The staples of the South are of such incsti:
mable value to the commerce of the world
that they have, in the past, and promise be-
yond all contingency in the future, to come
into triumphant competition with those Of
every other country upon the face of the earth.
Sugar, cotton, rice and tobacco. hemp and
naval stores, are all articles of universal and
almost unlimited demand, at prices which,
considering the cost of production upon cheap
land, will yield results to agricultural labor
for which there is no parallel. But beyond
these staple srowths, the climates and soils Of
the vast region which stretches from the Po-
tomac to the Rio Grande are favorable to
every product upon which industry and cap
ital arc expended in any country. The vast
mineral resources which geological surveys
have divulgcd, which no hand of industry has
yet attempted to develop, and the infinite
number of manufacturing sites, all present
the most tempting bats to enterprise, and
will open up results for it, which nothing in
the history of the times has equaled, dazzling
and magnificent as have been its past achieve.

AS a member of the bar, Mr.. Withers, both

He was soon after transferred to the Law

Withers was genial, kind and brilliant. Pc

As a jurist, he was eminent and respected.
He regarded the law as great noble science,
