This was said generally from prejudiee, though some- times from ignorance, and for the purpose, of exciting and pandering to sectional jealousy or hostility. Up to the time of the war, an@ even after it commenced, such statements were reiterated by those who knew or oaght to have known-better. The consequence was that the mass of the people of the North were deceived and remained ignorant of the Southerm portion of our country. Intelligent and unprejndiced travellers, as well as the people of the South; were surprised at these misrepresentations, and wondered how their fellow citizens could be so blinded. Such false or distorted views were impressed to great extent upon Europe also. The obnoxious institution of slavery proved a bar at the same time both to investi- gation and enterprise. It was like a Chinese wall, having the effect of shutting out immigra- tion and enterprise. The prejudices in favor of slavery on one side and against iton the other made the South almost as excluded and unknown to the rest of the world as China is, The North lost sight of frets as to the vast and valuable productions of that acction, of its immense territory, rich and teem'ng soil, ex- traordinary variety of its products and its attractive climate, and the people of the South smiled in indolent contentment with their coun- try and themselves at this real or feigned igno- Trance, But the war just concluded is producing a great revolution in’ men’s ideas as well as in our public affairs and domestic life. General Grant, speaking of the Southern people in the concluding words of his admirable report on the last year of the war, says their “manhood drew forth herculean deods of valor.” He might have said, too, that the war drew forth from their country extraordinary and _unex- pected resources. _Few on this side believed that a people wifo-had appeared to be depend- ent upon Northern. and foreign supplies could carry on the war two years when cut off from them, We were all: astonished at the re- sources they developed. They seecumbed not from the want. of natural capabitities in tte country, but from. the destruetion of these by an overwhelming antagonist, by the colossal power of the North, by the terrible drain upon a limited population to supply the armies, and by mixmaitegement of their finances and the conduct of the war. Tho war unde- ceived the world in a menswre as to the re- sources of the South. Still they are not yet well understood; the Southern people them selves have not fully comprehended them.’ - We can do no more within the limits of this article than advert to or take ea glance at this magnificent region. of: our country. From the fortieth degree of latitude: to the. tropics, and from the Atlantic: to. Mexico, embracing than. France, Germany, in, Spain and Italy combined, and with every variety of soil, climate aad productions, it is capable of sustain- ing a population of a hundred and fifty millions. It is, beyond'all' denbt, the best por- tion of the American continent. The hardy grains grow in all the: States on the northern border and through the high lands of the Alle- ghanles to the border of Alabama. And where is there better wheat or four than Virginia and some other parts of the South produce? The flour is noted for its fine quality in the markets of the world. In one part all the fruits and vegetables of the temperate zone grow abundantly, and ia another flourish the orange, banana, pine apple and other fruits of the semi-tropiea} or tropical gone. Nature has given the South a monopoly of the most valu- able productions that enter into the commerce of the world. Nowhére ean auch tobacco he produced; there is no rice superior if equal to that of Sonth Carolina, and as to cotton—-that wonderful product which clothes mankind, em- ploys millions of human beings in its manufac- ture, builds great cities, creates untold wealth and spreads the sails of commerce over every ocean—that is a monopoly of the South. . True,. cotton is grown in India, Egypt and some other countries, but not our long’ siaple Amerivan cotton, which is the cotton of commerce, an@ which is an article of prime necessity in mann- factures, The Gulf stream which sweeps along our Southern coast raises the waters of the Gulf and Atlantic in clouds and spreads, them over the favored Sonth, dropping rain im jusi such showers as the cotton plant needs. ‘Too much rain, as in the rainy season of moat tropi- cal countries, would not do, nor too long con- tinned drouth, for this delicate angual plant. Nature has given it here in the alternate showers and hot sunshine just the right climate, As the same conditions of soil and climate are not found elsewhere to produce this fine long staple cotton, it ie clear the Southern States must continue to he of the of Graniteville, South Carolina)-mear Angusta, Georgia, was one of these. He Wullt-uw by his own energy @ cotton factory where there was water power, and in a few years'there was a thriving, handsome village, and he'wag a rioh man. Hundreds could. have done the same. ‘Now the old order of thingsis broken uy; slavery ig dead; sectional prejudice, which was the conse- quence of it, will die out also when the Senthern States aro restored; a new life is infused’ into the people through the shock of war ant’ the revolution that has been made; emigratioa and: capital wilf tend towards such a produetive and beautiful country, and in a few years we: shall see the’ water power used, the mines of gold, copper, iron ant eonl developed; the cst-- ton, sugar, rice and tobaeco lands worked with new vigor, anda complete industrial revolw-+ tion effected. This’ new era in Southern life and development only waits the political res- toration' of tho South and the consequent har- mony of the two sections of our common country, Tux Fenian Broraennoon—Wuat THE Fenians Snoury Do.—There appears to be no doubt about the fact that the Fenians have on hand a couple of millions-of dollars, and have been in the receipt of some twenty thousand weekly up tothe present tims.. This we have before stated: Now, what are the Fenians doing with all this money? What are they about in this crisia_in-their affairs?’ Instead of making some practical use of their money,.and even by mak- ing some practical demonstration against the power of: England, they are: wrangling about who shall holdithe money bags, and about this and that Lead: centre. Thi# is absurd. It does not matter’ the toss‘ofs copper who is at the head or the-tail:of the- business, _ Whatis demanded now is‘action. They should go, to the frontiers. The governmens of Canada is imbecile. The. capital; Ottawa City, can be easily taken by: a+ handful of: determined Fe- nians, who can: throw up: works and hold it against any. force-the-Canadiaw government can or is preparcé’ to- send; watit reinforced. What thrilling” effect such en echievement would have throughout Europe:. But one thing is certain: they-mast not continue at logger- heads and begin tokick up.arom here, or the United States government will’ be obliged to look into their affairs, The British government ‘has already declared war against them on the other side. . It has-sentenced one of their num- ber to twenty: years’ transportation, and has a tight held upon. many others of the Brother- hood. They mast now accept the gage of battle, go toOanada, take their mem and money with them, and fight it ont’ there. We say the war has commenced on the-othes side, now let the Fenians follow it up here-and hit England hard in a.teader spot—Canadm They must not keep foolimg about the-Irish republic in Union squarey where they.have been playing government as children play. with toys. They must bristle-up, show their teeth, square off and pitch in, right and left.. We hope they will not make-a fizzle of It as Kesanth did about the Hungarian:republic. Kossuth raised about two hundred; thousand dollars on Hungarian bonds, and when he left the country there is n tradition that he had invested the money in. the purchase. of a prodigious number. of; saddles, It i& probable, how- ever, that the only saddles he procured were those upon which he-rode so easily into the affeotions of our cradmlous people and cheated.them out of their: money, upon which he and hia tail-bearers are-pew living in clover in Eunope. We repeat,, the Fenians must go 10 work. They must, do something. They must prove whether thoits is a great and patri- olic mawement or a huge and infamous swin- dle:? They mnst stop, their palavering and qpaaredling about the funds, and show the . world that they are men of mettle and murcle; - otherwise they will staad stigmatized as worse them Kossuth and his followers, and their. organization be forawer stamped with scorn and hate by the true-hearted Irish people. Tue Coyreverats Loan 1x Loxpox—New Evin. penxce.—The Secretary of State has em affidavis, sworn to before: a notary in Londen by a for- mer clerk of Sebroeder & Co., the London, agents of the Confederate loan, om the subject of the naines of the English subseribers to that loan. Our readers will remember that tle list a8 published im the Heratp wes denounced, by the British papers as a forgery ; and nearly all the English subscribers published ivdignant letters intended to give the impression. that they were innocent of the charge ef corrupt motives then made. We showed at the time that these letters of denial, from that of Glad- stone down, were all so carefully and specious- ly framed that they did not absolutely deny what they seemed to deny; and we also showed how a man’s name in the lobby is put down for shares that he does not “purchase,” and utmost value for the production of it. Every one has heard of the rich sugar lands of Loui- siana, which are inexhaustible, and the soil of which never wears out. Then there are the fine wool-growing and stock-breeding regions of the several States and of the vast plains of Texar, that he only “owns” when he chooses to--which | is generally when the enterprise of which the shares are a part becomes a success. We | showed that the tactios applied in the lobby | to get a railroad bill through were applied in England by the rebel agents to help the con- the extent and value of which few have any idea, But besides all these explored and par- tially developed resources, there aro a number of others in the forests, in the bowels of the earth and in the streams. The water power which can be applied to the purpores of manu- facturing, where the raw material is right at the door, and in the most genial climate, is almost unlimited. From hundreds of streams that come down from the mountains, towards the Atlantic on one side and towards the Ohio, Mississippi and the Guif on the other, there are numberless fine mill sites. There is not one State without such. Of late years enterprising began to use this water power to a very Hmited extent. Georgia, perhaps, was fore- most in manufacturing industry; but sfill the Sonth was almost entirely an agricultural coun- try. The people themselves did not turn their federacy out of all its tight places. The affida- vit now in the hands of the government indi- cates that we were right in this, and demon- strates beyond cavil the authenticity of the list as copied from the original catalogue in the London office of the Confederate agenis, So the British press may prepare for another sen- wation. Crrv Reronm.--We understand that the com- ing Legislature will at once proceed to reform the government of this city by removing the Board of Supervisors, abolishing the various departments, and concentrating all power in the hands of a special commission of from ten to fifteen persons, to be composed of residents of this city and representatives from ofher sec- tions of the State; for New York fs an tmporial city, and the whole State ig interested ig her over Mexican affairs, The Chevalier Webly has shown’ by bis diplomatic correspondence that he knows how \to stand up manfully. for his own coutitry.- He has signalized his sojourn at Rio Janeire by the establishment of a steam Tine betweer this cowatry and Brazil,- and it is expected that lis brief stay at Pari will be productive of even niure beneficent results, In- @eod, he: antivipates: converting te Em- peror to the Mbn?oe Bwetrine, and brisging Kome with him Napeteon’s consent to withdraw , the French’ troops;- the i ané@ the whole expedition of invasion ftom Mexican soil.’ We ate'not one of those whe Believe that the Chevalier Webb cannot sc- comptish this becawse’ Minister Bigelow bas mot done it, Both are: good men, and beth have been editors; Imut: the Chevalier Webb: bas mere force of charaéter than Bigelow, axd* can bring a stronger. personal ihfluence to bear upon’ Napoleon.
