The Grope.
Onrs it «o truly ft land of plenty that
we rarely feel called upon to contemplate
the probability of the failure of our
crops, except in cases where we intend to
make ft particular application of the re
sults of our reasoning in solving some
problem touching the balance of trade,
or arriving at an estimate of our exports.
The community in general are not
given to looking forward to the conse
quences of a failure that will entail upon
them hardships that are not easily borne.
This is owing, doubtless, to the fact that
they have never really been called upon
to endure that intensity of suffering
which in other- countries has taught the
poorer classes, by a bitter experience, to
watch with the deepest solicitude the pro
gress of the seasons, and augur from an
unusual drought or long continued, ex
cessive rains, deprivations and misery
which we, in our more fortunate condi.
tion, cannot appreciate.
With us there is a commingling of in
terests, from the highest to the lowest—a
dependency of one on another and a mo
bility in all, that render it impossible to
raise or lower one without elevating or
depressing the others in a corresponding
degree, not found elsewhere.
Happily for the laboring classes, their
situation is such as to enable them to
meet the exigencies of most any case that
may arise. Should there be an advance
in provisions and the actual necessaries
of life, they have it in their power
to give the price of their labor
an upward tendency, which, if not
at all times proportionable to their
wants, at least mitigates them and place >
them within the bounds of easy endu
rance. This counteracting influence will
remain with them, and be in no wise di
minished in its effectivenass for good
while the demand for labor stands, as at
present, so greatly in excess of the supply.
It is purely the creature of free institu
tion—liberty and equality before the law
—and has never had the most epheinereal
existence amid the despotic surround
ings of any European government.
Daring the past two months the gene
ral belief has been that the wheat crop
especially would fall far short of former
yields. The circumstances of our posi
tiou, with nearly ona-lialf of our country
almost paralyzed, caused the fact to as
snme an importance it otherwise would
not have done. It may eventuate that
the South, or many portions of it, will
fail to be self-sustaining—that the sudden
great change from slave to free labor
will, in the first year of trial, prove inade
quate tc the full development of our agri
cultural resources, and that we will be
left dependent on other sections of the
country to supply the deficiency, par
ticularly that great granary of the world
the West. Viewed in this light, the ofli
rial returns which state the corn crop as
of the very largest, and the injuries done
to the wheat as overestimated, should
make us feel deeply grateful and cause
much rejoicing.
With those speculators who have
bought up and stored in the city of Chi
cago alone millions of bushels of grain, in
anticipation of the time when they might
profit by the distress of the people, we
cannot have much sympathy. The busi
ness is perfectly legitimate—we could
with as much reason object to the “bull
ing” of Erie or “bearing” of the Central—
but they cannot expect us to manifest
much pity or become very lachrymose
over their great losses when they are to
our.' great gain. Our interests are con
flicting, and we admit ourselves selfish
enough to have a first care for our own.
Desth Of BeT- Win J. Samett, D D.
The friends and acquaintance of the Rev. Wm. J.
Sasnett, D. D., late President of the East Alabama
College, will be painei to learn that he died atbir
country residence, near Sparta, Hancock count},
on Friday, the 3d inst., at 7 o’clock, a. m. Th
deceased was a man of great note in the Metbo
diet Episcopal Church South, consequently the
Church will feel deeply and keenly bis sadder
removal from their midst. His death is a gr«»t
and irreparable loss, which will be shared by all
who knew him. Occupying a high position in the
Church, he did great good in giving to the rising
generatten the beneSt of bis masterly mind, io
thowriringof sour d and good books, thereby
inculcating, both by preoept and example, prin-
oiples which will never be forgotton. For along
time he was Professor ot Moral and Mental
Philosophy, and the higher English brancber
in Emory College, in this state, and the
young men whom he has taught will
indeed miss a generous and noble tutor,
whose ability, charity and amiability to all had
linked scholar to teachor in indissoluble bonds ot
lore and friendship. Sit till terr ■ lenis.

Afternoon Session.
The Convention assembled at half-past three
o’clock. ‘
The Long Expected Ordinance oj Rqmdiation.
Mr. Chappell, from Muscogee, introduced
the iollcftriDg ordinance :
An Ordinance to annul the war debts, and for
other purposes.
Be it ordained by the people of Georgia, in
Convention, That all the debts contracted or
incurred by the State of Georgia,
, am noab’e to do it fnstide, aodl, therefore, leave
the question to the douse. - ..
Mr. Brewer offered an amendment: Ana sh

The amendment was lost. , • ,
Mr. Harris, of Worth, said he wag * *™““

should be ordered too much. He moved as an
amendment, thst in lieu of the words if will

Legislature is respectfully requested, ’ be in
serted. - ,, , - '
Mr. Moore, of IKebster, moved to strike
out all relating to the Inferior Courts, which
was agreed to. and the ordinance, as amend
ed, was adopted.
Mr. Robinson moved the following: “That
this Convention recommend to the next Gener
al Assembly the propriety of abolishing the

2. Be it further ordained, That inasmuch as
the annual income of the State before anddur- 1
ing said war from the native and other sources of
revenue, were amply sufficient for the support
of the ordinary-civil government of the State,
and for the payment of all its expenses inci
dent to a state of peace, and as the extraor- 1
dinary expenses which led to the creation of the |
debt were the offspring and results of the war,
it is therefore the judgment., ordinance and de
cree of this Convention that all debts of the
State, incurred during said war, (hall be con

carrying on the war, except in cases where it
shall ba satisfactorily shown by impartial and
disinterested proof that any particular debt or
debts were incurred for other purposes than
that of carrying on, aiding or abettingthe war >

3. Be it further ordiined, That all bills,
bonds, notes, or evidences of debt issued by
the State, payable only iu Confederate curren
cy, are hereby wholly prohibited from being
paid.
Be it further ordained. That this ordinance
shall be part of the constitution and fundamen
tal law of the State.
At the conclusion of the reading of the above
ordinance an unusual silence was in the hall, aro embodied, and to pursue virtue from theprac-
wbich was very ominous of the storm of a furious tioal benefits it secures. What a salu'ary lesson
debate. All eyes were turned to those who has Shakspeare given, and Ferres: delineated, in
during the Convention displayed their elo
quence most, and [};ey were watched eagerly
to see who was to commence the attack. But
the fight did not come off; the challenge was
there, and
Mr. Chappell named the hour for the com-
The Theatre a National Institution
If there is one national amusement to which
the attention of Americans has always been
peculiarly directed, it is to the stage. To the
politician, the merchant, the lawyer, and, in
deed, to every branch of society, in its widest
ramifications, it has presented a temporary
refuge lrom the cares consequent on the fickle
fluctuations of fortune.
A theatre may be considered as a temple of
concord—a shrine of humanity and goodness.
All oasten to it with one feeling of humanity
one amiable disposition to be pleased. There
is no di rersity of opiniou—no chilling acerbity
of temperament. Comedy lights up a smile on
the countenances, and tragedy draws tears
from the eyes of all. The spirit of the aptor
is infectious, and passes with instantaneous im
pulse into the hearts of bis audience.
This is as it should be.
And surely even the fanatic himself must
confess that man better serves man, and adores
the deity, in spreading around the sunshine ot
bis happiness, and drawing innocent pleasure
from its fountain bead, than in listening with
gloomy composure to the enthusiasm and arti
fice of bigots.
The stage is the practical shool of humanity.—
Jt )« there we are taught to avoi-l vioe, from the
effective planner in which its concomitant miseries
bat in the following words t I would prefer
that for the present we should have no discus
sion of this bill, and that it would be tqadp a
special ot der for to-morrow morning. J desire
that the whole matter may come up to-morrow,
and if the chairman of the committee of sixteen
has no objection, all that it requires is to
make it the special order for to-morrow.
The committee of sixteen accepted the pro
posal, and the motion was carried unani
mously.
The Widows and Orphans of Confederate Sol
diers— The Ordinance of a True Soldier.
Col. Cults, of Sumter, introduced an ordi
nance, which was read by the Secretary, to the
following effect:
lie it ordained by the people, of Georgia in
Convention assembled, That it shall be the duty
of the General Assembly of the Su»t£ of Geor
gia at vbe first session, and aDnuully there
after, to make such provision as will be deem
ed necessary for the support and maintenance
of the widows and orphans of the State.
And be it further ordained, That disabled
soldiers without the meuns of support, incom
petent and unable to earn a liviDg by their
own exertions, shall be entitled to the benefits
of the provisions of the foregoing ordinance ;
and that the Inferior Couita of each county
shall immediately, on the passage pf this ordi-
nauce, levy a tax anil purchase provisions, by
the aid of same, and relieve the suffering poor
of their respective counties, for which object
alone said tax shall be levied: and that the
authority vested in said Inferior Courts shall
shall not extend beyond a period of one year
from this date, unless otherwise provided by
the General Assembly.”
Colonel Cutts : I desire that that ordinance
should be taken up and acted upon. (The mo
rion having been granted, the Colonel re
sumed ) 1 shall make but a few observations
in connection with the proposition before the
House. It has already been laid incidentally
by mauy distinguished members on this floor.
The main objects to be accomplished by this
ordinance have been put forward in eloquent
terms by those gentlemen who alluded to the
sufferings of the poor and the widows and or
phans in the different parts of the State, of
those who have fallen during the war. I think
that as the State of Georgia called her people
out to the war—and whether that was right or
wrong is not a question for me, neither do I
propose to argue it here—when they were called
out to the field and left their children and wi-
Jows here penniless, such of them as are pen-
uiless it is the duty of the State to provide for.
1 think it ought to be made one of the funda
mental principles of the State that they
should not suffer and should not be neglectea. 1
[ have no desire to allude to the war or its j
effects, or rather to the effects or circumstan- '
ees it has brought on the country. If these
men, in obedience to the mandates of the
State, went forth and lost their lives, they have
tae conception and execution of Othello ! What a
fine homily ! What a practical proof of the sor*
rows and fatality of jealousy does it present to
the eye and heart of the spectator.' The Spartans,
they say, male their helots druok, tl at the sight
, might sufficiently disgust their children. The
ttage goes further; it lays open and anatomises
the human heart, that its virtue; or deformities
may disgust or ameliorate the humanity pf the
audience.
We are not yet tufficiently aware of the debt of
gratitude that is owing to the actor. To him, in
me breasts of thousands, may be traced the ear
liest impulses of human action that first drew the
mi.id from obscurity to the paths of greatness.—

Fannie.
j fhe steamship iannie, Captain Goggins, of
tbe Baltimore and Savannah line, which left
Baltimore for this port on Saturday last, has
been detained in consequence of getting
aground near her wharf in that city. She will
probably be here to-day, and may leave this
]>ort on Monday next on her return trip.
Those of our readers who contemplate visit
ing the North will do well to bear in miud one
very important fact connected with this popu
lar line, viz : the saving of two hundred miles
of ocean travel, vyiich is a considerable voyage
of itself duriog the winter season. Passen.
gers by this route can tarry a day or two in
Baltimore, pass on to Philadelphia, transact
their business in the “City of Brotherly Love,”
and then push on to New York without any
additional expense, through tickets being fur
nished to New York. All of the steamships
on this line are commodious and seaworthy,
and the agents and officers will show urbanity
to all,
I West, Bryan & Co., Jones’ block, Bay
street, are the agents in Savannah, and at
their office all information concerning freight
or passage will be courteously and cheerfully

Financiers wiil no doubt bo gratified to learn
that the condition of tbe money market is such
as to make the issue even of these “securities”
seem to be possible; though it be only to a few
cracked-bruined leaders. We think lor our own

then is another chance for a profit, to make up
toe rather qolueky turn of tha last venture. We
have no doubt that the bonds of the Irish Repub

a fine profit, on their proepective value, after tbe
time when the Treasurer of that commonwealth

moderate. We have heard of sales being made at
|1 40*1 45 for Maryland White in begs, and 1 90s
‘ ~ In bulk from shipboard. Prime Western is
■till held at 1 40*1 i8 per bushel.
Conk- There has been so little doing ia the
Coffee market during the past week, as scarcely
to warrant ns in giving quotations. The market
is well supplied, with scarcely any demand. We
quote Java, 40-48c; St Domingo, 34; Rio, 84s35c
pur lb.
Floor—Our remarks of last week will apply
with equal force to the article of Floor this week*

during the week in a retail way. We give as the
quotations from the wharf 90ca$l, lor 100 lbs ;
while from store 1 25 is asked,
LmoKS—Con tin ue scarce, with a good de
mand. An arrirai of good Lemons would meet
with ready sale at lair priors. Our quotations for
the article are merely nominal.
Lars—A good demand has existed during the
week, with aa ample atoek on the market. The
demand is principally for the interior trade. We
quote Prime Leaf, ffla33o; Pressed, 27 a 30 cents
per lb.
Lias—There is no good lime at present
on the market, and a cargo of good would
command a lair price. Stack Lime is selling at
82 per bbl.
Molassis—There has been scarcely any busi
ness done in this article during the week, but
our prices of last week have been steedily
maintained. We therefore renew onr quota

ket at present with bat little demand. We
quote 80a90 cents as the ruling rates. Some
sales have been made from the wharf at VOe per

the market, with a good demand for the article
The quotations are |3 50a4 per bbl,

Most of that arriving is of ao inferior quality .The
demand is light, and there has been no change
in prices from onr last quotations.
StiKARS—The late advance in toe Northern
markets has had but little effect ia tbe pric* o f
tbe article in this market as yet. There is a good
