The Resources of the South.

The waste of life and material caused by the
war is immense on both sides. But ii is one of
the strongest evidences Of the vitality of the
North, that by means of Immigration and other
reparalivc forces, she is steadily increasing in
population and wealth, in spite of the war. Over
and above the army and those who are engaged
in supplying its wants, there is great and in
creasing multitude Of laborers engaged in devel-
oping the national resources, clearing new lands,
working mines, opening new sources of wealth,
and thus not only meeting the waste of war, but
constantly adding to the national capital.
In the South it is not so. All the energies Of
the entire people are absorbed in the work OF
feeding and clothing the army, and keeping
themselves alive. There is no power to make
up FOR the terrible ruin wrought by the war, the
deso!ation that broods over seaports and planta-
tatious, the evidences of decay visible on every
side the poverty and suffering among those who
never knew what want was before. Nothing has
been done to repair the destruction of rail roads
and machinery the runous loss of capital by the
abandonment of the culture of cotton, and the
labor and money expended on munitions Of war,
that has been going on ever since 1861. Slave
labor, never worth much, has been greatly re-
duced by the war, aud what remains of it has
become so demoralzed by the rumors of emanci-
patton that for four years have hoated southwark
on every breeze, that it is to-day ofttle effective
value. And if the rebellion were successful, the
most dismal apprehensions would be realized in
years ofstagnation and poverty throughout the
South. III Sf
Still the real source of wealth in the South is
thefertlity other soil and the mildness Of her
climate, aud these are things on which war can
leave no trace And with restoration of the
Union, the immigration of free white labor, the
resumption of amicable traffic with the North and
with Europe, we may in few years see the
South more smiling and prosperous than in the
palmiest days of the slaveocracy.

CHILD KILLED.-On Wednesday morning last,
we started for the city inthe7 o'clock car, and as
usual took the one-horseca at the city boundary
for Gay street. While passing down Greenmount
Avenue near Madison street, a child about three
years old got on the track, and before the car
could be stopped it was knocked down by the
platform and the front wheel passed right over
its head crushing it to death in an instant. There
was great commoton among the passengers and
women and children who rushed to the spot from
all sides. 1t was painful sight, and several la
dies tainted. The poor mother was we'll nigh
frantic. This melancholy affair should be les
son to all concerned. While parents allow their
children, especially those SO young as the one just
killed, to run about and play on the railroad
track, nothing short of Divine Providence can
preventAhe recurrence of similar accidents. 1t
also shows the necessity Of watchfulness and care
on the part Of those driving cars and other vehi-
Giles through crowded Street
A Coroner's Jury was summoned, who exam
ined a number of witnesses and rendered a ver-
dict of accidental death, entirely generating Mr.
Hollingsworth, the driver. sa

RyTt is estimated that The oil product of
Venango County, Pa, is at least 10, 900 bar

dollars at the wells, which is low average
will give one hundred thousand dollars

Tie October elections have brought an echo
from the South very different from what we
should have heard II Morgan had been elected
In Ohio, Davis Id Pcnnsylrania and Ben
ton In Iowa We hear no more talk about
re-enslaving the blacks through the machinery
Of state Courts. The retrograde movement
has been stopped, md turn taken In the
other direction. A healthfnl and gratifying
change Is visible eren In the State of Missis-
sippt. We trust that her Legislature, which Is
now In session, will at ouce ratify the Free
dom Amendment Of the Constitution, and
thus deprive the AbolittouIsts Of any further
pretext for doubling the sincerity OF their pur-
pose to put away slavery entirely and forever.
In the era Of good feeling which has come
upon rs !. may seen ungTacious to insist that
the Southern States shall not be admitted Into
Congress until that amendment Is ratified, but
the requirement IL 50 reasonable that we up
prehend it will be insisted On.
We cannot forbear reuaarkfng that the out
eiyIngs at The White House have been more
satisfactory since the 10th day OF October
than before supposlng that action aud
reaction are eqnal we shall noT look for =

The result Of the recent war 80 disastrous

and subject to your will in their every move

couirol. Hitherto you have been accustomed
to direct their labor by your sovereign man
date now yon can command It only by con-
tract. This brings about relations which arc
new to both races and brings them 80 sud-
denly upon each, that both you and the blacks
find It difficult to accommodate yourselves to
the. mighty change. The black man Is daz-
zled, II not Intoxicated, with the idca Of free
while nun Is more or less oppressed with the
thought that this element Of his wealth Is
swept from him. The ignorant black man
has, In too many instances, fallen into the de-
lusion that freedom means exemption from
manual labor and the while man discouraged
by The Incidence, and, In many c:.ses. the in-
science Of the negro, has exhibited symptoms
Fellow citizens, these arc errors which, It
not speedily corrected, will prove fatal to
both raccs-nay, to our country itself. You
must furnish employment and wages to the
black man, and teach him the art Of earning
an independent livelihood: Ton must i'm

-Nebe&s and Believers in Slavery
IkcpudtHted.

The Old School Prcsby terian Synod Of C1f-
cago, which comprises the northern half of
Illinois, has just terminated a session Of four
days. IN this citv, 1t haring adjourned Last
evening. The attendance was quite larse.
There were come more than any 10y and cler-
tcal dele.ntes in attendance. The sessions, as
. general rule, were Harmonious, and the
members lcft the city feeling thnt they had
spent In Gnlenn pleasant and profitable
keaSon.
A portion Of last evening was spent IN read
fng and considering the action Of the General
Assembly relative TO fellowship with those
c]ergymcn and 1aymen who had participated
In tie lnte rebellion, and who believed slavery
TO be n divine Institution The General A.
sembly had recommended that no such per-
sons should be considered as mcmbcss Of the
Prcsby terian Church till they had repcnted
Of their sins and confessed their errors.
A yote wax taken on The question, "Will
the Synod iudorse tho action Of the General
Assembly," !" which resulted In the Affirmative
by vote OF about 40 to I. This, we take II,
will satisfy ercry one that the Old School
Church neither indorscs tho rebellion nor Its
cause-slavcry.
Dr.. Junkin. Of Chicago, the leader OF the
"seycn." wished to have statement record
ed in the minutes, that himself and those
who voted with him In the negative, did SO,
not because they Indorse either slavery or the
rebellion, but bccauee they believed that the
General Assembly had no constitutional
right to interfere with the matter, 1t being an
