Mi:. FItiITOh ; If wo lout overall the'
Southern States I refer exclusively to
those which are known an “lately in re
bellion" aii'l examine the condition of
tin l Je-ople, I lielieve that we must, come
to the painful ■ mielnsion that our mate
rial pro4jierity has not inereaseil since
the close of tin wir; in other words, that
we are hardly Wtter off to-day than we
w. re when, after on ■ wretched journey
from Ap|iomattox Court-house and
Ureenslioro, we reached our homes as pa
roled prisoners in 1865. We have toil
ed and moiled during all these eitfht
vears. we have In u industrious anil
Iwirno our reverses like men. hut where
are the fruits of our industry? In oif,'ht
years, if we had pursu' and a proper system,
wcoueht to have increased our wealth
and restored our prosperity. We had
the hrains and the muscle, the land and
t he sea si ms, and no country in the world
is as‘productive ai ours. \Ve have made
millifins upon millions of hales of cotton
in that time. Taking the average price
during the eight years, we have received
a handsome sum for our cotton, amount
ing to several hundred millions of dol
lars; vet, T repeat, examine the cotton
Stat >s and the condition of their people,
and where do you fin 1 any evidences of
prosperity stvll as these immense re
ceipts would justify you in expecting?
Our farm buildings arc more dilapidated
and discreditable than ever; our fences
rotten and valueless; our stock fewer in
number and of poorer quality; our corn
cribs empty and our people buying com
and bay on credit in March to make the
coming crop; id a aide of home-raised
lusat in our Riri'ke-liouses, not ft barrel
of flour, not a gallon of molasses, except
what we have bought flom our merchants
at ruinous rates of interest; not a mule
or horse that is not imported; and every
thing we wear and use made in Yankee
dom and sold to us at immense profits
in return for inr raw cotton, which iH
bought frotn us at whatever price the
Yankee consumer cl coses to pay. Where
are our niiumfm tun s ? When you do
find a cotton n ill, a fcimdiy, or a facto
iv of anv mi) t, it is mainly owned and
cent "lied by foreign capital. Look at
■nr Ii nks. Yankees i nil and own I hern
to a great extent. Look at our railroads
iu the hands of the Tom .Scotts and Stan
tons and fleulils. who use our bonds in
dorsed bv our States, and on which we
pav the interest, to build the roads and
run them to the advantage of the Yankee
rings and spe< ulators. Nay, more; our
houses, our pmpi rt v and our lives are ili
um and for the most part, aro insured in
Northern couipanics, who do us the holl
ar to take our money and repudiate their
obligations whenever it suits them, as
our sad experience taught us during the
war. Where do you hear of a Southern
shiji? Where can you find a vestige of
strictly Southern commerce? Os what
good, then, have been the millions wc
have received for our cotton if we have
nowhere any of the usual evidences of
prosjierity ? If we were prosperous, our
water courses from their sources to the
sea would not he as bare of improvement
as the day they came fresh from the
hand of the Creator. We should be un
able to travel far out of the sound of the
spindle, the loom and the hammer, in
stead of being able, as now, to t ravel for
I lay a without the ear ever being gladden
ed by any of these sounds of popular in
dustry.
• Again the question recurs, what, has
Is-eome of the hundreds of millions of
dollars we have received for our cotton?
They have gone out Os the country to
pav for tlm articles we have eaten, drank,
#orn and i mployed for i very farm and
domestic pin pose, most of w hich we have
bought on credit and paid fur with inter
est at the rate of forty-five percent., and
all of which wc were compelled to buy
because we devoted all our land and
time aml labor to raise cotton to the ex
clusion of evciy one of the necessaries of
life Here is the cause, sir, of our pov
erty; this is tlw reason why we are not
p osperotis. We make every effort,
spend every dollar we own and every
one we caii borrow, even at usury, to
make a big crop. \\ e make it, and find
after it is sold that w. are poorer than
before. Doc* the experience prompt us
to change our course and act differently
the next year ? No; the only effect pro
duced is to stimulate ns to still greater
effort to make a still bigger crop, and
find ourselves upa ; u ] than at the
end of the first year’s disastrous experi
ence. We shut our eye* to the great
economical fads that by producing an
excess of i-otteu wc un ess-irily reduce its ;
price, and that by producing none of the
n»*i*essarics of f* We maease their price, |
and thus impov-visli cm a Ives. Misgov- :

substance to sonic < xtent; but bad as j
these have b,~ u. th y are not responsi

yu * ereve. • oi’.'-se bow «;n we expect
v ,
the means to do so. When our means
are totally exhausted, then, and then on
ly, shall we discover that we have erred.
There arc exceptions. There are wise
planters who prosjier. But they are the
few-—like angels’ visits, “few aiul far be

sad truths.
Yours respectfully,

The Secret of Yankee Prosperity.
Under t his head tlie veteran editor of
tlm Mobilk Register, Hon. John Forsyth,
has this to say :
A Southern man, after having made a
flying trip through the New England
States, comes back filled with astonish
ment at what he has seen, and perfectly
discouraged with his own section of coun
try. There he saw little villages stick
ing in the midst, of barren and uninhab
itable mountains, with no surroundings
to support them, evincing a spirit of life
and prosperity unknown to even our
large towns the recognized trade-cen
tres of our best agricultural regions.
And in the country he saw little farms
producing like first-class English gar
dens, though on soil originally too poor
to have grown bear-grass, and in situa
tions that a Southern man never would
have thought, capable of being converted
into a goat pasture. The people, all as
a general thing, seemed contented and
prosperous; and if he had inquired into
their circumstances he would have found,
strange as it may appear, everybody in
these little villages well off and making
money, and the little farms, with tlieir
stone piles here and there, and their
stones constantly working to the surface
to be carried of into other piles, and
their annual calls for fertilizers to the
extent, of one hundred and fifty dollars
pier acre, actually clearing their owners
from one to three hundred dollars on
every acre inclosed. No wonder that he
is discouraged when he looks from this
picture upon our favorably located towns
and notes their inactivity, their poverty
and general dilapidation, and upon our
broad and fertile acres, and reflects that,
they are really, in very many instances,
not paying the expense of culture.
One would naturally conclude that
there must be some secret connected with
all this, and so there is. At the village
station the close observer would notice
pill's of cotton bales, a circumstance cal
culated to create, no particular interest
in the South, but there, thousands of
miles away from where, cotton should be
grown, it. would take the form of mystery.
Stepping out upon the platform in quest
of a solution, his ears would be greeted
by a sound as of a waterfall having a
peculiar humming accompaniment- spin
dles. The ease would bo made plain
the strange little village would be recog
nized as a manufacturing point, and
then he would know that we in a far off
section were digging its prosperity from
our soil feeding it into a vigorous life
upon the very food for which our towns
were starving, and asking it nothing in
return; actually shipping our cotton at
our own expense, and then, in order that,
it might, grow fat on its business, buying
its fabrics at its own profitable figures,
and pay ing transportation on them to
our homes. What, a kind-hearted peo
ple we Southerners must he !
Then for the secret of success among
the farmers. Passing through Ihe coun
try with his eyes open, the close observer
would at, the proper season soon have
his attention arrested by an improved
mower swooping over the meadow under
the exclusive management of a youth of,
say sixteen, and accomplishing more in
a day than could be wormed out of a
dozen freednieu with their scythes. A
little later and he would see the younger
brother of the youth turning the hay;
and then in due time would come a still
smaller boy with rake, followed by a trio
of little fellows having all sorts of fun as
they, with a hay fork, stored away the
crop in the liay-loft.
Iu everything done on (lie farm in
New England this same plan is resorted
to. If the soil must tie prepared, instead
of setting a dozen frecumen at it with
their mules and plows to sweat through
a week, as wV would do, out comes a ma
chine managed by a boy or two, and in
an incredibly short space of time the job
is done and well done. A lot of seed is
to be sown that would give our hands a
long, tedious task; but there a stripping
with a seed sewer puts it down exactly
right and in very short order. And
when the eiop is ready to be hoed, in
stead of charging it with a black army to
play for pay, a boy harnesses his nag as
a horse-hoe, takes his seat as in a sulky,
and rides about over the field hoeing sev
eral rows at a time. In short. New Eng
land works by machinery, and therein
lies the secret of Yankee prosperity.
She has simply changed places with us
she owns her labor. If it were other
wise, or, in different words, did she have
to work on our plan, and depend on our
kind of labor, and did we not in the
goodness of our hearts give her the prof
its of our products, a few years would
find her entirely depopulated, a happy
hmitiiuj ground, upon which the redinan
might piteli his wigwam, never to be dis.
tin-bed by any encroachment of civilisa
tion.
There is no reason wliv we in the South
should not own our labor in the same
way, and set our spindles going, thus
giving prosperity to our own towns and
villages. We can never be a success till
we do it. Lot us think the matter over.
A MEXICAN BANDIT.
A fearful story is told of the Indian
chief and robber of Topic, Mexico, Loza
do, which has but recently been brought
; lief ore the public, and which for cruelty
: cannot find a parallel. In the small Vil
i age of San Luis, near Topic, there lias
! ls-en discovered a subterranean apart
! ment, constructed especially for the pros,
j edition of horrible crimes, and in this
was found, not long since, a man who for
! fourteen years had not seen the light of
dav. Unshaven, unwashed, almost dou-
I bled by feebleness, and withal .bereft of
sense, when discovered he is said to have
had more the appearance of a wild ani
mal than of humanity. Prom motives of

this sepulchre, and formerly would seem
to have taken especial pleasure in wit
nessing the tortures of this unhappy
man. visiting him daily for that purpose.

obliged to use the utmost prudence in
bringing him forth from his living tomb
to enjoy once more the liberties of life,

thought his enfeebled system will not

bring.

A MODEL NEWSPAPER.
TUB SAVANNAH DAILY NBWS.
Tho Savannah Daily Morning Nkwq is ac
knowledged by the press and people to be the
best daily paper south of Louisville and east of
New Orleans. Currying with It the prestige and
reliability of vgw. it bus all the vigor ami vitality
of youth, and its enterprise hk a gatherer ol the
the latest and freshest news has astonished its
contemporaries and met the warm approbation
of the public.
During the year 1873. no expense of time, la
bor, and money will be spent to keep the Motix
i\ < j Nkws ahead of all competitors in Georgia
journalism, and to deserve tin* flattering encomi
ums heaped upon it from all quarters. There
has, as yet, been no serious attempt made to ri
val the special telegrams whicii the Nkws inan
gurated some years ago, and »b« consequence is,
that the reader in search of the latest intelligence
always looks to the Morning Nkws. The tele
graphic arrangements of the paper are such that
the omissions made by the general press reports
are promptly and reliably su plied by its special
correspondents.
The Morning Nkws has lately been enlarged
to a thirty six column paper, and this broad
scope of type embraces, daily, everything ol in
terest that transpireh inthedonm nos Literatine,
Art. Science, Politics, Religion, and General In
Udligence: giving to the reader more and better
digest, matter than any other paper in the Stale.
It is. perhaps needless to speak of the politics
of the Morning Nkws. For years and years— in*
deed, since its establishment— it has been a re
presentative Southern paper, and from that
time to the present, in all conjunctures, it has
consisM* tly and persistently maintained Demo
critic States Rights principles, and laboied, with
an ardor and devotion that know no abatement,
to promote and preserve the interests and honor
of the South.
The special matures of the Morning Nkws will
be retained pud i up roved upon dining the ensu
ing year, and several new attractions w ill be
added.
The Georgia News items, with their quaint
and pleasant humor, and the epitome of Florida
affairs, will be continued during the year. The
local department will be, as it has been Tor the
past year, the most complete and reliable to be
found in any Savannah paper, and the commer
cial columns will be full and accurate.
The price ol the Daily is $lO 00 per annum;
$3.00 for six months; SI.OO for one month.
THE TRI-WEEKLY NEWS.
Thi. edition ol the Morning .Mkws is especial
ly recommended to those who have not the fac'd- j
ities of a daily mail. Everything that has been j
said it. regard to the daily edition may be re-1
peated of the Tri-weekly. It i« made up with
great care, and contains tin l latest despatches j
and nun ket reports. The price of this edition!
is $6.00 per annum. $3.00 for six months, and ;
$1.50 for three months.
Til F. WEEK LY NEWS.
The Wkkkly Morning Nkws particularly rec- ■
ommends itself to the farmer and planter, and to
those who live off the line of railroad. It is one
of the beM family papers in the country, and its i
cheapness brings it within tie reach of all. It j
contains Thirty-six solid columns of reading mat
