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 meats at Montgouery, would set cotton nulls goiugjn the great town where now is not heatjil Rio whirr of a single wheel, not only would the stockholders get 18 or 21) per cent, dividends, but such a condi¬ tion of iiffairs us now prevails in the vicin¬ ity of Montgomery would be lienrd of DO longer. 'There would lie no need to semi to aud England’s over-crowded back alleys tenement houses (lie Sootoii to pro cure operatives. lu the cottou mills of Columbus, Ga., there are hundreds of tidy, bright-eyed American girls, natives of the Stale, who work with a will. What Tisk, for instance, would there be in the investing of Northern capital in manufac¬ turing establishments in Montgomery f It is not merely cottou millstlmtare waut cd, but machinery to make tho hundred farming implements, household uton Rils, and articles of furniture, which now are brought hundreds of miles and sold at exorbitant prices. Labor can be-had iu Alabama exceedingly cheaper than iu 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 sending everything hundreds of 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.

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. Sidney Heubeet. GEORGIA NEirS. 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. Mr. Frank H. DeAntignao, one of the young men so badly waunded in a Christ¬ mas affray in Augusta, died on Saturday morning. 'Che meeting held in Augusta on Satur¬ day evening, te take into consideration the calling of a State Constitutional Con¬ vention, was thinly attended, and evi¬ dently divided in sentiment. It appointed a committee to report to an adjourned meeting to be held on the first Tuesday iu January. The sad report of the drowning, last week, of a large party of negroes by the upsetting of their boat in the Savannah river below the city, appears to be con¬ firmed. Negroes living near the locality say that the report is true, and that the boat contained over thirty persons, only one of whom was saved. The bodies of two dead negroes have also been found iu the water near the place of the reported disaster Mrs. E. A.

NIGHT DISPATCHES. j 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 Cincinnati, Dec. 29.—The best engi¬ neers express regret at the strike, but don’t ask to be taken back. Firemon are returning to work. Officers hope to run the road to its full capacity by Wednes day. Tho watchman at Logansport ad¬ justed misplaced switch barely iu time to save the passenger train. The twenty five miles an hour officers say they will not compromise. Pittsburg, Dee. 29. —At a meeting of the engineers of Alleghany city it was re¬ solved to stand out.
