JcC ‘J'O THE CITIZENS OF GEORGIA The termination of a sanguinary contest, which for the past four years has presented an impassable barrier to all social or commercial intercourse between the two great sections of our country, having at length happily cleared away all obstacles to a removal of those relations which formerly bound us together In a fraternal union, I take the earliest opportunity afford ed me by this auspicious event, to greet my Sonthem friends, and to solicit from them a renewal of that ex. tensive business connection which for a quarter of a century has been uninterrupted save by the great pnb lic calamity to which I have adverted. It is scarcely necessary, on tlie threshold of a busi ness re union, I should repeat the warning so often given to my friends —to beware of all those spurious and de’cterlous compounds which, under the specious end false titles of Imported Wines, Brandies, Holland Gin, Liquors, &c., have been equally destructive to the health of our citizens and prejudicial to the interest of the legitimate Importer. Many years of my past life have been expended in an open and candid attempt to expose tbe3e wholesale frauds; no time nor expense has been spared to ac complish this salutary purpose, and to place before my friends and the public generally; at the lowest possible market price, and In such quantities as might suit their convenience, a truly genuine imported arti cle. Twenty-five years’ bu°lness transactions with the largest and most respectable exporting houses in France and Great Britain have afforded me unsurpass ed facilities for supplying our home market with Wines, Liquors, and Liqners of the best and most ap proved brands in Europe, in addition to my own dis tillery in Holland for the manufacture of the “Schie 4im Schnapps.’ , ' The latter, so long tested and approved by the med ical Faculties of the United States, West Indies and South America as an invaluable Therapeutic, a whole some, pleasant, and perfectly safe beverage in all cli mates and during all seasons, quickly exeited the cu pidity of the home manufacturers and venders of a spurious article under the same name. I trust that I have, after lnn.h toil and expense, sur rounded all my importations with safeguards and dl rections which with ordinary circumspection will In sure their delivery, as I receive them from Europe, to all my customers. I would, however, recommend in all cases where it is possible, that orders be sent direct to my Depot, 22 Beaver street, New York, or that purchases be made of my accredited agents. In addition to a large stock of Wines, Brandies, <fcc., in wood, I have a considerable supply of old tried for eign v fates, embracing vintages of many past yenrs, bottled up before the ’ commencement of the war, which I can especially recommend to all connoisseurs of these rare luxuries. In conclusion, I would specially call the early atten tion of my Southern customers to the advantage to be derived by transmitting their orders without loss of time, or calling personally at the Depot, In order to insure the iulfillment of their favors from the present large and well selected assortment.

MACHINERY RAILROADS—FREE TRADE-—GOLD DISCOVERIES. In tbe estimates made ol the rate of in crease of our National resources, we perceive that the decide between the years 1850 and 1860 has been selected by many who have written on this subject as the point of com parison with previous and subsequent de cades. This furnishes imperfect data for such comparison. If the rate of increase of our wealth and population was from 1840 to 1850 much below the rate of increase be tween 1850 and 1860, it may be safely said that the rate between 1860 and 1870 will be still farther beyond the late between 1850 and 1860. If the rate was for both wealth and population three per cent, per annum be tween 1840 and 1850, and eight per cent, per annum between 1850 and 1860, as has been asserted, thus doubling in ten years, it is safe to calculate that the rate of increase will be at least doubled between 1860 and 1870. As to the causes of this marvellous increase, our have taken a partial view of the subject. Jlr. Jay Cooke, in his pamphlet, gives tbe/hefs simply Without explanation.— An intelligent writer in the Atlantic Monthly, for April, attributes the increase to tbe pro gress of labor-saviDg machinery, particularly in Agriculture, from the Reports of the Com missioner of Agriculture aud the Commis sioner of Patents in 1360.'* This explanation, if it does not ignore, it excludes oue of the most powerful causes of general operation, m augmenting the wealth and population, not merely of the United States, but of the commercial and civilized world. We are not disposed to deny the in fluence r»f those processes by which time and labor are economized, and which have so largely contributed to the increase of Nation al riches/ hor to deny their influence to those other agencies—railroads, machinery and the removal of commercial restrictions—to which some have attributed this increase. These were, however, of local and partial effect, limited to those countries which have adopt ed free trade and made great progress In railroads and machinery, but the cause ol almost universal influence has been the gold discoveries in Russia, California and Austra lia, and which appear to have no limit. The additious4o the solid weJtbr of the world are not tbe sole benefit of those discoveries.— They have enterprise and en larged the field of adventure beyond any sim ilar discovery in the history of the human race. The benefit is not restricted to any Section of the world, but is commensurate with only*with the boundaries of commerce and industry. It has been stated in evidence of the fact that the gold discoveries have largely added to the solid wealth of the world, irrespective of machinery, free trade and rail road ex tension, that in ten years from 1847 to (the year before the California discoveries) to 1856, the imports of Great Britain increased from 90,000,000 to 172,000,000 at tlie rate of 90 per cent. Those of France, in the same pe riod, increased from francs to 1,872.000,000 francs, or at the rate of 96 per cent. English exports, during the same period, increased from 58,842,000 to 115,826,- 000, at the rate of 96 per cent. But the exports of Frauce, during the same period, increased fiom 719,759,000 francs to 1.805,- 800,000 francs or 159 per cent. The exports of Austria, during the same ten j r ears in crease 124 per cent. The growth in the trade in Austria and France has, therefore, in recent years, been more rapid than tbe growth of trade in England in the proposi tions lespectively of 124 to 96 and 159 to 96.* These facts show that the metalic treasures to which we have alluded arc intimately as sociated with the increased exports and im ports of three of the largest countries of Europe, having been acquired in the eight yeais (1847 to 1856,) within which this in crease of external trade had taken place, proving, also, that these treasures were not limited to any one country, but. had become geuerally distributed or diffused over the commercial world. But if any conformation of these views was required it would be afforded by what took place in England within tbe same period of eight years. The rate of interest in England fell from five to one and a half per cent per annum, from the great accumulation of gold in the Bank of England. This fall in the rate of interest produced the effect that always follows from cheap money. It stim ulated speculation as well as enlarged the limits of legitimate trade. It so produced a demand for capital beyond the means of supply that the rale of interest rose again to 5 per cent in a few months. Dear money succeeded to cheap money. The effect was felt, also on the rate of wages. There were numerous strikes for higher wages all over the United Kingdom vVages rose from 10 to 20 per cent. But the most striking effect followed in enabling France to defray a large share of the expenses of the Crimean war, and turn the balance of trade in her favor, while Eng land was not only enabled to defray the ex penses of her war commissariat in 1854, but PRICE. 5 CENTS to pay for a large importation of grain in consequence of a deficient harvest in 1853. The shipping interest also participated iu the benefits from the new gold. A circular in 1853, from a firm ("inserted in Tooke’a History of Prices) largely engaged in the shipping trade, said: “In 1852 we com menced to feel the benefits arising from open competition and the free exchange of com modities with other nations, increased to a surprising degree by rapid intercourse through the aid ol steam aud the enormos trade which steam itself created in the con veyance Freights rose, aud ail de scriptionffMM vessels weie materially en hanced in value. •' A still more rapid increase, however, took place after the discovery of the gold fields in California and Australia It can hardly admit of a question, says Tooke, that the influx of gold from Aus tralia saved this country from extreme com mercial pressure during the close of 1863 and early months of 1864." The same authority says, iu relation to France, “That those embarrassments and disorders (embarrassments and disorders which grew principally out ot a deficient harvest and the large expenditure on rail roads) would have become altogether over whelming if it had not been for the springing up since 1849, chiefly In the gold countries, and in consequence of the gold influx, of a demand for French manufactures and pro duce, so large and continuous, that during the nine years, 1848-1856, the balance of trade in favor of France has amounted to not much less than eighty millions sterling." {The general conclusion from this view is that, although tbe other agencies, railroads, steam navigation, free trade, improvements in machinery, etc , contributed their of effect, the gold discoveries have bad an equal, if not a larger, share of the influence within tbe last decade, in stimulating com merce and productive power J : • •soc Loudon Quarterly Review for April, article Parliamentary Refriii. —An old superstition was seriously revived lately in the north of England. A woman lost a brooch, and adopted the “key and Bible” method of detecting tbe thief. This method is as follows: A piece of string is tied round the Bible, the book is then laid on tbe table, and a key is spun round on the top of the Bible, and while the key is “going its rounds’ someone iu tbe company completes the charm by repeating a verse of Holy Writ, by way of guiding the movements of the re volving key. Tlie party to whom the end of the key points wlieu it has stopped is con sidered to he ihe guilty one. In the present case the key implicated the daughter of the loser of tbe brooch. —A ferocious eleplnmt haaiiacn committing frightful ravages in a northwestern province of Hindostan.
