 SOUTHERN ENrEkpKIsE.- Many who we, familiar with the Southern newspaper press before the war, and have become acquainted with 1t since, are astonshed at it's vast i'm provement in size, mechanical execution and editorial ability. But they are amazed, above all at the quantity O: advertisements Select ing from few exchanges at random one oi our contemporaries lately counted in the Mo- bile T ibune, of 32 columns, P of advertise mcnts; in the Memphis Commercial, 37 of its IS columns devoted to advertising and in the New 0 leans Crescent, 38 out of 56 The same extraordinary activity in all the South ern newspapers. The smaller towns have each their two or three dailes, running over with the wants, etc.. of the business com munity and the chracter of tn SC advertise ments is no less suggestive than their number
 In fne the business columns of the South ern newspapers indicate that theaentire ma- terial interest of the South is it transition State, undergoing reconstruction. White Ia Dor IS being intoduced; plantations by the thousands are seeking new owners or tenants :: capital is imperatively needed: and the old manual system of industry is about to be re- placed. to a considerably extent, by machi nery. When the South does become settled when it's rich plantations all find owners or tenants, when white labor and improved ma- chinery succeed the indolent gangs of negro laborers, the South will develop resources thae willastonish the world by their magnitude

Losses.
From tho New York World. May a.
The excitement relative TO the fOrgeries
of John Ross have somewhat abated, but
there vet remains in commercial circles a
feeling of uneasiness lest at some unexpected
moment new revelations should be made
of vet undiscovered frauds by the same per-
son who had already duped the banks and
bankers ON Wednesday. Messrs. Speyer
and Howos d Macy were not losers in the
fraud, although their names were forged to
checks which Ross attempted TO negotiate as
genuine. The name of the latter was sub
scrihed to two checks of S54,S00, but as
soon as they were deposited in the bank,
thew were discovered to be forgeries, and
were sent to the purportcd drawers to ex-
anime. BY this means neither the firm of
Howes d Macy nor the Leather Manufac-
turers' Bank have been losers by Ross forg-
ing the firm name of the one and depositing
the check of the other.
The other persons whose names were
forged however, did not escape so easily.
The following figures are the true losses in
