a u<wil i:\nmpit. Tbojnnltiiilluity of small manufac tures In the North and West is a so urea of iK'i'i'cimil astonishment to the inlml itants of those sections, as much as to those of less enterprising regions. Year by year the number of sttmll establishments which are rapidly creeping up to the dignity id’ great ones increases so largely that the statistics are startling. Nor is this confined to any sf>ecial locality, where, for instance, agriculture would yield but sorry profit, or where the populations are mainly foreign—from manufacturing town's in the Old World. On the contrary, this marked increase is quite as per eeptible in those Western and North eastern States where agriculture nays ] large profits, as in those where hard i winters and narrow boundaries make j the labor of the farmer fruitless and his life full of harassing perplexities. I In Illinois and Missouri, where ugri- j culture.certainly will pay if it will] anywhere in the world, manufactu ring lias already taken front rank among industrial pursuits. Those two great States, whose millions of fertile acres will yield almost evert pyoduct possible in a Northern elf mate, have dotted their territory with j smart towns, in which the fabrica tion of useful articles to be sold in the neighborhood Is engaged in with as muen energy and pertinacity us in any New England town. The people who once eoushlered manufacturing plebeian are now proud to earn their oread, as well as some huge profits, by means of it. In a single town in Illinois, a town containing, perhaps, twenty-live hun dred dwelling houses, there are at least six score manufactories of nil grades. Vast numbers of agricultu ral implements are annually made there, and, we dare say, are shipped South to planters who ought to be able to buy them from manufacturers in towns not more than ten to twen ty miles from their plantations. This busy Illinois village also makes ma chinery, furniture, gloves and mit tens; ui> windi- streets of (louring mills, and sends into the market all varieties of paper. At the same time it is prosperous in an agricultu ral sense. It managed to ship more than three hundred thousand bush els of grain, nearly a million pounds of butter, and thousands of cattle and swine, during the year just past. It is needless to say that money is plenty and circulates freely in that town in Illinois ; that the streets are handsome, well paved and lighted, ami lined with elegant residences; and that the savings banks are nu merous and in good condition And this tow n would serve as an Illustra tion of the condition of thousands in the Eastern and Western States. Tito spirit of New England is not con filioil to her "bleak hills,” as they are sometimes called. It has perme ated the greater (Kirtion of tlie Uni ted IStutes. There is no good reason why ugri culture and mum duet tire should not go hand in hand thoroughout the South its in the West; no reason why the Southern people should not see their villages thrive and blossom on tbe profits accruing from small man ufacturers, hist as those in New Eng land do. The Mouth only needs to learn thoroughly the lesson which the example of the Illinois town mly teach it. There are hundreds of ahhentabllshed settlements in many of the Southern States which , possess finer facilities for manufac turing than many of the most pros perous towns in the East and West. There is better water-power uud a greater supply of it, there is cheap labor in abundance; there are kindly skies and fruitful soils, which make food cheap and life agreeable, in j greater measure than in higher latitudes. Jet the Southern commu nity rulquius moneyless, discontent ed, forlorn; their young won leave] in desjMiir, and migrate to "fresh fields and tUMtures new;” and they fall into greater decay year by year. They do not start manufacturing en terprises “because they have no eap yet they will find that the greater number of establishments in the Eastern ami Western cities are smalt, arid were started by Individu als, or in many eases by families, on almost no capital at all. A person begins by making a few plows for his, jjjtjghbora; year by year his business kcs>uiup larger proportions, until lie lias ii ma'mmoth factory anil sup lilies a dozen counties. An tndustri bfis funnily, desirous of getting on in ; the world, makes clothing, or gloves, pr hats. The profits of one year are used to enlarge the business, arid in a few twelvemonths another ' manufno tory” is established. This is the way J>roß|>erons towns are built up. Tt is liocause each one works, turning his ot her industry into a hundred different ehauuelo for the common weal, that ijiich thriving oommiinities as the II fifiqis tiiwn are springing up by scores and hundreds in the North. It is very easy to build up just such commu nities in the South. The planters and , farmers of the Southern States need but tpvo things to insure their mate rial prosperity; these are ioenl man ijfactures, that they may not be com : , t s<Jlud to aw‘i 4*l tljuir money thou sands of miles a way out of their see tion for every article which they need ; ] and the production on their own soil of the myriad articles of food, which they now laboriously get from the North and West, But local pianufae turee are their prime need ; and they must learn to create small enter prises, just tvs they were created in tha liliiitiis town, by individual thrift ami indus try.

A short time since a well-known gentleman of Mobile received three tickets in afiiit Concert Association, and a circular informing him that the three tickets were sold for $2. and Unit he could sell two of them for tlmbnmtittip: ami keep tin- other for life tt'jaiye. or keep all of them and remit the *2.
