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

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

A member of the Eri cliue elled
attention to another ically t,igniti.
cant fct, namely, that niny S uthern
railoads were ntow coining, for tho
firat, time, to he fiu.ted in this mtsr
ket. 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.

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
people among whom I live C:m11 see
that there are certain ugly problem;
that will havoo to be settled ere lonn,
bet een capita I and labor, among you
hero in the North and West, and they
calculate that will. aive the dennl
gogues ai, Wa,:ngtos1 as tnlh,fl s
ness as they can attend to, wit hout
working further malice on our section.
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

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.

From the Otato Capital,

'lTe Uniyer.ity bill will now become
a L.uw. As I preiieted in a former
lettar, the House rufued to concur in

O.t the question of agreeing to the
uotion of Senator Caiu, of Charles

iiend ment, Senator W right, of Ilau
art, (it -publicnu), and Senator Reid,
f t. tlerson, (i)emoorat), asked to

The bill from th Senate enabling

3ttme of its warmest friends were ab

tillions of dollars for certain railroad
rat erprises, including, among others,
celebrated Chatham. So far they
ave not succeeded, and it is to be
uled,'for the oreditof the State, as
oli as of the Republican party, that
iey uill nut.
It is to be hoped that the General

to members will earn the gratitude,

Oun CUnA NEWs.--Our telegraphic
espatches from Cuba, published to

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,

Ibis true of the 13a: muda grass, which,

Thero is every incentive for the
South to avail herself of her great ad.
vaningyes in this respect. As is always

ben<-fits derived from stock raising
would react upon other branches of in
