The speaker hoped tbat much good results would follow from the labors of those who had, on this occasion, gathered together fioiri different States and from, different ' sections of the Union." The United Stales had been peculiarly, blessed in many re spects, and it only remained for our people, and particularly our mechanical, manufac turing and farming interests, t work to- gether more harmoniously,, advisedly and energetically to make this country all that &s most ardent friends could wish the pride of our own people and the admira tion and envy .of the world. And in this t-fTort the people of. the South and of the great West had much .to do, as upon their exertions depended the success of every interprise in this great country."- The South ' should depend to a much greater extent 1 upon her own resources if she evef wished j to become . prosperous and independent we needed. more manufactories of every character, a greater .diversity in our crops, and a more - harmonious working together f those interests which were so identical.

The main part of the decrease has arisen upon the following nine arti cles, all of them t leading staples of export: Flour, wheat, cotton, pe troleum, bacon and hams, spirits tur pentine, tallow, leaf tobacco and tim ber. V In the nine articles here alluded to ' there has been a decrease of $87,500,000. About 640,000,000 -j of the falling off has 'arisen . on wheat and flour, and, as is shown by the New ,York Bulletin, is traceable partly to the lower prices of those articles wheat having aver aged 30 cents lower than for the pre vious i ear arid partly also to the holding back of the grain in the in terior. The decrease of $32,800,000 in cotton is attributable almost en tirely to the reduced quantity export ed, the price bavins: averaged only half cent lower. In petroleum there is a decrease of $9,600,000, the re duction having arisen from a diminu tion of 20,000,000 gallons in the ex port and a decline in the average price of 3 3 4 cents per gallon. In bacon and : hams there is a decrease of nearly 30 per ( cenU in the quantity . shipped, while the re daction in the aggregate value is only 12J Ter cent., the price in this case having averaged higher than the previous year, and in . consequence limited the export. In tohawo we have a decrease of $5,000,000 in the value of the exports and of 64,500,000 ponnds in the quantity shipped, the price! having averaged 9 i5-8 cents ; against 11 1-3 cents the year previoa The principal articles that show an increase in vine vaiue or me exports are fcoru, furs, hides, hops, firearms, leather, oilcake, : cheese and lard. These facts show that the falling off in the exports - has been - mainly con nected with a diminution in the sur plus of products available for nhij- ment. h Spirits Turpentine T Heavy washing rains in Hills boro section last week. . : Mr. King, of Granville, married a Miss Loftest.
