ing and deplorable 'hat we see so little
practical effort among the press or the
}>cople of the South toward the attain
ment of commercial and financial
strength. Politically the South is
weak, because it is so numerically, and
alap because Us political power has been
weakened by the incorporation of a
great ignorant element that is, and will
for sometime be, more or less subservi
ent to national, influences, as against
the interests and rights of tire intelli
gent portion of the people. But in
dustrially tire South is strong in all the
elements of national power—strong in
the exliuberance of its natural resources
—stroug in its contribution to the ex
ports of the country—strong also in
tin; traditions and sympathies which
outfit to cement its energies into the
development of home industries,
home eomuierce, aud create for itself a
power so commanding as to defy even
the devices and the hostility of central
iiMligation
pitring the war it was a universal
conviction, and source of congratula
tion, that, eVen if the effort to estab
lish a separate government failed, we
hod learned to be industrially indepen
dent ; and everybody felt assured that
herehfter our commerce would flow to
Southern ports, and, by the practice
of tha stern economy made necessary
by the war, we would soon become the
ricWt and most prosperous people on
cai^th.
Have these expectations been real
ized '! While our products are nearly
as huge as in our most prosperous days,
are’ we not really the mere toilers for
our Northern task-masters ? Have we
built any ships or developed any facil
ities at ports through which we may
export our products, and import such
goods as we need from abroad ? On
the. contrary, do not thousands of our
cross-road merchants go North for their
goods, who formerly bought in Charles
ton., Savannah and the smaller home
markets?.; ,.
Instead of the stern economy of
ilie'war, do we not see a more giddy
rtyifor ostentatious display—a mOre
slavish devotion to the latest fashions,
and * more fatal disregard for that
sensible discretion which regulates the
expenditures to the income, than exist-
<-! lu'ftio.days of slavery?
• Do \ve not see Southern enterprises
linn.'uish, while we am kept in the dregs
of poverty- by the Northern products
we buj’ ? ’ Do not Northern newspa
pers, filled with offensive and insolent
exaltation and ridicule over our disas
ters, find ready circulation among us,
while' home papers—alive to home
sympathies aud home interests—are
devuied unworthy of support?.
In short, are we not, in the swelling
protests against what we deem the ex
pediency of Northern politicians, which
day by day exercise ccrtaiu writers and
speakers straining at the gnats of po
litical attraction, while we continue
to swallow the real Camels of political
and i»c)usfpal subserviency?"

The plan consists of a regularly organ

man is a member, and aside from their
regular wages, ten per cent, of the nett
profits of each year is divided among
the workmen. This division is made
before deducting interest in the capital
or salaries for services of the firm. A
“ board of governors” was elected for
tbe shop at large, and a “ board of

partment. They were charged with
the enforcement of all the rules and
regulations made by the governors, and
the chairmen of the hoards were re
quired to report mouthly the working
condition of their respective depart
ments. The board of governors con
sisted of the chairmen of the Iwards of
coutrol. They assemble once a month,
or oftener if required ; their secretary
receives a salary; they choose the pres
ident of the association from the firm
of Brewster & Co., and they have
power to make rules for the govern
ment of the shop. Every measure
must be presented to the president for
approval; if disapproved it can be
passed over bis veto, by a two-thirds
vote of all its members. The board of
governors also elect a representative ot
the shop at large. The eleventh article
protects the proprietary interest of the
firm, declaring that the association has
no rights over the management of the
business or Interest in it, and that the
wages paid by the firm is to lie held full
compensation for all services rendered
to it. The association may be dissolved
at the close of each fiscal year either
by Brewster & Co. or by a two-thirds
vote. Provision is made for the share
of profits accruing to persons who leave
or are discharged from the employment
of Brewster & Co. The other articles
of the constitution are intended to reg
ulate the internal working of the asso
ciation, and arc not of special public
interest.
Extravagant Government.—
The official returns show that $226,000,-
000 in gold was collected at the United
States Custom-Houses for the year
ending the 30th of June, 1871. This
is equal to about $235,000,000 in leg
al-tenders. . The whole amount of our
foreign imports, upon which this en
ormous sum is levied, is only $400,-

Soutlierii States who .send tlieir daugh
ters to the North and the border States.
For heallhfnlness, either iu winter or
summer, our climate is unsurpassed ;
our society favorably known through
out the State for its high tone and
mortality; our ladies’ schools as good
as any in the land. But yet it Is the
bane of the South that homc-uilent and
home industry are rejected but too of
ten for the flashy productions of the
North, be it in works of the press, of
art, or for the education of our sons
ami daughters.
One of the aspiring and talented
young men of your city, Mr. Jehn
Nevitt, an architect of unusual prom
ise, is now here, and has just complet
ed a series of drawings and plans for
the extension and the ornamenting of
Emmanuel Church, of which Rev. M.
\V. Henderson is rector. These draw
ings have elicited the most favorable
comment from competent judges, even
in New York; and the work, under
Mr. Nevitt’s superintendenev, is to com
mence at once. These, with other con
templated improvements, will make
Emmanuel Church one of the most ar
tistic churches interiorly, in the State.
It is Mr. Nevitt’s aim to reach perfec
tion in ecclesiastical architecture, and
we learn with pleasure that he is now
executing commissions for other
churches in the South. We cannot
hut wish, to such meritorious striving,
the must eminent success.
Speaking of Athens art matters,
pray do not smile when we say that
Athens lias within its precincts some
young talents worthy of earnest en
couragement. Miss Franklin appears
to possess all the impulses of a genuine
artist, and is enthusiastically devoted
to both painting and sculpture. But
recently she completed a life-sized bust
ot Bishop Elliott from her recollection
of that lamented divine and with the
aid of existing pictures of him. . This,
ber first work, authorizes us to await
from her skillful hands creations which
will make their mark in the world of
art: She, with Miss Collie Sosnowski,
the associate principal of the Home
School, stand undoubtedly at tbe head
of Athens lady painters. They are no
tyros, and have devoted many years to
a conscientious study of the art. Mbs
S. is now engaged upon a Sea picture,
which bids fair to surpass her “ Wind
Against Tide,” so much admired at
two. to uot this monstrous and out- many of our Fairs aud which always

it -tins received that “ the German

and that if the' gentlemen accused of

that neither oi those ladies expect to

a reason die little care taken of their

and getting them back, and die insig
nificant premiums awarded—S10 and

ly iu the right; and, if the moving
spirits of our Fairs reilly e re for art
aud wish to show us and to strangers
what talents we possess, let them offer
decent premiums of $100 or more and
guarantee to the successful exhibitors
the return of premium works free of

exhibition which it will be worth the
trouble to look at. Now, uo comum-

A concert is soon to take place here,
aud to be repeated after the 15th inst.,
in aid of the extension of Emmanuel
Church, at which one of Georgia’s most
accomplished daughters, Miss Wilde,
now of San Francisco, at present visit
ing here, will be the prima donna.—
Miss Wilde is ,the near relative of one
of our sweetest poets, R. H. Wilde,
and perhaps the finest Southern song
stress we ever heard. Having, for
years, resided in Europe, and at its
capitids enjoyed the instruction of emi-
ueut masters, her voice, of native sweet
ness and power, has gained a compass
and an execution which will elicit
everywhere tbe highest encomiums.

forbear to mention that we have just

when* his fine productions will not fail
to bring to him a lucrative business.—
His photographs are as good as any we

to say that the plaza has been literally

Tiie body ot little boy Willie
Hanis, who was lost in Macon a few
days ago, was found several miles down
the river last week It appears that
several little boys went down to the
Fair Grounds to play, and while playing
on tbe river bank Willie fell in and was
drowned. The little fellow?, having been
forbidden by their parents to go to the
river, were afraid! to tell what had hap
pened, and the little boy was missing
some time before .there was any suspic
ion that he was drowned. There is an
terfut Mum’ in this todi aodffeift;

“ J. A. N.” writing to the Macon
Idegraph from Dade county, on the
subject of railroads sajs:
When one comes up this way and
sees what is going on, the reluctant
conviction is forced upon him that the
Western. business will, at no distant
day, be diverted from the Georgia
roads, which have enjoyed it. Louis
ville and the Louisvule and Nashville
Railroad Company are energetically
pushing on their subsidized lines of
roads by Nashville and Decatur down
to Montgomery. Cincinnati, refused
a charter for its road by the Kentucky
Legislature, has devised and lafinched
a grand competitive scheme of roads,
with which to measure arms with Lou
isville for the Southern trade. It was
regularly organized at a meeting of
railroad Presidents about six weeks ago
at McMinnville, Tenn., and extends
through Kentucky and Tennessee, to
Huntsville, and thence by Gadsden
and Opelika down to Eumula. The
power of railroad combinations 1 and
commercial capital will send. Western
trade and travel, for Alabama, Flori
da, portions of Mississippi, and South
ern Georgia, over these nval Louisville
and Cincinnati lines with all reasona
ble certainty. And so Georgia has
made a good trade in the lease of the
Western and Atlantic Railroad, and
the Central a miserable poor one in the
lease of the Macon and Western. In
two years all the Georgia rdads that do
not catch these great Western currents
will have to depend on local business,
and most of them will dry up. Atlan
ta, the wonderful creator of this West
ern business, secs her danger, ai&d will
avert it if energy and putnib spirit tain
do it Augusta and Maco:
have made up their minds to the re
sult, and each is casting abbot for an
“ Euthanasia.** . Manufacturing^ may
save Augusta, and the road toKnox.
ville come to Mahon’s relief, provided
it can be built.
. Macon can reach Knoxville ywy
directly, and verfbistaialy, by Jxtikfe
ing a road to Athens.—Ed.
