TAB ELEMENTS OP PROGRESS.
In our issue of Wednesday we pointed
out in a general way the great backward
ness of the South, as compared with the
North, in her material improvements, and
especially ia the cew methods of agricul
ture, improved implements, and wonderful
labor-saving machines, which hare cum*
verted farming from a drudgery into al
most a pastime, and made it on the whole
the most profitable business in the country.
We alpo mentioned the fact that the re
markable progress of the North, as com
pared with the South, has resulted from
precisely the same causes as tho immense
average progress of all civilized countries
during the last fifty yeare compared with
the slow pace at which the world formerly
jogged on from ceitnry to century
Whoever will carefully study this matter
will see tbut the time and attention of the
great body oi the civilized portion of man
kind are no longer devoted to the useless
abstractions, the frivolous and profitless
pursuits, the seisms and broils, to the petty
feuds and almost perennial wars that fifty
years ago filled their thoughts and absorbed
their best energies, even if they did not
consume their substance and waste their
lives.
We remember well a religious contro
versy ia our own neighborhood in Centra!
New York, thirty years ago, that divided
the congregation into hostile factions,
caused the church doors to be barred, and
led almost to open hostilities, alienated
families and kindred, and for years ab
sorbed much of the time and thoughts of
the community. Not until three years ago
did the congregation again unite and con
sent to devote the time and meanB that
could be spared from their every day pur
suits to the practical wants of education,
local reforms, and the care of the orphans.
And wbat was the cause of this long
standing quarrel? Why , one part of this
Dutch Reformed congregation believed
literally in the doctrine of Election and
Predestination, while the eeceders main
tained that although all were condemned
to eternal punishment, still some might
possibly be saved by availing themselves
of the means of grace.
The most superficial observer can not, on
the contrary, fail to see that in the North,
and in the most advanced European coun
tries the time, the thoughts, the energies
and accumulated means oi multitudes of
people which were utterly thrown away
and wasted fifty yearn ago, are now largely
devoted to scientific and utilitarian pur
suits. and to those useful mechanic arts to
which we are indebted for out know
ledge of the secrets of nature, our
mastery in part of the elements, and our
ability to avail ourselves, even imperfectly,
of those great physical forces without the
aid of which man is weak and powerless
and helpless; without which he remains, in
fact, a barbarian.
So much from a comparison of the stir
ring times in which we live, with what oc
curred fifty years ago. Now, ii the same
comparison be extended between the North
and the houth, it will be seen that like
cases have produced like results. The
North represents the progress made, espe
cully in material interests; the South very
nearly represents the condition of things
that existed half a century ago. Slavery,
it is true, has been abolished, but the plant
ers, the dominant element of Southern so
ciety, still think, and speak, and act just
like slaveholders. We have to contend
against the false theories and practices that
have survived the fall of the institution it
self, and still act as a great moral force in
the minds of the people.
In the North the hard foil that fifty years
ago weighed down upon the shoulders of
the people has been lifted from them by
the skillful application of scientific knowl
edge and mechanic arts, and placed upon
wood and iron and coal. If the Yankee
has not yet quite succeeded in hitching his
wagon to a star, he has managed to make
the invisible but mighty forces of the
material world, such os steam ani elec
tricity, do the most and the hardest ef his
work, and thereby has found time for onl
ture and enjoyment. Northern towns and
cities are for the most part hives of in
dustry where the labor-power of the work
ing clans is multiplied a hundred, and per
haps a thousand, fold by the use of water
power, the steam engine, and all manner
of time and labor-saving machines. The
same thing is true of the cultivation of the
soil. Wheat and corn are raised almost
entirely by machinery. The hay crop of
the North, which Ls. and always has been*
worth more than the annual product of cot
ton, sugar, and rice in the South, now
requires only the supervision, not the labor
of man. The seed is sown with a drill;
the grass is cut by a mower, spread, raked,
pitched upon a wagon, and from the wagon
Into the bay mow by means of ingenious
implements.
Now so far as these great mutual inter
esta are concerned what is the actual con
dition of things in the South ? The cotton
gin is the only labor-saving machine ever
really adopted by the people. That was
inseparable from the growth, even the very
existence of the cotton interest With the
ption of the cotton gin the planters
confined themselves almost exclusively
to brute labor. They did not believe in
educated labor, and the result is now every
where visible. Ask any dealer in farm
implements aad ho will tell you how diffi
cult Ivfs to Introduce any improved ma
chine. Yç e planter* stUl stick to their
old sweeps scrapers, bull-tongue plows,

W/» will hereafter point out in detail the
mistakes of the South in these now all im
portant matters. We will discuss one by
one her false theories and erroneous prac
tices as to the ownership and cultivation of
the soil, as to her present labor system, the
movement and sale of her crops, etc. We
will show what magnificent results would
surely follow the introduction of new theo
ries and practices, and especially such as
have been tested by experience, and have
produced such splendid results on Northern
farms. All we wish to do now is to indi
cate the simple fact9. Is it at all wonder
ful that there should be overflowing grana
ries. wealth, powre, culture, leisure, art,
enjoyment in the North ? Bhall to* not
also have them here?
DAKGERTOTHE 80UTH.
Every right minded man who compre
hends the real condition of the Southern
Slates and their necessities, will admit that
a failure to convict President Johnson
would be calamitous to the loyal men el
the »South, and the worst possible thiDg
that could happen to the rebellious them
selves. Had it not been for the encourage
ment held out to disloyalty by Andrew
Johnson, the reconstruction of the Sonth
would long ago have been an accomplished
fact, and on a basis that would have
brought peace, order, and prosperity. It
is the delusive fate of Southern rebels never
to be able to comprehend the real situa
tion, but to scornfully reject terms
to-day which next year they will regret
were not accepted. Thiä has been the
whole history of reconstruction. The real
friends of the South admit that Andrew
Johnson has been its worst enemy, even
while flattering the people with hopes that
can never be realized. While advocating
the President the »Southerners place them
selves in a false position. They have from
the first looked upon him with suspicion
and distrust. What good has he ever done
them ? Their pretended adhesion to him
is only the last in their long list of mis
takes. The order, peace, and prosperity of
the South depend upon Mr. Johnson's con
viction. If Senators at Washington com
prehended the situation as we do in
Louisiana there would ;e no hesitation as
to the verdict.
MORE MÖRDERS.
We are reliably intormod that the Hon.
W. It. Meadows, of Claiborne parish, was
killed a few evenings since near his own
door by disguised men who claimed to be
long to the Ku-Klux Klan. He left his
house lor the purpose of feeding his stock,
was shot, and died immediately. Mr.
Meadows had been a soldier in the United
States army, and represented his parish in
the Constitutional Convention. He was au
ntelligent, quiet, peaceable gentlemen, but
had excited the enmity of the rebels of his
neighborhood by being active in favor of
the ratification of the Constitution.
We are also reliably informed that Cap
tain Twitchell, of Lienville parish, started
to go on horseback to Sparta. As he did
not return at the expected time a search
was instituted which resulted in finding
his horse aud saddle, bat nothing was seen
or learned oi the missing man. Fears are
entertained oi foul play, as Captain
Twitchell 7 » life has been repeatedly threat
ened. Those at all familiar with the Con
stitutional Convention can not have for
gotten a quiet, unobtrusive gentleman,
with the scar of a terrible wound on one
9ide of his face. That was Captain M. H.
Twitchell, from Bienville parish, who gal
lantly fought and was terribly wounded in
the I nion army for that peace and protec
tion which his government has failed to
give him.
Lawlessness, violence, and murders are
increasing in our country parishes, and
some remedy must be found, and immedi
ately, or the result will be too horrible to
contemplate. Surely it is time the Major
General commanding this district awoke
to the necessity of prompt and energetic
action to preserve the interest) of Louisi
ana, and the peace and good order of our
State.
PUBLIC COLORED SCHOOLS OF NEW OR
LEANS.
Mr. E. Stoddard, School Director of the
I'reedmen'a Bureau in Louisiana, has just
made a very complete inspection of the
public colored schools in the city. Accord
ing to the report submitted to the superin
tendent of education, Major Chase, there
are in New Orleans eighteen schools of this
kind, conducted by fifty-two teachers and
attended by 4403 pupils. It will be seen
that there is an average of eighty-five
scholars to the teacher, more than twice as
many as can be properly cared for. Want
of proper room and badly ventilated apart
ments are also complained of. The schools
are, however, well supplied with books,
Charts, etc.
Most of the teachers are complimented
for their assiduity, and the pupils are mak
ing commendable progress. Altogether
the prospect of education to the colored
children of New O •>* *q , ur _
aging. The neglect of the city authorities
to make the necessary appropriations is
given as the reason why the number of
colored schools in New Orleans has not
been increased. These eighteen schools
•wed their origin mainly to the Freedmen-s
Bnreau, and we are happy to mention their
continued usefulness and prosperity
ng the many benefits to the people of
Louisiana from its existence.

We call the attention of our readers to
the resolutions on the subject of impeach

enthusiastic meeting of ex-offiters and
soldiers and sailors of the United States
army and navy.

like an incubus over the community de
mand immediate and decisive action from

A noth mi Southern Ht story op thk Unit
ed States.—Wüi. Ï. McDonald und J. 8.
Blackburn, purporting to reside in Berry -
ville, Virginia, have sent us a prospectus of
a new school "History of the United States''
"the first ever written in the South," and
requested from us a favorable notice. The
prospectus embrace* a preface and extracts
from the forthcoming work. Were it not
that there is every appearance of sincerity
about this production, we should conclude
that it was intended as a clever burlesque
upon many of the now existing histories of
this, that, and the other, from a Southern
standpoint It appears that the controlling
motive for writing thiä book is not pecuniary
advantage, but to »how that the South has
'•been hoodwinked for so long a time in
the matter of grammars and readers.-'
Th*) authors, for ihere appears to be two
of them, have made the astounding dis
covery that Abolitionism in its most viru
lent form has for years lurked in the pages
of the puritanic*! reprints of Lindley
Murray. Olney's geography and Daboll's
arithmetic were perfect magazines of in
cendiary sentiment», but so covertly in
troduced that it required the acumen of
these modern sages to find it out. After
disposing of the whole library of puritan
histories, including Hale, Sparks, Bancroft,
Peter Parley, and the like, w ith obo grand
wave of their pens, these Berryville Xene;
phons proceed to give us extracts from
such a history as Southern youth should
study. The extract« before us treat of the
founding of Jamestown, -The Beginning of
Negro Slavery," -Slavery the Natural
State of the Negro,' "Origin of Abolition
ism," "The Struggle Between the Sections,'*
The Hartford Convention," " Jefferson
Davis," *'Tbe Boat at Manassas," "South
ern Women," "The Battle of Shiloh," and
Death of General Johnson." There are
a great many excessively stupid things in
these extracts, but nothing new that Ls true.
We recommend these gentlemen to invest
their means in a modern hoe, and turn
their attention to raising onions. Litera
ture is evidently not their forte.
Wc shall publish to-morrow a communi
cation from Judge Weinple, of Mansfield,
Louisiana, explaining the action of the citi
zens of the parish in reference to Repub
lican organizations and Union men there.

Thalberq'i Concxbt in Albany. - Thalberg
aaed on this oocaaion, and also the next evening at
Troy, one of the new Grand Pianos of Boardman
Gray à Co., and repeatedly expressed himself as de
lighted with it, both in tone and touch. At the
ee of each ooncert, he found the instrument in
nplete tune without even an imperfect unison.—

Rev. J. B. Hague, Principal ef the Hudson Festal*
icademy and author of the beautiful Cantata, "The
Return of Spring," so favorably noticed in tho New
York Musical World, writes:
Hudson.
I hare had f à daily as*, for several years, in th*
Hudson Femal* Academy, th* Piano Fortes *f
Boardman, Gray A Co. With the most abundant op
portunities for thoroughly testing them in every
respect, I can speak with unqualified approbation in
their praise. For durability, strength, standing in
tune, and for those qualities generally so desirable in
Piano Fortes subjected te severe and constant usage
I consider them nnexcelied by any which have been
brought to my notion. I most cordially recommend
them to all, and particularly to those who may be in
tores ted in procuring, for schools and academies
instruments of a superior character.
SplO'67 ly JOHN B. HAGUE.
Thalbeho in ALBANY.-Th* New York Musics
World speaks as follows *
Tbe Piano used on this occasion was a Grand, from
th* warerooms of Messrs. Boardman, Gray A Co., of
that city. Mr. Thalberg secured the instrument also
for his concert in Troy, th* following evening. It
tne same one so highly praised by Gottaoh&lk
and Btxakoseh. whan they gave their concerts to
Albany.
Graham's Illustrated Magazine in an article ea the
"Origin, history and manufacture of the Piano
Forte," pays th# following compliment :
A most gratifying proof of the superiority ef
Messrs. Boardman, Gray A Oa s Piano Fortes is
found In th* fact that both thsir elegant Squares and
magnificent Grands have been sought for and puo
lidy used, not only by the beet of American pianist*
also by nearly all the great artists who hav*
visited this oountry. Thalberg, Gotteohalk, William
Mason, Strakoech, Jenny Lind, Catharine Hayes and
many others ha born* pubiio testimony to thei
great and acknowledged merit in the most flattering
