Tie South is making steady advance in man
ufacturipg enterprise. No suddensfusll is Wit
messed into new business engaa but
quietly, in city after city, over the extent OF
the Southern States movement is nlade to
set the spindle and the loom iii motion, thus
varying Dur employments and adding to the
sources Of our prosperity. ~
In the present condition of the. country, any
advance in demonstrating manufactures in the
slave States is favorable indication. 1t shows
disposition to acquire industrial independence,
and brings new agencies for hamonizing con-
ficting interests into action.


Mississippi hasmade several successful efforts
to establish manufactures. The most profitable
factory in the Union is in one of the Eastern
counties of that State. Itlnay be due to this
fact, that dispositions is gaining strength IN
that State to embark to greater extent in this
species of industry.


Many of the cotton planters have introduced
upon their plantations the new machine for
spinning the raw staple at the gin. This, per-
haps, adds to the, favor with which investment
in factories begins to be viewed.


At a meeting of the Warren Agricultural
Society, held in Yicksburg on the 3D. instant,
it was resolved to establish cotton factory in
that county, under the direction of the associa-
ton. The design is to manufacture coarse cot
ton fabrics and the members of the association
pledge themselves to each other to give the
enterprise their undivided support.


The enterprise is to be commenced on
scale and under management which will Sc
cure success. Negroes are to be turned to SER
vice in the various departments; and the whole
enterprise is to depend, at the commencement,
upon home market.


This is movement in the right dircction.-
The South can manufacture cheaper than any
other part of the world. With tile raw mate
rial growing in sight of the factory, with slave
labor that, under all circumstances and at all
times, is absolutely reliable; with provisions
of every description and Of the best quality,
and cheaper than in any other quarter, and
furnished without the cost of transportation
the manufactured fabrics can be produced 80
as to compete with any in the world. The
North, and Europe herself will ultimately find
that the South has advantages for manufactur-
ing purposes that even pauper white labor will
not countcrbalance, Success to the movement
to manufacture IN the. Sq1fk is destined
to form one of the .m3st ements in
our advancement ius -

" It's only little grave" they said,
Only Just child that's dead -

From the mound the spade had made that day
All, they did not know how deep shade
That little grave in our home had made.

One yard would have served for an ample pail
And one man in his arm could have borne away
The rosebud and its freight of clay.
But know that darling hopes were hid
Beneath that tiny cofin-lid.

With folded hands by that form of clay;

And | knew her lip, and cheek and brow,
Were almost as white as her baby's now.
I knew that some things were hid away,
The crimson frock, and wrappings gay
The little sock and the half-wOrn shoe,
The cap with its plumes and tassels blue
And an empty crib with its covers spread,
AS white as the face of the sinless dead
'Tis little grave, but, oh beware


For worldwide hopes are buried there,


And ye, perhaps, in coming years,


May see, like her, through binding tears,
How much of light, how much Of joy,

come in, Mr.. Editor, to second the motion
Of the correspondent Of the Journal, In this
mornings issue, as to the disposition Of the
Library now under the control Of the Dayton
Library Association. II understand the mos
tiOn rightly. it ia to merge said Library into
that Of the public schools, now under the cons
troll Of the City Board Of Education, upon such
terms and conditions as should be fair and hon
orable to all parties concerned. The effect Of
this consolidation, or merging, would be to
place the whole concern under the direction
reach Of every family in the city. That is a
consideration Of the greatest moment TO our
citizens, and for which every mau, woman aud
child would hold up both hands With enthuss
asm. The School Library is now. and the
united concern would then be, conducted by
the Board Of EduestiOn with care snd economy,
aud kept in manner that would accommodate
the members of the Library Association them
selves much better than they are now accom-.
mcdated by their necessarily imperfect ar"
rangements. Should the High School Building
where the School Library Is now kept-be
COhbiueicu buo uub VI bhe WY Aol thc Soh
venienoe Of the people. room could be fitted
up nearer the center Of the city, and kept open
at such times as would meet every reasonable
demand Of the reading public. Now, who can
object to this arrangement answer, no one
has right to object except the members Of the
Library Association; aud it seems to me that
they should not under the circumstances. They
will be even better accommodated than under
existing regulations, and the benevolent design
they had In view in establishing SO fne Ii
brsry will be fully conserved. All the interests
Of the needy and INDECENT, who are longing
for pure literature, which they cannot find
the means to purchase, will be fully and care

And Walter Gray did turn over new leaf
On the very next day he did two things, there
by astonishing two parties. He had new
gate made for the entrance to the garden, and
thereby astonished bis wife and he refused
TO toss mp for the ale, and thereby astonished
a crowd of expeetant thirsty ones. For a
month he pursued this course, aud by the ex-
piratiou of this time he could fully appreciate
the new blessings that were dawuing upon
him. He discovered That he could afford
everything which the comfort OF his family de-
manded and arriving at this result he had
only cut loose from things which he really
could not afford. =r.t
1t was a wonder to him how he could have
been so foolish. When, at the end of the
year he had paid his note and had ninety-two
dollars left, he felt at first as though there
must be some mistake !; but when his wife
went over the list of household expenditures
with him, and showed him that all they need
ed had been bought and paid for, he saw how
it was. He saw that for years he had beer
wasting bis substance and depriving hlmsel
and loved ones of the comforts they needed
not Intentionally, but through the strange
mistake that leads thousands in the same
course. But he did so no more.


Sometimes, even row, Walter Gray says
Can't afford it and says it very emphatically
too Rut it is not when his wife or chldrel
ask for comfort and joy, nor when the needy
poor ask for help and charity-for he can well
afford all that but it is when the wild spec
ulation, or the loose companion asks him tt
