FKIDAY, : : : : OCT. 9, 1874
WOEK.
When the curse was pronounced
upon man for his first disobedience,
it contained one feature that, from
the way it has always been attempt
ed to be evaded, seem3 to be espec
ially abhorrent to human nature.
Man seems not so averse to the al
ienation from purity caused by the
fall, nor to the fact that he was made
thereby a mortal, but the fiat that
" by the sweat of thy brow shalt
thou eat bread," seems to hate been
in his estimation the gist of the
curse, its sharpest thrust, which he
has been constantly endeavoring tft
guard against since that sorrowfu
day when the grieving angel led our
banished father and mother from
their happy Eden. But as surely
as it was pronounced so surely is it
true, and all human efforts have
been futile to accomplish anything
without work. Nihil tine magna
labore.
The truth of the proposition is
too apparent to require discussion.
Numerous instances can be shown
of men of most brilliant genius ac
complishing nothing for themselves,
their country or society, Bimply be
cause they wanted the quality of
application, while on the other hand
a slow, dull plodder, the diligent
worker, has stood at the head of the
nation's affairs and been the bene
factor of his generation in his dis
coveries and useful applications in
the sciences and arts; Nor is it
alwavs the land where the sun
shines brightest and vegetat
grows most readily that we find the
richest and most powerful people,
but in those climes where the bars
renness of the soil necessitates work,
and work developes full manhood
Th? poverty of rugged, rocky Scot
land is not half so great a3 that of
sunny fertile Italy, and the wealth
of Mexico, where the soil is rich in
alkaline earths and vegetation grows
with but little cultivation, is not to
be compared tu that of Massachus
cus, vvaere tne siuiiiiv ot tne soil.
rendered work, hard work, and
close economy necessary.
This matter assumes a deep polit
ical importance when applied to our
own country. A large number of
the present generation of the South
were reared amidst the institution of
slavery and were possessed of con
siderable wealth. The consequence
was a development, of a character
noble and chivalric and well suited
to their then condition, but lament
ably unsuited to an age of stirring
activity and a state of comparative
poverty.- Formerly manual labor
was unnecessary with us and the
ambition very properly soared high
er, now our wealth is gone and we
must begin where our fathers did,
at the bottom round, and work up,
or we may live to see the South a
desert and our posterity a race of
vagabonds. No honest work there
fore should make a man feel degra
ded, but rather should make him
feel proud that he is a producer and
not a drone in his community.
Public sentiment should be properly
educated from thinking a well dress
ed swindler superior to an honest
laborer. Superficiality should be
discarded and credit awarded real
merit. Idlouess should be looked
upon as a disgrace and all hone-it
work made honorable. The vounsr
men of he country should not be
trained up to think they can ac
quire money in any other manner
than by labor. These things are
not impractical, but on the contra
ry do exist in certain portions of
our country, anl the result is wealth
and independence.

THE INDUSTBIAL MOVEMENT.
The last issue of the New York
South contains the following which
we lay before our readers :
In pursuance of a plan set forth
in previous issues of this jonrnal to
the effect that on securing the do
nation of a suitable tract of land
near the coast in Virginia, or the
Carolinas, and conveniently acces
sible by rail and "water, an Indus-
trial v;oiony win oe esiauueucu, nc
would most earnestly urge all inter
ested to communicate such informa
tion as they may possess. Parties
having lands they are wining to
donate are requested to eive us the
particulars. If immediate arrange-
ments can be made tor ue tana we
are at liberty to announce that ac
tive operations will begin at once
and as a result the section securing
this colonv is destined to speedy
improvement. It is to be nopea

that the nigh mutual Denenis xo
come from this movement, will stim
ulate to prompt action. Full de
tails of the plan will be given on ap
plication.
MOOSE'S CBEEX BATTLE.
A correspondent in the Wilming
ton Journal advocates a centennial
celebration at the battle ground of
Moore's Creek. He says :
To eive expression to our pride
and to manifest our devotion, why
need we repair to old Mecklenburg
or to the Philadelphia Centennial
when we have a place among us oi
equal interest, a place hallowea oy
tradition and made mcmoraoie in
the history of the Revolution.
allude to Moore's Creek Battle
Ground. . Why not have a eenttn
nial celebration there f The battle
field is on a high bluff up the creek,
at the bridge where the road from
Lillington to Point Caswell crosses;
it is about five miles from Lilling
ton, two from Point Caswell and
about seventeen from Wilmington
Theodore Tilton and Francis D
Moulton were officially notified
Monday of the indictments found
against them by the Grand Jury
for libel and slander against Mr.
Beecher. iiail in each case was
fixed at three thousand dollars.
This will be one of the most in
teresting trials ever upon the docks
et9 of the courts of this country,
engrossing perhaps as much of pub
lie notice as the memorable trial o
Aaron Burr. Most eminent coun
sel has been employed on both sides
Senator Conkling leading that
the prosecution. It, is thought the
venue will be changed from Brook
lyn to perhaps Albany and that the
trial will consume two or three
weeks.
The New York Tribune says that
it. i a noteworthy fac tta on tho
19th of May, 1873, when Senator
Matt Carpenter, being present,
made a speech to the people of New
Orleans, saying,among other things,
that McEnery had been fairly elec
ted Governor, and urging them to
be patient and hopeful till the meet
ing of Congress, when their wrongs
should be redressed if, in no other
way, by a new election he received
a fee of $1,000 from Kelloggxto de
fend his usurpation before the Su
preme Court ! Remarkable, very !
The Memphis Cotton Exchange,
from numerous reports on the cotton
crop in Tennessee, Alabama, Mis
sissippi and Arkansas, estimates
that in these States, from the blight
ing effects of the recent severe
drought, the aggregate yield will
be about fortyfive per cent, less
than thatof last year.
Next Tuesday the following States
and Territories hold elections, all
general or nearly general : Iudiana,
Ohio, Arkansas, Iowa, Nebraska,
West Virginia and Dakota. Octo
ber 14, Georgia eUcts a Legisla
ture and Congressmen.
The municipal elections in Con
necticut on Monday were founded
on local issues and show no positive
political chaDges. The Democrats
have more than held their own.

Some of the finest rifle shooting
ever witnessed was in a match be
tween a team of Irish marksmen who
came to this country by invitation,
and a team of Americans, at Creed-
moor last week. The distance was
1000, 9004 and 800 yards. On the
1000 and 900 the Irishmen were
ahead, but the Americans led them
on the 800. Out of 1865 points the
Americana won by only three.
The Churchinan is severe upon the
clergy of the country. It says that
all over the land there are man claim

who have their circle, little or great,

Their sermons are only bo many

The swindled . depositors in the

friends was the meanest kind of rob
bery, and only finds a paralled in the

bounty money due to their dusky
clients, pat it in their own pockets and
suddenly disappeared.
