Mississippi as any merchants to be found
in ST. Louis or Cincinnati. Here is the
best market for the cotton Of Mississippi,

ALABAMA
The Huntsville Advocate Of a late
date remarks: "a recent trip through
the Eastern portion of this, and into
Marshall county, revealed 70 US a very
gratifying fact; that was the energy,
industry and spirit the people are dis
playing in repairing fences, improving
dwelling houses, clearing up and Flowing
lands, sowing oats, preparing to plant
corn and cotton. And We were pleased
TO see that the people have some hogs,
cattle and sheep leh-plow animals are
very scarce and more are needed. We
trust that the bonds appropriated by the
Legislature may be at once sold by Gov.
Patton, so that the State may afford some
additional relief to our people. Aid now
is like seed cnrn-wil yield enough in a
short while for self-sustenance. Ten
thousand bushels of corn bought for
Marshall county viii do more
good now than 100000 six months
hence. It will give bread to the
women and children, feed the pillow ami
mails, secure a good crop, and then aid is
no longer needed. The people are work
ing as they never worked before, and as
well as their want Of means to work with
will permit. Corn is sold at Gunters-
vile at 81 50 per bushel, but all are not
able to buy it. The people have applied
their own shoulders to the wheel, and
with a little help viii prize out Of the
slough of despond and get upon firm self
supporting ground. It is encouraging to
see the life, energy, industry and resolve
not TO despair. Let the same spirit still
continue, and actuate all our people
everywhere, and Wen again be a happy
and prosperous and great people. Work
is self-support-work is due TO wife and
children-work is patiotism-work is
devotion to the South-wOrk is love to
Alabama-work is religion, for it is full
CLING the decree, by the sweat Of his
brow man shall earn his bread" In
reference to the Freedmen's Bureau in
Alabama. Mr.. Meander II. Rice writes
from Florence to the Hon. Henry T..
Blow: 1.-THE Freedmen's Bureau is a
perfect humbug. have watched its OPP
erations here closely. No use for it in
the world. Any two good citizens can
witness negro contracts as well as Off
GERS, most of whom can'tread. Besides,
they are making money out Of il, charg-
ing 3 for every contract. There was 2
lot Of negroes called on me a few days
ago to write them a petition, and they
would get all TO sign it, and send it to
Mr.. Sumner, to have the whole thing
abolished. The negroes in this country
have heard Of Mr.. Sumner. They think
he viii and can do for them anything
they want; but ! told them it was use
less, and they abandoned it." The No
bile Register learns that a number Of
generous ladies Of that city, on informa-
ton that the family Of Mr.. Davis are in
circumstances of need, and feeling that
it is a duty and a privilege to assist as
they may be able the family thus de-
prived Of their natural protector, have
determined TO make up a purse for Mrs.
Davis, which viii be sent forward as
soon as practicable.
GEORGIA.
The Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel
thus speaks Of the commercial interests
Of that place: "The leading interests of
Augusta have ever been Of a commercial
character, and ercomparative immunity
from the ravages of war which were
visited with more or less severity on
nearly all the cities Of the South invokes
our profoundest gratitude to the Arbiter
Of events. This immunity, and the con-
centration Of business here during the
war, have given u merchants great adj
vantage in the work of commercial re-
organization, which if judiciously in
formed can scarcely fail to render our
city a favorite emporium, as well for the
fabrics OF northern or foreign production,
as for the staple products Of the country"
SOUTH CAROLINA.
Gov. Orr, Of South Carolina, has writ
ten a letter concerning the attractions
which that State holds out 10 foreign
emigrants, to the Secretary Of the Ger
man society Of New York city. He
speaks Of the general desire there for
foreign immigration, and says that since
the abolition Of slavery no difficulty is
found in purchasing lands Of good quail
ity and in quantities to suit. He be-
lieves no such suspicious time as the
present for acquiring real estate viii ever
occur again. He cites the example Of
very prosperous German settlements be-
fore the war-one, a colony of 1000, in
what he calls the third division of the
state, running up to the mountains and
bounded by North Carolina and Georgia,
which produces all the cereals, beef and
pork, some cotton, and fruits, and
abounds in water power. The Governor
especially invites mechanics with their
tools, remarking that every article OF
furniture in his own pariof, and most Of
il in his house, asmanufactured in New
York, while all the noble woods are pIen-
tiful in his immediate vicinity.
