Arrival of American Cotton

on Sunday last from Liverpool, bring
ing, as part of her cargo, 100 bales of
Mobile cotton, consigned to Messrs. H.
Hentz & Co., of that city. The Jour
nal of Commerce understands that they
Imd purchased 1,000 bales for ship
ment, but the sudden decline here in
ithe latter part of June caused them
tto countermand the shipment of the
.remainder. The receipt of cotton
(from Liverpool at this time is certain

South for forty years, wereArue. From
the fanatics of Exeter Hall to William
Loyd Garrison, on down to the dimax
in the crusade by J. Clarke Swayze,
and the loyal howlers of his type, we
have been hearing of the inferiority of
Southern civilization, and the insidi
ous taint of Southern, blood by the
great curse of slavery; but it. has been
left for oue of Georgia’s favorite sous
to flaunt the hideous insinuation in the
faces of an audience, themselves the
highest type of the civilization thus as
sailed. What a commentary on the
noble twelve hundred Alumni, of
whom the occasion was commemora
tive; what a rebuke to the groat and
good meu of the South, who, from the
pulpit, forum, hustings, and through
the press, have vindicated slavery as
the conservator of civilization ; what
an offering to the memory of those
who, on hundreds of battle fields, gave
their lives to preserve our institutions
from those social and political innova
tions, which the sjieaker hails as the
dawn of a newer and higher civiliza
tion. When we see a representative
Georgiau standing before an audience
of Georgians, to hail as a boon the
nchievments of those who fired the na
tional heart to blot out the “ stain of
slavery,” well may we exclaim, 11 tem-
pora mutantur, et nos miitamurin ill is.”
We are at a loss to know the exact
meaning Mr. Hill intcuded to convey
in his allusions to our depemlnnce on
others for our civilization, and to “ our
failure as a peoplebut whatever he
meant, the imputations they convey,
and the effect they will exert abroad,
entitle them to stern rebuke. Though
an adopted son of the South, the ele
vating and civilizing influences of her
institutions, both npon the white and
black races, were among the writer’s
earliest convictions; and it is a matter
of prido that those dearest to us, dur
ing the war and since the war, though
in the midst of Puritan fanaticism
have never quailed before the innova
tions of the anti-slavery furor, and
have never bowed the knee to the
Baal of uew civilization which seems
to be the object of Mr. Hill’s late idol
atry.
Failure as a people! Look at the
brilliant gallaxy of patriot sages of the
South, in whose best blood American
liberty and civilization were baptized.
Failure as a people! Look at the
character of American institutions for
the long period in which Southern in
tellect, Southern genious, Southern
civilization made its impress upon
them, both in the national councils
and in society.
Failure as a people 1 Look at the
peaceful, prosperous, moral and happy
condition of Southern society before
the dawn of aliolition—the harbinger
of this new civilization—opened its
Pandom box npon us.
Failure os a people! Look at the
prowess exhibited by the South in the
late war. With the most unhappy
divisions among her people, (resulting
not from slavery, but from pestilent
party prejudice,) see how a few mil
linn* of brave men and women bore
aloft tlic standard of liberty for four
years against four or five times their
numbers, multiplied indefinitely by the
available hirelings of the world. It
has lieen left for Mr. Hill to discover
that slavery weakened our defensive
power. It is true, we were, and are,
chiefly an agricultural people, and as
such not possessed of the means for
multiplying war munitions, enjoyed by
tbu enemy. But it was not for w-nnt
of guns, or powder that we tailed, but
for want of men, and of that misuse of
opportunities and resources not proper
here to regret or discuss; but slavery,
instead of being an element of weak
ness, was a great bulwark of strength.
The slaves—to their eternal honor be
it said—fed the armies and people ai
home, and were guardians of .fafety to
our helpless women and children.
Therefor*, we fail totally to see where
in—conceding our “failure as a peo
ple”—slavery was a cause of it.
If a true and fearless history of our
“failure”is ever written, it will, we
arc sitisfied, magnify the civilization
which it pleases Mr. Hill to depreciate.
It will be the record of a sublime de
fense against a crusade waged in the
selfish interests of central power,
bounded an by the fury of blind fanat
icism, aided by the hireling scum of
tlie world. And it is the achieve
ments of saeli vandals that Mr. Hill
hails as the dawu of a superior civili
zation.
. If by “ civilization ” Mr. Hill means
the gainful devices of a varied industry
—an iu hstry diversified by the stern
fiat, of nature, and not by the mere
ftbsdnce of slavery—then it is true that
thr South is indebted to others for
land grants, which have crowned her
with imperial wealth and power. And
the chief stain that rests upon the
South is that her statesmen and her
people have submitted so patiently and
so long to these greedy exactions. Per
haps slavery icas an incidental cause
of our indifference to these great
wrongs; because that system of labor,
with the exuberance of nature enabled
us to thrive in spite of them. But it
is difficult to see in any of these results
any evidences of our “fallare as n peo
ple.”
We did not build as many sbij«,
pile up as many brick* in marts fester
ing with social pollution, make as
many steam engines or rat-traps, but
we reared a people famed throughout
the world" for the virtues that ennoble
man, and the graces that adorn wo
men ; n people whose “ failure ” in war
made a record of endurance and hero
ism which is the wonder of mankind ;
we developed an agricolture which has
enabled us iu five years of a partial,
plundering peace, to wipe out almost
even’ trace of a like period of desolat
ing war. Surely, with such a record
Is hard to see anything worth hail
ing as a boon in the shoddy bastard,
born of the “ failure ” of such a civili
zation.
But while we cannot welcome these
innovations, we are willing to join
hands with fate and Mr. Hill in
wrenching from destiny all the bless
ings which our changed condition has
in store. The blessings of education,
so far as the sparcity of our population
makes it practical, the liberal endow
ment of our universities, the elevation
and diversification of labor, all demand
liberal encouragement. But while we
move forward in the misty walks of a
new and uncertain future, we protest
against placing the self-imposed badge
ot “ failure ” upon the glorious record
of Southern sociolog}’ and the high
type of civilization of which it was the
peerless exponent
Blue Ridge Railroad.
The following extract is made front
a letter recently written by the Presi
dent of the road to the Cincinnati
Railroad Record:
After many vexations delays, cc
casioned mainly by tlie peculiar con
dition of the finances of this State, and
tlie distrust of capitalists to invest
Southern securities, the Blue Ridge
Railroad Company in South Carolina,
is again in a condition, I hope to press
the construction along the line more
vigorously. A new company, compos
ed of capitalists in South Carolina and
New York, is now forming, who pro
pose to complete the road in a short
time on certain conditions. The pro
]>osition includes the issue of a prefer
red stock for $2,000,000, hearing 7,
or 10 per cent, until the road is coin
pletcd, after completion to have some
preference over stock now Issued. The
new company to hold or retire old
stock. The company in this State and
New York propose to subscribe at once
for one-half of this preferred stock
With tlie 82,000,000 of preferred
stock, and the 84,000,000 mortgage
bonds endorsed by tlie State of South
Carolina, this road can be completed
in two years from this date What we
now propose is to appeal to the citizens
of Cincinnati, either os a corporation
or as individuals to como to our aid
and subscribe at least one million
dollars of this preferred stock. The
State of South Carolina, city of Charl
eston, and individual stock-holders,
have already paid in and expeuded ou
this rood nearly three millions of dol
lars. We propose now to retire this
old stock, and permit new parties to
come in with $2,000,000 preferred
stock, and by the ure of 84,000,000
mortgage bonds guaranteed by the
State of South Carolina, build the road,
and own it after it is completed.
The Cholera.—There is consider
able excitement and apprehension in
Great Britain and continental Europe
about the cholera. It has passed the
Asiatic boundaries and has appeared
in European Russia and the German
ports of the Baltic. From thence
some sporadic cases have appeared in
Hull, England, in the persons of
German emigrants bound to America.
France is fearful of the disease on ac
count of the sanitary disorders result
ing from the bite war. It is said to be
making alarming ravages in the neigh
borhoods of Cronstadt and St. Peters
burg in Russia The probabilities are
derided that it will sweep over the
western nations as it did a generation
ago, and, being forewarned of its dread
approach, it should not find the western
world unprepared. Every. sanitary
preparation should be made,* and the
medical science of the world should be
directed to its cause, diagnosis and
cure.

“To the Alumni of the second quar
ter of the present century—they pre
sent many historic names, of "whom
our Alma Mater may justly feel proud;
but to individualize them might seem
invidious. Let us cherish the memo
ries of the dead, and let us love the
living. We have a heart , for all our
Alumni, of whatever party 6r. creed;
a mother’s full heart goes out to each
and to all.” ,
Mr. President and Gentlemen: The
blood of the mother ever courses in the
veins of her children—her intellect re
produces itself in their brains. I feel,
therefore, that I can reflect no greater
honor oa our Alma Matenlrau to re
call the names aud recount the deeds
of head and heart of the sons born of
her Mood and nourished by her intel
lect during the second quarter of a
century ef her life—the period covered
by the toast to which you call me to
respond.
Following the exrmplc just set me
by my distinguished friend, (Judge
Harris) I begin with the first class of
that period—the class of
Two names on its roll arc sufficient
of themselves to immortalize our illus
trious Alma Mater. The one is Dan
iel Chandler, who, in a great address
delivered before this University, gave
the first impetus to female education,
and the monument to whose memory
the beautiful sisterhood of colleges,
academies aud schools throughout the
riouth, whence educated woman is an
nually sent to adorn and sweeten our
home life. The other still survives,
and as the head of the biir of New
Orleans—preferring private station
and |K>vertv with the South to the
robes of high office ami wealth with
-*r enemies—as the head <jf that bar,
and in that private station he reflects
as much houor upon the name of John
A. Campbell as when on the Supreme
bench of the United States, he was the
peer of the proudest that sat by his
ide!
SiV, during this period, of her exis
tence our Alma Mater gave birth to
statesmen illustrious on the high arena
ot national politics. I name but two.
The one is Alexander-H. Stephens,
who won the proud appellation of the
Great Commoner of the South in the
Federal Legislature, and who, unable
longer to stand upon his feet and pour
the eloquence of truth and patriotism
iuto the popular ear, traces, at Liberty
Hall, with trembling pen,’lines ofim
mortal thought and historic interest
The other has descended into the
grave—a grave wet with more tears
than ever fell liefore on corpse of pub
lic man. Dear to me, sir, he was, os was
David to Jonathan; I revere the gran
deur of lib intellect and the greatness
of his heart—the one exhibited in the
high positions he adorned, the other
in that constaut flow of charity which
caused the widows heart to sing for joy
and the orphan’s eve to dance with
glee. Need 1 mention his name. Con
nected with this University as pupil
and Trustee from boyhood to the grave,
and springing now from every heart to
every lip, need I say I allude to How
ell Cobb!
Sir, during this period our Alina
Mater gave birth to Governors of
States. Again I name but two.
Both, with talents befitting their ex
alted stations, uniting the virtues of
private life, the accomplbliments of
Christian manhood and the purity of
unsullied honor and honesty. The one
is Herschel V. Johnson, Ex-Governor
of Georgia; the other b the classmate
of my distinguished friend near me,
Judge Vason, and my own classmate,
John Gill Shorter, Governor of Ala
bama.
Sir, during this period our Alnm
Mater gave birth to Princes in Israel
—illustrious watchmen on the heights
of Zion. Again I name but two. The
one is George F. Pierce, the Bishop of
my own church, under whose match
less eloquence I sat at Oxford but the
other Sabbath, bathed in tears, and
not ashamed of my weakness because
all other eyes which met mine were
wet too; the other is Benjamin M.
Palmer, who sits now in our presence,
and whose power we all felt yesterday,
and at whose feet I had-designed to lay
a little chaplet of flowers, but the dis
tinguished President of the Board of
Trustees, (Gov. Jenkins,) and the ac
complished Chancellor of the Univer
sity, (Dr. Lipscomb,) have scattered
them so profusely, yet tastefully,
around aud over him, that I find no
vacant spot for my humbler offering.
Sir, during thb period our Alma
Mater made judges who filled the
Bench with ability and diguity, aud
preserved the ermine spotless in puri
ty. Again ! name- bofc. two, -Judges
of Georgia’s Supreme Court, whose
opinions and judgments will live on
her records forever. The one is Hen
ry L. Benning, of Columbus; the
other is Liutou Stephens, of Sparta
Sir, during the same period, our
Alma Mater give birth to lawyers of
power aud erudition sufficient to make
a hundred judges. Again I name but
two. The one is Robert Toombs, of
whom our lamented Chief Justice
pumpkin said that he was the most
powerful intellect he ever saw in
Court room ; the other is Wm. Hope
Hull, who sits near me, most worthy
of all the men I know to wear the
robe which fell so becomingly around
the person of that accomplished law
yer and spotless Judge:
Sir, during the same period, our
Alma Mater gave birth to physicians,
who, in the more quiet walks and re
tired circles of life, administered the
healing art to suffering humanity,
soothed the sorrows of the sick and
smoothed the jiili.w of the dying.
Again I name but two—deeply*read
in the science of medicine, ana whose
name and fame as great doctors are
commensurate with the State. The
one is Dr. Paul E. Eye, of Augusta
the other is Dr. Richard D. Moore,
of Athens; identified- with, this Uni
versity as pupil and Trustee from boy
hood to this moment, fie sits quietly at
this Board, but hopes as high and
works as earnestly for the old Mother
as any child she has borne.
Sir, during this period, our Alma
Mater made the men who themselves
have made Alumni. Great teachers
Sir, they have carried the fame of
Georgia’s University to the far distant
Pacific, where the one as President,
and the other as Professor, of the Uni
versity of California, illustrate the
blood and the brains of this “ Grand
old Alma Mater,” nay, sir, more;
wherever science is appreciated, and
scientific works ore read, tbis, or the
other side of the broad Atlantic, the
names of Drs. John and Joseph Le-
comte are familiar as household words.
Let Georgia bring them back. Let
this, their mother, recall them to her
bosom to assist her in her new march
to'wider fields of victory , uuder better
auspices and more liberal endowment.
But, sir, were I to go on with this
roll of honor during- this period of our
Alma Mater's history, to-morrow’s sun
would rise.upon me still repeating the
names and recalling to mind the tal
ents and achievements, in every walk
of useful life, of those sons whom she
$ave to Georgia, to the South, to man
kind and to God. There is one other
class I may not omit—heroes who fell
on battle fields of victory were born to
her here. I name again but two.
The one is Francis S. Bartow, the able
lawyer, the cultivated scholar, the ac
complished gentleman, the noble hero
who fell in toe arms of victory on the
plains of first Mauassas; the other is
Thomas R. R. Cobb, the only univer
sal genius I have ever seen. Lawyer,
scholar, statesman, soldier, orator,
Christian, patriot, it was his to com
plete the circle of human virtues and
to fill the mersurc of intellectual
prowess. Everywhere equal to every
thing he tried to do, and trying to do
only what his great heart told him was
right, he too fell in the arms of victory
on the heights of Fredricksburg, in
sight of the house where his mother
Was born. “ Par nobile fratrum !”
One thought, Mr. President, and I
have done. If, while struggling with
poverty, fed by Georgia, when fed at
all, with a niggardly hand, our Alma
Mater has produced such sons as these,
what will she not accomplish when en
riched with that endowment of a mil
lion of money for which our hearts
now pant, and which our hands must
secure for her? Sir, mingling oui
hearts together in love for her around
this festive board, let us pledge our
hands to the work, aud with one vigo
rous, determined, united effort, each
in his place, yet all together, we shall
lift her above every want, and make
her rich in endowment and enlarged
capacity for good—the equal of the
proudest University in all the land.
Supply of Peruvian Guano.
Advices from Lima state that it
being considered by the Minister of the
Treasury there whether a publication of
the extent of the deposits of guano yet
remaining would not be the most satis
factory vindication of the resources of
Peru. That these deposits are of vast
area and importance there oui lie no
doubt. From the very first year when
it was found that the guano from the
Chindhns would readily soli i . Europ
ean markets, discoveries of other beds
iuvve been made all along the coast of
the Peruvian republic. Owing to the
late war between France and Germa
ny, and the decline of the cotton grow
ing in the Southern portion of the Uni
ted States, a smaller quantity of guano
than customary had been exported
during 1870-71. In Eugland, Ger
many and France the supply in the
hands of the government agents
ample for a year’s demand, and for
the discharge of the obligation of Peru
towards her foreign bondholders for the
same period. In compensation for the
gradual disappearance of the original
Chincha guano, the deposits nt Inde-
pcncncia Ray, of very superior quali
ty, and of great extent, row being
exported, may be mentioned. In ad
dition to these, however, large discov
eries of the precious fertilizer have
very reoeutly been made on the plaint
of Pisco, and the. analysis made, it
stated, shows these last to lie of an ex
traordinnrily rich eharaotcr. In the
Northern quarters of the republic
less than seven extensive deposits are
known, besides those of Guanapc,
already being exported, which, al
though on the mainland, are thus
making it more expensive to embark
are considered by those acquainted
with their location as ample guarantee
for Peruvian financial tranquility for
years to oome.
