EDroRs CLARION Tn my ramblos, to AMI
fro, am iuterrogatcd( BY politicians, owe
and over again. as to what ! think Of tn
real status Of the Soutb, 4, Aud in tho Amer
lean Congress, II seems TO be the all en-
crossing question And each man seems b
DO viewing II from his own stand point, ant
boiling over with pafriotlsm and Loyalty, ha
"a plan to propose for restoration" 'recop
struction,," ''re-cuperation" "re,juvenation,
and all the other ere's" SO, that the grea
multiplicity Of plans, seems TO prevent thu
adoption, or enactment. of any one and thu
consequence is the Southern States are still
cleft out in the cold" Well for us, that w
are located in mild and genial climate,
During tho slavery agitation in Congress
some years ago, it was shrewdly suggested
by wag that, 'Irft were not for the mig
gers there would BIO no Congress" And 81
it would seem to spectator, at present
that fit were not for the peculiar status Of
the Southern States, there would be no Con
gress, OF apparently nothing for it to do--a'
as this one theme engrosses, well nigh, ali
their time.
In the meantime, the people of the South
are moving, quietly attending TO their own
business under their existing State Govern
ments, paying little or no attention to thu
angry discussions Of politicians in, or out OF
Congress, as to their peculiar status, having
more interesting and important business to
engross their attention. ssv-, t,M
Being b professional raueie,'-or as friend
of mine would say, belong to the "7rdreling
Connection"-I have fine opportunity fol-
feeling the public pulse, and forming cor
rect opinion of the prevailing spirit of the
South, As ], go erery ichere, and see every body
yes, and withal, taik to nearly ere,g body
l find that among the people-the masses
that restoration" or Reconstruction" with
them, means the recovery, as far as practi-
cable, their lost and ruined fortunes. re-
pairing the ravages of the late war, and de-
veloping the material resources of q great
country by tie cultivation Of its leading
staples. To be sure, they would be glad to
see the good old Douglas doctrine revived,
so that they might be permitted to manage
their own municipal affairs, in their own
way,subject alone to the Constitution of the
United States" and the laws made in pur-
suance thereof With this they wonld be
content ssera
Within the last few days have passed
and repasscd, over nearly all the Railroads
in Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama, and
find that the engrossing topics of ,conversa-
tion among the people are, prospects Of the
crops, the best plans for employing the freed
men, and probabilities of securing the requi-
site amount of labor--cotton and sugar
sugar and cotton-the great staples to "re-
construct their fortunes-and the practical
bility and propriety Of establishing Man
ufactories in the South, so as to rely more
fully upon their own resources. Now all
this is natural Indeed the whole labor sys-
tenn of the country having been so suddenly
it is natural that this question
alone should occupy much oftheir thoughts
Aud it is truly gratifying to see how readily
and how rapidly the people are adapting
