"More labor, ,noro help," is the cry we hear from all quarters. Otr p)Lanteis in want of hands to go o successfully with the year's oroppi g bit waiting don't supply the do oien oy. Freedmen in this section of country are searce as laborers, prefer. riug to work their own patches ,of land, either bought or leased. 16 is next to impossible to recruit the ]a hiring forco iu New Orleans, or if a few are engaged to come out to the country, they demand higer wages and an advance, and even thon, nine times out of ten they prove worthless and are sent off, or run away of their own ac'!ord. As high as $1.50 a day is paid by some pianteis, and .not onough can be hud at that price. What phters can expect to make at soch pric.s for labor is beyond our knowledge.

We return to the popular fallacy, that Agriculture pays us bitter, and -that wO do not need manufaotories, therefore, at the South. 'Does it pov to have a large surplus population of white mon and women doing nothing comiparatively, ihen .they are emi ncr.tly suited to conducting manufac tories of outton yarns and coarse cot ton cloths I Does it pay to permit this work, which it is certain doubles ti value of the cotton orop, to be dono at the North, so that the North makes as much by this single item of its industry, as the South makes by the w hole of its Agricultural labor? If it doc. not. pay to spin our cotton, adding $120,000,000 to the worth of it, pray tol us, if it pays to giu it I WVhy not sond it unginned to the North ? Ginning is but one step in imnutfacturing. The truth is, Colun bu , Georgia, and several other places, aro beginning to aeo through this mnis erable fallacy that manufacturing don't pay at the South. They know that certain kinds of manufacturing can bo done, forthwith, here, much better. and far more cheaply, than any where olse. Henco new Factories are b built.

Wo aro informed, thait "sevoral of their largest North arni establishinonts have abandoned spinning cotton altogether, calculating to buy their yarns from the South." No I This fallacy about our being an Agricultural people is a most mis obievous ono. We arc BIn Agrieultu ral peolo, ard wvill over be so. Bunt we are destined to be both a mann facturing people and a mining people, because even nowv, in some brancehes of both mining and mranufacturing, we have natural advantages over all the world. - Why Not Let Well Enougla Alone. The Columbia Guarwdian, of Satur day last, renows its charge against the ladical regime of hypocritical pre tece~ with reference to favoring the education of the blacks and real hos tility to it. Now, in the first place, we do not believe tisi charge, for it is thrutgh Northern teachers, many of w homn arc in the Legislature, Jlillson, hiimself, for example, that they infiu. 01100 the black vote ; and, in the sec.. ond place, if it were true, why should wo complain ? Are the property. holders not sufliintly taxed already? Can they stand any further expendi ture than that already voted for this purposo ? Indeed, we are disposed to commend very heartily the fact that the Logislaturo appropriated but $50,000 beyond tile poll-tax for free school purposes this year. Its appro priat ion of thirty thousand dollars as salarios to County Sehool-Commis sioners, is quite another matter ; and if the Guardian would make its at tack there, we would gravely consider its suggestions. But we regret to see the attack made on the sincerity of tile Intention and the honesty of the motive. If there is anything that you can arouse vindictive fanaticism upon,, it is this 5same education question.. The present government has given $30,000 to Suhool Commissioners, but has forborne to burden the Stato be yond the appropriation of $50,OO thait has been made fromn time Imrwu morial. It Is well. iWhy taunt and hadger it Into imposing -an apptopriar tion of several hund red thousangdA lhrs rnext yeoar, if they oprgy -the'ee tI40't Whby solft well enob** Now 'w mui6tobt be considersd? defending the si.tV of salaried cot misioncra now prevailing, nor as ob jecting to poplar edueation. We only remomber that $3,000,000 of' State taxes have.,om, this year out of a very poor crop, and'deprecato any' further taxation for education at present. Don't attack the State gov droment there. Elke if these men beat us in the fall, they'll appropriate $300,000 as an arwer to the attack, and most likely waste a good portion of it.

Quieta non movere,- I, therefore, botter than bitter inivoetive ond agi. tation, arousing folings cf walio and revenge. Thomas Jetrerious use Inven tor of the Modern Pougla. The triumpb of intelleet- and vir tue belong to the world, and consti tute the common wealth and most pre. olous poseossion of mankind. Who does not feel human sympathy for such a man as Benjumin Franklin, in every reapect a thorough yankeo, because of his intellectual greatness, his praoti cal discovorio, and genuine love of country ? If any, then we have no admiration or sympathy for such. Who does not adiniro "the god-like Daniel" of Matuachusetts, even when stifling his convictions of truth at the dictato of policy, upon the anbject of "protection," for example I And why ? Because of the magnificent grandeur of his mind, whioh defend ed even error itself, by proclaining many of the principles of truth which are its speoifio antidotes. Equal pride should every American, North and South, and, indoed, every human being taku in ruoh a man as Thomas Jefferson. Through the Declaration of Independenoo, he will influence, for ages, the intellect of every educated being that shall speak the English language, in the sphere of social and political thought. But it is not generally known, or at least not sufficiently noted, that. Jefferson was the inventor of the modern plough, and by that achievement of his intel loot, has added millions upon millions to the wealth of the world. le was a Southerner, as Franklin was a North erner : but they both belong to the larger family of man, and to a larger Union than that of the States of Ametica-to the Federation of all the nations upon the face of the habi table globe. Thank God for such nien, no matter in n hat spot they first drew the breath of life I Fearful Leap of an Insane Woman. At Troy, N. Y., a few nights ago, a young womnn was sent to a pr ivate hospital, where, as the TFroy 77mesc relates, the following emar kable in cident occurred: "In a day or t wo a species of mild insanity developed itself, but by care ful treatment anud nursing this was materially modified. On Sunday night last the attack was renewed. In the middle of the night she arnso suddezmly andi made a rush for one of windows in the word, which was in the third story of the building, arnd attempted to jump out of it to the ground helow, a distane of thirty-s r feet. The attenidant observed laer just as she was making the fatal leap, and succeeded in catching her by the clothes and holdhkg on her until as sistance arrived from the mal~e de partment. 0cc of the male atten. dante caught her by the hands and at tempted to drawv her back into the windlow ; but his strength wvas unequal to the task, and the woman continued to sink lower and lower as the tenmsion upon his arms grew greator and great er each momnent,. 0 one could ron dher himi the least assistance. When his strength was wholly exhausted he waos compelled to let go of the girl, and a heavy thud from the earth be.. low choed painfully through all hearts, as it was suppoaed she could not make the5 famll without beinig kill ed. The attendants rushed down to the girl, expecting to find her lifeless below ; but fortunately in this they were mistaken, and~ with a little as sistance the poor woman was able to wyalk back to tier apartmea.ts. She was Ecarcely injured. W~hen asked the next day why she attempted to jump out of the window, who said she thought she heard her mother calling her. She is now imoroving rapidly.

It embraces no element of the the old l lin6 Demoo-aoy that may not be so quIesoed in:by the sturdiest old line Whig. The measures that produced I the conflicts of the past were either ' decided long ago, or else they have i disappeared from the minds of men. A wholly different series of issues ' have rome upon the country, and, recognizing certain exigenoies of the present, it is the mission of the Demo- I oratio party to address itself to them. c Hut for this it could not combine, as 8 it does, many of the best materials of all parties. But for this it could not represent, as It seeks to do, the conservatism - of the whole oauntry, which is simply a consolidation of all peaceful elements against the warlike f spirit of a still . progressing, revolu- V tionary and licentious craving for t agitation and change. A MASTODON's JAw.-Professor Shepard has in his possession at the laboratory of the Medical College, the lower jaw of a young male mastodon. It is about two feet long. From tihe fact that the teeth are not worn at all, as would be the case with an older o animal, it is judged that the former 2 possessor of this jaw was young and a male. It had two tusks in the lower jaw, about a foot long. This .jaw, was dug up.A- Phosphatoville, near the Efght-tiile Pimp, on the North. 1 eastera Railroad. Other portions of , the body, such as the ankle bones, ver. tebrm, &o., have been found, but unlike this jaw, were so decayed as to Ecqrcely bear handling. The cranium has not beep found. The I herbiferous beast which chewed with this jaw, although young, must have been between eleven and twelve feet high, and about eightoen feet long. e "There were giants in those days." Char.

Major General Richard Winn, of the Revolutionary Army. He was a native of our State, as will be seen by the annexed paragraphs : "There reposes in a secluded spot in the vicinity of Williamsport, in Maury county, the remains of Major General Richard Wien, of the Revo lutionary Army-a native of South Carolina. For nearly thirty years, in eontinu ous succossion, he represented the peo ple of his Disttiot in the Congress of the United States, and was a niember during the, memorable session of 1812, and voted for the declaration of war against Great Britaina. A few years thereafter, he removed with Hi8 fanily to Maury County, and died about the year 1817 or 1818. Since that time, most of the persons living in that neighborhood have died or removed, leaving but fow who are familiar with the character of the venerated dead. The writer of this article remem bers him well, and can truly say that but few men posaessed higher virtues and nobler qualities than did General Winn. Being the only revolutionary Gen eral ever buried in the county, ought not the citizens to manifeat soine suit able regard by placing over his grave a suitable monument to his memory to iiniuiate the place where rest the remains of the neglected dead 1" Orumnbs.

We feel justified in predicting that the whole line frota Knoxville to Walhalla will be con structed and in full operation in three years from this time. The importance of this road, forming as it does a link in the great trunk line from Cincin nati and Louisville to Charleston and the Southern A tlantic seaboard, can not be overestimated. .NOT FoR Jon.--A young man living down town, without the fear of his sweet-heart's parents before hi. eyes, undertook to "hook" the objet of his adoration from a secofhd .story window in her -father's houqe, on Fri day night last,says the Louisville Sun.
