Thi following article from the London
?? V Tunes " will interest our readers : -
''? It is very much tobe regretted that Hie
American Government, having successfully
.' brought to Conclusion tho great war in which
it has been engaged, and having decided on
; a policy in regard to thq.South full of magna
nimity and conciliation, and calculated, if any
thing can, to heal tho wounds left behind it
by tho Into fearful struggle, should not have
* buried thematehet aUoget'hey. On her West,
the great ftepublio is still engaged in a fearful
conflict with the T.ndians, and on the East her
Minster is directed to" stir up fresh elements
of strife^ and revive controversies which it
' eau serve no good purpose to renew. Opinion
has boen divided in- this country on thc mer
its of the American quarrel; hut we,ure all
unanimous in wishing every success to the
wow ?rddr of things, *ud in desiring to see
, " thc United States, since they arc to form a
Vi?$lo confederacy,**linke?! together in the
bonds of sincere .friendship and good will,
among each other, and hying on thc host-of
\ijjr terms with tho remainder of thc world.- Had
'..;,'Pb; this country berni actuated hy a hundredth
* part of the animosity of which American pa
pers continually accuse her, she would hav
taken a very diiTercntcour.se from that which'
?he has adopted.
Wcrcgrot exceedingly that thc Government
. of .America has thought ht to bring forwrtjd
. > these claims, (demands for losses caused hy
the depredations of t-he Alabama, a Confeder
* >^te cruiser,) but we think there cannot be for
'vii moment a doubt as to'thc answer they should
receive. To yield to such demand would be
-vith new
. nuc? undefined liabilities, against which no
? . prudence and.no good intentions can guaran
tee them. If such* .demands >as these ace to
. be the ordinary r?sulta*ot the conclusion ?f a
war between I wo powerful States, it will profy;
?ftbly bo thought better by those against whom
they are sure to bo made, rather to take sides
ut once, nodally themselves to ono party or
j . tlife othor, than to place themselves in ? si til
' nt ion .so humiliating ns that wliiiih a neutral
would henceforth* fill. Wo cannot, of course,
toll in what spirit the Government of the'
v United States is disposed to receive the final
?nd deliberate ref osad of the British Govern
ment to entertain ir? any shape the claims
tjioy pwt forward. We "can only say, on our
part, that we are quite sure our Government
may depend npon tho support of the nation
"in maihtainjng the position it luis taken up.
If tho American Government is determined
to seek a quarrel with us, as weil this demand
as.any other. We*cannot have one on which
?Ur right is clearer and our position more un
questionable. If it i's not,, we shalljlave saved
ourselves, by thc finn- stand Wc i*ro^now ma
king, froio a great degradation, and vindicated
for thc benefit of all mankind that neutral po-.

thie Wara of the past., and so often, WQ trust,
to be hers in the wars of tue fuiiue.

What the South Needs
Gov. Perry, in his admirable message, has
touched upon a matter which must, nolens
uolcns, be. seriously considered by thc people
ol' thc Southern States and Of South Carolina.
Wo'alUme to the following paragraph s
" It should be thc prido of . every farmer j
and planter in the State to raise, grow or make ?
every thins; whiph he uses or needs. Slavery
has been abolished, and lubov made more hon
orable as well as more necessary. They who
have he roto loni spent Their lives in case and
i die ii ess" will be* forced to work. Planting
and thc learned professions are no longer the
(Tnly honorable means pf livelihood for our
young-men. They must become tradesmen,'
manufacturers, artisans or mechanics. Immi
gration of industrious foreigners must be eu-,
cournged. Then nuurafactures'will spring up,
com moree will revive, and we shall become an
independent people."
This is plain and sensible talk to thc peo
ple. \Vhnt we want now is icorker's in ovcrjt
department of industry-in ,the field, in tho
work-sl?op, in the manufactory, and .in thc
cou ti ti n?- house. The radical change in -our?
system of labor will not now permit any gen
tlemen, idlers or unproductive loafers.- If
the earth yields her increase to any remuner
ative extent, it must bo by hard licks and un
tiring energy on''thc,part of her people; if'
wc wish to advance'our mechanical interest*,
owe young men nnfst nbfrbe. ashamed to go
into thc workshops and IcaVn'somc useful
tra^e, and in every other department of thc
groat work of developing ?ur resources and
repairing our shattered fortunes, it is workers
-cirnost, faithful workers-that are needed.
llevetofor?, iii'this State, our young in cn
from our colleges and schools crowded into
the loamed professions, .the result, of which
was that numbers of them never got praetieo
.CniAtglTto s?pfi?ft. theirtJSoiU UviVs\irfntt.o\if^t<'
imy other business, they too"often," instead of
being a*c'tive producers, become a burden upon
Uioii/frieuda and an iucubus upon t\ys indus
trial energies of society. Now everything is
changed; much of our property that constitu
ted our wealth, and all of it whioh formed nul
labor system, has been, swept away as' in tho
twinkling of Bri eye;'and if thee is any other
way to resuscitate our! resources- and bring
baek prosperity to Hie hindi other than by
untiring 'efforts and steadfast'la bor, we cannot'
see it. There is work now for all wl*o arc
.here, and for all who may come among us for
a quarter of a century to borne. Let each,
therefore, go at it with steadfastness of qfiur*
po.Wand with a .determination t*.succeed, and'
success will come.- Columbia J'/toni?c.
