THE LARGEST CIRCULATION.
AUGUSTA, GA..I
WEDNESDAY MORNING...March 7, 1866
To Corr«;npondents.
All communications on every business
connected with the Daily Prkss, must
be addressed to the Proprietor, E. H.
Pughe, Augusta, Ga.
Patronage of Home Industry.
In continuation of our remarks on this
important subject, we may add a few ad
ditional suggestions. We have already
laid down the proposition that the en
couragement and support of agricultural
and industrial enterprises is really of
more importance to the South at this
time than even the admission of her
Senators and Representatives in Con
gress ; and why is this ? Because, hav
ing just emerged from a long, bloody,
and disastrous war, her every interest is
prostrated, all her resources are dormant,
and she is in almost an abnormal con
dition. To bring back prosperity and
plenty to her borders, is the first duty of
every citizen; while the admission of our
Senators and Representatives in Con
gress would give us no more power in
that body than we now possess. In
brief, we can get along very well without
the one, and we cannot without the
other. Why', then, should we disturb
our equanimity or perplex our brains
about political affairs, when there is so
much to be done in a wider and more
important field ? Why should we stand
with heads uncovered and hats in hand,
vainly beseeching admittance to the
Council halls of the nation, while every
interest of our unfortunate section of the
Union is crying aloud to us to be up and
doing, to work, to bend ourselves to the
task of regeneration with all the ener
gies that we are capable of? Rather let
us erect factories and foundries, machine
shops, and furnaces; rebuild our ruined
sanctuaries, establish schools and colle
ges ; turn up the soil, plant, sow, and
reap the rich harvest of plentf and pros
perity which will surely follow honest
industry and untiring energy.
With white labor properly protected
and properly directed, the rich produc
tive soil of these States will once more
be made to “blossom as the rose,” the
golden tassels of the Indian corn will
once more proudly wave in the gentle
Southern breezes, and the snowy fields
where old King Cotton was wont to
wield his sceptered sway, will again
beautify the valleys and the hill-sides
and plenty will smile on every side.
Not only put your manufactories in
operation; but when the water wheel
and the steam engine have per
formed their duty; When the loom,
and the spindle, and the anvil have ful
filled the objects for which they are in
tended; when the fabrics and the im
plements have been produced or fash
ioned into shape, let us purchase them
here rather than, go abroad for similar
articles. Let us keep our money at
home; let us encourage our mechanics
nnd laborers ; let us support our own
industry and enterprise; for herein re
ally lies the secret of our independence
—not a political independence, for to ob
tain that we have vainly essayed and sig
nally failed ; but an independence ol'far
more importance, more enduring and
more worthy of our most strenuous efforts.
Such an independence as this will wit
ness every valley and every hill top
crowned with the products of our soil;
every city swarming with a busy and
prosperous people ; every town, village
and hamlet increasing in wealth and
population. Such an independence will
make us great, wealthy, prosperous and
respected, a power in the nation, hon
ored and admired abroad. Such an in
dependence is what we want—such an
independence is what we must strive to
work for.
—I was riding recently in Missouri,
in company with a native. Some one on
the roadside asked him, “How is the
folks ?” “Plum,” was the brief and only
reply. “How are yours?” “Square,”
was the solitary ribald answer. I found
that plum and square were used
beyond the Masonic lodges, and had
come to mean “all right” in Western
phrase.
—A shark would make a great mis
take in swallowing a couple of doctors.
They would be sure not to agree upon
his stomach.
—The losses by fire last year in New
York amounted to eighty million dol
lars.
—The worst line to get tangled in is
crino-line. It makes a fellow feel dis.
tressingly.
The Rail Road bridge over the
Hudson, at Albany, is completed.
—Maggie Mitchell is playing the inev
itable “Fanchon" in New York.

A Great Preventative of Sickness.
jJENNIS’ SARSAPARILLA
FOR PURIFYING THE BLOOD.
It acts on the liver, keeps the bowels free,
producing an evacuation of the morbid bile,
in cases ot billiousness, and improves the
complexion and general health.
Some who have taken it have said that it
had produced but little action on the bowels,
but their complexion had improved, and
they have felt betfer since taking it, but did
not know whether it was this medicine that
had improved their health or not. If it did
not act on the liver and purify the blood, so
many, especially females of a billious tem
perament, would nqt so generally say, “their
complexion had improved and they have
felt better since taking it.”
