Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1869-02-03

Everything points to an industrious
future for the South. Unmitigated po-
litical sbuse, and the exercise Of the NEST
odiOus tyranny, have ceased to affect our
people. Surprised by the results Of las;
year, in abundant crops and hard cash
receipts, they have determined that
hereafter, while they do not entirely sus-
pend their interestin political affairs, they
will apply themselves more and more
closely to business. The press, too, mind
ful Of the interests of those for whom
they cater, are urging upon their at
t%entiOn, in multiform shapes and ways,
new industries-new methods Of farm
ing, and manufactures Of every kind,
likely to prove remunerative. Ststistics
as to what in this last line has been &c.
cOmplished since the /" surrender" have
had widely extended publication, not
only to the encouragement Of Southern,
but Northern capitalists, many Of whom
have investigated the statements for
themselves, and finding them "~fact,"
have determined to investamOng US, and
identify themselves personally and per-
manently with our industrial progress.
Georgia, Florida, Alabama and the
CsrOlinas seem to be thus far
the especially favored Of these
classes. But recently, notwithstand-
ing the threatened militia, and the
fearful and wonderful" proelams-
tions Of the Governor, Tennessee
has begun to fill 8 place in the
Northern public eye, and we hear
OF emigrants finding their way beyond
the confines of PLUTO's immediate do
minions in the East. The middle Dor.
ton Of the State is receiving accessions
OF population-industriOus, thrifty men
and women, with more or less OF capital,
and an energy that will be felt beyond
their own immediate circles. And men
Of wealth are not wanting to take an in
ferest 10 that delightful section. At
present, as we learn from the Nashville
Banner, the following named gentlemen
from Pennsylvania and New York, capt.
tslists and manufacturers, are %sojourn-
ing Ia our State on 8 tour OF observation;
seeing with their W eyes, and hear
ing with their own care" with a view to
advsntaging themselves Of the min sites
the mineral wealth and other induce
ments for capital, Of which Tennessee is
50 rich. They are Hon. ASA PARKER
and Col. SAMUEL PATTERSON, o. Maueh
Chunk, PENN DIR. B. w. WEAVER
sad ID. THOMAS, Esq, Of Catoosa,
Penn; Judge WILLIAM MARSH, OF
E1ston, Penn; Capt. s. w. HIsE,
Of Allentown, Penn, and Hon.
3. q. CLARK, Of New York CITY.
Messrs. MARSHALL P. WILDER and
ROBERT MANNING, of Boston, and
Messrs. GEORGE ELwANGER and P.
BARRY, Of Rochester, n. Y, officers Of
the State Horticultural Societies OF those
States.
AS q sign Of the times this is unmista-
ksbly on the encouraging side. Men Of
THIS stamp and cast are not apt to idle
their time " in Improbable speculation.
They are here for a purpose that means
money-makiDg, not alone for themselves,
but for the people Of the State, and are,
therefore, worthy the hearty reception
accorded them by such OF the people of
Tennessee as nave met them. The Bqa-
aer, in behalf Of the State, extended to
them 3 cordial welcome, and becomingly
bespesks for them the characteristic
hospitality of all classes Of u citizens.
And to this we add assurances of the
ful6lImsnt Of both by the people of West
Tennessee when these gentlemen come
among US. We bid them, and al such, 3
hearty welcome to our State.
