accounts OF Southern affairs, Letters
giving a bad account of Southern civ.
Ilization have constantly appeared in
that paper. But such overwhelming
proof has been brought to the attention
Of the editor in one case that he
speaks plainly Of matters, and says
previous cases of bulldozing, etc.. are
false. lie says: There are many
Northern men settled in those noun
tains who have gone there since the
war. 1t is from them we have received
the most earnest protests against these
incorrect statements. They write that
the people are anxious to promote EN-.
igration and give hearty welcome to
Northern men if they have capital,
skilled labor or energy, and care not
what are their politics"
Half a million bales of cotton as an
increase over any other year, is a fact
specially gratifying to the South, but
of advantage to the whole country.
The sugar and tobacco crops, also,
which. In the main, are of Southern
production, are exceptionally large
this year. The South has capacity
almost unlimited for the growth of all
these things, and intelligent men are
rapidly taking advantage Of the fact.
There is o-day, despite political ne.
cessities OF the Radical party. which
are damaging the section greatly, a
larger and better emigration into the
South than ever before.
The Thomas celebration to. day is
the Washington event of the genera.
ton since the war. The city will be
crowded. Our own people will turn
out as they have never before done.

Army during the late war. -,
Association with leading politicians

one Louisiana woman to grief. Eliza

with the murder Of her husband. 1t
would be an interesting study to any

of the moral nature of this poor wo

that was the name Of Mrs. Pinkston's
