The Need of Restoration.

The New Hampshire Daily Union,
published at Manchester, in that
State, says that never, during the
last thirty years, except Il short time
during the carly days of the war, has
tho cotton and WOODEN manufacturing
business been in such q depressed
condition. The mills are running at
a loss in Lowell, Lawrence, and most
OF the other manufacturing towns in
Massachusetts. and throughout New
England. The Union says that the
Manchester mills and print works
have goods on hand unsold to the
amount Of $4,000, 1000. The same
state of things exists in other es
tablishments-onc manulactory hay
ing sunk $4,000 within q few
months.
In addition to This statement of the
factories, it is said that the shoe bust
hess, at Lynn, and other large shoe
manufacturing towns III New Eng
land, IS in very depressed condi-
tion, as compared with what it has
been i'll former years, when orders

rhe True Capffai for boys.

The True Capifnt for boys.
( Il The commercial failures in the bu-
siness metropolis Of the Union, and
the disastrous consequences which
follow them, not only to employers,
but employees, elicits from the New
York San an editorial, giving some
good advice to parents, the main fea-
ture of whichis that boys should be
taught some trade or handicraft
Every day, the Sun says, there arein-
stances Of men slipping from the
highest rounds to the lowest ono in
the ladder of wealth. Business men
find themselves engulphed in the sen
of financial embarrassment, from
which they emerge with nothing but
I, their personal resources to depend
upon for living. Clerks, statesmen
anl others, find themselves thrown
out of employment, with no prospect
of speedily obtaining places which
they are competent to fill, and with
no other means of gaining liveli-
hood. The Sun thus states the case
with more immediate reference to the
unemployed young men and the un-
fortunate business men of that city
"How many men there are in this
city to-day, some of whom have fami-
lies dependent upon them for sup
port, who bewail the mistake they
made in not learning useful trades in
their younger days? There are hun
dreds of them. There are men here
who have seen better days, men OF
education and business ability, who
envy the mechanic who has sure
support for himself and family in his
hnndicraft. Parents make great
mistake when they impose upon the
brain of their boy the task of sup
porting him without preparing his
hands for emergencies"
There is much truth in the fore
going paragraph, and its inculcations
are peculiarly applicable ut this time
to the boys of the South. Thousands
and tens of thousands of the people,
who were able to give their boys a
liberal education, have been reduced
to comparative poverty, and their
sons not having been trained to work,
are now at Il loss, however willing
they may be to enter some field OF
industry to obtain employment. AS
our practical cotemporary says, emo
man is poor who is the master of n
trade" The South needs reconstruc c.
ton, not merely political, but mate
rial. Her towns and cities, to great
extent, have to bo rcbuilt; her aSri-
cultural implements to be replaced
her railroads and other enterprises to
be renewed and recuperatcd; and in
all this great work, she will need, for
years to come, not only the bone and
sincw, but the mechanical skill Of
many artisans and trndesmen. If she
cannot procure them at home, they
must come from abroad. Which DO
Icy is the best, it is easy to deter
mine.

The Charleston Mercury states That
United States MarshalSJ r. M! Ep-
ping has appointed Chas. M. Wilder
(colored) his deputy for the city of
Columbia. Marshal E. says that the
white men who can take the oath are
not fit to hold the Office; he appointed
one and he had to be removed in
few days. This, we believe, is the
first colored officer appointed in this
State. Wilder has always borne the
character of sober and Industrious
man.
