the South was agriculture, and the large
profits which il yielded, proved ample
enough to retain nearly All available
capital in its prosecution.
Yet king hidden beneath the gray
soils aud within the rocky breasts OF its

when the wisdom and industry OF man
should discover their true worth and call
them forth 10 utilize their valuable SUD
stance, 60 repay his eXertiOns with

press these facts upon. The minds OF capt
