Matrial Progre3s of the south, We hear much fromt the Southern jgurualr, and through the medium of pri ate correspondence, from well infvrme.d fritntla, tf t,iv rapid rest.ua-u tions of the S.>uth to busincs and coumlercial prosperity ; but one must step dowt to wttll street, among the noney kings, and into Church street, and Bond street, and Maiden lane, among the great wholesale nuerchants, to obtain practic-l proof of what that recuperation really means. "But for the Southern trade, tir," said a leading cointsioun merchant to the writer of this, one day last week, "business in New York to-day would be as staenant As in the dead of sum mer. Tito West is heels over bead and ears in debt, and is not only slow in buying, but backward in paying up old scores, while New Eglatnd and the Middle States are not in the market at all to any noticeable ex tent." We enquired what the South was chiefly purchasing. IIe said': "Almost everything that can be bought for cash-dry goods, hard ware, boots and shoes, drugs and medicines, .groceries, gutd not a few articles that are ordinarily classed under the head The Charleston, 8 ivannah, Mubile and Now Orleans deamers, during the fortnight past, hee~v all gono ont find roo muh ftelght as they could an omfor. Lojokinig into a leading floancial house, near,the earner of South a il Iiaa stject, we lipd abundant .e6rrobo rnative.evidence of'tis grtatifyitng as peo of the Southern situation fr'oam a purely, financial and stock-j ,bbing f>standpoint. "Cotton has turned qut so well, and comes to so profitable a maarket,",.eaid a bank president, "that the South to day has absolutely -more hard cash than we of the North.' -It .is that section that is just no0k naking about all the foreign exobenge in the amar ket of- a mercantile chtaracter, and from p resent appearantoes it will not be long before they will have wiped out whatever indebtedne:ss there; is -still standing against them hero, and dis enonmbored now of the disabilitiet inoident one way and another to the old system of labor, he ready to stari ~t off on a oareet of prosperity iwhiet other; sections of.the counr aywl envy."nyma l "Bleides thoir cottoa,"' ohimed it a bytaiidet, their a' has "taynet of it, IMar' 'Ia., JNu'e;f see' the' have kajsed a9TlfdIt311 shab of dollars.

The damage that. was worked i by the war, on niny of the lines, is being rapidly repaired, and Northern capitaliSts are steadily buying up the stock. ll, had no doubt that before long, some of their roads, the shares of which but lately would scarcely con mand ten cents on the dollar, wu.uld he on the same footing with the New York C,ntral, Mi~higlan Southern,an-l the Nor-,h:west. roads. "There is another element of future prosperity for that section,'' reiak ld a vetistl bhipinlater fa,m i)IIL ,treet, "which they would be very unwise not to develop." "What is that?" we exelaeimed. "Direct steam commruication with Dhe leading ports of the old world. [n the absence of that. the 'plmnters Ind merchants will always be at the mercy of Northern middlemen, and subject to enormous drawbacks upon he value of everything they may have to sell. Etgli.sh capital has already started two or three liues, and these ought to be supported. But, by and by, the S;uth should own her own s t e a m e r s , as no doubt she will. In that case, she will be ena bled, in good part, to do her own bank - ing, and, by dealing direct with her custoners, the <xchango whieh at present goos into the pockets of the Wall street brokers will be kept in her own." Sime one a-kcd, "How about the political situation and its be-ring upon those substantial proof of re covering prosperity ?" (entlemen," said an old merchant from Mobile, "the South does not at this moment care for the toss of a copper for the 'political situation,' as you call it. The R1adic:als have done all the mischief to her they are c~pa blo of, and they can do no more.

The great nmaj, rity of the Southern people, I think, are in favor of letting politics severely alone for the pre,ent. They are going to work to make big crops and get ioney, knowing full well that wlolv:r has the longest pnrse is going to be the governing class and the ruling section in this country for generations and genera t'o is to come." The philosophy of that last obser vltion seemed to inpress all pre entt; but further olloquy was out oil by soine confusion created by the an nouncenent of "another boud robbe ry" in South William streect, with a halt in the 5-20's and an upward movement in the gold room.-tn ,o pitan-RecCord1. SPAI.--Madrid, 27.-D rling the session of the Constituent Cories last evening the Prime Ministcr, Marshal Serrano, said that niot.wit.hsta,ding the retireneit.t of the late plrovi.sional government the members who conm posed it would still retain their seats in the CJortes. iIe stiated furibier that the policy of the government would be to follow thei programmre which the revolution had established. Every effort would ho made to disarm the attacks of the republicans by re ducing expenditures in all qua rtere and pursuing a liberal policy general ly. HIe regretted that the liberal reforms which had been contemplated for Cuba had been necessarily delay ed by reason of the insurrection there.

It is also suggestive to tI ,ont'iern people, who may (i cover in a sure way to pay off the debt of ri vengeo which every true Southern in is supposed to owe us, for all tie horr .lmiiniatiun of the negro war Sut p:>se the southern people should resolv with entire unanimity, to trade no mo witi the north--that they should ma, Baliimore, and Norfolk, and Savanna1 and other southern portQ, the depots c all their trade with Europe and tho o1 w.rldf "--what then would become of ' commerce ? Where will Boston, Ne. York, Philadelphia, and the lesser citie of the north, find the great staple c cominmorce, which have hitherto employ ed more than two-thirds of our shippin and our mechanical industry ? Tl Sout hi has only to estalblish a direc tradn with the Oh! World to itrip ti norih, f,r all time, of two.thiri of it commerce; and then hail of the ot h third may be diverted from the north < east. by a railroad comminication be tween Norfolk, Virginia, and the ere.n Vest. With suchl a railroal Norfol would be a far more natural and con vt nient entrepot for all theo Westerti an European trade than New Voik.

Stook-Ralsing in the South. Contrary to the law of political econ omy, that every industry must serk ed three channels in which are to be found . the favorable opportunities for profit, ie I the North and West have, hitherto, aV ulmost-tnonopolized the stock breeding id of the country. The climatic and natu ral advantages of the North can bear no comparison with those of the South in adaptation to this pursuit. The rigors r of a Northern winter; the large outlay d of time and labor nec?ssarv for provid . ing sktelter atid forage ; the brief pastur imo season in those latitudes; the much . larger amountof food consumed by stall fed than by pastured anmal-, and con. segaiontly the greater expense attending f the raising of the former-all these are d serious drawbacks in the way of stock r raising in the North. On tie other hand -the genial climate, and large unsettled tracts of pastuirage land in the South ; the immense canebrakes skirting the Southern rivers, from the Cape lPear to the Rio Grande, and affurding tie finest pasturage alike for hogs, and sheep and cattle ; the long continuancn e of the spring and summer seasons and the shortness and comparative mildness r of the winteri; all these circumstunces r cmbmi t0 iIfrd the most nnbounded facilities for the breeding of stoc'( of t every sort, and to any extent. Shel er ex k cept from the winter rain storns,is almost Iinnecessarv in the S.)nth. And so far as 3tall feeding is concerned, there can not be found m any country upon the globe so wonderfu ia ltixiriaace of the necessary veitable supply. The very grasses which have heretofore formed the most persi:u-.t"nt foe of the planter, . may be utilized in this respect to an almost unlimitect extent. Especiatlly is Ibis true of the 13a: muda grass, which, i left to itself, will in an nicredibly short space of time dtvelope into the richest known pasturage for sheep. Thero is every incentive for the South to avail herself of her great ad. vaningyes in this respect. As is always the caso where lboris diversified, the ben<-fits derived from stock raising would react upon other branches of in dst ry.
