an honest, genuine effort in behalf OF
the education OF our young people.
many, nay. most OF whom, are growing
mp in gross ignorance. and induleing in
shameful vices. A school of agriculture
and all its affiliated branches is public
necessity somewhere near the centre of
the State. One upon the plan OF that at
Hofwyl, in Switzerland, or Glameyin,
near Dublin, or --, in Germany,
would, we believe. be a great public
blessing, and prove decided SUCCESS.
Every parcnt, at least, onght to recog-
nize the crying want which we have
characterized, and earnestly seek to give
his offspring that culture which BELTS
his station and their prospects. It is
equally incumbent upon him to afford
them the practical, technical instruction,
the special preparation suited to their
several aptitudes, whioh will qualify
them for success in business. And in
these demoralized days, let him not for
get all proper moral restraints, and tho
formation OF appropriate habits. Wise
was the warning OF an ancient writer
when he said: "Let nothing foul in
word, or to sight, touch the portals
within which boy is to be found"
1t was our. purpose to say something
moro, in this connection, of the great
manufacturing interest. But we must
DO brief. It is gratifying to know that
the people of the South are not in
sensible to its Importance. The per
centagc Of home manufactures is steadily
growing. Its profits are attracting capi-
tai, practical intelligence and skilled
labor TO tho South. 10000 bales cot.
ton were consumed by Southern mills
!:st ear; while tba year before 81. 600
were used; and in $3.50. only $4,000.
This shows an increase in the cotton
taKen py Southefn mills from 81 to 1OM
per cent. of the total consumption.
The increase in cotton consumption in
the United States for the last four years
has been three times as rapid South as in
the North. Our people are upon the
right track in making and manufactur-
ing cotton, and will thereby reap a
double harvest. This, then, we would
say: Look not to politics, nor to politi-
cal expedionts SO exclusively. Let us
devote our, energies, even more closely
than heretofore TO tue great pursuits OF
education, agriculture and manufao-
lures. They will make triple cord,
which oannot easily be broken, and to
which the anchor of On enduring pros.
perity may be securely and immovably
attached.
