The North Eastern 11 aii.roan.?Wolearn#o<l yesterday, i>nyn tho Charleston Courier Iran tho President of the North Eastern Kailjr.rld Oompftoy, that the rond is now comple a Flo Southern Enterprise. J. Tho subjoined extract from the letter t written by liient. Mtiury fo the Southern Convention, contains souie facts which it would he well for the citizens of nil the 1 States to consider, especially those who arc ' continually harping upon the superior cni terprise of the free states. It exhibits ! the South in a plain and proper light : ' Tho Southern people have achieved great things ; and though it is common to taunt them lor a lack of that energy and enterprise which characterize the people of . the North, yet I have long beer, of the I opinion ihnt, if the balance could be fairly : struck, it would appear that the native energy, enterprise and industry ofthe South have contributed quite as largely as the i vaunted enterprise of (lie North has done to the national wealth of these United States. Both sections have done marvellously, and far be it from me to disparage either. I only wish to state a fact or two that I may induce you to take a view with me from my stand point, and see if those I wno uniw?:\na tncir name is legion?uufavorable contrasts between the North and South for clergy and enterprise, do not draw their conclusions more from the apparent than the real state of things. Let us throv; little Delaware, out of the question as belonging properly neither to the slavery or auti-slavery side of Mason and Dixon's line; we shall then see that we commenced our career as a nation with seven free and five slave States : that the five nricr. f ... V..Q . itial slave States, have, of their own ener' tries, almost entirely alone and unaided by foreign immigration, reclaimed, from the ( savage and tho wilderness, nine or other wealthy and flourishing prosperous States j I that the seven original free States have also reclaimed nine others no less wealthy, flourishing or prosperous; but to do this, the seven Northern States have had the ass bistance and capital which nearly the whole 3 foreign immigration has brought with it into the country. When Arkansas was c settled, it was done merely bv the transfer f of so mucli population from some other r slave States; but when Wisconsin was sctt tied, it was settled not merely by thetrans! fer of one population from the other free p States, but in a great measure by people . from beyond the sens, who brought, with them so much industry and wealth. Now if we could detect the value which the foreign immigration has added to the wealth of the North, and then if we could compare r the internal improvements of the South, and the value of the property of all sorts in the fourteen slave States, with the internal improvements and property in the sixteen free States?we should see that, nc wunuuj^ iu me population, me >>outii lias gone much farther than the industry of ' the North towards the creation of national * wealth. .But the achievements of the - South in its feats of industry and itnprovct ment, arc quietly made, and the press of ? the South has nut the multitudinous voicc which enables that of the north to inalW' r itself hcifRX?i..u *ho four quarters of the . globe." ? 5 Cdlture ofthk Bi.ackberky.?The Agri culturist has the following with reference to the Lowton blackberry : f " As a markpt crop, wo think this black. berry would nay well. They arc as easily cultivated as a corn crop, and need no second planting. Set them six or ci^ht feet apart, ' and the only caro required i? to koo>i out ! weed . and the excess of plants that continu. i ally spring up over the gifl^nd if not kept > i jut down. Mulching thqu^tound, that is, covering it over with a layer of straw or re1 fuse hay is useful. It would be well to work into the soil n rrood Kiinnlv nf vn?l mntmrA O I I V w" ^ 'w' v before setting out the plants. On poor soil, . an occasional top-dressing of manure may be givon. , "It will be noticed by those unskilled in blackVicrry culture, that, like the raspberry, fruit u only produced upon canes of the pre" vious summer's growth. The plants can be > set in autumn or spring, though wo much prefer autumn, as they got well rooted and i_ usually yield more new canes tbe following summor than if not set until spring. " The plants bear transplanting and car? riago well. Tho chief caution to bo observed is, to have the ground ready prepared before opening the plants, and set them at once, - without exposure to sun or wind. Thesamo remark applies to raspberries, and indeed to nil other plants. They appear, thus far, to 5 grow well on almost any soil. Somo recommend moist loam, or even clay. Tho best I growth and fruiting wo have seen is upon a , rocky side hill, though perhaps not hotter . than others <in a dark muck and peaty soil. .

We know his aversion to entering political life, but hope he will yield (this once) for tho good of his fellow citizens. Such at least is the desire of the writer after consultation with M i Mv VnrKim Tho English Indian Army. It uuty not be uninteresting to our readera to know that the Knglish Indian Army ut this time is the most gigantic garrison that the pages of history gives record of.? It is a subject full of thought and room for reflection. This army holds in subjugation 120,000,000 of British subjects,and 40,000,000 of dependent natives of ilindostan, of all manner of races, religions, and languages ?the latter, wo believe, amounting to twenty-five distinct tongnes besides an incalculable number of local dialects. This may be called its home service; it has likewise to deal > about 10,000,000 of Persians} 5,0' ,n of AlVghans, 1,500,000 Beloehe: , o.o00,000 of independent States in Ilindostan, and 5,000,000 of Burmese, with most of whom they have been at war within the last few years, to say nothing ot an occasional protcssional debate with China?whose population amounts to 400,000,000. The force tlint is to perforin this feat amounts to about 30,000 of all denominations, and its composition mitst henceforth be matter of deep reflection to all who feci that the sword is, in the last resort, the real tenure of England's Indian empire. 1)f the Queen's troops there are under 5)00,000 men ; of all the Europeans in the East India Company'**service, under 20,000, including officers attached to native rcgimotits; and they can hardly number less than 6,000, and probably exceed that number considerably. The natives in the Company's service amount to 210,000 and kiM>wr ti... r......... ?><>/? nnn i.. Ml Iia^ II1V- IVKU IVI VV iu III7UIII jV/V'l', III addition to this they have the contingent troops of the native States, commanded by British officers, and available, under treat* ies to the British Government, amounting to about <>2,000, of whom we learn on?? of the principal bodies, Sciudiah's the (Clwalior contingent,) 8,400 strong, has already moved to English assistance j and Tlolkar and the Raj h of Nagpore are bound by treaty to furnish contingents, the former of 8,000, and the latter of 1,000 horse; but these latter troops are not commanded by British officers. The disproportion between the Europeans and Asiatics jo tin; Company's service is striKing enougn, nut ovon tins uocs not represent the number of natives actually in arms in India. Scindiah, for instunuft, who has lately so loyally tendered his aid, furnishes the British with the H,100 men before alluded to ; but for his own purpose of government and police lie keeps on foot 22,000 men, and can in time of war produce 00,000 horsemen, 20,000 infantry, and a well-organized artillery, llolkar i? bound to furnish the English with 3,000 horse, but lie keens 30,000 and 4.000 in fimtrjr of liin own ; and altogether the personal military resources of the native princes of India do nut fall much short of 400,000 men, not. including the polico corps ot the quotas which the military ehiofn arc bound to furnish to their feudal superiors. No doubt when the military force of a native prince is not under the command ot European officers it is rarely rogulwrly paid, and will be generally found ill-organised and inefficient; but making every allowance for a superiority of race and discipline, it must be admitted that a somewhat formidable majority of nativi* bear the arms o( England and of their own chief in India. In addition to these forces at the command of England *111 India, she has during the present revolt sent out 827,000 troops of her regular army, many of whom figured before the walls of Sebnstopol.
