Better than Secession.
[From the Illinois State Journall


Gotten mills and manufactures OF
every kind are rapidly sprineing up in
the Southern States. Thanks to the
firm and humane policy Of the Govern.
mcnt in suppressing disorder and re-
moving disabilities, it is row safe for
Northern capitalists to invest in the
South, and the people there have awak
ened to new lie, and set about repair
ing their broken fortunes
The most successful efforts have been
made in Alabama and Georgia. Thou
sands of spindles are now running within
sight of the cotton fields. In Alabama
six factories with forty-three thousand
spindles, consume more than twenty
thousand bales Of cotton. A similar
growth Of manufacturing power Is vlsl-
BILE In all the cotton States. A company
was organized last year for the erection
of a cotton factory at Little Rock,
Arkansas
Prior to the war. the growth Of cotton
inspired an insane ambition. Each
planter strove 10 excel his neighbor in
producing the first bale Of the season,
the greatest quantity to the hand, and
in making the largest yield His crop
was consigned to his merchant in New
Orleans, who shipped it to Europe and
the North. The money realized went
to pay last years bills for supplies, and
the surplus went toopen more land, buy
more negroes, and afford a luxurious
sojourn at northern watering places.
The common farm crops were too in
significant to receive attention, and do
mestic manufactures were not known
Cotton was King After few months
the planter bought back his bales in the
shape of spun, woven and manufactured
goods--its cost increased in carving
and manipulation an hundred fold a
cost that could have been mostly saved
by having manufactures at hand.
Again, the corn, -four, oats, hay, pota-
toes, fruits, beef, pork, butter, cheese,
even onions, cabbages, beets, turnips,
and eggs, were brought from abroad
We have often sat at luxuriant South
ern tables where two or three articles
only were grown within five hundred
miles. It was the same with imple-
ments of labor and common use. All
machinery, wagons, plows, carts, har,
rows, hoes, rakes, harness, saddles, tubs,
buckets, household furniture, lumber,
laths, shingles, even down to clothes
pins; hats, clothing, boots and shoes;
even the rough wear of their slaves,

CoMETARY INFLUENCE ON THE
EATuER-A Washington paper stated
recently that the impression prevails
au ong scientists there that the coming
comet is the cause Of the late dry spell
ot weather which has been felt so sc
verely till the late rains. If such Ii
drouth is one of the first fruits of the
coming meteor we might well dread the
harvest Of distress and blight in store
for it, But the idea Of cometary in.
iIncnce on the atmosphere can hardly
bc entertained by scientific men. The
TACT has been attested by long series
Of observations that these eccentric Wis.
Itanrs do not radate sufficient heat to
affect the most sensitive mercurial ther>
mometcr yet constructed and from that
it would So. m to follow that the popu-
lar notions of their mctcoroiogic agency
have 30 foundation. So far, however,
from occasionlng long dry spells, the
las hing train has been popularity re-
earded as the augary Of bountifuI
harvest and vintage. The comet OF

the prolific aud abundant crops which
were almost universal in the Old aud
New Worlds. Even now. in the latter
it is not uncommon to hear Of the comet
year, and wines lave sometimes been
sold at high figure, under the fancy of
some influence produced by the tail of a
favorite comet. 1t is said by close OBJ
servers that other comets of late years
have apparently had some physical in
fiuence in producing fine agricultural
yields, and it may be the spretroscope,
with its wonderful powers of analysis,
may ere long enable physicists to settle
the long agitated problem OF the con-
stitution and influence Of these vast me-
bulous streams.

were brought from the North 1t was
pitiful to see that fertile land thus
drained of its wealth, and the people
so dependent. That the planters of the
cotton States, under these frightful
disadvantages, still became rich, proves
the prodigious fertility Of the soil and
its capacity for producing wealth. That
they were able to spring from this de
pendent condition, and suddenly de-
velop such resources, and display such
prodigious fortitude and energy as the
recent war brought to the surface, is a
proof of what those States may become
under Ell improved economy.
Let the men of the North aud tn G
South understand each other. Let the
capital and skill come near the pro-
ducing soil. Erect the factory close by
the plantation, so that the man who has
cotton to sell and cotton goods to buy
for his use, may, with his own Demarara
team, send his bales to the mill 10 the
morning and bring back his cotton
goods aud spun-yarn at night-thus
getting the value of his labor, instead
of being put off with pittance per
pound, while factors and shippers, and
hucksters, and manufacturers three
thousand miles away, grow rich out of
his ltanness.
Under the better order of things
now coming in. each plantation sup.
plies It's own home wants. They are
beginning to produce grain, vegetables,
fruits and animals for their consnmp-
ton and small artizans and manutactu
rers of implements find employment
in their ncghborhoods. Cotton will be
a rich surplus; and in case of a failure
of a seasons crop, the planter can go
through without bankruptcy or crushing
debt to % his merchant"
This Is, to the South, the dawn of n
real independence-~bettcr ;han secession
aud slavery. With oblivion for all that
ranked in the past with mingling in
tcrcsts aud closer social ties, this peo,
pie will be what God intends, " one and
inaeparable."

CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES. - On
page 45i of Senator Wilson's " Rise
and Fall of the Slave Power in Ameri>
ca" he says (ot speech of the late Mr.,
Glddings) ); /" lie referred to the treaty
of Indian Springs, by which, after
paying the slave Holders of Georgia the
sums of $4,000 for slaves who had
escaped to Florida, it added the sum of
Sal, 900 as compensation demanded
for the offspring which females would
have borne to their masters had they
remained in bondage and Congress
actually paid that sum for children who
were never born, but who might have
been if their parents had remained
faithful slaves"
There is no clearer case of payment
of consequential damages" in English
or American history than this.
