grafton of their inhabitants The number thus lost it is not possible to ascertain with accuracy, because the number of na- tiYes of Southern States who had moved to the North before the war and still sur vived in 1870 Is not known. The census of 1870 shows, however, that 1925, 776 na- tives of the 13 Southern States were at that time living in other States; S39, 112 being whites, 1S6, ,455 being colored, and 209 Indians. With ordinary allowance for deaths during the decade of natives of the South who had migrated prior to 1860, the number of them remaining in 1870 cannot have been greater than 668,- GOO, so that the migration from the 13 Southern to other States during the last decade must have been at least 357, ,776. This number added to the Northern and at the same time taken from the Southern increase counts doubly in the comparison, and explains difference of fully 700, 900 in the relative progress of the two sections in population.
 Examination of the condition of indus try in the Southern States will show why this migration has been so large. The terrible loss of wealth, already consider ed, points to the same cause The loss of property and utter prostration of in dustry i'll that section have driven one thirteenth of it's entire population to fly to other States, and have caused loss to l3 States since the war closed greater than all the Southern armies suffered by bat tie and disease during the entire conflict.

 Sr LOUIS, July 23.-The cause tt which Horace Greeley devoted himself the cause of justice to the southern peo. ple-must surely, sooner, or later, be con sidered without passion or partisanship 1 will not believe that the sense of justice is dead in the Republicans of the North who contended SO earnestly for the abOli ton of slavery. will not believe that they have no sympathies which can be touched by the losses and disasters o1 white brethren at the South. If 1t were possible to believe them destitute of hu. manity, surely self-interest must soon arouse them to aid in restoring the indus. try and reviving the prosperity of large section of our common country, naturally as rich as any other, bu. now prostrated and impoverished. A Republican myself, I can appreciate even if I did not fully share the fears and feelings which pre-. vented Northern Republicans from seek. Ing relief for the South through the change in control of the Government pro. proposed at the last election, but now that the Republicans are secured in another term of power, they must surely feel the morekeenly that it is their duty not to deny justice to the people of any section. On ly because they do not understand fully the condition of the South, am convinc- ed, do they give so little attention to this subject.
 propose, therefore, to set forth facts officially established, which will show more forcibly than the strongest phrases of rhetoric what have been the losses and what Is the actual condition of the South ern States. Knowing the facts, a practi- cal people will devise a remedy, and Re publican sense of justice will demand its adoption.
 LOSS OF PROPERTY
 In 1860, the value of all property in the United States was officially reported as $16, 159, ,616, ,068, but ill this sum the cen- sus included the value of slaves. It had been estimated by Dr. Elder and other eminent statisticians that the valuation of slaves to be deducted from the sum in any correct statement of the wealth of the country in 1860, was not less than g. .OOO,- GOO, 900, or about $5OO each. The assessed and taxable valuation of personal proper ty in the slaveholding States in 1870 was over $3,O00, ,OOO, GOO, and fully two-thirds of it must have been of this description of property. As basis of comparison of the values of property in 1860 and 1870, then, deduct $50 for each slave reported in the several States in 1860, and the total value of property in the slaveholding States $4, SIG, ,327, 152, as the following ta- ble will show:

T HOMASTON.

We left for Litchfeld station, four miles off, and after transacting all the business on hand, we still kept on till VIC struck the valley of the Naugatuek, and halted at the town of Ihomaston, or old Ply mouth the great clock manufactory of Seth Thomas. We crossed the stream over beautiful covered bridge, and were i'll front of the large hotel, and on our left was the huge brick foundry in cop per &c., in full blast. Satisfying our selves with looking at the modern im- provements ill architecture, and wishing that John Greer was there to see the large match horses, carrying clocks to the de- pot, we soon found ourselves at the door of the factory, and by Georges acquaint- ance were admitted. We were introduced to MT. Chauncey Bidwell, who took us in hand, and showed us everything. We saw them cutting out patterns, turning, polishing, glueing, painting or veneering, clamping, &c., but the greatest curiosity to us was the simple manner in which ve- neering is made. Saw block about 5 inches thick put in the lathe, and the chisel soon cut it into ribbons about twenty feet long, leaving a small part of the block, which he kindly gave me with roll of the same wound round 1t to take home as memento. We were shown every pattern of clock they had, and it was curious to see the various styles which the show room exhibited. To give some idea of this concern, we will state that the buildings are three and four sto- ries high, and about one thousand feet long, employing an immense number of hands, who occupy the large number of beautiful tenement houses erected for their accommodation. They are not cab ins-not bit of it---but fine, modern, or namental houses, well painted, with every convenience q Connecticut man knows how to place about his premises. We were perfectly captivated with the town of Thomaston, which contains four thou sand inhabitants at least. They have 8 fine Catholic church, and long TOW of cottages for their especial comfort; also, fine Congregational and very pretty Episcopal church. The mansard and eve " beautiful style of building is here, and the workmen think as We do, that Thom- aston is the most thriving and prettiest place watered by the Naugatuck river

A SouThERNER RoRTH.

We had pleasant call, few weeks since. from Southern brother of the craft, one of the editors of The Greenville (S, O. Republican, on North ern trip. On his return he sent us paper giving some account of what he saw among us, from which we extract the fol- lowing:
 Facing drizzly northeast wind, we passed over the lovely roads, so common here every one of which make fine side walk for our Mountain City, perfectly de lighted with the fine farms and white res idences continually in view. On our left, We were shown large houses where great many families have made their summer homes, and everything in the way of com fort is to be seen on every hand. Beauti- ful large maple trees form avenues unsur- passed, and stairs attached to them, lead to high seats fixed among the branches, to make.the view pleasant and agreeable. In sight of these lovely summer resorts are beautiful and picturesque lakes N called ponds here--where visitors often repair, to engage in fishing and sailing in pleasure boats

In 1860, the value of farm implements
 in the 13 States was $S9, ,846, ,OO9 in gold;
 in 1870 it was only $55, ,821 ,280 in cnrren- cy; loss of more than one-haH Yet the
 cost of implements has generally advanc- ed, so that the number in use in these
 States must have diminished more than one-haH. Meanwhile, in Delaware, Mary land, and Missouri, the value of farm inn plements has increased $8, 600, 900 in cur- rency.g In 1860, the 13 States had 2, ,O99,
 401 horses; in 1870 the number had de- creased in every State except Texas, and was but ], ,795, ,459. Meanwhile the num- Der in Delaware, Maryland, and Missouri
 had increased from 470, 900 to 600, 900.
 In 1869, the 13 States had 2, ,974, ,O53 milch
 cows; in 1870 the number had decreased in every one of these States, and was on- ly 1,546. .S26, little more than one half. In South Carolina the number was only
 one-fourth sas large as in 1860, in Tennes- sec less than one-haH, in Virginia and Texas less than one-tenth. What is the meaning of loss Of nine-tenths of all the

It is we'll known that the decennial gain in the population of the. United States,
 which had been about B per cent in each decade prior to the war, has materially decreased in the last decade. In the Southern States, less aided by immigra- tion than the Northern, the ratio of in- crease had beeh, prior to 1860, about q per cent in c decade.
