PLANS FOR SOUTHERN DEVELOP

PLANS FOR SOUTHERN DEVELOP
MENT.-Tho want Of capital in the
South, which is now so sensibly felt
by the planters, with their bare yet
fertile lands, and also the enterpris-
ing business men of that section, has
suggested many plans for advancing
the general prosperity by again bring
ing forth the capabilities and resour-
ces of the country, and building up
It's trade. Among other projects
lately canvassed, which appear to be
practicable, and certainly would be
of the highest usefulness if carried
out, is the establishment of @ Joint
stock company, with capital of So
900, 900, to be used for the develop
ment of the industrial resources of
the Southern States. It is proposed
to raise this capital in the North,
commencing at Baltimore, and even
to seek it in Europe, if necessary. 1t
is to be loaned to planters and land
owners in the South, secured by
mortgages on property, the cash valu-
alton of which is to be at least SO per
cent. over the amount advanced. For
this the mortgager is to pay interest
at the legal rate prevailing in his
State 4; but, in addition, he is to bind
himself to consign the products of his
estate to the agents of the company,
at some specified point, who will thus
act as factors, and find interest
enough in the project, it is believed,
to insure it's success The usual fac
tors commissions of 21a per cent. on
the sales, as well as purchases for the
planters, would thus accrue to the
joint stock company While, there
fore, the planter would realize the
immediate benefit of the needed loan,
the company's business, if properly
managed, it would seem, must be
handsomely profitable. In addition
to this scheme, number of Ameri-
can and English bankers and capital
lists interested in the production OF
cotton, are making inquiries in rela-
tlon to organizing national cotton
growing company in the South, the
latter being influenced chiefly by the
failure of the English attempt to pro-
duce the staple in India to the extent
desired. In connection with all these
plans. the labor question, of course,
comes up, and much will depend
upon the successful issue with the
freedman in his relations to the
white population.-BaAimore Sun.

DIR. Vaughan has published in the
British Quarterly Reoie,c record of
a conversation which he had at Wash
ington with Gen. Grant. We copy
the following from it: ''Say what you
will, said the General, ''this war has
been the biggest job of its sort that
has been done i'll this world; and it
will be chapter to itself in the his
tor of war; nothing like it has gone
before" !" This is evidently high
compliment to the valor, skill and
endurance of the late Confa lerates.
