From the New York Record- Material I'l-uiiress of I lie South. XVo hear much from the Southern journals, and through tho medium of private eorrfspondence, from well-in formed friends, of the rapid restoration of the South to business and commer cial prosperity; hut one must step down to Wall street, among the mcn oy kings, and into Church street, and Bond street, nnd Maiden lane, among the wholesale merchants, to obtain piacticul proof of what that recupera tion really means “But for the Southern trade, sir,” snid a leading et niicission merchant t> the writer of this, one day Inst week, “busintss i:i New Yo k to lay would he aft stagnant as in thn dead of sum mer. The West is heels ever head and e»re ia debt, and is not on’y slow in buying, but backward in paying up old scores, while New England and the Middle States nro not in the mar ket at all to any not : eeable extent.” We inquired what tho South was chiefly purchasing. He said : “Almost everything that can be bought for cash—dry goods, hard w aie, boots and shoes, drugs and hi d icinea, groceries, and not a few articles that are classed under the head of luxuries.” Tho Charleston, Savannah, Mobilo and New Orleans steamers during the fortnight past, have ail gone out with as much freight as ihey could find room lor. Looking into a leading financial house, near the corner of South Wil ham stri et, wo had abundance of cor roboratory evidence of this gratifying aspect ol the Southern situation from a purely financial and stock-jobbing standpoint. “Cctton has turned out so well, nnd comes to so profitable a market,” said a bank president, “that the South to day has absolutely more hard cash than we of the North. It is that sec tion that is just now making about all the foreign exchange in the market of a mercantile character, and from pies ent appearances it v ill not be 1 >ng be fore they will havo wiped out vvhatev er indebtedness there is still standing against them here, and disencumbered now of the disabilities incident one way and another to the old system of labor, be ready to start off on a career of prosj eritv which other sections of the country may wei! er.vv.” “Besides the r cotton,” chimed iD a bystander, “their sugar has turned out remarkably well. In the parish of St. Mary, Lu, alone, 1 6eo they have ra sed a crop this season that will net the planters at least a rniiiion of dol lars. Anil trmn tho adjoining pmrish cr v. y navo cqa.-hy Livoratde r-porrs." “That’s not ali,” said a well known member of the Htock Exchange, “do you see how their Btute bonds are coming up in the market ? The de mand for them at the Hoard the past Imtn ght has been eager, at steadily appreciating prices. Some of the smewdest capitalists among uh, fore casting tho future, have discovered it: them sale anti profitable investments. In tact, it would not be surprising if ihe Border State bonds should be sell ing at [tar before long, with those of the Gull States following. A member oflbe Er.e clique called attention to another equally significant fact, namely, that many Southern rail roads were now coming, for the first time, to be quoted in this market. The damage that was worked by the war, on many of the lines, is being rapidly repaired, and Northern capitalists are 6teadily buying up the s nek. lie had no doubt that bes re iong, some of their roads, tho shares of which but lately would scarcely command ten cents on the dollar, would be on the same footirg with the New York Cen tral, Michigan, Southern, and North west roads. “There is another element ot future prosperity for that section,” remarked a veteran shipmaster from South street, “which they would be very unwise not to develop.” ■‘What is that?” we answered. “Direct steam communication with the leading ports of tho old world. In the absence of that the p ! /inters and merchants will always be at the merry of Northern middlemen, and subject to enormous drawbacks upon the value of everything they may have to sell.— English capital has already started two or three lines, nnd these ought to be supported. But, by-nad-by, the South should own her own steamers, ns no doubt she will. Iu that case, she w ill bo enabled, in good part, to do her ow n banking, aud by deal ng direct with her customers, the exchange which at present goes into the pockets of the Wall street brokers, will be kept in her own.” Borne one asked, “How about the political situation and its bearing upon those substantial proofs of recovering property “Gentlemen,” said an old merchant from Mobile, “the Stuth does net at this moment care the toss of a eopper fur the ‘political situation,’ as you call it: The Radicals have done all the mischief to her they are capable of, and they can do no more. The people among whom I live can see that there are certain ugly problems that will have to be settled ere long, between capital and labor, among you here in the North and West, and they calcu late tout set lemetit will give tho dem gogues at Washington as much busi ness as they can attend to, without working further malice on our section Tho great majority of the Southern ! people, I think, are in favor of letting politics severely alone for the present, i They are going to work to make big j crops and get mouey, knowing full | well that whoever has the longest * puree is going to be the governing class nni the ruling section in this country for generations and genera tions to come ” Tho philosophy of that lust observa tion seemed to impress all present; but further colloquy was cut olf by some confusion created by the announce, meat of “another bond robbery” in bond robbery” in South William street, with a hn i in the 5 20's and tin up ward movement in the gold room.

I’ is well known that 1 very few if the lathers if our republic were the inheritors of dis tinction. Washington was almost the or ly gentleman by right of birth in al! that astonishing company of thinker* anil actors. Two or three Virginian*, J >hn .Jay, of New York, an f half doz en more men from other provinces were exceptions. Rut Frank.iu was a printer’s bn; Sherman, a shoemaker; Knox was a hook-b'nder; Greene a blacksmith; John Adams and Marshall the sons of poor farmer*, and Hamil ton, the most subtile, fiery aud eltctri cal, but at the same timo the most composed and orderly genius of all except the unapproachable Chief, was 1 1 as humble par< n’tige ts the rest, arid himself at the beginning a clerk or a shop keeper And if we come down to a late period, Daniel XVcb.-ter was a bod cf a country farmer, and wai rcs cu and from the occupation of drover on ly by the shrewd observation of Chris topber Core, whom he called upon sot advice in respect to a difficulty arising from the salo of a pair of storr;; and John C.
