A NEW ENTERPRISE.
A Paper Box Mandatory that VIII
Compete with All Others In the
Union.

That the sure foundation Of lasting
prosperity is home manufacture, is a
principle we have long urged upon our
people. Every new mill erected, every
new business started, every new manu-
facture inaugurated, is an additional i'm
pulse given to industry, and one more
stepping-stOne firmly laid to a city's
greatness. Find more work for idle but
willing hands, more employment for
skilled labor, and you place additional
impediments in the way of vice and
crime, by making honesty more easy in
the healthful encouragement given to
industry. For these reasons we have
always been proud to notice any enter
prise which indicated an advance in
the growing powers Of our city, having
faith in the capabilities of Memphis,
and believing that she is destined to
take as prominent place among the
manufacturing cities of the south as she
has already established for herself among
the commercial ones. We are led to
make these remarks by learning that
Price, Jones d Co., No. II Jefferson |
street, the well-knOwn printers and |
binders, have just received all the COM !
plete machinery necessary fer the manu- |
facture of paper boxes, which business
they intend making one of their special |
ties. Their machinery is of the best |
make and most approved patterns, with |
all the modern appliances to enable
them to turn out first quality work at |
eastern prices, and the freight of this
class of goods being high, from its bulky |
nature, it is evident that the saving they
will effect to the merchant will shortly
enable them to control the trade in paper |
boxes throughout the southwest, particu.
larly as there is not another
Of this kind in
the United States south of Lou
Isville, Kentucky. Our friends have
been assured of the support Of the most
prominent Memphis merchants in this
new enterprise, and as they are backed
by an abundance Of capital for their
needs, their success is certain. As the
manufacture of paper boxes gives en-
ployment to large numbers Of girls and
youths, we certainly wish God-speed to
an undertaking as praiseworthy, and
are convinced that the same care as to
correctness and good work,
which chsracterizes them as printers and
manufacturers, will t.lso
give them high rank in business
hitherto unknown in Memphis-that Of

SALISBURY.
4 Thriving TOWn-Streams for Health
and HanufactUFes-The Place
for Manufacturers.

From an Occasional Correspondent
SALISBURY, May 2S.-I have nothing
new to write about. This place is a viii
lage of some size; about sixty miles
from Memphis, on the Memphis and
Charleston railroad; the pOpula-
ton perhaps five hundred or
more, and composed Of en-
terprising and clever citizens. Sauls-
bury is bidding for the county site of
this BELL county, and her citizens long
for the mammoth jail and magnificent
courthouse, which will soon be built.
The resources OF Bell county are second
to none in the State, and with her gold
and coal mines is the richest county in
the southern states. Her people are
among the most refined and intellectual
In the State. The section that is now
embraced in this new county, is too well
and favorably known for any descrip-
ton from my rusty pen. Water Of
every kind-springs deeply impregnsted
with medicinal properties-is to be
found in any quantity and for every
purpose, besides large stream running
almost parallel with the county, whose
ripping, tossing, limpid waters is so
clear as TO appear blue. 1t has ever at
tracted the notice OF travellers. One Of
the fret pioneers gave it the name Of
Wolf river, and later settlers cali it the
North Wolf or North Fork. This stream
runs into the Wolf short distance west
Of Moscow, just below where the Men,
pills and Charleston railroad crosses
that river. These are the greatest streams

THE correspondence between General
Patterson aud General Cotton Greene
VIII not pass unnoticed to-day. Amid
so much that is gratifyingly patriotic,
their letters have peculisrities that will
challenge special attention. The soldier
ly directness and earnestness with which
they treat the theme Of the day will not
be lost upon the readers Of the APPEAL,
who will accept their words of compli-
ment and personal good will as a direct
result OF the work of last Mon
day. No man in Memphis did
more than General Greene to hasten the
day OF fraternity between the soldiers Of
the Federal and Confederate armies, and
certainly none contributed so much Of
Intelligent direction and energy to the
contamination OF the great result OF the
twenty-fourth. Tohis perseverance and
enthusiasm We owe the victory Of that
memorable OCCASION, and We sincerely
regret that lie cannot contribute by his
presence TO make the soldierly display OF
tomorrow equally successful. But he

At the report which we hope to be able
10 make Of au occasion that is the one
thing necessary to prove that we were
honest in rendering and accepting over
lures 10 and from the Federal soldiers.

We respectfully urge upon President

and however they may have been mis-
led by false theories Of government, or
deluded by the artful teachings OF cum
ming and ambitious leaders, We cannot
fail to recognize their valor, or the ten
acity and fidelity with which they ad-
hered to the cause in which they had
enlisted 50 long - the conflict contin-
ued. II our own great President could
declare IN the midst Of the strife that it
was prosecuted on our part with malice
toward none, but with charity for all,
how much more ready should we be TO.
bury the animOsities that belong to the
past, and concede 20 the men who
fought against US the qualities
illustrated by their courage and de-
votion to the cause espOused by them.
While we must differ from
those who sought TO dissolve the Union,
and look from q different standpoint
upon the history Of the struggle that
ensued, we may safely coBcede to them
the right to hold such opinions as they
ike In respect OF the past, and claim
from them only a careful and hearty
loyalty to the present and future. And
why should this not be so? Are we not
bound together by ties Of consanguinity
and community Of material in
terests? Whatever promotes dis
cord, or weakens our common govern
ment, threatens danger and disaster to
all alike, and whatever gives strength
and perpetuity to our free institutions
promises blessings to the people in every
part Of the country and to their pOsterity.
God speed the time when the men OF
the north and south shall vie with each
other in their efforts to rebuild the
waste places, to promote the general
welfare, and to advance by all proper |
means the greatness aud prosperity of
our common country"
