many, portions of the West among peo-
pie OF small or moderate means to pur-
chase small farms of the chenp lands
everywhere for sule in the South, and
make their homes in its mild climate
ahd fertile soil. Some of them, having
hardihood as we'll as enterprise, have al.
ready done SO, but many, it appears, IRE
deferred by the slnnlcrons stories of out
rnge and Mwlessness which have flooded
the North and West on the eve of every
important election since the war. It il
unfortunate for the South, ns well us for
those thrifty farmers nnd mechanics,
that movement by which the condition
OF both would be so much benefited is
thus paralyZed. No better proof could
be given uf the extent to which, in the
opinion of the Radical leaders, popular
creduilty In the North cnn be played on
thnn the concert OF action among the ex-
IRENE Radical press, referred to by a
washington correspondent in late let
ter to the Baltimore iSun, to stir up the
North with the senseless CRY that Jetfer-
son D,Sis is the choice of the South for
the next Presidency, and that his name
Will be brought before the Democratic
Convention. And this in the face of the
repeated disclaimer through influential
organs OF Southern public opinion Of
the privilege OF having Southern man
nominated even for the Vice-Presidencv,
and the fact TINT MIR. Davis disabilities
have not been removed, though of course
they should he. If people can be found
In the North willing to credit such fic-
tlon, they can believe anything. The
only wonder is that, with such gull
billty M this to work on, the Outrage
manufacturers are not more extrayapant
in their inventions than they have been.
Their SANDERS and misreprescntations
hayo sutticed, however, to make many
people ut the North think they would
risk their fortunes and their lives if they
should settle in the Southern States.
Says one correspondent of an Alabama
paper, writing from Illinois-and this
one is fair sample of all-"There is
one great drawback about people going
South, and that is, they henr through
the papers some hard tales about troubles
between the whites of the South and the
negroes. If itwere not for TINT
there would be great rush South yeur
after year.
The agricultural and mineral resources
OF the South appear to be we'll under
stood among those desirous of emigrat-
ing thither, but no advantages of eli
mate. soil, mineral deposits, agricultural
products and geographical position are
considered sufficient to overbnlance the
npprehended perils to property and life
from the disorganized stute of society
which the party newspapers and politi-
clans report to exist. 1t is to be hoped,
however, that the testimony of such
men of Mr.. Kelley and Vicc-Tresident
Wilson will tend to disnbuse the minds;
of Northern agriculturists of their un-
founded prejudices. There are as little
crime and outrage in the South as in any
other States of the country, and the true
condition of things cannot be always
concealed from intelligent Northern
men: 1t will be q happy day for the
South when the place OF the carpet
baggers. who now feed upon her vitais,
shall be supplied by immigrant farmers
and productive laborers and mechanics.
The great need ut present is n denser
white population and q more diversified
industry.
Mrs. Christine Toens, the only lady
saved from the Schiller, having recoy cred
somewhat from the shock on ker nervous
system, relates to q lady correspondent
the following Incidents of the shipwrcck
She said among the passengers wns u

was everybody's pet on board, and would
be seen playing nll day long with his
mother or other Indies or gentlemen.

and thou shnlt be wealthy and without
cares forever. will give thee enough
for nll thy life. Thou need not be II
sailor then-only save me and my child.
A big wave swept over the deck and car
rled away the rich mother, her beautiful
child and the poor sailor. Another lady
on board had little girl about three
years old, who looked like an angel.
The mother, being mostly sen-sick, would
not allow anybody to take the child away
out OF her sight Many Indies offered to
plny with the child on deck, but the
mother always objected, on the ground
that the child might he hurt, or even fnll

idea would already mnkc her mad. When
the catastrophe came. the mother rushed

said: I'VE had great many handsome

everybody; and though childless myself,
it almost breaks my heart to think that
