eouraged. The elose Of the war found
their heArlhstones desolaie indeed, But
the Southern people did not long replne.
That sublime energy innate to the ehival-
rie Southern heart hai a new aud wide
geld for display, and RICH, nobly did the
people set about retrieving their fallen
fortunes. The experiences Of the war had
demonstrated the fact that the South was
able to render herself independent Of New
England. Cotton manufactures began to
spring up all over the South. Despite the
ollous reconstruction laws nnd test oaihs
aud military sauaps, the South Is once
more on the road 10 prosperity. Having
afforded the world two sublime lessons,
having electrified Il with deeds Of daring
and selEsaeriice that recalled the days Of
old; having shamed into silence the tongues
tlia, grew eloquent ieploring the degener-
aey Of modern times, hy achievements so
brilliant and sacrifices so unparalleled, by
splendid persistence and noble endurance,
having furnished future generations an
example Of courage and patriotism that
throws ancient Greeks and Romans In the
shade; having shown in defeat that forth
tude which benrs up under the most adj
verse circumstances; that suffers, yet does
not submit 10, oppression; that cndures
without endorsing wrong; that struggles
with fortune as IL did with for,e; that bears
up against want as ii dill against numbers.
Having, MS VIC have said, given TO the
world these sublime lessons, and having
contributed to history one of its brightes,
pages, the South is now about to show the
world the marves that hands forced TO
drop the sword have wrought with the
plCwshare. The desolated land is begin
ming to blossom aud bloom like garden;
on every hand resounds the hum of indus
try, and the very air is musical with the
deep respirations of labor, and loud, mo-
uotonous breathings Of laborsaving ma
cbinery. An era Of nnexamped prosper
iiy is about to dawn upon the South.
