what Northern Entcrp.i ise IL
Doing AT the SOulf,

Ne~bcrn, Ike most places that have
been in our possession, is mostly popu
lated by Northern merchants that have
filled its store rooms. Northern me
chanics are carrying on ns work shops.
Northern farmers are tii!ing its sandy Y

potatoes, AMI cnltivating it's gardens.
Maine mon are telling its timbers and
sapping i,s pine trees Massachusetts
men are raising cotton and buying its
negroes for substitutes. PENNSYLVANIA
men are here, boring for oil and coal.
Ohio men are here looking for farms.
Connecticut ladies' are here teaching
freedmen their letters, and how to read
and calculate. Yankees in general are
here, teaching the people business
habits, al the expense Of for,unes-,hat
they might have made long ago. One
Nan. man who leased 800 acre. of
timber land for seven years, for $3.50,
and who recently s"ld one deck cargo
"f lumber tor s. 900, assures me that
they are becoming sharp right fast.
We asked him how he got such fine
timber. "Why 60 way back INTO the
swamps aud cut down timber that they
never dreamed of getting out" These
people have become fully reconcilei to
their fate. They find Northern thrift.
and en'rrpriz" Q profitable thing for
them. Those who few years ago,
were mourning over the loss Of their
negroes and property, now open their
eyes, and, looking about through
yankee eyes, suddenly find themselves
