Judge Underwood granting the ipiupct;on

claimed by republicans that Judge Underwood

The Mobile Register says that it is
marvellous how the South has risen in
five years from what was apparently
complete prostration to great prosper
ity, and to promise far greater. South
ern credit has been re-established on q
firm basis, and advances are made with
a confidence equal to anything that
preceded the dark days of 1861. Cotton
has mouHted his throne and is again
"king." He was crovnless monarch
Ave years ago, and now, we are told,
his last years crop was 300, 900 COM
mercial bales, or 3,00O,0 600 bales Of 400
pounds each, in value equal to $500, ,o0o,-
900. Late dispatches from Calcutta
announce that the Earl Of Mayo, Gov
ernor General of India, is making tour
of the cotton-growing di,tricts of that
country, urging upon the people the
necessity of the increased cultivation OF
cotton in order to compete successfully
with the United States. England has
long been engaged in such efforts, but
has no better prospect of success now
ttau before.
The Mobile Register tells US also that
Virginia in 1869 sold one hundred thou.
sand tons of her products, while her
mines Of iron, coal, lead, copper and
gypsum "are now worked more salts
factorily than ever befors;" that South
Carolina paid An internal revenue tax
of two and half millions, and q State
tax of one million, and greatly reduced
her debt; that twenty great railroads
are constructing In the two Carolinas,
Georgia and Florida. while Delaware,
Mary land, West Virginia, Missouri,
Arkansas, Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi
and Alabama have ab0ut forty new lines
under way; that the tobacco crop of
last year amounted to 225, 900, 900
pounds, valued at thirty-seven million
dollars, the rice crop $1,000 tierces,
being an increase of 10000 ever the
preceding year, and the sugar crop s0,-
600 or $1,000 hogsheads, against S,647
for 1867. The prospect for the coming
year is believed to be even brighter.
immigration is adding variety and
quality of skilled labor, and if the
whites could be enfranchised as well as
the blacks, there would be geaeral har-
mony and content.

Democratic and Conservative
state Convention.

The citizens of West Virginia who favor the
repeal of all proscriptive laws now in force in
this State and the enactment Of such measures
as will give the State character abroad and har.
mony and prosperity at home, are requested to
meet in their respective counties or townships,
at as early day as may be practicable, and
choose delegates TO a State Convention to be
held in the town Of Charleston, Kanawha coun-
ty, on
Wednesday, the Sth day Of Juue, 1S70,

Each county or delegate district will cast ten
votes in this Convention for svery representa-
tive in the House Of Delegates TO which such
county or district may be entitled.
The effect of our proscriptive system in driv.
eng large numbers of useful citizens from West
Virginia and in preventing immigration from
other States, renders the speedy abolition of
tina. system necessary to the public good. This
call is therefore addressed to all lbaral.minded

the State and vin5icste the rights Of her citi-

TENNESSEE and Georgia ought to be
reconstructed out of the Union, and
the Cincinnati Gazette gives a reason
therefor that will appeal to the stern
10y atty of the Pennsylvania pig iron
radicals. The Gazette editor has seen
the figures for making pig iron in Roane
county, Tennessee, at $40 80 per ton,
and in Cherokee county, Georgia. at
sI9 63. "This is disloyalty," continues
the Gazette; "it is worse than the Ku'
klux or resisting the Fifteenth Amend
meut. 1t is an attack Oh Pennsylvania
and prohibitoIy protection, which is
vastly worse than an attack on the
Union. 1t is contrary to the great
American principle that any thing OF
common use should be made cheap.
Let these States be suspended until
these public enemies shall certify that
iron can not be made in America for
less than $35 ton. This is the test OF
loyalty" Can't we have peacei Shall
