Delivered on Friday the 10th iubt., at the meeting of the Evan gelical Alli.tnce. The Nw York Tribune says : " Th last paper of the day, and one which wa listened to with a great deal of interest, wus that by the Uov. Moea D. Iloge, D. D , of Richmond,' Vs., upon 4The Mission Field of the South.' " We only present here several extracts : Photography has illustrated the nossibility of printing a volume as i r . . t arge as Homer B Iliad on a slip of )aDer no lurger than the palm of a mmer no ltiruer tuan m paim man's hand, but scieucre has discov ered no method of enabling a speak er to condense into tha limits of a few minutes the discussion of a theme requiring ma many hours for its proper elucidation. In attempt ing to portray " The Mission Field of the South, ' I can only do as the f)ainter who i compelled to make a lurried sketch of a wide landscape; he can only preeent it in outline, with a few touches which rather suggest its salient points than de -pict them. There is no time for filling in, or for minute delineation. If he cannot produce a completed picture, he must content himself with a c:irtooa. Speakers and writers vary in their enumeration of the States which constitute what we familiarly call "The South." I shall adopt Commodoit Maury's classification, which includes Virginia, i. Caroli n:t, South Carolina, Georgia, Flori da, Alabama, Misoiesippi,Louisiaiia, Texa.-'. Arkansas and Tennessee, with the Indian Territory and New Mexico, which ure classed with the Suuthern States because they lie cast of the Rocky Mountains, south of 3b- 30 .V latitude, and ' Uramci By ,ne rivers wnicn empty into the Oulf ot Mexico. borne ol the State ju-t enumerated are the largest in the Union one of them, ' Texa--, being equal in extent to all ' the Now Engi.'U'l States together, j a:. l nil the Middle States besides, : f;ii p.rhap-1 portion of one of (he ; Vt-'erri Statce in addition. I The eleven S utLcru States to- I ; h i r occupy an are.'t nearly equal j that of Austria, Prussia, France, I nu 1 Itnlv, with their combined pop ulation of more than 120,000,000. Such is the extent ot the missionary e'd of which I am u. ppeftk. But there is no moral interest attached to mi re territorial magnitude. The physical character of this great do main, however, has h nw." import ant coniu-ction with liat does .ive it peculiar interest in thr- regards ot the phil.Lnthropist utid Ohristain, fr it? natural advantages ar L 1 puch a much ultimately give it a popu- lation commensurate witn its v n 1 1 u v hr extent. One of the wonderful fea tures of the Atlantic 6ide of the North American Continent is that the great baein of the St. Lawrence is the only one which runs from went to east, while at right angles to it is the greater basin of the Mis sissippi, which, with all the other principal rivers of the the Union, flow more or less directly from north to south, widening and deepening as they nan, thus affording increased facilities for navigation &s they ap proach the ocean or the Gulf of Melico, through whose vraters, lav ingour southern coast, in a few years more, almost all the com mere of the world r-ill pass. But the commercial interests of the country demand artificial lines of canal and railway transverse to the natural lines of valley and rivers. One of these jreat avenues of trade fromr the iatenor to he ooaat was traced by the foresight of Washing ton more than a ntory tgo, when observing how the confluence of the Missouri and Ohio rivers with the ?Iississippi was midway between the northern lake and tht Gulf of Mex ico, and tbat th capes of the Ches apeake Bay were midway between Florida and Maine, ho projected the grand scheme of connecting the James River with the Kanawha, and thus establishing communica tion by water between the Missis, sippi, with il vast tributaries in the west, with the Atlantic Ocean on the east. The construction of this great national work is now one of the most intrt 6ting of all the en terprises which occupy public atten tion, and its completion will mark a new era in the commercial pros perity of the whole country. Such a connection between the West and East by water communi cation will be followed, or perhaps preceded, by another and greater THE PEOPLE." Constitution of N. C. OCTOBER 25, 1873. j by rail. For the natural laws of ! climate, distance, and production win ci'Luyci tue uuiinuuLuuii ui ttu other Atlantic and Pacific Railroad south of the 36th parallel of latitude one which will not require a snow plow driven by locomotives to open a track through formidable drifts the shortest, the cheapest, and least obstructed by frosts and storms, constituting another of those great coutineutal highways of commerce not only for North America, but for Europe and Asia, 6uch as Mac aulay tells us is always like a belt of gold across any country over which it passes. The Southern States, stretching down from the Potomac and Ohio Rivers, early chilled by autumnal frosts, to the Flerida Islands, within one degree of the torrid zone, from u J r a..:. t: 1 have been the producers of the : ator..rto LJrt r, whoso importance to the commerce oi tne world rendered them especially invaluable to this country, because the time came, and was not long ago, when they fr nished thre fourths of its entire domestic exports. It is true the system of lbor which produced these results has been changed by revolutioa, but the climate and soil can not be chged by revolution, and therefore the capacity for pro duction is undiminished. But in addition to the cotton, sugar, and other great staples, no States surpass the Southern in the certainty and abundance of their cereal products. To say nothing of the vast grain fields of Virginia, North Carolina, and Tennessee, the little sundy State of S. Carolina, I as long as the year 1850, produced , 6,000,000 bushels of corn more than all the New England States to I gether ; while Virginia, North j Carolina, and Tennessee produced i 300,000 bushels of corn in excess j of U that was grown in New York, j Pennsylvania. New Jersey, Ohio, j Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, M rt.im.ir'hiisi-'tt (Innnpfftitrut. to sav j QOthins of Hhode Island. The de- ; vdopment of the tuineral resources j f u c ,h h as just commenced, ; but so rich and inexhaustible are they, that they are now attracting I the attention of capitalists from every country represented in this Alliance. I do not speak vauntiugly of these i phvical characteristics of the i Southern States, tor there is no ! merit and nothing to be proud of in j the possession of these natural ad , vantages, enpeciilly as we have not improved them as we ought ; j and I only enumerate some of them I to show how vst a population may J be supported by a section of country so favored by nature, and how im portant it is (now that the over throw ot slavery has removed the greatest obstacle to emigration) to make every possible preparation for the spiritual good of the mil lions who are so soon to crowd our South land and render it tho most I popular part of the Union CHARACTERISTICS OF SOUTHERN PEOPLE. One is, that the people of the South are the most homogeneous on the continent. As yet, the foreign element is comparatively small, and the continental forms of unbelief d" not prevail among tkem. Speaking the same language, with common traditions and sympathies binding them together, of cturse the religi ous teacher obtains readier access to them than where different races, ; tongues, anil creeds are elements of disintegration in society. j Again : our native population is : not restless. It clings to the old ancestral home ; it also cleaves to j ancestral religions faith. It not ! -r1ir oLiiIoa Ku tho anil in win oh the uV -. 4..v. -; - . . UUSL ut Liouic luiciatui'io in iuiii- gled; it is loyal to the creeds as sociated with the memories cf pious parents. The novel and specious forms of error, which elsewhere have obliterated the old landmarks, find no welcome among theu; The irreliion of the South is rather the irrelit'iou of fccklessness, ignorance, of passion, thn of infidelity, or of crystallized forms of unbelief. There are many c Jinmunities in this land where the truth cau scarcely pone trate, so crusted over are incased by formulated systems of impiety. But no neighborhood in the South is inaccessible because of intrenched infidelity. Skepticalisma, which spread like enidem es in some quarters, were never popular there. And least of all are our people in fected by the scientific skeptical philosophy of the day, which tfierts such an unvarying uniformity in the operation of physical law as to leav no place in the universe of God for the 6uperBatural, and therefore denies miracle, discredits Droohecv. and silencesa prayer. It follows, therefore, that when the I S - r i . NO. 43. Christian teacher comes among us he does not have the double task of first storming some out-work of in fidelity before he attacks the centra' aversion to evangelical truth, and this greatly facilitates his labors among our people. CHBISTIAN CIVILIZATION OK THE SOUTH. I am tempted to enter into these details abuvit Southern character istics, because there is perhaps no part of the world so little under stood, no people about whom so many errooeoas impressions prevail. We have few opportunities for cor recting them. Our large cities are few and fax apart. Our newspapers are for the most part provincial. Distinguished foreigners visiting the United States find more to interest them north of the Potomac, and seldom derive their information of the South from personal observa tion. 1 we sought for vindication however, we would find it in an impartial and official source, bear ing a teatimoay to the Christian civilization bo emphatic as to be worth reproducing. One of the tables of the United States Census Reports gives the statistics of pauperism and crime in all the States of the Union. Freedom from both of these evils nnquestionably indicates a health ful and elevates! civilization. The Southern StaSes stand highest in the li in taoae respects. I con trast the tatiaents made in the Census Reports with regard to pauperism and crime in the New England States and in the South ern States, not for the purpose of making an invidious comparison, which I have no desire to do, but because the .New England States are generally spoken of as distin guished for thrifty indu?try and high moral character. 1. Paeperism prevails in the New EnfUal States in the pro portion of 44 to every 10,000 of the entire population. In the Soathern States the proportion is 13 to every 10,00 of the entire population. 2. In the nati-e New England population the ratio is 47 to every 10.D0Q. In the entire white population of tho South, na tive and foreign, the ratio is onlv 14 to 10,000. 3. In the foreign population of the New England States the ratio of pauperism is 35 to every 10,0X10. Among tho col ored people of the Southern States the ratio is 13 in every 10,000. 1. In the United States Census tables of criminal statistics we are told that in the entire New Eng land popalation the proportion is 11 in 10,000 ; in the entire South ern population it is 8 in 10,000. 2. In the native New England popu lation it is 8 in every 10,000. In the entire white population of the South, native and foreign, the pro portion of criminals i a little over 4 in every 10,000. 3, In the foreign New England population the proportion of criminals is 26 in every 10,000 ; in the colored ored population of the Southern States it ia about 13 in 10,000. Another surprising revelation which these Census tables make is in reference to church accommoda tions. 1. In the New England States there are 5,421 churches, with 2,203,607 sittings. Total population, 3,487,924. In the Southern States there are 18.000 churches, with sittings for 4,706, 037 persons. Total population, 9.4S7.386. 2. Or to state it m another form, in New England there is one church for 64B inhabitants. In the South there is one church for 518 inhabitants. Thus we see that if the ability of a people to provide for their own ! support without being dependent on charity : if reverence for law, if generous provission for the ordi nances of the gospel are constitu ent elements of a true Cui istian civilitation, then, when there is a call for a judgment by these criteria, the Southern States step to the front.

How Young Men Faill ' ''There is Alfred Sutton home with is family, to live on the' old fclks," said one neighbor to another. " It seems hard, after all his father has done to fit him for business, and the capital he inrested tQ atart,him so fairly. It is surprising he has turned out so poorly. He is' a steady young man, no bad habits, so far as I know ; he hs a good ed- ucation, and was always considered ' smart; but he doesn't succeed ia anything. I am told he has tried a number of different kinds of bus iness, and sunk money every time. -WThat can be the trouble with Al fred, I should like to know!" for I ' don't want my boy to take his turn." " Alfred is smart enough," said the other, "and has education enough, but he lacks the one ele--ment of success. He never wants to give a dollar's worth of work for a dollar of money, and there is no other way for a young man to make his fortune. He must dig, if he would get gold. All the men who have succeeded, honestly or dishon estly, in making money, have had to work, for it, the sharpers some times the hardest of all. Alfred wishes to see his train in motion and let it take care of itself, ifo wonder it soon ran off the track, and a smash-up was the result. Teach your boy, friend Archer, to work with a will when he does work. Give him play enough to make him healthy and happy, but let him learn early thut work i? the business of life. Patient, self-denying work is the price of success. Ease and . indolence eat away not capital only,, hut, worse still, all of man's nerve p wer. Present gratification tends to put off duty until to-morrow or next week. It is getting to, be a rare thing for the sons of rich men to die rich. Too often they squan der in a half-score years what their fathers were a life-time in accumu lating. I wish I coaltLring it in the ears of every aspiring young man that work, hard work, of head and hands, is the price of success.". Country Gentleman' Finding the Cable's Break. " How can a fatilt or. break, in a submarine cable be located by operators on shore ?" To this question, a writer in the Public Ledger gives the following clear and concise reply : A telegraph wire will transmit an electromagnetic wave or current," in proportion to the square of its diameter. The resistance to-the transmission of the wave diminishes in proportion as the square of the diameter fs increased. This is one law for the electrician. The second is that the resistance to the trans mission of the wave increases in direct proportion to the length of the wire or cable over, which it is sent. These two laws furnish the basis for the electrician's observa tions, and results. He knows, to start with, the precise amount of resistance that a mile of cable wiil oppose to the transmission of a given quantity of electro motive torce. He has delicate and wondor ful instruments, made by expert me chanics, that enable him to measure this with accuracy for half a mile, or for ten tnousand miles. Having this knowledge and these measuring iiiitruments, and having control of the quantity of electricity he is putting on the vf re, he is able to calculate to a nicefy" h'ov m vny uiiies.of the cable it rs transmitted over, ! efore encounters a greater rc- - i-tan :e tii 1 taat which is due to the letigth :im! diameter of "he cib!e itself.
