1t is rot often that John w. For
ney has anything good to say Of
the South, says the Savannah Re
publican, either present or pr0spec
tive hence the following view Of
our future under the influence Of
the great staple, cotton, may be re-
garded AZ candid as 1T is true. He
says in the Philadelphia Press OF
the Goth. and We desire to call to il
special attention
Hitherto it is said that less than
one fifteenth of the cotton crop has
been worked up in Southern factO-
ries. Yet water power and coal
abound in the cotton districts, and
if the proper effort were made skill
ed labor and capital could be OBJ
tanned there, as easily as elsewhere,
and by thus bringing the factory
and the plantations together a large
item in the cost of transportation is
saved.
"The time is coming when one
third if not ODe-half the cotton of
the South will be made into yarns,
at least, in that section, and, when
it does come, what has been the
poorest portion of the country will
become the richest. Stimulated by
the greatly increased home market
for food, grain, farming and grazing
will then be no less profitable than
cotton growing. Thus there will
be practical diversity of indus
tries with its resulting prosperity,
and there will be no longer an ex-
cuse for exhausting and abandoning
to worse than their primitive wild.
ness whole tracts of land.
Let but the Southern people gen.
orally be stirred by tins industrial
awakening, eschewing the rancOrs
of politics, except to see that neither
demagOgues nor carpet-bag adven-
turers misrepresent them, and q
glorious future awaits them,-an
era of wealth, business activity,
peace, and good feeling, which shall
consign to a perpetual oblivion the
desOlation, and bitter
hatred which resulted from the war;"

~ Late dispatches from Terre
Haute, Indiana, say that Mr.. Vor-
bees is still omnipotent in his dis
trict, and that even Greeleys ad-
hereDts will support him for Con-
gress or for any political position.
BY fixed, unalterable adhesion to
the Democratic party, he has won
rather than lost caste, and gained
rather than lost influence in the
West. 1t is not the less true that
the people have Invested themselves
of partizanship for the nonce, and
are devoted to the single purpose
of dethrOning despotism.

1t seems to me that we are obtain
ing a clearer view of the actual con-
ditiOn of things as the time ap-
proaches for the meeting Of the
Democratic Convention at Balti-
more, and 1 should not be surprised
if that body determined to nominate
a Democratic ticket for President
and Vice President The faith of
the Democracy, and the belief in its
inherent strength, are becoming
more apparent as the merits or de-
merits Of Greeley are discussed, and
those of his advocates ventilated.
And there are many other reasons
tending to this result, such as the
preserving the integrity Of the par
ty, which must be endangered, if
not destroyed, by the advocacy OF
old Horace, and the driving over to
Grant all the Democrats who are
implacable in their hostility to Gree
lev. The men, for instance, who
agree in opinion with voorhees,, and
who believe that the Democratic
party is strong enough, per %, to
defeat the Republicans when divid.
ed between Grant and Greeley. In
addition to this, there seems to be
very general concurrence in the be-
lief that the delegates should go to
Baltimore untrammeled by instruc-
tons. 1 never did believe in the
doctrine of instruction, for it was
one of the first lessons 1 learnt in pol
itics when q member of the South
Carolina Legislature, years and years
ago. Hence it is that, 1 have looked
with great interest to the county
conventions, where the efforts of the
Greeley advocates to instruct the
delegates have been pretty generally
defeated. In addition to this, the
gush for Greeley, which threatened
to sweep away all the old landmarks
and place us high and dry on terra
incognitd, has very nearly subsidized ;
and l know of instances where meet
ings called to endorse the Cincinnati
nominations, have been postponed
" for the present"
In my own particular case, 1 am
now were 1 always was, having fol-
lowed the Democratic banner from
the first organization of the party in
1910, down to the last election and
in all that time, exceeding over a
period Of thirty-tw0 years, 1 have
never given any other than Demo
cratic vote. This I did on principle,
for being party man, 1 have made
it a rule to vote for the Democratic
nominee on all occasions. Hence it
is that, I shall still pursue my old
line of conduct, and if the Conven
ton at Baltimore dominates Horace
Greeley, 1 shall vote tor him. But
1 hope that it will do the clean thing
and stand by the old flag, " sink or
swim, survive or perish" This is
not blind adhesion to party. 1t is
principle. 1t is conduct. 1t is char
acter. When the platform is con-
structed and you recognize its prin-
ciples as constitutional, then having
taken your stand upon it, honor de-
mands that you should stand there
for life and death, conceding imma-
terial issues for the general good ;
and this is the secret cause of the
harmony which distinguished the
Democratic party until the fatal
Charleston Convention of 1850, when
the Demon of Discord rent it in
twain, and delivered up the South
into the hands of the oppressor.

tisers are usually governed in the
selection of papers by locality and
circulation, and any attempt to Sc
cure a uniform schedule, even in a
single State, seems to be impracti-
table. Each publisher must be the
Judge of the value of his advertising
space, and it should be his province
alone to determine the rates and con-
ditlOns on which advertisements are
to he published by him. The pro-
life source of confusion in the bust
ness of advertising is not SO much
in the variety of rates, as in the
lack of system in which the rates
are severally determined and in the
too general deviation therefrOm.
Advertisers and advertising agents
are becoming the masters of the sit
nation, and are, in many instances,
debating to the press, the terms on
which they will extend patronage.
Some of their propositions are SO far
below the rates fixed by the publish
er, that they might justly be regard
ed as insulting were it not for the
anxiety which too many manifest to
fill their columns, or which we may
attribute to that self-sacrificing, COM
promising and conceding spirit which
characterizes SO many journalists of
the present day. Hence, the leading
advertisers and advertising agents
of the country, attach but little, if
any Importance to the advertising
rates published in the several news
papers, or filed in the Offices Of the
agent or advertiser. The press Ger
tainly can remedy this too rapidly
growing evil, by such manly adhe-
renee to their rates as is usually OBJ
serbed in the transaction Of other
business. A merchant who will in

Hoffman and Church-whom Mr..
Greeley, by pen and tongue, has
impoverished the vocabulary of in
vective to traduce.
OF New Jersey, it may be said that
the State-true to Democracy when
every other Northern State failed
during the years of the war-has
yet given no cOuntenance to Mr..
Greeley's nomination, and but one
paper either party, of over two hun
bred published in the State, gives
Mr.. Greeley a support.

OF all States, however, Pennsylva-
MIA is the most unreliable. Her
large indifferently informed mining
population are as fittul and uncer-
tain as the April wind, and one I'M
fortunate quotation from Mr.. Gree
ley's endless writings would turn
the force of their terrible energy
against him. No astute politician
will need be informed that when a

The Indiana Sentinel relates
the following astonishing dream.
which it vouches for aStrutb:
A gentleman Of high social posi-
ton, living in this county, has a
son engaged as clerk in a large
mercantile house in Omaha. A few
weeks ago the father received a let.
ter from his son stating that he had
been robbed Of $4,000 belonging to
his employer while returning from
a collecting trip into the country.
The father was naturally troubled
by the intel igence, when he retired
to his room he lay awake some time
thinking ofthc unfortunate occnr-
renee. AT last he fell asleep, and
it seemed to him as if he was sitting
by a table in a bed chamber of the
Hotel Of Omaha, listening to
the conversation Of two young men
who were recalling the particulars
ofa robbery in which they had been
concerned, While they counted over
tie proceeds Of the same with an
exultant air. Learning the mum
Der Of their room, he descended the
stairs, consulted the register, fixed
their names in his memory, together
with the date under which they
were written, and then awoke. He
Immediately wrote a letter to his
son; requesting him to call at
Hotel, look at the register, and if he
found the name of John B. Wilson
aud James Frank inscribed on its
pages, under the date of November
l4th, to have the parties found, ar
rested aud charged with the theft
of the $4,000. The son followed
tile directions, and from a letter re-
@ived by the father yesterday, we
learn that said John Il. Wilson and
james Frank were arrested at the
said hotel-they confessed to the
felony, that s1,S13 of the money
was recovered, aud that tile Offend
ers had been sentenced to the Peni.

Girdling Limbs for Fruit.

A correspondent of the Hartford C0urdnt
after giving some directions in regard to the
care of fruit trees, removing grass and
weeds fIom the roots, manuring the soil,
washing the bodies with soapsuds adds /:
If you wish to retain the blossoms in
the shape of fruit, girdle the limbs. 1t has
been tried and found to be perfect sue
cess. In 1868, AIR. p. r. Russell, then of
Bolton, Mass, selected five healthy trees of
different varieties, and, when in blow, grid
led large limb on each. Those limbs had
double the fruit to be found on either equal
parts of the same trees, and the apples were
much larger and smoother. In 1860 he re-
peated the experiment with the same sue
cess The ial was made the same season
ON DIR. Gove's farm in Bolton, and with a
like effect. Mr.. Russell, removing to Vine
land, N. j., treated his trees in the same
way, and was again rewarded with apples
large and fair, that clung with tenacious
grip to their branches. The philosophy is
simple. Insects sting the fruit, which be-
coming sickly, drops to the ground. In the
spring, the sap goes up the woody fibre of
the tree, but returns in the bark. Girdle
the bark, while the tree is in blossom or
soon after, and the sap cannot return till
autumn, at which time the girdled parts
will have healed: hence the limbs, thus full
of sap, will have virtually enough to retain
the fruit. The channel around the limbs,
made with penknife, clean through the
bark, should be small, about half the width
of pipe-stem.
