innate the sagacity and enterprise of these of
our citizens who have already directed their
labor in this channel but we simply state as
a fact that we have, as people, barely en-
tered the threshold of that career which our
resources point to.
Our agriculture will also keep pace. The
workers in cities and shops and mines must
be fed and clothed The soils and seeds
will be improved and the field and the
meadow will furnish supplies Of meat and
bread. Happily our resources, in this re-
spect, are as great as in the other. The

EX-GOVERNOR IsHAM G. HARRIS.

In another column will be found very in
teresting letter from this gentleman 10 a
friend in Georgia, which has found its way
into the papers of Atlanta. 1t will be read
with peculiar pleasure, mingled with feelings
of sadness, by the great mass Of the people Of
the State whom he SO long and faithfully
served, and by numerous friends in other
parts Of the South. Most Of his manhood
has been spent in public life, and, for the last
ten years, to our personal knowledge, much
against his wishes.
He has been bufeted by the waves of po-
litical strife, and encountered the prejudices
incident to the life of every public man.
And yet, now that the passion of the hour is
over, and we are permitted to take an impair
tial view of the past, the honest judgment
even of those with whom he has CHANGED to
differ, will award him credit for integrity of
purpose and IN earnest desire to advance
the interests Of the country. No man was
more devoted TO republican institutions than
IsHAM G.. HARRIS.
We speak from personal knowledge. In the
discharge Of public duty no man was less in
huenoed by selfish or other unworthy mo-
tives. in the recent revolution-in its in
oeption and il its close-he exhibited that
strai ghtforwardness and frmness Of purpose
which must challenge the admiration of all
gentlemen Of elevated tone even among those
who were arrayed On the side of the govern
ment.
The differences Of long standing between
the North and the South, which eliminated
in a wa, are now settled. The work of re-
organizing society, and of adapting our
selves 10 a new order Of affairs, has COM
menced. 1t is an arduous labor, and to
many the future seems unpromising. At
such time il is to be regretted that such
men as MATHEW +. MAURY and IsIAM G.
HARRIS are not with us, giving TO the coun-
try the benefit of their wisdom and of their
example. Wherever they may go the warm
affection of their countrymen will follow
them. In return, we know they win look
with earnest soliciude to the future peace
and welfare Of their native land, rails
ing themselves, as all true patriots will do,
above the influence of prejudice and pas
sion.

BrnziI-American Emigration.

We are happy to find that our most san
| guine expectations as TO the manner in
which immigration would be welcomed by
| the Brazilian public have been realized in
| the kind reception given by the President
and inhabitants of st. Paulo to Gen. Wood
and his colleagues.
From 4 letter received from DR.. Wame
we extract the following satisfactory ac-
count of their reception by them, recep-
ton which, Independent of the desire of all
classes TO encourage immigration, was to be
expected from the proverbial hospitality of
the Paulenses:
The next day at A. NJ, the pretty little
city of st. Paulo was revealed to us, and on
a more thorough acquaintance with it and
the people, We are satisfied that our first
convictions were right. They have treated
us like friends and brothers since our arrival.
The President promised everything we
wanted, and is now making due preparations
to start us on our journey tomorrow morn
ing.
The President called on us Yesterday in
full military costume, and the CITY Council
sent deputation TO wait on us with an ad-
dress welcoming us to Brazil, etc. The
President also put at our services his box at
tllG tlcdtIt, WHICH We dCctplCl, along WIN
many other facilities | cannot sufficiently
express my, and our pleasure at the treat
ment of everybody in this city to us. We
shall long remember them.
Various small parties of emigrants from
the United States have been forwarded to
the district. chosen by them, harbingers
we trust, of steady influx from the States
and Europe to country whose products and
climate offer rare advantages of ease and
profit to the agriculturalist
The arrivals of cotton at Santos are becom-
ing great. The arrivals in October were five
thousand bales, equal to two hundred and
fifty tuns. The price has risen to SIC per

The San Paulo cotton bears high name,

which it is cleaned and put up, and COM

transmission of News-Now and Then

The National Latelligencer, commenting
upon the wonderful changes that have been
effected in the transmission of news in the
last twenty-five or thirty years, says:

graphic operators stationed in different parts
of the Capitol, and correspondents send their
paragraphs over the wires in every direction.
But until 1888 copy" had 20 be sent hence

Eork-who was the leading correspondent
about that time-will well remember for

he wrote Messrs Hale & Hallock, of the

This troubled Mr.. Mr.. James Watson Webb,
Of the Courier and Enquirer; Mr.. Lang of
the Gazotte: Mr.. Munford, Of the Standard,
and other New York editors, who petitioned
the Postmaster General 20 Immediately nip
the plan in the bud" by starting a Govern
ment express. Mr.. Barry (who was the first
Postmaster General ever invited TO sit at the
Presidents council-table as a member of the
Cabinet) consented, and Mr.. Reside was
ordered 10 "outrun the express, whatever ex-
pense it may involve" But individual en-
terprise triumphed, and Gen. Jackson's Sc
cond Inaugural Message, delivered on the
9th of March, 1888, was carried to New
York by the Journal Of Commerce express
in nineteen hours and hall, while the
United States express did not reach that city
until twenty-iour hours later. A few months
afterwards, locomotives commenced running
on 4 portion Of the route between Washing
ION and New York, and before many years
had elapsed, Geographic communication al

President johnson and Senator Sum-
ner-Thc President Turns the Senator

| Washington correspondent Of the Cincinnati
Commercial.
There is n good story told about Senator
Summers last visit to the President which
cannot withhold, because it shows that MIR.
johnson inherits to some extent the peculiar
mental traits that enabled his lamented pre-
decessor to look upon the brightest side of
every picture, and frequently to sugar-coat
the bitterest of his official pills with a,pleas-
ant witticism that tickled the ear, and yet
was pregnant of political philosophy worthy
of Alexander Hamilton. Mr. Sumner called
on the President a few evenings since, and
was Immediately invited to a conference
with him. Mr.. johnson asked him how he
felt, and how he liked the political horizon.
Mr.. s. inhaled several cubic feet Of the am
bient air, laid his hand upon that part of
his outer garment which covers other mems
hearts, exhaled a ponderous sigh, rolled his
luminous visual orbs, and said that he felt
heavy and sad. Mr.. johnson naturally in
quircd the cause of his distress and was an
swered that the condition of the freedmen
was ominous of great evil for the coun-
try. We must do something for these
freedmen, or the war will have been
fought in vain. The whites of the
South are as disloyal rs ever and never
cease denouncing the Union" The Presi-
dent smiled and told the Massachusetts SEN
ator to be of good cheer, that matters were
getting along very well, not perhaps as fast
as we would like, hut as fast as all things
considered we had right to expect. "And
rs for denouncing the Union, | am very
sorry TO say that's true 10 a great extent in
the South, but you know they're been doing
hGt an Massachusetts, too.' The weight Of
the last clause was duly felt, and evoked
smile from the cavernous depths Of the de
spondent heart of the champion of freedom
who next remarked that Southern whites
were continually insulting and abusing the
blacks in the lately rebellious States. "Well,"
said the President, 81 know that's trne too,
but if you'll read the papers yuoll find that
up North, white men are very often found
abusing and insulting one another" Yes"
said Mr. -, "but in the South it is the in
formal spirit of oligarohy and caste that does
it. Its nothing but an unjust prejudice of
race that must be exterminated." The
President was not to be beaten, even with
this sage and philanthropie suggestion, for
lac replied in the twinkling Of an eve, that
there was n good deal Of this prejudice of
race up North; as was manifest fromtho ha-
tired against the Irish and Germans exhi-
bited every now aud then.
The heavy-hearted Senator soon found |
that the PTerident was more than a match |
for him, and his lugubrious concern for the |
freedmen gave wayto a more cheerfulsp irit, |
which admitted Of the discussion Of more |
topics.

OUR EDUCATIONAL INTERESTS.

The mischiefs of war will be constantly
before our minds for years to come. Among
other complaints laid at the door of the late
war; are the injuries inflicted upon our
schools and colleges. Our Lebanon neigh
Dor, Cumberland University, was utterly
consumed but its name and memory re-
manned, and some Of its learned corps Of
| professors. The able and venerable Presi-
dent, Dr. T. c. Anderson, and Judge Green,
Of the Law Department, are still present,
the latter already going on with the law in
struction, and the former engaged in an
| earnest effort to collect means to rebuild the
college. This is commendable, and shows
that our educational wants are not to be
neglected in that quarter.
The University of Nashville, with a SPLEEN
did complement of buildings, still is silent,
except in its Medical Department, which,
with its former Faculty, with the exception
of the lamented Buchanan, is'now open, with
a respectable class. 1t is time the Trustees
of this old institution should be waking up.
1t was once understood that its endowment
by North Carolina, in the name of Davidson
Academy, had yielded a handsome revenue.
We are ignorant as to whether it was all ex-
pended in the erection of the new buildings.
Cannot something be done to revive this dis
tinguished old institution, and place in on a
footing Of renewed prosperity and useful
ness?
Columbia, in the wealthy county of Maury,
which at one time afforded educational adj
vantages for young ladies equal to any place
in the South, is taking steps, we understand,
to reopen her valuable institutions of learn
ing. The old Columbia Female Institute,
the property Of this Episcopal diocese the
Methodist Female College, under the super
vision of the Conference Of that church,
were both closed during the war. The
AthHncum, though more fortunate, suffered
seriously in its means of usefulness. Each
of these institutions we understand, will be
re-opened so soon as the necessary repairs
and arrangements can be made.
From the Universities of East and West
Tennessee, We hear nothing. The friends Of
these should also be up and doing. The
youthful intellect of the State needs them
all. Alabama and Mississippi are setting us
good examples.
In our city, the Rev. Dr's. Elliott and
Ward have each opened hourishing Female
Schools, which offer every facility for the ed
ucation of Misses and young ladies, of which
so many have beeen deprived during the
four weary years past. The common schools
of the city are in successful operation, with
a very large number of bright-iaced boys and
girls
But We fear that many parts Of the coun-
try are sadly in need of village and neigh
borhood primary schools, and that the men
tai culture Of the children is much neglec- |
ted. Our people must not forget the |
precious minds Of their little ones. The
schaol has been often the doorway |
to the most distinguished positions of honor
and usefuncss-and, if the college course
cannot be reached, the secluded school house |
in the wood by the roadside, should be made
10 supply its place as far as practicable
