The Crops in The South.

"A gentleman who is keen observer and
one who possesses ample mtans of knowing
the truth whereof he affirms, said to us some
days since, that his people, meaning the peo-
pie of the South, were fast becoming rich
that the policy now introduced of raising the
cereals and other products, which constitute
Tie sustenance for man and beast, has cna-
bed them to hold their cotton crop from the
clutches of the factors, or middle men, who,
for the last few years, have been accustomed
TO bear the cotton market, and compel the
planters to sell at their prices. BY pursuing
the policy of raising a suficiency of food,
they can hold their cotton till it brings prices
which will afford them the just profits there
on toiwhichithey are entitled. -.a'is''tl pr
1t is now ascertained that the cotton crop
this.year will reach very nearly three millions
of bales-two millions eight hundred thous-
and at least.r.sT This, we think, is q full aver
age.
The South not only has good crop Of
cotton this year, but they have an abundance
flood of their own production. The Liv-
cfpoM Spectators in cotton cannot, there
fore control them as they did last year A
year age. these factors, as they are caIled.set
to work 10 bear the market, and they did it,
and proftaisly too, for themselves. A year
ago, the cotton which brought only and
sti. per pound now commands 104d. and
Lid. Thisis "a wide margin for profit. ssii
sTThls result is one of grand and significant
import, because It shows conclusi vely the
superior advantages of free labor, Philan-
tdroplsts, humanitarians, and political econ
eInists, have been endeayering for years: to
impress upon the Southefn mind, that. the
free labor system would prove immensely
more profitable than the slave labor system,
ald this problem is now solved. and what
Eill be its results Kindness 10 the negro,
I the acknowledgement of all his fights. civil,
personal and political, leaving social equality
to be determined by other and different in
1iuences over which law and constitutions

gam by this new condition of things, he
cause he will be urged forward by his am
natloh to achieve success, a competency. and
fortune. and the white man will gain, he

MAIDEN ROCK.
Building. Trade, Business, DC.

MAIDEN Rock, Dec. 80, 1867.
Ed. JOURNAL AS promised you let
ter from this place. will endeavor to make
my word good by giving you short one at
this time.
Maiden Rock, like most eff the villages of
Pierce County, is growing. There has not
been as much improvement here this year as
there was last. yet business has nearly dou-
bled. Two years ago there was only one
store here now there are three. and j be
lieve all doing well. The country back of US
is filling up fast Spectators who have held
their land for ten or twelve years. begin to
think it is time to sell. and quite a large
amount of land has been sold the past sum-
mer. About one hundred fsmilies have gone
back of us the past season, and still they are
coming. A portion Of those coming in are
Swedes. and they all appear to have plenty of
money. They are both honest and industri-
GUS, and make good citizens.
The Improvements in the village made in
1867 are as follows:
Alex. Van Wrinkle, raising store. putting
under a basement story for restaurant.
Morris Denhan, a dwelling house.
J. H. Steel, charging his blacksmith shop.
S. NJ. Sands. new barn and granary.
Theo. Otis, DIV, Hing house.
NJ. ID. Abbott. barn.
]. D. Trumbull. painting his dwelling
house.
Mr.. G. r. Tayl Tor, OF Niagara Co., N. Y.
has bought the steam mills in this place. and
has had one of them fitted up for cutting
slaves and heading. and will commence oper-
ations eaily in The spring. Mr.. Taylor is a
stirring business man, and has the capital 10
push the thing along.
Mr.. John Bowers will have his wagon shep
ready for business in the spring.
Mr.. S. Brewer has rented his magnificent
saloon, on the corner of Chestnut and Main
Street. to Mr.. Killum Easy, of Lake City,
where MAY be found the choicest yiahds at all
hours. Mr.. d. has always AN eye to the well
fare of suffering humanity. So YOU see we
are jogging along steadily (as We hope) TO
wealth and fame.
Christmas was celebrated here by dona-
ton party at The Doughty House, in favor OF
Rev. Joel Brown, gotten up by the ladies
of Maiden Rock, which was a success. as the
receipts showed eighty dollars. and no one
paying over dollar. One hundred aud thir-
ty sat down to a fine supper a man could
wish. All thanks are due 10 the ladies Of
Ma;Ia,, Rock apd vici,,itv
There is another party, in the shape OF a
ball. to come off New Years. WHICH will be
still larger. think this is for the benefit OF
the Maiden Rock Band.

Business enterprises just as naturally grow
into " monopolies." as the seed produces the
plant. and the limit of their changes is the
point at which the public will no longer SUBJ

protest and rebellion OF the business men
against the high tariff Of the other compan-

another similar protest. followed 10y = redUc

The tIue remedy for the Express burden, is
for the Railroads to do most of this business
themselves. This carrying business, the
most lucrative of any. the Railroads part
with for a trihe. and Express companies grow
OPulent from their stupidity. Let Railroads
do this business. and they can well afford to
make a large reduction in the fare for travel
and tariff for heavy treights.

The object OF study in our schools should
be mental discipline. to wake up the mind
and give it power and energy.
Those studies which will best do this are
most profitable, and he is the best teacher
who will best draw out and develop the mem
tai energies of his pupils.
Physical strength is acquired by lifting and
severe muscular exercise. This exercise
may be of no value in ITSELF. Swinging dumb
bells is of no worth only as it gives strength
and elasticity, and so gives power flr action
not otherwise possessed.
The value of an exercise in Mental Arith-
metic is rot in the information given and
the fact of obtaining correct answer merely.
but in the meat.I exercise of its solution.-
The most difficult method is often the best,
and he the best friend who leads to the desir-
ed end by rugged path.
Teachers often fail by giving assistance.
through mistaken kindness, 10 their pupils
They are pleased to receive aid in lighting a
heavy burden but if they are to be made
strong they must bear the load themselves.
Many faithful teacher has been blamed by
parents because their children did not receive
aid in the solution of difficult problems,
when, in fact, lie was doing all in his power
to give them capacity for an independent
solution. The temptation to divert the true
principles of education for present popularity,
is great but the true teacher will in time
reap his reward in the evident mental growth
OF his pupils.
Let mental stimulus and methods be
given but the labor must be done by the
pupil. We earnestly exhort all the students
in our schools to discard all Keys, Transla-
ytions and the thousand "helps over hard
places which may tempt them to rely
neither on teacher, school-mates. or parent,
but to grapple with the difficulties in their
way with all the might of those mental
powers which the Creator has given them -
We would that teachers nse their utmost
exertions in arousing the latent energies OF
their pupils and building the fires of genius /;
but that they beware how they dwarf the
powers and weaken the energies of those
committed to their training.
Better never reach the summit of the hill
of science than to be carried thither on the
shoulders of another. r.
