JoURNALlsTIc.-The good will and sub
scription list of the Rural Southland have
been purchased by Mr.. Jas. II. Hummel:
who has amalgamated that paper with Our
Home Journal, SO that hereafter these two
papers will appear as one under the title of
Orr Homo Journal and Raral Southland. The
ability which has heretofore characterized
these papers will be enhanced by the COM
bination of talent add energy secured in
the new arrangement. The objects of these
papers in the past have been the advance
ment of industrial and agricultural inter
ests, and though both have signally sue
ceeded in their mission, it is obvious that
these interests can best be subserved by
one paper alone. The change recommends
itself as on worthy of patronage, and,
doubtless, that will be forthcoming.

REMOVAL OF TIE CAPTTAI.-We are
pleased to see that quite number of our
country exchanges have taken up the sub
ject of the Capital and are discussing it
with considerable interest. We would like
to see more of the Republican press taking
stand in this matter and lending their
powerful aid in restoring the Capital to
Baton Rouge. 1t is not desired to make
the issue one of a party character, but to
make it one of the people irrespective of
party. The country must take the lead and
insist upon it, even if vote be Necessary
for that purpose at the ballot box. From
the city nothing can be expected but the
most determined opposition. 1t is not the
interest of city rings and brokers that
their prey should be removed from their
grasp, but it is for the country voice to in
sist that il shall be done. And do it we
can if we are but true to Ourselves.-Sagar
Planter.
The above contains this matter in nut
she'll and it is becoming thoroughly dis
cussed subject even by Republican journals,
and they will soon all be in line and max
ing a united effort in behalf of this impor-
that measure. This subject must be made
one of the people, regardless of partisan
feelings. Even now men of all parties are
expressing themselves freely on this ques-
ton, and it will eventually come before
the people for final settlement. Then
there is not a doubt as to the issue. We
do insist that the city plunderers shall no
longer control the Legislature, with their
rings and brokers, and that the State Capt.
tai shall be removed from the contamina a.
ton of their pestiferous and evil influences.

An INDUSTRIAL yrcrony-Tbe Charlie,

An INDUSTRIAL VICToRY.-The Charles
ton Ne,cs reports that the Southern cotton
mills are working full time and are making
money. They claim to have learned that
yarn can be manufactured in South Carroll
IA, shipped to the North, and sold there at
a net profit of five cents pound, after de-
Quoting commission and other expenses !;
and that certain class of cotton goods
sent North can be sold at profit of ten
cents pound. Yarns have also been ship
ped and sold in Manchester, England, ut a
profit of four and quarter cents pound
The N-cs therefore advises the Northern
manufacturers TO send their machinery
down South and establish cotton mills.

Fancy VS.. Facts.

Colonel Jno. w. Forney of "my two pa.
pers, both daily" has written book, en-.
titled Anecdotes of Public Men, which il
judged by the two following extracts,
might be more appropriately named as an
anecdote according to Webster is sort of a
fact, which we are certain one is not and
have our doubts about the other. Speak
ing of Governor Moore, Col. Forney says:
Perhaps no Southern Governor was in
more hearty accord with secession than
Thomas 0. Moore, of Louisiana.
Now, according to our recollections and
impressions on the subject, Governor Moore
yielded to secession only as an unavoidable
necessity which he would have been very
glad to overcome, by any honorable or
practicable course Again in regard to the
Seminary buildings, the location of which
was three and half miles from the river,
with pine forests and hills intervening,
and which was burned in 1869, the Colonel
gives this fanciful and fowery description :
There is no finer piece of architecture
than the military academy at Alexandria,
and when sa,o IL, with Colonel Scott's
party, as we passed up Red river on our
way to Texas, IN Juue Of 1872, was i'm
pressed by its exquisite proportions.
Not having read the work we cannot say
how many other Inaccuracies it contains,
but the two We have instanced will suffice
to prove to those acquainted hereabouts at
least, that the author did not hold in much
regarl Cicero's advice to historians,
"Let him not presume to utter any false
hood, but be bold in promulgating every
truth.
