SOUTHERN jrKOSPBKITIT-IS IT
RBaIOB
IMAGINARY t ,
It ispleasant
to know that one of
the most fruitful topics of the day is
progress in the South. Every week
articles discussing
the industries of
the South come under our eye that
.are full of hope and encouragement.
We do not believe that the progress
is as great really as some enthusiastic
writers are disposed to take, but there
is nevertheless, veryj marked advance
meat and growth.! From time to
time we have essayed to show this
to giv,c at least glimpses of the de
velopment ' and 'progress in certain
important directions. V
The census shows
lation and ip prod
growth in popu-
actione, but .the
census fails to give the number df
mortgages and liens upon farms and
the indebtedness of the people. The
Star has already discussed with some
care this feature of the South; We
can not call it progress. It is a sys
tole m that is full of danger and will
eventuate in ruin if persisted in. But
for this bad feature in our system,
and the other reprehensible .plan of
making one or two crops and buying
all that is consumed or used from the
North, we might take up the song of
the enthusiast
ts and see all in the
brightest rose
colors. We cannot find
wisdom or
prudence or healthy
growth in a system of farming by
mortgaging the plantation or the
crop to be grown, and then relying on
the North for all j that ' is eaten, all
that is used in the way of imple
ments and furniture and vehicles.
The South is working this year to pay
-I partly for what it owes for last year.
It is buying food and fertilizers at an
enormous per cent, just because it
has not the ready cash and'bas been
improvident and unwise. , ?;
But in spitej of jthese drawbacks,
merely hinted at, not elaborated, the
South offers great inducements and
attractions to tne capitalists and the
men of small means who desire to
farm. Speaking of the South the
Baltimore Sun
the 15th inst.
says
"It ia beginning to be known that it is
commercially an untrodden country, pos
sessea or wonaeriul possibilities as to min
eral aDd agricultural wealth, attractive by
reason of its mild climate, regular seasons,
fertile soil, genial and manly population,
central location and easy of access to the
sea or to the inland centres of trade. Its
principal north: and south railroads pay
dividends, infringing the old rule that only
east and west roads pay. Nowhere in the
country is there more activity among rail
road men, whether in consolidating and
extending old roads or in building and
planning new ones." j :
f Whilst intelligent North Caroli
nians know something of the great
capabilities of our own State, and of
the immense .mineral deposits, these
are not known abroad to but few.
States, not comparable in the extent
of deposits and resources, hidden
and undeveloped 5 mostly as yet, j of
North Carolina, have made 'them
selves known, and have induced men
of large means to engage in their
development. There is a very en
couraging change within two or three
years in this State, and the prospect
now is that English and Northern
capitalists will make still larger in
vestments among oar people.; From
the Sun's interesting discussion we
copy another paragraph that views
the whole Southern field. It says:
"Kentucky is said to have larger coal
fields than Pennsylvania, and is far ahead
of all other States in the ; production of to
bacco. The coal, Iron and copper mines
of Virginia, Tennessee and North Carolina
are yet in the infancy of tbeir development.
The iron ore beds of Alabama are of vast
extent and of singular richness, with beds
or coal and Ifmestone necessary to working
close at band. It is claimed by gentlemen
who have visited these Alabama mines that
pig iron can be made! there at less cost than
elsewhere in this country. Birmingham, in
ibis State, a mere village a few years ago,
has grown into a considerable city, possess
ing numerous furnaces, one of which makes
about a hundred tons of pig metal daily.
The gold fields of Georgia and the phos
phates of South Carohua are sources of
wealth Comparatively untouched."
It is to the cotton -mills that the
South must I look for the largest in
crease in wealth. When the seven mil
lion bales of cotton are manufactured
mainly at home then will begin an
era Of SDlendld nrnsneritp r: Tlio
watch spring is worth twenty times
the ravr material out of which 'it i
fabricated. It is manufacturing bur
cottoo and, tobacco and woods and
irbn that is going to make the South
rich. ..The north , owes much of its

JIORB CQNCEURINO . MR. DAVIS.
The staff correspondent of the Phil
adelphia Press, MF, A. B.," has sup
plemented, bis elaborate ' interview
with ex-President Davis with some
additional facts concerning him, Mr,
Davis told him that' before! the war
he was in consultation with the Gov
ernor or : Mississippi endeavoring to
induce him ((to so frame bia message
as to prevent the Legislature from
anthorizing the call for a convention
to consider the question of secession."
Mr. Davis has been much misunder
stood and, consequently, ? much mis
represented as to his position in re
gard to secession. He was not per se
a secessionist. ' The Press correspon
dent says: ;- - - ' v" -
"Strong and aggressive as Jeff i Davis is,
he ia the bold enemy, more to be respected,
because always in the forefront, than the
silent foe who strikes at the Government un
der another name. The impressions left by
my visit to Mr. Davis show him in a better
light than many of our people will be will
ing to recogniza or can understand. Even
bis own people see the Vigorous, able man
with a will which does not permit dispute
or question; therefore you rarely see in the
States which be once governed those little
evidences of regard which are so lavishly
displayed upon the military chieftains 'of
the Rebellion.". j. . ,
Whatever Mr. "DaviiiV, personal
faults, and be has them,' of course, as
all mortals h aye, it cannot be . said
that he has any duplicity or selfish
ness ' or vascillating ? weakness. J A
strong, resolved, pertinacious, pure,
brave, open, earnest man he is ; such
a man as should be honored and ad
mired in an: age of corruption and
gil ded vice and ' wide-spread public
pr 38ti tulion. True to his convictions,
he has been indifferent o the igno
rant, malicious, persecuting assaults
of Northern editors and men, of the
quill, and has not stooped during the
sixteen years since he had a country
to Dandy epithets or expose the errors
of ; wilfully and blindly disposed
Southern men who could never ap
preciate the deep devotion of the
great Southron to - the - cause he
espoused finally, the singleness 'of his
purposes and aims, and the purity,
honesty and , high patriotism that
marked all he . did. ; Blunder, he
did, but Mr.1 Davis was' not the
stupendo s fajiore that it has
been the fashion among certain
schools of politicians in the Sonth
to accuse him of. : He blundered and
any other man in his place would
haye blundered. If Gen. Lee him
self had - been President he would
have offended some aspiring men, es
pecially some of the political Generals,
and he would have been abused by
certain papers. . - . : r ;
The Press correspondent eaya there
is a single declaration in the sebond
volume of the Davis11 work, that is
regarded as tbe kernel of the juvork"
In the portioDtf of i.tbe South he has

tains of Virginia for twenty yearA". :;-
- F. ; A; B thinks this is not the
only! passage that will provoke: much
discussion, lie gives this bint, that
seems to 'iudicate something to come
at onoe significant And important:
, "I ibink the evidence Is in hand that may
confound some of- Mr. Davia' iCritics. He
is evidently fortified with argument and
facts which make it reasonably fair1 to as
same' that the 'point which his Southern
critics have especially selected as the point
or asaault is not without a good defense.

If be is totally destitute of these

a man is deficient in moral qualities
he is a criminal in nature - if not in

He says such "idiocy" may coexist
with a high degree of intellectuality.
He says a "moral idiot" has no feel
ing of affection and no conscience.
He .. feels no disgrace. He thinks
Guiteau ought to be killed. He says:
(He should be killed not as a pun
ishment for his crime, for he is inca
pable of understanding that be has
committed a crime.': Bat he should
be killed as a protection to society

beast or a rattlesnake. - You would
not kill a mad dog in punishment for
being mad and biting some one you
would kill him in order to insure the

Obadiah Soas one of the alleged murderers
of Mr. Cruwell, of Georgia. - He visited the
county jail, saw the prisoner", and, after a
careful , examination, announced that -be
was not Obadiah Ross! The resemblance
between the two men is so close, however,
that the Bheriff says he does not wonder
that Officer Bunting arrested him for Robs;
that be would jhave been readily taken for
him in the neighborhood where the crime
wis committed, and that he. would.-have
arrested , him himself had he met hjm in
Georgia." The only difference between the
two men ' is in their height, the prisoner
being a little the taller. ' Both have
