The advancement of the South in the way of agricultural and man ufacturing pursuits is fast attract- ingtbo attention of Northern journ als, and we hope will do the South good. In a late issue of the Car- linvlllc, (Ills.) Enquirer, one of the leading newspapers of that State, we find the following: "No people ever made a nobler struggle,to regain their former pres tige than arc the people of the South to day. The men of brains and influence all know that' sla very is abolished und that it can never be restored—in truth they do not want it restored. They do want Nortncrn enterprise, and in* dnstry and capital, they want men of experience in agriculture and business—men who have been taught in tho school ol experience ill the fertile fields of the North, whore slave labor never existed Such men can And grand opportu nities in the South most anywhere and can procure land cheaper than in the West with a greater certain ty of a crop. We are pleased to see the following article in the Inst issue of tiie Virdin Re/mrler anil eordmlly indorse it. " We have received several pack ages of papers from Georgia which are pleasant to read in the midst of our snow squalls and slush. Even the advertisements, which indicate a new order of tilings or modern life, are fresli witli tiie airs and warm sunshine of a land highly fa vored by nature. In them wo cun trace the scent ol orange groves, and the invigorating breath of the Gulf, blown through the resinous branches of the “Plney Woods.” Here, for instance, oil the banks of the “Suwanoc River,” immortalised in melody, is a farm for sale in a region where tomatoes are ready to ship to the Northern market, where peaches arc annual (and not semi-oconsionul) in their luxuriant richiless, where La Comte pears ri val the fumed excellence of Cali fornia fruit and all berries reach a rare perfection as naturally and surely as grass grows on our prai rie slopes. Then, too, there ure "flg trees, and ISO orange trees, flewer yard of rare flowers, all nice ly arranged," Ac. "But seriously, has not the time come when Horace Greeley’s fa mous advice should lie changed for awhile or at least supplemented witli "Go South, Young Man !” “Tho West is good enough and for some persons and ior some line ol business, would be preferred There arc, however, many men and many families of moderate means who can not establish themselves on our lands at 50 or 75 dollars un aero, who could do better iiml lind a more eongenial climate in Ala bama, Georgia or Florida, on lands that can now be had at from 1' to SO dollars per acre—land which, with as thorough work and culture as we are used to here, would bring in nsf prolltulile results. Neither tho climate nor tho methods ol farming necessary in the South, would suit all of those who wisii to seek now homes where land is tdicap, but to some such, there can bo no doubt, a Georgia farm would prove a pleasant and profitable home, who might meet financial disaster and disappointment amidst- the winter rigors of Nebraska or Dakota. “For the good, pf all concerned, and of all sections of the country, the trade of Northern emigration ought to divide, aud a branch "Go South.” There would be more successful homes established, and political fraternity would lie ce mented by an inter clutnge of sen- timent and blood. Wo are glad to see the press and business public of the South bending their ener gies in the interest ot the .perma nent settlement of their waste lands, and Hie building up of uias- iifacturing interests and solid pros perity and good will." The Gieenbackers have called a national convention, to meet at St. Louts on the 8tb of March. The town of Ellavllle, Schley county, has taken the first step to wards advancement to city digni ty. It has established hitching posts and laid out sidewalks. Gridin News: Griffin is soon to have another telegraph line, on ac count of the largo business done; and it is also rumored that it is soon to be made a billing ofllcc by the express company for tiie same reason. Griflln is a business place. Neil Willingham, of the Albany News, gives tbiB sage advice to the inexperienced who may he con templating matrimony: “Young man after you are married you may deceive your guileless wife for a while, but her father’s wife nev er." The following statement of the number ot firms burnt at Haver bill, Mass, is very correct: One hundred and eight shoe manufac turers, twenty-six sole leather arms fgbt- shoe trimming firms, eight leather firms, two national banks l one savings hunk, four machinists three pattern makers, two leather board firms, five hairdressers, four eating saloons and some fifty oth ers, making exactly two hundred and eighty-two in all.

Ol course, it will pass the House, and Arthur will prompt ly sign it. Tilers is one consola tion to be derived from all this. It will remove the last possible ex cuse for continuing to mako of Gen.
