LIZ the northern manufacturers can
afford to buy cotton, pay freight, insur-
ance and other charges, and make for.
tunes by converting it into cloth, the
inference is legitimate that to manu-
facture it at home, will pay astill larger
profit. Fit pays to ship crude iron
ore to Pittsburg, iron refined by smelt-
ing, will pay better, and even better
still If wrought into bars-and all other
needed forms, by home furnaces, forg-
es and rolling mills and foundries.
Such establishments will add largely
to the wealth of the South not only by
bringing the raw material to its maxi
mum value, in the markets of the
world, but by diversifying home in
dustries. giving profitable employment
to women and children and inviting
immigration. The great need of the
South is diversity of pursuits and
nothing can elevate it to the position OF
greatness for which nature intended
it, so surely or speedily, as system of
manufactures adequate to the CONVEX
sion of its cotton, It's ores and all other
materials into whatever forms will
give them their highest market value.
The effect Of such system will be to
give employment to large number of
skilled laborers, to stimulate industry,
educate home labor and afford home
market for the surplus products ofthe
soil. Every branch ofindustry will be
made prosperous, and the more pros
porous, the more they are diversified.
But instead of this policy, so obviously
wise, the passion OF the South is for
more raw cotton and more railroads
to carry it North at the triffiing cost OF
untold millions of dollars paid for
northern breadstuffs, and three times
the price of its cotton when sent back
home in the shape Of fabrics.

The Evangelical Alliance Gathering
from Every Part of the Wolrd.
From the New York World.

| L
The proceedings of the Evangelca
Conference which formally assembled on
Friday last have in the main closely &C
corded with the objects for which the
Evangelical Alliance was formed That
Alliance is in no sense an ecclestical body.
aud the churches Informally represented
in it are in no way committed to the pro
ceedings of its conferences 1t is merely
an association of Protestant Christians.
who have organized for the ostensible pu-.
pose of promoting harmony among the
several elements of Protesta tisui, and of
| combating tendencies hostile to the unity
and integrity of that branch of Christian
ity. Former conferences of the Alliance
have been chiefly noticeable for the pro
test which they have passed against real
or supposed infringements of religious
liberty by governments inimical to pro
testants, or certain sects of Protestauts
And though these protests have not been
very graciously received by the govern
meuts to whom they have been addressed
they have, we believe, in some instances
had the desired effect But the Confer.
ence now in session will take no action
upon the grievances, if such there be, of
prosecuted or i'll used Protestants 10 any
part Of the world. There are certainly
no grievances of the character named to
accupy the attention of the Conference
on this side of the Atlantic and at this
distance from the scene of all religious
persecution or restraint the gentlemen
composing the Conference can perhaps
more proftably devote themselves to pure
ly evangelical subjects. As was said by
DIR. Woolsey, in his opening address on
Friday, they have assembled mainly be-
cause they all agree in believing in the
communion of the saints and even though
there there be some lack of sanity
toleration in the organization and the
tone of the assembly, that communion
may perhaps be accepted as typical of the
object of their coming together. For the
communion of saints is necessarily the es
sence of harmany, and the prime object
of the Alliance is to promote harmony
among its several branches. The topics
discussed on yesterday all had some
rotation to this parise worthy object, and
excepting an occasional growl at the
Church Of England. the general tone OF
the discussion could hardly fail to soften
denominational prajudices and promote
spirit of liberality between the members
of the several denominations But the
Evangelical Alliance has thus far evinced
no charity for Catholics, whom perhaps
few even among the members of the Con.
ference would venture to place without
the pale of Christianity. And when
few intemperate speakers name Cath
oicism and inideity in the same breath,
as the two great foes Of the Alliance, they
encourage a spirit which under circum
stances of less restraint may find express
sion as between Protestant denominations.

What We Buy Abroad.

The United States, during 1872, im,
ported foreign goods to greater value
than during any previous year. The im-
ports Tor the year amounted to the large
figures of S677,l45,2 ,279 iu gold-over
SS7 600 600 more than during 1871. OF
this immense importation about one fifth
came 10 as free goods, being chiefly the
raw materials of foreign production, en-
tering into American manufacturers
The other four ffths paid duties, and
these duties were the chief source Of rev
enue Of the Treasury during the year. OF
the aggregate importatins only sixteen
millions came into the country overland
from Canada and Mexico.
The greater portion of the import trade
is usually made up Of a few classes of
staple articles, and more than one half of
the imported values of lS72-some $780,
600, ,000-was composed Of sugar and mo
lasses, coffee, cotton, wooden and silk
goods, and of iron and steel manufactures
thereof
The heaviest importation was of sugar
and molases and their man ufactures The
value of these articles was over 500, 600,
900, this being nearly Que seventh of the
entire trade. The second was woolens,
Of which we imported nearly So, ,000,-
600 iron and steel were third in the list.
England and Germany sending us nearly
$62, 100000. The fourth article was cot
fee, of which we got S42 100000. The
fifth, cotton goods, $50 900. 600, and the
sixth. silk goods. S35 600 900. These
six clases, or articles made up more than
Que half of the import trade of last year.
There are several other articles of which
we also received large amounts from
abroad. Thus of tea, during 1872, We
imported over S24 500,0 600 of hides and
leather, $2S, 600, 900 of fax and linen
goods, nearly s23,0O0,00o. Nearly H.
600, 900 Of chemicals also came iu, exclu-
sive of large amount of acids, salts aud
similar goods that are separately classified
Of foreign fruits we consumed $ll, 800.
600 worth of tin, over 81 900, 600, and
of foreign woods and furniture, Sll ,OOO,-
900, S9,000,0 900 worth of foreign wine
was imported, aud a little more than that
amount of Cuban tobacco aud cigars !" e
got nearly ten millions worth OF bread
stufIs. OF foreign crockery, nearly SIX
millions came in and nearly seven millions
of foreign glass We also took over seven
millions of India rubber, while the growth
of our silk factories is attested by an i'm
portation of nearly seven million dollars
worth of ''raw silk ."-!hladeiphia

How a West Chester Drover Lost His
Money.

Lawrence John is a drovcr that resides
at West Chester. He was in the city on
Monday and in the evening he went to
the depot for the purpose of going home
While there man approached him said
that he was from West Chester also, and
asked him if he knew certain persons,
residents of that place. Mr. John respond
ed in the affirmative. Finally the stranger
invited Mr.. John to go and take drink
pany him to Third and Chestnut streets,
where he had left his baggage. Mr..
John agreed to this, and the two started
out together. After proceeding about a
square, a third party stepped up aud said
to No. 2, "Well, I've sent your baggage
to the depot, aud now want $3.50"
No. ? examined his pockets he only had
a twenty dollar greenback and some gold
He didn't want to give the gold, so be
asked Mr.. Johu for loan Of Sl30 until
he could get back to the depot. "My
wife" said he, has the money in her
satchel, and you can get it from her, or
you can take this gold for security" Mr.
John had probably read of swindles by
bogus gold pieces, as he utterly refused
to have anything to do with the gold,
remarking Il will wait for the green
backs" No. got his money and de
parted No l then said to Mr. John 4:
Here's my umbrella. My vile will
recognize it. You take it to her and tell
her that sent you for the money" Mr..
John took the umbrella. No. 2 wanted
to take drink, and stepped into tavern.
Mr. John continued to the depot aud
looked for woman, but couldn't 6ud
the one he wanted lie did not see any
more of his new made friend. He is now
the owner of a pretty nice umbrella, but
it cost him exactly $3.50. BaHetia
