Not Ready for Regeneration.

The Southern people seem determined to
cling to their old ways and die in their social,
political and industrial sins. Slavery over
thrown, and forever prohibited by constitutions
al enactment, the great thing needed to regen-
crate that country is an influx of fresh enter
prise, and the encouragement of free, intelli-
gent labor. A liberal infusion of Yankee spir-
it, capital and enterprise under her genial suns
and with her prolific soil, would convert her
waste places into fruitful fields, rejuvenate her
abandoned plantations, restore her prosperity.
and make even her wildernesses bud and bios
som like the rose. ett f .l.
Let the southern people accept their situa-
ton, lay aside their foolish prejudices, ignore
the spirit as the nation has the organized in
stitut;on of slavery, and fall back upon the
fiat of Omnipotence,- man shall eat his
bread in the sweat of his faee,-accepting in
dustry and responsibility as among the highest
blessings youchsafed by God TO man, and well
come to their midst all who will work upon
this idea, and theirregeneration will come, their
salvation will be secure. .-4s5s /
The Northern people are not vindictive;
they are not revengeful; they wish no i'll to
the people OF the South; they would rather
unite and work with them for the upbuilding
OF their waste places, and for the restoration
of more than their former prosperity and
glory. But the Southern people are not
prepared for this yet; are not ripe for regener-
alton are not willing to be saved. They nrA-
fer to hug their chains and poverty, and sub
sist upon the large investments made by their
fathers in selfnghteousness and chivalric
pride. 5
To show that this is the case we quote from
that eminenty conservative paper, the New
York Commercial AdYertiser--a paper free
from all anaticisms-which says, that not only
is emigration South ceasing, but many who
have gone South are returning. This is espec-
tally the ea-e in Tennessee. In several local
titles the naive population has served notice
on the new corners to quit, while many who,
at the close of the war, proceeded from the
Western States into Tennessee for business and

The Want of Houses in Portlora

The most anxious inquiry at the present
time is what is to be done to supply the want
of houses for our continued increase in popu-
lation. 1t is plainly evident that there is not
now supply of houses for our present wants
to say nothing of our increasing population.
The community seem to be looking for an in
creased supply to some interposition of Provi-
dence, or movement on the part of capital
lists to supply the deficiency. Capitalists will
not supply the demand so long as Government
securities afford more convenient and profit
able investment The remedy must be with
the tenants themselves, of whom at least
great number can avail themselves of it at
once, by discarding more or less of superfui-
ties, and bending their efforts with what means
they can command, to building houses for
themselves. The number of houses built the
last eight years by traders and mechanics, in
proportion to their means and the population
OF the city, is not near so large as it formerly
was. People spend as they go, pay rent, live
extravagantly, and have more ambition to rent
house at $500 or $500 year, than they for
merry did to own house of more modest pre-
tensions.
There are now over one hundred and fifty
good house lots in the city, Gas good as hun
dreds that have already been built upon,) with
IN twelve and fifteen minutes walk of the Post
Omce, which can be purchased for from ten to
niteen cents per foot, costing only from $3.50
70 $ooo lot, or even less, according to size,
and may be purchased with credit at that, if de-
sired. Now let man who has ALWAYS Maid
rent and never made an effort to own house
try an experiment. Let him secure a lot, put
up small cottage house at an expense of 5000
or $500, occupy it, and save his rent until his
means will enable him to enlarge it if found
necessary, and the chances are, as eight to ten
that he will have the house paid for before he
is aware of it. The loose change which has
always been slipping through his fingers with
out his knowing it, will have become firmly in
vested in home for himself and family.
A few years since man over fifty years Of
age applied to me for rent, a man, like hun
dreds Of Others who had always paid rent and
always expected to do so, the idea of ever own.

said to him, "Why not buy lot and build 8
house ?" His reply was, 30, cannot, it take.
all can earn to i've" "How much do yo,
earn weekS" I asked. "Ten dollars" was
MS reply. Then said "put up house, finish
TWO rooms, save paying rent, and when YOU
have saved enough to finish third room dc
IL, and you will have house, and paid for, be.
fore you are aware of it." The man made the
effort and succeeded; he got his house and has
1t paid for; and so it might be with hundreds
OF others. What is wanting is the effort Lei
people make up their minds that they will have
home OF their own, even at the cost of some
| superfuities, no matter how humble it ma,
be, and there will be less hue and cry about
houses to live in. .-...,..-.,. CrrIzEN
