COLUMBLL Friday Morning, August 2, 1867. The Tra? Capital for Boya. The commercial failures in the bu? siness metropolis of the Union, and tho disastrous consequences -which follow them, not only to employers, but employees, elicits from the New York Sun an editorial, giving some good advico to paronte, the main fea turo of which is that boys should be taught . some trade or handicraft. Every day, the Sun says, there are in? stances of men slipping from the highest rounds to tho lowest ono in the ladder of wealth. Business men find themselves engulphed in the sea I of financial embarrassment, from 'which they emerge with nothing but . their personal resources to depend upon for a living. Clerks, snlesmen and others, find themselves thrown out of employment, with no prospect of speedily obtaining places which they aro competent to fill, and with no other means of gaining a liveli? hood. Tho Sun thus states the caso with moro immediate refereuco to tho unemployed young men and the un? fortunate business men of that city: "How many men there aro in this oity to-day, somo of whom havo fami? lies dependent upon them for sup? port, who bewail tho mistake they made in not learning useful trades in their younger da3's? There aro hun? dreds of them. There are men hero who have seen better days, men of education and business ability, who envy tho mechanic who has a sure support for himself and family in his handicraft. Paronts mako a great mistake when they impose upon tho brain of their boy tho task of sup? porting him without preparing his hands for emergencies." There is much truth in tho fore? going paragraph, and its inculcations are peculiarly applicable at this time to the boys of tho South. Thousands and tens of thousands of the people, who wero ablo to givo their boys a liberal education, have been reduced to comparativo poverty, and their sons not having been trained to work, aro now at a loss, however willing they may bo to enter some Held of . industry to obtain employment. As our practical cotemporary says, "no 1 man is poor who is the master of a trade." Tho South needs reconstruc? tion, not merely political, hut mate? rial. Her towns and cities, to a great extent, have to bo rebuilt; her agri? cultural implements to be replaced; her railroads and other enterprises to be renewed and reen pointed; and in all this great work, she will need, for years to come, not only the bone and biuow, but tho mechanical skill of many artisans and tradesmen. If she cannot procure them at home, thoy must come from abroad. Which po? licy is tho best, it is easy to deter- j mine. Tlic Xcrrt of Restoration. The New Hampshire Daily Union, published at Manchester, in that Stato, says that never, during tho last thirty years, except a short time I during tho carly days of tho war, has tho cotton and woolen manufacturing business been in such a depressed condition. The mills are running at j a loss in Lowell, Lawrence, and most of the other manufacturing towns in Massachusetts, and throughout New England. The Union says that the Manchester mills and print works ' have goods on hand unsold to tho amount of $2,000,000. Tho sanio .slate of things exists in other es? tablishments-one manufactory hav? ing sunk $10,000 within ?: few months. In addition to this statement of the factories, it i.-, : aid thai the shoe busi? ness, at Lynn, and other largo shoe manufacturing town.-, in New Eng? land, is in a very depro&sed condi? tion, as compared with what it has boca in former years, when orders for shoes carno in thick nnd fas>t from ! the South and West. Tho paper noticing thia unfortu? nate condition of affairs, attributes it to th 3 chaotic state of tho politick j affairs of the country. North and South, East and West aro all begin? ning to sorely feel the need of resto? ration and peace. Lot the people of all sections remove-overy obstruction, either in men or in parties, to this desirable end. STROSO TESTIMONY.-In a speech delivered recently at Portsmouth, New Hampshire, Fred. Douglas said that all the white men were alike responsible for slavery and equally guilty, and the black ainu's pre? tended friends among them were no better than the rest. He said ho was once pulled out of n coach in Boston for the fault cf being a black man. To Remove. On or about tho 10th of September next, wo proposo to movo our business stand, and occupy tho "LARGE CENTRE STORE," in Walker's Building, Main street, situated on thc square Opposite tho Court House.
