InLelligenoe not Brato Foroe, "he Mobile Tribune advocates the portation of Chiiamon, and Gene d Forrost the importation of Afri 4ns as freed men, to supply the South ith labor. But the tendency of either .uoasuro would be to degrade our so ,.al condition and weaken our politi ,l power. What the South needs is itolligenco, more oven than numbers, :iougst her laboring population. We have ever- accompanied our advocacy of immigration from Europe and the North by sa3ing that we needed, not largo and woithless population, but .4hillod laborers." There is a class .: people both in Europe and the .orthern States, that would prove to .. only an additional burden. Lot i not, then, import barbarians, but eiluo.to ourselves, educate our labor 2r, and encourage self-supporting and :':illfui worling men to come and set tio in our midst. We need none oth ars. L it our growth be slow, if need be, but let it be a healthy and vigo a>us growth to unexampled material power, and, as its certain consequence, o a recovery of political influence. 'o this end let the patriot bond his efforts. It is a peaceful and a sure re medy for our lato unparalleled Ca lamities. Solf-Rolianoo. In this world, God has ordered, that the strongest shall rule, and invaria bly power makes law. It is, indeed, also true, that the tendency of virtue is to make strong and to give power; but it, is a tendency often frustrated by cir cumstances. We believe that God both intended might to make right and right to makomight. Napoleon's .naxin that "Providence is on the :ile of the heaviest artillery," is noi, hon, a blasphemy, but an absolute .ruth. Let virtue, therefore, look isely mid well to her artillery. And the Latin maxim, "mayna rat veritas p:racvalebit, truth is mighty and tat prevail," is the expression of a necessary tondency of virtue to + the artillery on her side. r, the error of the Southern poo. in the part, has been, holding to latter bol;f superstitiously, that 1 such a way as tglose sight of the er truth altogether. Beanso we -w that we were historically and i:titutionally right, we thought we . ld succeed, and were content. with d intentions, instead of exacting dom of our Confederate leaders. , if the people had demanded wis. * a, instead of following folly, they *d hare achieved their indepen Woare committing the same old ir new, in a different form.

By eoxt summer, at least 28,000 spindles will be in operation. The people there are taking hold of matters in earnest and are not waiting for the action of Northern capitalists. All the money needed can be obtalined in that see tion. Education and Comfort for the Laboring Classes -Not More Barbarians. The cry of the Mobilo Tri'une for Chinamon, and of General Forrest for negroes, is a;togedher in the inter est of a larger supply of cotton for the world, and a smaller supply of the comforts of life for the people of the South. It would, if successful, lower the standard of comfort among the luboriug population of the South, which the experience of Ireland proves is a great nationil onlamity. We confess that the idea of a set of laborers as easily contented as brutes, and just about as capablo of virtue and religion, and no more, is exceed ingly painful and repulsive to our minds, and we lift up our voice in. solemn protest agair.st northern rapa city and greed, which are the fixcd facts of the situation that realy Iheraten the infliction of such a population upon us, that northern manufactures may continue to flourish and find a ready and profitable market. Let us not be deludod. A former editor of the Mercury, in 1844, predicted the result of puritan pharisaical philan throphy, and warned the South, that, if resistance irs poelponcd, until the North became, more and more, the more powerful section, that resistance might be in vain. HIe said: "Even now they are mustering their hosts; and with the trumpet of philanthropy to their glosing mouths, and singing psalms through their noses, they will come down upon us, with serried bay. onets, to seal the ruin and desolation of the South I" The "ruin and desola tion" has come ; but with it, a pros peel of educating a nobler class of workingmon in our midst. This is our only national consolation. And shall we ourselves out it up by the roots, and forever pursue such a poli cy as will make us "Hcwers of wood and Drawers of water" for "our Northern brethren 1'. We trust not. We are numerous enough, if we will educate ourselves. Let us bring those in only who can assist us in this patriotio duty. And first of all, let us so vary and improve our agriculture, as to food eomfwrtably our present popula tion, bofore we fling upon it the bur den of a population of inferior and alien racds of n:cn. Labor from China. The Southern people relieved of all responsibility in regard to govern mient and .Federal polities generally, have but one duty to perform outside of the sacred one of maintaining in tact the blood and instinots they in herit as a white race, and that is to put "money in their purse." We have done all that we could do by means of the mutilated political machinery in our hands towards re sisting the criminal design of Radical Whatever ha's been put upon us has been done at the point of the bayonet, and su.bmitting to such a process in our helpless condition waa not accept ing disgrace and degradation. Our record as a people is brighter to-day than it was even immediately after the war. Leaving the political qjuestions to work themselves out let us bend our energies to the task of developing our material resgrees of putting money in our pockets, for with money we can rule the whole Yankee nation as we ruled it in days gone by. Even the last cotton crop has eleva ted us immensely in the estimation of our "Northern brothron.' There have been more bob-tailed coats and small legged breeches on our streets this winter than ever be fore since the surrender of the Con federate armies. The articles of clothing in question wrap Yankee runners who scented the cotton crop from afar, and the smell of it has not only brought thorm among us but made *every mother's son of them either a Peace Demoerat or a citizen of Baltimore. T1here Is no bait like money. Suppose that the South had made in the year 1868, a cotton crop equal to crops before the war, how many more of our Northern brethren would be among us to-day, not only as Peace Democrats and Baltimtoreans but as ex-Confederate soldiers I And it is in our power to produce larger cotton crops than ever before. The cotton lands of the South are almost boundless. Probably not one fourth part of them ever have been brought under cultivation. All that is needed Is labor, and labor can be obtained--any quantity of cheap ands reliable labor. China is the country where it is to be obtained, and New Eogland ship owners are the men to bring It. l?ive hundred thousand dollara sub scribed by our people will give them soet ten thousand additional cotton hands in ting~ to hoe and pick out the next cottonf orop. The cleat profit mnede on that many hand. In one year will be sufficient to bring as many thore for the cotton crop of 1870. equal anOi ov,t .ezeeding her past crops, the Rou ej4ld again be a i94 or on t"6 ootl'eds For our par we would, if the So4 were left to be)self, prefer to see lr grow slo'iy add sure y on a white bk' sis, but l"adical-encroachments and greed forco'us'to look to the imnmedi. ato present and leave us little time to speculate concerning the future, A cotton crop of five or six millions of bales in the Souhi, being the eqiva" lout of gold. would knock the bottom out of the Yankee fluanclal boat, and relieve President Grant of the serious task he has undertaken of paying the "national debt."

EXTRAORDINARY VIEW.i oF GENE-. RAL POUREST.-A. corroapotident of the Louisville Courier-Journal writes as follows: A few days ago General Forrest and Major Minor Murriwether, E.igi neer of the levees on the Mississippi, wore my companions part of the way from New Orleans. As we passed through beautiful tracts of o"untry lying waste, I asked General Forrest how it could be repopulated. "With negroes," was his reply ; "they are the best laborers we ever had in the South. Tbo,e among us behaved during the war in such a manner that I shall always- respect them for it, and I would not have one of mine, nor have thorn enslaved if I could. My house servants," continu ed he, "are with inc yet in Memphis, and never would leave me." "But," said I, "you have had the name of being hard on that partiou lar-" "It is not true," said lie with ener. gy; "I have always felt kindly toward theum,and always treated them kindly, Evor1 the 'Fort Pillow maltsacro' was investigated, and the Federal officers to a man stated that I was not to blame. The fort never hauled down the flag; I out it down with my own hands, and did all I could to stop the firing." "But how, General," continued I, "are you to repopulate with negroes ?" "Get them from Africa," was his startling reply ; "they'l1 improve after getting bore; are the nost imi tative creature in the world, and if you put them in squads of ten, with one experienced leader in each qua-l, they will soon revive our country. I want Northmon to come bore, and would protect any man who- comes to build up the country with my life ; but they won't come ; Europoans"ou't come ; then, I say,"let's get Africans. By pursting a liberal policy to them we can benefitthtu and they us. The prisoners taken in war over there can all be turned over to us, and emigrate and be freedmen here." "I had an interest," continued he, "in the Wanderer, and we brought over four hundred ; only six per cent. died. They were very fond of grass hoppers and bugs, but' I taught them to eat cooked meat and they were as good niggers as any I ever had. Whlen prejudice gets over, our government will foster this sehemne. There is tie need of a war of races. 1 want to see the whole country prosper. It?s my country, .and I don't intend to give it up as long as I can do any thing to build it up. I am an Ameri can, and fromi the day.I surrendered have been for the United States." "S-rRUCK On." AT L AS.--AIl we mankind may now throw up their wa terfalls in a paroxysm of joy. Eliza beth Cady Stanton has talked about the rights of woman . George Francis Train has talked about the rights of woman. But it remained for our be loved President, U. S. Grant, to do something bold and practical towards the amelioration of woman's wrongs. Of course everybody has anticipa ted us : Mistress Van LOW has been appointed postmistress of Richmond. We don't know much about Mrs. Van Low. We remember that, when we were a Richmond boy, Mr. Van Lew was In the hard ware businefs on Main street, near the "old market ;" and that Mr. Van Lew had a splendid re sidence on Church Hill,'near tho his. torie St. John's Church. But we are degressing. What we Intended to announce was that the ad vocates of woman's rights had "struck oil" at last. Mrs. Van Lew has the postmistriss-ship (goodness I) of Rich mond, a good fat offlee, yielding sever al thousand a year. H-ow gratifying it must be to the editors of the Recvolauon to ,mealize that one woman has been found with capacity to manipulate the ,nals I In all the length and breadth of .these United States can another such In stance of woman-luck be found ? We think not. And the P'resident says that all this comes of Mrs.. Van Lpw's treachery to the people among mbom' she lived. Of course the Presldest calls It patriotismn;. bt, In this -@11. mate, treachery is the word. Mrs. Van Lew betrayed her own neighbors and friends: and at thi"late day, she receives her 'reward.- Wil. mfintgton Star. FAST IN MAssACHUET.-T ~ae The Governor of M*ssaohusetts hais ordered a fast.

In fact, it is these reports of Spanish suc'cesses which give us the first intima. t.ion of the appearance of the revolution. ists at now points. The last telegrams advise us of the appearance of an insur gent force at Macagua and the great ac tivity of others at Bolondron.

Ho said :. "The main-springi of' our prosperity had been slavery and foreign immigr.a tion. The former had stimulated the growth~ of cotton and made it an Ameri can monopoly, and so had built uip the nr.anufactnring and commercial interests of the North, nnd these hiad in turn1 invited and grown upon for ign immigra. tion.'

He was ittacked by a congestive chill, which erminated in his death the following aturday-the Htricken bride following is remains to their last resting place, :lothed in the same suit in which her 1oart had been made glad by becoming ns bride. On the following Angust (1866), the uecond bruthar of the same family camy o Americus for the same purpose which Md brought the deceased one year pre ious. On his way home, rejoicing in iappy anicipation of making the wor hv widow of his lust brothor his own >ride, he was oaught in a heavy rain, md arrived at home with his clothing hornngbly saturated, from which ho was taken with a congestive chill the nme evening, and died the evening )revious to the marriage, which was to mave taken plaice the following Sabbath. gfi:in, instead of lietenig to the merry inging of the marriage bells, the death ceIell was heard and a funeral pro, ession took the place of the marriage east.

HEAT FREAK OF NATURE.-In Dirshau, West Prussia, on the 31st of fanuary, a young and beautiful we. nan, the wife of a shepherd, was de ivered of a healthy girl, on the lower art of whose back is grown a tumor wice the size of a man's fist. In this umor, covered with a skin, is a.ehild, noving with great activity, whose vell formed limbs can be felt through be partition of the tumor. Its size orresponds to a fotus five or six nonths old. The father called on the )hairman of the Board of Health, Dr. .reuse, and requested hin to remove he excrescence with the footus. After iaving examined the child carefully, ie gave his opinion, however, as did 11 the physicians that were present, hat there might be a probability in his extraordinary case (the child soving actively in the excrescence) f bringing it to maturity. No phy ician could be justified to destroy his wonderful life ; it had to be pro eoted at all hasards. The newly born in has expectation to become a 2other in a few mouths-possessing reat btrength and beauty ; taking the aternal breast with great delight ; ud the marvelous footus, showing all he symptoms of a future life, will be he child of a virgin child if it comes o maturity.--Tranlafed from the 7erman, for the C'olumbia Pheni..

Direotions for Using B,hodes' Super Phosphate. Rhodes' Super-Phosphate can be used either broadcast or in the hill, or with the seed in tbe drill-in no instance is it to be ploughed under a sod, nor bedded upon. In case of re-planting or backward growth, Rhodes' applied as top-dress ing produces speedy growth-it does not fire. Exposure is of great advan tage, as it absorbs ammonia from the atmosphere, rain and dew-it being established that a large quantity of ammonia per acre is evolved during Sthe year from these sources. An application of two hundred pounds per acre is considered sufficient for crops, but experienced planters report three hundred pounds per acre as repaying the outlay-high manur ing, on a few acres, being the most de sirable under our changed labor sys tem.

Shepard, in a recent paper, says: "The planter will never obtain the beat offet of artifi eial fertliser. until he incorporates them lage. -i -..a~ss of sbe manure, vegetable \nuck and wood ashes.
