The Vicksburg (Miss. Herald Dem. says;
In the years of the past, when there was
slavery in the South, little or no effort was
put forward to secure the means Of advance
ment and progress. We contented ourselves
with buying slaves and using then. to the
best advantage to enable US to buy more
slaves. A person possessed of one or two
families of healthy negroes became rich by
the natural increase of his slaves if he man
aged to keep out Of debt and pay his taxes.
With the end of the war we entered upon a
new era. While we labored under many
disadvantages, it cannot be denied that we
were possessed of many advantages. Slavery
was good thing for those who were fortu-
nate enough to own slaves, but it cannot be
be denied that it was bad thing for the
State. Illinois and Mississippi entered the
Union at almost the same time, yet Illinois is
to-day ten times as wealthy and prosperous as
Mississippi. Why is this the case? 1t is the
result of the enervating influence of the in
stitution of slavery. This comparison could
be made between the Southern States and the
Northern States. Slavery was our Old Man
of the Sea. We are rid of him now, and the
future is in our hands, We will prosper as
We make efforts for prosperity. We cannot
prosper, though, if we sit down and hug the
delusive phantom of hope, and do nothing.

War and the Iron Trade.

The recent news from the East, which
seems to intimate further threatening com
plications across the water, has been thought
sufficient ground for inquiry as to the proba
BILE effect of another war upon our export
trade. Our export trade, in this section,
means manufactured iron. A talk with iron
men yesterday developed a good deal of doubt
in their minds on this point They all united
in the opinion that there would be an in
creased demand for firearms and cutlery, but
could not believe it would help the general
trade. The Secretary of the Iron and Steel
Association, said: England is abundantly
able to supply herself with cannon and rail-
road iron. She is almost vast iron and coal
mine herself. Besides, she has on hand a
large surplus of manufactured material, and
is well prepared with the implements of war
for some time to come AS for Russia, there
is still less chance of America being called on
to supply her with iron. Cannon and railroad
material she can be supplied with nearer
home and at lower prices by Belgium, Ger
many and France"
The experience of the American export
trade during the Franco-Prussian war the
iron men regard as the best criterian they can
go by in forming an opinion as TO the effect
of war on the trade now. The report of the
Chief of the Bureau of United States Statistics
for 1871-when the Franco Prussian war was
raging-shows the amount Of the exports of
muskets, and pistols and rifles that year to
have been $1S, ,463, ,916. In 1872, when the
war had closed, it was $1,037,1 or over
$12, 900, 900 less than the year before.

An HOnOred ANA Worthy Ola Lady.
The Holly Springs Reporter, of this
week, contains q notice which will inter
est the most Of our city readers:
Oar city has been favored the past
week by a visit from Mrs. Dr.. Taylor,
with her son, Captain N. G. Taylor, Of
Memphis. 1t was q genuine pleasure to
welcome this gentlewomsn, a lady OF
such superior qualities OF head and
heart, to her old home, after an ABSENCE
Of thirty years. DR.. Taylor was a ma.
tive of yorktown, Va born in 1890, aud
Mrs. Taylor wal a native OF North Caro-
lima. They moved to Holly Springs
some time in the early settlement OF the
place, and to Memphis in l947. Where
ever they have lived they have i~llnstra.
ted, in an eminent degree, the character
istics OF their respective States. Social,
chivalrous and charitable, none have
ever come within the sphere of their iu-
haence without a high appreciation Of
their virtuous qualities. Mrs. Taylor Is
now past eighty years old, remarkably
sprightly aud entertaining, and held in
dear esteem by her many friends. This
was manifest from the crowds who col.
lected to see her-in her own language,
she enjoyed q perfect ovation. She went
from here to Memphis, aud carries with
her the good will and kind wishes of
many friends.
