Jnitiiigencer, IIOW TO GET CAPITAL. The Old Fable of Hercnlcs and the Wagoner. Si. Louis Republican. It is an universal belief in the South? ern States that the tiling they most need is capital: The people of those States are incessantly telling tlie world about their exhaustless stores of rudimentary wealth, and of the marvelous facility with which it can be worked up into actual, availa? ble wealth ; they have a great deal to say about the amount of low middling cotton at 14 cents a pound that can be raised on an acre of their bottom lauds, and of the amount of wheat that can be produced ou their uplands;. they boast that this cotton can be manufactured into yarns and cloth by means of ample water power in sight of the fields where it is raised, far more cheaply than it can be manufactured in New England; they tell us?and they prove the assertion?that pig iron can be made at Birmingham, Alabama, at Chat? tanooga, Tennessee, or at Home, Georgia, $S a ton cheaper than in Ohio and Penn? sylvania; they point with pardonablo pride to the fact that the cotton mills at Augusta, Georgia, and Graniteville, South Carolina, are working steadily along, and making good profits through the present depression of trade, while those of Massachusetts and New Hamp? shire are running at half time, and losing money at'that; and they declare that the mildness of their climate, and the greater cheapness of raw materials, labor and liv? ing with them demonstrate the superior manafacturing advantages of their region over the Northwest, where the laborer's family have to live on a Winter footing half the year. It is impossible to deny these statements, and, indeed, nobody at? tempts to deny them ; the world admits them.. Still, the capital which the fas? cinating picture is intended to invite does not come; Boston money clings to the granite ribs of New England, and re? fuses to migrate to Georgia where it can earn 10 to 15 per cent, more per annum ; every foot of Massachusetts water power is harnessed to machinery, while that of the Chattahoochee and James runs to waste; and the iron mongers of Pennsyl? vania continue to buy ore for $1 a ton and make it into iron at $14 a ton. The peo? ple of the South have tried agaiu and again to understand this mystery, with? out success, and they seem to have Bet tied down into the belief that capital, la borand trade in the North are too blind to take advantages of the opportunities that the South presents. But the matter is not so difficult of comprehension after all. It is the people of the South, not the cap? italists of the North who do not ap? preciate these boasted advantages. If there are such superior facilities for man? ufacturing in Georgia and Virginia, why don't the Georgians and Virginians avail themselves of them ? If there are for? tunes to be made in cotton spinning in Tennessee, why don't the Tennesseeans make them instead of inviting somebody else to come and get them ? It is the people of Alabama who ought to be mak? ing cheap iron at Birmingham, and the people of Tennessee who ought to be making cheap iron at Chattanooga and that vicinity. The reply to this is that the people of the South have not the capital. But why then do not the people ot the South go to work and make capital ? This in? cessant prayer to foreign capital to come into the South is like the prayer of the wagoner to Hercules to come and lift his wheels out of the mud. The strong god's answer was that he helped those only who helped themselves: if the wagoner would put his own shoulder to the wheel, Hercules would supply all the power he lacked. This answer embodies the whole Philosophy of the Southern situation, he South does not need capital as much as it needs willing labor?and this it has in abundance. Capital is nothiug but a concrete form of labor, now dead, and a very serviceable aud eflicient substitute for it is living labor. This, united with industry and economy, in the midst of euch favorable conditions as mild climate, cheap livingj accessible materials and water power, accumulates capital with surprising rapidity. A man who earus $100 a year more than he spends, per annum, makes that much capital every year; a hundred men in a community, doing the same thing, make $10,000 cap? ital in a single year; and a thousand men, working and saving at the same rate, and investing their earnings would in seven years produce $1,000,000?-a sum large enough to start ten manufacturing establishments. But it is said that the South has not enough of either labor or capital. This is a mistake. It cannot be said that there is a deficiency of labor in a community as long as there is any con? siderable number of idlers in it, and it is an undeniable fact that there are a great many idlers in the South?more, in ftct, than in those ^regions from which immi? gration is invited. There are, propor? tionately, more unemployed persons in Tennessee than in Connecticut; of the 425,999 males and females over 10 years of age in Connecticut, 193,000, or nearly half, are engaged in some occupation, 86,344 of them being engaged in mechan? ical and manufacturing vocation, while of the 890,000 males and females over 10 years of age in Tennessee, only 367,000 are engaged in occupation ; and ouly 29, 000 of these are employed in mechanical and manufneturing vocations. Of the 412,655 females over 10 years of ago in Virginia, only 75,000 are engaged in oc? cupations?and nearly all these are col? ored females; while "of the 209,000 fe? males over 10 years of age in Conncticut, 159,460 have occupations. These figures largely explain the abundance of capital in the New England Slates, and the scarcity of it in the South. If the South wants capital, it must work for it; it must earn more than it spends, and in? vest the surplus year after year in manu? factures. If 5,000 idle persons in Ten? nessee were to engage steadily and indus? triously in productive employment, it would be worth more to the State than the investment of $5,000,000 of Boston eapital in it. Besides, there is a magical sympathy in labor that attracts its kind from all quarters. If the people of Ten? nessee were to help themselves with all their might and main, they would be surprised to find how many others would eome to help them ; if all the idle per? sons in that State were to go to work, re? solved to make their own capital, thou? sands of intelligent laborers and millions of vigilant capital would flow in upon them, eager to seek employment and in? vestment in the midst of an industrious, independent people, and to share in the {>rofits of cheap manufacturing. But as ong as the people of a Southern State invite somebody else to come and do the work which they themselves will not do, dig the ore which they will not dig, spin the cotton which they will not spin, and build the shops which they will not j build, so long will they fail of that power which wealth alone can bring. ? A thoughtful book-canvasser out West wears cowhide pants. Length of the Mississippi.--:Ma k Twain, in the August Alluntk mourns over tlic diminished length of the Missis sippi in this strain : Geology never had such a chance, nor such exact data to argue from ! Xor "de? velopment of species," either! Glacial epochs arc great things, but they are vague?vague. Please observe: 1? the space of one hundred and seventy-six years the lower Mississippi has shortened itself two hundred and forty-two miles. That is an average of a triile over one mile and a third per year. There? fore, any calm person, who is not blind or idiotic, can se" that in the Oolitic Si? lurian period, just a million years ago next November, the lower Mississippi was upwards of one million three hun? dred thousand miles long and stuck out over the gulf of Mexico like a fishing rod. And by the same token any person can see that seven hundred and forty-two years from now the lower Mississippi will only be a mile and three quarters long, and Cairo and New Orleans will have joined their streets together, and be plod? ding along under a single mayor and a mutual board of alderman. There is something fascinating about science.? One gets such wholesale returns of con? jecture out of such a trifling investment of fact. Gex. James Loxgstkekt.?Gen. D. H. Hill, iu the Southern Home, thus al? ludes to a call from his old comrade in arms, Gen. Longstrect: "He is in bad health, and his long whiskers, that were once so black, are now frosted all over. He is stooped and bowed, and looks hag? gard and care-worn. There is little to recall the confident soldier of Lee's army, who never dreamed of disaster, and still less to recall the tall, straight j-outh, al? most feminine in beauty, who led %o many charges in the Mexican war. He was then our most intimate friend in that army, and no one has mourned over his mistaken course since the war more sin? cerely than we have done. But the South had no truer champion than he in the day that tried men's souls. It ill be? comes men who were bomb-proofs then to cast a stone at him now. Lee, John? son and Jackson were not more devoted to our Confederate cause than was Geu eral James Longstrect. The imputations upon his loyalty to the South are simply ridiculous. As he is no longer in Grant's employ, we feel it but right to testify what we know assuredly of his honor and truth." AH Sorts of Paragraphs. ? A Milwaukee paper says of the air, in its relations to man: "It kisses and blesses him, but will not obey him." Blobbs says that description suits his wife exactly. ? A farmer complains that a hook and ladder company has been organized in his neighborhood. He states that the ladder is used after dark for climbing in? to the henhouse, after which the hooking is done. ? Mark Twain, apropos of a new por? table mosquito net, writes that the day is coming "when we shall sit uuclcr our j nets in church and slumber peacefully, while the discomfitted Hies club together and take it out of the minister." ? An eccentric old fellow, who lives alongside of a graveyard, was asked if it was not an unpleasantlocation. ''No," said he, "I never jined places with a set of neighbors in my life that minded their own business so stiddy as they do." ? "Jessie, what was Joe's arm doing around your waist when you were at the front gate last night?" asked a precocious boy of his sister. "His arm wasn't around my waist; I won a belt from him, and be was taking my measure," replied die indignant young lady. ? A Missouri judge has decided that a mother has no legal right to thrash her daughter after the girl has passed her eighteenth birthday. That judge is quite right. When a girl reaches her eighteenth year the legal right to thrash her becomes dormant, and remains so until she marries, when it revives and reverts to her husband. ? "What are you dancing around for ?" inquired a bootblack yesterday, of a boy acquaintance whose face was covered with smiles, aid who was executing a doub'e-shuffle. "Glory 'nuir fur one day !" replied the lad, jumping still high? er, "cow got into the garden this morn? ing and tramped every bed as fiat as yer hat, and I won't have to pull a weed this summer!" ? Senator Norwood, of Georgia, in his recent address at Emory College, made some interesting points. Among them were these: "While emancipation diminished our wealth, it increased our i political power. Negroes vote for men and not for measures, and their eight hundred thousand votes will be added to ours. The negro is gravitating towards us. The people of the North will soon I rise and demand a surrender of tho elec? tive franchise or colonization." ? Hon. Revordy Johnson has ad? dressed a Jong and interesting letter to the New York Tribune on the subject of the law of copyright. Mr. Johnson takes strong ground in favor of the rights of authors to the product of their brains, his conclusion being that the demands of justice and the obligations of national duty imperatively requiro that an inter? national copy-right between the United States and England and all other coun? tries should exist. Mr. Johnson brings to the discussion of the subject, which might be regarded as somewhat out of the line of his usual studies, a fund of erudi? tion, with pertinent authorities and apt examples. ? f here are a very few momentan ui man's existence when he experiences so much ludicrous distress, or meets with as little charitable commisscralion, as when he is in pursuit of his own bat. A vast deal of coolness, and a peculiar degree of judgment, are requisite in catching a hat. A man must not be precipitate, or he runs over it; he must not rush into the opposite extreme, or he looses it altogeth? er. The best way is to keep gently up with the object of pursuit, to lie cautious, to watch your opportunity well, get grad? ually before it, then make rapid dive, siezc it by the crown and slick it firmly on your head, smiling pleasantly all the I time, as if you thought it as good a joke as anybody else. ? Speaking of the South, the Boston J Post says that a fire could not clean out a doomed territory more completely than j the carpet-bag fraternity, chartered and protected from Washington, devoured the remnant of substance which was the South's only reliance in a struggle 1??r re? covery. But iL is everything that labor has at last opened its eyes to the truth, and comprehends the vital points of the | situation. When the blacks suffer, then they are able to see that it is because the I whites have suffered liefere them, and they reason clearly from Ihecflccl tu the cause. When they finally understand that whole States have been impoverished, whose productive resources once seemed i limitless, they are able to conceive that it was accomplished by influences from without, that however commended to their approbation, have provod them? selves treacherously destructive and cruel.
