COLUMBIA, S. C.
Sunday Merni**, March 81. 1868.
Thf Phcrnlx-"I'm Four te?Tt OUI To.
Day"-Prospect? of tn? So?ll?,' ?Us.
On the morning of the 21st Marok, 1865
j asi four years ago-thf? Phonix made ita
appearanoe. Our city a?d section had just
been swept with the besom of destruction,
and war-terrible war-was still being
waged. Timo rolled ou, and the black
oloud remained pendant over the South.
The Confederacy was crushed-our boys re?
turned home dispirited and almost reckless;
crops failed; tho superior race was forced to
Guccumb to the inferior; and a feeling ol
dejection began to creep over the people.
Bat the Good Being who rules the universo
kept a watchful eye over ns, nod just as we
were about to despair, stretched forth His
all-powerful baud and lifted up the dispi?
rited; the earth brought forth its treasure.?
bountifully; the torrent of ugly feeling waa
stemmed, and the bow of promise made to
appear in all its beauty. Tho political
horizon ie still somewhat obscured, but it
will eventually clear off. That the South,
which formerly was on the topmost round
of the ladder, has during the past ?vo ot
six years been precipitated to tho very bot?
tom, will not be disputed-that she ia
aow rapidly rising again cannot be gain
sayed; and tho few and feeble obstacles re?
maining in her pathway will be eventually
surmounted, is the earnest prayer and belief,
not only of her true sons, but also of all
well-wishers. The "bird" is firm in this
opinion; but, come what may, will endea?
vor to continue to be a faithful chroniolei
of events. To show that the prophecy as
to the future of the South is not confined
to her people aloue, we make the following
extracts from letters and newspapers. Thc
Mobile Register, of the 16th, says:
"We yesterday had a kng talk with a cul
tivated and clear-headed business man fron:
New York on the prospects of spring trade
He seemed easy and secure about the re
moval of all pressure, stating that thero wa;
at this moment an uneasiness and want ol
confidence in the public credit that wouli
lift as soon as the spring business began it
earnest. Wo were peculiarly struck wit!
the high estimate he put upon tho valuo o:
Southern custom; and the reliance he linc
upon it to verify his prediction. Aud In
only repeats what we read by every mail.
"Southern merchants, in large numbers,
aud of a class of heavy buyers, are repre
sented as already arrived iu New York, am
her dealers look for an unusually active de
maud from them this spring, iu consequeuc
of the comparatively richer condition o
our people, iu the cotton States particular
]y. The last crop was all profit, and titer
were no drawbacks of old debts, tho busi
ness of last year being on a strictly casi
priuoiple, not only between our merchaut
and the Northern dealer?, but botwee:
Southern merchants and their homo ctn
toniers. The yield iu money from the ero
now in process of exportation is not les
than S250,000,000, the profits on which sm
will come back to gratify tho naturall
luxurious taste-so long restrained by m
cessity-of our people.
"Thia is uot a rose-colored view of ot
owu. It ia fact and souse, aud it is ci
dorsed by such business papen of Ne
York as the Commercial. More than th i
it is endorsed by the active exertions tl
live business men of New York, of Phill
delpbin, and even of Baltimore, are makin
to secure this Southern trade. A late nun
ber of the Baltimore Gazette bas a long le
ter, arguing that it was better for her den
ers-iu absence of direct communicatie
with many parts of tho South-to agree I
pay tho freight on heavy purchases to Ne
York, thence to be shipped South. Tl
letter goes ou to say:
" *I know of ono case in point. A me
chant was recently hore from Con way bor
South Carolina, and after making inqnir
found there were no means of shippii
from Baltimore direct to that place. ?
was desirous of making his purchases hor
but this difficulty seemed insuperable. Ol
of our prominent hardware houses agree
to pay the freight on his purchase to Ne
York, to be thence shipped as ho desire
This solved the difficulty, uud tho cons
quenco was that a bill of $11,000 was sol
which would have assuredly gone to Nt
York but for the enterprise and liberal]
of the houso hero.'
"Now, all this shows plainly thc value
our cotton crop this year to tho trade
the North. That trade wants the $25(
000,000 it sccs in such big figures. Doul
less it will get a very largo slico of it; a;
we hope sincerely that our merchants m
buy nt such rates as will make trade mc
brisk, and customers better satisfied. J'
beyond all this is a serious lesson to c
whole people. And it is contained in a n
shell: If our money is so essential to t
prosperity of tba North, would it not
doubly valuable to us if turned into mai
factunng and productivo channels at hon
If we should spend $250,000,000 this yi
for ready-made gooda at the North, woi
not that amount bo worth forty per cc
more to us if wo made the goods" onrselv
Leave out all calculations as to inoreas
population and activity, Southern mercha
and figuro up dealers' and jobbers' pro
and transportation. Seo how much 3
might savo ou that round sum you BI
away, wero there tho manufacturing fae
tics at your owu door."
The Now York Financial ami Cummer
J" ur nal says that tho South, us tho resul
her last crop of staples, has bought liben
ai New York, yet, strange to say, that the
money that went forward to bay cotton, Ac.,
ha? not all found its way back again to the
great commercial and financial centre. Thia
ts a good sign, indeeds Intelligent South?
erners ) think that ? cunent trade indebted?
ness of the South in Northern- cities has
been discharged, and that hereafter nbc will
have much over and above board to repair
the ravages of war. The following is
rather couleur' de rose, but it is u type of
what is going on in the South. It i? from
the Philadelphia North American:
"Leaving methods of communication
aside, (by augmenting steamboat facilities
upon the coast and upon tho Mississippi
and its affluents,) it will be found that tho
same causo has been operating with uoarly
all of tho iuduatries they support or assist,
and that aro aided by thom. It is commonly
known that groat tracts of soa islands have
been sold to Northern cultivators. It is
kuown that colonies of Northern and of
Europeau settlers have located in Eastern
Tennessee; in Western, aa well as in East?
ern Virginia; in tho Carolinas, Florida aud
Georgia. It is not so well kuown that tho
West bas sont down brave representatives
of its thrift along both banks of the Mis?
sissippi and those of its affluents. Those
who have gono hare almost invariably
bought land, and whether they have settled
in one section or in another, they have put
their hands to the work with a vigor that is
capable of some appreciation. Groat tracts
of lumber land have been bought iu Florida,
in Georgia, in Caroliua, and in other States.
Saw-mills have been erected and put at
work. It only requires a few moments' at?
tention to seo that tho amount of their ship?
ments indicates the distribution of a great
deal of money, and tho rapid accumulation
of capital; for while tho sale of the lands
themselves affords means to the sellers, tho
work so instantly done upon them is repre?
sented in wages to tho workmen.
"Another matter that has invested much,
and will take more capital, is the business
of market-gardening, p.irsued as never be?
fore, all tho way from Hatteras to Capo
Florida. There aro no -statistics of this;
and yet the receipts of early fruits aud
vegetables here, and at other cities, en?
lightens us to the fact that the business is
being prosecuted more exteusively aud in
tCitigeutly than ever.
"The mining of coal, iron, oil and gold
that is nuder weigh pays its quota of tri?
buto to Northern aid as well as to general
improvement. Tho work is limited to no
State. lu Tennessee tho marble quarries
again rosouud to hammer aud drill, aud are
sure sources of wealth. North Carolina gold,
that was coined in this city and at branch
mints to the amount of $12,000,000 before
tho war, is being agniu more intelligently
sought; and perhaps au excess of attention
hus been directed to it. But tho iron and
coal miues of Georgia and Tennessee ure
not neglected. Our own State and our own
city have sent enterprise aud means to de?
velop them, and they uro worked at tho be?
ginning as never before, with tho certainty
of a steady increase. These employments
have built and sustain largo establishments
at many of tho ports, besides furnishing
country stores more thoroughly.
"And yet we have not adverted to the
cultivation of cotton, of tob?ceo, of rice,
or of cane, in each of which stuplu interestt
there has been a notable improvement, and
iu all of which tho North has had a share.
Nor havo we alluded to agriculture as ti
whole, now being better prosecuted, as wei
as moro extensively, than over. And yet il
is reckoned that, after supplying all South
eru demands for a year, there will be astir
plus of wheat, rye and barley, as well as o
rico and coru for export.
"These aro tho basis for Southern pros
pcrity, and for all of tho benefit to th(
North that tho North can calculate. W<
maj* odd to them that Northern mannfac
tur?is of cotton and iron, as well as of lum
ber, have gone, and continuo to go, when
they think there aro advantageous opening
for them. * * *
And as frosh energy is added to tho awaken
ing industry of tho Southerners, as th
various fields for profit oro explored am
improved, as capital is nando more abuu
dftut, as labor is bettor paid, as intelligenc
is more diffused, as exchange is quickeue.
and cheapened, wo may look for every ad
vantage to ripen rapidly to the mutual gooi
of the South and th? North, and tho profi
of thc whole country. Wo speak of thoa
enterprises and of this promise now wit
confidence."
Mn. Kimon: Uno of thc greatest evil
the business portion of this community bl
to contend ngaiust, and ono to which yon
I correspondent "Virgil" does not alinde,
tho well-known disposition of thc officia
lof the different railroads to bo as disobli]
ing as possible. T have heard morclian
j say that they preferred rather to forego tl
I demand for a just claim, than to run tl
' risk of lacerated feedings that would cc
; tninly ensue il* the attempt was made to cc
, left. This is :i pretty state of affairs, i:
deed, lt was well, perhaps, when the:
was but ono linc by which wo could recur
or despatch freight ; but now we have coi
petition, aud expect moro very soon. I r
spectfully call the attention of tho prim
pal officers of tho roads to require the
ageuts to act moro gentlemanly towards tl
patrons of their respectivo lines. This m
seem to bc a trivial mutter, but tho writer
certain that this conduct has occasion
tho loss to ono road of at least $20,000
freights during the last ft ,v months.

BUILDING AND LOAN ASSOCIATIONS.-Tho
>rimary object of these associations is to
uable ever}' man to become his own land?
on!-to purchase a homo for himself and
amily, by simply paying iuto a joint con?
ern, for a few years, but little moro than
eould otherwise have been expended foi
out. It is clear that many persons corn
lining together could make small sums ol
aouoy far moro productivo than these samt
ould be made separately; hence, in build
ug associations, money is, from tho begin
ting, kept actually employed, continual!}
noducing and reproducing at a wonderfu
ate of increase, and afforded to tho bor
Offer on moro advantageous terms than bj

Thc great Lifo Insurance Company of the
United States is tho National, of which Jay
Cooke & Co. are tho General Agents, Wash?
ington. Compared with other big compa?
nies, it is destined soon to bo tho BIQOEST
company in the country. Why? Because
its growth and popularity, measured in its
infancy, warrants it. Tboy have issued, in
five months, nearly 4,000 polioies, embra?
cing a sum insured of upwards of $18,000,
000, and the applications daily increasing.
Anothor reason is, that the plan of the Na?
tional is the correct one, the cheapest one,
the most liberal one; secures tho largest
un<mnt for tho sum paid; no fictitious or
distant dividends declared to dazzle tho im?
agination with its glittering promises, but
gives you a cash dividend in hand before
you start. How? A young clerk, ago
twenty, pays $12.05 a year, and secures a
policy in tho National for $1,000. In other
companies ho pays $19.89-a difference of
8G.94, or a cash dividend of over fifty-two
per cent. This difference will enable him
to take ont a policy for $500 more; so that,
should ho die, his family secures $1,500,
and pay no more premium than other com?
panies charge for $1,000. This don't look
like, what is supposed by some to be tho
case, that tho company divide all the profits
among themselves. Why, tho fact is, they
give you a dividond before it is duo-in ad?
vance-and no contingent operation of ma?
king a profit ?3 dependent upon it. Insure
in tho National. Cull and got circulars.
