•VRR «K AC ARKS O* THI FINANCIAL
SITUATION—IT* CAFSBS AND
ITS CURB.
Many crude notions are prevalent, even
among men who are looked to for intelligent
advice, upon the financial stringency that
now embarrasses the conntry. A few remarks,
therefore, the result of some thought and a
careful observation of tho current of events,
may not be wholly without value at the pres
ent time.
Our first observation is, that the Federal
Government is primarily responsible for the
existing state ot affairs: First, by tilt- substi
tution of its own credit—which is without de
finable limits—for gold and silver, as a basis
lor currency and all the banking operations ot
the country; second, by its encouragement,
by charters, subsidies, land grants and in
dorsements of bond** of visionary and corrupt
schemes ol internal improvement set onf*ot
for individual thrift, und not required by the
be>t interests of the public. Having com
plete control of the currency,it bos allowed its
issue in redundant quantities, (*) thus requir
ing it to setk investment and uses outside ot
the safe and legitimate business of the coun-
try, giving rise to wild speculations and an
inflation of values which must some day col
lapse, to the ruin of all, and more especially
those who have speculated on a credit.
The volomo of the currency should be only
sufficient for tho transaction of the regular,
legitimate business of the country, and the
a haste to get rich, which are possitive curses
at the South.
The habits of display and dissipation that
have taken possession of both our women and
onr men—the couquered,impoverished South,
aping tho extravagance and fashions of the
triumphant, money bloated North—is a sad
spectacle indeed.
But we regard the Bonth, with all her mis
takes and follies, as in a far better condition
than the North. The mania tor speculation
has not raged here as it has there. We have
a powertnl weapon with which to battle with
financial troubles in our cott«»n crop, worth
three hundred millions in cash assets, and,
as fortuoo would have it. it is all ou hand at
the commencement of the war. With such
an agency, men in all departments of indus
try who have conducted their business with
reasonable sagacity and prudence, will come
out unscathed from tho fight. Those who
have not, would come to grief anyway, panic
or no panic, and their fall is not likely seri
ously to affect tho general welfare.
There is one encouraging fact peculiar to
this revulsion, and which should bo taken in
to account in making onr calculations of tho
future: Thorn can be no loss from depreciated
or worthless bonk bills, which did so much
harm in the panics of past years. Tho green-

motives that prompt Mnj. L. to tiiis course
are noble and honorable. He finds in Judge
Collier the embodim* nt of all tho principles

ter it will be for the general welfare. The ex
isting troubles North having originated in a
redundant currency, and its consequent reck*
le*s speculation, while a temporary relief
might bo afforded by the government step
ping forward and adding suddenly to its vol
ume, as is earnestly solicited by the banks, it
would only end in an increase of the evil by
perpetuating the ventnres that have brought
it on tho country. Y'ou can nevor perma
nently remove an effect by upholding the
can>o that produced it.
The permanent scarcity cf money at the
South may bo cited ns militating against our
theory of a redundant circulation, but it is in
nowise impaired thereby. Wo of tho South
get our full share ot the circulation annually,
aud that without cramping the trade and
commerce of the North. Our cotton crop
alone, brings us uuuualiy about three hun
dred millions of dollars—nearly one-half the
entire circulation of the country. The trouble
arises from the faev that we do not keep it.
Through our false policy it is mortgaged au-
nnalty in advance, and a largo proportion of
it—enough to create a scarcity—slips through
our fingers as soon as it is received, and goes
back to the North. And for what? To pay
for that which the South should make and
do at home. The pockets of Western
ATLANTA As ivvllUfl HARKKC.
The Savannah Advertiser of a late date cop
ies the Herald’s cotton statement showing
that on the 12th Atlanta had received nearly
•>,000 bales of cotton, expresses an agreeable
surprise thereat, and says Atlanta, as had
been predicted, must become one of our prin
cipal “interior cotton markets.”
By reference to our cotton statement of to
day it will be seen that our receipts up to
date have been over 7,200 bales. It is
possible that work will swell the receipts to
120.000 bales. For the first two or three years
after tbe war, we received only from 9,000 to
12.000 bales. List year the receipts nearly
doubled, and run up to 32.000 bales. This
year, if wo are not badly mistaken, wo will
get over 50,000 bales, with a probability of
75,000.
And yet this amount is hardly
ihe half of what Atlanta is entitled
to. The conntry that is properly tributary
to this ei y raises 200,000 bales, of which we
must and 'ill control at least 150,000. With
the opening of the Air-Line, and the loading
of Europe.*.n steamers at Port Royal, has
been inaugurated a new era in our cotton
business.
What Atlanta wants is to handle 150>000
bales of cot on per annum. And this she
will do, iu 1 .sa than ten years.

body of Southern society may be maintained,
aud onr financial trouble shorn of many ot
its worst features, by the observance of a few
moral and practical rules that are applicable
to the situation.
The first is for every man to marshal his
assets and pay his debts at the \ery earliest
day possible, even at a sacrifice. No man is
safe who consents to carry the burthen when
he can throw it ofT. Six mouths hence it may
require two or three dollars’ worth of prop
erty to pay what one dollar's worth would
pay now, and it is always wise to provide
agaiDst a future which 3 ou cannot sec into.
Our own Mr. James has set everybody a
worthy example in this respect. II& ja able
farmers and the plethoric coffers of North- \ to pay his debts and have a largo estate left
ern and European insurance companies are
nllowcd to absorb and enj>»y the fruits of our
toil. The South is tully able to make her own
food and a cotton crop besides that would be
ample for the demands of the world, 3’ot we
send millions away annually to bring food from
abroad at extravagant prices. The South is
amply a bio to injure all the lives of her peo
ple and the homes they live in, and yet mill
ions are aunnally sent to tho North to obtain
protection, when w e arc able to protect our
selves. These millions—amounting nearly
to our entire surplus, and some wise men
think more—might all be kept at home, to
beautify anti improve our country, and make
money always abundant Tho South has
only to make her own food, do her own insur
ance, and manipulate her own guanos, to be
both rich and independent of all the world.
We shall Dever be eitbtr, so long as we con
tinue, with all our superior advantages, to be
“hewers of wood and drawers of water” for
the farmers laud capitalists of the northern
States. We lay it down as an axiom in politi
cal economy, that no agricultural people ever
yet prospered who did not raiso their own
food.
The money thus annually abstracted from
the South serves to increase the plethora at
the North, and to lead to every species of ex
travagance, financial gambling and vision ry
ventures, which must, sooner or later, bring
their harvest of woe.
It is a mistake, in our judgment, to suppose
that the existing financial troubles are but
temporary and nearly over. The actual con
dition of the country does not justify so
agreeable an opinion. Whatever maj* be
thought cf it, however, it will be wisest and
safest to consider the great volume of the
storm ahead, and for all to prop their houses
iu order to breast its fury. Wo hate seen
thus tar but partial locil effects of a wide,
spread cause. There is a vast amount ot fi
nancial sham and rottennness at the North,
and, wo fear, a good share at
the S nth, all of which must dis
appear under the real pel of the revulsion. To
change the figure, it in a wind that will not
cease to blow until it shall have winnowed tho
wheat from the chaff. However long post
poned, the day of reckoning, when men must
stand lortli for what they really arc, and not
what they seem iobe, will sure y come. Stocks
that have been inflated beyond their real value
by financial trickery, must comedown to what
they are actually worth, and holders for spec
ulation must suffer by the fall. All the splen
dor that has grown up on these inoidinute
aud unnatural v,.lnes, must collapse and lead
to individual and corporate ruiu.
While tho planters of the South suffer lrem
the causes already named, a great source of
trouble among our business men of every
class, is optr t ng on capital borrowed at ruin
ous rates of interest. No man cau afford to
do any regular business on money borrowed
at two and two-and-a-hali por cent, per month.
If the actual number who borrow at five could
be known and stated, we are satisfied that all
prudent, sensible men would stand aghast at
the exhibit, lu the case of the mer
chant, should be soil at a good
profit all be buy.-, and collect
atter their cancellation, 3*et he neither sues
his debtors nor waits for his creditors to sue
him; ho trusts to tho iutegrity of tho former,
aud puts his own property ou the market to
satisfy the latter, let it bring what it may.
Mutual confidence, and pay out as fust as you
can, should be the motto of all.
Iu order to meet this first condition of safe
ty* a rigid economj’ in all things is absolutely
necessary. We should live within our means,
however fierce may be tho struggle; it will all
be lor the best. We must give up the luxuries,
and look solely to tho comforts of life, for a
season, at least. Buy nothing which we can
make of ourselves, and nothing tEat we can
do without. Appearance must cease to be
the standard of worth in society, and the rich
who prescribe the law should bo the first to
abolish it. That faNored class should have
the philanthropy in times of public distress,
to set the example of economy, for they alone,
in the public sentiment they have created,
can afford to do it. When the yielding of
pride to common senso and enlightened hu
manity shall have become fashionable, they
will have a legion of followers.
Reduce these wholesome considerations to
practice, and we of the South will bo enabled
tosnsp our fiDgers in the face of financial
panics. We bhall have found a panacea for
all our ills.

Ttie Herald in 'own nt 6:30 A. H.
That victory which habitually perches upon the
-tandard of Tns Herald in Georgia journalism, has
for a G w weeks past deserted it. But this xm>ruing

d*-pot at 6:30, and it was at once .eent through
out the city—In arable time to te laid upon every gec-

and say, “The Herald till soon bust.”
Now that the matter is past, wc can truthfully say
thst the grandest stroke of our march in Southern
journalism was the running of the special engine for a

The Good Oid Days in the Gold
Diggings.
From the Mobile Register.
A savage street duel was fought iu Virginia
City, Nevada, in which both combatants were
killed. And this reminds ns ot a story told
with great gusto by a now departed friend, in
his lifetime the proprietor of a well known
“saloon” on Koval street. Th* re had been p.
lively skirmish in frout of his saloon I'etwcec
two young bloods, who, as is often tbe on*e,
had missed each other, but greatly jeoparded
the lives of innocent bystanders, one * r two
shots having passed through our friend's sa-
loon*in very dangerous proximity to his per
son. A few hours afterward wo met him on
the sidewalk; he was elated, he wns happy,
ho was grand; and we inquired into the caost
ol such an exuberance of spirits.
“Oh ! ’ he replied, “I feel so good! so good 1
that little affair this morning ! 'twas delight
ful yl lelt quite happy—it reminded me ot
homo—sweet home ! w hen I was digging for
gold at Los Angeles ! Iu fact, ’twas just like
the good old days.”
“Why,” wo inquired, “did they ever have
such posses at arm** iu California?”
“Oh, yes ! oh, yes ! Often ! But I reman:
hot one day—just such a day hr this —two gen
tlemen, high-toned, sensitive, punctilious
gentlemen, happened to have a little mis -
understanding and met at tho post-office
just when it was crowded, and deliberately
went to woik, drawing their revolvers, and
commenced right there, in the midat of tbe
crowd, firiug at each other. Oh! ’twas lovely *
such excellent, accurate firing, too !”
“And did they hit each other?*’ we asked.
“Well—no—not at first, but they killed out
right three by-standera and wounded four or
five more. Such nice shooting! in fact, ele
gant-elegant !”
“But,” wo insisted, “did they hit each
other?’*
“Oh, yes, oh, yes: th?y did once each, nt
least !’*
“And were their wctmds severe*—dkldiv?
die of them ?'*
“Oh, no, no they didn't die of theii
wotted;, thank God ! the brave fellows didn't
die of their wounds—but —the vigHants rate*
aionnd and hung them both !**
