GROWING PROSPERITY OF THE
SOUTH EHN STATES.

Whatever differences Of opinion may
prevail respecting the future prospects
of the rest of the country, there can
be no doubt that the Southern States
are now in a more prosperous condition
than they have been at any period
since the commencement of the war.
The final withdrawal Of the Federal
authority, or rather Of the carpet bag
governments, and the restoration Of
the old principle of State control have
been attended by the happiest results.
In Arkansas and Louisiana, which
were longest deprived of the privilege
Of self-government, bankruptcy and
civil war seemed to be imminent only
a few months ago. But now, party
aDimOsity appears to have died out,
and from both States we have the most
encouraging reports. Everything is
serene and prosperOus-sO prosperous
indeed that a cotton crop Of five mil
lion bales Is now regarded as probable.

poses a new route. He directs atten-
ton TO the excellent harbor Of White.

Scotia, which, by a slight extension Of

GEN. BcYNToN, the Washington
correspondent of the Cincinnati Gazette,
has made an elaborate examination of
Gen. Sherman's claim to be the inven-
tor of the march to the sea. Sherman
states IN his Memoirs that he first con-
c9ived the idea of the movement on
Sept. q, 1864, and came to a positive
conclusion about it on Oct. 26, 1864.
Grant, however, telegraphed to Gen.
Thomas on Jan. 10, 1864, eight months
before Sherman's first date, informing
Thomas that at the earliest possible
moment IN the spring an effort should
be made to secure for the army of
the Cumberland the line from Chat
tanooga to Mobile, Atlanta and
Montgomery being the impor-
tlnt intermediate points. Again, on
Sept. 10, 1864, Grant writes to Sher-
man, q don't know but It vii be the
best move for Gen. Canby's troops to
act upon Savannah 10hile you more on
Augusta" To this suggestion, says
Boynton, Sherman replied that it
would risk his whole army to move as
proposed by Grant unless the latter
could capture the Savannah river up to
Augusta or the Chattahoochie up to
Columbus. Afterward, however, Sher-
man concluded that these conditions
were not necessary, and he got Grants
permission to 60 without them. But
his pretension to have been the origin
al discoveTer Of the plan of marching
to the Atlantic coast, seems to be eff
fectively overthrown by the dispatches
Boynton has cited

IT is stated in APpletons' Journal
that Herman, the perfume manufacture

flowers, 10000 pounds of violets, 5000
pounds Of tube roses, and a proportion

1t is estimated that twenty tons of vio-

PRESIDENT GRANT seems to think
that all the charges made against
Spencer, of Alabama, relating to the
latter's completely in Kinds frauds

false and slanderous. In fact, the

WILKES, BONNER AND GRANT.

Mr.. George Wilkes, the editor and
proprietor of the Spirit Of the Times,
was for a while after the election of
Gen. Grant to thepresidency his bosom
friend. But times have changed and
men have changed with them. Grant,
and Wilkes, and Bonner, are all ad-
mirers Of the horse. We Will not cav
that they are fast men, but they are
fast drivers. Grant and Wilkes, and
Grant and Bonner have frequently sat
behind the same trotters, and, as they
passed the flyers on the road, have
whispered to each other words Of con-
fdence and mutual admiration.
ButiWilkes and Bonner were not pol
ticians. They were unpretending but
successful newspaper men. They
neither sought nor desired political
preferment. They believed Grant to
be as purely patriotic in peace as he
seemed to be in war. When they found
out their mistake, they saw that he was
not only ambitious, but mercenary and
that there was no trace of patriotism
in his composition. Having ceased to
admire, they ceased to praise him. His
third term aspirations Disguised them,
and his third term letter brought forth
their bitterest invectives. Thus has
the bile Of the third termers been
stirred. Grants organ at Washington
abuses Wilkes like pick-pocket, calls
him names ike a fsh-woman, makes
mouths at him like a spoiled child.
Yet Wilkes still lives, Bonner still
fiOurishes-and Grant has gone under.
