Un earth, to man there Is but one
Ills heart can lovc-his soul can own;
Though myriads Ait before his view,
There is but one to whom he's true
1hat one can sway him to and fro:
Can make him drain the cup Of woe;
Can give him joy. or blast his life;
And that ones name is simply wife.
But in that name a world is sphsred,
A world by,all beloved, revered,
who have the sense to know its worth,
ana spurn the gaudy joys of earth
For that full heart in her dear breast
II rightly prizcd-eternal rest
Is not with blissful sweets more rife,
Than that pune hcart-a loving wife.

It has been said that, at the present time,
not more than one-fifteenth Of the BUSH
ness of cJew York City is based upon for
eign commerce.
The Mississippi drains !, 7S5. 600 square
miles, which is more than half the num-
Der Of square miles in the whole United
| states, and the surface contains IS. OOO,-
900 OF acres Of the finest land IL the
world. It has space for Hundred
and City States Of the size Of Asssachu-
| sets, and were It's population in the same
proportion, it would ooDtsin more than
| five times the present population Of the
| whole United States. At this time not
more than one acre in five is under Gull
tivation, and the vast resources Of coal
and minerals have hardly begun to be
fairly developed. The fourteen States
which comprise this region pay more
than one-helf the taxes, and Work more
than half the Improved land, aud nave
a majority OF the population of the
United States. The value of the annual
commerce. Of the Mississippi is estimated
at $1,000 COO, and the Agricultural Bu-
lreau, basing its calculations upon past
results, estimates that in the year 1900
the cereal products Of this Valley viii
amount to more than 5000. 900 600
bushels.
The values OF crops, says the Philadel-
phis Ledger, as well as Of the produe-
tons OF the mine and the foresti depend
mainly on facilities for transportation,
either natural or artificial. The Missis-
sippi is but one Of the outlets OF the vast
Eegson through which it pssses. The
great lakes open a wide belt OF this coun-
try. aud canals and railroads bring al
most every farm within easy distance OF
natural navigation. The estimated cost
OF conveying g ton Of merchandise a mile
on the ocean q from half s cent TO enc
and 8 half cents on the lakes two cents
on the river two and three-fourth cents
on the canals two to five cents and on
the railroads from three cents to thirteen
and 8 half cents. OF the amount OF
grain received at Chicago, ssventy-fve
per cent. comes by railroad, but from
that city only ten per cent. is sent Esst
by railroad, whilst ninety peT cent. is
sent by the lakes. The merchants, map
ufacturers and consumers Of the East
have an interest in reducing the cost Of
transportation to the lowest possible
point, and this can most easily De ef-
fectsd by improving the wster commit
nications and the construction o. through
roads. Cheap transportation is E Wits.

THE RADICAL

In 2nOther part Of u paper the reader
will fnd q full and correct account OF the
capture Of the steamer Hssper by party
Of men, who, 80 far as we eau gather
from current rUzaors, were employed by
the SMITH-wing OF the Radical party to
overhaul that craft by means Of the tug
Nettie Jones, and destroy the $500 or
more stand of arms recently put of st
cur wharf and put on board OF her, en-
route for Little Rock, Ark.
The facts as to "these arms are, that
within 3 few days after their arrival here
they were stored at the warehouse Of
Conner & RICHARDSON, 3 Radios' firm,
under the surveillance Of the &st-7p0li-
tan Police, controlled by Radical Com
n~1issioners; that on Thursday they we're
shipped on the HesPsr, commanded by a
notedRsdicsl, whose courage, Loyalty"
snd sagscity were pulled to the skies by
the Bulletin and Post and that, notwilb-
standing be had abundance Of wood
on board, TO take their bost to its desti-
nation, Capt. HOUSTON stopped on the
wsy, under prstense of " wooding " at s
point doubtless agreed upon by him and
his coBfsderstes, and there enacted the
farce Of taking to the woods, pursued by
one or more OF the maskeys, seemingly
ingloricusly surrenderiug to the whole
posse what he had sgeEn to carry 10
Little Rock, though in doings % he should
sacrifice ever 60 many lives.
A miserable, contemplate trick OF the
enemy, q wretched subterfuge, to be tele-
grsphed to the North, as it has been, as
the commencement Of 8 "neg rebel
lion," we hope our friends-the iTisDds
Of Law and order-throughout the U0ion,
will spare no pains to silence this fresh
cslumny and libel upon our people, by
the production of the account detailed
by us.
In view of all the facts in the case, and
leading Radicals of Arkansas are
said to have offered rewards as high IS
sIO, 200 for the destruction Of the arms,
do not doubt that this whole affair, in
design and execution, was, SIS above sta
ted, the work Of Memphis Radicals, OF the
a. the Bulletin says " they
are ready for anything"

ATLANTA, October I6.-The Demo-
cratic Executive Committee of Georgia,
to-day, published y preamble and resO-
luton, declaring unequivocally false the
representations made by the Republican
speakers in the President al canvass, that
the Southern people are ia favor of the
establishment OF slavery, referring to
the ratification OF the amendment Of the
Constitution, forever abolishing Slavery
and in~vnlunfary servitude, except for
crime. It inGorses the address OF Rob't
E Lee and others in response, aud other
letters from Gen. Rosecrans, and that
they acquiesced In the present status Of
the colored racs among them, and will
protect them 70 tine faIi extent of their
power, in the right Of the suffrage e.

A late number Of the Knoxville Wig
contains the following -
the New York 9tsIes, r Republican paper
ssys that within the last year the value 81
pro erty in Memphis has decreased over sls,-
A0O0J, and thar there are now over 4G stores
en ply on the Principal streets OF that city.
This is a confession ef the ruinous efeets Of q
Radical reconstructed state administrator
erow1low's government OF Tennessee is the
specimen brick OF the edihce"-RHorr7ae FTsSs
aud HeraId.
Less than q year ago the Board OF Common
Council al. Memphis adopted an Infamous
string or resolutions virtually excluding ali
mea Of NorfEeTa birth from the rights and
privileges o. the city. Our astonishment is
that property hes not deprecated 70 a greater
extent. and that there are net more houses TO
let. This grows out of the policy Of the party
claiming TO be a white mans party and a party
OF native-born TennessseanE. This proscriP-
tive rebel spiri. Is tcjuIlns Nashville, Knox
vide and other large towns in Tennessee, and
is curse to all the States OF the South.
SENIOR EDITOR
We regret that the Press and ReTo}d
was deceived into believing and giving
publicity to such 6 statement, but are
not surprised that the Senior Editor y
should give credenes, and assign such
reasons for a state OF things, which, if it
did exist to any zppreciable extent,
might easily be traced TO the policy he
supports as Governor OF Tennessee and
his c~onnlvance at the theft OF the School
sud other funds Of the State.
orr trade hgs not declined. On the
contrary, it is On the increase. We re-
ceived last year, at an average Of p
cents per pound, $4,000 bales of cotton /;
within los. 900 bales Of what we used to
average in best times before the war, at
s cents per pound. This does not look
like a decline.
As to the 450 stores, we are sble to state
that at DO time in the history Of Mem
phis has there been half that number Of
dwellings and stores together I" for rent"
AZ any one time. On e few Of VI cross
streets, where business, in g small way,
had crept during the war, there may
now be seen E few miserable patchwork
shanties vacant. But on Main and
Front streets, and on Second, most of the
stores are occupied at rates that afford q
living profit to landlords, and that en-
able the occupants to ave Whist two
years ago w@s paid to owners as a surplus
or premium rent.
AS to the "stTing of resolutions" and
The " Rebel spirit" we can only say that
they exist more in the brain Of the Use

AUGUST BELMONT, Chairman Of the
National Executive Committee, in sn
answer dated Thursday to AT inquiry
from Washington, denies the correctness
OF the Statement, and says that such q
movement would be tantamount to an
abandonment of the field to the Rsdi-

opinion as TO the truth Of the matter, and
we prefer ~ await further developments

change that might involve the very life

THE COMMERCE or THEMEssIssIpP
VALLEY.

VALLEY.
The vast interests and commerce Of the
Mississippi Valley is beginning to attract
the attention OF the capitalists Of the
East. Editors, ststisticisns and others
interested in noting the progress of the
people and the rapid development OF this
portion Of the country, are i~nStituting
contrasts that must in the end 90 f8r to-
ward achieving for Us the Congress casl
aid to which we are entitled, and the
emigration that rapid lntercommunica-
ton and the construction Of gigantic
public works will compel. In the At
lantic Almanac for 1869, just published,
we find an article on this section worthy
the attention of our readers, and which
we ~synopsise for their benefit.
The Indian wars and the Revolution
carried the limits Of the far West to the
Ohio; then to the Mississippi afterward
10 the Missouri, when the Mexican war
and the discovery Of gold in California
removed that mystic boundary to the linn
its OF the continent on the Pacific Coast.
Hence the States Of the great Valley, in
future geographical divisions OF the
United States, viii be clsssed as forming
the "MiddIe States" Treating Of this
great "Middle Division the Almanac
sets forth that "the Atlantic seaboard of
the United States extends about $500
miles, and the Mississippi and is tribu-
tsries open up az inland navigation Of
6 1000 miles, upon the bosom of which is
now nosting an amount of commerce
three times as great in value as the whole
foreign commerce Of the country. In
former times the trade with foreign ports
was looked upon as our most important
interest. 1t is now dwarfsd By the trsns-f
p~ortatIon and handling Of domestic pro-:
duee for Domestic markets. IN 1866, the
entire product Of the United States was
g, eO0.o09Od0. Its exports were lees than
one-fifth Of this amount. leaving four
ntths 10 be exchanged betweenthe states.
