The Now Orleans Picayune has some statistic* altowing that before the civil war the South had more taxable property on her rolls than Now England and the Middle States combined. After the con test and five years of peace, she had sunk $300,000,OOO b- low the Now England State* alone. In 1 SCO forty percent, of all the real and personal property as¬ sessed in the United States was in the Southern -States, while now they have only ourteen per cent. Some English capitalists own 300,000 acres of land in Alabama, on the line of the Alabama Great Southern railroad, which are very rich in timber and min¬ erals and which they intend developing. For the present chief attention will be given to developing the mineral resource* of those lands, which are almost bound¬ less, but the fanning interests will not be neglected. Arrangements are now making to induce immigration of En lish farmer*, and at an early day a num¬ ber will probably settle on the lands. Dellvillc (Tex.} Times : W. E.
