WHY FAIRLY DIDN'T TAKE WASHINGTON
CIrY.-Thc credit Of saving the city is duo

bull was the property of Mr.. Geo w Riggs
the banker, and was much esteemed for his
many excellent qualities aud intrinsic useful
ness The whiskcy was n barrel of choice old
Bourbon found in Mr. Montgomery Blair's
wine cellar. When Jubal Early and his rob
cl host reached tho dcfrnccs of Washington
they were both hungry and thirsty, and went
to searching tho houses of the ncighborhood
for whatever was good. The bull WAS discov-
cred and slaughtered, and the rebel Generals
and their stanfs banquctcd on him. And there
was great rejoicing when the barrel of whisky
was captured and brought forth When these
rebel gentlemen had filled their stomachs on
the flesh Of the bull, they had suoh fondncss
for the whisky that they allowed it to steal
away their brains. Indeed they gave them.
selves up to fcasting and drinking, and quite
forgot that thcy had been sent to capture
Washington, which they might easily have
done, for it was ut that time in q ,lefcncclcss

The Manufacturing Interest Of the South

Ihe manufacturing Interest Of the South
Governor Parsons, of Alabama, has address.
ed an interesting letter upon the above subject
to the Directors of the Alabama and Georgia
Manufacturing Companies. What he SAYS
as to the adoption Of Alabama to manufac
lures is equally applicable to all tho cotton.
growing States. Georgia has made already con-
siderable advance in manufacturing ENTERPRISE,
and with SO much success as to invite our own
and other Southern States to follow. There
is no danger of overproduction of articles suit
able for the cheap clothing of the millions,
even OF this North American region The
manufacture of common cotton or wollcn or
mixed goods will be limited only by the OK
aant of the product of tho material.
GA new era for industry" remarks the
National Intellgcnccr," has opened for the
Southern States, and the sooner tho people
accommodate themselves to it the better for
thom and for the whole country With inyol
untary labor has vanished the old system of
planting, with its largo crops and profits, and
expensive living, and the neglect of those re-
sources which attract careful husbandry md
mechanical industry. White labor or hired
black labor will be employed in the field. but
on q smaller scale of culture, producing as
much, perhaps, after while, in the aggregate
as the old system, but with it's profits diitruscd
amongst greater number of persons and fam.
lilies"
The South has heretofore depended upon
the North not only for cotton goods, but every
other article, the produce Of the loom, or the
anvil, or the lathe, or of any sort of machine.
ry Or manual ahor,,from rat,traps and TOYS up
to steam engines Not fashionable catH.esap, 2s ~
nor hardly common light wagon or buggy,
was made in the South. Nearly all the ma n.
lectures Of cotton used in tho South was pur-
chased il the North. Not even broom, or
basket or bucket or axchandle could be oh.
tanned without paying tribute to Northern
thrift and industry. 1t was not enough that
the North should have the chief profit derived
from cotton culture Of the South but it must
alsojbe readily forced to take the entire profit
upon all articles Of consumption which the
South received in return for their staples. Tn
addition to this the South depended upon the
Northwest for bacon, flour, lard, butter and
even for corn meal. Such system could not
bus end in ruin if long continued, and if the
war had not broken it up, it must have led to
ultimate bankruptcy and general impoycrish-

A ROMANTIC AFFAIR. -TheMont-
gomery and Atlanta papers have had
accounts of rather q romantic, elope-
ment case, which occurred fromSelma
a few days ago. The pair, consisting
of gay and festive Yankee Sergeant,
and very young girl-daughte of q
highly respectable family in Selma
went to Montgomery for the purpose
of realizing the consummation of their
hopes, but were so closely pursued as
to render it impracticable to be mar
ried there, and they pushed on to find
their Gretna Green on the soil of
Georgia., Reaching Atlanta, the vii
lainous telegraph had been: too fast
for them, and instead Of falling into
the tender embraces of hymen, they
became victims to the rough meshes Of
the law. They were token to the
Planters Hotel, and held in durance
for three or four days, until the yonug
lady's father arrived, when she con-
sented to return to her home and the
bould soger boy was turned over to
the military to answer the charge of
desertion. Verify the course Of true
love does not run smooth.
