Ms. s. HoRKHEMER, one of Wheehngs
staunch business men, who has Just returned
from q rest at Long Branch and from
business trip through several Of our princi-
pal manufacturing cities, reports that wher-
ever he has been the business outlook is bet
ter now than at any time for several years
past. Cotton and wooden and dry goods of
all kinds are in good demand and bring
ing good prices. The markets for such
goods are no longer burdened by oyerpro-
duction among the manufacturers, but the
manufacturers now are getting more orders
than they can 6ll and the orders are still on
tie increase Merchants are particularly
active in laying in their stock.
Other leading industries are also looking
Up. The volume of trade is increasing and
people seem to have thrown off the lethar2y
that has been holding them back, and are
beginning to work together to enhance
commerce and manufactures. Mr.. HOAX
HEINER saws that the business interests Of
cities ike Wheeling and Pittsburg, which
are so largely dependent upon the iron and
glass manufactures, do net yet so much FEEL
the reaction that has set in, owing to the
laet that so many of the IRON and glass
manufactures are still idle, but IS soon as
these works start up, the boom that is now
moving in other cities viii strike Wheeling,
and then sll will move on prosperously.
The reports of crops are very encOurag..
ing. With the exception Of wheat the hsr-
vests will be bountiful. The corn crop
promises to be the best Of any during the
several years past
The South especially mas been highly IA
vored. She never had such crops before in
rice, sugar. cotton, corn and such staples
as the world must have, and which bring
promptly the cash in return. The South
is liberal buyer Of our manufactured goods
Her people wal houses, they want nails
and glass, and their orders are freely flow
ing into the eastern markets All these
things will make the PEOPLE glad, make
the cost of living cheap, and greatly in
crease the demand for manufactured ssti.
e'es and contribats very largely to further
ing all business interests and making good
times. 1t is certainly pleasant to contem-
plate the outlook, from Mr.. Horkheimsr's
standpoint, since the boom promises to be
permanent

prevail, and al prssence Of the Observance
Of the law VIII b abAndonsdP
OF the political stAtu, Of tho South he
flies Of at tangent in this wise:
The soEd South Is held together in politi-
cal fellowship BY crimes, violence and fraud,
which, II continued, viii ss surely renew 81
the strifes Of the civil war 50 that the sun
rolls around in its course. The
Republican party is faced BY Solid South,
in which the negro is deprived, substantially,
Of al his political rights BY open violence or
By frauds as mean a. any that have been
committed by penitsntiary eonvicts, and
IS openly and boldly done as any highway
robbery.
There may have been some sections in
the South where the whites have stoutly re-
sisted being deprived Of all share in the
Government and being brought under the
control of an igno ant race, as the colored
people were At the close of the war. 1t was
but natural they should do this. But carpet
bag rule wrought far worse condition for
these blacks and for the States under such
control States were bsnkrup,ed, and
the blacks, instead of being en-.
lighted, were sought to be kept
true to Republican rule BY having their
fears plAyed upon. Every honest thinking
man knows that the South is trying to ele-
vats the colored man, and tbashis condition
is every day becoming better, and in time
he viii assume his share in the control Of
local State and National affairs. These
sentiments ofMr SHERMAN are fair samples
of the MACS of stuff he dished out to the
people in his speech. But bis sentiments
are not the sentiments of the mass ofhis
party. The American government is still
safe in the hands Of the people.

RIEL'S REBELLION.
Middleton Waiting for More Troops Before
Assaulting the Rebel Position.

WINNIPEG, Man.. May 12.-The telegraph line
tidincs of the fighting at Batouche have come
through All dispatches indicate that up to
last night, the contest was confined to an artih
lery FIRE upon the insurgents stronghold. The
casualty roll of the troops up to this morning in
cluded two men killed and fifteen wounded
Dispatches to military headquarters and to
Commissioner Wriggey here, are to the effect
that fighting is still going on to-day, and that
General Middleton is anxious for more troops.
Adyices tonight state that eight companies Of
volunteers, and the Infantry School corps have
: bec5 fdefed mp from New Brunswick, and
the Prince of Wales Rifles from Montreal
Another Ontario battalion is already on the way
This is taken to mean that the government has
more alarming news than has yet been made
public, as no one here can see any great necessity
for bringing UP more troops. 1t may be that the
government has once more got into an unneces-
sary panic At all events, General Middleton
evidently is not prepared to storm the half
breeds stronghold, and intends to starve them
out or await reinforcements How long either
Of these plans may last there is no means of
knowing, as the most contradictory stories are
afoat regarding the insurgents stores of am
muntlon and provisions. 1t is not known what
has become of the steamer Northcote, but some
think she has gone on to Prince Albert.
News from the front up to Monday morning is
to the effect that fighting had been going on up to
that time since Saturday morning and was com
mencing for the third day when the messengers
left zereba had been formed a quarter
of mile from the field. where the army stays
for the night Tents, however. are not pitched
and the men lie in trenches, every fifth man
standing sentry. All the buildings about
Batouche have been burned except the
church and school-house. General Mid
deton would not allow them to be
shelled, as the priests, nuns, women and
children quartered there. The enemy
takes advantage of the protection they afford
The government troops have profted by their
experience at Fish creek, and do notunnecessarily
expose themselves. The casualties at Batouche
so far have consequently been small com
pared with those on former occasions.
Up to Monday morning their loss had
been gunner Phillips, of battery A, and
sixteen wounded two of the latter accidental.
The steamer Northcote had got down the river
below Batouche, and an attempt was to be made
yesterday to communicate with her Nothing
has been heard from the front to day.
