What the South May BE.

There is not much in the Washing
ION Chronicle that Southern editors
care to reproduce; but the following
extract from one of its articles, rs to
what the now excluded ten Southern
States may become, contains much
truth. 1t is worthy of perusal by
our people, rs it gives them good
ground for hope and encouragement,
if they can ever he in situation to
develop their resources:
Once admitted into the halls of
Congress, they will hold, and that
very shortly, not the balance, but the
weight of power. The late insurrec-
tiOnary districts, as we have grown
accustomed to call them, are entitled,
ut rough estimate, to some eighty
or ninety Representatives and some
twenty Senators. A few years, and
this estimate will be doubled or quad. =.
rupled. With free labor and free
schools, the South will leap forward
as no section of this country ever did
before. She is ripe for development.
1t is not with her as with q new and
unpopulated country. All the condi-
tions of rapid and thorough develop
ment are ut hand. Her great cities
are already located; her great lines of
travel are already stretched out; her
forests are broken; her streams known
and navigated; her soils tested; her
mineral treasures tapped. Through
out her territory, courts are open, the
machinery of local and municipal
Government is in working order, and
we'll understood, and schools and
churches are sprinkled from border
&c border. There are no wild and
hostile savages to exterminate; no
impossible mountains to be hewn
through; no malaria or deadly fevers
to be conquered by the slow ap-
proaches of gradual civilization.
All these great obstacles which face
the pioneers Of new country, and
make the march of civilization like
the march of an army, whose fore
most columns, no matter now daring
or fearless, must melt away, have
been overcome. The magnificent,
luxuriant South, bursting with unde-
veloped-perhaps, nndreamed Of
wealth, stands, to-day, ready and
waiting to be entered in and pos
sessed. Like seed sown in good
ground, will turn out all investments
made within her fertile and willing
bounds. She must be, for fhc next
decade, the commercial and financial
Ell Dorado of orr land.
Other things being equal, she will
outstrip the far and unknown West,
simply because she is known and
within reach. Men will not care to
settle Mt the spnls of the Rocky
Mountains and on the boundless
plains, where, at best, they could only
hope to leave to their children the
advantages they may themselves at
once enjoy in fullness in the South
of to-day.

DR.. Cumming, whose prophecies of
tho end of the world have several
times failed, has ventured upon II
new prophecy. He now locates his
"millenium" between the autumnal
equinox of 1867 and the same period
of 1868. The time, according to the
Doctor, is quite short, but his follow
ers, no doubt. believe him as impli-
city now as they have done on pre-
vinns occasions.

POLITICs IN WASHINGTON 1t ap-
pears that the statement published
ny Northern correspondents in re-
gard to white and black voters in
Washington is not correct. The
excess of white voters over the blacks,
ms shown by the books, is G77. There
are, in the several wards of the city,
1900 white voters unregistered, who
were debnrred from registration,
owing to the rush of blacks to the
places of registration. The judges
of registration have "closcd the
books" and have refused to le-opcn
them, but certain parties have taken
ont writ of mdnddmuS to compel
them to, and the case will come up
this week in the court of Gnnc. The
radicals are very vehement in their
opposition. to the re-opening of the
registration books, and have en-
ployed counsel to keep them closed.
The political cauldron is very turbu-
lent ut this time, from four to six
meetings being held every night in
the different wards of the city. Both
parties arc confident of victory.

THE NEWSPAPER. Webster
was right when he remarked Of the
press: "Small is the sum required
to patronize newspaper; amply
rewarded its patron, l care not how
humble and unpretending the ga
zette he takes. 1t is next to impossi-
bio to fill printed sheet without
putting into it something that is
worth the subscription price"

The NORTHERN DEMOCRACY. The
Mobile Advertiser and Register says:
a distinguished conservative in the
Northwest writes thus in q private
letter: 'Do you not remember T
told you that the Democrats of the
North were in earnest? We have
great gains. The ice is broken-the
land will be saved.
Don't discourage us-don't let
Northern Democrats be abused-do
not suffer radicalism to be endorsed
endure, but do not endorse, and all
will be we'll soon. 1 tell you pluck
is at premium now."

MISSISSIPPI. Our advices from
Mississippi are encouraging. A gen

Amitc County have finished planting.
1t says: Zone very encouraging fact
Is, that our farmers arc putting n

potatoes, peas, etc. We like to see
this policy adopted. Better to have
plenty of food without money, than
plenty of money and no food, par
ticularly when NIL of your neighbors
are in the same fiX."

The Irish republic. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1867-18??, 1867-08-17

Our greatest desire is not alone for the glory of Amer
ica but for the benefit of all suffering nations that the
party bearing the banners which is inscribed Universal
Liberty should be ruling for all time to come. We
want who believe in universal liberty on principle
not for accommodation to suit party purposes, We
want who will not stand guard the thrones of
Europe to the tyrants from the outraged people
We want men who, when struggling to establish
Republic in Ireland, will not take sides with monarchy
as the present things who nisrule the country have
done.
In any case, we are for temperance but would beg
of the leaders Of the to risk the chances
of handing the country to the wreckers who are
watching for the breaking up of the ship that has borne
the flag of the nation safely through the bloody of
the late rebellion, by forcing part of the
board at time when the elements look SO threatening

The Harvest.

The fears that made many hearts heavy last spring.
with gloomy orebodngs about the harvest have vanished
away in sunshine and from all parts of this boundless
continent such reports of abundant crops hardly
heard before The teemng earth groans under
the rich load of all of food for and beast and
unless untoward and unaccounabe catastrophe
takes place. the present be the abundant
ever gathered on American SOIL Not only do the ac-
counts report heavy crops of all kinds of cereals for hay
fruit and vegetables equally abundant. The interest
taken in this harvest the intense eagerness with which
specuated it's probable results plain ind
cations of the wants of the nation. Never there
time in the history of America when the best gifts of
nature were sorely needed After four years con-
tnual war destruction of life and property greater
perhaps than any other nation suffered in the
length of time people beginning to realize the
rbe extent of the loss they had suffered and all classes
felt that such thing bad harvest this year would
plunge the country into mseries terrible to contemplate
Happily, all fears at end and great stimulus
to all of business all over the country must result
from this splendid harvest
No people on this continent have heavier interest in
good crops than countrymen. They belong mostly

prospects of cheap food low rents and plenty of employ
ment for the remainder of the season. countrymen
will push all the vigorously in the work that has
for its objects the salvation of their race the regenera
ton of their country, and the rescuing of their

may lead to danger but to go back would certainly
lead to eternal infamy and shame.
Let us, then, hear about the bad times and
the dearness of provisions for negectng our
duty to Ireland. Bad times and an abundant harvest
