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

a necessary tondency of virtue to

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.

may continue to flourish and find a

not be deludod. A former editor of
the Mercury, in 1844, predicted the

the South I" The "ruin and desola

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

and Drawers of water" for "our
Northern brethren 1'. We trust not.
We are numerous enough, if we will

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

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 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

rule the whole Yankee nation as we
ruled it in days gone by.
Even the last cotton crop has eleva

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

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

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.

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

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

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

build up the country with my life ;
but they won't come ; Europoans"ou't

By pursting a liberal policy to them
we can benefitthtu and they us. The

all be turned over to us, and emigrate
and be freedmen here."

On the 6th of August, 1866, a young

hat there might be a probability in

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.
Profess6r Charles U. 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. The idea of trusting to a few
hundred pounds to Ile noro of oven
the best fertilizers scims next to ab
surd to the Northern 4 European ag
rioulturist, who think nothing of on
riching the same area vith ton or fif
teen tons of i sound cobp>ost."

Syra.iuse, N. Y., says that she was afilieted
nearly a year. periodically, with derange
ment of the circulation the blood rushing

en congestion and death. This was attended
with the most intense pain in all parts of
the body. Failing to obtain relief from
any of the physicians whom she employed
from time to time, sho'was induced to try
the PLANTATION BITTERs, and to her sur
