Sound Advice.

The Selma Times and Messenger ut
tiers some very excellent advice to the
people of the South. 1t says:
The event Of the year upon Which
we are just entering will probably
virtually decide the question yet I'M
Settled-ter~ years, at least. What
that decision will be, Heaven only
knows. We can only wait and watch
and pray.
This year, we of the South mast
lcdtch the contest, taking no part in
it, holding ourselves ready to act
only when our action shall be decis-
i've. We should look to our materi.
III interests, open mines, start facto-
ries, make railroads, build up towns
and cities, produce cotton and corn
and meat--thuS increasing our pow
cr aud securing our independence Of
factions and parties and sections.
Oulitime will come, atterawhiIe. Pa,
thence, industry, cndurance-thcsG
are the virtues for, us to cultivate.
We must learn to "labor and wait"
Railroads and factories Will give us
population; cotton will give us gold;
corn and meat will make us lndepen-
dent.
The past belongs to history; the
future is inevitable. we should rot
waste our strength in fruitless Ell
beavers to do the irrevocable, nor
frtter away our energies in id.c
struggles with destiny. We may re
main united: we may ill onr cribs
with corn and our smoke houses with
meat; we may put gold i'll our peck
e>s; and then when the opportune
moment comes, and come it will, we
may make our voices heard, from
ocean to ocean. and then the stone
broken by the destroyers may be.
come the chief in the temple.

The Future Of the South.

The Aberdeen Examiner has an ex.
celIent article on the prospects of the
year, and thus discourscs on the fu-
ture of the South
The South has a great future be-
fore her, and though she has the skel-
etOn Of Revolutionary failure in her
house, she will soon give. welcome
to the angel Of prosperity, and be
able to laugh the merry laugh of the
fat, While the rest of the nation shall
dance upon Goals.
Be hopeful, be patient, the bright
day is daW ming; the cnigrant will
seek your lands, aUd the mechanic
will rear the majestic factories upon
your rivers. Even now there are
many who read these lines, who are
the pOssessors of money that is burn

Of affairs will not last long; ere the

Southern Investments-Trade and
Finance.

A New York special of the 31st, to
the New Orleans Times, con Ceys the
following information
Quite a heavy speculative turn for
Southern Investment is manilesting
itself. One statement puts the amount
going South tor this purpose, at three
hundred thousand dollars per day.
Another and moro accurate estimate
puts the drain at about million per
week.
Land is the favorite investment,
and it is thought in Wall street cir
Giles that the prices asked two years
since, hardly over a foruth Of present
values.
Southern railroads are also receiv-
ing considerable attention.
Money is very tight, caused partly
by the pres sure on banks for stock
speculatiOns, but much more largely
by the drain South. Business is
rather dull.
The general political sentiment is
apprehensivc of renewed agitation on
the reassembling of Congress.

The Dry Tortugas Prisoners.

\ recent Washington dispatch
leads to the hope that the unfortu-
nate prisoners, confined at Fort

may soon be relieved. We pray
Heaven that this may provo true,
and that the hour is approaching
when the Government of the Uni

1t is surmised that some attention
was given to the proposed release Of
all the political prisoners, including
those at the, Dry Tor,ugas. The

a matter over which they have no
