TIIK COTTON OP UEOBUIA.
Reliable estimates show that at the- close
of the war there were about twq hundred
thousand bales of cotton in Georgia,of which
seventy-five per cent belonged to private
individuals and the remainder to the Con
federate Government and subjects of •foreign
powers. With regard to the movements of
this cottOD,the correspondence of a Northern
paper says:
“Fifty thousand bales were shipped North
and to Europe direct, leaving one hundred
and fifty thousand bales unsold and waitiug
transportation. The United States Treasury
agents have been nosing out that belonging
to the Confederacy, but with very indifferent
success. The accouuts and operations fi
nancially of the Confederate Government,
anterior to the administration of Air. Mem
minger, were upon such a loose principle,
that it was hard to tell whether it owned a
great deal or nothing at all. And here it
may be remarked that one of the prime
causes which led to the downfall of Jett'.
Davis’ Government was the peculations of
its quartermasters and other parties holding
its funds. As an instance, there was a man
acting as quartermaster, in a Southern city,
for four years. He was not worth the second
shirt to his hack when appointed, but when
turned out of office by Major-General Wilson,
U. fi A., he was worth half a million. And
another is now one of your chief Wall-street
bulls, who made all his money here in the
same way. These eases might he summed
up aud enumerated indefinitely. They first
caused the people to lose confidence iu the
currency which was the entering wedge that
split up the whole concern."
Leb at the Grave of Jackson;—A cor
respondent of the New York Daily News,
writing from Lexington, Va., giving some
account of the place and its attractions,
•ays:
“But the greatest attraction to the visitor to
Lexington, and indeed the Mecca to which,
in years to come, many pilgrims will resort,
is the grave of Stonewall Jackson. Last
Sabbath afternoon, the burial of a member
of the Order attracted to the beautiful ceme
tery of the town a long procession of Odd
Fellows, and an immense crowd of citizens,
and I went, that 1 might avail myself of the
opportunity of visiting the grave of the
chief whom I had so often followed to vic
tory. No stone marks the spot, which is in
dicated simply by a staff, upon which the
Confederate flag onpe floated; but the wreath
of flowers, laid by fair' hands on the grave,
and kept fresh by daily additions, is a fit
emblem of the place the hero holds in the
memory and affections of the people of the
South. As long as true greatness, honor,
purity of character, and .deep-loued piety
are esteemed, Jackson will not be forgotten.
I was told, that immediately on his arrival in
Lexington, to assume his place in the Wash
ington College, General Lee paid a visit to
the grave of Jackson, and lingered for a long
time aiound the hallowed spot. Lee at the
grave of Jackson, would form a picture which
a master hand mightdelight to paint.”
State Sovereignty gone by tlie Hoard.
' At bis inauguration on the 29th ult., Gov
ernor Orr, of South Carolina, addressed the
members of the Legislature in an able and
manly speech, in the course of which he said:
“The war has decided that one or more of
the Slates of the Federal Union have not the
right, at will, to secede therefrom. The
doctrine of secession, which was held to be
orthodox in the Stale Rights school of poli
tics, is now exploded lor any practical pur
pose. The theory of absolute soyereignty of
a State of the Federal Union (from whence
was derived the right to secede,) which was
believed almost universally to lie a sound
constitutional construction, must also be ma
terially modified to conform to this imposing
decision. In all powers granted in the Con
atitution.to the Federal government it is
supreme and sovereign, aud must he obeyed
and respected accordingly. Where the rights
of a State are disregarded, or unconstitu
tional acts done by any department of the
Federal government, redress can no longer
be sought by interposing the sovereignty ot
the State, either tor nullification or secession;
but the remedy is by petition or remon
strance —by reason, which sooner or later
will overtake justice—by an appeal to the
supreme judicial power of the Union ; or by
revolution, which, if successful, is treason.
The decisiou was far more imposing and
obligatory than it it bad been pronounced by
the Supremu Court of the United States. Had
it been tried there, an effort to reserve it
might have been made, because its idem hers
and opinions often change. But the God oi
Battles has pronounced an irreversible judge
ment, after a long, desperate and sanguinary
struggle, and it would be neither politic nor
patriotic ever again to invoke anew trial of
the fearful issue.
—The Louisville Journal attaches some
importance to a rumor that an immense
quantity of powder is being accumulated at
Cairo, aud |tliat commissary’s, quartermas
tera’s and medical stores are gathering there
for a hundred thousand men.
