THE FUTURE OF THE SOUTH.
... It is verr certain that the Southern people, how
' "over incompetent they were deemed fey the United
piaies vovenuneui 10 manage meir ponuciii auairs
and govern. the,ir own States immediately after the

ity themselves, and develop their own resources

fromthe first day the uth found herself in
a state of utter prostration from the adverse results
of the war; "we must have intelligent, skilled la
- bor imported into our midst!'' has been the un vary-
lug demand, from the time-Southern planters a-
roused themselves to the realization of the fact that
: sudden freedom had rendered negro-labor fitful and
tmreliabbs It would seem natural hat they should
r".? ve cherished only a very faint hope? indeed, of
havinglhe haiid of the capiudisf outstretched to
, vicm from the very people who had but just march-
dLout of their territory, after having devastated
theTf-fields, destroyed their work-shops, and burn
ed their factories.' That capital which had been so
.' actively employed in furnishing the back-bone of
the war of destruction and desolation, would have
.'" . been very ineonsislently diverted in rebuilding the
''.-.' manufacturing interests which it had caused to be
overtlirown. The years that liavo been "spent, in
-futile waiting for this improbable influx o foreign
capital would have been far more honorably and
usefully employed in utilizing thejsealth' and the
tangible elements of prosperity which a beneficent
God has placed at our disposal. For, Kilk as we

So far as the '"intelligent and skilled labor' is
.concerned, the Southern planter need never hope
for it until the South establishes direct and exten-'
five relations with European Couutiies, to promote
Immigration Into our borders, Why? Because
the. New England manufacturer, the Northern ini-
1 . porter, the Northern -fobber, and the Northern fac
tor, are all vitally concerned that such immigra
tion should be held aloof from us, and that bur con

citizens of the North have been quick to perceive
how completely the South has remained in their
power for the past eight years, aiul knowing the
Causes thereof, they wish those causes to remain
tn full force. It is a little strange that the South

it is still more strange that they should persist" in

have been extensively resorted to, advances have
"been gotten of factors, aud supplies: laid in, ,on

From. the AVashington (D. '.) Republican. ;
THE ttNITED STATES AND CUBA.
The value and importance of the trade and
commesce between United States and Cuba-is
but imperfectly undenstootVby the people und
statesmen of ttiia countn. The island of
Cuba comprises an area about equal to that
of the State of Kentucky, (37,680 square
miles,) ami lyiii rigni m me mouui oi me
inilf oOfexico, ii so contiguous -to the penin
sula of Florida and the ports of Key West,
New Orleans, Mobile, Charleston ami ' Savan
nah, as to induce the supposition that her
commercial relations with those ports would
be of the mot-t intimate aud prosperous char
acter. In return for her sugars, molasses,
coffee, tobacco, cigars and tropical fruits,
which we cor.sume so largely, it would be
onh' reasonable to suppose that we should sup
ply her with provisions and breadstuff, man
ufactures smd agricultural .implements, ma
chinery-' and supplies of every sort. But such
is not the case. 1 he interests ot tiie Cubans,
as well as those of the citizens of the United
States, would be greatly subserved by a closer
traffic and one more reciprocal in us character
Spam litus for man v v ears derived large re-
venues irom the traae oi euoa, tnrougn a
system if discriminating duties,- both on ex
ports aud. imports. Against this system our
Government has protested many a time, and
often without effect. It was the obstinacv. of
Hiain in this regard that provoked the several
filibustering organizations and expeditions
which have at various times received aid and
encouragement from the United States, and
which were desigued to effect the independ
ence or annexation of Cuba to the United
States.
-rfirT8.')9-,i;0, during the pendency of Mr.
Shdell s bill for the purchase ot the island,
benater H llson, ot Masiclmsett, jircscntctl
a proposition authorizing the President to
negotiate hir reciprocal tree trade between
Cuba and this country, similar to the then
existing arrangements with Camula and the
British North American colonies. The. sim
ple notice of the (proposed substitute was
enough to kill the bill. Mr. Slidell withdrew
it upon the-very first Opportunity. And the
war coining on so soon after Mr. Wilson never
saw any auspicious moment for the renewal
of his proposition.
By her system of duties, both differential
and. discriminating, Spain compels the Cubans
to pay tribute to the mother coffers. , She dis
criminates in favor of Spanish bottoms, and
makes a difference in favor of trade with
Spanish ports. For instance,, if American
goods destined from New Orleans to Havana
go direct there in American bottoms the
duties are enormous; but if they go from New
Orleans to Cadiz in American bottoms, and
then seek the Havana market in a Spauisl
vessel, the Cuban gets them cheaper than if
they went direct m American vessels
This abominable species ' of tax-gathering
we have been obliged to tuihmifc to until it has
absorbed more than five hundred millions cf
our California gold in the' last tweiitj--five
years. And why obliged? England has sup
plied Cuba with' laer manufactures by trans
shipment at Spanish ports in payment for the
raw produce that we have consumed so liber
ally. AY hy have we not sent our own man
ufactures? We could have doue so instead
of shipping our gold to England to pay for
those winch si

Indeed, we have scarcely dared to lay 'lie

the question must soon be determined as
to how long the neutrality laws shall protect,
a nation in maintaining the character of toll
rathcrcrs on an international highway, co
ercing tribute from all passers-by, and giving'
no equivalent whatever therefor. Cuba has'
no geographical relations of kinship to Spain
There are no natural commercial ties that
liad her to thp mother country. Her natural
commercial relations are v. ith Mexico and the
United States, and the other West, India

guinity are broken, and she is now held- as a
dependence of Spain by mere force, w ithout
love or interest on the part ot l.ulia. A care

DIRTY COTTON A LOSS TO EVEBY
. ' - . ' i'y. ONE. ' -; . - '
s One singular feature in this season's trade
demands the attention of our cotton producers.

It is questionable if the average cotton spinn
ing of England would not have Men w ithout
profit, or at an actual loss, on the prices ob
tainable for their mill products, if all grades
of American cotton had this season been priced
in their usual relation to middling, and that is
at 9d. But the crop of 1872-73 - w as an im
mense disproportion of low grade dusty cotton,
the creater part of w hich found its wav to Eng
land. Intrinsically worth to a spinner, who
could use it at all, nearly as much as middling,
except the loss by greater waste m use (pro
bably not more than d. per pound in average
of all that portion not very dusty) it Jjas been
very freely selling at 6d, to 7d., -while vt-ry
dusty bales sold down at 4d. 5id.; the better
s(ort-lt. to Sd., and the very dusty 3d. to 5d,
below the; price of middling.- At least one
half (an average of ld.) of this unusual dif
ference has been a clear profit to the spinners,
and as clearly a loss to tne. planters, except
in those cases where the planters' loss was di
vided with unfortunate exporters. In eveiy
crop there is some loss bv bad handling of the
cotton, in picking, ginning, and especially in
packing it for market. When the portion of
such cotton in-a crop is small, it will sell for
nearly its true relative value. But when that
portion is large, as in the crop of 187:1 73,
iiid the crop otherwise below the usual aver
ige grade,; the excessive -supply of low cotton,
lowevi'r good its staple, is' forced down to
competition w ith the poorest and cheapest cot
tons in market, such as those of Madras, BeuT
u and Bombav. I he depreciation" in Ens-
laud forces a corresponding depreciation of
low and. dirty cotton elsewhere at home, on
the Continent, or Avherever it finds use. It is
not extravagant to estimate a loss oftlld. per
pound on 1,(KX),(X)0 bales of the crop of 1872
by this .grave, misfortune or fault of the plant
ers, and that amounts to over $14,000,000 in
gold, I lie' entire loss by the depreciation
(onsequent upon the average low grade of the
cropland upon bad handlingand packing, the
greater part of which might have been pre
vented without material reduction in quanti
ty, has more likely been equat to 1,000,000
or more to the producers and 8,000,000 to ex
porters or others to w hom the cotton was first
sold, while the amount of reclamations for
mixed and dust-packed bales, aud the trouble
to factors and dealers caused thereby, are al
together something frightful to the contempla
tion of the latter class of merchants.

THE INDIANS.
Gcij. Custar after Them A Long Engage.
Ult'Illi
Mussf-LL SnELL Eivkr, Aug. 19,!
via Ft. Breuton, Montana, Aug 23
Tht abundant nrenaration whieh thei Yellow
stonp expedition made for the reception of the. In.
diais has been fully justified, Gen. Custar, with
Bloody Knife and a squadron ot cavalry uetauea oy
nl SltnttW tn rrn rvn enri-rill milps 4n advance of
the wagons andTlook up the l-oad, had gope about
ten miles ahead, when they halted anu picKexeu
their horses in the wood by the river to jwait for
thetraiuV Two hours afterwards six -Indians ap
peared eii the plain, and made demonstrations to
wards the camp. fJusta.r lismounted the! cavalry,
and a ine of skirmishers was thrown out. The
Indians were easily driven off, but .they proved to
be a decoy of a large party in the neighboring wood,'
waiting in ambush for the cavalry. ' Finding that
the ruse failed, the InKaus, to the n umbel" of 300,
boldly rode out and advanced on the ground "occu
pied by the cavalry. Gen. Custar had oiie squad
ron of 80 men under Capt.' Maylen. .The! men a-'
gain dismounted, and formed a line, and the Indi
ans also formed line in a -semi-curie: around the
cavalry, who had the river at their backs! Kajyd
firing was kept "up at a distance of 400 yards.
Gen. Custar 'deferred charging, hopihg the main
command would soon come up to assist ia captu
ring the Indians. After a three 'hours' hard fight
his ammunition gave out, and lie then" changed the.
Indians, who precipitately tled, dropping many of
tlieir equipments. After retreating several piles
tlioy took t( bad lands: One man slightly! wound
ed in the.arin, and one horse wounded formed the
extent of Cdstar's loss. J
AVhile the fight was going on sevveral jlndhiNS
left the war party in search' of stragglers "from tlie
train. Coihiiiijupon Dr. Hausenger, actikig sur
geon, and M;r. Bolarin, cavalry sutler, who were
less than i liiile from the coinniarid, they killed
them, and took their clothes-and valuabhjs. l'ri,
vate John Ball of the cavalry, while out Jmnting,
met a similar fate. "' . i
li this fight two Indians w ere kill cd, and seve
ral wounded. Thev lost several txmies. I .
Gen: .Stanly, directed Gen. C-ustar-to tike the
eavab'y, nuniliei-ing 450 men, and follo'w tlse trail,
and if possible overtake and punish the Indians.
Custar left on the Sth, and on the moruin'ci of Au
gust Dth was attacked by about tH)0 Indians, who
c.une down to the river and hied on his tamp.
1 lie nring was returned ior two or three I hours,
both parties using trees as covers. A party of 300
Indians-then crossed the liver above and below the
camp, and 4'iideavored to gain the -bluffs i in the
rear. The meiF were dismounted- and posted on
the bluff's, and received them bravely.' The In.lU
ans beyond the ridges kept- up a galHug. fire until
Custar ordered a charge. Tlie men then mounted
and pursued them hotly for tight miles. Just at
n;is nine .11.1111 came up anu openeil oil tile unmans
with avtiliei-y. A l'e-.v shots dispersed 'thejiii,- and
ended the nirht. L
This battle, which took place within three, miles
