cofa?iiu. s. b. Wednesday Morning, October 13.1869. Th? Snpteikic Picctla or Uk? Sonih. No morely political victories. on the. part of thegrea> body of the Southern* people will, of themselves, re-establish the South. Party triumphs, although in the lino of truth, justice ard the Oon Btitution, can but open tho way to sub 8tantia!progress-can but invigorate the agencies whereby tho public wjeliare is proTQ>9^edt. -ilsnjbe |t ?a? thai itbeoomo.s us, in the heat*, of party, diac.uss.ion aud party struggles, not to overtook tho measures thatgivo a people positive and practical strength.1 The rights, the dig? nity and the in flue nc o of the subjugated States of the South,-will come back to them wit h tb oh- acquired wealth-with their restored and improved industries. To increase the value of our productions; to diversify our pursuits; to attract num? bera from abroad; these are the potent iustru tuon tali ties, by the employment of which, wo meet tho supreme needs of the Souti. -Let ino patriot 1 .rt 1 in the South'-fall to feel tins tr nth j abd lei pa? triot bands in the South hot omit to give lian dm pie illustration. The programme, thebils beTore tho South. It' is briefly this: 'To make the most of onr soil, our eli m a 10 on & 0 iii s. tr earn s-t o develop all forms of mnu&?ActU?es-to promote im migration by-V??BO ??d liberal measures, ond thus to obtaiu the wealth and num? bera that our section needs. pJ o>rt-?<?+*?> Sr AJT?STICS-STATE AND NATIONAL DEBTS. According to the, New York Independent, ', the following is ? statement of the popu? lation and debt of the States of the Ame? rican Union at the close of the year 1868: "New England States, 3,400,000 popu? lation; 846,386,882.00 debt. Middle States', 10,135,000; $90,119.721.71. Pa? cific Stetes. 780,000; 84,872,656.59. Southern Stetes. 10.3GO.000; $138,803, 300.86. Western States, 12,350,000; $48,452,386.82. Total, 37,025.000; $329, 584,446.03. The debt of the New Eng? land Stetes, it will be seen, is $13.62 and a fraction per capita; of the Middle States, $8.90 and a fraction; of the West? ern States, $4 and a fraction; of tho Southern States, $13.39 aud a fraction ; and of the Pacific States, $6.24 and a fraction. The New England States owe the largest amount iu proportion to ihe population, and the Western States the smallest. The large State debts are thoso of New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Massachusetts, North Carolina, Missouri, Tennessee, Louisiana and Ohio-making an aggregate of $240,567,499 as the debt of these nine States. The average of the tot.nl debt of all the Slates is $8.90 and a fraction per capita. The national debt on the 1st of Jone; 1869, was $2,505,412, 618, which is At the rate of $67.68 per capita for the whole United States. Pay the national debt in gold, at the average price of 140, and it adds over $1,000,000, 000,000 to the debt, making it $3,507, 567,658." WHY DID LOUD AND LADT B?HON SEPARATE?-?By the European mail from London of September 23, wo learn that Mr. C. Redding has written another let tor on this question. He asserts that there.is not a shadow of foundation for Mrs. Stowe's charge, against Mrs. Leigh, and declares his belief that Lady Byron herself never circulated Mich a statement. The letter concludes as follows: "The cause of separation will perhaps remain a mystery. I kucw it forty-four ?-ears ago, but the secret never passed my ins. It was told to me by a friend of Lady Byron's. It matters not to a curi? ous and censorious world, whioh in, re? ality cares not a jot about tho matter except to gratify au idle curiosity, which Mrs. Stowe's sensation fiction and affect? ed sympathies about black or white have tho effect of stimulating." In this connection, we publish tho fol ing card: "Mrs. Stowe desires tho friends of justice and fair dealing to publish for her the following card: That she has kept silence heretofore in regard to criticisms on her article on Byron for two reasons. First, because she regarded the publio mind as in too excited a stato to consider the matter dispassionately; and second, because she has expected the develop? ment of additional proofs in England, some of which, of great importance, have already come to hand. Mrs. Stowe is preparing a review of tho whole mat? ter, with further facts and moro docu? ments, including several lettors from Lady Byron to ber attesting the vigor and soundness of her mind nt the poriod referred to, and also Mrs. Stowe's own letters to Lady Byron at thc same timo, which were returned to hor by the exe? cutors soon after that Indy's death. She will also give the publio a full account of the circumstances and reasons which lcd ber to feel it to be hor duty to make this disclosure ns an obligation alike to jus? tice, gratitude aud personal friendship." A great storm prevailed in Muino on tho evening of Monday last, and in the town of Eastport alone property was de? stroyed to the amount of $500,000, in shipping, fish-houses, wharves, etc. Nu? merous vessols were wrecked nlong the coast, abd in 'two instances with loss of life. An unknown bark was lost at Now River, with seventeen persons on board, and the schooner Rio at St. Andrews, with all on board-how many not known. Tho towns of Lubec, Pembroke and Per? ry were heavily damaged. A freshot also occurred in Swift River, by which many farms wore overflowed, houses destroyed and tho owners impoverished.

SOTJTHXRN STATS STOCKS AS AN INVJKST XKrr^~Tbe Hew York '^^'^^l^^^j portion of his surplus M he can afford to pnt away without anxiety in his place of safe deposit, and keep until it cornea up feo par, and pays ito semi-annual dividend aa regularly as the bonds of the United States." The Journal says: "Oar dpi nion of 8onthern State ntocks has nor changed. Wo regard thom,as good ulti? mate security, no matter what the price may be to-day. If they should sell to? morrow at ten cents on the dollar, it would not affect onr judgment of their vaiuo one iota. But we say now, as we said before, nervous, timid people, al? though they may be able to live for a while without the interest, should not buy them even for investment, a?'every important change in the market: price would be interpreted by them as indica? tivo of some new evidence regarding the ultimate security of their capital. It is because of these accompanying contin? gencies I hat the price is so low as to tempt buyers. But none should yield to that inducement who is likely to be kept awako at night when the prico goes down.'' Thia is sound advice?. Such persons should only invest ior well-esta? blished securities, which generally com? mand ? good price; t . ? D1STUJJER8 OP FBUIT.-.Tho interests of the service and of fruit distillers both demanding it, the Secretary of the Trea? sury and Commissioner of Internal Re? venue, on consideration, have directed the issuing of a supplement to regula? tions-series 5, Na?'/7-exempting distil? ler* of apples, ponchos and gropes, from the provision of Section 23, Act of July '20, 1868, which requires distillers to put np their spirits in packages of not less than twenty gallons. These distillers from fruit will hereafter be permitted to pnt up their spirits in packages of not less than ton gallons. Inasmuch as no tax-paid stamp has heretofore been used for packages of less than twenty gallons, a now stamp is being prepared for ten gallon packages, with coupons attached, so as to be adapted to a package of any amount between ten and twenty gallons. All packages of twenty or more gallons will be stamped with tho tax-paid stamp heretofore iu use. WHAT IT COSTS.-It costs Europe something like $200,000,000 to support her Kings; we should like to know how much additionally it requires to main? tain ber armies. Both sums go to the maintai nance of ono supreme luxury of 11 monarchy, to which ia occasionally su peradded a despotism with extraordinary cost. These considerations give very great emphasis to the statement that Napoleon will announce to his Legisla? ture that the powers of Europe have agreed to a general disarmament. A New Orleans despatch to the Louis? ville Courier-Journal has a story of a connter-plot in Cuba, or a plot within a plot, whoso purport is that certain wealthy Cubans in tbe island, opposed to insurrection, are about to unite with the resident Spaniards in a "struggle for independence." The curious part of the Story is that "General Robert E. Lee was resolved upon for President of the Re? public of Cuba, and the position offered him for ten years." We are further as? sured that "the documents offering Gen? eral Lee the position of President have been forwarded to him." The cotton crop of India in 18G0 wns worth about $25,000,000. This yenr's crop is estimated at 8100,000,000. Tho natives begin to understand that it is better to produce cotton nt lOd. per pound than the staple millet of the country from which they barely eke ont a support. It is well known that the Indian cotton is greatly inferior in qual? ity to that produced in this country; but it bas improved bycare in the cultivation and packing. Asad accident has just occurred nt the Victoria Theatre, Berlin. Two of tho ballet girls were dressing in the room, when one of them lighted an extra gas burner, and threw the burning paper on the ground. Their dresses instantly caught fire, and, although assistance was at once rendered, they were so badly burned that one of them died the same night, and the other the following morn? ing. The news from Spain to-day by cable is not suggestive of a peaceful solution of that country's internal difficulties. The long-threatened conflict between tho Democrats and Monarchists becomes moro imminent, and the entire kingdom appears to bo politically in a volcanic condition. Madrid, though quiet, was in such peril that the police had instruct? ed thc citizens how to defend the capital in case of attack. AN ACCIDENT.-We learn that John Mooney han, a brakesman on tho Wil? mington and Weldon Railroad, while attempting to get up on a freight train at Rocky Mount, on Thursday last, fell and was killed. John Kitts, 107 years of ago, hus pre? sented to tho Baltimore City Council a claim fpr services rendered tho city in the wars of the revolution and of 1812. A negro preacher in Louisville, Ky., reprimanded two of his female parish? ioners in church, and they reprimanded him with a cowhide after cha rob. If yon hove Dyspepsia, use "Solomons' Strengthening and Invigorating Bitters. " It is a certain cure. OI8 6 "Boiled cussedness with the scum on," is what a Wisconsin editor calls being bucked off the side walk by a platoon of pretty girls. Pat, on introducing his English friend into a row, said: "Wherever ye sees a head, hit." Saints Obnrob, London, and in th? ferror of bis /exhortation said: "For wbat did she do this thing? For the sake of 'ft' fr?ToTrietf" aiTgreat as that of Nattas Iscariot,--or for tho thirty, pieces of silver offered by a magazine editor." Tho liitost information about tho ex? plosion at Indianapolis, plaoes the num? ber of killed, who have been identified, at twenty-one. The coroner has a lot of remains which, it is thought, are parts of three more bodies, making the total killed twenty-four. Mrs. Cecelia Rhodes, of Polk Couuty, N. C., is 100 y ears old. She distinctly recollects when the British army was in Rowan County, und relates many inci? dents that occurred during their occupa? tion of the State. An Omaha girl, whose lover would not propose, fired one barrel of a revolver at bim, told him sho had five more left, and forced him to terms. They are nowa happy couple.
