THE AFRICAN IN THE U. S.
We have perused with pleasure and in
struction an article on the present comli
tion of the African in the United States,
and his future destiny which appears in
Dr. Bledsoe’s Southern Review. It is a
calm, wise and dispassionate view of the
whole subject in its present and future
bearings, and embodies the soundest ad
vice we have seen anywhere" presented to
both races constituting our population.
The statistical statements, derived from
governmental sources, in this article are
very remarkable. We wish we had room
for all of them. We can present the fol
lowing, only. The increase of the white
population in the decade from 1860 to
history, and the like character of these
journals since their consolidation. In
this “ fast” age, progress is not always
improvement; and in journalism, as in
“railroading,” it may often be wiser to

SOUTHERN EDUCATION.
; We are constrained to believe that the
interests of education have received a
great check in the Southern States by the
results of the war. A few of the higher
institutions of learning are flourishing
perhaps even more so than they were pri
or to the war. The Public Schools of the
per cent. And yet the casualties of War
in the first half of this decade fell wholly
on the whites. Without doubt the mor
tality of the African race in the latter half
of the decade from 1860 to 1870, and
the vast diminution of births (effects of
emancipation yet continuing) thus dimin
ishing the increase of the African was
directly traceable to his changed condi
tion from slavery to freedom. In the
previous decade (from 1850 to 1860) the
increase of the whites was 37.69 per cent,
that of the Africans 22.07 per cent. It
will thus be seen how damaging to in
crease freedom has proven to the Afri
can ; and it is predicted on these indis
putable facts that very soon the tide will
be turned and diminution will be the fate
of the colored man, and final extinction,
unless, we may add, the wise policy in
regard to settling the African among us,
| as suggested by Col. McKinlej* in his
address last summer, shall be adopted
throughout the South.

SOUTHERN HISTORICAL SOCIE
TY, AGAIN.
We have been in correspondence re
cently with H. Ewbank, Esq., who
making a tom - of the South in the inter
est of the Southern Historical Societv.—
inhabitants of th# moon were exposed to
alternations of heat and cold in which no
creatures of the earth could live.
In the picture representing the mul
titudinous craters of the moon we find
a problem of immense difficulty. There
was every sign that these craters had
been produced by some surface pheno
menon, such as bubbling or action from
without. The theory tliat the moon’s
atmosphere and oceans had all become
frozen—one, by the way which he for
merly supported—was exploded. The
moon was not white, it was more nearly
black, and he rememl>ered Prof. Tyn
dall telling him that if she was as black
as velvet she would still appeal 1 white.
Some parts of the moon were much brigh
ter than others, and it was said that some
parts of what was known of it by the
name Copernicus were as white as some
of the white substances known to us. The
general light of the moon was about
equal to that of weathered sandstone.
The theory that the surface had con
tracted and that the oceans had been
brought into the interior of the planet
left the absence of atmosphere unaccount
ed for. He must confess that, startling as
the theory is, he had been impressed with
the idea that the best explanation of the
multitudinous craters of the surface of the
moon was that they were produced by a
downfall of large meteoric masses in some
former stage of our solar system—some
stage when the process of growth which
was now going on slowly, was going on
rapidly.
In his concluding remarks the lecturer
said that astronomy was the only science
which seemed to point to a beginning and
to an end—if not the end of material
space, still of the system of which this
earth forms a part.

of the Echises plant, which lias attracted
considerable attention at the Vienna Ex
position, where specimens were exhibited.
It is described as growing abundantly in
some sections of the Philippine Islands,

natives, under the name of Dita, as a
remedy against all kinds ot fevers. It is

Prof. Xina, a Spaniard, and chief physi

perfect substitute for quinine, but also
that in its use the frequently unpleasant
after-effects of quinine are avoided. It is
i administered in the same manner and
: doses as quinine, and it is perfectly cer-

efficient as a tonic. Ditain may be pre-

At tliis meeting it was that Jefferson Da- i entertains old age. adonis prosperity,
vis made some remarks which were so 1 sc ^ ac ® s adversity, is delightful at home,
cruelly seized upon by the Northern press
and perverted into a purpose of renewing
hostilities with the North, and we know
not what else of virulent “treason.”
The leading object of the organization
of the Southern Historical Society is the
unobtrusive abroad, deserts us not by
day nor night, in journeving nor in retire

Much of this deplorable retrograde is collection and preservation of all reliable
the result of necessity, doubtless. Our peo
ple are impoverished. Food and raiment
are the first demands; and to secure these
requires all of the labor ami time of many
te&6 of thousands of good people. To very,
very many, the means of education are ab
solutely wanting. Our public school sys
tem is slow-motioned and feeble as yet,
data for a great future history of tho
‘War between the States.' A very large
portion of our official records of the Con
federate States perished by the conquest
of the South; and what remains is se
curely locked up in the possession of the
U. S. Government. Let us give Mr. Ew
bank a cordial reception when he visits
THE BRITISH
resulting from causes beyond control, and our city and zealously co operate with
lor which none of our people can be deem
ed censurable.
Let us struggle and pray for a better
educational future. In one intellectual
feature of Southern character we do find
ground for censure, and we beseech its
reform. The portion of our people who
do read—who purchase books and sub
scribe to periodicals—do not encourage
Southern authorship and Southern effort.
They “go further and fare worse.”—
They subscribe for and read Northern
periodicals and novels, often of the most
questionable feature, while they pass over
books of Southern authorship and period
icals of Southern purity and superiority
without bestowing on them a single thought
©f patronage.
We have before us an apt case in point.
Three years ago, a patriotic Southern
-Woman of Mobile, Ala., got up sketches
of more than an hundred of tho Female
"Writers of the South ; and these, accom
panied by characteristic and illustrative
extracts from their writings, she brought
out in one of the handsomest volumes which
ever appeared from the American press.
The elegant publishers, Messrs. Claxton,
Remsen & Hafflefinger, of Philadelphia,
“manufactured” it. A more attractive
volume in its exterior is not found on
any centre-table; and the interior em
bodies the female literary life of the South.
In it are to be found gems both in verse
and prose unsurpassed by anything ev
er produced in Yankee-land, or even in
that noble Old England which gave us our
mother-tongue. Of these authors, with
pride be it spoken, there is not one who
befouls the book’s fair pages with an im
pure word, in these sad days when impure
literature is the fashion. Nobly have the
daughters of the South kept themselves
unsullied. In this volume Georgia is
worthily represented by thirty female
authors. Our own Milledgeville is not
unrepresented: “Mary Faith Floyd (the
literary name of Mrs. W. G. McAdoo) and
Ui6s Kate Clifford Kenan are residents
Of our city; and there are others who
were former residents buLnow residing
elsewhere.
And how has this book been received ?
How in Milledgeville ? How in Georgia ?
How irP the whole South-Land ? We
have before us a letter from the publishers
stating that the sales have not sustained
the patriotic lady of Mobile who invested
in it her time, her talents and her money.
Shall this continue ? Shall we persist in
buying Northern or foreign books, swell
ing the insolence and fame of those who
despise and oppress us, and allow our
most worthy devotees to literary effort to
languish in failure ? We trust that the
book-buying portion of our community
will yet show a better spirit, and lend
proper encouragement to our worthy
home writers.
him. He will be among us soon.
Mr. Ewbank, we believe, is also repre
senting the Southern Magazine of Balti
more, which has been adopted as the or
gan of the Southern Historical Society.
We trust, also, that Mr. Ewbank may lie
induced to espouse the cause of Female
Literature in the South. Surely the pa
triotic women of the South deserve such
effort. We have suggested the idea to
liim, in connexion with the circulation of
the elegant volume entitled “ Living Fe
male Writers of the South.”

One of the most interesting of the
series of lectures now being delivered
by Prof. Proctor in New York, was that
on the moon. He said that in his lecture
on the “Sun ” he mentioned that there
were men in past times who worshiped
the sun. So, also,. in past times there
were men who worshiped the moon. It
was noticed that she passed rapidly over
the heavens, and this continual motion
suggested to the nations of old the idea
that she had power, and that she was,
so to speak, a kind of goddess. There
fore men worshiped her on the principle
of the Chaldeans, who watched the radi
ant planets.
Her mass was only one-eightieth part
of the mass of the earth. Galileo,
studying the moon with a telescope three
inches in diameter, recognized the fact
that she was covered with mountains.
He noticed tliat there were many moun
tains of a circular kind, and compared
them to the eyes on a peacock's tail. He
also noticed that there was no sign of
any water there.
There appeared to be an excess of
heat at one time and excess of cold at
another, and, so far as we conld judge,
an absence of any atmosphere whatever.
The moon, as she traversed the heav
ens, obliterated a star instantaneously
from view, whereas we know perfectly
well tliat if our own eart h could be watch
ed from the moon a considerable time
must elapse before a disappearance like
that could take place. As the moon had
no air, we could show by the same pro
cess that it had no water. It was almost
impossible for us, with our ideas of
terrestrial scenery, to picture any lunar
scene, and he therefore confined* himself
to a description of ring-shaped mountains
which we know to exist. If there were
inhabitants of the moon, they would
never be able to ascertain all the features
that surrounded the sun. All the more
palpable features would be lost to sight
in the glow of sunlight surrounding the
dark body of the earth.
Although we might institute a compar
iaon between the features on the moon’s
surface and those on the surface of the
earth, there was no doubt that many im*
portant differences existed. It might be
that at one portion of our history the
earth's surface was covered with more
craters than now. Many of the original
features of the earth’s crust have disap
peared from view, but nevertheless he
thought it would not be maintained by
geologists that the earth's surface resem
bled that of the moon.
In observing the moon we had almost
reached the luHits that telescopic appli
ances admit of. Our great hope was to
have a telescope placed on a high part of
the earth where the atmosphere was rari-
fled- So far as observations went we had
as yet no evidence of a process of change
taking place in uie moon. Regarding
her as an inhabited body, she was unlike
the earth. In the first place she had no
seasons, the change being like that from
from the 24th of September to the 8d of
Oetober. For nearly fifteen days of our
time there was day-light in the moon, and
then for nearly fifteen days there was
night During that.time the sun was

THE GliEAT REMEDY FOR
CONSUMPTION
which can be cured by a
timely resort to this stand
ard preparation, as has been
proved by the hundreds of
testimonials received by the
proprietors. It is acknowl
edged by many prQminent
physicians to be the most
reliable preparation ever in
troduced for the relief and
cure of all Long complaints,
and is offered to the public,
sanctioned by the experience
of over forty years. When
resorted to in season it sel
dom fails to effect a speedy
cure in the most severe
cases of Coughs, Bronchitis,
Croup, Whooping Cough,
Influenza, Asthma, Colds,
Sore Throat, Pains or Sore
ness in the Chest and Side,
Liver Complaint, Bleeding
at the Lungs, &e. Wistar’s
Balsam does not dry up a
Congh, and leave the cause
behind, as is the case with
most preparations, but it
loosens and cleanses the
lungs, and allays irritation,
thus removing the cause of
the complaint.
