Whatthe South needs just now is not. pre-el.i nently, representation in the Unted States Ceo gress. She would desire, no doubt, to haove a voice in that government which is over her: she dislikes to be taxed without being repre sented: she objects, certainly, to being re duced to a condition of absolute political vas- - salage; but, after all, what is she going to do about it if the majority in Congress] persist in excluding her from participation in governmental atfalei The struggle for independence has been made and has failed. Another struggle for the privilege of ratifying the despotic acts of a vime tive majority, by an ineffectual protest in CopdOss would be not worth the trying, even if i Aare not plainly hopeless. Nothing remains f he South ern States but to wait for th velopment of events in the political world, to turn their at tention entirely and earne to the development of their material reso . Their needs at this moment are ind 1. They require to re naseltate their culture, their commerce, their masnufcture They need to make cotton and corn, an 0acco, and rice ; to reorganize their in dogtJsystem, and to prepare for their future iey in the new path which events have marked ,dt for them. For the moment, it is of very little consequence to us that a Louisiana Senator be on hand to rebut Smuser's maliioous accusations against the South, or that a Virginia representa tive be permitted to cast a vote against Stevens's reconstruction programme. The overflow in Louis iana does us infinitely more harm than all the Re publican phlllipplcs that are uttered arainst us in Congress; and an average cotton crop would do us far more good than fifty speeches in the Capitol. We repeat that what we want is industry, labor and population. Give us enough of these and we can stand a goodly share of radical tyranny. Leave us without them, and the privilege of vot ing in Congress would avail us very little, and when we say that we want population we use the wordin norestricted sense. We do not, it is true, want the kind of people whomn Sumner and Stevens would send among us-political emissaries, hired spies and informers, wicked instruments of a base and wickedpurpose ; hut we do wish thoae who cometo labor in any way whatever, to cultivate the soil, to establish factorips, or. to invest capital in mercantile pursuits. We want them whether they ,comnefeo.en-gland or California, from Germany eNeow England. Sack people will ptways be sure of a hearty welcome i6tny part or the South. We have been induced to make these remarks by reading an article in a Northern paper, advis ing persons tina.tt section'to emigrate tothe South,,.and atajng, the advaptages which are offe~~ ti them m thdi part of the country. That paper says t thratthose who have already come here ts *1ih~f ..av ' used reasontble judgment In selecting a· d stacking plantations," have sent back encouraging repbrts: "The inducements," nimarksthajouraal from which we quote, "to em ir ,ii Wtee eent rise, remain about the same as t the tginnatg pLthe year.. There is no immedi ate prspect of a material decline in the price of Catten and there is much good land ready for the plow, lying uncultivated, awaiting capital and laborto make it produlti.e. * " Most plentati6ns not now under cultivation are destitute of everything but good soil and an abudatoe e.,al.t. T' he requirements to con oartheis tontse are, first of all, capital--atleast S5000, with which to procure anotetppolr.ten laborps, lxýummleg, tlee plows, two wagons, and small implepatsepip seta, of,hlf a dozen each, for every hundred acres of land to be cultivated. In possepaigno thefe:moey, the planter can procure all the other atfoiles in the South. There is no oaetlty of labqr; pptprpriing mrWtghpte have shipped to every Southern city and considerable - -e tplantatlon sntpplies of every kind,' and droves of mules, from. Texas and tile West, are 'ig9a3r-iid t aeve'ry chnif ild paidse where inere Is ioy to buy thema." The same paper then goeson o' nsay that ".in the Southern States, as elseliere, some sections are settled, by intelligent, Industrious and law abidlpeS&piple, whow ould gldly.welcome men ab - the. orth who come with capital and indus try to cultivate the soil.; Other portions of the .eouantry yre.,settled by ignorant, self-conceited iraggarts, who affect to despise honest labor, and are hostile to any aid all who by precept or ex anipleS.-su counter -to their' own narrow notions. It will notbet difficult to pidkoeut the desirable compuanities; they are found in almost every one ofthesotton States, and will readily be distin guished by an intelligent agent who may be sent out to select a place for the formation of a settle ment. Georgia, Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana and Texas are settled in all their Aost fertile and desirable tracts by a hospitable people. In Cen tral Alabama, from Montgomery to Gainesville, on the Tombigbee river, is one of those localities where both the people and the soil would be acceptable. On Bayou Bieof, in Louisiana, and, if the overflow can be prevented, on Bayous De Glaze and Teche, and in the Red River country, from Alexandria to the Texas line, the inhabitaats tould rejoiced a the opportunity to revive the prosperity of their beautiful garden-like countries by the aid of .orthert capital and soll." We have puposely abstained from naming the paper in which thiese remarks appear for fear of exciting the, selpioinos and incredulity of our readers; but, when we inform them that the jour nal in question is the New York Tribune, they will wonder how it happened that so much trutd, and o mouch good sense could have been admitted into columns which are daily devoted to the task of proving that the Southern people are all a set of assassins among whom the life of a Yankee is not rotth'i minute's purchase.' For months the Tri. bane hba been replete with stories of Southern "disloyalty," Southern barbarism, Southern hatred of negroes and of Northern men, all intended to prove the absolute unfitness of the white people of the Souath to govern themselves, and the neces sity of subjecting them to the regime of a radical directory and the freedmen's bureau. Now we are told that " Georgia, Alabama, Ar kansas, Louislana and Texas are settled in all their most fertile and desirable tracts by a hospitable people," and that "Central Alabama, from Mont ismery to Clarksville, is one of those localities where both the people and the soil would be ac hapale ;*' and that on the bayous of Louisiana, sad in the " Red River country from Alexandria to lae.a4 lie, the inhabitants would rejoice at the oprpolptitq rervive the prosperity of their beaun ifnl gatdeaJa.tcountries by the aid of Northern ipieiid kill" That Ie to sa,,thoas districts in whiohthe Confederate qause was strongest and 4l11siLa dthatthp people are even now bny eetom moreing till night in slaying negroes elg..n-Tankee, am precIsely the dis tr.iWltskllishltm ost dirable for a Northern man to bring hi pp9q7994 4 blppapitah.

A GENEROUS FOE. tcwtt S:mith, the writer of tent very able' letter to Clhief Justice Chals w.fch we publlished yesterday, is a man of note ,aid charact ,r. Itt lather. Peter S S Smith, we a pioneer of entral i New York and travoed ol foot with a peddler'h pack through f, re0a where Utica and other popu !ou, cities noov niel I. and over ludian trails which !he magic oFI'roroess has turned into lines ofi buty rai ud. He was industrious and thrifty, and sow began trading and speculating on a wider scaic. Foreseeing the future he bought at a small price vast quantities of wild lands which have ever since grown in value. He became very wealthy, a millionaire, at a time too when the owner of a million dollars was deemed more of a prodigy than in these latter days of petroleum and army contracts. Gerritt Smith inherited this magnificent property together with much of the father's talent and native vigor. He graduated at Hamilton College with honor, studied law and was about to commence practice, but soon found that the care of his property would not suffer him to attend to much other professional business than that in which he was directly interested. Fromn time to time, however, he was employed in a few very important suits. His speeches and writings show a lack of that thorough discipline and gladiatorial vigor which long years of laborious practice at the bar commonly give, but the lack is in part compensated by the effects of a diffuse reading in the classics of all countries and of muchJleisure devoted to philosophical studies. In tastes and habits he was aristocratic in the un popular sense of the word. He was finely formed, uncommonly handsome-with a voice combining depth and sweetness, stentorian, organ-toned--a thorough elocutionist and an accomplished speaker.' Yet, on account of his independence and impracticability, he never exercised much in iioence over the Federal party of whose prmci ples he was a devoted adherent: Judging from his subsequent fanaticism it is presumable that he was altogether too sincere for a successful poh ticiau. From the very first outbreak of epidemic aboli tionism, Gerritt Smith became oue of its subjects. The idea seemed to take entire possession of him. and his name has ever since been inseparable from the history of that strange party. When the party was but a faction, scarcely numbering a cor. poral's guard in a whole county, Smith gave it time, labor and large sums of money. He was always liberal in the use of his wealth, which he had no desire to increase; but he was especially lavish in his donations for propagating abolition tenets. He was one of the leading spirits of the party, and only began to take a secondaryposi tion when it became a political power with spoils and onices to bestow. The giant shook tte tree, but partizan monkeys devoured the fallen fruit. Once, however, in '53, Smith wassent to Congress, and served one session. At Washington, his ac complished manners, entertaining conversation and liberal hospitality attracted notice, by con trast with the lower grade of Black Republican members. He was much esteemed by some Sooutern members for his purity of character and his accomplishments as a scholar and an orator, and they doubtless believed that he would have been a great man, except for the puritanic infatn ation of abolitionism. He soon resigned, some what disgusted with his Northern confreres, most of whom were as far below his level in learning and morals as they were his superiors in political trichkdry. Gerritt Smith was enttirely philanthropic in disposition, and might have accomplished great works of real benevolence but for the mania for negro emancipation which possessed him. He was also Wholly sincere and honest. His letter to Judgo Chase illustrates both these traits. Eman oipation accomplished has realized the dream of his life-time. Satisfied with the result of the war, he pleads eldquently for fair dealing, charity and magnuailmtty towards the conquered. Had all abolitionists been like him, the matter would have been settled v ithout bloodshed. The Environs of New Orleans. NUCMER SEVENTY-SEVEN. In a former number we related in what manner the first railroad in Louisiana, and if we are not much out of the reckoning, one of the first rail ways in the world, was laid down, to-wit: the railroad of Lake Pontchartrain. As we then said, it was by General Bernard, who, as chief engineer of the fortification department at Washington, had been sent to Louisiana, in order to establish the present communication between the river Missis sippi and the G(ulf lakes, behind New Orleans. and the adjoining parishes. Had not this railway taken the place of the projected canal, we would have had, in all likelihood, a direct communication by water from the shores of our river to the wvaters of the Mexican Gulf. But, although this water route has, so far, been delayed to the pre sent time, we see no reason why such a feasible communication should not now be commenced : and we have not the least doubt that if asuch an imposing authority as that of General Beauregard would put itself at tihe head of such an enterprise, the thing could easily be brought about. Such an undertaking would offer quite other inducements than that of deepening the months of the Miissis sippi for the accommodation of the shipping and outward navigation; for, with regard to the latter enterprise-we mean the forming of an association for the freer navigation of the river outlets-it may be questionable, as the general himself ad mits, whether such a corporation would eventually turn out a profitable concern. Not only because the work of keeping the chan nel open for deep-going vessels would be a per manent one, and every season to be renewed, but there are other considerations which might render the general undertaking, as one that could be dispensed with, in case that a different plan to obviate the difficulty should be finally a successful one. This plan, some years ago, already sug gested to our commerce, consists in employing what are termed camels, or a sort of floatiog warves, which being stationed in the neighbor hood of the Balize, orthe Southwest Pass, would be towed towards the deep-going vessels, be conve niently fastened to them, and by means of steam power lifted out of the water and thus bring over the bar those ships that would draw more than the ordinary depth of water, say fifteen or sixteen feet. We have seen this plan enunciated in some publialtions years ago, and it is some what surprising to us that such an apparently easy and feasible mode of conveyance should not already have found an association of enterprising mer chants and ship owners to put it in execution. We have seen by the erec tion of floating dry docks at Algiers, on the other side of the river, that we can employ the steam power, in properly constructed contrivances, to lift out of the water almost any mass or weight whatever. Now then, it seems to us, that boats could be constrated in aunl a manner as to act at once as the mighty towboat, which brings up a whole fleet of vessels at its poop,- and with the acompanyipg power of liftiog up some four, five, or six feet in the water, such sea going vessels, either entering or issuing from the mouths of the Mlisissippi, and in thin manner transport them over the bar. The premises of the steam power to operate in such a proces of uplifting water, craft, and proeeeding with them, once admitted, it telowa that the rest in merely a matter for the engineer's constreation of the necessary succour boats or vessels, styled the camels, or lightening steamers. We shalf, however, for the present, once more raara ta am primitive object-that is, thexcavating of fy,"ter communication in the lower section of our metropolis, from the river to the lake, jolting or commingling with the waters of the Gulf. Our readers need not be told over again the many fair reasons which we have in for mer statements already enumerated. There is. however, this now toebo added to what we then observed, to-wit: that, at the present day, eameling still offers inducements for trans ports and conveyances, which railroad estab lishments cannot wholly supply, and that is the greater cheapness of water conveyance generally, even upon excavated watercourses or canals. To understand the subject properly we need but look rIon tihet ,rm n,,t e r : i avitat rt Tihe wato, by .a'' 'td! it t11d te e icd i that o ace, ',sall th ehteap'er' exlrrer'i tin tten r rlode, or I ermloyinrg cailig crrit, we rnay yet expect the calllieitirn to be h kept up folr anb cst e"111 nniittuted slpace of timre. T'here are variL reasns thatio will continue to give the prferencell to sailin vessels for tie transport of produce, although that nlmoe Mny be a nch numore tardy one; and then again, there are :r great many localities that can be better acourltodated by tile ordinary wa ter craft than thie steam vessel or steam ships. lHence a canalr that should open eom uoication from tle river to the Gulf waters by the back route, would find a host of customers, and wouol pay extremely well. Let such men as General Beauregard take this matter in hand, and tthere will be soon an assotiation formed to come to the rescue of tile lower town section, and rendering most prosperous the now comparatively torpid or stagnant region. Our attention has again been drawn to this subject in order to come to the rescue of that seemingly abandoned quarter of our parish, the lower subur ban limits towards the frontier line of the Parish of St. Bernard; that is to say, the vicinity of the United States barracks or quarters, near the Canal des Pecheurs, or the Fishermen's canal. As we already made mention in some former number, front this very point water communica:ion, by re opening this ancient canal with the Bayou or River St. Francis. commonly called the Bayou Bienvenu, would at once reestablish the formner facility of navigation into lako Borgne. For let it not lbe forgotten that the principal obstruction to ttle navigation of that title water course was caused by order of General Jackson, inl the year lll , so as to irevent tile advance of the enemy towar,'s the lower suburbs of our city. Were the channel again cleared of all the trunks. brush and old stumps norw obltreuctiele tie naviation of thisi stream, it woo'ld take ,out little more work to rott der the Canal de- iectheur,. capable of admitting water craft and small steamers, and by building a small wooden sluice at the levee of tile river, we would have dilect communication, at little ex pense, from the Mississippi to Lake Borgne. Such a plan does not exclude the one whrish content plated the estabhUshiog of a water basin and navi gable canal behind tho T.'Ird District. under the name of the Florida canal and basin: but we have mentioned the opening of the Canal des P'echeurs, and the Bayou Bienvena, as the scheme, tile most easily to be executed and inmmediately practciable and profitable to any association that would utder take such an object. There can be no doubt that such an association would, moreover, have an equitable and legal claim upon the Fe'!eral govern ment, whateverit might amount to, for,'the ex pense of re-opening and re-establishing the navi gation of Bayou Bieuvenu, which had been ob structed, as mentioned, in lot', by the order of the commanding general. Under such auspices, it is not to be doubted that men of means will be footnd in our midst to con tribute to an undertakiug that will infuseeand vital ize by an accelerated activity, the now persever ing but dull plodding industry which expends all its force in the cultivation of ields and gardens with a variety of vegetables and kitchen greens, all very wellin their line. but not sufficient to help on the general want for more active, more com mercial and industrial enterprizes. We hope, al though we have not particularly touched upon our local environs, that the topics treated of in this number have not been uninteresting to our readers, and have met with their general approval and assent.
