Ward, of Winona, Miss., writes as follows iu the Jackson (Miss.) Clarion'm an? swer to an article in the Century Magazine: "Tbe South has been the land of "enter priaea of great pith and moment," rather than tho nursory of scribblers. She has made history for othera to write and pell. "For more than 100 years the grand march of the American intellect has been projected from Southern braina. "Tho line moral and intellectual organiza? tion of Southern children has heretofore beeu largely due to the fact that their moth? ers were exempt from the hardships of pbys-1 ical drudgery and the depressing efTectn of I imnending want. "A Southern man led the patriotic armies to victor; and established the possibilities of the proudest nation on tbe earth. A Southern man was prime mover of the con? vention that framed tho Constitution. When the Koverumtnt wub created its organic laws were still un unexplained book, a ponderous oar in uoskiiled hands "it was left for the greatest legal mind of j tho age. a Southern chief justice, to analyze and slump upon it the construction which will be accepted as long as the Constitution is respected. "A Southern man framed the ordinance for tbe organization and government of tbe great Northwestern territory, an instrument second in Importance only to the Constitu? tion of tbe> United States. "A Southern rnau way tho author of tho republican theory of popular government, which prevailed during the sixty years of j our greatest prosperity, peace andhappi-[ Of tbe fifteen Presidents of tbe Con? tinental Congress tight were from slave States. "Where is there nu exaruplo c?inodera MM??fc?u*h*p that will compare with the dar ing and brilliant cruise Admiral Semmes, who with a stogie ship swept Iroa. ,wq seag j Ihe commerce of a great nation ? Who was to that mapped the geography of the seas, explained their secret phenomena, blazed out on the trackless ocean the shorce*! and safes! highways for the commerce o; the world, by his "Wind aud Current Charts' nnd hi? "Sailing Direction?," taring to the United States millions of dollars annually on outgoing touuega aloco ? Matthew F. Slanry, a Southern man to tho coro, and by common consont of all nations accorded tbe prcuti title of "Philosopher of the Seas." "Where is there a parallel to Auduborj, the naturalist ?od ornithologist of the world ? Chloroform, that has robbed the surgeon's knifa of all its terrors, was first applied by u Southern physician. ?'The two greatest eras in surgery for the last two ocr.turios, iu fact two of the great? er in surgical history, were marked by two Souther:; plijsicaus, Ephraim McDowell, of Kentucky, and J. Marion Sims, of Alabama. In i heir respective branches the surgery of tbo whole eulighteneci world recognizes and follows tho leadership of these famous men. "Bcru Hill was tho only man in America who ever made $1,000,000 a* tbe direct pro duel f bis brain, independent of investment or speculation; id addition to which he ?t\ve fifteen of his best jeans to active public service. "The only approximation to bis record was ihai of another Southern lawyer, Ju dah P. Benjamin, who wen: !o Engiand after tii-j meridian of life and became the trading jurist in that land of great law? yers* ' From 17S0 to 1873, a period of eixty-four years, t-mhraoing eleven administrations, itie slave States furnished eight Presidents, wb< se terms of service covered fifty-two years. Dutiug ibe same time the free states furnished three Presidents, whose combined terms coven d t welve years. ' Of the twelve Vice Presidents four were from slaveSiate-*. "Under these eleven administrations the slave Slater-supplied fourteen Secretaries of Slat*-, eleven Secretaries of War, six Secre? taries of tbe Treasury, nine Secretaries of tbe Navy ami eight Postmaster Generals. "Of fifty-five Presidents pro tern, of the Senate thirty-nine were from slave States. "Of thirty one Speakers of the House twenty-two were from slave States. "Of five Chief Justices, two, and the only two of great eminence, were from slave States. "Or twenty-nine Associate Justices seven? teen were from slave States'. "Of twenty-nine Attorney Generals four? teen were from slave States. "OflS5 public ministers to foreign coun? tries, ninety-nine were from slave States. Without going further into exhaustive de? tails for which material is abundant, we affirm, without fear of decent denial, that along the. lines of these fifty-two years are ranged ail tbe broad and lofty conceptions of statesmanship, all the bold and fruitful enterprises, all the grand and comprehen? sive achievements ftoni which have evolved the pride, the power and the glory of the American people."
