Words OF Wisdom to the South.

~
A Georgia paper--the Columbus Enquirer
gives the men Of the South some wise
counsel. 1t says:
"Hon. John Forsyth, writing from New
York to his paper, the tho Mobile Register,
says Of portion Of Southern Pennsylvania,
over which he has recently travelled:
'The wealth of this country cannot be
justly measured by its population. The i'm
provements in machinery, especially as ap-
piled to agriculture, almost dispense with
human hands and the sweat Of the brow.
They plough, SOW and reap with machines,
and mans only occupation Is to superin-
tend them. Hence, You ride over q country
dotted with farms in high state OF culture
and groaning under crops, and are surprised
at the lack Of laborers and wonder who
does all this work. Capital and science have
supplied the places Of our large gangs Of
negroes and the work goes on as If by mag
ic. Thus Pennsylvania with her three mill
ions of population, enjoys productions equal
to the labor Of six millions. The same pro-
cess would make the South garden of
fruitfulness, the abode Of great population,
and the seat of power
Let US take lessons from our neighbors,
and find compensation for the sudden de-
struction Of our vast labor system. We
have all that Pennsylvania has, In coal, iron
and water power, without her harsh winter
climate. We have products impossible to
her soil. The war has hewn pathway for
Southern energies in new direction. Let
us follow it. encourage men Of labor and
skill to settle among us, capital to export
our latent resources, and train and elevate
the negro to be able to do his part OF the
grand work Of closing the gap in material
civilization which our hardy Northern neigh
bors have for so long kept wide open be-
tween us. BY this path, too, men of TIE
South, We are to recover the political power
to make our rights respected and sure"

THE TELEGRAPH MONOPOLY.

The impositions practiced upon the
public by this monopoly are certainly
sufficiently burdensome and grievious
to be borne-but they are nothing com
pared to those imposed upon the press
Some change is absolutely necessary,
and any alteration would certainly be a
reform. The proposition to place all the
telegraph lines in the hands of the gov
eminent, is one Of doubtful expediency,
and questionable reform but, if it
could be managed as well as ourpostal
affairsare under the present able officers
Of the Department, the consummation
Of such plan is devoutly to be wished.
At present the combination of the four
principal lines in the country, subjects
the public to all those ills which usually
find their source in the "liberalityn of
heartless monopolies.
We have been at some pains to obtain
statistics which show that telegraphing
is the most profitable business in the
country to those engaged in it, and the
most improbable to the press and the
public. The net earnings of the four
telegraph lines which form the grand

the liberal allowance of % per centum
for the working and contingent expenses
of the combination, we have for the net
profits on telegraphing 81 ,55S, 1929, IL
which will allow dividend of 10 per
cent. on the nominal capital invested
in the business, and leave annually a
balance for the sinking fund of $30S, 600

The Associated Press of the country
alone pays more than the twenty-eighl
per cent. for the dispatches it is COM
PEELED to receive and publish, and which,
when not anticipated by the mail, are
generally either the most uninteresting
"balderdashn or fulsome puflery of per-
sons and projects in which the public
have no interest whatever. The press
is thus compelled to pay the entire ex-
pense of the telegraphing monopoly.
1--WE are taxed too heavily, fellow sub
jects, and must dethrone our prince. y
But how to precipitde the revolution, is
the question. Separate action is not
possible, and cooperation has hereto
fore presented many difficulties still
are glad to see that there is a pros
pect of overcoming the annoyances
which beset us. Anew telegraph COM
pany has been established on q more
liberal and equitable basis, and is fast
extending its sphere of usefulness
throughout the country. We allude to

Gently put in successful operation in the
North, its lines being open for business
between Boston, Providence, New York,
Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Washing
ton, and will shortly be extended to the
Western cities, and, with proper in
ducements, to those of the South. This
company offers many advantages, not
the least ofwhich is the transmission of
general news for the press free of charge.
OF course company doing business on
terms so liberal cannot fail to become
popular. AS further reforms, it proposes
more. promptness in the delivery of des-
patches, and correctness in their trans
mission, and will only charge for mes
sages sent, and not for the answers re-
ceived thereto. These are certainly very
fair promises, and as change must be
for the better, we hope the new COM
pany may soon he able to extend its
lines to the pleasant places of the South,
as we are heartily tired of the present
onerous system. We are weary of the
important news" we receive so album
dainty under the present arrangement,
and for which we pay such exorbitant
rates

THE THIRTY-NINTH CONGRESS.
SENATE.

WAsHINGToN, Jan. 18. Mr.. Nesmith
made speech on Mr.. Howe's Joint reso.
ltion to provide for Provisional Govern
ors, in which he endorsed the Presi-
dents policy; and advocated a policy
towards the south; and looked upon
negro suffrage, which he termed
a radical remedy for all ills, as the RENE
dy is worse than the disease; and said
the war was fought to deny the right OF
secession; and to hold that the South
edge secession as having been accom-
plished.
Mr.. Wade gave the President full
credit for what he had done, and hon.
ored him for the manner of doing it;
but he failed to put the keystone upon
the arch he had built, and if left " here 1t
was, ruin would follow. He said to
President Johnson, to the Democratic
party and the people Of the United
States, that he would never yield con-
troversy until all men in America stand
upon equal footing, and equal in every
respect before the law.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
Mr.. Delano, from the Committee on
Claims, made report, asking to be
relieved from the consideration of the
claims growing out of the destruction or
appropriation of property by the army
or navy in suppressing the rebellion, as
to pay all these claims, would embarrass
the public credit and lead to increased
taxation.
The House was engaged nearly all
day discussing the bill extending suf-
frage in the District of Columbia, and
was passed by vote of one hundred and
sixteen against fifty. from giving with
out restriction freedom and elective
franchise in the District of Columbia.

We welcome, with unfeigned gratifi-
cation, the evidence of common sense
and moderation, which we find in the
leading article in the Richmond Times
of Tuesday. Hitherto, that journal
has been as furious as the widest of tire
wild sheets of Richmond; but here is
what it said yesterday: with proper
management, there will be no difficulty
in removing all hard feelings, which
forty years of quarrel and four years of
war have engendered between North
and South. Human history is full of
examples showing that nations and
communities, after years, nay, centuries
of arrangement, have been compelled,
either by force or necessity, to live to-
gether tremendously, and even loving
ly. Life with nations, as well as indi-
viduals, is replete with antagonisms, and
it is in the reconciliation and compro-
mise of conflicting views and interests
that peace and happiness is to be found.
How few nations or men, since human
feet first trad the world, have had their
way, or possessed the fulfillmentof all
their wishes? The majority ifldeed,
we may say all, of the great, prosperous
and happy nations of the world, as they
at present appear upon the map, are
composed of elements which long
warred and battled with one another
before coalescence brought repose and
tranquility"

We do not think that conspiracy ex-
listed among the exConfederate soldiers
employed in the ordnance and other
departments at Fortress Monroe. The
government has, we presume, some full
reason of it's own, for directing the dis
change, on Monday, from the service on
the public works, of all men who pre-
viously served in the Confederate army.
Indsod the agent of the National Ex-
press was obliged to quit the point. and
Colonel Baylor, the ordnance officer, has
been called to Washington, to make ex-
PLANTATION on some points to the Secre-
tary of War. 1t is quite possible that
there was some idle talk among the la.
bOrers upon the subject of rescuing Mr..
Davis; but that an organization existed
with intent to do so, we do not believe.
We believe that.the whole mischief was
brought about, by young clerk of Col.
Baylor, who persisted in wearing Con-
federate uniform in the office in the
fort We regret that so many persons
should be thrown out of employment at
this season Of the year.
