(JOLLMBI'S, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 22. 1858. Money. Money is the most expensive of all the conveni ences of life; or rather of all the necessities of commerce. It has no value of its own, and adds nothinglo the value of anything else. Gold and silver have, like other metals, an intrinsic value, not only because of their utility, but be ccause of their beauty ; but as money, they are utterly worthless. We are so much in the habit of associating the idea of value with money, that it is difficult to take in this idea; but we will en deavor to make ourself understood. Money might be made of iron, but it could not in that shape be made more valuable than the raw iron. Take a piece of iron and make it into some instrument of use or article of ornament, and its value may bo increased by the value of the labor put upon it; but no matter what the labor and expense of putting it into the shape of money its value is not increased. So with gold and sil ver; make them into spoons or rings, or breast pins, or watches,’ and you have increased their value by the amount of labor put upon them, but make them into money at no matter what ex pense or labor, and they will purchase no more of either metal than is put into it. Let the spoon, the ring, the breastpin, the watch become un fashionable, or valueless for the purposes for which they were made, and the gold and silver in them sink back to their money value, which is the actual amout of metal they contain.— Comer Stone, As our venerable friend has expressed his in tention to deduce some important conclusions from the above positions, it is very important that the positions themselves, be correct. We differ with him upon some of the ideas which he has advanced. Money (by which we mean a circulating medi um) as we apprehend it, is like cotton, corn or anything else. It is valuable in proportion to its utility and the labor required in its production- It must serve some purpose in order to be valua ble at all, and the question of utility being decided affirmatively, the amount of labor necessary to its production represents its quantum of value. A little reflection will satisfy us that both of these considera tions must enter into every estimate of value. If for example, cotton were not an article of con sumption and use, it would matter very little what amount of labor was necessary to produce it. No none wanting it, no one would exchange anything for it, and, consequently, it would be worthless. On the other hand, if it were useful, but its produc tion involved no labor, it would be equally with out value; no person, having a commodity which was the product of labor, would exchange the same for it. We repeat that utility and labor are the measure of value. Is it worth while for us to attempt to show that money is useful—that it is a labor saving machine ? AVe presume not. Any one, in order to be satisfied upon this point, has but to reflect upon the intolerable inconveni ence to which he would be subjected if, instead of exchanging his product for an object of uni versal desire, like money, he were compelled to make an exchange in kind, or commodity for commodity. Such a state of things is suited only to the rudest and most barbarous ages of society. Wherever, as in all civilized communities, divis ion of labor exists to any degree, some circulating medium is a necessity. It matters not what this may be, whether cattle, in the time of Homer ; iron, in the reign of Lyeurgus; brass, in the early ago of Homan history or gold and silver, as is now established throughout Christendom, something to perform the functions of money has been adopted by all nations making any pretension to civiliza tion. Wo say, secondly, that the amount of labor bestowed upon money is the measure of its value. By this wo mean the labor employed in extracting it from the ore ; in transporting it to the mint and in the process of coining. AVhen we say that a barrel of flour is worth in this city live dollars, it is meant that the labor required to dig the metal from the mine, to coin and transport the above amount to Columbus, and the labor necessary to produce, manufacture and deliver hero the barrel of flour, are equal. Assume that it were otherwise. Suppose that a barrel of flour represented a day’s wages of the laborer in New York, and suppose that the Peru vian gold digger, with the proceeds of an equal amount of labor could purchase in New York five barrels of flour, what persuasion would be requir ed to induce the wheat-growers of the latter place to emigrate to the former? None other than the assurance of a reasonable chance of living. They would flock there in such vast numbers that a famine would beau imminent consequence. For the first year or two after the California fever broke out, breadstuff's and provisons were enormously high in that country; flour was worth S6O per barrel. Yet even at this romantic figure, the case is an illustration of the doctrine we have assert ed. The labor of getting S6O, in gold dust was not greater than the labor of producing and trans porting to our Pacific coast one barrel of flour. — AYe have spun this article to as great length as our space will allow. AVo may recur again to it. More Copies. On Friday last the Senate passed a resolution ordering 1,000 additional copies of the Comptrol ler General’s report printed for the use of that body. This makes 1550 copies already ordered. The usual number is 350. Mr. Thweatt has re ceived the endorsement of every man, woman and child, in the State, for his energy and effi ciency as a public officer. Appointment by the President.— Richard Fitzpatrick, of Texas, has been appointed Consul at Matamoras, Mexico. The Jackson Eagle of the South says a veritable Egyptian silver coin, worth about thirty cents of our currency, was, in digging a well near Tallahoma, found embedded in the earth, about thirty feet under ground. The Spanish Fleet for Nicaragua. —The New York Herald asserts that the Spanish fleet expected at Havana daily will unite with the English in maintaining the independence of Nica ragua, and depend on our word that no fillibuster ingwill be permitted. The Atlantic Telegraph Non-Committal. A southern paper thinks the neutrality of the At antic cable, which was so loudly sighed for by President Buchanan, has been fully established. It hasn’t a word to say on either side. New yok Crashed. ew York, Nov. 19.—The Floor of the unfin ed State Arsenal, on Thirty fourth Street, gave way early this morning, and the building is now dollar* ° rUinß ’ lle loss is a bout fifty thousand Cincinnati paper has come to the con clusion that “ifa score of the cowardly wretch es, who go about town beating unfortunate wo men, were respectably killed, it would be well for the community in general, igdretributive justice in particular.” “RespectiiflPßfcled” is a good phrase. The History of Commerce—Professor Lelber’s Lec ture. Prof. Lieber gave a lecture in the rooms of the Historical Society, introductory to a series on the History of Commerce,and forming a portion ofthe Post-Graduate Course of Columbia College. He defined commerce as the fourth branch of indus try, which connects the others—the appropriative or collective, the agricultural and the manufac turing branches. By a number of familiar illus trations he exhibited the cosmopolitan nature of commerce in its application to the simplest as well as the most important affairs of life. lie discussed its effect upon the character of men and institu tions, and declared that while thirty years ago it was generally asserted that commerce ruins all public spirit, the strongest distinction between an cient and modern times, is the fact that in mod ern times a nation can grow rich and free at the same time. England is infinitely freer than she was two hundred yearr ago ; and our liberty—the peo ple’s liberty, contradistinguished from federal lib erty —came from the cities of the Middle Ages; it is the creation of merchants and traders. It was the guilds of the northern German cities that fought against the Danish kings and formed the Hanseatic League. Very frequently men belong ing to these guilds were runaway slaves—serfs. The German princes wanted fugitive slave laws, but the cities refused, and established their free dom. Now, these cities were the real storehouses of wealth in the Middle Ages, the noblemen were landowners, without much capital. Modern liberty demands a high degree of civi lization and history provides that the besj, school districts have been also the most productive.— Without commerce we cannot have wealth, with out wealth we cannot have modern civilization, we cannot have liberty.— New York Evening Post. Froiu the Albany Eve. Journal. Three New Territories. Besides the Territories which Congress has or ganized, we have now three others, which, grown impatient of waiting, are taking steps to organize themselves. Arizona, which has a population as yet only counted by hundreds, has elected a Territorial Delegate and sent him to Washington. A bill was proposed last winter creating a Government for this Territory, but it failed to pass. It will doubt less be revived this winter, and will probably be adopted in some shape. Dacotah is also taking a definite form. Her people have completed an independent temporary organization of the Territory, to continue until Congress shall give them the usual form of Terri torial Government. State officers were appointed, Legislature convened, laws passed, <fcc., and the Minnesota Code of 1859 adopted. They assign as their reason for this action, that they were left en tirely without laws, except those of the Lynch or der, and that the disorganized state of society keeps away emigration. They poiut, in justifica tion, to the precedent set them by California and Oregon. Revolutionary as such a procedure would be considered in any other country but the United States, it is here an evidence of the law loving and law-abiding character of the people, and a guarantee that they are disposed to main tain order and respect the obligations of citizen ship. Superior, or Ontonagon, is also moving. The people there have made formal application to the Legislature of Michigan and Wisconsin, to which States that region belongs, for permission to form an independent Territory, with a view to ultimate admission as a State. This must eventually be a great mining and agricultural region, and its pe ninsular position between Lake Michigan and Su perior, seems to adapt it for commerce, as well as to require a separate political organization. It has already a population of several thousand. Harmony in South Carolina. The readers of the Mercury, bearing iu mind its eourse, must have observed that, whilst freely ex pressing our own views of measures and princi ples, and advocating the course in our opinion rightful and important to the south, wo have at the same time abstained from censure. AVhile opening our columns to a wide range of temperate discussion, that the truth might be elicited, we have sought to draw together, or at least not sep arate in the State those who, agreeing on general and important principles, yet differ iu matters less essential, whether by-gone or in the womb of the future. AVe have allowed a free expression of views on the Conference Kansas Act, on the re opening of the African Slave Trade, and on the powerful speech of Senator Hammond with the condition of the South and her prospects for the future. But we have eschewed all division on such issues. This course has been pursued, because the tide of events is surely driving us together, and we are satisfied that differences in South Carolina in regard to the General Government, and the North will be obliterated by time. They are con jectural rather than real—matters of speculation rather than fact. There are events before us that will unite all the true men of the South ; and we desire that South Carolina, by her union and the moral weight she has ever possessed in the coun sels of the South, resulting from her unanimity of opinion and conduct, shall bear her part in the drama of the future, whatever it be. Some of our leading men have confidence in the Democratic party of the North—others have none. Some suppose that Black Republican sectionalism is de clining in power —others that it is increasing.— Some are confident of the strength of our pres ent position in the Union—others are confident of its weakness. The crisis that will settle these con jectures or deductions is near at hand. What rea son is there, then, for pressing these differences of opinion between those who agree in principle and who go together in policy ? Why should it be sought to raise issues and contentions on such matters ? On the great essential measures before the country we are agreed. Our public men will all oppose in Washington the increase of the Tariff'for protection, appropriations for Internal Improvements, and anti-slavery in every shape and form. They will have there to fight the Black Republican majority in the next Congress in all their insidious and oppressive measures. They will have to seek the union of the South on State Right grounds. And they will stand to gether, we doubt not, united in tho fight. If the Black Republicans are defeated in Con gress, and defeated in their effort, at the next Presidential election, to grasp the power of the General Government for the accomplishment of theirjpurposes, South Carolina will fully partici pate and unitedly rejoice in their defeat. On the contrary, should they be successful, we have a right to suppose that those who are united in principle will be united in measures of redemption and security. The State has distinctly marked out her policy, and it is wise to presume that we will be united. Is it wise to establish personal antagonisms on future speculative division ? We hold the opinion that it is not. Wo deem it al most certain that within less than two years all true men in South Carolina or at Washington will stand entirely together. At all events, this is our hope. So strong is our conviction of the steady progress and fatal purposes of this powerful Black Republican faction, that this is our belief. Act ing under such impressions, we shall continue a steady advocacy of harmony and a generous con fidence, which is the surest means of securing it amongst those agreeing in principle. AVhen “he shock comes South Carolina can be prepared, without heart-burnings and division, to do her part with all the strength of her ancient renown. By wise counsels we are satisfied such will be the result.— Charleston Mercury. Arrest op Sir Henry Bulwer at Con stantinople.—The Times contains the following extract from a commercial letter : Sir 11. L. Bulwer was passing the streets at Pe ™ ,? n rse^ ack - Preceded by his groom on the -Oth of October, being a holiday (the nativity of Mohamed) some of the Sultan's levy driving in their carriages, the horse of the groom touched one of their horses, and the rider struck him with his whip, the groom used his whip also. Sir 11. Bulwer endeavored to separate them, when the remainder of the eunuchs rushed on the Ambassa dor and struck him several brows, the Ambassa dor was arrested and taken to the police station at Pera. r Our Labor. A greater misconception does not exist abroad, in regard to the South, than that which ranks its system of labor as opposed to the success of its manufactures. Copying an article from this pa per on the subject of the development of manu facturing industry in Mississippi, Louisiana, Ala bama and Georgia, the Newburyport (Mass) Her ald says: “Tue Picayune makes no allusion to that which will prove an insurmountable obstruc tion in their way—that is, negro slavery.” Negro slavery, the world now acknowledges, has made cotton production in the South success ful, which, under equal advantages of soil and climate, has proved a failure everywhere else. Slave labor is equally certain to enable the South to manufacture so as to undersell the rest of the world. The factory in Mississippi, which we mentioned as producing a dividend of twenty-six per cent, on the capital invested, is now worked almost entirely by slave labor. The most successful manufactory in Alabama, one which, from a capital so small as to promise no favorable result, has grown to be among the first in the extent of its productions in the South—for years invested the profits of the establishment in negroes to spin and weave and is now almostexclusively worked by slave a labor.The rope and cotton factory in this city, whose career has been one of singular prosperity, has for the present suspended operations, to the enable sub stitution of negro for white labor. So far,J|the experiments with negro labor in our manufacturing establishments have proved sig nally successful. In fact, we begin to think that our system will enable the South to compete with the pauper labor of Europe in the production of cheap fabrics. There would be, without an argument, we would suppose, an important advantage in rearing up a class who, from generation to generation, were attached to our factories, whose labor was under the control of one mastermind. The fluctuations of prices and the disasters of strikes would*be en tirely avoided; and the fires of the factory, once lighted would never be extinguished by any of those casualties to which the enterprises of a sim ilar character in the neighborhoood of the Herald are subject. But an abundance of white labor ean be found in the South, at least in the neighborhood of the larger cities. It would seem that the people of the North supposed labor for the white man was disreputable in this latitude. So far from this being a fact, it is a badge of honor, and more ac tive, more industrious, more laborious white men, do not exist in any section ofthe Union than at the South. For the success of manufacturing establish ments, we have really an advantage over the people of New England —white labor abundant and cheap—and slave labor that may be cultiva ted and that improves for generations in apititude for the employment; and we venture the predic tion, that when the surplus capital of the South becomes deeply interested in this species of in dustry, the New England States will find its great advantage—leaving out of the question the neigh borhood of the cotton fields—in the possession of of slave labor.— N. O. Picayune. Touching Scene.-— Last week, Miss Mary Ann Gunn, aged 16 or 17, a pupil at the Institute for the Blind, in this city, somewhat suddenly de ceased. She had recently embraced religion, and during the lucid intervals of her illness, expressed herself willing to die—indeed anxious to “depart and be with Christ.” She gave directions in re gard to her funeral obsequies—desired the Rev. Dr. Boring to preach her funeral, and that “The night of the Grave,” and “Mount Vernon” should be 6uug by her associates on the occasion. The funeral scene was one of touching, thrilling inter est. Around the cold remains of the departed, were grouped her sorrowing, sightless companions, singing the favorite requiems of one they had nev er seen, but had learned to love, and whose voice was missing from its wonted place; and whose eyes, though never permitted to look out upon the brightness of earth, were now unveiled and per mitted to gaze with rapture and delight upomtho undimmed and unfading glories of the Spirit wrold, “with the saints in light,” now mingling her voice with theirs in the song of Redemption. How aw fully mysterious must such an event be to one born blind, and who has never looked upon the cold, inanimate form, the winding sheet, the coffin, the tomb !— Macon ( Geo.,) Journal & Messen ger. Egypt. —An Alexandria letter says: The over flow of the Nile has not been so groat this year as there was reason to expect. The waters receded rapidly, and a very large extent of land was not properly watered. The accounts from the interior on th subject of the cotton crop are most unfavo rable. Caterpillars and other insects have ap peared in great numbers. In the provinces of Zayazey, Mansourah, Ac., much damage has been caused by the heavy dews, and it is expected that the yield will be about 100,000 less than last year. The public health continues excellent, and the country enjoys the most perfect tranquility. Typographical Errors. —One of our ex changes says, “the wife crop of Gasconade co., Mo., this year is estimated at twenty five thou sand galls.” The wine crop is referred to, but twenty-five thousand galls will make a good crop of wives notwithstanding. new poem is a god-send to the Boston antiquarians. The papers teem with historical sketches of Puritan customs. The last point in dispute is treated in a communication in tbe Boston Advertiser. The query is, “Did Pris cilla Mullins use a small spinning-wheel or a large one.” Freaks of Commerce. —We have heretofore spo ken, says the St. Louis Democrat, of the large quantities of cotton received here and passing up this way from Memphis by river boats, on its way to the eastern markets. Quantities of it have gone eastward by the Ohio A Mississippi Railroad, and by the Terre-Haute A Alton; but the following item from a Chicago paper shows anew route for this article; “Cotton is King." —The first installment of ten thousand bales of cotton from St, Louis to Boston via Illinois and Michigan canal to this port, and the lakes by Collingwood propellers, reached this oity yesterday, and was being transferred at Spen cer A Co.’s dock. This is the first shipment of the kind, and of the same extent that ever from the cotton growing region sought a market by the way of Chicago and the Lakes. The New Treaty icith Japan. —The New York Evening Post says: The reports which reach us from Japan by the Vanderbilt, are of unusual interest, and we devote considerable space to the record of the diplomatic achievements which have resulted in a treaty be tween the United States and Japan, and subse quently between Great Britain and Japan. A\ r e have but the outlines of the treaty negotiated by Consul-General Harris, but they appear to em body some important concessions, both of com mercial and religious priviliges to our countrymen; such, for example, as the remission of the tax of six per cent, for re-coinage upon the American pur chaser of Japanese goods, and the toleration of the Christian faith, the followers of which are al lowed to build churches and hold public worship in ports open to Americans. A diplomatic min ister, it is also promised, will be sent from Japan to the United States. That the treaty is deemed a desirable one, is evident from the report that the English have procured one with similar provis ions. honest son of Erin, green from his pe regrinations, put his head into a lawyer’s office, and asked the inmate : “An’ what do you sell here?” “Blockheads,” replied the limb of the law. “Och, thin to be sure,” said Pat, “it must be a good trade for I see there is but one of them left.” Land Grant to Florida.
