Sunday Morning. December 6.1868. COMING SOUTH.-We have informa? tion that prospecting companies are passing through Washington city almost daily, on their way South. They are represented to be generally men of ample means, and aro anxious to invest a part of their capital in Southern enterprises. Some wish to bny land, others to establish manu? factories, and others to engage in anything tbut promises tho most profitable results. ? < ??- ? Ono of the most important ques? tions that is likely to receive tho early consideration of Congress at ita next session, is the reduction of tho national expenses. The monthly statements of tho Secretary of thc Treasury show that though vast sums are accounted for under the head of "receipts," yet the public expendi? tures aro so very largo that tho an? nual diminution of the public debt is comparatively small. Of tho auiouut actually due the Government under existing laws, it appears, judging from both official and e.r parie state? ments, that considerablo sums arc never collected, in consequence either of the inefficiency of the officers en? trusted with the collection of reve? nues, or with their inability to cope with the arts of designing and dis? honest men; and from careful esti? mates, it is very generally admitted that could ali the revenues actually due the Government be fully collected and scrupulously accounted for, thc national debt could be liquidated in twenty years. Under the present system of collection, officers arc ap Sointed by a power remote from tho istricts in which tho collections are to be made, and that a power moro eminently political than practical, and heneo it would be not at ail sur? prising if men unfitted for tho trusts assigned them, were often appointed; and it is a well known fact Hint in many cases the officers selected ure almost entirely ignorant of tho business condition of thc com? munities to which thoy uro as? signed, as well us unacquainted with tho people. Tho aggregate expenses incurred in the collection of the in? ternal revenue at tho present time oxcecds $2?,000,000 annually, while it is supposed that of the amount actually dne tho Government $75, 000,000 annually romain uncollected. It is apparent that in proportion as these two items can be diminished, just in that proportion would tho public finances be relieved. Ho! FOB SALT RIVER.-Tho editor of the Reading (Pu.) Gazelle is a gay bird. Hear him warble: "We acknowledge the receipt of a season ticket for passage to the head of Salt River. We accept. We embark. We take onr position proudly upon thc deck, and amid the spray of tho dash? ing waves wo raise our hat and bid a last adieu to those we leave behind. Wo have no tear for them. Our oyen uve dry. We do not envy them. Thoy have "drawn the elephant." Our skirts are clear, and there is a glorious consolation in tho thought that we had no baud in it. Grant is elected. Per contra, Seymour is do feated. Very well. If the radicals can stand it, we can. Wo go-we set sail-wo depart-wo vamose-we leave-we send-but we never sur? render. While perambulating those historical waters, wo will keep a watchful eye upon those who are running the machine in our absence. We will oppose all that is, in our judgment, wron?;. We will prepare to guard against all national calami? ties. Wo will prepare to receive all national blessings. We expect Grant to join us within n year. Wo will confidently look for a "grand old smash up" of tho entire radical con? cern. Extreme measures will not endure. They have been tried in absoluto monarchies. They always failed at last. Moderation must go vorn. People can bo governed too much. They will not stand it. We go "up Salt River;" we go to meet Griswold, ol' New York, and John I. Blair, of New Jersey. These two gentlemen differ from us in politic-;, but wo aro not proud, and therefore accept their company. * * ?. * "Farewell, rads; we bid you all adieu. We won't stay long. We will bo back in less than two yearn, and von will then have the felicity ot taking our places. All wo ask of you is to keep tho country :u as good*or? der os we will the crystaline halls of tho pnlaco at the head of Salt River. Adieu. Good-bye. Farewell. Tu tu. Hy-by." -?--. . It is said to bo a fact that Johnnie McDonald, although employed cvory day in Raleigh, as an oilicer of tho Legislature, tokes but one meal per day in that city. Ho walks to his home, in Chatham County, forty miks from Raleigh, overy ovening. and back tho next morning; and still, wo hear, he complains very much of his seden I arv habits. Mn, Enrrcr.: It must be gratifying I to every well-wisher ot bis State to witness tho awakening intorest in her behiU. manifested by tho people of Maryland and ' Pennsylvania, as evinced by tho highly-respeotable delegation of gentlemen from those States, who como to examino into ber condition and futuro prospects, especially as connected with an in? crease of labor and cupital. Tbe State, at tho present timo, sadly needs both these olemeuts of prosperity, and ber peoplo will gladly welcome both, and givo a hearty co-operation to cvory movement mado to procure this desirable result. ! South Carolina possesses advan? tages and attractions which few other States cnn present to capitalists and emigrants. Herotofore, under ber former system of labor, sbo was pe? culiarly a planting State, that is, her land proprietors cultivated large plantations, instead of tho system of farming, so generaly pursued in tho Northern and North-Western States. Labor was abundant, and tho plant? ers, whotbor wisely or unwisely I do not pretend to say, devoted their agricultural resources to the cultiva? tion of tho great staple-cotton. Large tracts of laud, sonio of it very valuable, wero left uncultivated; every planter of large meaus bad moro land than he could conveniently cultivate, and all were sufficiently independent, so that tbero was but little induce? ment to part with land or to ofter in? ducements to emigrants from other Stutos or from Europe. Now everything is chang* d. Thc people of this Stale are impoverished, tho result of fierce civil strife. That portion of their capital which was invested in their former labor was swept away in a day, and tho whole system utterly disorganized and broken up. This revolution in tho working system of tho Southern States has bad its material results, but will, it is to be hoped, eventuate to tho best interests of the State nud the prosperity and welfaro of ber people. Thc best lauds can bc leased by emigrants on thc most favorable terms, or can bo purchased by them for one-third of their former value; iu short, as thc writer personally knows, our planters ure disposed to ofter any and every inducement to tho industrious immigrants, either from the North or from Europe; aud should they accept of thom, our rich lands would soon teem with abuu duut provision and other crops, not only sufficient to sustain the homo population, but for ox port aud sale. Agaiu, there is the most abundaut water power, for manufactories and mills,'in nearly every water course, of any size, within the State. Indeed, in the vicinity of this city, there is .sufficient water power to make Columbia a se? cond Lowell, with the advantage ol having tho raw material without tlx. cost of transportation. Hero there is an inviting field fora large amount of capital aud its attendants, skilled labor, mechauico and artizaus-a elast of populationlwhicb we need to de velop our extensive mineral and otbei resournos, as well us to strei gtber aud invigorate the energies of om whole people. Besides these induce ments, there is that of a bountifu supply of the best timber, an im portant item in the development o the resonrcos of uuy country. Again tbero is another attraction of tin greatest importance, to those dis posed to come and dwell with us and that is the mildness uud salubrity of our climate; with short and not in clement wintors, and with a genera exemption from any wide-spread ra vages from pestilential epidemics This is an important matter toinvn lids, and indeed to all classes, whethc they como from Europe or tho colde latitudes of this couutr}'. Political excitement has gem rall; subsided in our midst, siuco tb Presidential election, and our peopl of every class cnn now go to work fo thu benefit of the State. Politics, n a business, pays badly to those wh have to labor in any lield for suppoi or maintenance; while tho wrath t parties and party strife strike ut tb most vital interests of every conn tr where they may prevail. Our publi men and legislators should drop mci party legislation, and do all iu thei power, liya wise and liberal systou to encourage and foster every publi enterprise; wo hopo and believe the will do so. It is but just to the present Execi tivc of tho State, to express our bi lief that in all measures calculated I advance tho interests and prosperil of thc people of all classes, they wi have his warm and earnest co-open tiou. Ilia inisl course in this re?pec both before and sinco bis election i Governor, justifies UH in this belie and is a guarantee for tho futu; for tho wiso administration oT b department; and that in all thin; ho will bc an important co-labor< in the promotion of tho best i tcrcsts of tho people among who bis lot bas beef cast. I bavo thus glanced hastily nc tl condition and prospects of our b loved State, uud hope that tho ft words I bavo writteu may boprodu tivo of good both to our own peon and tho friouds wl,,> may come amoi us.

Dr. Finnegan's Quack's Delight. IT will be remembered by all readers of Ancient History, that in the reign of Brian Boroo, thc beautiful Princess Squin tella was seized upon with an affection of tho eyes, and how the Court Physician in vain operated on her optics. At length tho fame nf one Dr. Finnegan penetrated the King's Court, and, after manv efforts, ho at length succeeded in being allowed to operate on Squintella. He approached her Highness with that diffidence and gal? lantry which always has been so charac? teristic of the Finnegan's-and oren now is as bright as of vero -and holding un to her no?e two pounds of LIMBURGER CHEESE, her eyes at once resumed their natural shape. Squintella, from that day forth, shono "Queen of Love and Beauty" at her papa's Court. Finnegan, shortly afu rwords, was gathered to his fathers; but, prior to his lamented decease, ho confided tho secret of thc manufacture of this wonderful Cheese to the President of thc United States, who furnished the receipt to tho present manufacturer. Several wonderful effects have even thus soon followed its introduction here, certi lieates of which will appear in a future is? sue. Sole agent, GEO. SY.MMEltS. Dec 3_ New Store and Saloon.
