60, not to say despairing, note
Which Gen. Thomas l.. Rosser
sounds in his communication to the
New York Herald of July ,. The
general is supposed to oe discussing
1.-The future of the South" but he
really devotes himself to a consider
alton Of its present as he sees it
with gloomy and bilious eye.
He finds the Southern States rap
idly lasping into desolation. .The
growth of the Northern States" he
says. sis like that of a full-flooded
river-,n its current float the material
and the nourishment for a growing
empire-while the South is in an
eddy. and bur little goes her way"
And then, speaking of the popula-
ton, he adds: ''The young white
boys, after struggling hard to ac-
qulre an education, either seek a
profession, in which they exc out
bare living, or if unwilling to drag "a
weary life along the slow trail IF
poverty, they go West or North.
where the hum of busy and progress
sive enterprise offers field in which
intelligence and energy are at a HI gh
premium, and where push is in
va-iably rewarded by success
While this emigration of young men
dePopulates the South, impover-
ishes the stamina of industry, and
induces decay and thriftlessness,
which breed despair in the South,
the North and West thus receive
most valuable recruits"
dismal jeremiad, and those who re-
member the Tom Rosser of the
early sixties, eager, fiery, beau-sa-
breur, will read it with wet ewes.
Surely something mus. have gone
sadly wrong with the stout old war
rior that he should see these awful
visions in his dreams. The South
degenerating, her lands growing
barren, her sons leaving her to rust
aud crumble, opportunity passing
with averted eyes? Not SO, brave
Tom. Wake up and see the morning
glow upon the hills! Why, the South
is growing as it never grew before
Agricultural? The cotton planters
have made more in the past two
years than in the ten before. The
sugar growers of Louisiana are
richer than they were in 1860.
Georgia, Florida, and Mississippi,
apart from the cotton crop, are
the North with early |
fruits and vegetables and making
more and more money every year.
No opening for the Southern youth, |
no reward for energy and skill, no
career for brains and thrift and |

capable and well-equipped man of

wealth, in all the machinery of
