“*tOLIMBIS, TUESDAY, JANUARY 4, ISS.
Material Condition of the south—iotton.
The history of this country, and, perhaps, the
history of the world, furnishes nc parallel to the
material prosperity now enjoyed by the Southern
people. We speak not in this comparison, of aris
otracius, privileged orders Ac., but ol the mil
lion—the masses. The evidences of this gratify
ing truth are apparent everywhere. There is no
branch of industry, no department of business
which lias not, for the last twelve months, yielded
remunerating dividends to those who have been
employed therein. Every honest occupation,
founded upon the wants of society has thriven
abundantly.
Ksp‘ daily in this assertion applicable to the
cotton growing section of the South. A crop of
the staple unequalled in quality and quantity has
been produced and nearly saved. A price which,
beret >fore, has been given only under the appre
hension of greatly diminished production, is now
offered by the manufacturer. A grain crop, such
as, perhaps, the world has never seen, hasjerown
d the labor of the-Southern husbandman. This
condition of things will be short-lived or permanent
as the judgment of the agriculturist may deter
mine. There is no error, into which men fall,
more common than the assumption that a certain
state of affairs will be perpetuated, without refer
ence to tbo cause- which produce it. Persons, for
example, can be found who believe that the price
of cotton will never again fall below ten cents,
and that young negro follows will never again
sell for less than one thousand dollars. If
should always be remembered, however, that
. the price of negroes is determined absolutely by
the value of their labor, and -.hat this latter fact
is dependent, exclusively, upon the supply of and
demand for the product of that labor. It is true
that the present and prospective commercial as
pect of the world gives foundation to the belief,
that the demand for the product of negro labor in
* the South, is now placed upon a scale of perma
nent and rapid progression. The opening of China
aud Japan to the commerce of the world, will grad
ually, but certainly and necessarily stimulate the
consumption and manufacture of cotton goods.’
Their unnumbered millions must be clad, and,
for this purpose, they have heretofore paid a high
er price for n less suitable material, than cotton
cloth, lint it were a dangerous heresy to assume
that the production of the staple cannot be stim
ulated in a corresponding ratio. The present
high price of cotton will necessarily divert a largo
amount, of labor and capital from other channels
of industry into that branch of production. *The
rapidity of thy conversion will be proportionate to
the excess of prolixin this kind of labor over ail
others.
The logic, of events confirms the deductions of
common sense, that capital will not long remain
unproductive or content with an inferior rate of
profit when avenues of greater productiveness are
open to it. The great apprehension, therefore, is
that every body will turn their attention to raising
cotton, and that planters will be so absorbed with
the staple, that but little time and room will be
devoted to raising their own supplies. Experience
should diare taught them that when ibis is done,
cotton falls, provisions rise and the planter and, of
course, tbe whole country suffers. Let them look
well to if then, aud have a care that their present
uiniuent prosperity be not the fore-runner of a p< _
riod of disaster equally great and protracted, hot
them raise their own corn, wheat and meat, and
then, what cotton they can; but be certain of the
former.

|\ew Year's Day.
We are embraced in the address of the follow
ing note, and we take pleasure in acknowledging
its receipt, and reciprocating with the fair writer
the kind wishes therein expressed. Wo know
that we re present.all the gentlemen who took part
in the occasion, in saying that the day was spent
delightfully, and that the incidents it furnished I
will l>e treasured in the memory, and will be re
curred to incoming time with exceeding and ever
renewing satisfaction. Like their fair friend, the
gentlemen lament that the shortness of the day
compelled them to make “pop calls.” They also
regret that swift-footed aud unwelcome night pre
vented them from visiting several valued acquain
tances. It need not be said that the absence of
many was a sore disappointment. To the absent
and present—to those we taw and those we would
have seen, the gentlemen aforesaid wish a happy
New Year, and believe that they express a desire
for the greatest conceivable happiness to the
young ladies of Columbus, when they hope that
their future may be us bright and pleasing as they
deserve to have it.
To the Youna (i’ Htlenien who went “ calling” on

of a charming book, one of my “New Year's

••New Year's call.” In our delightful Columbus
and vicinity, tlwvnstom is new. We had a pleas
ant little time of it, our only regret was. that the
number of calls, necessarily compelled each one
to be almost too short. A happy New Year to
you oil. my friends! May you live to enjoy
imuiv, and may each of them be as bright and
beautiful us the last! I will not wish that every
hour of life, may be free from every cloud—every
shadow. Vain, indeed, would bo #>;eA a wish for

thorns. But 1 would,wish that when dark shad

angrv clouds sometimes obscure your golden sky
of life, the sunshine will be still brighter, for hav

gentlemen, when you shall choose your “bonnie

happiness or misery of a lifetime always depends
—upon which the weal or nee of eternity often

Esq., Treasurer of the Wes ten A Atlantic Rail
road, paid into the State Treasury $25,000 on ac
count of the net earningse of said roud for the
month of December. Wc also learu that the pay

amounting to about $23,000, and which became

Theatricals In Memphis—Manager Crisp.
An article in the Memphis Appeal of a reeeni
date, contrasting the present state of the drama
in that city with what it was in former days, pays
s one well merited compliments to the tact and
ability of Manager Crisp. Speaking of the im
proved taste of the citizens of that place, in the
matter of dramatic entertainments, the writer
says:
For this gratifying change in the public taste
for amusements, we are indebted, in a great meas
ure, to the good sense, liberality and tact of the
present management Mr. Crisp combines in a
very high degree, the qualities of an accomplish
ed and successful manager—a liberal education,
good judgment, cultivated taste coupled with an
intimate acquaintance with the classics aud
belles letters, energy, professional pride, punctu
ality and good business habits, aud is withal a
highly accomplished actor. Mr. Crisp took hold
of the Gaiety here, just ou the eve of the financial
panic which swept over the laud last fall prostrat
ing trade, aud bringing ruin and disaster upon
business of every kind. He has gone on with the
improvements and decorations of the theatre, un
til it is acknowledged one of thehandsomest places
of amusement in the Union—fulfilling punctually
all his business engagements —and in the lace of
a"hitter and .violent opposition from interested
quarters, has won the meed of praise for manage
ing abilities from a reluctant publits. Not, a
theatrical celebrity in the country, but we have
had in Memphis under the present management,
while in the stock, instead of the lazy, loafing,
drunken loungers, with loose habits and looser
morals that too often disgrace the name of actors,
we have an orderly, quiet, well-behaved set of
gentlemen and ladies. Under the strict discip
line and watchful care of Mr. Crisp, vice and im
morality have been driven from the public view,
if not altogether expelled from the theatre, and
the theatre made a place of relined aud cultivated
amusement, and a lit resort for ladies and gentle
men. ,
For these Crisp deserves, and
we believe, has the thanks-si every good citizen ;
for all such, whether they attend the tneatre
or not arc iuterc-sted in having it a place of
rational and refined enjoyment. The Gaiety, we
believe, has passed the critical period of financial
dentition, and we are glad to believe its success is
assured under its present management. However,
it might suit the convenience of interested parties
to wrest its control from present hands, we trust,
when we look back upon the history of theatricals
as they have been in Memphis, that nc such mis
fortune may befall the public. For whatever file
private ground of disagreement between manager
Crisp aud others maybe, wc feel that, as editors,
we have no concern therewith. To us and te* the
public, he is known only as Manager, and in that
capacity, it is but an act of simple justice to say,
his administration has been most able, acceptable
and satisfactory.
The Southern Pacific Railroad Conven
tion.—This body which has been in session here
during the week, and attended, ad
journed last evening to meet in the town of Mar
shall, Texas, on the 19th of January next.
The Convention opened in a perfect tornado of
words, which at oneo frightened us from any
idea of giving publicity to its detailed proceedings.
The public had enough of talk, and wanted only
action. Hence, we determined to wait and see
• whether the Convention would do anything
fore having anything to say upon the subject.—
We are now gratified in being able to announce
that the acrimonious feelings which were at first
excited have quite subsided, and the meeting last
evening was characterized by calmness and a dis
position to do business. The New Orleans stock
holders decided to pay fifty-ceuts per share on
their stock, as stockholders elsewhere have done,
and at their request the President of the Conven
tion appointed Col. Gorin, of Kentucky, as receiv
er of the money, to be returned by him to them
unless the Company gets possession of its prop
erty.
They instructed their receiver to pay over the
money to the President of the Company, Dr.
Joptba Fowlkes, for the purpose ailuded to,
whenever called for. Col. Gorin suggested that
as Mr. Burkhardt, of Kentucky, now in the city,
is the Kentucky receiver, aud is on his way to
Marshall, stockholders should pay to him. This
was agreed to, and the President of the Conven- j
tion appointed Mr. Burkhardt receiver of the !
1 Louisiana stockholders, instead of Col. Gorin.
The meeting closed in high spirits, and the Pre- j
sident remarked that the prospects of the South- j
era Pacific Railroad were never so bright. It was 1
the clear sunshine after the storm.
The President, Hon. Jeremiah Morton, one of !
the regular old School Virginians, the finest spe- i
cimens of true gentlemen iu the world, presided
in a most graceful, dignified aud efficient manner,
and well deserved the vote of thanks that was
tendered him. To his urbanity aud firmness, the
harmonious ami auspicious close of the Conven
tion were largely due.—[*Y. 0. Bulletin.

Congressional— Mr. Seward’s Speech..
Washington, Dec. 21.— Various memorials of
j no public interest were presented.
The Senate passed the bill making appropria
tions for the improvement of. the St. Clair flats,
by ayes 29 nays 22.
The Pacific Rail Road bill came up.
Mr. Seward (N. Y.,) addressed the Senate. He
began by saying:—The descendants of the Dutch
colonists of New York, keep forever bright the
memories of their fatherland. When however,
he traveled in Holland, he could hardly find one
lingering tradition of the settlement of New Neth
erlands, It is always so. The affection of the
emigrant for his native country is ever stronger
than the sympathies of that country for its exiles.
The Senators from California, as vet only repre
sentatives here of society on the Pacific coasts, are
committed to this great measure, und earnest iu
its support. So he hoped that il his arguments in
response to them seemed addressed to the Sena
tors from the Atlantic States, they would do him
the justice to reflect that it is only on this side o!
the Rocky Mountains that the snow and ice
indifference and prejudice resist conviction. Mr.
Seward would not say much concerning the de
tails of the bill. If be were allowed to prescribe
the route and the policy oi constructing a Pacific
Railroad now, be would choose a path which
would be a continuation ol the road lhat our great
North-western emignU ion has hitherto followed.
He would discard all employment of companies,
and all grants of public lauds; and would build
the road as a military, postal, national highway
with the money and credit of the federal govern
ment, anil surrender the lauds along its route to
actual settlers free of cost. He would increase
the revenues by an increase of imports, and create
a sinking fund to absorb gradually the public
debt. But he had concurred in presenting this
bill because it was the only alternative. He ad
mitted there were m.i.vy objections to which the
bill was obno'xi . But the time for delibera
tion has come ■an wad and that lor action i- *“
begin. So b ug earnest in his desire for a Pacific
Railroad he ,ouid accept this bill.
Mr. Sewa: 1 then answered successively the sev
eral objections against the construction of the road
Commerce i.- only an incidental interest in con
nection with this road. It is wanted first, and
chiefly for postal and military—that is to say, for
political purposes. It is a grand error to rely on
commerce for such highways in Territories, where
society has to be called into existence, or that they
e&n be dispensed with till society is created.—
The treaty of Guadaloupe Hidalgo extended the
national jurisdiction across the Rocky Mountains
to the Pacific, and from that moment the neces
sity of postal and military highways across was
disclosed. Our contentions in Utah, Central
America and Mexico, and with Franco and Eng
land, are legitimate consequences of a reliance on
the routes through foreign countries, instead of
through our own.He did not pretend to know how
long we intend to flounder on tiiis erroneous policy,
out wassure that the interior region will not be set
tled till the railroad is built, and that probably the
Pacific States will not forever remain united to
tl:o Atlantic, if they are not so united. The fates
are always busy in weaving a fatal web for indo
lent and improvident nations, and it depends on
the action of Congress now, whether Washington
sh.dl remain the capital of the whole United
States, or only of the United States of the At
lantic, while the city of Mexico becomes the cap
ital of the United States of the Pacific,
lie would not debate the constitutional power for
Congress to authorize the construction of the road.
Even the strictest constructionists admit the pow
er of Congress in case of real necessity, to con
struct post roads within the unorganized territo
ries of the United States, and in case of possible
danger to construct military roads. Lot us im
press the fact that the American people number
now thirty millions, and increase at the rate of a
million annually of free, ambitious men. Such a
people cannot remain stationary. Activity is a
law written in the social constitution of all States.
Under its influence, France has disturbed the
two hemispheres for two hundred years. Great
Britain has extended bar dominion around the
earth. Spain has discovered and colonized half
the globe, and Portugal has reclaimed a large
portion of it, which before had been lost. The
abolition of feudalism and slavery in modern Eu
rope, and the conversion of the Western nations
to Christianity are results of the same national
activity. In obedience to the same law, we have
rescued the country we inhabit from the dominion
of Spain, France, aud Great Britain, aud all our
renewed diplomatic conflicts are so many mani
festations of the energy and ambition of the Ameri
cans proper. It is obvious that this activity must
take either a martial or civic direction, and that
if it do not receive the latter from the hands of
the government, it will force the government to
guide it into the former. How can we otherwise
explain from what the constant agitation of the
filibuster movement, Ostand manifesto and Mon
roe doctrhte, proceeds. To him. it seemed clear
that this peaceful activity far more than military
activity, is for every nation, safe, cheap, frugal,
and increasing- continually the number and wealth
of a nation. War is hazardous and desolating,
its greatest benefit being obtained at a fearful
cost. History teaches that the constant practice
of war is incompatible with the permanence of a
systejn of self-government. If lie were asked
why the British race in this continent is Republi
can, he would say because the national activity
assumes a peaceful character, as monarchical
countries assume a military one : if the national
activity is to have a peaceful direction, it must be
confined in its energies chiefly within our own
territory ; .our domain is already broad enough,
and the opportunity for our activity commensu
rate with it. The necessities of order, safety and
union require us to consolidate our energies with
in it. The Pacific Railroad, with its connections
and lines of telegraphs, are the engines by which
this consolidation mast be effected. He did not
shrink from the enterprise because of its magni
tude; were it less formidable it would be less
adapted to the spirit and genius of the American
people. The enterprise is not really formidable,
considered in relation to the benefits of peace,
wealth and strength, to be derived from the agri
cultural. mineral, manufacturing and commercial
resources of the region. In conclusion he would
sav. if national activity is to take a peaceful and
j beneficent direction, the responsibility of direc
j ting it belongs to Congress; it cannot be left to
| the States; the revenues belong to the Federal
| Government, and if alone lias power to act within
; the Territories. He called on every Senator to
i win for himself the gratitude of posterity by con
| nectiug his name with this great work. It seem
ed to him there is no easier way to win the c-har
} actor, given by the Roman historian to the houor
i ed statesman, “Tie labored for himself with mod
; oration, for the commonwealth with earnestness.”
i Mr. Ward (Kansas) addressed the Senate in
j favor of the Texas route, it is remarks were in
j distinctly heard.
j Mr. Wilson (Mass.) moved an amendment,
j that tile road shall be between parallels thirty
: four and forty-three.
i The details arc postponed till to-morrow.
Mr. Seward (N. Y.) offered a resolution di
\ reeting the Committee on the Judiciary to report
; if further legislation is necessary to stop the slave
j trade.
Mr. Davis objecting, it was lost,
j Mr. Doolittle (Wis.) offered a resolution,
which was adopted, calling for the letter? between
the President of Nicaragua and Com. Paulding,
if there are any such in the Navy Department.
On motion of Mr. Seward, the Secretary of
War was requested to inform the Senate if any
lsnd in New Y'ork harbor can be had for revenue
purposes.
A Congressional Money Market.—A Wash
ington dispatch to a Northern exchange says :
The members of Congress have drawn up more
closely to date than usual, in evidence that money
is not abundant everywhere. The Sergeant-at-
Arrns of the House has disbursed, since the 6th
inst., on account of mileage and arrears of salary,
$327,408. His total disbursements for the present
Congress, up to Wednesday, 15th inst., amounted
to $1,435,292,
TTunny Scene.
We happened to be at our depot a few days i
ago, when the mail train arrived from Bristol, j
As it moved off in a hurry, we observed a young i
gentleman standing upon the track in rear of the !
train, bare headed, and with evident disappoint
ment depicted upon his countenance. Remarking
that a passenger had been left, a by-stander, with
a knowing wink, replied, that the bare headed
man upon the track and a young lady upon the
train bad intended to stop at Abingdon, with the
design of committing matrimony. The young
lady was in charge orher mother, who was taking
her eastward from Bristol to prevent the marriage.
The young couple had arranged the matter thus :
The expectant groom, without the knowledge of
the mother, was to come as far as Abingdon in
the baggage car, and then, aboutthe time the train
was to start, he was to run to the back platform
of the rear car, where his lady love was to be
standing, and as the train moved off he was to
lift her down, and let the incorrigible mammy go
on, with ample time for reflecting upon the un
certainty of human calculations. The arrange
ments were understood by the Engineer, who was
to move oil’ as rapidly as possible as soon as the
hatless gentleman disappeared behind the train.
The mother, however, having seen him making
his way to the rear of the car, looked around for
her daughter, and seeing her about to pass on to
the platform, rushed towards her and grasped
her tightly by her clothing, just at which moment.
the lover having reached the signal post, toot!
toot! sounded the whistle, and away went the
train, with the mother holding on to the daughter,
and the young gentleman, as before remarked,
standing bare headed upon the track, looked very
much as il’ he had let a bird go. —Abingdon !'.*•-

are caused solely by its deranged unhealthy state,

tive is an invaluable remedy. ‘ From the lirsi
blush of womanhood to the ripeness of old age,
it may be taken as an aid, iuvigurant, or expel
lant; it strengthens the fading energies occasion
ed by long life; revitalizing the blood, and re
cruiting the debilitated system.

WOOD’S HAIR RESTORATIVE.
Among all preparations for the hair that have
been introduced as infallible, none has ever given
the satisfaction or gained the popularity that
Prof. Wood's Hair Restorative now has. His
Restorative has passed the ordeal of innumerable
fashionable toilets, and the ladies, wherever they
have tested it .pronounce ii a peerless article. They
find, where the hair is thinned, that it creates a
fresh growth—that it fully restores the vegetative
power of the roots on the denuded places, and
causes the fibres to shoot forth anew—that it dis
solves and removes dandruff, prevents grayness,
restores the hair to its original color when gray
ness has actually supervened, gives a rich lustre,
imparts the sofness and flexibility of silk to the
hair, and keep? it always luxuriant, healthy and
iu fuli vigor.— New York Tribune.
Sold by all Druggists in this city, and by deal
ers and druggists generally throughout the United
States and Canadas. deels—wd2w.
