DUNN, colored Lieutenant Gov
rnoT Of Louiriana, was lionized on
the floor of the Senate on Thursday
by Sumner ct ais. The dispatches
say that nearly all the Radical Sen
ators left their seats to bow down
at the ebony idol. The country
should know the names of those
who did not. In encouragement of
the sense of decency they exhibited,
it would be pleasure to publish
them.

The subject of manufactures in our
section is enc Of great interest to US. As
you say, "for many years." there must
be an exchange Of commodities between
the sections. True: And there will al
ways be. Our resources, however, for
the production Of the raw material are
limitIess. We have the cereals which
rarely fail in full crop, and oftener than
otherwise, an exuberant. We have
forests of timber-oak and cedars rivals
ing those Of Lebanon. We have coal in
exhaustlesS supply for factory uses. The
water sheds of our region afford natural
facilities for milling operations unsur-
passed anywhere. Our minerals and
ores are yet uhdeveloped scarcely, and
their quality-our iron especially, is su-
perior to any produced in the country.
Our great textile fabric-cotton-
temporarily discrowned, but yet
to resume the sceptre of real
authority in the commercial worlds at
our doors, abundant in quantity and SUI
perior to any in the world. We can con-
tinue to exchange it with you, and yet
manufacture at least the coarser fabrics,
and, in time, the finest also. Under the
industrial reconstruction" we are
making, this is not only possible, in my
opinion, but probable, nay, Indispensable
and inevitable. If they can be estab~
lished at all, and 1 am sanguine, they
can be made to pay more than the aver
age ".our per cent" Of New England, at
which you say your section has grown
rich 4; but, as you say, the experiment
must be entered upon cautiously and
with judgment. We need, non, capital
only.
but utter a sentiment, and know goa
will reciprocate, (would that all the
people Of both sections would speedily do
sol that there soon shall be a hearty,
fraternal and cordial community of feel
ing among US as members of a great and
just Federal government ; and of re-
ciprocal interchange Of products and
manufactures under fair and equal laws (;
and of mutual assistance in making the
peoples Of both sections c9ntented and
prosperous, each in whatever nature or
art has endowed us with.
shall be pleased to meet you again
in Nashville, or greet you in Massachu
sets, or wherever we may happen.
Yours truly, etc."

Is it any business of the leaders
in a government that boasts of Just
having quelled in its midst, the
most gigantic rebellion against its
authority, and threatens to whip
England and France and any other
man who crooked a finger while the
process was going on, to aid, abet,
incite, and encourage, as Banks,
Beecher and other hyper-loyal men
are doing, revolt in Cuba against
the authority of Spain?
If it is, it would be more seemly
in such people to vex the air some
what less with their laudstions
of 4oyalty," as the chief civic
virtue. If it is not, they had better
mind the business they are sent to
do, and 'let us have peace" at
home. They had better do this
any how, than expend their sym
pathies on the Cubans or any other
people that have a government TO

We are permitted to make the fol
lowing extract from letter recently
written by one of our leading citi-
zens to a gentleman in Massachu-
sets, with whom he had met and
held some intercourse, in which the
question of the practicability of ins
shutting general system of man
ufactures in this State, and in other
sections of the South and South
west, was discussed. 1t will be
perceived that it is brief response
to the queries and doubts of the
feasibility of the measure suggested
by the party to whom the letter is
addressed. The merits of the ques-
ton are not elaborated, but its
statements of the resources of this
region are in no wise exaggerated;
and its positions are correct, and,
as we confidently expect, will be
verified in the near future.
AS the writer says, capital is the
great want and there is plenty OF
capital, but it is kept out of reach
and in large masses, and controlled
by the few. Fit could be detached
from its involvement in bond and
stock operations, and induced into
other channels than speculations on
itself, the experiment of Southern
manufactures would soon be on a
successful tide, giving and receiving
prosperity. If the sentiment adj
vanced in the closing paragraph of
this letter could find Judgment in
the breast of the capitalists of the
Eastern States, and a healthy public
opinion in that section could be
brought to influence the legislation
of Congress-or rather put an end
to partizan legislation applied to
the South, and encourage financial
regulations, salutary and equal in
their operation, the currency distri
button would be more uniform, and
the surplus capital would seek,
through natural laws, the places
where it is most needed, and could
find its surest and most permanent
and profitable investment,
But to the letter:

SECRETARY FISH of the State

grown tired of it. He doesn't like
the list of diplomatic and consular

A correspondent Of the Stockton
California; Herald writes as follows:
II Herewith append recipe, which
has been used TO my knowledge Ia
hundreds of cases. 1t will prevent or
cure the smalI-p ox though the pittings
are filling. When Jenner discovered
COW pox in England, the world of
science hurled an avalanche of fame
upon his head, but when the most
scientific school of medicine in the
world-that of Paris-published this
recipe as a panacea for small- pox, 1T
passed unheeded. It is as unfailing
as fate, aud conquers in every in
stance. 1t is harmless when taken by
. well person. 1t will also cure scar
let fever Here is the recipe as have
used it, and cured my children of
scarlet fever; here it is as | have used
| it to cure the smallpox; when learn
ed.physicians said the patient must
die. it cured Sulphate of zinc, one
/ grain; foxglove (digitals), one grain ;
half a teaspoonfut of sugar; mix with
| two tablespOonfuls of water. When
thoroughly mixed, add four ounces of
water. Take spoonful every hour.
! Either disease will disappear in twelve
hours. For child, smaller doses
according to age. If counties would
compel their physicians to use this
| there would be no need of pest
houses. If you value advice and ex-
perience, use this for that terrible
| disease.

RAILROAD Grants.

~ Nearly One-third Of The entire public
domain has been made OUer to the con-
froL Of railroad companies. The
quantity of lands conveyed by these
grants, says the commissioner of the
general land Office, is of empire ex-
tent, exceeding in the aggregate, by
more than FIVE millions of acres, the
entire areas Of the New England
States, added to the surface of New
York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania,
Ohio, Delaware, Maryland and Vir-
ginia." He says the grants to the
Pacific railway lines alone, are with
in fourth of being twice the united
area of England, Scotland, Wales.
Ireland, Guernsey, Jersey, the Isle of
Man, and the islands of the British
seas, and less than a tenth of being
equal to the French Empire proper"
Isn't it about time this thing should
stop?'

TIE New York Musical Gazette
throws out these suggestions to choirs
that wish to sing Church music with
expression: Is ..u1
= Let choir sing tune through as
they have been in the habit of doing,
with voices full and unrestrained Let
them then sing it again in precisely
the same way as regards time, pronun-
citation, expression, &c, but diminish
ing the power twenty-five per cent,
that is, singing with about three
fourths the usual strength, and those
who listen will find the effect improv-
ed at least one halt In fact, this
proportion does not adequately ex-i
press the difference, for the distinc-
ton is really between bad and good.
When the power is unrestrained, every
voice stands out separate and distinct
from every other, causing each indi
vidual defect to be intensified and ex
aggerated. When the voices are sub
dued they are far more likely to blend,
and become. as it were, transfused, a
process which strongly tends to abb
sorb individual faults, and to create
an agreeable result. even out of I'M

The cultivation of silk in California
is in highly prosperous condition.
In France and Italy the silk worm is
affected by fatal disease, but on the
Pacific coast the eggs are sound, and
the worms are healthy and vigorous.
orders have been sent from Europe
to the California silk growers for all
the eggs they can produce for years to
come at four dollars an ounce. each
ounce containing 10000 eggs. The
California Legislature encourages this
valuable interest by offering $3.50 for
every 1900 mulberry trees raised and
$500 for every 100000 silk cocoons
produced IN good merchantable order.
