fbr Haili! yta City Printer—Official Paper I,ARREST CiTY* CIRCILATION. Uc* t.r «'ra. , (♦ a. . i SATURDAY MORNING luly 21, i ßß * Home Industry. We sometimes wonder why the South should be so supine and careless about developing her resources,about securing her own prosperity and greatness in the Union. She has the means nr.d only needs the facilities to Work out one of the grandest destinies that ever attended any people or any nation. Look at her fertile soil, adapted to temperate and tropical vegetables, suitable to corn, cot ton, wheat and rice, peaches, apples, pears, oranges, bananas, pine apples ; and what is being done to cultivate this soil, to test its capacity of production? Little or nothing. Northern inventive genius has succeeded in producing vari ous kinds of agricultural improvements, which render the cultivation of the soil comparatively easy, and vastly more pro fitable than under the old system, which did well enough when slavery existed but with the introduction of freedom, has become effete and useless. The present system of labor in the South will not prove satisfactory to its employers. Efforts should be made to encourage immigration, and plantations should be divided and sold, or rented in small parcels to honest and industrious laborers. The improvements in ma chinery should be liberally introduced and applied, and no effort spared to make our agricultural system productive and profitable as it should and will be if pro perly conducted. What is beiug done in the way of i opening up our marble quarries.ourgold mines, our manganese fields, of culti vating the grape, of producing wine, of procuring tar, pitch and turpentine, and all the other important resources which characterize the States of the South? Little or nothing. This is wrong. If we have not the capital ourselves to de velop and apply them properly, why not invite Northern capital into our midst? This would give employment to thous ands of industrious people, make our section rich and prosperous, and give it a power in the Union that no political alliance or Convention can ever achieve for it. What are we doing in regard to man ufactures, rnil roads, commerce, etc.? Scarcely anything. All that we need we are dependent upon the North or Europe for, while we are content with the most limited means of communica tion. Factories should be erected, rail roads built, steamboat and steamship lines established,Chambers of Commerce should be organized, and whatever praiseworthy enterprise is established should meet with the most liberal pat ronage and encouragement from our home people. In every department of industry and enterprise, energy and activity should be 1 displayed, capital furnished or encour aged to come here, and everything done to promote the prosperity of our section. It is far better than meddling with poli tics, and will be productive of greater and more lasting results. The following paragraphs show that the right spirit is animating some por tion of the South ; and that the people of Central Alabama are going to work in earnest and in the right direction. Their example is worthy of general imi tation : Recohstruction of tre Right Sort.— It gives us much pleasure and hope, says the Columbus Enquirer, to see such calls as the following in the Southern papers. Our friends in Alabama are certainly on the right track this time, and if they will only persevere and carry out their enterprise, they will soon realize the fact that they took the very beat course to alleviate the distress ard promote the welfare of their people, as well as to advance their own interests : “To the Citizess of Macon and Adjoin ing Counties. —Notice is hereby given that a grand convocation of the people of this county and surrounding country will be held at Auburn, on Wednesday, the 18th inst, “The object of this meeting is to take into consideration the propriety and neces sity of inaugurating manufacturing inter ests among ourselves; to convert the raw material, in which our country abounds, into manufactured article* ; to develop the rioh and vast resources of our beautiful country; thereby rendering ourselves inde pendent of others—and relying upon the sterling energies of our people, by God’s help and blessing, to reinstate us and bring back our former prosperity. Let all come and talk together freely upon this all important subject. C. Kaifokd, President, K. T. Glenn, Secretary. Auburn, Ala., July 4, 1866. A Lettish from Niagara to a Rich mond paper sayt: “ James M. Mason has arrived in Niagara with his family. I hear that Mr. Mason is unsubdued and unconquered, a true lover of bis grand old State, and an open admirer ot her war record. —The editor of an Eastern paper says that many of his patrons would make good wheel-horses--they hold hack so well. The Bornino ok Columbia. —If General Sherman wants another fight there is an opening lor it in the follow ing correspondence, which hbs just been published : Athil 22, 18^6.—General Sherman bav ing, charged me in his official report, with the destruction of Columbia, and having reiterated the samo falsehood in a recent letter tb Behjamin Rawls, of that city, may I beg you to state such facts in reference to this matter as are in your possession? If you recollect, l advised you on the morn iog the Yankees canto in not to burn the cotton ns it would endanger the town. I stated that us they had destroyed the rail road they could not movo tho cotton. Upon this representation you directed me to issne an order that the cotton should not jbe burned. This I did at orcc, and not a | bale was on fire when tbo \uni ces came j iuto town. You saw ihe cotton as you left the city, and you can say that nono was on fire. Very respectfully, vours, Wade llamfton. To Gen. G. T. Ecaurcgard. New Orleans, May 2, 1866.—Th0 above statement of den. Hampton, relative to tho order issued by me at Columbia, 6. C., not to burn the cotton in that city is perfectly true and correct. The only thin*; on tiro at the time of tho evacuation was the depot building of the £outh Carolina Rail Road, which caught fire accidentally from the ex plosion of some ammunition ordered to be sent towards Charlotte, N. C. G. T. Beauregard. We hope this will set this affair at rest. Everybody knows Beauregard and Hampton, and everybody knows Sherman. We are satisfied to rest the case with the judgment of the world on this knowledge. Tiie New English Ministry.—The newly formed English Ministry, stands as follows : Premier—Lord Derby. Chancellor of tho Exchequer—Mr. Dis raeli. Foreign Secretary—Lord Stanley. Home Secrotary—Mr. Walpole. Colonial Secretary—Lord Carnarvon. Secretary for India—Lord Craubornc. Secretary of War—Gen. Peel. First Lord of tho Admiralty—Sir John Fackington. President of the Council—Duke of Buck ingham. Privy Seal—Lord Malmesbury. Lord Chancellor—Lord Chelmsford. Lord Lieutenant of Ireland—Marquis of Abercorn. President of Board of Trade—Sir Stafford Northcotc. President of Poor Law Board—Mr. Hardy. There are, says the New York Times, one or two minor offices not yet reported filled* But the principal seats arc to bo occupied, as we sec, by men who have no sympathy whatever with Reform, and whose term of office can be extended or shortened at the pleasure of those they have displaced. Their temporary success will lie mainly in a steady resolution to do nothing. With this in view, they have put the most cautious and pain staking man of tho lot—Lord Stanley—into tbo Foreign Office. And it is possible enough they may got through the remainder of the session with comparative ease. No one ex pects them to bring in a Reform Bill; and if they steer clear of foreign complications, they can reckon on at least a six mouths' lease of power. —The English people have a method of showing their opinions of their pub lic men, which is more pointed than pleasant to those who labor under the popular disapproval. On the evening when the Ministry resigned, an immense crowd assembled about the Parliament House, and as the members arrived, Sir John Fackington, Lord Duttkelling and Mr. Whiteside were loudly groaned and hooted, while Sir Edward Bulwer Lytton passed out unobserved. Mr. D’lsraeli was greeted with hisses, yelling, and other marks of disapprobation. Mr. Gladstone drove up in an epett carriage and was enthusiastically cheered. When the House broke up the same scenes were renewed. Mr. Gladstone and Mr. Bright were welcomed with great ap plause, while the unpopular members had to run the gauntlet of a storm of hisses and groans. Some, more fortu nate, avoided these demonstrations by making a flank movement in the rear of tho building, and escaping unobserved. —Canadians seem to believe that the scheme for a Federal Union of all the British North American Provinces i3 near its accomplishment. As neither Nova Scotia nor New Brunswick have expressed themselves definitely upon the subject, the whole question is left to the delegates who are shortly to leave for England, acting in concert witn the Imperial Parliament. —A new and singular source of mag netic iron has been discovered. It ap pears that the shavings of iron and steel, and especially the long spirals produced in turning iron on the lathe, are highly magnetic, especially in the case ol soft iron. This magnetism is permanent, and M. Grciss, the discoverer, has observed that the south pole is always at the end which is first touched by the tool. —The New York Tribune is cm phatic <ln speaking of the Common Council of that city: “We now give notice that an earnest effort will bo made next Winter to abolish the Com mon Council of our city. It does noth ing but steal ; and it does that on so gigantic a settle that the city can no longer afford the expensive luxury of a Common Council. The Louisville Courier, on the 4th of July, published the Declaration of Independence as news for lludicnl, readers. LATEST NEWS. Tho following was published in the city papers of yosterday evening. Savannah, July 20, 1866.—A county meoting was held last evening to elect delo gatos to the first Congressional district, at which Mayor Saunders presided. Hon.
