Mnnufactures 10 che south.

The water power in Virginia and many of the
Southern States Is said to be as valuable as IN
any of the Northern States, and it is therefore, ex-
pscted that manufactures, If once fairly started
there, where cotton and wool is Produced abund-
antly, will prosper aud be more, certain to pay
large dividends than labor is more costly and
The raw material is not produced. The Charles
ION Is. C.) Nei0s and Courier says;
"The Southern cotton mills are working full
time and are making money rapidly: Let the
Northern mill-oWners come down South and they
can do the same. The statistics show that yarnt
can be manufactured in South Carolina, trans
ported to the North, pay commission OF i've pei
cent for selling, be sold at the cost OF Northern
production, and yet yield net profit Of cents 9
pound, Aud certain class of colored goods car
be produced here and sold in the North at the
cost of production of similar goods there, and ye
yield profit of over ten cents pound. The saw
ing in cost of materal, in wages, in commission
10 waste in transportation, ,&c, enables the South
srn mills to do q profitable business while th'
Northern mills lose money and when the North
cru mills are doing their beat the Southern mill
do still better"

The New CITY Hospital.

Resolutions were offered in the City Council by
Mr.. Quinn, which were adopted, authorizing the
necessary furniture for the city hospital for twelve
patients, and the employment of q superintend-
cut at $50 month and a nurse at $50 month
The next officer required VIII be an attending
physician. Mr.. Quinn also offered resolutions
which passed, authorizing circulars to be sent to
various shops asking aid for the hospital. Thus
we find in our report of the last evenings pro
ceedlngs of Council further steps in needless ex
pendlture of the peoples money.

The Chicago Journal suggests to the railway
companies which, In order TO make the new law
Odious, are putting up their freight rates to un-
reasonable figures, that they are making very
great mistake against themselves as well as the
public. The Journal instances as a result of this
policy, the fact thata merchant at oswegO, Ken.
dali county, forty-sx miles from Chicago, has es-
tabliShed a line Of wagons to that city to haul
produce to market, and, as the result of the OK
pertinent, finds that he makes a saving of over
$40 per wagon trip as compared with the railway
freight charges on the same goods.

Grant pesIres a war wIth Mexlec

Grant Desires q war with MeAico'
II was known about the close Of the war that
Gen. Grant desired to march the army through
the South into Mexico, and make conquest Of that
country. If this had been done and the South
been called on to furnish the men, it might have
afforded an opportunity tor many Of the Confed-
crate soldiers and officers to have taken position
at once under the old Aag, and tended to bridge
the bloody chasm" But war should not be de-
sired by any one. And it is thought the reason
for it can only be found in some political scheme
arising from ambitious designs OF the President and
administration. The resident Washington cores
pondents have no doubt been instructed to feel
the public pulse on this important matter, and
the writer to the Cincinatt Commercial insists
that Secretary Bslknap is determined TO bring
about war with Mexico; that he induced Me-
Kenzie to make his famous raid; that be openly
boasts that he is a "Rlibustsr !" and that he ex-
pects rupture with Mexico before the closS oi
the present year. Gen. Sherman opposes Bel
knap's attempt to provoke hostilities, but Grant
Is supposed to favor the Secretarys views. His
arSt Secretary, Gen. Rawlins, was q bold advo-
cate Of the annexation Of ofMexico, Canada and the
West Indies.
A row with Mexico might prove very costly
and looking at ill-auccess with the lnians had
better be avoided.

says Blaine forfeited all claims to his support

who is Responsible for the Salary

We have ne excuse to make for any man who
voted for the salary swindle but wecall attention
to the following brief but pointed editorial which
we clip from the New York Tribune:
Jealous Administration organs are wasting
columns Of space in vain attempts to show that
the Republican party is not alone responsible for
the salary SWindle, since the Democrats helped to
pass the bill. The scheme was originated by the
best embodiment Of Administration principles
and policy, Mr.. 3. F. Butler, and carried through
BY the Rspablican party, and all attempts 10
shift the disgraceful burden will be futile. The
Democrats undoubtedly helped the thing along,
bat If they hadn't it would have gone through
Just the same. The Administration ordered il, and
and Of course it was done. 1t was simple act Of
loyalty.

Good Advice.

Smile not at wicked speech,
though king should be the speak
er.
Envy is a thief that robs the
possessor of peace and the victim
of reputation.
Good words are like dewdrops-
they fall silently, but who can tell
their effect9
Real happiness is cheap enough !;
how dearly are we in the habit of
paying for its counterfeit.
AS daylight can be seen through
very small holes, so little things
will illustrate q persons character.
No mans life on earth is o sue
cess that ends without hope of a
better.
You cannot escape from anxiety
and labor, its the density Of hu-
manity.
If it is your duty to speak, re-
member there is also a duty about
the manner of speaking.
The shadows of mind are like
those of the body. In the morning
of life they lie behind us; at noon
we trample them under our feet /;
and in the evening they stretch
long and deepening shadows before
us.
He that is too good for good ad-

Shenstonc, an artist in landscape

How many milestones yet 10 pass

How many toilsome steps to climb

And yet with tcnderest love and care,

How many hours of patient toll

How many burdens yet to bear
Before the hands may rest
How many crosses--e're they lie
Calm-folded on the breast
Yet toll and burden, cross and rod,

How fierce the battle ere we win
The conqueror's robe and palm
How sharp the wounds before they feel
The healing drops of balm!
How loud the Bable s,rnds Of strife
Before the evening psalm
And yet, DER all, the Heaven extends
It's soundless deeds Of calm.
So, step by step, wo take the height
A patient, pilgrim band;
We lift the brr 'en, bear the cross,
With worn but willing hand;
And bent TO hear, amid the strife,
The Masters calm command;

earnest will to do his best. When
trade or profession is chosen, OBJ
stacles, be they large or small, must
not be allowed to stand in the way
of mastering that trade or profes-
sion. However much we may de-
precate the old time custom of in
denturing apprentices, the ys'em
in its practical results, operated al
most always for the lasting good OF
the apprentice. Generally, it in
sured to him good trade and a
wholesome discipline that fitted
him for success in business. At
the present time very many young
men undertake to acquire trade,
and after brief trial, abandon it,
because there are unpleasant du-
ties to be performed, and obstacles
to be overcome. They consider
themselves accountable 10 no one,
and come and so at the bidding Of
caprice, or an unsettled, uneasy
: mind. The result Of this is to send
out into the world young men who
e have not half learned their trades,
;. of ustablc character, who drift from
@ post to pillar, and who succeeded
: in nothing but strewing along the
70 highways of life melancholy wrecks
= of men. We would earnestly en-
a treat every young man, after he
70 has chosen his vocation, to stick tC
l. it; don't leave it because hare
n blows are to be struck or disagree

co who have worked their way up t
no. wealth and usefulness do not be
ed long to the shiftless and unstabl
at class, but may be reckoned anon
Ilv those who took off their coats, rol
sh ed up their sleeves, conqured thei
,ss prejudices against labor, and man
oo fully bore the heat and burden {
Ily the day. Whether npon the ole
of worn-out farm, where our father

ct back the soil to productivcncss, i

of the motto ever be perseverance ar

Cash and Credit.

Cash is recognized all over the
world as a very great convenience,
and that ready money is a source
of much pleasure, will not be de-
MED by any one. Credit may be
considered as a thing Of conven-
ience, but is ever regarded as
very dangerous commodity by the
honest man, and the person extend
ing it, while the lxnave finds it
source Of present supply, and en-
joys the discontinue of those
whom he may succeed in drawing
into his net. A distinguished
philosopher once remarked that
"even the best Of men occasionally
cut ludicrous figure with no cash
in their pockets" snd the business
men of the present day, being
aware Of the fact, are continually
exercised in efforts to steer clear of
that very numerous class of people
who make a great show Of respect
ability, and are always at their wits
end for supply of what is often
termed "the necdful." From the
manner in which the business oi
the country is carried on, one
would scarcely suspect that there
were many of this class of people,
yet they are quite numerous, and
our merchants know them better
than their nearest neighbors and
best friends.
AS an abstract proposition, nc
man should purchase what he can
not afford to pay for; and the re-
tail tradesman should not permit
himself to believe that he has the
right to give credit to any one.
But the very reserve of this is the
case. The merchant gives long
credit with, in many instances, no
assurance that he will ever receive
his pay, and the purchaser cuts O
dash upon the merchandise which
he cannot say is his own, and cul-
tivates distaste to the payment OF
his cash for what he buys, until he
comes to believe that his resources
are great, and ruin stares him and
his merchant both in the face be-
fore he has time to even dream o1
such result.
Bankruptcy begins in the par
lor," and the reason is obvious
The disposition on the part of hu-
manity is to ape the manners, GUS
toms and habits of those occupy
ing q more royal station in life, and
furniture, and dress, and the lux
uries of life are accessible, If the
cape" is permitted to extend his
credit beyond his ability to pay and
his extravaganza is INDUCED until
it results in general smash, which
is serious injury to the merchant
in the loss which he necessarily sus.
tains, and to the debtor, because
he can no longer enjoy his high
life, with his credit gone, and the
ability to secure even the neces.
saries of life taken away from him
1t is evident that the credit sys'
tenn is fraught with many evils
which tend to produce not only los:
to those who extend it, but very
, undesirable state of things in
community. and the evils of thu
system are patent to every one.
We do not wish to be understood
as arguing that credit should not
in any case, be given; but do In
sist that it should not be extended
where there is no prospect tha
payment will be made and tina
the country would be better off !
cash was the basis OF all retail
transactions, no one can deny.

Hereafter, labor comes to the front,
