The States of Of Alabama. Arkansas

After travelling over the North
East and West, and viewing that
once great and still lovely land, and
seeing the beauty and wealth there,
one would wonder why, all at once.
SD great a financial change lad ta-
ken place. Real estate has declined
one>balf. Insurance companies and
banks are failing. Heavy business
houses have gone into bankruptcy,
stocks aud bonds have declined,
and in almost every city distrust is
depicted upon the brows of business
men. General bankruptcy will be
the general result. As manulacto>
ries loom up in the South, Eastern
capitalists must succumb, and thou
sands be compelled to beg or starve.
The dark and somber clouds can be
seen in the distance tue loud, nuts
teiiHg thunder is beginning to roar,
the livid lightnings to flash and the
heavy pail of gloom is about to set
tie down upon them forever.
But the magnanimOus South
stretches out her hand and points
to her sunny South land and invites
to her salubrious climcs and fertile
soil men and women, old and young
come to our broad, extensive
plains, come to. our genial cline
and live beneath our bright skies
and vine clad bowers.
To-day, December 23d, we write
with our coat off, no fire in our
study aud the bright southern sun
shining through vipe-elad window.
Emigration, in many instances,
both from Europe and the North, is
the only certain remedy against
starvation. Notwithstanding the
ravages during the war,
and the piundeiing and stealing of
the carpet baggers since the war,
we vet have hog and bOminy, and |

cities are growing in size and pros-
pcrity, and some like magic. Large
of elegance and beauty

and hammer had not been heard. |

a hundred steps of the house his
wife vas taken i'll. Leaving the
two youngest children in dry
goods box on the band sleigh, he
helped her and two older children
into the house, where, in order tt
prevent their freezing, they were all
put to bed. He then returned for
the two children, and was frozen to
death before he reached them. The
wife lay in bed until the next day
without fire or food. The father lay
dead near the cOrpses of his two

children in bed with their mother
were frozen nearly to death, it is
believed that they will recover.

and grass are seen throughout the
South, millions of cattle are on the
praIr:es and golden fruits in the or

generally known, emigration will
