A DESERVED TRIBUrE.-The VIII
mington Journal pays the annexed
handsome compliment to the Hon. J.
B. Beck, of Kentucky, which we take
pleasure in endorsing as fully de-
served:
There is no man in Congress from
either section who has endeared him
self 80 much to the good people of
the entire South as has Mr.. Beck.
His congressional career has been
marked by ability, dignity, devotion
to the Constitution and the Union,
which makes him q worthy successor
of that great Kentuckian, Henry
Clay, whose old district he 90 worth.
ly Representatives. has been no
step in Congressional policy of recou-
struction against which he has not
lifted up his voice and entered bis
protest. He has fought with signal
ability and boldness every move made
by the dominant party to humiliate
aud punish the South. His report in
behalf of the minority Of the Com.
mitteegupon the alleged disorders in
the South is one of the ablest, as it
is one of the boldest vindications of
our people and section against the
charges preferred by the President
and his minions for party purposes.

No Pay.

The members and attaches of the
General Assembly have not been paid
their per diem and mileage. The holders
of pay certificates, devoid of other means
of raising the wind, had either to 60
home without funds, leaving their board
and other bills here in town unpaid, or
else to discount their certificates to the
brokers or knowing ones Of the ring for
about half OF their value. This is no
hardship to q large number of members,
who have increased the amount they
would receive legally for their: per diem
and mileage, by the lucrative sale Of
their votes and influence during the
session; but to all honest members and
to the innocent pages, clerks, &C. many
Of whom are wholly without means
this failure to pay them their homes,
earnings is deep injury, and will cause
much suffering. II the State was bene'
6ted by such q course, there might be
some little excuse for it, but even then il
would be dishonorable. But who Is it
that profit by it? The brokers make O
little. Its legitimate business for them
but the bulk of the profits 60 to the f.
nancial ring. The State has finally to
pay the last dollar, and 1.-THE ring" make
from twenty-five to forty per cent. on
the transaction. This will give them
from $l5O,OO0 to 1000, in the one lit
tie matter Of the pay certificates.-Phe-

How TIE sourH CAN BECOME

How THE South CAN BECOME A
MANUFACTURING CouNTRY2-A writer
"Little John" in the Inst number o.
the Rural Carolinian thus answers:
"a sufficient amount Of capital to
start factory can be raised in any
country, by its landholders taking
stock to the amount Of ton cents per
acre on all their lands.
A general movement of this kind
would infuse new life into the moribund
corpus of our stricken State, and she
would spring from her desolation and
misery "as by the stroke of an en-.
chanter's wand" An impetus would
be given to the development of all
our industrial pursuits. Then would
immigration. and capital, and skilled
labor flow in upon US in ever increas.
ing streams, and we would realize the
prosperous condition, pictured truth
fully, we believe by 'Rusticus" in the
closing paragraph of his article"

At a meeting Of tho State Sunday
School Convention, held in May, 1870,
it was unanimously resolved that
another similar convention should be
held in Charleston on the Wednesday
following the second Sabbath of May,
1872. In accordance with the above
resolution, the superintendents, teach

ton upon the following ratio Of rep:
resentation Every Sunday school Of
so scholars, or less, l delegate; 80 to
100 scholars, 2 delegates; and for
every additional SO scholars, addi-
tional delegate. Arrangements will
be made with railroad companies to
bring and return delegates for one
fale. Endeavors will be made to se-
cure homes for all delegates who pur-
pose attending the convention, provi-
ded notice Of such intention be
given before the first of May. Great
good has been accomplished through
out the State by the last convention,
and the committee feel confident that
the contemplated meeting will give
still greater zeal in the Sabbath School
work. The names Of delegates should
be sent as early as possible. The
committee desire that this notice be
extended, rs they may not be able to
procure the address of every school
10 tho State, and it is their wish that

of school, name Of superintendent,
postofice,:: number of officers and
teachers, number of scholars, average
Of school, and number OF
volumes in library.

BUFFALoEs IN THE GREAT STORM
A correspondent of the st. Louis Reuie,v,
writing of the late snow storm along the
line Of the Pacific railroad, says: The
train was caught in o bank-it could
neither back nor 60 ahead. The wires
were tapped and dispatches sent to three
different quarters for men and shovels.
While the train was waiting the buffaloes
gathered from the plains to the lee side
for shelter. ..-
If any one had have felt disposed he
might from his seat in the cars pop them
over with his revolver-the rest would
not move-they could not be driven away
by the engine whistling or hnman voice,
but crowded their shaggy sides close up
to the cars. and there stood with bowed
heads for the storm to pass. Many were
seen to fall down in their tracks dead
from cold, and when at last the train
was dug out and moved off, the track
was lined with these huge shaggy frozen
carcasses.

Destructive Fire in Union.

The town Of Union was visited with 8
terribly destructive fire, yesterday morn
lag, which swept away both hotels, anc
seven OF eight other buildings, including
the Times Office. The loss Is estimated
at ~, 900, only a portion insured. W.
sincerely condole with the doubly aff1ict
ed town. Mr., Stokes, nothing daunted
is already making arrangements to re-
'sume operations. The paper had been
mailed only a few hours before the fire
broke out. We are indebted to him fol
the following description Of the work OF
the fire demon. p.
,ahoGZj UNION COURT HOUSE,
FRtDAY MORNING, March Is, 1872.
FRIEND SELBY: A fire broke out in
this town, this morning, about 4 O'Clock,
and destroyed great portion Of the
business part of Union. It was first
discovered around the chimney Of Mr..
VIM. Eller's store, in the second story
of the building. We had no fire engine
or any other apparatus for combating
fire, so that the destroying element had
1,full sway. A slight breeze sprung up,
and we could do but little more than
stand and watch it burn. ! cannot esti-
mate the loss, but it Is very great fol-
;this place. The buildings destroyed
were the brick block, belonging to
Mr.. II. l.. Goss, Mrs. Lamb, Capt. A.
II. Foster, the National Hotel and
, the Central Hotel. In, Mr.. Goss'
;building was Mr.. Eller's store, con-
tanning q large stock of dry goods,
groceries. hardware, dc. Reuben Sims
stock of groceries; the second story
was occupiSd by DR.. Bennett, dentist,
and the room lately occupied by Gen.
Jos. Gist. I don't think anything was
saved by these gentlemen. In Mrs.
Lambs building, Mr.. Gibbs occupied
the lower story as o drug store. he
lost everything. The Times Office
was in the upper story, and not q
type, or anything in the way Of ma
terial was saved-a total loss my son
saved my books. Capt. Foster, for
tunately, saved nearly all his heavy
stock of goods-of, course, 10 very
mixed up condition. A portion of
tho furniture in the hotels vas saved.
The wooden store belonging to Col.
y. L. Young, next to Mr.. Ellers store,
was also destroyed, fortunately no
cone occupied it, with some tenements
in,ssae rear of the store. A number
of eat-buildings were destroyed. Mr..
Tinsley and Dr.. J. A. Moore occupied
. building between the two stores
the first as q jewelers. store, and the
latter 40 q doctors shop. Mr.. Tins
ley's jswelry, tools, &C., were saved !;
but Dr. Moore lost all his surgical
instruments and medicines. A. W.
Thompson l. Co. occupied the building
adjoining the National Hotel. For
tunately their stock was very low,
and they saved dmost Of it. Two rooms
adjoining were occupied by colored
peopls-one shoemaker and the other
o little ,frnit and variety store. They
savedmost Of their property. Ilearn

President JuAREz is in luck. But
short time ago his government was
trembling on the verge Of overthrow.
Several Of the most important cities
of the republic were in the hands OF
tho reyolutionists; the federal troops
were diminishing aud demoralized,
while the victorious rebels appeared
to bs tho dominant party throughout
the whole country. Tho tables are
now turned. A special dispatch from
Matamoras confirms the report Of the
recapture of Zacatecas and the defeat
of tho revolutionists by the troops Of
Juarsz, and says that there is great
rejoicing over the victory among the
adherents Of tho government.

From the RuralC Carolinian ofMarch.l
Shall the South become q Manufaetu
.1E3 1 Iing Cointry.

Tt will not, be imagined, we feel
we'll assured, that there was any
design in the heading of. the article
in the January number, Ito dispar-
age or ignore the efforts already
,nadet test the question whether
the South could, or could not be-
come a manufacturing country F.; the
splendid success Of several large
cotton and and woolen manufcc.
turing establishments of this and
neighboring States has long since
removed all doubts as to the prac-
ticability of such enterprises.
The President of the Graniteville
Manufacturing Company, in his
last annual Report, shows grand
total of profits Of $500, 0,505.83, from
which amount, after deducting ex-
penses, ordinary aud extraordinary,
including dividends, taxes, insur-
ance, interest, repairs, improvements
and fifty additional looms, he is en-
abled to carry to the credit of the
profit and loss account $l87, ,63l.48,
this is on a capital of about $780,
600, without omitting dividends or
assessing stockholders.
The cotton consumed was 3,080-
123 pounds, or 6,845 bales, of $50
pounds each, costing $527, ,625.74.
and from which was manufactured
1854, ,s75 yards of Granitevile cloth,
o material the value of which, from
it's very general use and we'll known
excellence, may be readily estima-
ted.
The report of the President Of
the Augusta Factory, of June last,
informs US that this young enter
prise, with a capital Of 600, 900, has
a surplus to the credit cf profit aud
loss account of 1858, 1856. II, having
paid; out quarterly dividends of 5
per cent. each, amounting to $780,
600. It has manufactured 3,014,.
4e4 lbs, equal to 6,96S bales of cot
ton of, f,45O lbs. each, into s.527,72
yards Of cloth, 1t is estimated that
the gross profits arising from the
Augusta Mills in ST cents pei
pound.
If the South, says an intelligent
thinker, manufactured, her entire
crop at this rate, her savings, in
crop of four million bales, of 45(
youndsg each, would be $111, ,456,
666; more than half the value o
the entire crop; but of course, it il
not contemplated that tho South
could ever Manufacture her entire
crop;t it IS clear to demonstration
however: that every ponnd conver
ted into cloth is that much of thu
profits Of the labor retained at home
and as much material withdrawn
from the pabiic market, thereb!
ephaneang the residue.
