BILL TO INCORPORATE THE SAVAN-
NAH IfAVIGATION COMPANY.
The term monopoly is one of odious signi
fication in a democracy. There are few
who will be induced to vote for a charter
granting exclusive privileges unless the gran
tees are hedged in by restrictions that cannot
be evaded. The opposition however to
monopolies is too indiscriminate. A large
part of our prosperity is due to chartered
privileges. In a country sparsely supplied

means by which they cooperate in produc
ing a laige capital for general objects. Banks,
Insurance officers, Railroad Coiporations,
Navigation Companies, <fec. &c., constitute
the instrumentalities by whose agency a new
country deficient in capital, is penetated
with lines of profitable communication, and
its productive resources indefinitely multi
plied.
But if the want of such appliances is felt
during peace, when a country is making
progressive advances towards wealth, how
much greater must be the necessity for cor
porate privileges as the means of attracting
capital after a destructive war? A mere
than ordinary stimulus to enterprise—a more
than customary incentive to investment is
demanded to repair the waste of war. The
odious cry of monopoly is hushed amidst the
etill greater cry of necessity.
There is no State in the Union in which
monopoly became so obnoxious as in Geor
gia. none in which privileges, were grant
ed m ire reluctantly, and when granted
fenced round more jealously against abuse.
But the lessous taught legislators by the de
vastations of war have become paramount.
There will no doubt be several charters of
incorporation granted belore the adjourn
ment of tiic present Legislature.
The bili to incorporate the Savannah Navi
gation Company is, wa are led to believe, ot
such a useful character as to recommend it to
the acceptance as well of capitalists as the
people of Georgia generally. Its object, we
understand, is to encourage immigration, and
to supply the means for its promotion!
through the agency of subscription to a
common fund. There cannot be imagined a
more accessary purpose. The most difficult
of the means to effect immigration is presented
by the poverty of tho immigrant, generally
speaking TheGermanand Swiss immigrants
possess means, with few exceptions, not only
to defray the expenses of a long voyage and
to support themselves and families until the
crop is prepared for market, but to purchase
land aud stock a farm ; but the Irish or other
immigrants require pecuniary aid, which nei
ther the individuals nor associations cm ad
equately supply.
PROVISION FOR THE MAIMED SOL
DIERS OF GEORGIA.
The Legislature among its other acts of
beneficent legislation we hope will pass the
bill introduced by Mr. Butler to provide the
maimed soldiers of Georgia with artificial
limbs at the expense of the State. This
would be indeed an act of humanity that
will reflect the highest honor on the State of
Georgia. It would form the true supplement
to that bili which has been introduced provi
ding for the support of the families of dec
eased or disabled soldiers fallen in the
service of the State dariDg the war. To
complete this series of beneficent measures,
the bill introduced to provide homesteads for
those who are destitute of shelter for their
families, wouid form the climax to those acts
of beneficence.
What enhances the merit ot this humane
legislation is that the 8tate has incurred
heavy losses and new pecuniary obligations
as the results of the war. Can it be with
any truth alleged that republics are ungrate
ful if only a part of these objects are accom
plished ? The State of Georgia has extended
a .helping hand to the families of such of her
citizens as have been left destitute from the
unavoidable absence from their homes of her
gallant sons in the field during tho war, and
not forgetting her obligations to such of them
as have survived the terrible conflict supple
ments her other acts of humanity with these
far; her measures of grace which place her
name high on the roll iu the galaxy of States
in the Western hemisphere.
AMERICAN INDEBTEDNESS.
We alluded in a recent article to a contro
versy going on in the English papers in rela
tion to American commercial indebtedness
the London Times contending that the Ameri
can merchants are running up a heavy bal
ance of debt against themselves, while other
English papers contend that if mere quantity
of exports ie assumed as the basis of calcula
tion, instead of relative values, no just con
clusion can be reached. To rely on the
figures supplied by tbe trade retuins, omit
ting those circumstances which qualify the
resuits of arithmetic, is to fall into error.
Writers tor the j ournals scarcely ever con
sult practical men, but rest their conclusions
oa theory. So it has proved in this case. A
London merchant engaged largely in the
American trade has rectified one of theerrore
of the Time?, which produces s great aiffer-
«cc3 in the result. He states that a large
part of the British exports for the three Inst
months of 1865 were made not on British but
American account—that the proceeds instead
of constituting a debt against the United
States, form a large part of the promts of their
merchuuts. Tbe war had denuded tbe
country of goods. The orders for European
merchanize were very large, and the mercan
tile gain enormous. Very little of the con
sequent importation of British goods can bo
classed as American indebtedness, but as
American profits.
The London Times placing reliance on
figures, and’ omitting all consideration of
circumstances that, go to qualify conclusions,
states as evidence of American indebtedness
the very limited export of staple productions
from the United States during tbe last three
months of 1865, inferring from this fact the
diminution of our productive power. Here,
again, is evidence of the want of attention to
fuc'.3 which modify the conclusions of theory.

He will Introduce his inimitable Performing Rus
sian Horse
“CZ A R.”
This horse was raised In Southern Russia by a Cir
cassian soldier. Like the Arabians, the nomadic
people of his tribe form the strangest and most In
violable attachments to their unexcelled horses —
They make their favorite coursers their special com
panions, and train them to be very fleet and Intelli
gent, This circasslan.'dnrlng one of his wandering
tours, became very needy, and soon found eager pro-
>osers for the purchase of his splendid horse,
ast he consented to part with him. He was brought
before the purchaser, and there ensued a scene that
has been used as a subject of a poet’s pen. At a sig
nal from him, the horse,
‘ With flowing tail and flying mane,
Whh nostrils never stretched by pain,
Mouth bloodless to the bit or rein ;
And feet that Iron never shod,
And flanks unscarred bv Bpur or rod,
Tne bounding horse—the wild, the free—
Like wave that dashes on the sea.
Came proudly thundering on.”
There stood the noble horse, the admiration of
every beholder. No steed of the Tartar, or Ukraine
or Arab breed could be more beautifully formed.—
Never (lid Landseer or Rosa Bouheur see or Imagine
a more perfect animal.
He will also Introduce hls thoroughbred Trick
Horse,
“ANDY JOHNSON,"
hls comic pony “JANUARY,” and his EDUCATED
MULES.
He will execute hls FLYING LEAP, or Leap lor
Life, every Afternoon and Evening.
