THOMPSON, Associate Editor. , Official Paper of the City. LARGEST CIRGULATIOfl IH THE CITY AND COUNTY TUESDAY FEBRUARY 6, 1868. 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 IN GENERAL. —The gas works In Charleston, 8.

The Gulf u re- r.ed'full < - ~ 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. = AUCTION saLE^ REAL ESTATE at AUCTION 1 ^ Bj Bell, Wylly & Christian.
