Mr. Owens’ Report— We publish in
another column the able report of Hod. Geo.
S. Owens, chairman of the Senate Commit
tee oa Internal Improvements, in opposition
to the bill recently passed by the House of
Representatives to limit the rates of freights
and passage on the railroads of the State.
Thu argument of Mr. Owens is conclusive
against the proposed restriction, which, as
reported by telegraph, was defeated in the
Senate on Monday, the report of our Senator
no doubt contributing powerfully to that re
suit.

SOUTHERN INDUSTRY.
That the solution of the great financial
question which engages so much of the pub
lic attention depends mainly upon the soc-
ceetful production of cotton In the Southern
Stales, is a fact now generally recognized in
all parts of this country. Few financiers be
lieve that the national debt can be paid, or
thts nniional credit maintained, unless our
cotton fields are again reworked for a sup
ply of lhe staple which has been, and may
now bo again, our chief medium of excbaDg®
with foreign nations. Dur'mg the progress
of the late war, and for a few months after
its termination, it was suggested, indeed,
and poriitips by some sanguine and credu
lous persons believed, that the gold and sil
ver mines of the West would totally super
sede cotton as our foreign exchange. This
theory 1ms been abandoned as a vain expect
ation, nud our cotton fields are regarded once
more as our richest mines; that cotton is
specie and to it chiefly will the country be
indebted for the resumption of specie pay
ments. A few months since it was believed
that wo were on the eve of the greatest cot
ton famine that has ever occurred. This
impression was owiog in part to the political
uncertainties which succeeded the advent of
peace. Capi'al and enterprise hesitated to
undeitake iu planting ou a large scale while
the relations of the planting States to the
Union remain unsettled, an 1 also while the
condition of the Southern laboring class
remains a subject of political agitation.
Notwithstanding the still unsettled condi
tion of political affairs in the South, evidence
appears to be accumulating that a better
crop of cot ton is likely to be made the com
ing srasou. than has hitherto been expected;
the ertreme price for the great staple baviDg
Lad the effect, despite unfavorable circum
stances, to make the people of the South
generally enter upou its culture to make
what they can. As the one article which
promises quick remuneration and large re
turns, the supply of pressing wants with
every class depending almost entirely on
that alone, it is plain that our people are at
last waking up; that they are emerging rap
idly from that stunning lethnrgy which for
mom ha Alter the conflict ceased prevented
them from knowing what to take hold of
first, or what way to turn.
Reports from many quarters indicate largo
andaclire preparations among the planters,
which warrant the expectation that, with
favorable seasons, a large, if not a full crop
wi i be raised. It. is known, too, that in
many parts of the country cottou farms are
renting at higher rates than were ever before
known ; that all wbo can be coaxed into the
culture by every inducement, are being de
voted to it. These are encouraging facts and
cannot but tell strongly upon results.
I' is stated also by a northern paper well
ported in commercial matters, that better
expectations have been manifested bjJkose
who have sent out agents from the Nomi, as
accounts are scut back of what is doing.
Necessarily nervous in the outset, as they
were compelled to consider where some of
the heaviest establishments in the country
were to look for supplies of the fleecy staple,
au improved tone is being exhibited, and
tcey now talk with not n little confidence, of
a c rop the coming season almost if not quite
equal to that of 18C0. All this is unques
tionably ac encouraging sign of a better
fiusbc;3i future for the South, but it should
net lead us to the erroneous conclusion that
the crisis is entirely passed. There are yet
large sections of the cotton growing region
in which the adjustment of the labor ques
tion between the planters and the freedmen
lia3 not been consummated. Those who
have heretofore welided the hoe and held the
plow under compulsion have thus far resisted
the moit urgent appeals and the most liberal
inducements to resume their accustomed
occupa'ions. The matter of labor in those
localities has, in consequence, become a vital
and important one. The negroes being free
and under no compulsion, and indisposed to
work, the question arises, bow are the fields
to be cultivated, how are the crops, upon
which the national prosperity of the whole
country depends, to be raised ? Either some
system must be introduced by which the
negro will be induced to take up the “ shovel
and the boo," or some other plan must be
substituted therefor. Labor must be bad;
whether it shall be white or black is now the
question. If the negroes will not work the
planteis mast take prompt steps fur procur
ing other kinds of labor. The time for
trifling with our labor system has passed ;
that for stern, energetic and sensible action
h.is arrived.
If this important question could be settled
to the satisfaction of both races aDd the po
litical troubles of the country banished for
ever by an immediate and cordial reunion of
all the States, the nation might congratulate
itself that if its present financial difficulties
can be tided over for one more season, there
will be little to render even the most timid
uneasy after that-
Although entertaining the views we have
here expressed in regard to the improved
prospects for the culture of cotton, we do
not subscribe to the fallacious idea enter
tained in certain quarters that three or four
millions of bales may be confidently antici
pated as the crop of 18CC. Nor do we be
lieve that the realization of so extravagant a
prediction would advance the best interests
of tiie southern people. The peculiar con
dition in which they have been placed by the
ravages of war is suggestive of other coo-
si derations of equal importance, which have
been well presented by a cotemporary in the
subjoined article:
mercy of the market. They *
realize »* the erllmt d*y. md to--- .. . .
pressing influences of
crop made. On the otter bend, tftte provide
M ter W possible for their general «nU, they can
hold their cotton until mirtakee are oorrected and
price conform* to demand ana supply.
It i. not improbable that a million bale, would
bring., much, or nearly at much, money to the
planters as three times that number, and why, then,
should there be an over-weening anxiety to gweU the
nuznberuf bales ? If the operation* were controlled
hy one iutereet, of course, do inch anxiety would be
felt The trouble is, that while all hope for and ex
pect a small crop in the aggregate, each in particular
ly anxious for a large interest in that small crop. The
sound individual rule will be to consult the old plan
tation economy—maintain the old diversity of pro-
dacte and strike for individual Independence as far
as possible. Support the plantation with food-crop,
and reservo the cotton for profits and dividends.

are being held tbrongbout Tennessee to send
delegates to a convection of the people of

As showing tbe object and spirit of these

which was unanimously adopted by tbe
meeting held in Nashville on Saturday last >
Resetlved, That all citizens of Davidson county who,
without reserve or qualification, approve the efforts of
Andrew Johnson, President of the United States, for
the reconstruction of the Government of tho United
States, and who are sinoerely desirous for the re-os-
tabliahment and restoration of good order, quiet,

NLr.no Emigration Westward.—The Atlanta Intel
ligencer notices a steady and oon.tant emigration of
negro laborers through that city westward, and re
marks upon the importance of energy and activity in
Georgia to counteract the movement by furnishing
negroes with every inducement In the way of wages
and employment to remain where they are.
“For our part, until Georgia Upland* can compete
in productiveness with 'the Mississippi bottoms, we
shall be unable to see how Georgia planters can com
pete in labor wages with western planter*. The latter
can mid will overbid us, and we should not be sur
prised to see a heavy drainage of labor towards the
rich cotton lands of Mississippi, Louisiana and Ar
kansas. and that region finally concentrate the bulk of
the colored farm laboring population. Where a good
hand can produce from ten to thirteen bales of cotton
he should be able to command ample wages."
And yet with this prospect before us there
is at least one member of our State Legisla
ture who is short-sighted enough to desire to
exclude foreign labor and capital from com
ing amongst us. Such we understand to be
tbe object of tbe resolutions introduced in
I be Senate by Mr. Ezzard on Wednesday
:ist. An article giving our views on Mr.
Ezzard's Japanese policy, so ill-adapted to
our present circumstances, is unavoidably
crowded out of our present issue. It will
uppear in our next.

to success which depends solely upon the interests
of lny patrons. I have made arrangements with
manufacturers. In the principal towns and cities
North, as well as Importers, to have their produc

secured the services In New York, of a resident gen
tleman of long experience, by which I ain placed ou
a footing with the best jobbing houses there. Thus
placing my profits alone between the manufacturer
and importer’s prices, and the cost of my patron’s
goods. 1 think my profit Is much less than the Job

pose to keep any goods on band, I will at all times
lie prepared to Invest my patron’s money where it
can l>e done to the best advantage, In a he cheapest
and most desirable articles.
My arrangements extend from the purchase or

the assortment.
I receive for sale or shipment all country produce at

Washington, Feb. 19.—The Hotta* of Representa
tive* to-day, by a large majority, passed a series of
resolutions declaring that the rebellion having de
prived the people of the South of all civil government.
It becomes the duty of Congress to enable them to or
ganize State Governments; also, that the Preaideut is
fully justified in maintaining tbe suspension of the
writ of habeas corpus, and in keeping troops in the
Southern States for the protection of Union citizens
and freedmen.
lEKAlit.
The President to-ilay sent in his veto of the bill to
extend the powers of the Freedmen’* Bureau. Tits
President takes the ground that the biU as j—’ is
unconstitutional, and that the appointment of agents
iu every county where freedmen and refugees exist
would impose too much patronage in the hands of the
Exooutive, and enable him to use it for the attainment
of political ends if so disposed. Tho President in his
message expresses the earnest hope that a measure
Involving a queeUon eo important to the country will
not become a law. unless upon the deliberate consider
ation of the people it shall receive the sanction of an
enlightened public judgment.
