people would awake from these lullabies of re-
gret that would hush their energies into torpid
slumbers-awake to the realization Of the now
issues of the new to-day, awake to tho appre-
citation Of what is their true position.
The mandate, "accept the situation" compre-
hcnds the whole lesson of the hour, tho whole
duty of tho South Il includes the demand
which the spirit of resistless progress, before
which their ordeal has succuinbed and pcrishcd,
makes Of conquered people. Il bids us
throw these vain ,sgrets and lying hopes be-
fore the Juggernaut Car Of adyancement, and
let them be crushed and .anuihilated befvrs ia
triumphant march Il would divest us Of
these elogging prejudices which are now
shadows after the substance has departed! 1t
would free US from the slavish obedience to
family influence and public opinion!
Freed from these shackles which every hon
est man will admit in his heart did bind and
fetter mems expressions, and even their opin-
ions, this course will enable the people of the
South to start out upon their legitimate and
appointed career of prosperity, at whose thrcs-
hold they now lingcr checked by these adverse
and hostile influences
Accept the situation, go to work yourselves
to dcvelope the splendid resources of your
favored land, devote your best efforts to
thoroughly establish law and order, and to
protect to the fullest degree the honest opin-
ions and convictions of all who come among
us.
This is the significant language of our
worthy eotcmporary. This, it says, is the only
way to bring to our section capital Of money
and labor, which will secure its prosperity.
THAT the Southern states offer magnificent
opportunity for the successful and profitable
development of manufacturing enterprises,
there can be no question" and once let North
ern capital and enterprise be called and invited
by the guaranty of security and freedom in
opinion and convictions, and they will come
with a rush, to build up and restore our ruins
aud our waste places, aud cause them to smile
again, with restored aud greater beauty.

A correspondent of the Abbeville Press has

A correspondent of the Abbcville Press has
lately visited the fourishing cotton factory
near Pcndlcton village, and says of it: The
machinery is of the newest and most improved
description, making the best fabrics with the
least expenditure of labor. They run two
thousand spindlcs, AID the profits for one year
were such as to enable the propri.tors to
double the capacity of the establishment. We
would be glad to see the day when our district
will boast of factory profitable to its pro-
prietors, and so beneficial to the public"

Our readers are we'll acquainted with the fact that an expedition under the direction of Major Powell had set ou, some mouths ago for the purpose of exploring the dang rous and hitherto urexplored regions of Green river and the head waters of the Colorado. Rep0rrs a short time ago, led many to believe that the Major and his companions had shared the fate of the unfortunate party which undertook Q similar expedition year or two previous Our fears have lately been djssipated aud the Sci enti6c Press of July 3lst, treats the sbject as follows
 Letters have been received from Major Pow ell, of the Colorado river expedition, up to June 18th, as which time the pa'ty were all safe and lying by for few days for rest. The party had passed four canons, of about twenty five miles each in length, the walls of which were from 600 to 2,8OO feet high were com pelled to make portages of rati9ns etc, and let the boats down with lines. Che ofthe boats was wrecked with the loss of portion Ot the supplies and instruments The instruments were duplicated. Sone fine fossils have been collected, and grand geological collection and a good map will be prepared. The boats seem to be a success; although filled with Wa ter many times. they never sink. The wreck was due to misunderstanding of orders. The party was resting for eight or ten days to make repairs and dry rations, They were all in good health and spirits. and filled with high hopes of success.

The TehuantepsC RaiIrOad.

A party of American capitalists, headed by Marshall O. Roberts, of New York city, have obtained favorable grant from the Mexican government, and propose commencing at an early period the building ofthe long -talked-of railroad across the Isthmus of Tehuantepec. The company has been incorporated. aud Mir. Roberts has signed bond in the penalty of SlO0,OOO coin for the construction within eighteen mouths of a carriage road and tele- graph line along the whole route of the pro- jected railroad. To assist in the building of the latter the company assume the obligation to complete the road withiE five years It Is to be first class road in every res pect, and capable of meeting he requirements of the ex, tensive traffic which is certain to pass over it. The road will commence on the Atlantic side, at the town of MinatitlaH, on the Coatzacoalas river. about twenty miles from the gulf of Mex leo. This point is accessible to sea-going steamers at all seasons of the year and at all stages of water. From thence the line takes direction almost due south to the Pacific ocean which it reaches al the port of fYeposa, distant about I60 miles The summit of the road will be 793 feet above the level ofthe sea, and the heaviest grade will be but 50 feet to the mile, and this only fora distance of twelve or fifteen miles, and for the rest of the distance the aver~ age grade will be less than twenty-five feet to the mile. The preliminary carriage road will hav O the aama Oaparal looat tioo ao tho roiIrood but will follow slightly different course. Its total length will be about two hundred miles. Itis to have a carriage way fifteen feet wideI and the timber on each side is to be cleared road is estimated at nine millions of do liars. What the earnings will be is Of course, mere. matter ot conjecture, and can only be guessed at by comparison with the Panama railroad. This railroad earns over fory per cent. per annum upon a capital of nine millions of dol- lars, besides interest On a debt of two millions of dollars, and Tehuantepec railroad is even more favorably situated for business. The dis tance from Liverpool 10 San Francisco is one thousand one hundred and thirly-one miles less by the Tehuantepec route than by Panama; from New York to San Francisco, one thousand four hundred and seventy-seven miles less, and from New Orleans to San Francisco, two thou sand three hundred and thr.y-four miles; SO that the new road will offer far superior attrac- tionS to commerce over that on the Isthmus of Panama. The people of the Pacific coast will be greatly benefited by the early completion of this work, and it is matter of congratulation that the road has at last got into the hands of set of energetic men, who will commence and finish it in the shortest practicable time - Chronicle
