Now Subscription and Advertising Bale*.
To llie now subscription and advertising rates
or this journal, published at the head of Its
fourth page, wo Invito attention, and especially
Hint of merchants and other advertisers In tills
and other cities, who have favored, or may de
sire'td favor It with advertising patronage. It
will bo seen flora these ‘'now rates" that tiro
l’wirniETOB of tdn Daily IsTELUOENCBn has
reduced tho terras both of subscription and ad
vertising. This he has done after mature delib
eration, Impressed with the conviction that It
will encourage a more general city advertising
in, and lusure a larger circulation of this paper.
The “rates” heretofore prescribed were adopted
at a time when tho expenses incident to, and at
tendant upon, the publication of a Journal in this
city, such as material, rent, the cost of living,
labor, and so forth*, were much higher than they
arc now, or than thoy promlso to bo In the fu
ture. Henco tho reduction whloh the Propme-
tor now makes lit the rates of subscription and
advertising, which, as before stated, may bo seen
at the head of tho fourth pago and every other
day’s editiou of this paper until changed.
In offering tho Daily Intki.i.ioenckr to sub
scribers at tho rato of $1 per month, or $10 for
twelvemonths, its PnoPHtRTOR feels that lie is
placing it at as low a rale, ns a journal of Its di
mensions and location can be published without
the entailment of loss upon Its publisher; and so
in regard to Its " rates" of advertising. Those,
reduced to the tlgures they now are, It Is hoped
are low enough to cucouragc a more general city
advertising. It is upon this presumption, tho
Proprietor of this Journal acts, in reducing
the “ rates” of advertising—and ho docs so con
fident in ttic belief Hint the merchants of this
city will generously respond by advertisements in
these columns of their wares and merchandise.
It is not saying too much when wo affirm that
the Intkm.iokncer affords all the advantages
which advertisers ipay require If a paper pub
lished in Atlanta, and as such it is offered to the
public. It was llie remark of one of the
most successful merchants in America to a
friend— 1 “show me,” said he, "your city press, and
I will loll you how your city nnd merchants are
progressing.” We venture that'that sagacious
individual would have linked well.’ firnt and laat
at tim ijatcrfiVnff columns of the paper Hint
might have been handed to hint, ere his judg
ment would have been pronounced.
The two editions of this paper now published,
the Morning and Afternoon’s edition, afford sit-
perior advantages to advertisers, than have pre
vailed here since the termination of the war, os
their advertisements will appear in botli editions.
Advertisements for the afternoon's edition should
be handed in by main of cadi day.
Sensation In Commercial Circles.
The latest on dit in commercial circles is tlic
rather pleasing intelligence that heavily freight
ed trains will henceforth run direct through from
huuisvillo to this point without change. Tills ar
rangement 1ms been resorted to in order Hint the
transmission of goods coming tills way may be
facilitated. We learn that entire trains, engines,
train-hands and all—will come direct through;
and we hope it may operate to the ndvantago of
tins commercial community, nnd cnnblo it to re
cover from the heavy losses It bos sustained from
the long complained of detention of freights.—
We arc indebted to a friend for the following
private dispatch, from which it will be seen that
"Hirough bills of lading” are made out from
Louisville to Atlanta, and os there is no trans
shipment at any )>oint, delays cannot |x>ssibly
arise from Hint cause. We give the dispatch in
order Hint interested parties may see that this
“ through arrangement ” ot trains is a fixed fact:

There is it large supply of Oats, liny and Flour
on the market. Flour has undergone no change,
while there lias been a slight decline in the arti

quantity at from 80 to 00 cents per bushel. The
receipts of Corn continue to bo' large, yet they
are scarcely equal to tho demnnd. A good arti
cle of prime White .from stores, by the quantity,
will readily command $1 '40 per bushel. At the

iho Next Cotton Crop-l’resent Price*, &c,
Tho steady decline lit tlto cotton market tho
past lew months, lias alarmed rnuny holders, who
iuvcHlcd In tim "staple" at advanced prices, mid
hns Induced an anxiety to sell nt present rate, in
anticipation of a still ffirther decline and conse
quent heavy losses. It Is the prevalent Impres
sion throughout tho country, that this downward
tendency will continue; until an approximation
to bid prices la renohed, though no one can ud-
vaucc,nuy solid or substantial reason in support
of this opinion. 'Flint It is not sustained by foots
or figures is potent to any one who will bring
ordinary Intelligence to tho Investigation of the
subject, ns I will now proceod to demonstrate.
Six months previous to the Collapse of the
Confederacy a committee was appointed by the
Confederate Congress, for the purpose of ascer
taining ns nearly as practicable, the number of
bales of cotton east of the Mississippi. That
committee was composed of intelligent gentle"
men representing the different Stntcs of tho Con
federacy, and had every facility necessary to en
able them to arrive at a correct estimate. Ac
cording to their report, ns submitted to Cougrcss,
there were at that time 875,000 bales in tliosu
States. Shortly afterwords Sherman’s army
commenced its march through Gcorgln nnd the
Carolinas, and as the Confederate army retired
before bis advancing columns they destroyed
property of all descriptions, tlmt could possibly
bo of valuo to tho enemy, nnd the little that es
caped their wrath was given to tho flnmes by the
order of Shcruum nnd bis subordinates—by
means of regular details for that purpose—who
were assisted by straggling incendiaries from the
main army, who hovered on tho flanks and in
the wake of ids line of mnreh. As the theatre
of war shiftedNorthwnrd, the cotton Stales were
abandoned to Ihn mercy of the Federal army—
every nook nnd comer of the country was per
meated by cavalry raids, composed of men whoso
malignant vindictiveness increased with the wan
ing fortunes of the Confederacy, and who de
lighted in the destruction of our property. It
would be n moderate estimate to state the num
ber of bales destroyed by Sbcrafan’s army, and
their cavalry raids, nt 150,000, lenving on Imm!
725.000 bales at the time of the surrender of
Johnston's army. Two-thirds of this has been
thrown upon the market, hundreds of thousands
of pounds of it is now in the bunds of consumers
in lids country, while folly 150,000 bales have
been shipped to Europe. Nine-tenths of the cot
ton South is now in the warehouses of.our prin
cipal cities—a bale of tbo “staple" being at this
time a rare sight la the interior. It is thought
by Intelligent men who have inquired into the
matter Hint 200,000 bales wilt cover the number
now In the South tliut will be thrown iqion the
market, under uny circumstances.
IVlint is the prospect for a good cotton crop
the present year? Tbo question is readily an
swered by recurring to fiicts nnd figures again.
Previous to the war 4,000,000 bales were consid
ered a good yield, the highest number overreach
ed being 4,000,000. Tlmt year the seasons were
remarkably favorable, and ilio crop was extraor
dinarily large. I, therefore, take tho first num
ber as a basis upon which to fonko my estimate.
According to a recent report made by General
Howard, chief Hie Frcedmen'sjBurcau, anil who
is doubtless well posted on the " nigger ques
tion,” 1,100,000 able bodied negroes died during
and since the war. Fact No. 1.
Nine out of every ten negroes now on terra
firtna, and heretofore engaged In the nnltivntion
of cotton, will not strike a single blow iu n cot
ton field this year. Thousands ol them are hud
dled around the cities nnd villages throughout
the country, and nro bent ou “ enforcing their
freedom." Fact No. 2.
Tho South lost 800,000 abled bodied white
men by disease nnd the casualties of war. Fact
No. 3.
Thousands of miles of fencing have been de
stroyed, and many of our most vnluablo forms
are without enclosures—cotton gins and presses
have been swept from cxistenco as if by tbo be
som of destruction—horses, mules, jacks and
Jennetts, have been stolen, Impressed, conscript
ed, and claimed by the " horse-details," sent out
by little petty post commandants—who consider
it high treason for a " d—m reconstructed rcb"
to plough the skeleton with n U. 8. branded up
on its shoulders, Hint was cither left to die in the
road, or “swapped” for a better one—until tho
people have been left in such a condition that
they find it difficult to cultivate enough soil to
supply the demand for biend. They cannot even
full back upon “ tbo ox reserve,” us tlmt element
of strength was “ absorbed" by tbo rebellion.
Several focts In a heap.
It Is a fact with which tbo most Ignorant nro
acquainted, tbut nine out of every ten bales of
cotton produced prior to the wnr, were made by
slave labor. Taking 4,000,000 bales as an aver
age, and the number of bales produced by sluve
labor as stated as correct, wo have 400,000 ns the
product ol white labor, before that bad lieeu re
duced by the casualties of war, Ac. Granting
fact No. 2—tlmt nine out of every ten bales made
prior to the war wore produced by slave labor,
nnd that nine out of ten negroes heretofore en
gaged In tbo cultivation of cotton will not strike
a single blow In a cotton field Hits year, we have
400.000 bales ns the maximum number tlmt cun
be grown tbo present year, under nny combina
tion of circumstances. This would give us 800,-
000 tbe present year. But there are still further
deductions to be made. Tbo 800,000 dead sol
diers of tho Confederate army would have raised,
at the lowest estimate, 75,000 bales. Subtract
this front tho 800,000, and wo have 725,000 ns u
u remainder. All of us acquainted with thu ne
gro—Ills natural disposition to Idleness, Ills re-
pugnauce to hoeing cotton? and the uncertainty
of that class of lalxtr uudor the present system-
will reqdily ageee tlmt tho result of the labor of
any given number of them will not reach within
a "rcspcctnblo approximation" to what it would
have been under tbe old regime, ami I do not
think I do injustice to that class of our popula
tion when I pro|K>so to deduct 100,000 front tbe
400,000, which tboso now engaged In agricultu
ral pursuits could uml would produce under a dif
ferent order of things. Allow this and wo have
035.000 bales as tbe next cotton crop. You, Mr.
Editor, may consider Hits an undcfcstlraato, but
1 feel confident tlmt events will demonstrate tbe
correctness of tbe estimate. I sincerely wish
that I may provo mistaken.
To what, then, is tbe present decline in cotton
attributable 7 Clearly to this one fltet—tbo Ig
norance of the Northern people—yes, of tho
world—as to the exhausted and Impoverished
condition of the South after her long, heroic and
disastrous struggle; to their ignorance of the
worthlessness of negro labor under present cir
cumstances, and tbo alarming scarcity of tho
most common noccisarios of lifts throughout our
section.
You must not infer that selfish motives prompt
tbe Inditing of this article. I only desire to pre

THE FENIANS IN NEW YORK.
New Yoiik, March 12.—Extensive prepara
tions are being mado by Irish citizens ot the me
tropolis for the celebration of St. Patrick's day.
Col. O'Mifooncy has Lssued an order for tho ph-
rado on tlmt occasion of tho UOfo regiment of na
tional guards. Tho knights of St. Patrick will
cclcbrato thu day by a banquet nt the Muison
Dorcu iu Union Square. Another meeting of tbe
Irish Societies of Brooklyn was held yesterday,
at which all tho nrrangeinouta for the anulversary
procession in tlmt city were completed.
The World, ol this morning, says that compa
nies and regiments of Fenians are being formed
with great rapidity, and it Is calculated that Gen.
Swceuey wm bo able, when he tce(s justified in
calling for their services, to procure iweuty-fiva
thousand able-bodied young men, who have seen
servico, in this city alone. It is known tlmt sixteen
thousand cartridge-boxes nutl knapsacks were
bought at nuotion last week, Irani a well-known
house in Park Place, and quantities of arms ami
ammunition are being negotiated for from day to
day, by officers detailed tor tlmt purpose, it is
probable that Col. Trcsham wilt command the
lint Fenian regiment from tills city, and a well-
known cavalry officer tbe second. An artillery
regiment is also being raised, nnd an independent
bnttallion for spccinl service, uudor the command
of Col Miirnliy, a veteran soldier.
Tbo Herald says tlmt movements of signifi
cance wero reported to I to in process of prepara
tion hero yesterday, nml funds continue to pour
into the Fenian Treasury in Washington. It is
suitl that Hie Fenians, in order to exhibit tho per
fidy of the British Government, will shortly make
some astounding developments in regard to the
direct assistance given by agents of Karl Russell
to the iutu rebellion in the South.
The World publishes n special from Albany,

inherit, purchase, lease, sell, hold, and convey
rcul nnd pcrsonnl property, and to have the foil

vnte nml reliable information from
Burlington,Vermont, states tlmt uniforms for 150,-
000 men, and 20,000 rilles of tlio very best patlcru,
Imvo been transported quietly, (hiring the Inst
ten days, from New York, anil from Troy to Bur
lington, Vermont, where they now remain con
cealed, awaiting the advance ol thu Fenian ar
mies. An nlmmlanco is said to lie ile|iosited at
Detroit, Bufl'ulo, Ogsdcnburg, Plnttsburg uml

teers, commanded by efficient officers, lmve been
organized iu Burlington, for servico In Canada.
