AGRICULTURE. = The Bohncr Of tie

.Souh says
No better evidence can produced of
the determination of the Southern pco-
pic to develope their immense industrial
resources than is observable in the num-
Der and character of the agricultural and
mechanical societies which ure springing
up throughout the country. Previous to
the war, Agricultural Societies were very
little thought of-thc naturally fertile
soil and peculiar system Of labor, left
comparatively littlo for tho rich husband
man to think of. He had land and labor
in abundance and subject to his call. AS
q consequence, tho wealthy and indcpen-
dent lord of the soil turned his ambition
to other pursuits than the noble ono OF
tilling the ground.
But the war and tho stern hard truths
that its results have taught us, changed
the aspect of mems minds. Nothing was
left to us but our lands, and that indomi-
table will and pluck which our Anglo
Saxon ancestry planted upon the virgin
soil of Virginia, the Carolinas and Geor-
gia, and which, true to its history, shows
the more brightly under the trying and
desperate ordeal of the unequal and
bloody contest from which We have just
emerged. The brilliant intellect of the
Southern people, which. before the war,
made tho halls of the National Congress
celebrated and respected throughout tho
world, is heard there now no more. We
arc no moro q nation of politicians.
That same intellect and talent made us
so pre-eminent as q people in the past
exists still. But the logic OF events has
diverted our intelligence into new chan
nels, and moro generally than any other,
into that most exalting and honorable Of
all neutrality-suspicious.

TIE BATTLE OF MANASSAS cor
rcspondence between President Davis
and General Joseph E. Johnston, after
the first battle of Manassas, in respect to
the responsibility for tho latter's failure
to follow up his victory and march upon
Washington, has just como to light
thr ough tho columns of the Mississippi
Clarion. Mr.. Davis, under date of No
vember 8, 1861, asked General Johnston
whether he {Mr. Davis. Constructed the
pursuit of the enemy after the victory at
Manassas" or "even objected to an adj
vance or other active operations which
it was feasible for the army to make. !"
General Johnson's reply is as follows:
10 the first question reply no. The
pursuit was obstructed by the enemy's
troops ut Centreville, MS L have stated in
my official report In that report have
also said why no advance was made upon
the enemy's capital, for reasons as fol-
lows: The apparent freshness of the
United States troops ut Centreville,
which checked our pursuit; tho strong
force occupying the works near George.
town, Arlington md Alexandria; the
certainty too that General Patterson,
if needed, would reach Washington
with his army of moro than 10000
sooner than we could, and the condition
and inadequate means of the army in
ammunition, provision and transporta-
ton, prevented any serious thoughts of
advancing against the capital.
To the second question I reply that it
has never been feasible for the army to
advance farther than it has dono--to tho
line of Fairfax Court House, with its ad-
vanced posts at Upton's, Munson's and
Mason's hills. After conference at
Fairfax Court House with the three
senior general officers you announced it
to be impracticable to give this army
the strength which those officers con-
siderel necessary to enable it to assume
the offensive. Upon which 1 drow it

Il REMARKABLE SYNAGoGUE.-The Is
raelites Of Turin arc building new place
of worship, which, according to an ac-
count in the Paris Temps, is u very ex-
traordinary affair:
"Thc most remarkable OF all structures
ut Turin is the synagogue Of the Israel
ties. 1t is likely the finest and richest
synagogue in the world, and at the same
time the most remarkable monument OF
Turin. Upon small square hill, with
adapted stairs, stands Greek temple in
white and pink. Above, little back
wards, is kind of second temple. Tho
whole is traversed by galleries, adorned
with small pillars and thousands of
splendid embellishments. White and
reddish colors predominant. It is Greek
and MoUrish-it is Romantic and Gothic;
there is q blending of all styles, without
overstraiuing and without bad taste
But what makes this structure some
time bizarre and unexpected is mas
sive tower, with pierced walls arising
above this ornamented, beautiful con-
struction, reminding Of Asia and Egypt,
of yhebes and Nineveh Surely the
architect of this building was gifted by
Imagination. He was an able interpre-
ter of the Hebrew dream of the temple
to be erected at the brink of strange
river. Mover since the great destruction
has Israel possessed more magnificent
edifcc in which the hymns of David re-
sounded. This building is entirely fit
for the talented italian Jews, who are a
power at the exchange, Mt the press and
in the parliament.

he Reform Movement ns Viewed
Abroad,

The Now York World referring to the
paper put forth by the Executive Com
mittee of the Union Reform party,
says:
"Thero are only two conceivable remc-
dies for this deplorable state of things:
one by depriving the negroes of the
suffrage; the other by abandoning that
mutual hostility Of the two races which
radicals md carpet-baggers have SO i'll
dustriously fomented. The first of these
remedies might be the best if it were
practicable; but it would be wild and
crazy quixotism to attempt it. It could
not be accomplished without plunging
the country into another civil war, and
we have had quite enough of the bitter
fruits of civil war. The only practicn-
BILE way of restoring good goycrnmentin
the South is by thwarting the too SUCCESS
full attemps Of tho radicals to stir up
jealouses and animosities between the
two races. Their interests are really
identical, and if tho conflict which has
been caused by the Freedmen's Bureau
and carpet et-baegers were healed, the best
citizens OF both races, even in State
like South Carolina, where the negroes
are majority, could control the govern
ment and reform existing evils. The only
practical solution is to recognize negro
suffrage. and establish friendly relations
with the better part Of the colorcl popu-
lation."

War Declared-Frnnce and Prussia
Draw their Swords. II

The difficulty brewing for some days
past, between France and Prussia. has
eliminated in declaration Of war. Our
telegraphic columns furnish the latest
news upon the subject. French and
Prussian columns ore moving each with
eelerity to the historic Rhine. AS when
two clouds, each surcharged with cleo
tric fluid, are rapidly approaching. and
we look to SEQ the sharp lightning, and to
hear the deafening clap of thunder, SO
now an expectant world contemplate
with interest the meeting of the French
and Prussian columns, and are awaiting
the glittering of steel and the roar of
artillery.
The issue will be settled between the
needle.gun and the CAassepot, and the
genius that triumphed at Sadowa is to
try the metal of thatwhich conquered at
Magenta and Solferino:
The contest has come which we ex-
pected. Two great powers contend for
the mastery in Europe, and The question
has been left to the arbitrament of the
sword. The struggle will be grand one.
Both France and Prussia have vast mill
tary resources, and each will put forth
all its strength. How far the circle of
war viii extend, no one can accurately
tell. It may widen, until it sets oil
Europe ablaze, and gives it new map.

"Brick Pomeroy" saws:

AS We have stood by the rights of the
people and the eternal principles Of
Democracy from tho first, so shall we
stand in the future till the folds of our
flag will give shade and protection to
every man who tolls, and till the labor
party of the country becomes but the
broad, liberal, protective Democracy,
without which there can be no greatness
to lis as people, no matter what wealth
may result to the few.

Referring to minority representation

Ncterrlng to minority representation,
the Lancaster (Pa.) ntehigcncer says:.
"That it is destined to be generally
adopted before long, we have no doubt; !;
nor have we any doubt that it will even
tually be applied to all elections. We
notice rs significant sign of the times
that the plan was fully endorsed at q
meeting of Republicans from the minor
ity Counties in this State, which was held
at the Girard House the other day.
Democratic and Republican politicians,
in strong majority Counties may endea-
vor to prevent the adoption Of any plan
which will lessen their power, but the
people Of both parties will ero long take
hold Of tho matter and insist upon a
change which promises to be productive
Of SO much good. We notice with pleas
ure that many of the best newspapers in
this State, irrespective of party, are ad-
vocating the proposed reform. Let them
mako the fight an earnest and vigorous
one, and they can speedily compel the
calling of n convention to introduce the
desired changes into our State Constitu-
tion."

SMALL INDUSTRIES. The resources of
the Southern States nre almost immune
rable. There are great many ways Of
earning an honest penny, which have
never entered into the heads of our pco-
pie, for the simple reason that we have
always lived under the delusion that
there wns no money in anything but
cotton. Under the old regime, this was
we'll enough; but we may as well wake
up to the truth at oncc-this is no longer
q planting country-we must direct our
attention to other resources, or come to
grief. The sooner we begin to realize
the fact and act upon it, the better. It
is trno that it is very difficult, with q
sparse population, to introduce reform,
but once begun, good may come Of it.
DR.. Porcher has pointed out, in his
admirable work on the resources of our
fields and forests, great many impor-
tant features. We have roots, herbs,
trees and shrubs, containing valuable
medicinal properties. We have fruits
growing wild, capable of being converted
to valuable purposes; we have barks for
tanning and dyeing, and wood for fnrni-
ture, carriagemaking, clay for pottery,
md thousand other small Industries
worth looking after Union Times.

Gold Medal for the Best Sewing Machine,
The highest honors ever conferred for Sewing

The Machine which bears the name of Elias

ard of excellence, and has become celebrated
the world over. The work done by these Ma
chimes is unsurpassed sewing the thnest mus
lin or the thckest cloth with equal facility and
requiring no extra adjusting for uneven thick
ness or passing over seams 1t turns its own
hem as 1t sews, sewing seam stronger than the
fabric itself. To it hem, fell, tuck braid
cord, quit and gather, it seems more like n thing
Of life than machine moved by the will of the
operator. 1t is capable of doing every descrp-
tion of sewing that is required in Il family; and
also for seamstresses and dressmakers it will be
found invaluable. They seldom, or never give
any trouble in operating. and in word are the
most satisfactory Se,cing Nachines in use
Notwithstanding their great superiority, they
are sold at prices as low other frst-class ma
chimes.
A Medallion likeness of Mr. Howe is embedded
in the plates of every Howe Machine, without
which none are genuine, 1lvery purchaser of a
Sewing Machine, should inquire for Elias Howe,
