This Association has for its object to relieve the

portion of the Sonth which has preserved unshaken
itafldelity to the Flag of the United States.
u hen the question of secession was presented to
the people, in February, IS6I, East Tennessee gave
an overwhelming majority against it. In Sevier
county, out of a voting population of 1,457, only
one vote was pelled for secession. At this mo
ment there are, in the Federal unilorm, from the
county of Roane, more men in arms than there
•were voters in ifico.
The young; men of East Tennessee are now fight
ing for their country and our country. The n old
men, women, and cbildrenV whether within the
± ederal or the rebel lines, are naked, deatitut*,aml
almost starving,the contending armies havin«-four
times passed over their unhappy country, leaving
devastation in theiij track. * ’ s

To practically carry out the ■ requisite
pleasures to advance national industry
was thought in the dayß of -«slaveocracy”
to be entirely below the dignity ot “politics.”
More than thirty years ago, when Louis Na
poleon declared that there were only two
countries in the world which were advancing
to perfection—America and Russia—he pointed
out the fact that the latter did so directed by a
policy, and the former simply under the sponta
neous impuls sof liberty. Liberty is tar more
glorious than despotism; but it loses none of
its freedom or energy from' being wisely and
healthily, organized. A very , few men at
M ashington,appointed to direct the tremendous
aid of Government to certain useful aims, can
in a few weeks effect more than thousands,-in
the course of years,laboring at random through
the country. Therefore I have said—and this
brings me to Mr. Orth’s proposed bill—that
while it is a recognized tact that in no country
has unaided individual industry ever wrought
such wonderful results as in America, it is, on
the other hand, not less true that there never
ras witnessed elsewhere, such enormous waste
of capital, be it of means, of brains, or of la
bor, for want of that cd-ordination of interests
which it is in the power of States directed by
central bureaux to supply. The effect of such
Bureaux or Industry would he a judicious study
ol the inaustrial iuterests of the country at a
joint centre, which is at present partially, but
most imperfectly, carried out.
Starting with the great principle that indus
try is the corner-stone of free institutions,
Mr. Ch th proposes To group into one, and a
new, department of the Government:
Now with all respect to those who
I amazed at Patent Office Reports,
hardly provided for at all by Govern
ment, compared to what might and is
to be There js not an intelligent prac
tical farmer in America who will not appreciate
the va§t impetus which could be given to agri
culture by an enlarged study of its interests
and relations throughout the country, and bv
the facilitation of legislation on such subjects.
Bc hEAU OF FREEDHEN’S AFFAIRS.
i , Tl ' e P r °™ce of this bureau is that by which
four millions of Jiuman beings “now i : n thei
Providence of God restored irom Slavery to
Life, can be taught the means of self-suste
nance, and he protected by Government as the
guardian protects his ward.” In fact this sub
ject is daily assuming such overwhelming
portions, that even without Mu. Orth’s grand
system of co-ordinating the Industrial Policy
of Government, it must have compelled the
establishment of a special bureau, or its equi
valent. In connection with the Freedmen’s'
Bureau, the wisdom of instituting an Agricul
tural Bureau becomes self-evident.

PHILADELPHIA? TEURS
MR. ORTH’S BUREAUX OR INDUSTRY.
BY CHAEDES GODFREY DELAND.
Hon. G. S. Orth, of Indiana, has intimated,
by motion in the House of Representatives, his
intention to present a bill for the purpose of
establishing Bureaux of Industry , the object
of which wjll be greatly to facilitate our Gov
ernment in developing the resources of the
country, and to stimulate Free Labor iu every
form by removing many obstacles from its
course and presenting many inducements to its
advance.
Having for, many years earnestly cherished
the hope that the development of national ‘ in.
duatry and the power of free labor would
soon reach that point when the creation of
such an organization as this must become in
evitable, and having frequently published my
conviction to that effect, I would now earnestly
entreat every true friend of free labor to give
his attention to the measure proposed. Let it
once be made known by the press and fairly
comprehended bf the public, and it cannot fail
to he hailed with acclamation-by every honest,
practical, thinking man in the country.
More than a year ago, when the opponents
of the Administration—and with them not
a few short-sighted friends—were clamoring
for a manifestation of a decided “policy”
from Abraham Bincoln, I prepared, and sub
sequently published,'a pamphlet, the object of
which was to show that, apart from a vigorous
prosecution of the war, the only policy possible
to our government was that of the development
of national and individual industry on a grande r
and more vigorous scale, and more thoroughly
than had ever yet been attempted. And as I
believe that certain views in this pamphlet
directly illustrate the very broad principles on
which Mr. Orth’s bill will be based, I take the
liberty Of citing them.
The present struggle between disintegrative
States Rights and federal Unity (or Republi
canism) is also a war between the joint interests
of capital and tree labor on one part, and capi
tal in its harshest and most limited form on the
other.
These joint interests of capital and of labor
Tot 1 a vigorous central representation and
administration, devoted to the constant devel
opment of national wealth and industry in
every form. There is a certain step in Repub
lican progress when all idle discussion of
abstract theories by professional politicians
(such as are agitated .by the “copperhead”
leaders of the day) must give place to substan
tial work, and to principles based on facts and
Ccures. We have .reached that point. This
industrial policy,which Urges the firmest union
States and unity of power and action, also
demands the development and supply of certain
demands of free labortc/iicA shall have the effect
of strengthening the power of the people in due
proportion as their government shall be strength-\
ened. In a few words, let the people make
their government great and strong, and let
government reciprocate bv unwearied efforts to
employ, and educate the people.
1- —■■4 BUREAU OF AGRICULTURE.
OUR
WHOLE COUNTRY.
t. A
It is apparent—etujugh* that by means of a
Bureau regulating thoSiomestic demand for
labor and the foreign supplK taken in connec
tion with our Ilomestead TOIL our population
may be increased, and that almost entirely in
our uncultivated regions, to an incalculable
amount. It would be in one respect a vast in
telligence office, and should be authorized and
enabled to transfer, free of expease, from their
ports of departure fromj Europe, all emigrants
ulioi will contract to settle in the conquered
rebel west of the Mississippi.
These are the Bureaux proposed by Mr.
Orth. I would suggest that he adds to them a
Bureau of Instruction, or of Education, which
shall be devoted to collecting and dissemi
nating information on its specialty and
, 10 extensively reducing it to a prac
tice. Such a Bureau would do much
goed in encouraging the collection of statistics,
in aiding the press, and in imparting culture in
many forms to tjld as well as young. I would
ttrge, indeed, that this bureau is essential to the
completion of the scheme, and am sustained in
soUoing by the belief that the wisest of Ameri
cans also thought so. No one can, I think,
read carefully Washington’s Farewell Address
tvithout perceiving that what lay near his heart
was the principle that to maintain “a govern
ment for the whole” and “ a unity in govern
ment” we must adopt an industrial policy, and
that itagreat. support of this would bo educa
tion.
Mr. Orth has, even by proposing this reform!
merited such-honor as few men win. Admit
ting an Industrial Policy to be the true ouo for
our government, It follows that the system of
central Bureau of Industry is inevitably its
next step. The passage of his bill is like that
of Emancipation ; something * Which must be
sooner or later, in the natural course of events
—hut the sooner the better. He has planned,
next to the great .work of the President, the
proudest monument of the great free-labor
movement of the day. Such “motions” move
nations, if not mcio-dramatically, a la secession,
at least tbeeply, and to great ends. His constit
uents may well be proud of their representative
for they have in him one who works with hear
and soul to bring about the aim of the purest
Republicanism—“ The greatest good for the
greatest number.” /

and the plug taken out from her sea-cock. We im
mediately despatched our two carpenters on board
witff a force pump, and means to repair. In a
spoit time she was reported safe, and to be q nite
free from water. The engineer (Mr. Burns), on
charge of her engine, fonnd less than one
cock of water in her boiler, with 35 pounds pres
sure of steam, and the safety valve fastened down.
It is evident that they intended to destroy her, and
would have accomplished it had we not so quickly
discovered their work. ,
Her officers and crew, on being taken aboard of
us, and learning that they had been captured by
an unarmed transport, were somewhat vexed, and
said, * *had they been aware of the fact, they would
have given us much .more trouble.’ * Whatever
they rnight have known would have favored them
but little, ns our captain was intent on capturing
or sinking her. _
After proper preparation we took her in tow for
Key West; arriving: there on the 29th, 7 A.M. On

been very -imperfectly understood, even by the
best informed. Neither have we much studied
the use of mines as a means of developing other
capital than that which is drawn directly from
them.- Sever<al years ago, when the Govern
ment of Russia was said to be desirous ot
rapidly developing its Pacific coast, encouraged
by an eminent Russian publicist, I addressed
to the directors of the Amur Company, who
were understood to be desirous of attracting
suggestions on ..the subject, a - memorial,
pointing out the probability that the free
throwing open of the enormously productive
and badly-worked Siberian gold mines (vide
Haxtijausen’s Russian Empire, vol. 2) to
..Americans would most promptly improve the
country, and certainly build up a seaport worth
far more than the gold taken away. Of this
memorial many thousand copies in Russian'
were circulated. But whether applied in Sibe
ria or not, the principle is still open to admin
istrative action in America. It is very far from
extravagant to anticipate that through such a
Bureau vast streams of wealth would flow into
the National Treasury, possibly in a few years,
even to the extinguishment of our Nationa
Debt.

An Invaluable Household Institution.—
The Grover &. Baker Sewing Machine, from its
acknowledged superiority over ail others in use.
has become an indispensable article ol use in every
family, Not to have a Sewing Machine is to be
behind the age, and it is scarcely less so tohave
any other than the celebrated Grover <fc Baker in
strument, for the reason that it performs a variety
of elegant sewing which.no other instrument does,
and because it is theonly Sewing Michine eyer-in
vented which thoroughly and satisfactorily meets
every requirement of a family in the sewing line
For these reasons the sales of the Grover* Baker
Machines in this city, and throughout tie Union,
are greater, probably, thanthoseef any otherthree
Sewing Machine establishments. So greatly is the
demand lor them increasing, at their elegant ware
rooms, ho. 730 chestnut street, that for the better
accommodation of their patrons. Mr. Eddy, the ef
ficient agent of this Company, has recently added
a store to his present one, fronting on Eighth
street, giving his whole establishment the form of i
a triangle. The Eighth street store will be em
ployed mainly for repairing, settingnp, receiving,
delivering, and storing machines. We had occa
sion some time ago to speak of the enormous sales
of these machines during the month of December. .
We have since learned that they have been very
nearly equaled in January. , Every one should
call at 730 and see these unparalleled' Machines in
operation. !
