THE article which we published last
week, from the Lexington, (Tenn.,) Re
porte, in regard to issuing bonds for
railroad companies, is equally as appli-
cable to other counties as to Henderson.
Another advantage not mentioned by
the Reporter is, that these bonds becone
the safest investment for capital in the
country, and the coupons for the annu>
al interest may be used as a circulating
medium. In connection with this sub.
ject, we take pleasure in mentioning
that Hon. PETER PEARSON, for many
years a member or the Legislature Of
Henderson, distinguished and infiuen
tiaI citizen OF that county, has taken
bold and decided ground in favor of =
county subscription by that county. He
says he is now satisfied from close obser
walton and experience, that it is the onI,
way in which railroads can be built
Henderson is now safe for the subscrip
ton, and that brings the Memphis anC
Knoxville road to the Tennessee river.

THE Clarksville Tobacco Leaf says
that "BEN. BUTLER truthfully char
acterizes the back pay seeking for
notoriety and popularity of WHIT
THoRNE and Others" The imputa-
sion is unjust and untrue, and I'M
worthy the reputation for fair deal
ing possessed by our contemporary.
Our Representative was actuated
by the purest motives, in his DISPOSE
ton of the back pay, and no one who
knows him well, except he possess a
little, mean soul, will persist in &C.
cusing him of demagoguery i'll the
matter. "Honi soft quit NAL y
pense." 1t is very strange that Edi-
tors will only attribute sordid mo-
tives to Gen. WHITTHORNE, when
they have not the slightest reason to
doubt his sincerity or the purity of
his motives. Out upon such Peck

The negroes are learning thei.
power in those States where they
have large voting majority. In
Mississippi, where they are very
strong, they are talking of electing
negroes to every office. Citizens OF
that State tell us that in many cases
they prefer the most ignorant ne
groes to the carpetbagger and the
scalawag, and the whites frequently
help TO elect the former. This is
deplorable, and there is only one
remedy, and that is in the immigra
ton of white people into the State.
AT present, there is no immigration
of whites, while negroes are con
stantly going into the State. White
Immigrants will not go into a State
ruled by negroes, without consider
able Involvement. Let the land-own-
ers of Mississippi offer to give homes
to white immigrants. Ii is better
that they should do this than that
their lands should be eaten up by
taxation. Ham CARTER, leader of
the negroes i'll Mississippi, says they
intend to make it so intolerable to
the white people that they cannot
live there. lie says, further, that
they intend TO make the whites edu-
cate all the colOred children. Thi-
is no idle threat, because the negroes
have the law. making power all IN
their own hands. Such are the le-
II innate fruits of radical reconstrnc-
on! We advise Mrssissippiens TO
Encourage While immigration by the
most liberal induCemns. tn,

teliigent whites should govern.
is the only way TO obtain good gov
eminent. The negroes act upon tn,
idea that there is q natural war 0
races, and it is folly for the whites TO
do otherwise than accept it for tn,
present. We feel kindly toward the
negroes, but they must wait until
they are intelligent and wise enough
to govern before they take the reins
all to themselves.

Ex-Governor Patton OF Alabama, in q
letter to the South. says that the divi-
dend paid by the Augusta cotton mills l.
over twenty per cent. a yer. A cotton
mill at Petersburg, Va, pays twenty
five per cent. year. One at Columbus.
Ga, pays over twenty per cent. Thu
mills in this State do At least rs Nell.
And at this very time the New England
mills are struggling along with small
profits and even talk of working shOrg
time, so as to reduce stocks and improve
prices. The difference between their
feeble and sinkiug condition and the vi
gorous activity OF the Southern mills is
accounted for by the Tive cents n
pound" advantage which the Southern
manufacturer has In his tilt with New
England, and yet we have but few fac
tories in Alabama EJchdRGc.
One fact like this is worth thousand
theories which aim to explain why it is
that manufactures Will not thrive in the
South. Tdey do prosper whenever good
husiness men conduct them, and on theiI
establishment in the future depends the
hone of Southern restoration; and not
restoration only, but an excellence anC
prosperity which she never attained IL
the past.

More Southern Histories of

as Governor Letcher, "Nfore the
Ito vindicate our people ~ -
the world, and show that theirs was tho
cause of righteousness, justice, and
truth" Early, the Richmond Dispatch
informs us, was greeted with loud APP
plause when he came forward. After
cordial welcome TO his comrades from
other States, he spoke ably tor the inn
portance of preserving the truth of his
tory in general and of the late war in
particular. He denied that success is a
criterion of right, and cited various his
tOric examples in refutation of this the
DRY. He denied the proposition that we
had submitted everything to the abitra-
ment of the sword, and had lost all, and
drew a vivid and amusing picture of
the newly pledged 10y trying to
keep step to the music Of John Browns
Soul is Marching On He belIe> ed that
Il day of retribution ID the North would
come, and that the present demOralZed
condition of the politics of the country
was but a token of the coming storm.
The South cannot escape the verdict of
history. We will go down to pOsterity
either as rebels and traitors or as patri-
OTIS, and we must see to it that the re
cord is right He would not trust eth
er our enemies or the nOn-com batants
among ourselves to tell the story for
pOsterity. He alluded to various mis-
representations on the part of Northern
historians, and dwell especially upon the
claim they make that the Confederates
outnumbered the Federals in .arly ev-
erv battle of the war. He sea thingIy
reviewed the claim of Mcclellan that
Lee Outnumbcred him before Richmond,
and OF Gen. Humphrey that Lee out
number ed Meade at GettySburg-tri-
umphantIy refuted them by facts and
figure. and said tn 1t he wondered that
some Northern man did no. claim that
Lee 0utnumbered G ram at Appomattox
He quoted from II lleck's and Pnpe'S
dispatches illustrations Of how North
pru history is manufactured. He was
very severe upon SO-called Southern bis
tories written by nOn~cOmbatAnts, face
tiouslv showed the difference between
figh ing battles on paper and in the field,
and insisted that the true history of the
war IS vet to be written by Southern
men who fought it. He insisted that we
had examples of true herOism unsur~
passed in all the annals of history, and
touchingIV compared the devotion of
Southern mother in the Valley of Moore
field, who devoted a noble boy to the
service of the country, with the story of
Cornelia the mother of the Gracchi. He
admitted that there was dark side to
tie picture in the lives of those who
skulked during the wal, and of those
who, with good war record, had de-
serted to the enemy since the war but
eloquently argued that people who
had given to the world Stonewan Jacks
