Stingin Reply to a Writer who Would Trample on the Old to Elevate the New. The Jackson, Miss.. Clarion, of recent ' il iff vml.liulira mi M-ti.-l.. l.v K V Vl'owl THE WHITE MAS OF THE NEW SOUTH. The above is the somewhat attractive title of an article in the March number of the Century Magazine, over the signa ture of "Wilbur Fisk Tillett, Vanderbilt University, Nashville, Tenn.," which merits attention, not simply because it is a misrepresentation of history, but that it emanates from a presumably represen tative man, in a Southern university. The author is apparently skirmishing to hrinr himsfdf within the iunru nf i lw rnlf : . " : . r which has recently givcu ueh a graceful I swell to the sails of Mr. H. W. Gradv. Unfortunately, however, the zeal of the Vanderbilt professor is scarcely tempered with the vein of native loyalty which tinges through the eloquence Of Georgia's popular editor. While disclaiming any purpose to depreciate "the chivalry-, the hospitality, the high sense of honor," etc., whieh characterized the Southern gentlemen of the "olden time,'' he yet placidly assumcsand distinctly announces that "the comparisons and contrasts in stituted must be very unfavorable to the white men of the old South." lie theu Hashes upon us the light of HIS MAIN PROPOSITION, that "it is the white man of the South, more than the black, that has been freed by the civil war." He speaks flippantly ot the South as consuming the lirst de cade after the war in "wearing the black garb of mourning for the lost cause," and voicing their only feelings through Fath er Hyatt's mournful melodies, lie char acterizes what he is pleased to term "the typical representative Southern man" be fore the war, as a "dependent idler," and says "they were little more than over seers of the blacks." He then kindly in forms its that everything which theues South" has done, and is doing in the de velopment of diversified industries aud material prosperity, iu EDUCATION AND LITERATURE, in morals and religion, is due to the "emancipation of the white man of the South lrora the bondage of idleness, which is inseparable from the ownership of slaves." He further assumes that the cotton crop of to-day, though 30 per cent larger than before I ne war, is raised on lesa acreage, which, he claims, is the re sult of a higher stale of cultivation inci dent to free white labor. Is there an in telligent white man in the South Aviio be lieves that its average agricultural condi tion now will, in any respect, compare favorably with that before the war in ex cellence and thoroughness? "The line breeds of cattle arc everywhere sup planting the inferior breeds;" the "raw uoned "horse, the scrub cow .and razor backed hogs arc fast disappearing." We venture the assertion that live counties in Mississippi, iu 18lk), could have furnish ed more hue blooded saddle, harness and draft horses than can now be found iu the entire State. I ONE SOUTHERN STATE could then have furnished more fine hogs than now exist in the entire cotton belt. While a very few farms in the South are now stocked with small herds of tine cat tle, yet, under the old system, thousands of planters had supplied themselves with superior cattle for their own use that ag gregated more in numbers and value than fche blooded stock ot the same territory at present. With a reckless indifference to evidence he swings the sweeping asser tion that all the manufacturing aud min ini enterprises of the South are the direet and exclusive fruits of the white man's deliverenec from the debilitating and be- uumbiu influence of slavery. This is entirely gratuitous, as there is no shadow of proof that the South, left undisturbed for the last quarter of a century, would not have brought all these, aud various other interests, to a higher PLANE OF DEVELOPMENT than they now occupy. The "cotton seed oil mill" is emphasized as one of the specilie results of the liberated energies ot the new South. Admit, for the sake of argument only, that the oil mill is the peculiar produet of the free South is the fact bcj'ond question that its presence uu uiai lis ui taciiu; lloyed blessing ? Be- anion; us is an uua fore the evolutionary features of the "un-1 fettered" Southern mind culminated in the "survival of the fittest," the -cotton planters returned their surplus seed to the soil, with a reproductive value of 25 .. .. j i 'i cents per bushel; now the negro renters and many white farmers sell to the mills for 8 or 10 cents per bushel, and the only additional return is the oil which comes back in the shape of Armour's lard, for which they pay ten cents per pound. He would have us believe --that the ma terial RESOURCES OF THE SOUTH have been developed only under free labor, aud yet as far back as 1828! Mr. Thomas II . Beuton, himself opposed to slavery, said In the United States Senate that the South furnished the basis of the Federal revenues, the value of her ex ports up to that time being $S00,O00,0O0; that the North, almost nothing. He further said that four slave States Vir ginia, the two Carolinas and Georgia paid three-fourths of the expenses of sup porting the government, while they re ceived nothing in return in the shape of government expenditures. Up to the civil Wiif, New England exported next to nothing, yet managed to grow rich out of the abundant prosperity of the South. This explains the significant remark of Mr. Lincolu : "If we let the South go where shall wc get our revenues?" Prof. TillcU, in attempting to portray what he term the blighting and de moralizing influence of slavery upon the minds, morals aud mergies of the old South, is guilty of i he gross absurdity of attributing to the CHARACTER OF WCALTH, influences which belong only to it de ' jcree of extent. Uhecharacter of a man's wealth has nothing to do witd nts naDits 4tt ' it i. oulv the amount wuicn ne possesses and w hich is subject to the dc- ntand of his fancies and appetites that may qualify his physical, moral or intel lectual capacities If the wealth of the old South,, ii, stead of being so largely in slaves had been invested in mines, mills. railroads, ships, stocks, bonds, etc., it ! would have engendered an equal ten- c admit all this, and more. We credit dency to leisure and luxury. No careful her with standard scientific and theologi observer will probably deny that among cal productions, of which the South has me xveauny ana tasUionable classes at the North, there is more idleness and extravagance, more folly and arrogance, more DISSIPATION' AND VICE, and a more impassable barrier between rich and poor than ever existed in the most opulent circle of slaveholders. For, however aristocratic they may have been, they were always courteous and refined. Iu the North the tendency to divide so ciety on financial lines has grown, with constantly increasing intensity, for more than a half century, until novit is almost definitely established. The very rich and very poor are as widely separated as Dives and Lazarus. In the old South, on the contrary, there were processes con ii . - . . . , , Dlil'.v oi r, evieeung grauiuu anu Meuuy uiiiusHju oi weaun, wnien pre served in a-.great measure, the houio geniety of society. Prominent among these agencies were the matrimonial alliances so often contracted between the families of the rich and poor. In fact, it was the rule for the active, intellectual, ambitious young men from the poorer families to " MAItkY THE DAUGHTERS of wealthy planters. Instead of attempt ing to restrain these alliances, they were generally encouraged by wealthy parents with a view to preserving the physical and mental vigor of their families with out sacrilicingheir estates. To employ a homely but impressive phrase, ''brains and money were constantly combining" to build up and preserve in the old South the finest society in the world, to the exclusion of the twin evils, the mil lionaire and Iie tramp. The line moral and intellectual organization of Southern children has heretofore been largely due to the fact thai their mothers wercexempt from the hardships of physical drudgery and the depressing effects of impending want. The poorest man in the South supported h.s family with comparative ease, because of the gently rising grada tions tn society and the univcsal liberali ty of the stronger toward the weaker. How is it in those countries so long freed from the "CUH6E OF SLAVERY," but where mechanical invention is pro gressively increasing the congestion of wealth and stimulating luxurious living among the rich, while it alarmingly swells the ranks of the hungry laborer, the socialist and the pauper. Take Massa chusetts, the '"hub" of free schools, free labor and boasted intelligence, as a fair representative. The average expenses of laboring men, who are the heads of families in Massachusetts, amounts to $751.42, while their earnings average $558.68. In other words, the working man jails shorl of a support for his family $195.6$, or 82 per ceut. How is this sup plemented? It is wrung from the toil of the mother and children, not through the discharge of the ordinary domestic duties of woman's sphere, but in the wages mill. One-third of the meagre support must be eked out by njothcraud tender children in order to kcej the WOLF AND SHERIFF from the door. In the great State of Massachusetts, the lirst to free her slaves and the last to surrender her traffic in them, only one'workingman to 100 owns a house, and 30,000 little children are the hirelings of the "nabobs." Professor Tillett furtner informs us that the new South is as much in advance of the old in morals and religion as in material pros perity. This is very gratifying intelli gence in view of the fact that as to the rank and lile of the Federal and the Con federate armies, the Church membership iu the Confederate army was 25 per cent, the larger. The same estimate would ap ply to the general officers and regimental aud company commanders of the two armies. Statistics show that in some dis tricts in the larger Northern cities, with a population of 20,000 children there are Sunday school accommodations for only 2,000. In some districts there isoniy one Protestant church to 5,000: in others, one to 10,000, one to 15,000, and many entire ly destitute "of enugen paivi leges. No wonder the police in Chicago ar rest in one year 7,2U0 boys and girls for petty crimes. What a mercy that these poor people have not been subjected, for i - - . - , , i three-quarters of a century to the dc- "- "' 7V vi " . ' - "V never reached the first stage of its germi nation in the old South. 1 he crowded houses which surge around? Rjbert G. Ingersoll, from Maine to Kansas, furnish their own comment. We would be dis tinctly understood as offering none of these statements in, defense of the moral right of slavery, or as regretting its aboli tion: neither would wc desire to draw any damaging or invidious comparisons or contrasts between Northern and South ern citizens ofthu, our common count; y. We are simply stating the facts of history in rebuttal of Prof. Tillett's unjust and unwarranted charges. THE SOUTHERN PEOI'LE are addressing themselves to living issues with no disposition to revive dead ones, except when their antecedents are as sailed, within their own borders, by the teachers of their children. Now, as to this intellectual inferiority of the old South, the memory of which so wrings the compassionate soul of the amiable professor. lie m ikes the fatal admission that "be'ore the war the South had more boys in college than the North," but begs the question by pleading that "they only went to school because it was the thing to do." A grave charge against the Southern youth, on which we challenge him to the proof. Here is the quality, the sum and substance of his testimony. He supposes that "of all the books writ ten by AMERICAN AUTHORS, 90 pr cent come from north of Mason and Dixon's line," and then asks, "what is the answer to this discreditable fact? ' Slavery, he reiterates, "the curse of jjlavery with its slothful and euervating influence-, rested like an incubus upon the intellect of the wmte man of the South." Verv well. We c j iice.L' that written neurlv all the the N. th has works of fiction, 90 per cent of which are worthless and 75 per cent are actually pernicious. She has furnished a great many possibly good school books, a little valuable history, and a. crent deal of doubtful accuracy and questionable value been among her most APPRECIATIVE STUDENTS, feeling and acknowledging a common ! pride in the merits and reputation of her I uuiuors. ivn yei we announce only what is susceptible of demonstration. when we unhesitatingly declare that for more than 100 years, the grandnnrch of the American intellect has been projected from Southern brains. From the early days of the colonies, two columns of physical and ideal forces have moved steadily from east to west across the con tinent, divided mainly by the 38th or 39th line of latitude; each animated by respec tive and peculiar Inspirations, and each com piemen tal to the other. In the northern division we have ever found a sleepless, restless, ceaseless struggle for sectional, local and individual supremacy, marked at every step b the fierce con flict between the victims of WANT AND THE DESPOTISM of capital a stern and native practicality born of indigenous necessity; while along the parallels of the "Old South" has roll ed the deep and majestic tide of national thought, national sentiment and national action. The south has been the land of "enter prises of great pith and moment," rather than the nursery of scribblers. She has made history for others to write and sell. She has carved with the sword the path way of the pen, ami made America the stronghold of the Anglo-Saxon race. The first resolution declaring the light of the colonies to be "free and independent" were introduced into a Southern Legisla ture by a Southern man. The first reso lutions to the same effect were presented in the colonial Congress by another Southern man, and took form and con sistence, in i he declaration of inpepend encc under the matchless genius of still another Southern man. A Southern man led THE PATRIOTIC ARMIES to victory and established the possibilities of the proudest nation on the earth. A Southern man was prime mover of the convention that framed the constitution. When the government was created its organic laws were still an unexplained book, a ponderus oar iu unskilled hands. It was left for the greatest legal mind of the age, a Southern Chief Justice, to an alyze and stamp upon it the construction which will be accepted as long as the constitution is respected. A Southern man framed the ordinance for the organ ization and government of the great northwestern territory; an instrument second in importance only to the consti tution of the United States. A Southern man was the author of the republican theory of popular theory of popular government which prevailed during the sixty years of our greatest prosperity, peace and happiness. Of the fifteen Pres idents of the Continental Congress, eight were FEOM SLAVE STATES. From 1739 to 1S53, a period of sixty-four years, embracing eleven administrations, the slave States furnished eight Presidents whose term of service covered fifty-two years. During the same time the free States furnished three Presidents whose combined terms covered twelve years. Of the twelve Vice Presidents, four were from slave States. Uunder these eleven administrations, the slave States supplied fourteen secretaries of Stale, eleven sec retaries of war, six secretaries of the treasury, nine secretaries of the navy and eight postmaster generals. Of fifty-five presidents pro tern, of the Senate thirty nine were from slave States. Of t hirty-onc speakers of the House, tweiity-two were from slave Slates. Of live Chief Justices, two, and the only two of great eminence, were from slave States. Of twenty-nine attorney generals, fourteen were from slave States. Of 185 public ministers to foreign countries ninety-nine were from slave States. Without going further into exhasutive details, tor winch material is ABUNDANT AND OVERWHELMING, we aflirm, without fear of decent denial, that along the lines of these fifty-two years, are ranged all the broad and lofty conceptions of Statesmanship, all the bold aud fruitful enterprises, all the grand and comprehensive achievements from which have evolved the pride, the power and the glory of the American 1 eople. The w ar of 1812 was scarcely less impor tant in its results than the war of inde pendence. The one left us an embryonic nation; the other developed a full grown power, wiping out the iusults of twenty five years, planting our flag upon the ocean and dissolving every doubt iu the minds of foreign powers that we were a government, de facto, and entitled to a place iu the front ranks of nations. This war, wc are told by a Northern historian "was a Southeru measure for the protec tion of Northern Interests;" yet it was inaugurated and pressed to a triumphant issue under the administration of a South ern slave-holder, supported by a "solid South," in the face of the almost solid opposition of THE FREE STATES. Who were the master spirits of that struggle? Such men as Clay, Calhoun, Monroe, Gruudy, Lowndes and Crawfoid; while only five Senators north of the Del aware voted to sustain it. In the gloom iest and most critical days of the conflict New England, who "writes all the books," was holding a secession convention, de nouncing the war and infringing with the emissaries of Great Britain As a conse quence, when England sent her powerful fleet to invest our ports, she exempted the ports of New England from the oper ations of the blockade. When the suc cess of the war bad established its popu larity in the free States, a Southern man formulated the financial policy which ex tinguished its immense debt in less than twenty years. Under these same "sloth ful aud demoralizing" auspices of slavery the great Indian wars were fought, their magnificent country OPENED TO WHITE SETTLEMENT, the savages removed and measures adopt cd for their civilization. Florida was acquired from Spaiu; and from France thai vast doiu.ii n, ttic Loueiuua territory, comprising more ih.tn 1.0J0,000 square miles, greater in extent and richer in re- sources than the whole territory f the then existing Uuited States, and giving us the sole ownership of the Mississippi -. ,...,,, :., ........ . ii if rr,i I iiwuiinsuuireiu uie kiii i. mis one achievement, conceived and accom plished by a Southern President, through the supreme skill and courage of a South ern diplomatist, overshadows in its stu pendous proportions, outweighs in the vastness of its results every national measure presented by Northern states manship and secured by Northern enter' prise since the landing at Plymoth Kock. It was this far-rcaehinjr stroke of SOUTHERN DIPLOMACY which elicited from the great Napolean the prophetic remark that "the acquisi tion of Lousiana forever strengthens the power of the United States and gives to England a maritime rival that will some day humble her pride." The war for the independence of Texas and the adminis tration of its government by its Southern Presidents was another manifestation of the "slothful energies" of these "depend ent idlers" and "overseers." The war with Mexico and the annexation of Texas were assailed bv the free States with the same vehement opposition which they had presented to the last war with England; but a Southern President again held the helm; the pluck and patriotism of the "gentlemen idlers" once more prevailed. and Columbia took into her embrace THE YOUNG GIANT of whom it has been graphically said: "If Texas was laid on the face of Europe, with its head resting on the mountains of Norway, one palm covering Loudon and the other Warsaw, it would stretch across the kingdon of Denmark, across the em pire of Germany and Austria, across northern Italy and bathe its feet in the Mediterranean." It is capable of pro ducing 12,000,000 bales of cotton, and still have a cattle range left larger than the whole of New York. Tim war, prosecu ted by the enervated, non-progressive "overseers," gathered into the national domain, also, the territory of New Mex ico, itself larger than the kingdom of Oreat Britain and Ireland; extended the national boundary to the Pacific and opened to the world the "golden gates" of California. Mr. Tillett, iu his haste to elevate the new South, BY DEGRADING THE OLD, that most of the representative forgets men of the new South, her Senators, Con gressmen, cabinet olhcers, Governors, judges, jurists, leadingjournalists, college professors, eminent divines aud success ful men of business in every line were born and educated under the "curse of slavery." There is no new South. The term is a misnomer and a myth. It is simply a phrase costume in" which old prejudices masquerade through modern prints, seeking to pervert the education of Southern children into the con viction that their aucestors if not criminals, were little more than a race of " idlers," blunderers, blockheads and failures. But the present or future generations will never find reason to be ashamed of the brain work of the old South. The literature left us by Wash ington, Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, Cal houn. Stephens and Jefferson Davis, will stand as monuments of wisdom and MODELS OF CLASSIC LORE, when the mountains of literary lumber, accumulated by professional book-makers, shall have crumbled into the dust of ages. In all the departments of govern ment, civil and military, iu law, literature and science w hile the South has boasted no great army of writers, whose wits are the price of bread, she has furnished the minds productive of the grandest results to the country and the world. When a prolific little animal, vain of her numerous progeny, twitted the lioness for nursing only one, the noble beast replied, "only one. but it is a lion." It is the character and the magnitude of thought, and not the abundance of thinking, that cut the mighty and everlasting channels where flow the living streams of mind and pro gress. The naval and military cadets from the South have had no equals as a elas. The culture and intelligence in the ranks of TnU CONFEDERATE ARMY were unsurpassed by that of any of the great armies of the world, hence the exalted esprit dc corps which so often rendered the Confederate soldiers more than equal to an odds of three to one iu the splendid columns of the Federal army. Where is there an example of modern seamanship that will compare with the daring and brilliant cruise of Admiral Sc mines, who, with a sin gle ship swept from the seas the com merce of a great nation? Who was it that mapped the geography of the seas, explained their secret phenomena, blazed out on the trackless ocean the shortest and safest highways for the commerce of the world, by his "Wind and Current Charts' and his Sailing Directions," sav ing to the United States millions of dol lars annually on outgoing tonnage alone? Matthew F. .Maury, a Southern man to the core, and by common couscnt of all nations accorded the proud title of " PHILOSOPHER OF THE SEAS." Where is there a parallel to Auduborn, the naturalist aud ornithologist of the world? Chloroform, that has robbed the surgeon' knife of all its terrors, was first applied by a Southern physician. The Kwo greatest eras in surgery for the las two centuries, in fact two ot the greatest in surgical history, were marked by two Southern physicians, Ephraim McDowell of Kentucky and J. Marion Sims, of Ala bama. In their respective branches the surgery of the whole enlightened world recognizes an I follows the leadership if the famous men. B :-n Hill was the only man in America whj evir made 91,0 J04 000 as the direct product of his brain, in dependent of investment or speculation; iu addition to w hi h he gave fifteen of his best years to active public service. The only approximation to his record was that "of another Southern lawyer, Judah P. Benjamin, who went to Eng land after t he meridian of life and heeame the leading jurist in the land of great lawyers, having on his docket at one time half the appeal cases in the king dom. Doc.i this order of men spring from a racc of "idlers," whose aspiration and energies have been emasculated by the "curse of slavery' -ifcw8j3ory wearies wiJis&iKleratiou, and we only suggSAi th"at Sjuthru pareuts should look to lixc education of t heir boy and act with due ciivuji-pectioo when friouda of e.lujaiiou v..ac to u. b rtr: rt rifti in the shape of endowments for Southern universities, while children are to be taught to forget history and to blush for the character and deeds of their an- .

Bishop CrosgTove of Davenport, la., delivered a notable sermon in that city last Sunday on thp immortal tenden cies of the time through the breaking down of safeguards which onc pro tected girls and voting women. As a niouei ior me rising generation Hie Bis I j op pictured the old fashioned girl of thirty years ago in the following words: v She was a little girl until she was 25 years old and she helped her mother iu household duties. She had her hours of play and enjoyed herself to the full est extent. She never said to her mother, "I ean't I dont want to," for obedience was to her a cherished virtue. She arose in the morning w hen called, and we dont suppose she had her hair done up in papar and crimping pins or banged over the forehead. She did not 1 grow into a young lady and talk about I her beau before she was in her teens. and she did not read dime novels, nor was she fancying a hero in every plow boy she met. The old-fashioned girl was modest in her demeanor, and she never talked or used by-words. She did not laugh at old people nor make fun of cripples. She had respect for her elders and was not above listening to words of counsel from those older than herself. She did not know as much as her mother, nor did she think her judg ment was as good as that of her grand mother. She did not ro to parties bv the time she was 10 3ears old, and stay till after midnight dancing with any chance young man who happened to be present. She went to bed in season, said her prayers, slept a sleep of inno cence and rose in the morning happy and capable of giving happiness. And now, it there be an old fashioned girl iu the world to-day may heaven bless and keep her and raise up others like her. Omaha Bee.

The heroism of private life, the slow, unchronitled martyrdoms of tbe heart who shall remember! Greater than any knightly dragon shiver is the man who overcomes an unholy passion, aets his foot upon it and stands serene and strong in virtue. Grander than Zen obia is the woman who struggles with a love that wrongs another or degrade luer own soul, and conquers. The young man, ardent and tender, who tnrns from the love of women, and buries deep in his heart the sweet in stinct of paternity, to devote himself to the cire and support of aged parents or an unfortunate sister, and whose long life was sacrificed in manly cheer fulness and majestic spirit, is a hero of the purest type the type of Charles Lamb. I have known out two such. The young woman who absolutely stays at home with father and mother in the old home while brothers antl sisters go forth to happy home of their own, who cheerfully lays, on the attar of filial duty the costliest of hu man sacrifices, of loving and being loved she is a heroine. I have known many sucn. The husband who goes home from every days routine aud the perplexing cares of business with cheerfnl smile and a loving word to his invalid wife, who brings not against her grievons sin of a long sickness, and reproaches her not for the cost of discomfort thereof, who sees in her languid eyes something dearer than girlish laughter, in the sad face and faded cheeks that blossom into smiles aud even blushes at his coming, something lovlier than the oldtime spring roses he is a Jiero. I think I know one such. The wife who bears her part in the burden of life even though it be the larger part bravely, cheerfully, never dreaming that she is a heroine, much less a martvr, who bears with the faults of a husband not altogether con genial, with loving patience and a large charity, and with noble decision hiding, them from the worldrwho makes no confidant and asks-no confidence, who refrains from brooding over shortcom ings in sympathy and sentiment, and f rom seeking perilous "affinities," who does not build high-tradegy on the sor rows of the inevitable, or feel an earth quake in every family jar, who sees her self indissolubly and eternally in their children she the wife in verytruth.in the inward as well as in the outward, is a heroine, though rather an unfash ionable type.
