The New York Herald on tho South.

The following is the full text Of the
New York Herald's editorial to which
allusion was made in q late New Or
leans paper:
Southern papers report q continuous
and rapid development of manufactu-
ring industries of various kinds and a
general revival of business. Diaie, an
intelligently conducted monthly Jour
nal, gives a summary of Southern en-
terprises which shows that Southern
men are o fully alive to the great
natural wealth and advantages of their
part Of the Union. Wejudge FROM its
report that Alabama is making more
rapid progress in manufactures than
any other Southern State. Birming-
ham, its iron and steel centre, had four
thousand people in 1880, and has now
over twenty-one thousand. Its taxa
BILE property was sever hundred and
forty seven thousand dollars in 1880,
and is now four and a half Millions
Besides its furnaces, it is to have large
Touring mills, and a plant for making
cotton gins on a large scale. In Mo-
bile they make now lumber, slaves,
barrels and wooden ware. The mills
are busy and the port is full of ships
loading lumber. Formerly they load
cd only cotton there.
There are, it seems, in the Southern
States one hundred and thirty-n;ne
cotton seed mills. In 1866 there was
not one. In Tennessee they have
struck oil and developed some natural
gas wells. At Gallatin they are man
ufacturing chairs; at Clifton, spokes
and barrels. At Columbia, in South
Carolina "Is the only factory in the
United States" says Dixie (Which pro-
daces genuine Vienna brentwood fur
niture." In Florida they have begun
to compete with Glasgow in the man.
ufacture marmalades and %jellies, and
they raise their own oranges, which is
an advantage, and they find it profta-
BILE to raise castor beans and make
them into oil.
Finally, Dinie reports : ut is no.
ted. that tue advance of one dollar and
fifty cents per ton in the price Of pig
iron has set all the furnaces of Ten
uessee and Alabama going on full
time. Indeed, some. Of the Southern
ironmasters are far behind their orders.
The difference between North and
South in cost of production is about
six dollars per ton in favor of the lat
ter" and Dirie adds this significant
item : ''Two furnaces will be removed
from Pittsburg, Pa, to Sylacauga,
Ala, where a site has been purchased
and a branch road eight miles long
will be built from there to Childcrs-
burg, Ala"
Plainly, the South is fully awake.

Chapter Along in the early part

of R. P. Morgan, came to Tallulab, to
look after the railroad material in this
ne%ighborhood. He was a nice look
ing yonng fellow, pleasant hammered,
and said he was Of South Carolina
stock.
Chapter H.~-Along in the late part
of January, a Young a by the nane
of r. P. Morgan took his departure
from Tallulah, owing the bridge gang
mess for board something over 50, the
bridge gang boss a trifing amount,
and the depot agent. MI. Barber, $40.
In a fit of abstraction he also took
with him a nice new valise Of Mr..
Sanders.
