, THE CONDITION OF FRANCE.

The New York correspondent Of the
Philadelphia Ledger, writing on Thursday,
says = s1A -f.- fti- ire
Large purchases Of hay have just been
made IN this market, on account of the
french government. This fact together
with recent heavy purchases of horses for
the same parry, and the enormous accumu
lation aof bnltion in the bank Of France
tequal to $259,000,e00 ia gold, now Is
looked upon by not few Of the longest
heads, in financial and business circles
here, as indicative Of q coming war-not.
wfthstanding the Emperor's protestations
that the empire Is peace. T
Private letters from intelligent sources
on the other side fall in with this expecta.
, ton. They say there is much dissztisfac-
'tion of a political character beginning I'd
manifest Itself in very unnnistaksble forrAs
among the masses Though the public jour,
nals are silent on the subject and that tho
Emperor 20 avert trouble at home, may
deem. it Pelilic TO get upa war with his
neighbOrs. That, we are assured, is the
certain driftof all his later movements.

SOUTHERN REPOSE NECESSARY
TO SOUTHERN PROSPERITY.

From tho Richmond Whig.
There is nothing so necessary to Southern
development and prosperity as peace, re-
pose and a good understanding between the
two races in the Sonth. Such a good un-
derstanding is as important to the one race
as to the other. The only possible benefit
that can accrue from agitation and conflict
in the South viii enure TO the few white
adventurers who come from the North in
pursuit of Office. They know that good
understanding between the two races would
dash all their hopes, Illustrate all their
plans, and send them back to the places
whonce they came on their misehievous err
rands. Give us but peace, and good reIa-
tions between the two races, and we will
enter on career ofunexampIed prosperity
in whose benefits all will participate Our
oolored population will go to work with
serene minds, and instead of giving up their
thoughts to politics, they wiii think about
adding to the comfort Of their families.
Since this agitation commenced, the best
ofthem have but lived from hand TO mouth,
1t is time they were improving their for
tunes and surrounding themselves with
home comforts. This will be the natural
results of that steadiness and rehectiom
which will come from the restoration of
the friendly relations that formerly sub
sisted between the two races. As for the
whites they have and can have no ineen-
tive to a conflict with the blacks so long as
the latter avoid aggressiVeness and mani
fest willingness to work, Our feelings
and our interests all concur to make us cul-
tivate a good understanding with the blacks.
With rspese and friendship we will have
the labor we want and will be enabled to
duplicate and reduplicate production.
With peace and friendship we will present
such attrac ctiOns TO immigration and capi-
tai as cannot be resisted. Every capitalist
and every immigrant will want labor, and
the wages OF the laborer will increase. The
negro will be infinitely better of than he
has been since the war, and be in condi-
ton 10 provide for his family not only
necessaries, but comforts and luxuries.
The carpet-baggers and adventurers will
disappear as soon as the relations that
ought 10 exist between the two races are
established. Those of either color who
talk glibly abont conflict between the
whites and blacks az il il were 10 be de-
sired, have not reflected upon the subject
like rational beings. II would be greater
curse even than the war through which we
passed No, we mast have peace and
good understanding, and 10 that end
the leagues must be broken up. We
must help the negroes to break them mp.

To the Editors Of tho Union and Dispatch.
CLEVELAND, Tenn, August is, 1865
Since my last visit to this region, the pub
| lie schools in this city and in other parts of
the county have been organized and put
into operation in separate buildings for the
colored and white population, and are gain
ing rapidly upon the favor ofthe public; the
| ephere of religion has been enlargedby the
organization of an Episcopal Church the
manufacturing facilities have received an
addition OF fine grist mill, and the farm
ing population has been increased by the
coming in of fifteen industrious Northern
families. Arrangements have also been
made for the railroad from Ducktown TO
Cleveland. This certainly is road which
will abundantiy repay the liberality manifest
ed toward il by the State. Serving as link
which connects the ports of Wilmington,
Beaufort and Charleston with MeEaphis on
the Mississippi, it will, at the same time, if
connected with the North Carolina rail-
roads double the net earnings of the Duck
town companies mining timber, wood and
charcoal will be chiefly obtained from the
Oooee river, all mining supplies and espe-
cially labor will find their way to Ducktown
al reasonable prices while the freights of
copper will be brought to a minium. The
fsllon the Ocoee river amounts to $50 feet in
| % miles between the Ducktown mines and
Parks mill. Among the firms in Cleve-
land l mention that Of Cross and Rey-
nolds. BY the energy with which they
engage in the manufacture Of every species
of conveyance, by their agitating the great
subject ofimproved agriculture and by the
introduction Of the most improved plows
aud labor saving implements, they do their
part in making this region attractive to
those who are accustomed to these improve
ments and know how 10 value them. The
property Of the celebrated Ladds Springs
(chaly beate and sulphur embracing 600
acres, OF which l50 are bottom land and
under cultivation, will be readily acces-
sibse by the Ducktown and Clevevand,
being distant from it only seven miles.
Among other items, ! learned by the way
are the following two: First It Is UNDER
stood that Boston company will build
without delay, thirty miles of Mills Val
ley RAILROAD, (from Trenton to Valley
Head, which is TO connect Cincinnati with
Mobile. Second. The Rev. Mr.. Riugo, a
Catholic Priest, ia engaged in the starting
or the erecting Of churches at Franklin,
Columbia, Fayetteville, Winchester, Ira
oey City and in. Humphreys county. His
labors are highly acceptable 10 the immi-
grants 10 whom they are specially directed,
and he is giving an example which others
would DO wen to follow.

DESTROYING THE COT.ToN WEI

aIt,will be seen by the following para
graph, from the Mt. Pleasant CTexas) Press,
that the plan of defeating the raVages Of
the coit0a worm by building fires in the
fields at night has been successfully tried
in Texas
"We are requested to say for the benefit
of our farmers that these cool nights are
the very time that the cotton worm Will
make its appearance, and our farmers
would do well, and save hundreds of dol
lars by it, to build large torchfres, every
night for two or three weeks, in and around
their fields. Our informant tried it last
year, and it proved to be valuable reme-
dy, for he made twenty bales to where his
neighbors made one of of the same num-
Der Of acres. We learn that the cotton
worm has made its appearance in Wood
and Upshur counties"

it-over one hundred and, fifty'six and

years Of peace and Of Radical rule The
Secretary of the Treasury himself, in his

comparison as between, to quote his own
language, 'the condition of the Treasury 4
at the time the war was drawing to- a /
close" and the condition Of the Treasury ]
when Congress met in its late session.
