‘X* Cotton Sing V So %.
Perhaps some may think, the language
of the closing paragraph of the last arti
cle, a little too strong; but let ns bear in
mind the interpretation of “Cotton is
King" and the stress laid upon it viz:
“The overuling providence of the world.”
To p/ove Uiis interpretation not extrava
gant, let us sum up evidence of its reception
and indorsement. What was the apology
for the institution of slavery T and what
the main argument for an appeal to sword
and Mood in its defence? Cotton : not as
a home benefit but as a world’s necessity.
This was supposed to be the impregna
ble wall of slavery's perpetuation. This
gave rise to the coronation of cotton by
Mr. Christv of Cincinnati in his famous
argument for the defence of slavery. His
work pH’otton is King.") which past
through at least throe editions, is in
almost every library in Georgia. Tho
enthusiastic reception of the work shows
how emphatically every slaveholder en
dorse! the argument; the writer of these
articles not excepted. How could it
hare Ivon otherwise while the lamp of
progress was glowing more, and more
brilliant every year in Southern history ?
Radical Plans for Killing off the
Democracy.
Ever since the result of the late eler
tion has been known, the ltadieal leaders
Lnve been fruitful in expedients to kill off
the Demoeracy. There seems to be a gen
oral impression among them, that if tho
Democrats have a chanoo they will kill
themselves. What grounds they have
for this impression, it is hard to say
Such an impression could not have come
down from the early history of the Dem
ocraey, for that is filled with the records
of the triunipliant success of the Demo
cracy. The country for more than half a
ceil tuay flourished and prospered under the
guidance of the Democracy and it never
did before and never lias done since. But
with tlus bright history staring them
in the face, they profess to believe the
Democracy will commit some fatal blun
der as soon as they have a chance and to
give them a chance, the New York
Evening Post proposes that the Republi
cans, whilst they have the power, pass
a law calling the new Congress together
immediately after the 4th of March, so
that they may have a chance to commit
some blunder that will kill them with the
people. Let them do that at their peril.
If they do, we predict the democrats will
so conduct themselves a6 to augment
ilieir popularity with the people. The
people have become tired of being taxed
very' heavily to support thieves in office
and the Democrats have only to act hon
estly and let each State manage its own
affairs to gain the confidence of the peo
ple.
of IV | wunant every year m nomnem nisiorj :
^ J Let it not be thought, that these articles
are intended as a medium for indulgence
in « censorious spirit, l*>rn of our nation
al adversity. They are but gleaners of
knowledge from the field of the desolate
past ; searchers after facts upon which, it
is hoped, a light for future reformation
may bo kindled to* tho comfort of every
despondent fanner throughout our cotton
fragrant land.
When an appeal to arms was made in
1861. cotton was to iiglit our battles. A
few years struggle would tell upon the
Manufacturing interests of the North and
Europe; and these, tottering, would send
forth the voice of an earth quake to warn
the world of tho approach of a great cot
ton famine, threatening the wealth of
stock-holders and the lives of thousands
of operatives. It was hopefully thought,
this would sufficiently illustrate to the
world the sad effect the abolition of slave
ry, in tho South, would have. When
disappointment began to throw its down
cast countenance upon every face, an
effort was made to entice cotton hunger
ing England to sell us a fleet on the
promise of cotton. More than three long
years of bloody work and waning fortune
did not quite convince us of error. We
made one more rally under the banner
of “King Cotton."
A proposition from the government
went forth to negotiate a purchase of
all the staple in the South; and cotton
having become the base of further oppe-
rations, the government was to strengthen
itself behind this mighty “Bank" of bales.
Zict Them Emigrate.
^ Some of the politicians among the
negroes, since tlio last election, are mad
and disgusted with Georgia. They
can’t go to the legislature and get nine
dollars a day aud eat ground peas and
' drink whiskey'as they did in flush times*
when Kimball and Bullock ruled Georgia.
They won't work, to beg they are asham
ed, and stealing is overdone; they can’t
all live by stealing, so of course these fel
lows are dissatisfied with Georgia and
they want to go West. They want to
get all of the negroes to emigrate West
and form a State of their own, of which,
each one of the dethroned politicians ex
pect to be Governor or U. S. Senator.
It is only these dissatisfied politicians that
want to emigrate, and we say let them go
The honest and industrious negroes, who
expect to work for a living are generally
satisfied. They know there is no better
country than Georgia and they are will
ing to stay here among their friends, and
they are right. Let the dissatisfied go
and we will see what a glorious govern
ment they will have. But we have already
seen what they done in Liberia and in
San Domingo. But let them try out
West.
The ruined South must look at these
facts from the U. S. Census Statistics and
be wise.
Three fourths of our jieople are engaged
in fanning. Only one-fourth of the peo
ple of New York and Pennsylvania are
fanners:
Georgia farm hands produce an
average of £239,00
Mississippi farm hands produce
an average of 282,00
New York farm hands produce
an average of 677,00
Pennsylvania farm hands pro
duce an average of 707,00

“She Mending CHrL”
In the Great Exhibition of 1862, there
was in the department of statuary a flue
piece of sculpture from the chisel of
Signor Magni, known by the above title.
This beautiful work of art was every
where known in Italy as the daughter of
the great liberator, Garibaldi. Teresa
Garibaldi is said to be “a brave girl, live
ly in manner, and kind and generous."
Generosity seems to be a hereditary vir
tue in her race, and to this the fair Teresa
boasts of a fine education acquired in the
best Italian schools.
The statue of the daughter naturally
leads us to desire some knowledge of her
illustrious father and mother.
Garibaldi was born at Chiavari, near
Genoa, and in childhood had good men
tal and moral training. In early youth
he entered the Piedmontese navy, thus
following the Sea as his father and grand-
tire had done before.
At an early age his love of liberty and
care for the oppressed became manifest
The Terrible Cale ia the Varik.
New Yobk, November 24—The heavy role and
storm here yesterday did no damage further than
causing extraordinary high tides in the North and
East Rivers, thereby flooding the cellars in West and
South streets. The steeple of the Baptist Cborch at
8ing Sing was blown down. Yesterday afternoon, on
the Erie railroad, from Paternen to SuflVrns, there
was much damage done to telegraph poles and small
buildings. At Passaic several small bouses were un
roofed. and great damage was done by the destruc
tion of windows, etc. The storm in that region was
accompanied by thunder, lightning and hail. The
schooner Caleb Eaton, bound to Hajti, is ashore on
Staten Island. A hurricane passed over Tienton
last evening closing damage in that city to the
amount of $',0,000, and to tho country north of Tren
ton 110.0 0 or floO Oili* more so far a« ' known Mor
ton’s row cf til houses, on Warren street, were un
roofed Klein’s Hall, Washington market, Colden’s
Hint mill, Fish & Greeu's saw mill were also damaged
Boats on the river wire upset and b .arhouses and
sheds entirely demolished. A brakemac was blown
from a train on the llelvidere and Delaware railroad
and killed. The meadows bnci of Elliaheth were
Hooded six to ten feet deep by the extraordinary high
tide, and thousands of tons in stocks floated away or
was destroyed
Dispatches from various places East and in New
Jersey, report destruction of property by tho gale
yesteiday. At Buffalo the gale was vorv severe, but
with the exception of a loss from liign water and
blowig away the sails from some vessels, there was
never so little damage reported from so severe a gale.

Alas! for the thought! Alas! that pre
judicial belief is so tenacious.
So far, our evidence seems culled from
the proceedings of our leaders. Let us
now overhaul the response of the people.
Secession was the first step that evinced
a decided purpose to risk everything up
on the strength of cotton, although, in
eveiy other way, quite unprepared to
commence the struggle for independence.
We fought, suffered, and well nigh starv
ed, looking with high hopes to the hour
when “King Cotton" would emancipate
us from every distress. Our fellow citi
zens readily sold t . eir cotton to the gov
ernment, and thereby affixed their seal to
that gland movement to force the world
to recognize our independence. But
when our government was “no more” tho
people, elated by the exhorbitant price of
the Southern staple- soon began to for
get the violence, that had so recently
shocked our shores; and in a very little
time some one’s pen flung aloft the regal
note, “Cotton is King.” Millions of
money were immediately invested in its
culture, regardless of supplies for the
campaign, and year after year attempts
were made to force the cotton marts to
give all his majesty would demand. The
richest nourishment in the most extrava
gant quantities was imported, and man
ufactured to satisfy the epicurean appe
tite of this despotic sovereign, who had
kindled the wildest enthusiasm in the
hearts of his subjects. Allegiance did not
stop here; money was borrowed at
overwhelming per cent, on his credit,
and a marriage having been contracted
with the productions of the Northwest
the utmost subjection to his omnipotent
rule was the result. The complete monop
olv of eveiy nook and comer of land for

MORE TORNADO
Baltimore, November 24.—The gale
that broke over this city yesterday after
noon was the severest tornado known for
years. Its full force was felt in the north
western section of the city, the elevation
of which exposed it to all the power and
fury of the winds. On Gilmore, Strieker,
Carey and other streets in that vicinity—
on Harlem lane and Pennsylvania avenue
houses were unroofed, chimneys blown
down, and trees stripped of their branch
About one hundred buildings were
damaged to a greater or less extent, and
the amount of the loss may be calculated
at from fifty to seventy thousand dollars.
Twelve persons suffered from various
injuries and some were seriously hurt,
but there is no apprehension of fatal con
sequences to but one person. The scene
where heavy timbers were being wbisked
away like straws by the devastating blast;
the houses falling in ruins, and the dense
clouds causing the obscurity of twilight
over the streets, was painfully grand.
Baltimore, November 24.—Morris Ho
gan, who was blown from the scaffold of
a building on the coiner of Biddle and
Kt. Paul streets by the terrible tornado
yesterday, died this morning from the
f ffocts of his wounds. He was a young,
unmarried man, a stonemason by trade,
and was working at his trade at the time
of the accident. This is the only fatal
result so far as known. The cross which
completes the spire of St Peter’s Church
was blown from a perpendicular to a hori
zontal position, and a pinnacle was blown
from the comer of the Presbyterian
Church on Dolphin street A carpenter
named James Ressinger, who has a shop
on Townsend street, had his arm broken
by heavy timbers falling upon it when
the shop which he was working in waa
blown ovsr. Two of bis fellow workmsn,

Bom in Hanover, and educated in a mili
tary school established on the shores of
Steinhuder Lake, by Count William of
Lippe, he applied himself closely to the
r tudy of military science. In 1797, the
Court of Berlin pressed Schamhorst,
“now as distinguished for practical skill
in the field as for his educational powers,”
to transfer his services to the Prussian
staff, and he became the founder of the
military system of that country.

A tsdleal Aevival Scheme,
It will be seen from the following spe
cial dispatch from the capital to the Bal
timore Sun that the Radical party, is busy
concocting schemes to restore its waning
fortunes. The internal improvement card
is a strong one, and, if the Administration
be induced to join in the game, can be
played with great effect. The Sun’s dis
patch is dated Washington, November
22d, and says:
A canons scheme to revive the for
tones of tbe Radical party is now being
developed through the utterances of some
of the party organs mid through the con
versations of Radical Congressmen and
others here. The proposition is to inau
gurate at once a system of internal im
provements under the direction of the
General Government and thus give em
ployment to all the idle labor of ihe coun
try, To obtain the funds the Govern
ment can issue its notes, and thns inflate
the currency. With plenty of employ
ment and plenty of money times will be
again prosperous, and the calculation is
that this will suffice to bring back the
wanderers from the fold. It is claimed
by the advocates of this scheme that some
of the Republican members who at the
last session opposed inflation, will now
for the purpose of accomplishing the ends
aimed at favor it. The President is id-
ready committed to the project of inter
nal improvements, and u he can be in
duced to waive his objection to inflation,
the plan, in the eves of its originators,
promises welL They are hopeful that to
“save the party" he may be won over.
His recent expressions on the subject
of the currency do not give much color
to such hopes.—Altogether, however,
the project is one which will bear some
watching, for in the desperate straits in
which the Republican party is now placed
its leaden will swallow many scruples

HAVE YOU TRIED

ARE YOU
Weak, ferrous, or Debilitated ?
Are you so Languid that any exertion requires more
of aa effort thanyou feel capable of making ?
Then try J (TRUBEBA, the womierlal TONIC and
Invigorator, which acts so beneficially on the secre
tive organs as to impart vigor to all the vital foroes.
It is no alcoholic appetizer, which stimulates for a
short time, only to let the sufferer fall to a lower depth
of misery, but it is a vegetable tonic acting directly
on the Uver and spleen.
It regulates the Bowels, quiets the nerves, and gi^es
•nch a healthy tone to the whole system as to soon
make the invalid feel like a new person.
Its operation is not violent, but is characterized by
great gentleness; tae patient experiences no sudden
change, no marked result*, bat giadually his troubles
‘‘Fold their tents, like Arabs,
And silently steal away.”
This is no new and untried discovery, but lias been
long used with wonderful remedial remits, and is pro
nounced by tbe highest medical authorities, “the most
powerful tonic and alterative known.''
Ask yoar druggist for it.
