Saws the New York Press And the yicto-
ries of the future shall be those of peace, be-
gotten in the mine, the forest, the field, the
forge and the furnace. The South is richer
far in natural resources than men have yet
realized. She has wealth of sun and soil, OF
fruit aud forest and mineral, and it is only
necessary that her tremendous energies shall
be concentrated and directed to the develop
ment of her natural wealth to astonish the
civilized world. Capital will go with secur'
ity as precedent) wherever it shall find the
richest reward and that capital is satisfied
with the prospect in the South is made mani
fest by the recent removal Of manufacturing
plants from their old fields in the North to
newer and richer fields in the South. Popu,
lation and wealth will follow them, and it 10
no wild freak of fancy that foresees the time
when the relative strength of North and
South in men and money shall beAnaterially
changed when the furnace fires OF Alabama
and Georgia shall become the torches of in

You can say, - remarked Mr.. SOM

that the capital to build the road is

A DISTINGUISHED VISITOR.

Hon. W. L. Bancroft, General Superintendent
OF Railway Mail Service, in Fort Worth.
There registered at the hotel P1ckwick
yesterday "A fine looking robust gentle
men, probably fifty years of
age, whose distinguished appear
ance would have attracted attention in
any company. This gentleman was Hon.
w. 7. Bancroft, general superintendent
of railway mail service, whose headquar-
tiers are at Washington, d. C.
Being an old acquaintance of
Hon. Royal T. Twombly, de-
ceased, Mr.. Bancroft found Mr..
f. L. Twombly, the son of his old friend
Mr.. TwOmbly showed Mr.. Bancroft over
the city, who expressed him
self as greatly pleased with
what he saw. Later in
the day a number of citizens paid their
respects to Mr.. Bancroft at his hotel. To
a GAZETTE reporter Mr.. Bancroft
said he had Just visited
the postal division Headquarters
at New York, Chicago, Cincinnati, Bos-
ton and St Louis, and after his visit to
the Fort Worth headquarters would go
TO Atlanta and then to Washington.
From the first. said thegentleman he had
decided that Fort Worth was pre-emi-
nently the place for the headquarters Of
the Eleventh postal division and he
had so informed Senator Coke when that
gentleman called on him in regard to the
matter. Dallas had made a strenuous
effort and her friends had
said, ''but Dallas has public
building, - to which I replied [ hoped
Fort Worth would soon have one too.
The railroad facilities of Fort Worth de-
termined the question without trouble. -
Mr.. Bancroft paid a high COM
pliment to the efficiency of
superintendent Hunter, and said
the offices here were splendidIy
managed. Tie gentleman says he has
no doubt but Fort Worth will have Fed
eral building. If the bill does not pass
this session 1t win OF the next.
Mr.. Bancroft left at O'Clock last
night for Atlanta, having made a num-
Der of warm friends during his brief stay
in the city.
