rHB FUTURE THD souTH.


We utter but trite sentiment, says the
National Iatetligescer, when We SOY that the
future of the South is in the hands of Its
young men. How many of them are quail
flying themselves to manage its factories, con
troll its railroads, mine its ore, work its ma
chine-shops and cultivate its plantations p
Professional men it has in. abundance-able
lawyers, accomplished physicians, eloquent
speakers, These have their uses, but the
growth of State depends less on them than
on the character of the men who mansge its
industrial enterprises. What is most needed
in the South to-day is that the young blood
which fought for it SO CALAMITY should work
it as deternine9ly. On the plantation, in the
shop, in the factory, there the South is to eff
feet its true restoration. Tho young men
who dug trenches and fed on hominy and
pork, who went clad in homespun gray, and
slept in cold or rain OF shine under the cano-
ply. of the heavens to further the fortunes, as
they believed, of their native land, can now
dc noble service by laying hold of its plough
handles, turning its Iathes, guiding its spin
dies, handling its locomotives. But there is
want of capital. No matter. They have
youth, health, hope, ambition, and good abil-
tiles. They have every incentive for which
to work Begin with will and success will
crown their efforts.

CONGRESS.

We suppose, though We have no informa-
zion on the subject up to the hour of going
to press, that the rump Congress assembled
in Washington yesterday. There Is much
speculation in regard to the policy to be pur-
sued towards the non-recOnstruetcd States,
particularly as it is evident that they mean to
reject the proposed constitutional amendment.
It was thought in Washington on Saturday
afternoon, that the Presidents message would
moi be sent in until to-day, Tuesday. We
expect to give our readers the main portions
of this document in our next issue.
THAD. STEVENS will doubtless be the ruling
spirit during this session of the rump, as he
was in the last. A correspondent writing
from Washington, says of him:
Since the arrival of Thad Stevens at the
seat of Government, increased interest in po-
litical affairs has been excited. do not think
any great importance is properly to be attach
ed to his personal wishes and intentions. If,
however, the action IF Congress IS to be con-
trolled by his dictation, then, indeed, there
will be stirring times this session. undcr-
stand he sneers at any bargain, as he calls
the conference between the President and Mr..

the action of the Southern States altogether
unnecessary to make valid the Constitutional
amendment also learn he has prepared a
bull, the purpose and operation of which are
to render null all the appointment made by
tho President during the recess Of Congress.
Further, with reference tot this mountebank
2his co-adjutors, telegram dated the LIST
instant, says -
"Judge Kelley and Hcn, Roswell Hart had
A long interview with Thad. Stevens tonight.
Judge Kelley has prepared an act to create
and organize department, to be called the
y Department of Internal Revenue. 1t vests
tbe,appointment of Commissioner in the Su-
preme Court, upon the nomination of the
Chief Justice, and allows the Commissioner
to appoint all his subordinates. THIS bill will
be pressed at once to immediate passage.

pp1ToR1An pRRv1r1Es.

Hon. Samuel b. Ruggles stated in
his speech at the Cyrus Field banquet in
New York, that there is in the United States
$4,000 miles of railway, and 90, 200 miles of
telegraph lines.
There are many indications that the
present session of the rump Congress will not
be os tremendously radical as was anticipated
There are many indications of rumpus among
the rumps.
Gold has been discovered in Canada
at place called Mudoc. There is great ex-
element over it.
There is just now great influx of
emigration into Texas, mostly from Arkansas
and Missouri.
a bill has passed the Georgia Legis-
latufe, providing for the education, at the
State University, of all soldiers under thirty
years of age manned in the Confederate SER
vice.
- The great suspension bridge over the
Ohio at Cincinnati, two thousand two hun
dred and fifty feet long, has been completed.
1t is the longest single span in the world.
The banks in New York city have
materially contracted their loans, and there is
just now great tightness in the money mar
ket.
- A radical paper published in Boston
says that the work of the radical porty will
never be successfully accomplished until BIZ
BILE worship is overthrown, and that God is
no more to be found in the Bible than in a
geography!
- Mr.. George Watt, of Richmond, has
invented pillow, which he calls the "cuf
BRACE" that widens and decpens the furrow
at will by means of screw and key: By
means also of fange running to the edge of
the mould board, it prevents the pillow from
choking. Experienced farmers, who have
tested its capabilities, pronounce it superior
to all other implements of the kind.
- Salmon-P. Chase is the present Chief
Justice of the United States, and his highest
ambition seems to be to figure at colored abb
clifton pow vows. What an immcasurable
difference between him and Roger B fancy?
But then this is radical progress.
"A bill has been prepared, and will be
introduced during the first week of the ses-
sion of Congress, repeating the act of july.
1862, which empowers the President to grant
full or conditional pardons to persons engaged
in the rebellion. If it becomes law it con-
fines the President to the Constitutional power
to pardon after trial and conviction. 1t is a
part of the radical programme.

West Virginia.---Condition of Her
People.

The Wheeling Register presents the fol-
lowing picture of the deplorable condition OF
the people under the rule of radicalism. 1t
is not over,wrought, but on the contrary what
is said to be the condition of the Southeast
ern counties is more than paralIeled in our
own and other counties this side of the Allie
ghenies:
s'Iu some of the Southeastern counties
nine-tenths of the people are under the raids
cal ban. They have been insultcd, wronged,
oppressed and prosecuted almost beyond for
bearance! They have been deprived of cv-
cry civil and political right; they are denied
even the poor, privilege of expressing an
opinion dislastefnl to their radical and intol-
Grant masters They are excluded from the
courts, either as suitors or attorneys, aud the
efforts of their Radical neighbors, have been
continually to Cypress and never to protect.
About one man in ten III Monroe county is
permitted to vote, and that one man is gen.
orally the meanest, lowest and most despica-
BILE creature in the community. They are
under the despotic sway of Judge who was
once a rebel, is now radical, and has always
been a scoundrel, no matter with what party
he professed to act or what disguise he as
sumed. This man has been vested with the
power Of appointing the tools he desires for
the consumaton of his purposes, and cleo
tions by the people have been abolished or
set aside by his order: In some instances,
having been unable to procure citizens of the
State Sufficiently versed in villainy to exc
cute his behests, he has brought in strangers
from other States and appointed them to hold
important Offices not legally within his gift,
and which not even the people themselves
could righttulIy bestow upon any person who
is not a citizen of the State"

MIDDLEwAY.-In a recent hurried perc-
grination through the Northwestern part of
our county. we sojourncd an hour or two in
this ancient village, hitherto Of high repute
and renown. Its general appearance we re
greet to say, was decidedly dull. its people APP
parcntly not having awakened to the new era
of things, or the spirit of progress and i'm
proyement necessary to its development The
several churches, school houses, masonic hall,
&C., remain in tact, and regularly used for the
purposes designed. There are three dry
goods stores in operation, with respectable
stocks on hand, and new hardware store,
greatly needed by the people, just COM.
menced. OF hotels there are none, that old
Patriarch who had lived in the community
since the beginning of tire present century
having at last ''gone the way of all fesh."-
Long will the memory of old HENRY SMITH
be held in kindly remembrance! OF the
"Farnsworth HOTEL" always the home hos
pitality aud good cheer, its proprietor, Mr..
Farnsworth, has converted -itrinto house of
private entertainment, and still ministers to
the weary traveller rs accustomed good Off
ces. There Is NO license here or at Leetown
to sell liquor, save at the restaurant kept by
n, FarnsWorth, jr., in the former place.
There have been several sales of land re-
Gently as we. learned at liberal prices. Mr..
VIM. j. Grantham having become the pur-
chaser of the property known as ''Watson's
Mill" the entire buildings of which were de-
stroyed by Sheridan in his brutal raid through
tile Valley. is erecting large and subs;an-
tial three-story merchant mill which is great
ly needed by the community of Smithfeld
and all its neighborhood. Among other
farms to which our attention was called as
being in market, is the upper end of the
home. place of Mr. John F. Shaull, adjoin-
ing the town. offers 100 acres, Cor it can
be made 200 in all,) of which 4G4 is in tim
Der, situated Immediately on the turnpike
leading to Shepherdstown aud running down
to near the Opequon. 1t is represented that
this land is all good quality of limestone, save
about 25 acres, is divided into eight fields,
with three never falling springs thereon
The improvements are moderate, but as hand
some site for building purposes; as can be
found in the county. The contiguity of this
land to market, with turnpikes leading in all
dir ctions, churches. schools, &c, at hand,
and hcaithfulness of location, renders it one of
the most desirable investments we know of in
the county. The price asked for the land we
regard as reT:y lou, but more satisfactory par
ticulars could be arrived at by consultation
with Mr.. s., of Middleway and its environs.
