The South ami the Labor Movement.
We refciraHn aur la.-fj*i]>er to the
nomination, hy tim' I-altor Reform Con
vention, of candidate? for President
and \’irc President. Hon. David Da-
vis, of Illinois, and lion. Joel Parker,
of New Jersey, are the names of the
standard-liearcrs of this new organiza
tion. The nominees arc both men of
large wealth, and their sympathy and
identity with the labor interests of the
ev-ntry np|«cnr to lie of recent origin.
Judge Davi was no ni l line Whig,
a warm friend of Lincoln, in whose
nomination Uc took an active interest,
ami was subsequently made by him a
Judge of the United States Supreme
Court. Gov. Parker is a |ioIitician of
prominence in New Jersey, and was
elected Governor of that State in 1862,
and again last year, by a large majority.
Both np]>enr to be men of fair ability,
though not the sort of statesmen of
which Presidents were wont to be made
in other days. There appears to be a
desire among certain Democrats for a
coalition with this movement. If such
a union can he made effective in lieat-
ing Grant, and is deeided to lie the
best way to beat him, it will lie tho
pro|>or policy of the South, to acquiesce,
though the Labor-Kcform agitation has
in itself very .small claim upon the
siip|Mirt or sympathy of the great mass
of the people of the South. It is a
movement in the interest of labor-
unions, for the protection of labor en
gaged in the manufacture of goods of
which the South is a leading purchaser.
The direct result, if not the leading
purjiose of the “ labor movement” of
the North is, to extort tribute from
Southern toil. It is the germ of the
agrarian war upon capital, w hose legit
imate fruits have been develojied in
tho recent struggle with the eominun-
importance to North-East Georgia, to
tho Georgia Railroad, and to Augusta
and Savannah. * If it passe! mto the
hands o^'the lessees of the State road,
or of. parties hostile to a connection
with ns, and with the Georgia railroad
sysiteftr, 'it Will be a severe blow to the in
terests oftbis-portion of the State. A
great feeder to our present railroads
will be taken away, and a vast trade
will thus be cut off from our comraer-
cl il point. - , ,
The Directors of the Georgia Rail
road are about to meet to consider the
lease of a portion of their western line
to the Pennsylvania Central, and it is
rumored that such a lease is likely to
lie consummated.
If they must give up theur.interest
in the connection with Alabama, may
they not wisely reach out to control
the line penetrating the gnat iron, coal
and grain region of upper Georgia and
Tennessee ?
Will the stoekliolders of the Geor
gia road—will tlie merchants of Au
gusta, and .Savanuali, see this impor
tant link {inss into hands hostile to
their interests ? Wc shall know with
in a few days; and on the decision
depends, in a great measure the busi
ness future of this portion of the State,
and as wc believe, the future pro.-qteri-
tv of the Georgia railroad.

In the House of Representatives on
Friday Mr. Dawes, Chairman of the
Committee on Ways and Means, made
a statement to show how the balanec
sheet of the Treasury was being con
stantly changed hy each day’s legisla
tion of Congress. There were certain I
appropriations which were absolutely
necessary. The public faith to the
creditors of the country required a pro
vision to be made for the payment of
interest on the debt. Then there were
public expenditures which, however
much they may vary from year to
year, must lie met by appropriation
bills. He wished to call the attention
of the House and the country to what
may lie denominated the absolute
necessary expenses of the Government
for tho coming year.
Taking the e.-tiinate of public ex
ists of Paris. It is an arm of the great j penditures as a starting point, the am-
intcrnational movement which threat-1 ount required without reference to pay-
ens to throw all the manufacturing dis
tricts of Europe into revolutionary
convulsions. It is composed of the
elements lntclv most clamorous for the
overthrow of Southern slavery, be
cause that institution was an etlective
conservator of the cver-giinding attri
tion between labor and capital, and
was (falsely) deemed antagonistic to
the interests of free labor. A vast
majority of the hordes which overrun
the South wore men of communistic
affinities. We confess that an alliance
with such a 'body, even for the pur
pose of beating Grant, does not appear
to lie the high mission to which South
ern Democrats ought to aspire. But
on the principle nf lighting the devil
with fire, it may come to pass that the
staid, law-loving Democracy of the
South may find it wise to throw their
strength into the scale with these firery
elements. Wc trust it may lie done, if
done at all, not hy supporting their
ticket, or endorsing their principles;,
but by running electoral tickets in the
States of the South independent of all
national organization, to he voted in
the Electoral College for the men and
the party mo». frieullyto our inter
ests, and the safest custodians of the
fragment of constitutional liberty still
left.
So far as any humble share these
culiiniiirmny have in future political
contests, there is nothing outside of a
square stand up fight, under the Dem
ocratic lianncr, for old-fashioned Dem
ocratic principles—moulded as they
are, and must lie, bv existing facts,
which can inspire much enthusiasm.
,.ny other fight, by honest Southern
men, is little better than tlie dancing
of harlequin* or the mockery of a
farce.
all parte of the country, will attend
this most important practical. conven
tion. We look with much iuterestjp
the facts that will lie tDvohiped, and
hope the newspaper press will qrge
the appointment of delegates of high
character and practical knowledge, so
that the whole country may come mto
possession of actual facts, and not be
compelled to rely upon mere specula
tions and vague theories.
Increase of Churches.
The Protestant Episcopal Church
in the United States reports an actual
accession to its communion, last year, of
24,124, being a larger per centage
upon its whole number of members
(224,995) than any other Church.—
The Methodist Episcopal Church re
ports an increase of 58,387, and a
total membership of 1,172,095. Tlie
reunited Presbyterian Church report
ed as received on examination, last
year, 27,770, and a total of 455,378
members. The Congregationalist had
13,501 added by profession, and a
total membership of 306,518. The
Presbyterian Church (South) reported
(1870) a total membership of 87,529,
and additions on profession of 5,302.
The regular Baptists report a total
membership of 1,410,403, and 77,705
added by baptism, and 15,636 exclud
ed and 2,271 erased. There are many
subdivision of these denominations,
and smaller bodies, whose reports we
have not compared. But the above
are worthy of study by ministers and
others interested in chusch growth.
Increase of Herman Immigration.
The newly elected Board of Directors
of the German Immigration Society
of New York met at their office, No.

and organized hy the election of the

For the past two seasons lias been most satisfactory, as a SI KCl] (

Results have certainly demonstated the necessity of modifying tlie
COMPOSITION OFiFERTILIRERS to the physical and chemical con-
dition of the soil, equally as to the production of plant food nco.< v,a.-y
for particular crops. Therefore I have prepared a Fertilizer
Adapted to the Requirements of Each Kind of Soil,
No. 1, for Light Gray Sandy Land, Cash, $55 Per Ton.
No- 2, for Red Clay Land, Cash, Per Ton.
For each kind, $5 per ton additional will be charged for time to 1st c/
November next.
The SPECIAL PECULIARITY that all have r^parked in this preparation
is, that it
Eot only increases tlie Crop two to three fold,
BUT SUSTAINS THE PLANT A GAINST DROUGHT k HEAT.
Numbers of our moat respectable planters attest this fact. The limits of
an advertisement will not admit of the introduction of much testimony,
but I am kindly permitted*to refer to a number of the inostdistinguished
Planters in the State who have used this Fertilizer, and expressed their
unqualified approval of its value, viz : .
