GROWING BETTER.

The New Nork Tribune has gathered
deal OF information from the manu-
featuring districts, in reviewing which
it says: THE conclusion to which one
must arrive, alter perusal OF those
letters and papers, is that the condition
of the country is improving rather
than otherwise. Here and there some
distress is eminent; and, in not few
places, The winter prospect is gloomy.
But it is evident that the effects of the
prostration Of business have been ex-
agge!atcd. Indeed, how far the fears
of those most likely TO be effected have
geryel to deepen the depression, We can
only guess Our correspondence shows
that there is much apprcheusions and
very little distress. Operatives in New
England manufacturing fowls are
most likely to suffer from coming hard
times. Westward, the pressure grows
lighter; and the great mining ard
iron-working districts OF Ohio and
Western Pennsylvania withstand the
panic much more cheerfully than pos
slhly could Lave been expected"

The New York Times groups ,ogeth-
er accounts from correspondents Of the
condition of manufacturing operations
in New York, Massachusetts, Eastern
Connecticut and Pennsylvania. Like
those previously published, they show
that, while there has been a great fall-
ipg of in the amount OF work done, yet
in many quarters sufficient employment
is given TO enable the workmen to exist
comfortably, if they are willing to yield
a little on their part. Courage, faith
and forbearabce for little while, and
there will be plenty OF work for every
body by aud by.

TRUE WISDOM. - General Ma,
hone, the great railroad man, being
asked how the South would feel il
the President were to become the
modern Caesar, remarks very truly
that she should have nothing to do
at present with national politics.
She is now in such bad odor with
Northern men Of all parties, that
her adhesion to any candidate or
any party is enough to seal their
political fate.
"Thcre is where we made the
mistake in the last Presidential
campaign, and that is why Greeley
was defeated. There was a big
split then in the Republican party
of the North, which, if it had been
taken advantage of judiciously,
might have defeated Grant and
elected Greeley; but as soon as
the Southern States held convel I
tons and endorsed Greeley, then
the people Of the North looked
upon him as our candidate, and his
doom was sealed. Had VIC OF the
South said nothing, but stayed at
home and attended to our business,
and then gone to the polls and
voted, Greeley would have been
elected. We ought to have moth
ing to say in regard to national
politics. What we want to estab-
lish is our pccuniary and material
independence, control our State
governments, manage our domestic
affairs as far as they will allow US,
live peaccably and orderly as good
citizens under the Government,
rendering unto Caesar the things
which Caesar eXacts as his, and
quietly await the development Of
events"

Impressions Of AbbeVillo.

4 correspondent Of the Charleston
.Nrscs writes the following letter about
the people Of our town and our
county:
The Athens Of South Carolina, as
this inland town was fondly termed
by its citizens, well deserves the name.
for, though shorn Of many of its for
mer gIorics, it's prestige remains, and
the present generation snstains it's
timc-honored reputation. 1t is fully
forty years since the writer visited
Abbevillo, and during that lapse OF
time many changes have occurred.
Then. DR.. Waddell's famous school
was considered the only place where
the Carolina youth could receive the
advantages Of education and be under
the watch!ul care OF one who made
studies pleasure. The town Of Alb
bcville WAS then in its Infancy, and
the district but sparscly populated.
Now it is called the Banner District,
and the descendants Of the worthy
families who formed the society, OF
the past, maintain the lessons Of ru-
rity aad honor taught By their faith
erS.
The people arc refined and cultiva-
ted, and exercise that generous hos
pitaiity which is 4 leading trait Of the
Carolina gentleman. The climate is
delightful, with warm bNt pleasant
days and cool nights. The two re-
cent fires were . sad blow to the
advancement of the town, and Able
vile, alas, has not the recupcrative
power Of Chicago to arise, phoenix
like, from hcr ashes. Notw; ;thstand-
ing these drawbacks, the citizens do
not rcpine; the marks Of the fire will
soon be ,tfaced, and with tho new era
Of q South freed from noisome po!iti-
cirns, Abbeyillc will be foremost i'll
The stride for prosperity
The planting interest Of the country
is represented to be in tlourishing
condition. Large investments were
made in fertilizers, and with improved
cultivation the harvest smiles upon
the land. The introduction Of the
Order Of Patrons of Husbandry in
this State has met with considerable
favor, and this Grange is well patron
lied. The intercourse ofthe members
has engeDdercd q free interchange OF
ideas on farming subjects that must
be Of mutual benefit. With every.
thing to please, Abbcvillo only lacks
the opon harbor and sea breozc OF
Charleston; but without these it is Il
most delightful summer resort, and
heartily appreciated by
AN OLD SALT. :

THE >,AIR-L1NE RAILROAD. - A
correspondent Of the Phrni1 thus
speaks of the new impulse which
the completion Of this road has
given to the business Of the up
country:
"This whole upper country has
received fresh impulse and a new
infusion OF life from this new rail
road. It is rapidly attracting busi-
ness and travel from our upper tier
of Counties, and Our old roads must
bestir themselves, increase their
accommodation and lower their
freights, if they expect to compete
with it. Trains will in a short time
run, through regularly, and the line
be formally opened to Atlanta for
travel and freight. 1t will be i'll
augurated by a grand excursion
from Charlotte and intermediate
points to Atlanta. We may judge
what would be the effect upon this
place and section Of the completion
of the Blue Ridge Railroad, and of
a connection with the North-w est
by observing the impetus which
has been impaired to it by the Air
Line
