LET THE SOUTH WATCII HER COM-
BIERCIAL INTERESTS.
The following article, clipped from the
New York Iribune, is indicative of the untir
ing determination of Northern capitalists to
appropriate the commerce of the whole
country, to the sustaining of the present
ascendency of their section. Now that
slavery is abolished, the manifest interest of
the Southern States is to encourage direct
trade with Europe, and, if let alone, our
cities will soon be in active competition for
the commerce and carrying trade of our more
fortunate rivals farther aortt.; Could any
thing be more disinterested than the extract
we give below ?
General Rosecrans lias written a letter in
favor of a Southern' trans-continental rail
road, to add another to the many railway
spokes now running from West to East across
the United States and having Aheir hub in
England. What the Sonth needs is not bet
ter communication with Eagland. Every one
of its rivers, except the Tennessee and Cum
berland, runs toward England, and tends to
carry its commerce abroad. The greater the
relative trade of the South with England
compared with its trade with the Northern
States, the weaker is the Union. The greater
its commerce with the Northern States, the stronger
the Union and the less the need of bayonets to
hold it together. If national aid is to lie'
called for to build Southern railroads, lei them
ran from North to South, so as to increase the
transportation of Southern cotton, tobacco
and molasses into the Northern States for
manufacture and consumption, increase the
transportation of men, machinery, capital
stock, goods and tools from the North into
the South, and thus weld" the two sections in
all their interests more firmly together, and
render the Union not a union of States with
diverse or conflicting interests, but a union
of populations and industries whose interests
are identical.
In Prussia, forty years ago, similar steps
were taken to unite iu interest all sections of
the German Confederation l»y so perfecting
the means of railroad communication be
tween all parts of German}’ os to facilitate
their internal and domestic commerce, at the
same time that by the Zollverein all the States
of the Confederation were surrounded by a
cordon of protective tariffs which amply sus-
sained their home manufactures and agricul
ture from injurious under-bidding by France
and England. The result is seen in the
growth of wealth, the spread of popular edu
cation, the growing comfort and individual
freedom of the North German people, and in
the advance of Prussia to the position of a
first-rate European power. Had Germany
converged her railroads toward London-in-
stead of toward Berlin, and given France and
England the free trade they coveted, her rail
roads, might have carried more produce fbr
the first five years, or might not, but Germany
would have continued the same weak, dis
tracted conglomeration of sectional and dis
cordant principalities it was then. The fu
ture center of American industry lies between
Pittsburg, Chicago, St.. Louis -and Memphis.
Let the means of communication between
all payts of the South and these points be
perfected, and let that section forget, as soon as
possible, that it ever relied on a foreign market
for the sale of its raw products.

Desperate Encounter Bbtweem a 'Weasel
and a Shake.—The following singular occur
rence, says the Bridgeport (Conn.) Standard,
is narrated by an eye-witness as having trans
pired some time last sqnaiger on t^e farm of
Mr. Wm. H. Bibbius, in Fairfield. The nar
rator was spreading bay in a field, when his
attention was attracted to a clnmp of tall
grass at some, little distance, from which a
weasel was constantly springing np into thei
air. Approaching cautiously nearer, he dis
covered the cause of this singular conduct.
On a little mound of hay a laTge copperhead
snake, at least three feet long, was coiled up,
and.with head erect, darting tongue, and ex
posed fangs, was watching the weasel, who
was making a series' of springs at the reptile,
evidently with the intention of seizing it by
the throat. The snake dodged and the wea
sel continued his attack till at length by a
sudden spring he caught the snake by the
throat, and a furious struggle ensued. The
weasel held on, and the snake wound himself
around the body of the animal, almost en
tirely covering it, and seemed about fo' crtish
it to death, when bis weaselship let go his
hold on the snake’s throat, and “popped," iu
true weasel style, out of the convoluted em
brace of his enemy, springing at least two
feet into the air. The spake then crawled
under the mound of hay, and in a tew
moments the weasel re-appeared and crawled
after him, and from the tossing of the hay a
desperate fight seemed to be going on be
neath it. It ceased in a short time, and the
weasel came out dragging the snake after
him, dead, with his throat bitten open. The
weasel dragged the spake into a neighboring
fence, and they both disappeared.

Gen. Iioward’g Freedmen**. Bureau.
Gen. ^Toward, who is “hriilffTng iip f as we
understand'it, upon forced l contributions
from the bonuties ,due, to. negro soldiers, a
uni vemity, which he has modestly called the
“Howard witKasplepdid resi
dence aud grounds for himself as superin
tendent, and . who now figures in Church quar
rels in the militant or fighting character, has
issued his habitual ukase in respect to the
continuance of ’said Freedmen’s Bureau.
’Some timq since we published articles from
the Philadelphia North AmericanimASi.Xonis
Democrat, both Radical, exposing that specu
lative character of the organization which
m^kea it so obnoxious : to jthe Southern peo
ple, whom it assumes to ' control in the Sae-
tions m the interest of ..its officials, and of
confederate carpet-baggeri Hereafter we
may republish the . articles in question,' "but
content ourselves at this time by copying a
remark ofthe great leader of the negroes in
Virginia, Hr. Hunnicutt .iln a. bite, speech at
Norfolk, Va., he.remarked:
“He hoped to God the Freedmen’s Bureau
would be abolished soon. If “Has accom
plished all its mercifjuLwork for whiffr
created, and has now aegeneratedlnto a po
litical curse—the most powerful engine of
political trickery that has been known ih the
world since God made Adam.”
Now, if Hunnicutt denounces the Freed
men’s Bureau, that, by its agents and teach
ers, permeates the South, as “a political curse
—the most powerful engine of political trickery
that has been known in the world since God made
Adam"—why should credit be attached to the
statements of such parties and their confreres
concerning alleged outrages and crimes of the
Southern people against Unionists and ne
groes ? Why should not the white people in
the Sonth refuse to associate with the person-
net of so great a “political curse?" Federal
officers report a perfect condition of peace
and repose in Virginia, which is kept out ofthe
Union, while in States afar'ofi; that have been
admitted into the Union,, wholesale murders are
alleged to have taken place by presses here,
like the Chronicle., while no particulars are
given, simply from the foot that none are
known, and no such crimes have taken
place/ : ’*3 - ■ *“ w®
Under the Constitution there is no authority
for the intervention of Federal troops in State
affairs, except upon the call of the Executive
of the State, and the present clamor for more
troops to continue military rule in these
States is undoubtedly founded on military
ambition to control the people by the - sword,
or that for the presence of troops and armies
to benefit markets and business, or for the
purpose of dragooning the people, negroes in-
ciaded/.ihto an iron rut in politics, i .. - ,
The ukase of General Howard; militant and ■
fighting Christian within the pale of the
Church, recites as a necessity to Freedmen’s
Bureatr purposes in each of the Southern
States, of “assistant commissioner nnd chief
superintendent of schools; one disbuising
officer for educational department and pay
ment of claims; two agents for payment of
bounties;' two assistant superintendents of
schools, and clerks.”
The above are to be .superior officials to a
great number of schools, which in themselves
call, for an army of teachers. Concerning
education, .the .New York Express well re
marks that the “Freedmen’s Bureau has been
a political machine Horn the start The
Southern States are mainly in the hands of
the Radicals. Negroes are entitled to no
more money than negroes at the-North.
Their labor is needed npon ten thousand cot
ton, sugar and rice plantations, and upon
ten hundred thousands of acres devoted to
corn and wheat. The United States Govern
ment is doubly prostituted when it legislates
parfiaily,' or legislates at all. for a class.—
States ean and: must, in time, provide for all
internal government—for police, for schools,
for suffrage, for all, indeed, for which the
Federal Constitution does not provide. This
Freedmen’s Bureau is an asylum for two
classes of miserable citizens—those icho make
public office a private hospital, and those who
make it a receiving net for public 'plunder, it
has done no real good—certainly, none at all
which has not been overbalanced by liarm.
It is expensive, against the genius of self
governing States, unconstitutional, and, Os a
precedent, every way dangerous. ”
Upon this general subject, the Alexandria
Gazette speaks as follows:
“Oat of their own mouths they are con
demned- ' The Washington Chronicle prints
a letter furnished by Mr. Forney, from a cor
respondent of his, who, he says, is an ad
vanced Radical, and 'believes in his politics
as he does in his religion.’ This . correspon
dent has resided in the South for nearly three
years, and 'has never concealed his senti
ments,’ and yet he affirms that 'he has never
been disturbed nor even menaced for utter
ing them in trains, steamboats, hotels and
streets, ’ He insists that the Southern people
should not he condemned for the outrages of
ruffians, and declares that by this rale no
community could escape—certainly not the
West, judged by the - recent excitements in
Kansas. Veiy .WelL' This is so. But' how
does it compare with what has been con
stantly published in the' Chronicle, relative to
the South; for the last three years. In addi
tion, this correspondent strongly-urges emi
gration (o the Sonth—just what the Southern
press has been urging ever since the war.”

and used some abusiv&langnage towards the

but before he could inflict - any damage npon
his antagonist, the latter drew a revolver and
fired three times-in rapid succession. Two
of the shots took effect, one in Col. Withers’
groin and the other in his arm. The former
wound bled inwardly and terminated fatally
in abont five minutes. As Mr. Doxey was
firing the third and last- shot, the dying man
exclaimed, “Don't shoot again; yon have
killed.me already, and I am nnarme'd.” The

The most interesting subject of discussion
with the Radicals at present is the propriety
of repenting the Tenure-of-office law. The
ultras of the party are already manifesting a
bitter opposition to the repeal. - They are un
willing to trust the new President, and many
Of them expect a rupture with him at no dis
tant day. If the quarrel does come, having
lost the two-thirds majority in the House,
they would not be able to re-enact 6uch a
law, and they are consequently utterly indis
posed to relax or relinquish the control whieh
Congress now holds over the offices—at least,
not until they are better informed and satis
fied as to General Grant’s disposition and in
tentions. More moderate men, however, see
that a refusal to repeal the obnoxions act
would not only continue to prevent efficiency
in the administrative departments of the
Government but would almost inevitably, by
implying distrust, provoke the very rupture
with the President which they desire to avoid.
There are, it is said, not far irom fifty thou
sand offices to be disposed of, and evevy Re

urgently demanding appointments. But with

is scarcely equal to that; and it is apparent
that the taw must be repealed, or many pa
triotic Radicals will be likely to lose the
hoped for chance of serving the country in ;
official places. The discussions of this.mat-
ter in the party cancuses when Congress
meets are certain to be earnest, and will,,
most probably, be bitter to a degree, quite in
compatible: with the brotherly love which
should prevail in the “loyal” oamp. Hav
ing no. direct interest in the matter, the De
mocracy will be able to observe the progress
of the contest with a serene indifference ap
proaching the complacency of. the affection

can be no doubt, aud that is, that if Gen.
Grant dues not intend to be' the mere tool

strike for independence than that now in his
hands, while the fifty thousand offices can be

The Oalleobnia Wine Trade. —According
to estimates of some of the foremost men in
the trade, toe yield of wine in California this
year—a correspondent of toe New York Jour-
ivil qf Commerce says—will reach 5,000,000 or
6,000,000 gallons, to which must be added
from 300,000 to 400,000 gallons of grape,
brandy. Many new vineyards have come into
bearing, and as the season lias been favorable
in all respects, both UH to climate and exemp
tion from Vine diseases or vermin, a larger
crop than usual Will be secured. All omens
point to the certainty of California obtaining
pre-eminence as a wine growing country, the
increase of production being from ten to
twenty per cent, per annum- New vineyards
are springing np in every part An acre of
good bearing vines produces from 600 to 900
gallons of wine, and, in addition, toe offal or
pomace yields enough to pay the whole ex
penses of the vintage, where the manufac
ture is rightly conducted- Common wine;
six months did, sells in San Francisco at
.from thirty to sixty cents per gallon (coin,)
delivered- Sweet wines command double
these mtes. The dry wines, snch ns hock
and claret, are the simple juice of toe grape
fermented. The same is true of toe white
wine, except that the latter is fermented with,
out toe pulp. Far claret, toe juice ferments
with toe skin, t.he coloring matter being be
tween toe akin and the pulp. No drags of
chemicals are employed, and the genoine
grape is so cheep (toe growers assert) that
they cannot afford to adulterate.

found it necessary to build dams at different
points, intending soon to hoist all the gates^
thereby creating a flood that would enable
toe ties to be gotten down without delay.
Parties were set to work erecting the dams
several days ago, and when the men left their
work at night the beavers commenced where
they left off, and continued working on toe
same, throughout the night, doing a vast
amount of work in a satisfactory manner.
Not only this, but in two or three instances

ton’* Financial Views.
' [Special Dispatch *o the New York Times.] * : '
W shington, November 26.—Tlie outline
of to. Alabama settlement as given in these
dispi .dies last night is correct toe fustian
ana verbeage of other reports to the contrary
land'is to have”two commisiionera, andthis
country but one,' is incorrect;' as is also the
state lent that the coininiBsionerB, when they
.disag. 5e, are themselves to choose an arbiter.
and when they cannot ’ decide, a case nnani-
mously, toe two Governments are to select'au
arbiter. There is considerable surprise ex-
presse 1 here that,toe alleged protocol agreed
upon oetween Mr. Johnson and Lord Sta
leys! nild, by its firsturticle.give England
an o; ;ortunity to compel the'' settlement of
all too counter claims she choose to nre-
pre-
fer as growing oat^pf ffie 'jwaY. ' ." This
conceded, and oiie‘,' hundred and fifty
.millions of ATnhaina claims will be in or/
neutral proper^ by onr army and navy.
Should this provision'prove' to he 03 broad as
indicated, the chances for toC ratification of
the tre:ity by the Senate are very small; for
Congrf ss wftl never accord to a neutral whose
sympathies .were probably against us snch a
mode of redress, while our own citizens at
the South, be they ever so loyal, are.deban-ed
by law from prosecuting like claims against
toe Government in, their own courts.
SENATOR MORTON’S FINANCIAL VIEWS.
Senator Morton is preparmg to. advocate
his financial views with persistency and force
next winter. He had an interview with Secre
tary McCulloch yesterday, and dismissed, at
much length, points of difference between
them. Morton argued that the Government
was not bound to pay off five.twenties in coin,
and should now begin, to redeem the issue
of 1862 with greenbacks. Mr. MdCulloch
replied that the Treasurer could not have
sold these bonds if it hod been toe under
standing that toe principal could be paid in
anything but coin. Senator Morton intends
to introduce a bill embodying his ideas early
in'toe session.
Ku-Klux in Rorth Alabama.
[From the Memphis Avalanche, Sot. 26th.I-
A reliable -correspondent writes as follows
to a friend in ; this city, from Florence, Ala
bama: - - ■ - I --- • - - -
“About a week ago Saturday might, toe Ku-
Klux came. into town.to regulate matters.
They.-were heje from 11 .p. m. to\3 o'clock
a. m;, numbering 500 in all. They shot one
very bad negro, putting six balls through his
head. Many heard. toe noise, . but: did not
know .what was -going on. They.atao.hnng
three or four other negroes nearly dead, and
whipped others severely, in order to make
them tell abont their nightly meetings, and
what their, object was in holding toe same;
also, as to who their leaders were., They
made a clean breast of the whdle matter,' tell
ing everything. The' strangest thing about
these Ku-Kluf was that they did not hesitate
to unmask themselves when asked to. do so;
and out of toe whole party none were identi
fied. Every one who saw' them says their
horses were more beantifiil than, and far su
perior to, any in the country round abont.
They spoke, but little,.but always to toe pur
pose. They went to several stores and
knocked; toe doors were' opened at once.
They then called for a rope, and at each
place a coil was rolled ont to them. They
ent it, suitable in length to. hang a man with.
No one asked for money, and they offered
none. They did not disturb any one else,
nor did they take anything except some-few
Enfield rifles which were found in possession
of some very bad negroes. They called on
the Revenue Collector and passed a few re
marks with him. What transpired is -not
known, but it has made a great improvement
in i,,-o conversation. The-risitdiits’ advent

Gauqnani quotes from ah Italian journal
an .account of a recent operation to save life
by the transfusion of blood. It was per-
formed in Palermo^ at tho Hospital della
Concezioue, by Dr. Albauese. A young man
had a leg amputated for a bad humor, while
in a very low state; bnt toe operation re
duced bun to a worse, state than ever,; and it
became apparent that he was fast sinking, toe
pulse being imperceptible and the body cold.
. In this emergency the. transfusion of blood
was proposed. Two assistants of. toe hospi
tal offered to have thev veins opened for this
purpose, and tons, at two different intervals,
two hundred and twenty gmu. qf blood were
introduced into the parent’s system. After
the first time‘he recovered the • faculty of
ich,.and stated that before he could nei-
lersee nor hear, bnt; now felt aa if .he ..were
flying in. the air. At latest dates he was re
ported in a fair way to. recover. This is one
of the few sneoessful cases ofthe kind on
record.
A ludiceo is afrdsSnhsfng incident recently
occurred in i ounection with- the Gentile op
position to Mormon authority. A man
coming from .the West stopped at the. Hot
.Springs, just outside MTTtah city, and hav
ing heard muoh of their medicinal properties,
was about, ,ta bathe in one of them. After
.he had disrobed, and just as he was abont ,to
plunge in, a stranger approached, and told
him that he could not bathe'in that spring.
The Western.,Gentile’s ire became at once
.aroused, and .thinking that it was another in-
’ stance qf Mormon despotism, ho immedi
ately replied: “The h—11 can’t; Td like to
see old Brigham or anybody stop me,” and in
he plunged, but he got out sooner than he
got in, for it was a boiling sjpring. His anger
against too Mormons^ had not permitted him
to ask the stranger why he cfaild not bathe
there, but he was determined to show Brig
ham that he-could not stop him from bathing.
