How to make Ends Meet.

John Johnson SAYS that he has noticed that
those farmers who have most difficulty TO make

most stock. Now these men take the true
plan to keep themselves always poor, because
their crors and stock are always poor and
bring little. tits good profit to raise three
hundred bushels of wheat from tn acres; but
when it takes thirty acres to raise that amount
it IS raised ut n loss. So it is with cattle and

PRoaREss OF MANUFAcTuREs.-
Chicago Republican, of the 10Th in
stant, says:
"More than forty new factories,
the majority of them, we believe, for
the production of woolen goods, are
to be erected in Illinois this summer.
The capital employed in them will
exceed 81, 100000. The benefit of
these new undertakings will be great
to all classes of the community, but
the interest which will be most pro-
fitted by them, will be that of agri-
culture" "
The people of Illinois appreciate
the advantages which a multiplicit,
OF manufacturing establishments will
confer upon their State. The South
ern States will be compelled to manu-
iacture more of what they use than
has ever been done yet. In recon
structng the industry of the South
this object should be kept steadily in
view. The manufacture of cotton is
that which should engage the atten
ton of the Southern people. 1t can
be made more profitable than any
other branch for the reason that the
cotton Is grown at the door OF the
factory.

Southern papers report great da-
image from the late storm of rain and
n1l. which seems to have been gone
from Texas to Georgia. All the
rivers and bayous were out of their
banks, and the crops will have to be
replanted. The Arkansas River, near
its mouth has been out of its banks
for many weeks, and planters are
much disheartened, as the high
water now coming down the Missis-
ssippi. will complete the ruin caused
by, the long continued food of the
Arkansas.

Judge Sharkey, in his evidence
before the Reconstruction Committee
the other day, explains very tersely
and satisfactorily why the Southern
people have elected men who were
identified with the fortunes of the
Confederacy during the war to fill all
the offices. Says the Judge. 1--WE
really had no material of respectable
ty to run against Them" This is
true, and it is the testimony of a
Union man. Our most respectable
and intelligent people, with few ex-
ceptlons, went into rebellion. And
yet the radicals would have us pick
up all the incompetent, inexperienced
men. and place them in positions of
power and profit.
Ii needs no argument to demon
strate that our ablest and purest men
were either secessionists or were iden-
tined with them during the war, nor
need we now attempt to prove that
those very men are the persons upon
whose fidelity the Government can
repose in the greatest confidence.
Even before the "Reconstruct;on
A-AA"VOo ~ udS Oeeu SHOWN that
the late Confederate soldiers, of all
our people, are best disposed towards
the United States, and give their au-
monty the most cheerful support.
How lncomparably superior and pre-
ferable are such men-how nnnch
more valuable to nation and all its
interests than deserters, skulkers and
tlme-servers.
1t seems that the manly virtues and
open sincerity Of the Southern people
are not yet appreciated by the radi-
Gals of the North. We believe their
soldiers isiia sailors know us best of
all and like us best. These know the
difference between secessionist and
aso-called "Union man" at the South.
and it will be found, both in political
and personal matters, they will trust
the former sooner than they will the
latter. They show their discernment
and sense of justice by such senti-
ments. The Southern people recip-
rocate these feelings, and like to-day
the brave men who fought them bet.

brotherhood for the ostensible pur-
pose of liberating ireland, that the
Union Square establishment has ex-
ted, and received life from the hearts

On Saturday last, the Eastport con-
tlngent of the grand army of invasion
called on John O'Mahony and de-
manded that they should receive re-
muneration for the loss of time and
employment they had suffered in the
wild goose chase. O'Mahony refused
at first, and denounced Kiliian as q
traitor who had sold the "cause" to
the enemy; killian having already
asserted the same thing of O'Mahony
IN IN the streets of Eastport, stating that
the reason why his invasion scheme
had come to grief was because s.the
administration had refused to sup
