Rh .rd, Newberry. Samuti Drouthitt, Greenville C. H. "Wm. Moore, Abbeville C. H. Julius Poppe, Anderson C. H. Industrial Condition ?r tile S?uth. The remarkable business activity ?which sprung up all over the South immediately after the conclusion of the war, was regarded as the sure in? dication of tho speedy prosperity of that desolated section. The noise of battle had hardly died away before the hum of reviving business was lward. Not only were the old places of trade re-opened throughout the South, but every town found its ca? pacity for business accommodation entirely too small, and tho rapid con? struction of new houses and enor? mous advances in the value of proper - ty were the result. Newspapers which, are always a sure business ba? rometer-suddenly started up by hundreds. Not only was there a re? vival of old journals that had lain dormant during the war, but new ones appeared on every hand, and all showed, by overflowing advertise? ments, that unbounded conn .lenee was felt in the immediate prosperity of the South. But, unfortunately, time has proven that the wonderful business activity of the South was spasmodic, unnatural and transient Many of the new spapers which start? ed up under such favorable auspices have withered and died. Others are languishing for support, and all of them bear witness to the re-action that has occurred in the industrial condition of their section. Trade is dull, money is scarce, times are hard, and a despondent feeling generally prevails. There is ground for considerable difference of opinion about the cause of this back-set to Southern pros? perity, but we incline to think that it is the result of a combination of cir? cumstances. In the first place, a great deal of the apparent prosperity which followed the war was not reid. The exhaustion of supplies in the South during the pendency of the rebellion, naturally caused a heavy importation of goods ns soon as the military lines were broken, and great activity in business was the conse? quence. That activity was necessa? rily Only temporary, but it had a de? ceptive tendency, and induced the belief that it would be permanent. A partial re-action, therefore, was tobe expected. But other and unnatural causes have helped to check the pros? perity of the South. The radical measures of Congress, tho continued exclusion of the Southern States from representation, and the fear of their people that Congress will ' 'Polandize" them, has doubtless done much to? ward checking the advance of busi? ness. The doubt and uncertainty which now exist restrain men from embark? ing in new enterprises, and induce them to wait until the affairs of their section shall have been settled. Tho Southern poople, however, may blame a class of their own men for the present unfavorable condition of their industrial affairs. That class are the persons who continually show their spite and hatred toward the North, and who are held by the radicals as the true representatives of Southern feeling. They aro account? able for the non-emigration of North? ern men to the South, and for the consequent loss of tho capital and energy that might otherwise be in? fused into Southern business. There are other points that might be men? tioned in this connection, but we will not allude to them now. It is enough to know that a material and unfavor? able ch ?o has occurred in the busi? ness prospects of the South, and that the chango is partly attributable to radicalism in the Novib. and rebellion iu the South, which we hope the loyal people of both sections will be pa? triotic enough to rebuke. [New York Sun. CATHOLICITY.-Several now Episco? pal Sees are to bo established by tho Roman Catholic Church in this coun? try, and Bishops appointed to preside over them by the second national council of tho Church, which is to meet in Baltimore on the 1st Sunday of October. Grand Jury. Judgo H. D. Clayton, in hi* charge to tho Grund Jury of Pike County, on the 9th of September, used the following language : Among tlie terms which the Con? federate States terminated their heroic struggle for a separate and independ? ent nationality, was one which guar? anteed freedom to this race. Although we deplore tho result, as alike inju? rious io tho country and fatal to the negroes, the law has been placed upon our statute books in solemn form by us, through our delegates. The laws for their government have been re? pealed, and others instituted adapted to their new condition. For myself, I do not hesitate to say, iu public and in private, officially and unof? ficially, that, after having done all that I could to avert it, when I took off my sword in surrender, I deter? mined to observe the terms of that surrender with the same earnestness and fidelity with which I first shoul? dered my musket. True manhood, requires no deception, but that, as we say with our lips, we shall feel in our heart, and do with our hands. There is nothing in tho history of the past of which we need be ashamed. Whilst we cherish its glorious memo? ries, und that of our martyred dead, wo pause here ?fud there to drop a tear over their consecrated ashes, but remember there is still work for the living, and set ourselves about the task ol?v re-establishing society and rebuilding our ruined homes. Others, unwilling to submit to this condition of things, may seek their homes abroad; you and I are bound to thia soil for lifo, for better or for worse, apd it must, at last, cover our re? mains. What, then, is our duty? Tc piue at our lot? To sit down, night and day, cursing aud gnawing oui chains? That is not the part of man .liuess; but to rise up iinji go forward, performing our high mission as men. "He that does the best his circum stances allow, does well, acts nobly angels could do no more." Is it nol enough that the blood of the bes1 and bravest has been shed in ever; valley throughout the land? Is it no enough that the bones of our father: and brothers and sons lie whitening on every hill-top? Is it not enougl that the voice of lamentation has beei heard at " every fireside? Is it no enough that the wailings of thowidot and orphan still sound in our ears Have we not suffered enough? HUM we not dono all that was in tho powe of human nature? In our own bc 8oms, let us wear this conseiousnes ns a jewel above price! ANOTHER EUKOPEAN WAU. -Th Marquis dc Lurochojaquelin has put fished, iu pamphlet form, in Paris what would havo boen pronounced i the form of a speech in the Frene Legislature but for his ill hcaltl The substance of his argument ii that IJurope is on tho verge of a gem ral war. He says : "There is no uso in concealing tL fact. France has played too great part in recent times to have any a fiances on which she can coun Modern Germany does not love u and rivalry will soon bc aggravate into hatred. Italy is out of the que Hon. Tho manner in which tl French are received there, and tl Government judged and treated, do< not allow of any illusion.

The responsibility for your suffering rests upon yourselves. Just as surely as you shako to-day, or will shake to-morrow, HosTF.TTEn's CELEBRATED STOMACU BITTERS will extinguish tho disease under which you labor. Had yon taken this genial tonic as a preventive, you would have no need of it as a euro; for it renders tin- sys? tem impervious to all miasmatic fevers. Eut since you neglected the precaution, rid yourselves without delay of the com? plaint by resorting to the only reliable remedy. Break the chills with Hostetter's Bitters, and they will return no more. This is tho experience of thousands, and it will be yours. Quinine is a slow means of re? lief; it is nauseous to the last degree; it is moro dangerous than the malady itself; in many cases it utterly fails. How different is the effect of the Bitters! Their curative ? action is rapid; they aro agreeable to the palate; they aro not only entirely harm? less, but tend ruovitably to strengthen th? constitution ami [prolong life; they neve? leave failed, and it is confidently assumed that they Merer can fail ?n any caso M Fever and Ague, however inveterate in itt character.

TURAL WORES of this city, the. proprietors of these Works, in self-defence, and to inform their patrons that they still live, beg a careful perr.sal of the following card: The above celebrated Works wi re originated and erected during tho years 1S47, '48 and '40, by the present senior proprietor, who has (with short interruptions) been con? stantly connected with them as the principal manager, and since 1*65, in connection with bis junior brothers, under the style of Emery Brothers. During the summer of 1 si;-j. be atti oded the World's Fair at London, with some of his leading inventions, and remained abroad nearly two years, engaged in successfully establishing their manufacture. lu the mealtime, owing to embarrassments and losses, the Brm of Emery Brothers, consisting of Wm. B. and C. W. Emery, made an a>signmont, and these entire works and business won- sold, and purchased by other parties, and the said finn ceased to exist from November 1, 1W2, leaving the brothers, Wm. B. and G. W., hopelessly bank? rupt. On his return from England, in the early part of 18G4, the present senior proprietor . negotiated for and re-purchased tho entire interest, real and personal, in and to these works and business, including its entire accumulation of patterns, working machinery and its business, and continued tbo same, with the aid ci Wm. B. and G. W., to No? vember 1, 1864, when he assumed its entire management on his own account- Wui. B. and G. W., for a very valuable c:ish consideration, preferring to relinquish all antici? pated interests and retire therefrom, and with the intention with those funds of com? promising with their creditors. ' - u He has since associated with him bis eldest son, HORACE HERBERT EMERY\nnder the style ami name at the head of'.his notice, and continues the business, in all its branches, at tho old stand than which no more complete establishment of its kind exists in the country. They have largely increased their facilities made many new and valuable addition? and improvements to their already large assortment of machines, which their expe? rience and observation, at home and abroad, have suggested a-s desirable. The senior member of the linn is the pioneer of this business here, and he has been th?! designer, protector and patentee of all the leading and successful machines which have given the wide celebrity to these works; among which are the EMERY'HORSE POWERS, COTTON GINS and CONDENSERS, Threshing Machines, Sawing- Mills, Corn Shelters, Chu ruing Machinen, Cotton Openers, Ac, ail of which thev now offer the public on the most liberal terms, and a continuance of their patronage* is solicited.
