an independent people"
This is plain and sensible talk to
the people. What we want now is
rorhers in every department Of indus
try-in the field. in the workshop, in
the n1anufactory and in the counting
house. The radical change in our
system of labor will not now permit
any gentlemen, idlers or unproductive
loafers. If the earth yields her in
crease to any remunerativs extent, it
must be by hard licks and untiring
energy on the part of her people; if
we wish to advance our mechanical
interests, our young men must not be
ashamed to go into the workshops
and learn some useful trade, and in
every other department of the great
work of developing our resources and
repairing cur 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 practice enough to
support them, and, thus untitled for
any other business, they too often,
instead of being active producers,
become Il 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 ot
it which formed our labor system, has
been swept away as in the twinkline
Of an eye; and if there is any othe,
way to resuscitate our resources and
bring back prosperity to the land
other than by untiring efforts anG
steadfast labor, we cannot see it.
There is work now for all who are
here, and for all who may come among
us for . quarter of a century to come
Let each, therefore, go at it will
steadfastness of purpose and with {
determination to succeed, and success:
will come.

inhabitants, impelled to folly by their
fears, endeavor to escape even beyond
the French frontier, where, alas I! the
dreaded Death stalks before them as
fearful as where they left it. Business
and politics alike, are dumb in the
presence of such terror.

chase of several miles.
Well, Mosby was amusing himself this
way one day, when the General and his
imposing cavalcade made thei. appearance,
all as merry as school boys at frolic.
The partisan thought it a pity to disturb
such innocent hilaGity, and in all proba-
bilitg, the General had important business
in the town of Winchester. But, said he,

habit, and besides, it is my duty 10 inter

He ordered captain TO take twenty
men and charge them, while he with his
orderly would follow as spectators. The
charge was brisk and decided, the ambu-
lance moved fast for Winchester, the es-
cort faster, and the captain and his party
in pursuit, brought up the rear in gallant
styls, giving occasional shots from their
pistols by way Of variety. Another small
party from Winchester met the general
and his party and wheeled TO keep com
pany-she rebs began to gain ground on
the car, but Gen. Nuflie had splendid
horses, and his driver must have been
Jehu himself. About one nile was made,
several cavalry caught and several killed

over five hundred yards, directly in front,
and a tremendous guard The ambu
lance had the benefit of fifty feet, and the
brigadier could be distinctly heard order

been let out. The distance between the
pursuing and the pursued became beauli
fully less, when finally at a distance not
more than two hundred yards from the
wagon train Gen. Dulfie became prison
er of war in the hands of Mosby, and lis
worthy friend the Adjutant with dozen
Of his escort, shared similar fate. The
cavalry with the train did not attempt
pursuit, as Mosby ordered up his whole
command TO escort his distinguished pris
oner and suit back ''inlo the woods.

Gems. sheridan and Early


A correspondence dated Winchester,
October 7, 1865, 10 New York paper
says: n,J.
Ihave seen several statements in your
paper referring TO the conduc, and gallsn-
ny of General Phil Sheridan on the oh
of September, 1864. at Winchester. and
bis campaign in lhe Valley sgsins; Gen.
Early.
The facts are as follows: Gen. Early,
on the l9Ih OF September, 1864, with
lS. 900 men was attacked by the forces Of
Gen. Sheridan with upwsrd of 10000
men early in The morning of that day.
and about sunset the forces Of Gen, Early
retired from the field, Gen. Sheridan not
pressing Gen. Early. Gen. Early lost
in killed and wouaded 5000 men, leaving
only 500 wounded in hospital behind
him. Gen. Sheridan brought into hos
pIial into Winchester, on the following
day. from this battle. upward Of 5000
wounded Federsls, and the loss to Sherl-
dan, in killed and wounded, was no, less
than 10000 men. When Gen. SloCum
makes another speech have him 10 look
al these figures and make proper inquiry.

Baltimore and Ohio Railroad.

At the usual MONTH y meeting Of the
Directors oil the Baltimore and Ohio Rail
way, which was held Wednesday, a semi
annual dividend Of four per cent, on thc
main slem was declared, and a dividenl
Of FIVE per cent, on the Washington
branch Of the same road. In regard Il
The affairs of the Company, Presiden
Garrett stated that the force Of employees
now numbers seven thousand seven hun
dred and FIVE men, The aggregate Of the
pay rolls for the month Of September was
nearly three hundred an FLY thousand
dollars. dou'lo track IS in process oI
construction to Piedmont; thirty new en-
gines have been added TO the equipmen
of the company, and twenty Others are
being constructed. In regard to Goa
freight, il was shown that the charges
were considerably less on the Baltimore
and Ohio than oa any other, and, tha
with the large increase of motive power
the facilities for the transportation of Goa
10 this market will be greatly enhanced.
EXTENSIONS.
Two very important railroad en!erprl.
ses are now under full beadway. The
one is the construction of railroad from
Washington 10 Point of Rocks, on the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, near Har-
per's Ferry; and the other is the compile.
ton OF The Pilsburg and ConnelIsvil!e
Railroad, between Piusburg and Cumber-
land, the latter also point on the Balli
more and Ohio Railroad, l7s miles west
of Baltimore. The Point of Rocks. road
will be 40 or so miles long. II is 70
miles now from Baltimore 10 Point of
Rocks and 81 miles from Washington TO
Point of Rocks, by the present railroad,
BY the new road it will only be 40 or so
miles TO Point Of Rocds from Washington.
It is being built by the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad Company. The Pi,tsburg
and ConneIlsville road is l4S miles long;
80 miles are completed and in operation
between Pittsburg and Connehsville; the
remaining 80 miles will be completed, it
is hoped in about year. When these
two links are completed, there will be an
airline railroad from Chicago 10 Wash
ington, as follows: Chicago 10 Piltsburg,
by Fort Wayne and Chicago road, 468
miles; Plusburg 10 Cumberland, BY Pitts
burg and ConnelIssiI!e road. l4s miles;
Cumberland 10 Washington, by BaIn
more and Ohio and Point Of Rocks ROAD,
! So miles-lotal from Chicago TO ash-
ingIon, only III miles. or IL miles shoF-
Ter than the present shortest route by way
Of Harrisburg and Baltimore. The differ.
snce in lime. however. will be still great
er. II now requires 40 hours 10 GO from
w Washington TO Chicago. BY lie new
route, through trains can easily make the
run in 80 hours; and IbsI will be only 25
miles per hour.
