which the use of a thing is lost sight of

New Southern Leaders Wansed.

| New Southern Leaders WanSeU
The Norfolk Day Book, after allud
ing to the fact that the politicians Of
the South who led her on to secession
have not even given the people of that
section one word of good advice since
the termination of the late struggle,
but that whatever has been effected
was done by few of the military lead.
ers, says:
To our mind it argues that the South
needs new leaders entirely. Men who
mislead the people, who involve them
in such great calamities es the South
ern people have Lo2n involved, and
then and there leave them to struggle
out the best way they can, while they
stand off aghast, paralyzed, with a
nobility or inclination to come forward
and help the people out, are not the
men that should be suffered to take the
lead in future.
While this is the true state of the
case, and is really an ugly showing, we
admit that it has had some excuse or
palliation. Immediately after the
war terminated so diSastrously, and
before matters could settle down and
assume shape, there rushed to the tri-
bunes of the people-the press-a lot of
probably the worst demagogues that
ever afflicted an unhappy country
These individuals got possession of the
press, and from that standpoint they
welded ithe power of leadership, to
the exclusion of better men, who could
not approach the people from the ros-
trum, for the reason that the disturbed
state of affairs then existing, together
with the great distress on the public
mind, would not allow of public as
semblages- is to say, no public
meetings of considerable numbers of
persons could be gotten together to dis
cuss what was best to be done. The
press held supreme sway, and, unfor-
tunately for our people, many of those
who sway the press, and, through the
press, the sentiments of the people,
were the very worst persons that could
have been called to that important duty.
They have proved themselves hothead-
ed and unwise, giving in all cases the
very worst iadvice, sustained by the
meanest appeals to passion and pre-
judice; and this has but added to the
calamities Of the war, and sunk the
people into still greater grief.
1t ought to be evident to every cam
did person that if the matter of adjust
ment after the war could have been
by those who were sat the
'front.'" and those who really suffered
by the war, all things would long since
has been adjusted to the satisfaction of
the majority of the Southern people,
and prosperity would in less than eight
years have returned to the land and its
But it appears not to have
been the desire of those who unfortdn-
ately got possession of the power of |
public sentiment in the South, for a re-
storation of good feeling, peace, quiet,
and prosperity; and we suppose this
has really been the case; such charac-
ters can only flourish in times of un-
rest, strife, and the non-existence of
public confidence. They are dema-
sogues of the lowest order, and pros
per only on the distresses of thers.

another CLEAN of. Railroad Hope. .

Another CLEAN of Railroad Hope. s..
{ We hear from an undoubtedly reliable
source that President Bridges, Of the
Wilmington & Augusta Railroad, and OF
the Charlotte, Columbia e. Augusta Rail
road, has said unreservedly that if the
town Of Edgefeld, and the country in
terested, will give him Thirty Thousand
Dollars, he will build a aRailroad from
Edgefeld to some point on the G. G. d A
r. R., East of the Pine House; and that
he will no. only build it, but equip 1t
and set it in operation. This offer is SIM 4;
ply magnificent, for Of course President
Bridges would have to add another $780,
OO0-or even more What may be the
motives of President Bridges in making
this strikingly liberal offer-or rather
expressing his willingness to make tit
matters not for us to enquire. The road
he would thus build would undoubtedly
Be our salvation, and that is enough for
us to know. Our duty to ourselves first;
in this sort of affair, at all events.
AS to our people not giving him the
proposed $4,000, we scott at the idea
ofcourse they will do so promptly and
gladly. If they will not, then high
wall should be built around them, sepa.
rating them from the world of progress
and enlightenment, and civilized people
should come and gaze sneeringly at them
while they die in poverty, ignorance,
palsy and dry-rot!
But in the full assurance that there
will be no difficulty about the $4,000,
we now call upon the Committee ap-
pointed at our last Railroad meeting, for
the purpose of applying to the Legisla-
ture for charter for Railroad from
Edgefeld Court House to some point on
the c. C. q A. r. R., to be up and doing.
Not day should be lost The Legisla
Gure is now in session; and the sooner
the application is made, the better. Un-
der any acknowledgements or no
promise, prospect or no prospect-shls
charter should be secured.

NEW YORK, October 26.
The effect of the late financial troubles
are beginning 10 be felt among the work
ing classes in many trades. A large num-
Der of operatives were discharged at tht
close of the week for the want OF en-
ployment or for the want of funds to pay
them. Three manufactures closed or
Saturday night indefinitely. The en-
ployees in one establishment were offered
work at reduced wages, but the men re-
fused to work for wages below those es
tablished by the Crispin Society, anc
were consequently discharged. Nearly
every trade is affected similarly. Th'
G. gar makers have heen informed thai
their wages will be reduced to the rates
Of last year.
The nanforth Locomotive Works In
Paterson, NJ employing FIVE hundred
hands, will soon stop. Strong's SILK
Works are now running on half time.
A dispatch from Pi.tsburg, Pa, says that
the managers of the Cambria Iron works
at Johnstown have given notice to the
workmen of a suspension of payment OF
wages until such time as money can be
collected. The company will guarantee
to employees all necessary supplies to
the extent of their earnings.
CoHoEs, n. Y, October q.
The Harmony Cotton Mill, the largest
of its kind in the world, will close to-
night indefinitely. 1t is probable that
the woolen manufacturers will soon fol-
low this example. The closing of the
Harmony Mill is not owing to financial
difficulty oranything else connected with
the money stringency. 1t is merely in
frlfillment of the annual custom.
NEwBURe, n. y, October 25.
Owing to the stringency, the Newburg
Steam Mill has stopped. Four hundred
