The New York Herald Of Sunday last
says: Perhaps the best evidence Of the
sure and rapid material progress OF the
South may be found In the fact that the
price of the boEds of the different South
ern States is steadily rising in Wall
street. The directors of our New York
savings banks, who are proverblally con-
ssTvative, cautious and sagacious, have
lately bought largely these State bonds.
The Southern people themselves are also
adding considerably to their investments
in these bonds. O.her cheering signs Of
the energy with which the recuperative
powers OF the South are awakening may
be found in the great cotton crop, esti-
mated at two hundred million dollars
10 the plentiful rice and sugar crops; in
the abundant production Of everything
consumed by the Southern people at
home in the report that in many parts
of the South labor has become even
cheaper than it used to be in the days OF
slavery and, lastly, in many yindicatioDs
that the political pacification which must
iBfsllibly follow the Inauguration Of
President Grant will open st the South
an era of good feeling and OF unprsce-
dented prosperity.

The New York correspondence of the
Augusta (Gs.l Sentinel, referring to the
practical results of the change in North
ern public opinion, says:
Though the drain OF money to invest
in the South is much less in volume now
than 1t was some weeks back, this is only
TO be understood of actual and tangible
investment on the spot. The confidence
in Southern recuperation is, from all the
sources OF information open to me, and
some OF them are exceedingly. correct,
uudiminished, If not actually on the in
crease, though the manifestation of this
confidence have OF late been chiefly seen
in the increased activity in Southern se.
curities. Some little time back it was
the exception that Southern State bonds
were quoted, but the contrary is the case
now,
Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1869-02-04
And the same writer, referring to our

Auu IHt 5Sue WfIterI TeIefrIng % our
political status, sAysi
The wretched character of the cres-
lures who now call themselves Govern
ore, State Tressurers, Legislators and
so on in the Sjuth, is quite well known
here, and il it were believed such ma
lignant and rapaeious spawn we're to
hold power for any length OF time,
Southern securities would not reach the
figures quoted or be ia the demand meH-
toned. That the thing is too bad to last
as the present bonded Indebtedness Of
the South is not great, and the States
are naturally rich ana now reeuperating,
it can be seen how, In anticipation of a
speedy return to honest, local govern
ment, their bonds advance.

this there are several good reasons
/. They have done these things for the
North and Northwest. 2. They should
do this Ia the South to bind this section
Of the country to the rest. 8. To relieve
the financial condition OF the South.
/. For the sake of the whole country,
because, thus, they would Immensely in
crease the national revenue:
The call for 6 General improvement
Convention in Tennessee may be ae-
cepted as another index Of the budding
progression OF the Southern ) ates. The
only Objectionable feature in the senti-
ment of the call, and we presume ia the
minds Of those who design participating,
is the disposition to rely too implicitly
upon the aid of the General Govern
ment. II Is not the purpose of the
Government to extend aId where the re-
suits are not purely national, at least, it
is not its duty. This fact should be
understood, and should eTge to smooth
the disappointment Of denial. A
thought that more than atones for the
above is that which looks to increase of
the home basis of credit. Says one very
wisely: Let US make the State thor
Oughly commercial, and our stocks will
go above par as If by magic This is
true reason, and the true State pride.
Not all that can be given will do it un-
less the selfish principle prevail, !. e., the
determination to make the State inde-
pendent"

IL -9Si S t-F-
says:
Toe estimate of $500 600 bales OF cot
ton (say 875, 900, 600 pounds) as the aggre-
gate Of last years. Southern crop, is very
encouraging one for general trade during
this year. At an average Of twenty-five
cents, the South will have cleared, after
paying all expenses Of transportation,
commission sales and so on, about sew
enty millions of dollars. And this will
be pretty much intact as new capital, for
the South bought very little grain last
year, raising nearly all she needed. Good
sense in accepting the situAtioB," and
a hearty setting to work in developing
the superb resources Of our Southern
country, will not fail, il opportunity be
given, to redeem 1t from its misery and
misfortune in few years.

WHAT THE NORTHERN PRESS
SAYS OF Us.

In continuation of the article We pub"
lished on Tuesday, giving the most recent
opinion Of the South by the New York
Tribune, wespresent some extracts from
other Northern journals Of influence, be-
speaking great change in the public
opinion of that section, as to the political
feeling and industrial habits OF the
South.
The New York Times Conservative Re-
publican) says:
Our Georgia correspondent, in the let
ter we published yesterday, gave what,
in spite Of ali draw wbscks, we must regard
as, on the whole, an encouraging picture
Of the prospects in that State. The cot
ton crop is good; the relations between
whites and the negroes friendly, the
former paying promptly on all contracts
for work, and the latter being satisfied
with the results Of their labor. 'In no
part Of the world" says our cOrrespon-
dent, sis the corresponding class OF Ia
borers as prosperous, in q material sense,
as these negroes"

The Boston Fo8t, sterling Democratic
journal, says:
1t is absurd to the limit OF preposter-
ousness, to keep States out Of their con-
stitutionsl rights on the plea OF insub0r-
dinstion and the prevalence Of civil
commOtion, when their populations are
at work so pescesbly and effectively that
the result Of their labor begins to be felt
decisively On the foreign trade relations
OF the entire country. As we said be-
fore, we ought TO hear the last of this
moekery of truth at once. That string
has been pulled till it is pulled off. Let
the facts OF the sltlation have hearing,
and the Southern people will best be lett
to reconstruct themselves.
