Individual Enort-Tho Philosophy o.
Conventions.

Individual Enort-Ths Philosophy OF
Conventions.
Theirs is now great deal said about
the ways and means of rebuilding up the
South. Various expedients have been
suggested. It may be difficult thing
to say what of all agencies will be most
eficaoions. Bnt it is not difficult to de-
clare what viii s,os answer. In the first
place, politics alone will not regenerate
the South. - Even if the South could be
eninently successful in her political role,
this would not bring her the desired re-
lief After all, parties in the political
world do but give direction to the solid
power elsewhere obtained. It is the
strong battalions that win-strong in
numbers, strong in wealth. In the next
place. conventions, of themselves, will not
accomplish our rapid regeneration. From
the various commercial and other con-
ventions that have been held in the
South, much has been expected, but not
much has been received The fact of
the matter Isl the philosophy of couven-
tions is not always understood. No one
need expect anything from them further
than to give direction to public thought
and to public energy. Conventions arc
highly useful but useful, let it be under
stood, in their way. They bring men
together from the four quarters of the
country or the State. They compare
notes together. They consider, balance,
and weigh conflicting ideas. Minds act
upon minds with useful results. The
experience OF one man reinforccs the ex-
perience of another. The spirit and the
enthusiasm of one ardent worker comes
to animate, aluggish brother. A COM
mon plan is agreed upon. But here the
utility of conventions ends. It but
points the way. 1t but lays down the
programme. What, then, after all, is
necessary to oonsummate either reli-
gious, political or Industrial reformsP
We answer, that it is individual effort
it is personal erertion. ''To this COM
plexion it must come at last" And we
believe that. in our capacity as public
Journalists VS. can impress upon our
readers no more important lesson than
this. The public interests are
they but the aggregate of individual
interests. The public wealth-what is
it but the aggregate of individual wealth.
The power, the material power, of the
South what can it be but the individual
power that her SOILS shall individually
acquire. ,.
Hereditary bondsmen! know We not
Who would be free, themselves must strike tho
blow?"
Iu the commercial and industrial
world, We of the South have long beer
the "bondsmen" of the North. The
South now aspires to rid herself of this
disastrous bondage. To do 30. she must
move out upon the industrial arena, and
her people must, by individual effort
work ont their salvation. "Themselves
must strike the blow" that breaks the
fetters of industrial bondage.

myself to their peculiar views" In

The NEW CoTroN CRor.-The recon
struction Of the South has taken very
practical tnrn, if we may Judge by tho
success which has already attended the
cotton crop of 1S697O. From the re-
turns at the different ports it appears
that the receipts so far are 100, 900 bales
in excess Of the amount received during
the corresponding expired portion of the
cotton year of 1S68-69. Valuing the
crop in round numbers at S1OO bale, the
South has, therefore, made 10000, 900
moro than last year, while the prospect
is fair that the whole crop of this year
will exceed that of last year in the same
proportion. Before the war the annual
product was 6,000,00O bales The near.
est approximation to this figure since the
war has been about $3.50, 600; but this
year the crop bids fair to reach nearly
4, 100000. AS cotton is now worth,
even in gold, twice the price of ante-war
times, the gain to tho country is still a
vast one, and assures the prosperity of
the section which suffered most severely
from the war.-Ne,o York Herald.

IMMIGRAT1oN.-The extraordinary rush
of immigrants to this country, during
the three months ending June 80, of the
present year, is worth noting. The total
number was 165, ,9S7-being very large
increase over the same period in previ-
GUS years. The class of immigrants, too,
is unusually good. We find among them,
for example, 60 clergymen, G5 physi-
clans, So artists, $3.50 mechanics, 333
bakers, 233 butchers, II seamstresses,
1888 shoemakers. 766 tailors, 1,O5S ma
sons, 1,518 of miscellaneous trades, $50
clerks, 15, 553 farmers, 1926 laborers,
1,943 traders, 8,1O3 miners, 1876 mari
ners, 5,709 servants a2d 763 of other spo-
Gifted occupations. Again, it is worthy
of note, that while Ireland sends 26, 133,
Great Britain" (meaning, we may sup
pose, England, Ireland and Walcs) sends
33, ,574. Germany, Austria and Prussia
lead the list with $1,000.

ANDREW ROBINSON.

Having stated our preference for
ex-President johnson for the
United States Senate, it may be ex-
pected that wo should give some of
the reasons that induce US to favor
his election. Were there no other
reason, it would be sufficient, other
things being equal, that in our
opinion his election is expected and
demanded by The people of the
State. That it is expected and de~
sired by the opponents of Radicalism
in all the other States of the Union,
from the Lakes TO the Gulf, and.
from the Atlantic to the Pacific,
there cannot be the shadow Of a
doubt. The voice comes up
through the public press and
through private correspondence
until it swells into avolume that
forces itself upon the attention and
asksin the name of free govern
ment and republican institutions
that this champion of the Constitu'
ton shall be returned to the United
States Senate by the Legislature
of Tennessee. Not only the people
of Tennessee but the people of the
whole country, as they desire
restoration of the government to
the principles upon which it was
formed, so they desire that one of
such decision of character, of such
determination, of such familiarity
with the subject, of such grasp of
mind should be placed foremost in
the combat with Radicalism. Not
only Senators must be met in debate
with stern logic and overpowering
fact, but the country must be
aroused to the dangers by which it
is imperilled. Who 80 capable of
doing it in all this broad land as
Andrew Johnson Who can 50
quickly catch the public ear? Who
can SO thoroughly expose the
fraud, the corruption, the anti
republicanism of Radicalism?
Who SO bold in defense and power
fal in attack? The Constitution is
at stake. 1t must be preserved,
protected and defended. In the
language of the resolution
presented by the Committee on
Resolutions, Gen. John G. Brown,
Chairman, and adopted by the State
Convention held in Nashville, June
8, 1868, "Andrew johnson in the
discharge of his great functions as
President of the United States at
period of trying and unprecedented
embarrassment, has rendered his
name illustrious by the fidelity
with which he has sought 'to pres
serve, protect and defend the COM
sti!ution' againsG the assaults of
revolutionary faction, and in his re-
cent signal triumph in that behalf
has earned the gratitude Of the
Amerjcan people, AND RENDERED
HIMSELF WORTHY OF THE HIGHEST
MARK OF CONFIDENCE THAT MAY BE
BESTOWED UPON HIM." ".lt
