When disease has undermined the health

alarming. For all such maladIcs HOstet-

surpassed. by acting directly upon the
digestive organs, they remove the heavy,
'lisagrreable feeling after cnting, so often
complained OF by persons OF n delicate

sold forty bushels for $40. ana hat the
pleasure of hauling the othertwenty bush
els back home
The above is an extract from com
municntion signed "Panola," and
addressed to the April number of the
Southern Cultivation. The experience
Of "Panola," rs detailed by him, is
frcibly Illustrative of the prime
cause of Southern poverty and de-
pcndence-thc absence of that diver
sity Of pursuits which, alone, "a
create II demand for any southern
product, save cotton.
"Panola" is mistaken in calling
his experiment, Yankee farming. y
Yankee would have been too shrcwd
to plant a crop of potatoes and cab
lngcs for n community of producers.
Sooner would he. have tried his skill
at manufacturing wooden nutmcgs
and shoepe oats.
Suppose, however, the spirit Of en-
tcrpriSe had invaded his vicinity
that the hum of spindlcs and the in
spring sounds of all sorts of machin-
cry, giving employment to thousands
Of skilled operatives, would he, then,
have been forced to try the expert
mcnt of hauling his potatoes seventy
five miles only to have the "pleas-
urc" Of hauling them back again.
The South seems not to have learned
that varied pursuits multiply con-
sumCrs, and furnish n home market
for the products of the soil, whilst its
present policy, Of large farms and a
single staple, prevents the accession
of population, makes its people CON
inner of the products of other To-
'NllNltSi illll'N lNlltS us ltll'N NllNi
checks, eilectually, its progress in
wealth, refinement, comfort and
power. This is the history, for gen
crations, of the mistaken policy OF
the South, and such il will continue
to he until the people learn to appre-
ciate the fact, that soil ana climate
invite them to raise everything they
need, and experience demonstrates
that, in falling 10 accept the invita-
ton, their condition is, year 10y year,
growing from bad 10 worse until they
can, with impunity, he scotled at rs
FOOLS, insulted and opprcssedas slaves,
and hcldup to the world rs an exam
pie Of II people, generous and brave,
yet wanting the spirit of indopend
cncc; intellectual and ingenious, yet
too deficient in patriotism to shakeo Oh
the yoke of political serflom, when
the means are at hand and the way
clear.

sTONE-COAL BLAST FURNACE.

The grand enterprise, by the citi-
zens of GAINESVILLE, the erectior with
in thecity limits Of Stone-coal Blast
Furnace, for manufacturing Pig Iron,
is no longer In doubt, or TO he further
delayed, unless Dur enterprising and
leading citizens go back on their
former positions.
twill be recolIected by this commu-
nifty what general rejoicing, throw
ing up of hats and furnishing Of
trumpets was caused in our city not
long since, when it was understood
that certain leading, influential and
enterprising citizens had seriously,
but determinately taken into consid-
Grafton the adoption and speedy con-
summation, by themselves, (hoping,
however, to have the aid and good
will of all good members of the COM
munity,) of some enterprise, within
our city limits, which on investiga-
ton should prove to be best c~nlculat-
ed, as an entering wedge, to a future
systematic and well organized intro
duction, in our midst, of each and
every branch of manufacturing, such
us our wants and surroundings teach
us would be profitable, and best cal
cuIated to develop the bountiful re-
sources ofthis community; how unan-
imous was the illusions in the
community, that Il enterprising
citizens had wisely and well chosen,
as their first enterprise, the erection
of n Stone coal Blast Furnace for the
manufacture of Pig Iron. 1t will he
further recollected how anxiously this
community have awaited the further
action of those gentlemen who have
this enterprise under consideration,
having been informed by them that
a final and speedy contamination Of
this enterprise only depended upon a
satisfactory chemical analysis and
other tests, relating to the proper
adaptation of the coal and ore, for
producing, protitably, Pig Iron.
(Wc refer the reader to the letter of
analysis published in the Chronicle
of the 18th inst.)
It must, then, be q source for true
rejoicing to this community to learn
that all tests and chemical analysis,
and they are numerous and reliable,
which have been thought advisable
to avail ourselves of, goes to show
that ever the most sanguine eXpec-
tations and hopes Of many engaged
in this enterprise fall far below the
facts, that the doubts of skeptics and
least sanguine, are now entirely dis
appointed, and consequently nothing
remains but for our enterprising cit
liens to carry out this laudable and
paying enterprise.

lT seems that the providing Com
mittee proposes to Subdividc itself in
to seven committees of three each,
SO that seven Southern States can be
investigated, at n time. This ar
rangemcnt, whether carried out or
not, gives the lie to the pr0fessed fear
of the dread KukluX. No three Rad
icals would incur the risk, did they
believe there was such n organiza-
tiunt0 be encountered in their travels.
Beast Butler would not come South
without n committee of a dozen

WE have seen n subscription list
that is being handed around for
names, the object of which is to raise
fifteen thousand dollars, or more, to
be paid out in premiums to parties
who will erect manufactures in our
midst. AS we understand the propo.
sition, any individal or firm, erecting
an establishment worth ", 800 will be
entitled to n premium Of % per cent.
to he paid out Of the fund so raised.
This manifestation of n deter
mination to do something tor the
town, will he hailed, with pleasure,
by every good citizens and may
prove u stimulus to the dormant en-
ergies of n people, too long indiffer-
ent to the destiny of the city. 1t is
obvious to every observing man that
something must be done, and done
quickly, or trade Of every description,
will seek some more enterprising and
public spirited population, and leave
US n way station on a'road that is fast
sapping the prosperity of GAINESVILLE.
The list, above mentioned, is filling
up with good names and very liberal
subscriptions, and we hope the pre-
miums offered, will have the desired
effect, in forming, at least, manu-
featuring nucleus, and the basis OF
progressive growth and prosperity.

HORACE GREEDY declines to serve
on the Committee 10 reorganize the
Radical party, and assigns, rs the
reason, the mischief Grant has done
by his removals and appointments.
Upon the strength of this, we pre-
sumo, some one has ventured to sug-
gest Greedy as the Radical candidate
for President. In n government
which is fac siHa0e of Pandemonium,
the biggest devil should be Chief
Magistrate. Greedy is a man of tall
ent and, though the author of meal
culable mischief, he has occasional
generous impulses and during one of
those fits, might accomplish great
good.
Grant lisa fool by nature, and this
natural advantage has been greatly
improved by close application to
whisky, lie can't do good, even ii
he would, and would not if he could.
If we are to have n Radical President,
let him be Greedy rather than Grant.
