SOUTHERN Observation-Disclosures
paper correspondents who are making
tours of the Southern States report that
new manufacturing schemes of all sorts
are much talked of, and that there is
a fair prospect of d revival of industry.
Revival is hardly the word, however.
1t is rather a creation. The districts
which before the wal were destitute of
the slightest trace of manufacturing
enterprise, are those which are now in
dicated as the LOwells and Manches-
tiers OF the future, and the only draw
back to the accomplishment of the de-
sired results is want of capital. Yet
the statistics of the experiments already
made show hat the promise of a good
return for investments is not without
foundation. One correspondent writes
that "the past five years have witnessed
a great revival Of the old yearning after
machinery, that the land is half secret
~ oyerrun with surveyors and specu-
lators IN mill property, who are pros
pectlng for advantageous situations for
future factories, and that those mills
which T already at work, cotton mills
especially, pay dividends which are al
ready beyond betief.n Dividends of
twenty-five per cent. per annum are
said to be common among the few mills
now in operation, and in one instance a
profit OF fifty per cent. has been OBJ
tanned. The same correspondent dwells
upon the advantages of Southern mills
over those of the North, arising from
the facts that they use the cotton fresh
from the field, before its staple has been
subjected to the pressure of baling that,
the cost OF bagging and hopping and
transportation is saved, and thatthe de-
yelopment of the new coal fields of the
South will make fuel cheap, and so re-
duce the outlay for motive power.
These are strong points, andif thought
full and sensible SOutherners can be
brought to see that the use of their own
resources and the application of their
own hard labor are the real processes
through which wholesome rehahilita-
ton must come, the next census will
exhibit a striking contrast to that of
