SAMUEL W. .llASOS, Editor, \V. T. THOMPSON Associate Editor. TUESDAY JANUARY 9. I860. STEAMBOAT DISASTERS. The closing months of the past year have been fearfully crowded with events of dis aster by sea a'oag the Southern Atlantic sea board. Toe wreck "f the Constitution is the cb sing catastrophe of a season of accidents, which, for destruction of life and property, is perhaps unprecedented in the history of cc an navigation. Tue contemplation of this melancholy truth does not tail to tXCito inquiry iuto the OlUi-l-s of the fatality which has been marked by such horrible consequences. The heavy weather and roug > seas experienced hy the mariner during the brief period referred to, although severe, have uot exC:eded in vio lence i return> demons rations of the storm king wnic i were attend d but by 1< w if any accidents of the Ch ir ic er whicj uavc signal ■ iicii the autumn of 18K5. The knowledge of this fact has given rise to the .unpleasant apprehension that many of the accidents which have recently occurred are traceablu either to tlie want of proficiency on the part of the officers in charge, or un- aeaworthlness of the unfortunate vessels themselves. This appreheusion is greatly in creased by contrasting the insecurity of Steamboat navigation between our northern and southern ports with the security which has so uniformly attended the navigation o similar crafts between New York ami Liver pool. We have in vies a remarkable instauce of what prudence, care aud good manage ment can do towards preventing “accidents" in the Cunard steamship line. Many of the readers of this paragraph must know wbat a voyage across the ocean is, and particular ly duriDg the winter. Besides the hazards of the wiuds, which for a part of the year. hurry the Atlantic like so many furies, aud of the waves, that are tossed to the skies by so many mad monsters, those very iarge steuto-hips incur peculiar ilsks from tire aud from the breaking of m .caineiy. What are the dangers of our steamers luuuing coastwise, iu sight ol land, compared with a voyage across the ocean ? But mark the triumph of human genius guided by good sense and care. The Cuuard steamship line began its transit across the ocean, if we have been correctly informed, in the year 1840, and has been consequently Just twenty-five years,‘ or a quarter of a cen tury in operation. During that time its ■hips have made about three thousaud pas sages. They have passed over more than seven millions of miles of route, which is equivalent to about twenty-eight times around the entire globe. In this enormous course they have carried, at all seasons aud In all weathers, some four hundred thousand passengers. Well, during this time (let our steamboat men read aDd ponder): 1st. Tney have nevqr failed to sail on the appointed day, and almost at the appointed hour. 2d. They have never lost a pa;3etiger by any conduct of their own. Oice or twice passengers have lalleu or jumped overboard, and once the Europa rau into another vessel during a dark aud stormy night. Id. No injury has ever occurred to aDy passenger from accident to, or arising from the in ichiuery. N:.w, these facts may seem extraordinary, and, measured by the standard of our usual American practice, they are extraordinary. But they are none the less easy of explana tion. The tnauagers of that liue knowing the laws of nature, knowing too, the usual experience aud dangers ot the sea, take care to provide against them as far as human in genuity cm do so. The con-equence is “good luck,” as it is called, or an almost complete exemption from these preventabh Casualties w >ic;i we cdl accidents. T-i y h ivu no iiccid_nts, simply bectu-e tiny provide ng.iust them by adopting means to mat end. It might be tue same with other steamboat if the managers would adopt tlie same pre coition, by the purchase of substantial ves sels and tuo employment in all ca.es of skiil- fm and prudent officers. Tnere is no reason why wu reap a crop of frightful steamboat accidents iu sight of land when it may be avoided by proper foresight, cautiousness and cure. Tue law of nature, of materials and motion are invariable, and we only need to adopt our works to their immutable rule to render them perfect, to lift them above every contingency and mishap. Unless the hazard of transportation by sea in our American steamers is greatly dimin ished by tbe use of precautions which have tieen found effectual in other and more dan gerous waters, the travelling public will be forced tq seek other routes ot travel, however Circuitous and expensive they may be. “As long as the only form of money wa9 specie it is shown that no increase in the re serve capital of a country could take place without an increase of the precious metals The amount of these metals needed for the ordinary transactions of the country would not diminish—on the contrary, it ever aug ments, in consequence of tbe steady increase of these transactions. So that, as long as nothing but specie passed for money, each progres-ivo country would require an in creasing amount of the precious metals to carry on even its internal business, payment of tuxes included. And still more bullion would be required if (as always happens) ihe reserve capital as accumulated profits were likewise increasing. More specie can not he stored, whether in bank or in its own- era' coffers, unless more bullion i9 hi ought into the country. And bullion can only Come in as o consequence of the exports exceeding the imports. H uce toe old mercantile system, which aimed at keeping th , e exports always in exess of the imports, which teas qu,te right in in das As long us specie was the only w-e<> iiizoil kind ot money, and the only f.irin io w ica reserve Capital could be Stored it was advantageous for a progressive count v to keep its exports in excess ol its imports, otherwise it would have no means „t suitably storing the capital which was ac cumulating.” , It is impossible for more false doctrine to be comprised iu the same space. Because the Bank of England has been clothed with ■ he power, by raising the rate of interest, to prevent the export of gold, leading to fluc tuations ia amount of credit, because there who occupv them, or their mourning drapery remind B8uf the tact. Retire to the seclusion and privacy of otir own homes and the absence of our loved ones still reminds U3 of our hu miliation Go into the country, and smoking ruius, dilapidated terms abandoned home stead's aud vagrant negroes repeat tbe melan choly tale. There is, however, a bright side, or rather a side not so dark to this picture. Wu believe that the policy of the present Administration, so far at least as it cau be is abuse of this power, therefore it is argued that it would be wise to impose an export duty oil gold iu order to produce a favorable balance of trade. Would not the remedy for the abuse of the power with which the Bank of England is clothed destroy the monopo ly? Would nut the corrective be found to lie In permitting competition, both iu lend ing capital and the issue of paper money, with proper safeguards against an abuse of the privilege of such issue by giving ade quate security against the abuse, as the Na tional banks are now compelled to give ? This is the very remedy for the evil proposed by the writer in Blackwood, in his previous numbers. Why revive the exploded doc- trine of the balance of trade ? If England is occasionally compelled to export gold tiorn an unfavorable harvest or for the pay- meut of subridies, this is the fault ot her legislation, and is not imputable to any ima ginary excess of imports over exports. Aoy such imaginary cause can only be of tempo rary duration, and will correct itself. It is a bad sign when an enlightened Journal like Blackwood’s Magazine seeks to justify the mercantile system in order to put down the monopoly of the Bank of England and the errors of its administration. That the land of Adam Smith should have given birth to such false doctrine surprises us. “That bullion can only come in as a Consequence of the exports exceeding the imports” is a principle that the facts of his tory ia hourly disputing. What becomes of the large stores of gold and silver which have been the produce of California and Australia within tbe last fifteen ypars? Have 'hey not been distributedamoDgcommercial nations in proportion to their wants? Have the sums required by the wants of trade oeen acquired by a part of those nations at the expense of the remainder? Or are they uot the consequence, not of a balance of trade, but of the wealth of those nations in which all have participated? Qr let us imag ine that tbe wants of nations had outgrown the supply of the precious metals, would not those substitutes which were found adequate at a later period have supplied those wants? INVISIBLE CAPITAL. The December number of Blackwood’s Magatiuo has, under tbe above title, pub lished a queer articlo. The author of this paper has ic several previous numbers 1 aunebed some well written invectives against the. monopoly of tbe Bank of England as well as the administration ot its affairs. In pur-uiog his inquiries the writer has gener alized with success, but wilhout nove ty, the principles that underlie the subject of mo ney and paper currency, tracing them to that economy of Capital from its origin in the use of money to its latest development—the em ployment of substitutes in the various forms of credit. But in this development he has propounded the extraordinary theory that in tbe "successive steps of this progress tbe mercantile system of political economy, ns it baa been called, was a necessary sequence of the progress. The phrase “Invisible Cap ital” has been adopted by the writer to ex press the various forms ot credit, such as back notes, bills of exchange, cheques and book debts that perform all the functions of capital without capital being at all visible, to the amount of millions. In his historical view of the progress ot banking be traces the progressive adoption ot banks of deposit, of circulation and clearing houses with suf ficient accuracy. But it will startle our read ers to know that England has returned to tbe mercantile system, which is well known to be that of legislation to effect a favorable balance of trade—an excess of exports over imports, the difference being received in gold or silver. The following extract will sur prise all who are conversant with the history of commerce and the causes of its prosper ity which is made to depend not on repipro- cal advantage, but gains on one side a ad SUPE IOR COURT OF CHAT HAM COUNTY.

The following is the CHAROK TO TH* GRAND JDRT. Mr. Foreman and Gentlemenof the Grand Jury: Though under circumstances very differ ent from wbat we, or at any rate I hail hoped and expected, yet I am happy once more to meet you in an official capacity. Since our last meeting our beloved Georgia has passed through deep and troubled waters. The iron car of war has passed over our beautiful hills and fruitful valleys, and ruin and deso lation have marked its track. Our fields have been laid waste, oar homes have been made desolate, our churches have been dese crated, our families have been dad in mourn ing. Scarce a household but has a vacant seat at its table, a vacant place at'itafireside. Sorrow and mourning have entered alike the mansions ot the rich and the humble log hut of the poor- Look where you will and yon see the evidence of broken fortunes, enter what dwelling you may and you Tned with broken hearts that mount some dear one ab sent—absent, never to teturn. Everythin* around os reminds us of our condition. Q5 into tbe streets, and the meeting of unfa miliar faces and the sight of military garbs possible—bub not remember so keenly oar humiliation. In looking at the past such is the picture presented to our view. The truth, the un welcome truth, the humiliating truth stares us in the face, that in the battle for the right of self-government we have lost; that in the game for independence we have been check-mated. The why and the wherefore of this result does not now concern us. The fact and its causes belong to the past. The historian may hereafter enter upon the-enquiry, aud discuss it for the instruction and benefit of mankind. Our business is with the present. Let ns accept the truth iu all its length aud breadth, with ail its consequences, aud enquire as to the duties devolving upon us, and as far as possible ac commodate ourselves to the circumstances surrounding us. However dark the future may be lei us not make it darker by inacti vity and despondency. We must put our shoulders to tbe wheel and work alike for individual prosperity and the prosperity of our State. We may not rebuild again the portions we have lost, but by industry, econ omy aud perseverance we"can at least sur round ourselves with all the comforts and most of the luxuries of life. We may not again furnish the same amount of cotton for foreign, consumption, nor in my judgment is it desirable that we should; but we can at least always raise enough for our own con sumption, and more than that is by uo means necessary to our happiness and prosperity. Our mild climate ami fruitful soil are the best securities we can have that we shall never waul for bread. And if we have food and clothing for ourselves and families, what more has the richest man on earth ? Resolve to buy as litile as possible. Do uot entertain the idea toi|a mornei t that anything can be bought cheaper than, or indeed as cheap us It can be made. It is s iid that figures cannot lie. As a general'truth, I am not disposed to dis pute the proposition, but in the matter of agricultural economy, and I am now address ing those of you who live aud expect to live, by digging th< earth,) figures are fre quently, indeed almost always at fault. Let me give you an example: an acre ol’ ground will produce cotton, the sale of which will furnish the means of buying more corn than you can rflake on the same acre. You can make the calculation for yourselves: an acre of ground that will produce twenty bushels of corn wifi yield at least one hundred and fifty pounds of chain cotton. With the cot ton you can buy three or four times more corn than you cau make. Now, wbat is the conclusion to which these figures bring you ? figures that cannot lie. The conclusion is that it is cheaper and more profitable for a farmer to buy his corn than to make it—a conclusion that we know to be false. We know it to be false, although we may not be able to answer the argument, except in one way, and that way is this : If It be true that figures cannot lie, it is also true that facts are stubborn things. Now what is the fact ? Did you ever know a thriving, prosperous farmer who bought his corn ? I venture to say you never did. No thriving farmer ever buys corn. And this fact is the only answer we can give to the argument. The answer is complete. We know that the fact differs from the conclusion to whieh the argument brings us. We therefore know that argu ment is defective, although we cannot say iu what the delect consist.-. The same is trus in regard to clothing. Ac cording to the argument from figures, it is cheaper to sell your cotton and buy your osuaburgs, stripes and calicoes; but let me leH you, it will bo an evil day for Georgia when the 'hum of the spinning-wheel is h DO longer heard and our domestic looms are laid aside as rubbish. Every ;aimer in Georgia should manufacture his own clothing. Let Northern and South ern factories supply the dwellers in cities, but let the tiilers of the soil spin and weave the cotton that they grow, at least to the ex tent of their own wants. If there he a sur plus, sell it and purchase such luxuries as you may want and as cannot be raised on the farm. But do not aim at growing a large surplus. Belter turu your attention to the rai.-ing of grain;—in thi9 way you will be enabled to raise your own beef and bacon, your own horses aud mules*- I have not the statistics before me, aud therelore cannot tate the amount which the South pays an- lually to the West for these articles, but it oots up a very large amount- This heavy ax we can save by pursuiug the course I nave recommended. And you remember what poor Richard t-ays in his almanac: “A penny saved is a penny gained." Let it be our object, not so muen to make money as to save it. This is the only road to inde pendence that is now left open to us. It is broad and it is easy. We can travel it and oo man, North or South, has any right to complain. We are certainly under no obli gations moral, religious or political, to buy f om others what we c-.in make for ourselves, iu this way we may achieve a bloodless in dependence. We shall not have occasion to •.nourn as we now mourn the gallant, (will it be treason to add?) the patriotic dead who sleep upon a thousand battle-fields. I have no doubt that the course 1 have re- commeuded can be successfully carried out uuder the system of free labor, for it con- t -mplates small farms, and a higher and more improved state of cultivation. This has now become a matter of necessity with us. The plantation system is forever at an end, lor slave labor is necessary to that system. That system amounted simply to this: we made io!tou to buy negroes, and we bought negroes to make cotton. Our constant aim wft9 to add to our acres and the number of our slaves. Tuis is a marked distinction between the planter and thefarmcr. The aim ot tbe farmer is not to add to his acres, but to the fer tility of those that he has. He has no wish o add to his laborers, for, however rich hia lands, he will reqirc no more laborers to work them than it they were poor. I know there are some who think the plantation sys tem can be successfully carried on with tree labor. I am uot of the number, and my opinion is based on my knowledge (perhaps it would be more modest to say my opinion) of the negro character. The plantation sys tem requires unintermitted aud continued la bor during the whole year. And there are certain seasons of the year when an inter mission of labor for a very short time is the certain loss of the crop. Now, it is at least problematical whether the negro can be kept to this continued uninterrupted labor without some stronger force than the obliga tion ot a contract. There may be, there doubtless.are exceptions; but as a class they don’t seem to have any idea of tbe binding nature of a contract. Such, at least, has been my experience since emancipation. Their sense oi moral obligation is not very nice: their sense of personal honor not very high. Now, if the contract upon which the employer relies for making a crop be broken, where will be find redress? Do you tell me that the negro forfeits bis wages? Ip wbat respect does that benefit the enre ployer? The negro loses bis wages, but the employer loses his crop* Do you tell me that damages may be recovered? That is very well if yon will go a little farther and tell me how to get “blood out of a turnip.” In this respect field Jiands differ very widely from house servants. If a house servant violates bis contract and leaves you he for feits bis Wftges, and, althottgbyoumay foeput to great inconvenience, yob will at least fiaye haq bis services during the time tbaj he re mained with yon for nothing. But it your field bands leave you at a critical time of the crop you lose not only the fruits of their ia- bor but tbe fruits of your own labor sad at tention, and in addition you lose all the ex- days or weeks, but lie is sure to get tired i.t n contract that o/nhraCes the whole year, and wheu tired of it lie will have lilt(e or no scru ple in breaking it. The liberty’ to break his contract is a prominent feature in bis idea of freedom ,• tbe obligation to work a prominent feature in his idea of slavery. It is for these reasons that I hope to see the fanning sys tem adopted in Georgia. I believe that un der that sy.-tem we may rot become a great, prosperous and independent people, * * jwrt By special order of Brig. Gen. TilUon, Actln^ASf t.

An independucce that violates no constitutional or other compact. No construction ot ihc Constitution as yet has gone so far as to deny us the right to supply our own wants. Such are very brieflf my views of the du ties we owe to ourselves and to Georgia. I must not omit to add that we also owe some thing to the Union of which our Slate is a member—or rather of which we hope she soon will be a member. There may be some who feel that they will never again exercise jilp rights of a citizen ol the United States. That is a matter that every one may right- 1 dlly determine for himself, but whether you claim the rights of a Federal citizen or not you are equally hound obey the Constitu tion and laws of the country iu which you are living. The great majority of our peo ple, however, will not only claim, but exer cise the rights of Federal citizens. One of these rights, and the one we will have most Request occasion to exercise, is the right of voting. ■ Upon the proper exercise of this right depends the welfare of the country— depends the welfare of our beloved Georgia. To exercise this right wisely aud properly is by no means an easy matter. We are loo apt to be led astray by personal and party feelings. VVe should be particularly guard ed in regard to these influences, and cast our votes for the best rneu. And by tlie best meu, I do not mean the men of greatest in tellect—1 mean honest and upright men. Give me an houest heart and I am willing to risk the head. Honesty, integrity and up rightness have always been imp>rtant, but perhaps more important now than ever be fore. It is certainly more important now, if it be true as some think, and I fear rightly think, that oue result of the war has been to centralize aud consolidate the Federal Gov ernment. It is perhaps too soou to come to any definite conclusion on this subject. We have not yet had sufficient time to observe the working of the Government uuder the new order ot tilings. But if it be true, how importaut that the Administration be always iu the hands of upright, honest aud patriotic men. Just in proportion as the power of the Government is increased, is it important that we have wise, honest aDd up right men to administer it. The question, it is said, was once propounded to the seven wise men of Greece—“which is the best form of Government? ’ One of them answered, and I think answered wisely: “That Gov ernment is best which is best administered." Aud no one I suppose will deny that that Government is best administered, when all tbe powers of the Government are exerted for the promotion of the public good. It lEien, it be true that the Government has btc une consolidated, how important that the great powers with which it is c othed be exerted for the promotion of the public good. If this could be secured to us, which, however, ia Impossible, its great power would lie rather a blessing than a curse; for just in propor tion as a Government has the power for evil, it has also the power for good. Take lroin a Government the power to do evil and you necessarily take from it also the power to do good. I am not advocating or justifying an increase of power in the Federal Govern ment. Few men cau resist the temptation to abuse power,—it is not, therefore, sale to entrust any man or set of men with too much power. Wbat I wish to impress upon yon is this: that if it be true, as some sup pose, that the Government has become con solidated ; that all tbe checks to the abuseof power by State Bights and State Sover- eigntyhave been removed, then the greater is the necessity that we ulways have a wise, honest and patriotic administration—that we always have the Government in the hands of those who will use its powers for the pub lic good. And the way to have a wise, honest and patriotic administration is to cast our votes at all times for wise, houest and put liotic men. To accomplish this we must be particularly careTul uot to indulge in strong and violent party feeling:;. Parties are perhaps unavoidable in any government short of absolute despotism, and if kept with in, proper limits parlies are useful. They fur nish a check to the abuse of power by mak ing it tlie interest of those in power to do right. But that blind party zeal, which moves ami is moved only by the spoils of of fice will sopner or later destroy any govern ment. Especially avoid sectional parties.

That is to say, a man who will not injure one sec tion of the country for another, but who will protect equally the rights and the interests of all. This is not that sectional partyism against \ hich I caution you. All other tbiDgs being equal, it is perfectly right and pioper to support for office a man of our own sec tion, but if our sectional feelings carry us beyond this, we will be wanting in our duty, not only to the Union but to tbe State of Georgia. There are many other duties devolving upon us as citizens, besides that of voting. I have called attention to the exercise of the elective franchise particularly, because that is the duty we will huye most frequent occasion to diiChargc. Permit me in this connection to refer to another class of duties,—I mean those duties which arise from the new rela tion iu which we stand to the negroes. In our dealings with the' freedmen let us be not only just, but liberal. We must remember Hint they have now no kind master to pro vide for their wants, or take care of them in sickness and old age. They must provide f>r themRelve3, and in doing so must judge for thennelf-'S whether it will, be for their interest to remain with their former masters. In a majority of cases it will be a great error ot judgment to leave their former masters,— ' for no si ranger will or indeed can feel the same interest in their welfare. Still it is a matter of which they must judge for them selves ; and whatever be their judgment it can be no just cause for unkind feeling. For myself, the only feeling I leave for the negro is a feeling of pity,—pity lor the sufferings immediately before them,—pity for the doom that certainly awaits them in the future—a doom of absolute and total extinction. The negro free, cannot live by the side of the white man. must waste away and dis appear. The Barnum of a hundred years henee will have a negro in his museum as its greatest attraction, provided he be able at that time to find one, which is very doubt ful. When I gay we mu9t be liberal in onr dealings with the freedmen, I mean liberal in the terms and conditions of tbe contracts we may make with them; but when the contract is made they should tie held to the strictest performance. T.n this way only can they bo made to understand the binding nature of contracts. Their ideas npon this subject, as already intimated, are yery loose. They seem to think that it is a part of their liberty to break their contracts at pleasure. Such, at least, is my conclusion from my own limited experience, qnd from information re ceived as to the experience of others.
