A Premium for Idleness.

The Ecening Post, in commenting on
the Freedmen's Bureau bill, says:
If men are to be fed by the Govern
ment, because they are starving, or to be
clothed if they are in rags, or TO be cod
died and especially protected by it be-
cause they are ignorant, then The Goy-
ernment simply offers a premium to idle
ness, ignorance and unthriit 1t says
to the ignorant remain ignorant. to the
lazy remain lazy, to the improvdent do
not feel want, paternal Government
will feed and clothe you at the expense
of the industrious and thrifty. The
American doctrine is that if a man can
not take care of himself-the law being
Just and equal-it is because he does not
use the facilities God has given toall men,
and it is therefore right that he should
suffer. Neither the negroes nor the
manufacturers have any right to special
protection. In the period succeeding
the war, as Southern industry was en-
tirely disorganized, it was proper that
temporary special provisions should be
made. But to continue this for "a year
beyond next April or for day longer
than is absolutely required by humanity,
is as the President says, to encourage
interested hopes and fears that the Ma
tional Government will continue to fur
nish to classes of citizens in the several
States means for support and mainten
ance, regardless whether they pursue "a
life of Incidence or of labor, and regard
less of the National authority in times
of peace and tranquility" 1t is to injure
rather than to serve the very class for
which special protection is lhns rrovi-
ded

How Prussia 0utxitted the First Napoleon

From the London Times, Aug. l2l
Sixty years since, after the famous bat
tie of Jena, Napoleon imposed on the
defeated Prussians the obligation of A.
600 men. 1t was impossible to contra
dict the Emperor, and not easy, as might
he thought. to deceive him; but the de-
vice was accomplished by Scharnhorsh
the War Minister Of the time, who not
only evaded the decree of Napoleon, but
laid the foundations of that military
strength which has just been displayed
in a career Of unexampled triumph.
Scharnhorst did restrict the actual or
visible army Of Prussia to the speeihed
numbers, but he kept this army in q
state of perpetual change. Its constitu-
tiou never remained the same for twelve
months together, but resembled the
waters of a lake which receives a river
at one end and discharges it at the
other. As soon as a recruit was thor

Manufacturing Interests of Alabama.

Gov. Patton, of this State, recently
wrote very interesting and very long
letter concerning the manufacturing
interests of Alabama and the Southern
States generally. The National Intelh
qencer, of Washington, in commenting
on it, said:
A new era for industry has opened for
the Southern States, and the sooner the
people accommodate themselves to it
| the better for them and for the whole
country. With involuntary labor has
vanished the old system of planting,
with its large crops and profits, and ex-
pensive living, and the neglect of those
resources which attract good husbandry
and mechanical industry. White labor
or hired black labor will be employed in
the field, but on a smaller scale of cul-
ture, producing as much, after while,
in the aggregate. as the old system, but
with its profits diffused among a greater
number of persons and families
The South has heretofore depended on
the North, not only for cotton goods, but
every other article the product of the
loom, the anvil or the lathe, or of any
sort of machinery or manual labor-from
rat-traps and toys up to steam engines.
Not fashionable carriage, nor hardly
common light wagon or buggy, was
made in the South. Nearly all the man
ufactures of cotton used in the South
were purchased in the North Not even
a broom, basket, or axe handle, could be
obtained without paying tribute to
Northern thrift and industry. Ii was
not enough that the North should have
the chief profit derived from the cotton
culture of the South, but it must also be
really forced to take the entire profit
upon all articles of consumption which
the South received in return for their
staples. In addition to this, the South
depended upon the Northwest for bacon,
-four, lard, butter, and even for corn
meal. Such system could not but end
in ruin if long continued, and if the war
had not broken it up, it must have led to
ultimate bankruptcy and general impov-
erishment.
Gov. Patton understands the lessons
of experience, and, dropping politics for
the while--as we hope other Southern
statesmen will do-he undertakes to
show the Southern people how they may
improve their vast resources. Ii is to
the interest of Northern manufacturing
and commercial classes to cultivate the
kind relations with the Southern people.
Hostile and prescriptive acts will only
serve 10 drive them to resort to their
own resources in all branches of indus
trial effort
