tto (The Until) licrald. The Savannah Daily Herald 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.
