This is the qaesuon which gives riso lo
serious demeanor and whioh has some

We met an old distinguished ncqaaln
lance in the course of our peregrinations
a few days since: his face, habitually j
calm and thoughtful, now wore the marls I
of care and decj> anxiety Divining the
cause, wo ashed his opinion of the “slt

tiie people of the North are willing to
make It, though the Linoolu Government
is not. The people oI tho Northern
Statue will, in time, see the abyss of er

the federal Government with absolute
power, and inaugurate a coumor-rcvolu

have come. Tho question with mo is
whether our Governments will not. fail to
discern and follow up an advantage \
similar lo tho one tottitred in the North

more ago, and thereby hasten the end of
this wicked war. 1 believe, said he, it

South, could be nllowtd to speak, peace
would be restored in silly days on the

Such are the thoughts of a ripe schol

they are timely and suggestive.

The Charleston Mercury, in remark
ing oif tho nppr.rtut want of talent and
statesmanship in tho Coulodernto Gov
ernment, says:
We are of those who bclievo there i l '
talent and capacity in the country, but
it has not been greatly encouraged and
developed in either civil or military life,
t ompctcucy once was a iocs ure of pre
ferment. In wise and virtuous republics
ii has been con. idered a grand criterion
of tituoss for the public service. Suoccss
was formerly the standard us military
excellence, lint unquestionably these
principles have not been applied in this
revolution. Qualities more amiable,
and loses imposing and valuable, have
constituted the tests of limess for public
responsibilities. I’ersoual conplaoonce
ami popular pleasantness have had a
large desirableness in lilt) eyes of all—

The Me rcury then refers to tbe bon

lieorgia, Alabama, Tonne: eo, and Vir

the comprehensive iulolleet and exalted

an exile from liis native Tennessee—a
man whose name is a household word
on both continents- -a ripe Sialesman -

intellect untied with and directed by the
pure heart, of the true Christian and pa
triot—and yet our Government has never
availed itself of bis wise and conserva

calamity and impending danger. We
might add to this a brilliant catalogue of
other names from tiro same and from

oi Iter S6O per bale.
Ati intelligible dcveripljoii ran be
given of packing cotton into wooden
boxes, provided the rentier will keep iu
view two facts—first, that the Cotton is
racked in the head or end of the box,
and second, that the cotton reacts in the
direction wbonco it wits pressed.
A common screw will pack twenty
light pounds of cotton to every cubic
foot, provided the column of cotton does
not exceed a square or round surface of
two and n half feet in diameter. A
cubical box two autl a half foot iu di
mensions contains fifteen nnd a half
cubic feet, and will, by experiment, hold
four hundred and thirty pounds of cot
ton, packed with an ordinary screw.
The box can ho made with sides of pine
hoards ono half inch or less, tiud a
board in each end of inch plank.
When packed, bind with iron hoops,
fastened with tho chain link, three hoops
on each side running perpendicularly
with the Bides, and lapping ouc another
at right angles on both sides, and form
ing a network of the hoops where the
j groat resistance is to be overcome, that
[ is the ends or heads of the bale cr box.
The peculiar property of cotton above
alluded to, of resisting or reaching
mainly in the direction whence it was
pressed, gives practicability to this mode
of confining it.
If one hoop, or two, or even five, are
lost, the remaining holds tho lint iu a
body as solid as wood. —Stlmn U p.

extract from a ietter just received from

intelligence of this gentleman entitles
his statement to tlie utmost confidence.
And if the public sentiment of Edinburg
is so favorable to us. there is no reason
to suspect it much otherwise throughout
the kingdom, lie say s :
“I earue ily hope tlutt this horrible
war will aoou bo at au end, and that it
nil! end by the South getting its inde
pendence : for it is a most monstrous
doctrine that if nearly half a continent,
which the South may tie said to be,
wishes to be its own master, the other
half has the right to say no, and attempt
to enforce its dootrinc by tire and sword.
Such is my view of the case ; and those
in this city. I may tell you. who are of
the opposite opinion, are but few and

Kegistcr s lum been charged with a ten
dency to Reconstruction. It fays (hat
any oiiq making such allegation is
either an ediot or a calumniator. It con
skiers reconstruction an impossibility —a
result filial tain able, even if earnestly
debited by every man, woman and child
in the South. The time for Reconstruc
tion bun passed.
We believe the absurdity of the at
tempt to create two consolidated Gov
t-rumen's from the wreck of the Union,
was iirst announced by Win. Wirt, on the
occasion of the trial of Aaron burr,
when ha adverted to the possibility of
damming tip the Mississippi with bul
rushes. The reversion to the several
Btfttee of their unimpaired nationality,
as a consequence of Lincoln’s appre
hended invasion of the South, during
the session of ib • Peace Congress at
Washington, was the theme of discus
sion among gentlemen, two of whom
still occupy seats in the Federel Con
gress. The future condition of the Amer
ican States, and their relations to each
other, was illustrated iu a speech by a
Northern statesman in tho Federal Sen
ate, in February, 1801, by reference to
the German Zollverein.
The <• plans of f)cfmancnt pacification
arc still entertained nf the North, and
while waging a defensive war, it becomes
us lo promulgate aggressive ideas. The
| progress made is shown in the fact that
t there are newspapers in New Log land
j now advocating the obliteration of State
boundary lines, and the concentration of
;t 11 power in the hands of tho Federal
Government. To this Las tern pari y
ihero necessarily arises an organized op
position, whose power resides mainly in
the West. The tendency to extremes,
and the subsisting differences between
Northern parties and politicians, is illus
trated by that enactment of the Federal
Congress which created the territory of
Nevada, its organic act declaring that I he
primary allegiance of its inhabitants shall
be due to the Federal Government.
The original smuggle, preparatory to
this revolution, began in Illinois, in
which local sovereignty v/ns the issue.
Lincoln was then, as now, a consolida**
tionisi. The opposition to Lincoln still
lives, disarmed, subjected to the despot'
hm of the purse, the prison and the
bayonet. The press and legislation of
the South should address itself to this
suppressed popular sentiment of the
North, and we are happy to have the
authority of the Sun for tho assertion
that the policy we have advocated is
“now regarded by the Confederate tfov
ernmeut with some degree of favor.”
The assertion t hat tho >S 'un is lavora»
ble to Reconstruction is not less absurd
than that preferred against this journal.
In very truth, we reverse the idea of Re
construction, and those who made the
charge must read to little purpose.—

SiiELi.isG the Bible. —One of the
Yankee shells, last Monday, entered one
of the smaller churches of Charleston,
and tore a Bible to pieces. The shell
passed through the lower edge of tho
paging, of the portion the Courier has,
just below the 28th verse of the 13th
Matthew, leaving this verse :
“lie said unto them, an enemy hath
done this. The servants said unto Him,
wilt Thou that we go and gather them
up f”
A Chauub Without Weapons. —The
Meridian Clarion says, when Forrest,
Slurat of this war, was retreating from
Tenn., he was attacked by a large force
of Vankees. His armed force being
small, he ordered his 2000 new recruits,
who had received no arms, to charge
the enemy. They immediately rushed
forward, and the Vankees, astounded at
the force coming towards them, fled in
all directions, leaving Forrest a clear
road to Oxford. At Shiloh a Miss.
Regt. did charge without bayonets, but
Forrest has capped the climax by charg
ing with no weapons at all.
A Convention or Planters.— TUo
Convention of planters in Washington
county, called together by tho District
Commissary to settle the price of their
produce, passed some very patriotic res
olutions, aud also a resolution, that a
Convention of Georgia planters be held
in Macon on such a day in Februaiy
next ns Gov. Brown may appoint, to
regulate the prices of provisions through
out the State. Action is requested from
planters everywhere, and the sending of
delegates to the proposed Convention.
The Jackson Statue.
In Lexington, Va., sleep the remains
of Stonewall Jackson, lle-was the true
Chevalier Bayard of our army, the idol
of his troops, aud the pride of our sunny
clime. What cheek does not kindle with
a warmer glow, a* the thought dwells
upon his glories—what heart doe3 uot
bound with a more exultant thrill, or
more joyous light sparkle in the eye, as
we claim the honored chieftain as our
own? Ou every one of Virginia’s blood
bought fields, from Cheat Mountain to
Chaueellorsvillc, where- the Christian
warrior fell, was his prowess illustrated,
and all alike tell the deathless tale of
immortality. Honor to the illustrious
dead, the pride and boast of Southrons,
the “ right hand " of our second Wash
ington, the noble Lee.
Soon after his death an association was
I formed, President Davis at its head, for
the purpose of collecting funds to place
a statue, in Richmond, on a pedestal
around that of Washington, where stand
mementoes of Virginia’s noble dead. An
artist, now at work, was promised $500,-
000 in our currency, $25,000 in advance,
to erect the bronze figure. To meet it
the contemptible sum of a little over
$16,000 has been raised. Richmond,
the city which, with a daring brilliancy
seldom equalled, he aided in saving from
the vandal's tread, has contributed the
pitiful amount of $12,000. Shame upon
our capital, that from her vast wealth,
only this meagre pittance could she give
to perpetuate the fame of one of Virgin
ia’s most illustrious sons.
Let the ladies, ever more patriotic
than the men, undertake this matter.—
When woman’s heart is interested, she
ever succeeds, and whose memory can
more arouse the purest, emotions of (he
soul than Jackson’s, lie fought, not
for Virginia alone, not. for her alone did
he shed his heart's best blood, fat lor
tbo South he struggled, and for in r in b
pcndence he nobly died. Not. Virgin .:us
alone did he command, but troops from
every Stato were marshaled under ijis
banner, uud, wherever the battle raged
the fieicest, theie our glorious Stonewall
led the any, and, wlicu the clarion note
of victory rung loudest over the plain,
there his war worn -t m buds waved iu
proudest triumph, t'liori let the women
of Ihe South 1)0 up and doing. Give the
hero a fitting mouumeut. Let the bronze
figure, in voiceless eloquence, speak of
our Confederacy’s most honored dead.
Appeal to the countrj’, to friends and
loved oues. Seek aid from the army,
for with it were Jackson’s dying thoughts
—for liis soldiers’comfort were his part
ing words—am! his last utterances were,
“Send forward provisions to the men.’’
