awTAKUBtT APTAaKS. V. 'v t' TtTt tax oo Tsrrr rwtfM Man mtx. 1 to fA v. mm IKTTEtt WEITEXV We irroWditioiif of yesterday to contrast the Southern situation as seen from a business point of view with that solid Bour bon South; which exists in; agination of Northern readers who have drawn, their conclusions from' tli.

a 4h.MiHi(nM mill and the flippant and superficial effusions of nmscropulous or reckless newspaper correspondents. We found an illustration or our theme in Jay Gould's recently published utterances in reference to the present condition and prospects of this section. We find the opposing view more recently stated in a letter from Gathn to' the Cincinnati Enquirer, written at this city and dated 81st of March last. "Oath" has achieved distinction in his particular deparment in jour nalism. and it is not to be denied that he writes with a facile pen, and with a certain air of philosophic elevation and breadth of view alike attractive and imposing.

But however trustworthy he msy be as a chronicler of the political gossip of Washington, and however accurate msy be his sammsry of thst phase of American civilization with which be is most familiar, we must insist that the picture which he presents of Southern life, manners, enterprise and aspiration, is absurdly false in almost every particular. For instance, riding over the rails thro eh Alabama and a part of Mississippi," hefel tbinltii how he could apo loreigner of adventure an experience, if such had been in my company, for the want of most of the facilities and comforts of life in this region, which but yesterday maintained great armies in the field and challenged the world to be admitted into the great families of powers." Wo msy admit that there is a good deal of fine phrasing in this passage, but it does certainly express an immeasurable amount of besh. It does not seem to have occurred to "Gsth" that a country does not necessarily wear a more prosperous appearance from having' supported great armies and having been rav aged by them. In point of fact he was riding through a tract of pine woods which never supported great armies either yesterday or the day before, and which never challenged the world for admission into the great family of powers or into anything else. We understand thst there are portions of the country, altogether outside of Dixie, equally as barren, desolate and uninterestiag to foreigners of adventure and experience." We remember what intense indignation fired the Northern heart when, some years ago, 'sirs.

Trol lope and Charles Dickens gave to English readers certain crude, hastily drawn and highly colored sketches of American life bnt misfortune does not always teach justice, and the North has now many writers quite equal to Dickens and Mrs. Trollope, if not in genius, at least in an unmeasured capacity for fluent misrepresentation and super ncial generalization. Wonderful to say, Gath," whUe tiding through the pine' woods, saw next to nothing indicative of modern civilization "The soil," he says, is generally tain, whether red or white, and when either red or white is not picturesque." What, indeed, can be said of tne civilization of a country where the soil, whether it turns pale in the presence of the doughty correspondent or reddens with indignation under his glance of scorn, is not even picturesque or otherwise gratifying to his aesthetic sense But the most striking feature about this reprehensive observation is "Gath's" evident intention to deduce from it a general conclusion, and to argue that the whole South is stricken with poverty and buried in sloth. Finding the outlook from the car windows so unattractive this industrious correspondent betook' himself to the study of his fellow travelers. One half or two thirds of them were "mercantile bummers." That fact ought to have impressed him with the fact that Northern merchants have discovered that there is a great deal of money to be made by trading with Southern people.

But that was an evidence of prosperity and "Gath" very consistently overlooked it. The natives on board were mainly women 'and babies, and he was pained to find that they were not about to make the grand tour of Europe, but were for. the most part only visiting relatives and friends along the road. Another shocking aiscovery was that these women were very plainly and cheaply dressed. "They wear low heeled shoes, and are so particular about their skirts that a man may ride fifty miles with them and hardly know whether they have any feet." Gath may have been in doubt in regard to that latter point, as he looked to see, and we therefore beg to assure him that the ladies who inhabit the portions of Alabama and Mississippi through which he was then riding are as a rule provided by nature with two feet each.

As regard the scanty representation of the male natives who travelled with himi he informs us that they werea taciturn, abrupt or instinctive of" address. 'i, 1 f.i Zi. no doubt very discreditable be "instinctive of and something to be guarded against, if one only knew; what it was. In this connection, Gath indulges in the following reflections Ths mors I travel la ths 8utA aad la ths ftntaths avn4 ft ppesrsto aM fhsttbe SUENreaea between tin aeetlon in tttm know ted re el fact, or follaem of the Jffortkern BUM, ao4 tbe bMTeeaeM of BMtersl obeerrtloB tn. tbe Boatbero States.

We have hitherto cherished the old fashioned notion that the influ A ence of mothers, wives ana sisters a. was elevating ana puruying. dux.

Gath thinks that tbe women of the South are exceptions to the rule because of the peculiar bias given to their minds by the institution of slavery, and he asks us to believe that tbe Southerners are the only uncivilized race whose women 2 1 are equal or superior its men. Later on, he furnishes this precious bit of slander Tn Mmaofhe eltles of the S'mth there have been extraordinary eaaea of daughter, widows and Kinswomen of Southern statesmen and generals who naTe taken the bad track, throwing alde their obligations to Tlitue. and lo many oases rushlox Into camp of the Bidleal enemy.

As for tbe men, we are told that their prevalent vices are gambling! drunkenness and libertinism.

But he had previously said, the worst political influences in the South are still the women and the preachers of the Christian church." We doubt whether Gath attended church dar ing his Southern trip; and it is neces sary to inform him that politics are never alluded to in Southern pulpits. CONSULTATION ON THE WHARF OR DINANCE. We are pleased to see the interest which is being taken in the various important measures pending before the Council and the efforts of leading business men and public spirited citizens to eecure wise municipal legislation. It betokens better gov ernment and a brighter era in local legislation. The Administrators have certainly adppted a popular course in calling upon leading citizens for their views upon matters of great moment to the community.

It is very true they may subject themselves to a vast deal of irrelevant argument, and some of their counselors may be impracticable and violent, but there must result a better understanding of the situation. On Saturday next there will be a consultation with representatives of the commercial and shipping inter ests concerning the disposition of the wharves. This is as it should be. Action upon so important a matter ought only to be taken after mature deliberation and consideration of every phase of the question. The Council has, we think, wisely taken the position that the wharves should be leased for a term of years.

This is putting it upon a business basis. The construction and repair of wharves, and the proper collec tion of the revenues, is a business undertaking requiring training and close management. Economy can only be insured in such matters by a consistent policy and thorough knowledge the business. Under Government eontrol there would be the many changes incident to political administration, the ex travagance which public servants generally fall into, and we could not insure the choice of an administra tor with the requisite business quali fications and firm purpose to accom plish the same ends which a responsible contractor would. We take it that the same principle which applies in the ordinary busi nessTafiairs of life is the best in the public service.

An undertaking which requires skill and application is best done when put under contract. The Cotton Exchange is the finest collection of business men in the South, but it would not under take to construct its new building otherwise than by contract with architects and builders. The terms and character of the lease, however, should be well considered. There cannot be too much caution in adjusting the burdens imposed upon shipping and river craft, nor can there be too muoh deliberation on the subject of providing ample accommodation for the tonnage seeking our port, enlarging the facilities for the speedy and safe handling of merchandise, and protecting and improving, the whole levee front. fiJrthkr industrial.

PROGRESS. We understand that work will soon be commenced upon another great industrial that will fornish employment to a large number of that clasa of our population now sadly in need of means of subsistence. The capital stock of $300,000 has been subscribed for a cotton factory, and a site has been purchased in the business portion of the city. The Messrs. Maginnia and Charles T.

Howard, we are informed, are the principal stockholders. It, is proposed to commence the workatoace. The new mill of Messrs. Lehman. Abraham Co.

is completed, and for the machinery, which is coming forward. Work on the bagging factory. is progressing rapidly, "and its looms will be in motion before midsummer. be by the and yea Beforelhe closeof the present month the new ice sctoryj.wiu oein opera 'tion' it" These enterprises dearly indicate the tendency of capitaiand portray more progress in the direction of rnanufacturin industry than has been witnessed during any season since 'the 'war. '5 But the field is by no means fully occupied.

There is more room for expansion, in manufaetores than in any city of the Union. An abundant supply of labor, cheap' fuel, a mild climate, and excellent facilities for distributing goods, offer inducements for large investments in industrial enterprises that cannot be much longer overlooked. Not more than one seventh of our population subsist upon manufactures. The proportion should be at least one half. DIED.
