S O UTHEllN ECON OH Y.
We copy an article on thissubject from
the New York Tribune, more as an en
couragement for our people than for any
other cause. It contains nothing now, iu
its suggestions as to whit the South
needs, for we have all been long cob vine
ed that wo want just what the Tribune
and the correspondent whom it quotes
have discovered to be our true policy. Iu
a word, we need an improved plantation
economy which will produce less cotton
and more grain, and a great addition to
our manufacturing industry—particularly
the cotton manufacture. Tho encourage
tnent to us lies in the fact that intelligent
and influential Northern ruen perceive the
great opening which there is at the South
for manufacturing enterprises and the
greater profits which Northern tnnnufac
turers could reap by coming to the South
with their spindles, looms, print works,
foundries, work shops, &a.
Mr. Edward King, to whom the Tri
bune reteiB’editoiUUy, writes to that pa
per :
“If Northern, erect Western, or English establis cap¬
ital would manufacturing

not only would the stockholders get 18 or

tion of iiffairs us now prevails in the vicin¬
ity of Montgomery would be lienrd of DO

It is not merely cottou millstlmtare waut
cd, but machinery to make tho hundred

Rils, and articles of furniture, which now
are brought hundreds of miles and sold
at exorbitant prices. Labor can be-had

the North, and on many classes of manu¬
factured goods, capitalists, by’ placing
their establishments at central points in
tho cotton belt, could make more money
than by manufacturing in the North and

What is here s*id of Montgomery aud
of Alabama can with equal truth be snid
of other Southern cities and States.
Everywhere throughout our Southern
couutry there aro thousands of people—
white and black, adults and children,
male and female—who would rejoice at
an opportunity to work in a cotton facto¬
ry. Many of them are incapacitated ftir
any other work that is not over-orowded.
A more extensive sy-tem of manufactur¬
ing would not only diversify our industry
and thus divert labor from (lie planting
of cotton, but it would add very largely
to the productive force of tho South, and
of course to its wealth. One grfa{ diffi¬
culty in the way of our recuperation, after
the war had swept away all our wealth aud
dermgednll our laoor. was the lack of
industries thut could afford work for all
classes among us that needed occupation.
Had the needy women and children, white
as well as black, found such work for
their hands to do, six or eight years ago,
very different would huvo been the con¬
dition of our unfortunate section to-day.
The financial embarrassments of the
principal cotton factory in Alabama ought
not to cause the least apprehension ns to
the safety aud^piotit qj the lousiness. Iu
a time like ibis, the only wonder is that
more cottdu factories have not Become
embarrassed or suspended. The fact that
man/ moro have failed at the North than
at the South—that more have suspended
there than here—is sufficient, to show that
the business is a safer oiie hero. The
Northern manufactories, too, had much
larger reserve funds to sustaiu them thau
our Southern factories had. Our factories
had made no provision for such a panio
and stagnation of business as has ocou:
red, aud yet nearly all of them are now
working full force aud time. Tho man¬
ner in which they have stood this storm
is a very strong proof of tho vitality and
stability of the business among us, and
ought to convince Northern aud foreign
manufacturers of tho inviting nature of
the great field that lies open before them.
SOME NEW LAWS OF ALABAMA.
The act “to provide for the support of
the common schools for the current year”
appropriates- $170,688 85, being the
amount of interest accruing ou the 16th
sections fund, and forbids the Auditor to
draw any warrant in excess of ibis uinount,
except “warrants that may be necessary
to carry out the provisions of an aot enti¬
tled an act to keep in each county of the
State a proportionate share of the public
school money, approved April 19, 1873.’
The act “to provide for the payment of
County Superintendents of Education”
allows.them $3 per day while actually en¬
gaged iu visiting schools, and 4 per ceut
Uin of the amount a lowed on each quar¬
terly "requisition; but no Superintendent
is to receive more than $100 a year for
service in visiting schools, nor less than
$300 for his entire services.
The act regulating property exempt
from sale for the payment of debts, pro
hibits such a construchon of the Exemp
tion law as w ould prevent a laborer s or
msehanic’s lieu for work done, or permit
its extension to any dee ior mortgage
lawfully obtained.
The aet “to secure a more thorough as¬
sessment of the real property of the
Slate" provides that the County Commis.
sioners shall provide a plat of the county:
that the tax assessor thaii make such lists
as wiil show "what lands belong to the
United States and are exempt from taxa
tion’ tioD, and what lands are subject to taxa
that the Commissioners, at their
August term, shall examine to see wheth
er all the lands in the county are returned
in the taxable and exempt lists, and that
no liable to taxation are returned
ns exempt, aud if auy error or omission
is discovered, the assessor is to make &11
needful corrections.

Young People.
:
Suspension, Dec. 27th, 1873.
Ens. 8uv:—Tn response to cordial in
vitations from several kind friends of
Enon, we put iu an appearance on Tues
day- last to wilness the annual enterlain
meut of the pupils of Enon Academy,
which the late Kev. Dr. Cotton very ap
propriately named the “Gem of the
Woods,” owing, we presume, to its rural
surroundings apd to the fact, not yet suffi
ciently known abroad, that its beautiful j
maidens and its manly boys are gems of
which any teacher and any community
should be justly proud,
We spent Monday night and a part of
Tuesday at Guerryton, where we were the
gnest of C.ol. Ed. Eubanks and Mr. John
Coleman, than whom there are no more
hospitable and pleasant gentlemen to be
found iu this section. Although it is sad
to acknowledge that they could offer us
but the comforts of a bachelor’s home, it
1S gratifying to be able to confess that the
only thing lacking to make their cottage
“ a |i right,” is the preseuce of a wife for
one or both of IheHe most excellent
friends. Through their efforts, supple¬
menting the earlier exertions of Messrs.
Wolfson & Moses, the once deserted
Guerryton has become noted as a place
of great, sociability. Despite the hard
times, which have reached that point,
there are new improvements to be seen on
every hand. A fine two-story storehouse
is nearly completed, which adds largely
to the business appearance of tho little
town. Four flourishing stores are still
in operation, with prospects of a fifth be¬
ing opened.
We found Enon a very quiet but attrac¬
tive town, where are to be seen many
evidences of the wealth and culture that
characterized it in ante helium days. To
the “dead beat" Bohemian, who finds hiH
chief pleasure in bar-rooms, billiard
saloons and the society of whisky-drinkers,
this place offers no inducements for a
visit, and his pen would hardly be expect¬
ed to say a good word about either the
town or its worthy inhabitants. Intem¬
perance has no .foothold there, nor do its
accompanying vices flourish iu that vicini¬
ty. By special enactments of the Legis¬
lature, no liquor can be sold within the
corporate limits, hence the town has no
use for a guard house, Marshal or Magis¬
trate, .so tar as disorderly conduct is con¬
cerned. Occasionally, as was the case on
Tuesday and Wednesday nights, visitors
from abroad so far forget tho courtesy
due, in this respect, thut they came pre¬
pared with ft bottle of mean whisky and
worse manners, and endeavored to attract
attention to their good clothes by a dis¬
play of very bad conduct.
However much the war may have in¬
jured the town financially, and as a busi¬
ness centre, it. failed to destroy tho old
time hospitality and cordiality of the
people, who aro still noted for their piety,
good morals, social qualities and genial
hospitality. From homes where these
virtues are daily cultivated aud practiced,
aud iu which they flourish even in these
times of general demoralization, the
Enon Academy, or “Gem of the Woods,”
draws its pupils. And when they enter
tho schoolroom it is only to find tbero
these same virtues concentrated in one
of the most nliable and faithful teachers
that we have ever known. Fully realizing
that cheerfulness lightens every burden
of life, the principal, Rev. D. M. Banks,
spares no efforts to infuse this element
into tho hearts and the daily conduct nud
intercourse of his scholars, but very few
of whom fail to grow better and nobler
in head and heart through his happy
manner of instructing the one aud dis¬
ciplining the other. It is hard to resist
the warm impulses of a truly Christian
teacher, especially when sincerity is
stamped upon all his efforts for good.
We have said this much, by way of in¬
troduction, as there may be some of
your readers who will bo shockedto know
that one of Sheakspear’s plays, ltomeoand
Juliet, was included iu the programme of
the entertainments. Such strait-laced
people would hang a pall over the sun,
and make it a criminal offence for a boy
or girl to enjoy a hearty laugh, as they
can see but little utility in sunshine or
joy. But the principal of the “Gem of
the Woods” knows just how to make every
body happy in due season—theoldand the
young aud tho middle-aged, the grave the
gay and the sober minded, and yet not
pass beyond tho bounds of propriety.
The entertainments of Tuesday aud
Wednesday night were arrauged to this
end, and we doubt not every variety of
desire was gratified, through the diversi¬
fied character of the programmes, aud all
went home pleased and instructed by
what had been seen and heard. If any
failed to be satisfied with tho performan¬
ces, we candidly think the fault was their
own.
The entertainment of Tuesday night
was quite varied in its character, and in¬
cluded pupils of every age aud both sexes.
Vocal and instrumental music was pro¬
fusely scattered through the programme,
and added not a little to the enjoyment
of the occasion. The platform was very
handsomely arrauged as a stage, with
scenery wings and other “fixings,” aud
presented an elegant appearance. Above
tie drop curtain (which seemed to repre
sent the passenger train ou the Mobile aud
Girard Iiailroad in the act of crossing the
bridge over the Chattahoochee at Colmn.)
I bus was the motto of the hour, “Dullcare
Avaunt." The tableaus charades auddia
l igues were well presented, and while
some were sad, others were joyous, sen
j timental sight and or “Paradise mirth provoking. and the Peri “Love at
were
the prominent features of the occasion.
j with the oluer pupils, but the younger
I ones wound up the entertainment in grand
style with “Mother Goose,” aud late as
was the hour—many having sat in their
seats for nearly six hours—this humorous
and well rendered performance sent every
! body home in the best of humor, and Con¬
siderably rested from their long sitting.
The masters and misses who acted the
various characers. with so much life and
| truthfulness to nature, deserve the best
thanks of all who enjoyed the rare fun
: which they created.
Ou Wednesday night, in addftton to
another selection of fine vocal and instm
mental music, under the direction of Mrs.
M. J. Caldwell, the accomplished masm
teacher of the school, were presented
Shakespfeare s well-known tragedy of
“Romeo and Juliet,” and the humorous
ffcrc8 of a “Sea of Trouble*.” The latter
was well rendered, and, like “Mother j
Goose” on the previous night, sent the
audience away in the best of spirits. The
gem of the entertainments, however, was
the rendering, in appropriate costume, of
the beautiful duett—“The Swiss Girl”—
by Mr. J. J. Banks and Miss Sallie K.
Tarver, which was vociferously applaud¬
ed until a repetition was secured. We
had feared that the attempt to master a
tragedy like “Borneo and Juliet” would
prove a failure, with the limited facilities
at hand, but our fears were groundless.
We have several times seen the play pre¬
sented in a more faulty manner by a pro
fessional troupe, and on a well-arranged
stage. The greatest defect in this presen¬
tation, so far as we could judge, was the
absence of suitable costumes, all the par¬
ties, except Friar Lawrence and Juliet,
appearing in their usual dress. Miss
Sallie H. Banks, danghter of Dr. N. P.
Banks, rendered Juliet iB a most excellent
manner, and in the balcony scene she was
unusually attractive, having the advant¬
ages of a superb wardrobe, a fine form
and a sweet face. Mr. G. T. Coleman, as
Friar Lawrence, displayed a perfection
that was quite remarkable, and we feel
impelled to congratulate him on his un¬
expected success. Miss Rosa Tarver, as
the Nurse, was also very successful in the
conception of her character. Mr. J. B.
Tarver, as Romeo, won merited praise for
his earnest efforts to master a very diffi¬
cult character. The minor personages
were all creditably represented, and the
tragedy reached the final scene amid the
applause of a delighted and appreciating
audience. Although the sons and daugh¬
ters of Enon have frequently won merited
honors at several of Georgia’s most prom
uent male aud female colleges, the enter¬
tainments of Tuesday and Wednesday
nights Herved toimpressus more favorably
in regard to the intellectual and musical
culture of that community. She may
be a dead town in many respects, but
Enon is thoroughly alive to the impor¬
tance of education, in all its branches, and
also alive to the cultivation of good mor¬
als, temperate habits, a cheerful piety aud
a patient industry. Would that some
of the so-called live towns could boast of
a like record, which is more priceless than
mere commercial success.
The festivities of the week have to-day
closed with a most delightful social re¬
union at “Woodlawn,” on Chnnnenuggee
Ridge, where Madame Fontaine and her
charming granddaughters Misses Mc¬
Queen, dispensed the old-timo hospitality
of this once favored section. We have
seldom seen a happier or more attractive
gathering of “fair women and brave meu”
than the one at this old family mansion,
on yesterday and to-day, where the hours
were hurried away on the swift wings of
musio, mirth aud lover’s sighs aud tender
words. Enon, Midway, Union Springs,
Eufaula, Hurtville, were represented, and
although the Romeo and Juliet of Wed¬
nesday night were present, we fear
other parties, in a less tragic way, essayed
to assume those characters, especially in
the moonlight balcony scene. By old and
young, grave and gay, and rich and poor,
this past week will long be remembered
as one of rare enjoyment; and al! will join
in a grateful tribute to the Rev. D. M.
Banks, whose kind heart and patient la¬
bors produced such a season of enjoy¬
ment. To him aud Dr. C. II. Jernigan,
as well as to Ool. J. T. Crawford, whose
pleasant home was our abode during our
atay iu Euou, we return our sincere
thanks for many kind favors.

The Atlanta Herald learns from School
Commissioner Orr, that of the $250,000
apportioned to the counties for school
purposes, $174,000 has been paid out.
Some of the counties have, with their por¬
tions, run schools three mouths. The
Commissioner favors local taxation as a
means of supplementing the State school
fund so as to make it efficient—that is,
for the several counties to decide whether
they will impose such taxes, and to what
amount. He will recommend this to the
Legislature.

THE VIRGINIUS TORE LIBELLED
>
Washington, Dec. 29.-It „ , has , been as- j
certained from an official source that on
the arrival of the Virginius at New York,
she will be seized by the Collector of the ,
port, and libelled by the district attorney,
in accordance with instructions already
forwarded to those officers. If on judicial
investigation it be shown the vessel bad a |
register obtained by fraud, she will tie :
sold and the proceeds of sale paid to the j
United States. Spain can make no claim :
to tho vessel, but if she should, it is posi
tively certain our Government would not
entertain such a claim. The report that
the Spanish Government requires of us
the restitution of the Virginius and the
payment of indemnity is not believed in 1
official quarters.
THE VIRGINIUS SURVIVORS.
New York, Dec. 2D. —Many visited the
Brooklyn Navy Yard to visit the Virginius
survivors. No admittance. Admiral
Roan having issued strict orders that no
one, whatever, except authorized U. M.
officers, should be allowed either to board
or leave the vessel, Unusual strictness
was also observed in the requirement of
passes to visit the Yard, as no one was
permitted to approach the docks without
a pass from Capt. Chandler.
U. S District Attorney Bliss, Assistant
District Attorney Simons, and U. S. Com¬
missioner Davenport, accompanied by of¬
ficials, boarded the Juniata shortly after
11 o’clock this morning to continue their
examination of passengers and crew of the
Virginius.
Twelve of the Virginius’passengers were
so prostrated by disease, the result of ill
usage, to require immediate removal to
the Marine Hospital.
THE INVESTIGATION.
New Yokk, Dec. 30.—The Tribune
says, when the Juniata arrived to day,
District Attorney Bliss and three assist¬
ants, Commissioner Davenport, with a
number of stenographers, and an inter¬
preter, boarded her and began an official
examination of the Virginius prisoners.
The proceedings are kept secret.
The Herald correspondent on the Ju¬
niata says the Virginius prisoners, at San¬
tiago, were compelled to testify at the
point of tho sword, and threatened with
instant death if they refused to answer
questions of the court—in some cases sol¬
diers pointing bayonets at their breasts.
THE OWNER OF THE VIRGINIUS.
New York, Dec. 29.—John F. Patter¬
son of this city has sent a letter to Secre
tary Fish, dated the 26th, declaring that
he is the registered owner of the steamer
Virginius. He protests against the opin¬
ion of the Attorney General, by which he
is condemued, unheard, ouen parte testi¬
mony. He states that the Solicitor of the
Treasury gave him a bill of sale of the
steamer thereupon. He (Patterson) truly
swore thathe was the owner, aud the Gov¬
ernment gave him an American register aud
testimony charging perjurr on his part is
false. He has hitherto kept silent by
advice of counsel and because he has not
been called upon by the Government to
testify or defend himself in relation to
the matter. He requests that a copy of
the evidence upon which the Virginius
was condemned by the Attorney General
be sent him, and that ho be notified of
the time and place for examination of
any other witnesses. A copy of the titles
has also been sent to the Attorney Gen¬
eral.
THE STRIKING ENGINEERS
