Manufacture the Step to Southern Greatness

We note from time to time the gratifying
progress of manufacture in the South. The
South, to insure her prosperity, must become
manufacturing section. 1t might at first sight
appear that the country that is the best able to
produce all the necessaries of life would be the
country in the most prosperous of all conditions;
nevertheless experience does not bear out this
assertion. The most prosperous sections are
not those where the conditions of life are the
easiest. In the old world the degree of pros
perity and national Importance is the greatest
where nature is the least kindly. The "great
powers" of Europe are all north of the line that
separates restricted produce from the lavish
profusion of nature that presents itself in Sec
tions nearer the equator. New England, too,
is not blessed with q genial climate. Where
man battles with the obstacles of nature, IT in
telligently, he wins in the contest; and though
he cannot grow cotton amid snow, nor raise to-
bacco out of an icebound soil, his righty-direc-
tedindustry will procure for him what will bring
all the treasures of more genial climes to his
feet. It is not, however, to be argued, as some
would say, that the presence of these obstacles
is necessary, nor that where nature is less Wig
orous man may not display the same energy
that characterizes him where lie is obliged to
put it forth. The question is at once effectual-
" answered by the spectacle of what is al
ready being done in the South in cotton manu-
factories and iron works; and even were this
example wanting, the success of young manu-
factories in India would be sufficient answer.
In becoming manufacturing section, the South
will enjoy an advantage, added to her enormous
capacity for production, which ought to give her
supremacy over less favored parts of the CONT
nent. With her natural resources rightly
developed she will need nothing from other
countries, while she will be able by degrees to
export almost every requisite Of civilized life.
In former times the wealth of nations was en-
hanced by conquest to a prodigious extent.
The world has pretty much outgrrown this bar
barous form of enrichment, but this other mode
ofneeding nothing and producing a asuperAuity
of everything, while it must benefit the world
must result in the unexampled prosperity of the
favored section.-Ihe South.

How White Republicans Love their Cclored
Brethren. -t4'~

4 few days ago gentleman passing the Court
House heard a negro man bitterly complaining,
that the Sheriff acas about to seize a mule auhich
auas not his to pay tar he did not o,ce. On in
ycstigating the case the facts turned out to be
precisely as above stated.
There was a return in the Auditors Office
filed and entered up, purportlng to be the re-
turn of the negro in question. 1t stated that ne
had twenty dollars worth of personal property,
but ,vas not signed By any one. The man denied
making the return, and said he had never au-
thorized any one to make it for him. That he
had no property of any kind Except an old
cart which was worthless, and that the mule
was not hired until February of this year. The
gentleman then informed the Auditor and the
Sheriff that the whole proceeding was unlawful,
and threatened to have any one indicted who
should attempt to touch the mule, or further to
annoy the poor ignorant colored man.
The excuse of the Auditor was the worst part
of the business. He said if be depended upon
getting returns from the colored people signed,
he would not have any returns at all from
them.
How do other people who have dealings with
colored people act? Did the Auditor never
hear of an ignorant mans signing by his mark
in presence Of witness7
Perhaps that little ceremonial might not be
so productive of costs to all the Republican Of
fcials concerned
Nor, was the Sherif's conduct any more JUS
tifable He knew the mule did not belong to
the negro. But the State could not for that
trifing fact lose the vast amount of thirty four
cents, and the Republican officials their three
dollars costs
No doubt there are many more cases just like
this.-Snater Watchn,an.

Advising Tom Marshall.

Tom Marshall at one time INDUCED in such
excesses that his friends became alarmed, and
determined to make an effort to reclaim him.
MIR. Mangum was designated to demonstrate
with the wild Kentuckian, and endeavor to i'm
press him with proper sense of the peril of
his position.
"Ill hear anything you have to say, Man
gum," said Marshall as the Senator opened the
conversation.
"Your friends have been greatly concerned
at the manner in which you have been con-
ducting yourself"
"Don't wonder at it. Been badly bothered
myself. Sent you here to talk with me- didn't
they?"
eyes they thought as I sometimes take
glass myself, my advice would have the more
effect"
"You drink too much, Mangum. I've been
thinking of speaking to you on the subject.
But what do you want me to do?'
'Your friends have the greatest admiration
for your genius and talents. They are confident
that With sobriety and application you might
reasonably aspire to the highest place under
the Government" .....s
"What do you think I could get?" ..
ri have no doubt you might be made Chief
Justice of the Unit d States"
"There's been one Chief Justice in my fami-
ly; I don't care to follow him." ....
"You might even hope to become Presi-
dent"
''No great credit to follow Captain Tyler.
But I tell you what I'll do, Msngum you
make me President of the United States, and if
1 don't make you Secretary Of State III agree

Southern Literature.

The New York Times lately contained warm
and truthful tribute to Edgar Allan Poe, the
great Southern writer. 1t made an admission,
saws the Lynchburg News, which we never saw
made before in any Northern journal, or by any
Northern critic-that Poe possessed more real
genius than any other writer that this country
has produced We are glad to see that the
truth is beginning to be acknowledged in the
North, and that they are commencing to admit
that something good, in literary way, can
come out of our Southern Nazareth. Hitherto
it has been sufficient for any thing literary to
have Southern origin to damn it forever in
the ewes of the Northern people and Northern
critics. This has been the case, not only with
regard to works of fiction and light literature
generally, but has been extended to every de-
partment of literary effort. Southern authors
have been laughed at, and sneered at, and rid
iculed by would-be critics in the North, who
were not worthy to so much as touch the hem
of their garments, from whose heads they so
vainly attempted to snatch the crown of their
Justly deserved fame And the Southern peo-
ple have themselves to blame in great meas
ure for all this. They have not encouraged
and cherished their own literature as they
should have done, but have suffered it to pine
away neglected and uncared for, or have al

ours of the lowest degree from Northern ken
nels. ~,
We have gone North for everything, We
have obtained there not Oil the material lux
uries of life, but it became so much the fashion
to look to the North for everything, that we
actually sent there for our literary ideas. All
our school books were from the North and
written by Northern authors; all the works on
art and science that we read came through
Northern hands, even if not written by North
ern pens; in short, most Of the reading that
we did, came from the same source. Perhaps,
under these circumstances, it is not so much to
be wondered at that the North should not
credit or admit the existence of literary talent
in the South it concerned both its pride and
its interest that it should not do so. OF late
years we have been becoming more indepen-
dent, in every way, of the North, and as we
have developed enterprise in our material con,
Germs, we have at the same time walked up and
called forth our dormant and latent literary
talent and put them to work for the benefit OF
our section. We believe that the South in the
future will produce as gifted authors as she
has great orators, and soldiers, and statesmen
in the past. But to do this she must encour-
ape Southern literary enterprise and effort, for
it is as true in letters as in anything else in
life, that "men will praise thee when thou
doest well to thyself."

A QUEER PRocEEDING.-A Paris cores
pondent of the London Times relates very
curious case which occurred recently in one of
the tribunals of the Seine. M. Guizot, the ven-
cradle historian and statesman, now in his
eighty ty-seventh year, brought suit against the
Empress Eugene, as guardian of the minor
son of fNapoleon III, ignoring the law fixing
the majority of the prince at eighteen, which
age he has reached, not to collect debt from
her, but to force her to take q sum of money,
$4,000 francs which he alleged had been pre-
sented to his son by the late Emperor. The
old man having old fashioned notions about
the property of an official, as his son was, re-
ceiving pecuniary gifts from the government,
rendered repayment of the sum with interest
to date, which sum had not been accepted.
1t had been deposited at the Depot of Consig-
nation subject to the check of the Empress or
of the heir of Napoleon III. and Guizot now
begged the tribunal TO make this offer valid
Outside of France we suppose it was never
heard of that any one was sued to compel
acceptance of the payment of debt. If all
those in the United States who have receiv-
ed money improperly from the General and
State governments, or their next of kin, were
to tender repayment, there would be no neces-
sity of enforcing their offer with suit. Such
proceeding is entirely Frenchy; it certainly
is not American.

John Danlop. Esq Dear Sir,-In the Dis
patch Of the 14th instant / notice state.
ment over the signature Of Mr.. j. A. H. Sc.
Andrew, which Is incorrect in its charges,
and does great injustice to the physicians OF
Richmond in general, and 10 me especially.
Nine weeks ago McDowd applied to me as
superintendent of the Church Institute to
admit an English lady. He was informed
OF the charges here, and also tbat the fee $50
per ,oeek) was payable IN advance. AS he
did not make any offer 10 settle the bill, IL
was presented 10 him at the expiration of
two weeks, when be, for the arst SINE, in
formed me that the British Association would
be responsible for the lady's board, medi.
cines, and medical attention, and that
he would present the bill at their
next meeting. Since then neither he,
whom, hold responsible for the
full fee of SO per week, nor the British AS
soeiation have ever paid one cent. Tne
charge was less than il really costs to take
care of said English lady. as for greater part
of the time she was the only occupant OF
the white female ward, forcing me to keep a
special nurse and fire for ber sole use, besides
furnishing her with board aud medicines.
If want Of charity aud Of kind treatment
have been complained OF BY this lady, her
OWN statements repeatedly, made while an
inmate of the house would clear every ma.
tive Virginian, however her statement mighi

While fully agree with Mr. St. Andrew
In the call that the lady referred to by him
has on our sympathy and pecuniary assist
ance, am thankful to him for bringing Tito
the notice of the public that the British AS.
sociation has not yet been organized to grant
relief to British settlers. That Association,
not having yet been incorporated, exists
only in name. It is our intention TO procure
a charter OF the Legislature Of Virginia at
the present session; but our ability even then
to aid settlers who may have been reduced
to want by indiscretion of themselves, or the
unprincipIed conduct OF Others, will depend
entirely on the contributions to the treasu.
ry of the Association. Is Is the wish OF the
Association to aid their countrymen in every
way they can, but they recognize no legal
responsibility, and their ability to aid will
depend entirely on the subscriptions Of mem.
