Of California 1t would be distributed not only among
our own manufactures, but portions doubtless
would be distributed to foreign countries. More
especially may America be encouraged to prosecute
the industry in view OF the exemption Of our
continent from the malignity among silk worms
now prevailing in Europe. When every silk country
in the world shall have become infected then the
supply must cease and we are not nfar from that
now free. He enforces his views by showing the
great skill Of the American people In manufactures

the successful rearing Of the silk worm.

From the Mt. Vernon Banner.1


General Banning i'm the Sonth-
He is delighted with the Conn
try and the PeOPle-He NIaketh
a Democratic Speech.
On board of train on the Mississip-
pi & Tennessee railroad, on the I'd inst,
party of gentlemen returning from an
immigration Convention, at jackson,
held meeting, and were addressed by
several gentlemen, among whom was
our distinguished townsman, General
II. B. Banning. We are so pleased with
the Generals speech that we are con-
strained to present it to the readers of
the Banner.
The fact stated by the General that
"after the war was over he had gone to
work selling machinery in the South"
is news to us but it must be true OF else
he would not have said so.
We copy from the Memphis Ledger
of April 8, the following report of Gen
eral Banning's speech:
Before the meeting adjourned, the pres
ence of a very modest gentleman was
made known by one of the delegates,
Brig. General H. B. Banning. At the
urgent request of the meeting the Gen
eral expressed his great pleasure as well
as his surprise at the remarks of those
whose deliberations he had just heard,
being accidently on the same car. He
had been in the Federal army during
the whole war, fighting for what he
thought right, as he believed We were
doing the same thing. After the war
was over he had gone to work selling
machinery in the South; and was
Just on his return from Holmes
County, Mississippi, where he had
been selling machinery for saw mills, and
thus doing little towards reconstruc
tion" in practical way. When he left
home, some of his friends expressed tht
opinion that he would never return; ant
so much had been lately said about th,
unsafety of Northern mans life in th'

COLUMBUS, o., MONDAY MORNING.,

South, he himself had apprehensions that
he might be daily insulted, if nothing
worse should befall him. On the cars,
unknown to a soul, he has heard and list
ened attentively to allthe speeches made;
and they were made without the speak
er's being aware than an ex-Federal sol
dier was anywhere near them. He could
not refrain from quietly expressing to
one of the delegates what he soon
said to all that, could that meeting be
transferred to Mt. Vernon, Ohio, where
his home was, and could his people have
heard the generous, liberal, kind senti-
ments which he had just heard from the
lips of Southern gentlemen, he was con-
fident that his little township would fur
nish at least one hundred immigrants for
this land of yours-just such men as
you need-men of industry and integri-
ty-not adventurers or office seekers ;;
not men who would deny you the privi-
leges claimed for themselves; but men
who, while doing their whole duty in de-
veloping the resources of this fertile and
charming country, would insist that
its white population. born and raised
here, should have all the privi-
leges of free American citizen.
General Banning said his trip
was vastly interesting to him, for while
he knew how gallant our men were in
war, he now knew how generous, liberal
and just they are in peace. He said his
people knew but little in the South; and
that it would be his great pleasure to
tell them on his return home, that there
were attractions down here of which
they had no conception, while life and
property would be protected as with
them at home. He spoke of the hard
climate at the North, and mentioned the
fact that the food required for horses, COWS
and mules during the winter in that coun-
try, would keep these animals in good
condition all the year round in this. He
closed by expressing his conviction that
if some of the gentlemen whom he had
heard would go to Ohio and explain
their plans for inviting immigration here,
the effort would succeed beyond the ex-
pectations of the most sanguine. There
are thousands of families there now look
ing westward for settlements who would
turn their faces southwark to this fertile
land and genial climate if our plans
were explained to-day. After conclud-
ing his remarks, delivered with the
courteous elegance of gentleman and
the frankness of a soldier, the meeting
rendered the General hearty vote of
thanks for what he had so well and so
timely said. The meeting then ad-
journed, requesting the city papers of
Memphis, and all other papers interested
in the subject, to publish these proceed
ings.

NEW YoRK, April 22, 1865.

y 2 ! New YORK, April 90, 1868.
Limited as may be the interest which
your readers take in the South and
Central American matters, the late events
transpiring in those regions may, never
theless, have considerable influence over
the actions which our Government may
have to take at a, perhaps, not very re-
mote period. Our neighboring republic
Mexico appears especially to have
plunged back into a state which may
render the interference of the United
States necessary. Liberal minded per-
sons in the Mexican Capital urge Con
gress to the passage of laws, authorizing
the construction of railroads to the Rio
Grande, but their advice seems to be of
but little avail, for according to the la
test dates from there nothing has been
done in that direction, and nothing will
probably be done during the present
session of the Mexican Congress. Now
that the Pacific railroad is establishing
branch in a southwestern direction
through New Mexico, with a view to
avoiding the snow, which may seriously
interfere with communication during the
severe season on the northern branch of
the road, capitalists would be easily
found to furnish the necessary funds for
railroad extension from American ter
ritory through the Northern States Of
of Mexico. The accomplishment of this
plan, it must be feared, will, however
| be at dim distance. The Mexicans are
too busy with their pronunciiamentoes
their highway robbers in the immediate
neighborhood of their capital, and theil
squabbling with British and foreign YES
| sells generally, to- devote serious atten
ton to Improvements which alone could
tear that unhappy country from its pres
ent sunken condition The prospects OF
the West India, Islands are not mucl
more bright than in Mexico Revolution
