AN F. VENT IN TIIK HISTORY OF SA
VANNAH.
I.nunrh of I lie IMIol llont Emma A. Dlcker-
M)H—Stvnt» null Incidents-
Tho most pleasing event of the season nml one
which bad been uuticii'utcd with considerable inter
est among inimical men—tho launch of I bo now
Pilot B<<at, Emma A Dickerson, at Mr Willink’*
ship yard—occurred yostordaj morning, fonuing nn
imjKirlant episode in tho history of our city, inns-
uiuch as it was tho first launch since tho close nf tho
war. Tho hour announced for tho lnunoh was !•
n'cli ck, but long beloro that tiiuo crowds of people bo-
gan to wend their way down to tho ship yard, and not
withstanding tho vory unfavorable wcatbor, a lurgo
number of carriages containing a goodly delegation o*
I ic fair sex were present,tho ladies showing most c in-
mendablo courage iu braving the storm. About
half-past uiuo o’clock tho steniuship Loo passed
down tho rivor undjr full stoam, fired her
gun and saluted tho new vussol, tho com
pliment being returned by tho latter. At
twenty minutes of ten o'clock tho clatter of axes
and hammers echoed through tho yard, and tho
b'oeks were soon knocked from under tbo craft, and
in a few seconds she glided stcadi.y off tbo ways in
tho most graceful style, amid applause from tho
spectators. Tho inoiucul her stern touched tho wa
ter Capt. Tenbrocck shattered a bottle of champagne
over her bow, and christjned bee tho "Emma A
Dickerson," in compliment to tho accom
plished and amiable wifo of II. J. Dickerson.
R«|, of our city. After reaching her length
frjui tho shipyard wlurf her auebor was
“let go," and sho was "broughtto" inn handsomo
manner amid tho cheers of tho spectators on shore,tho
ladies waving their hiulkirchiofs and evincing ns
much enthusiasm ns though thoir future happiness
depended upon tho successful launching of tho vessel.
I’jton the conclusion ol tho launch, in obodience
to an invitation of Mr. Willink, tho ladies and gen
tlemen, invited guests, adjourned to tho spacious
pattern room, where tho enterprising proprietor had
prepared a bountiful and elegant morning repast,
which was served up uadcr the sup rvision of Mi
Frank l’erry—thampaguo and light wines flowing
in unstinted measure. Here, after the iutcrehuugu
of friendly sentiments and mutual cougratulati
the u'mast conviviality prevailed for two hours
A dscriptiou of tho repast will give our readers
idea of tho generosity of Mr. Willink. Tho centre ta
ble contained a largo fcuil cake, richly ornamented,
bearing a beautiful miniature model of tho now
boat, fully rigged and manned. This rather novel
spcctncle of the entertainment attracted grout at
tention. and elicited much admiration from the
guests. Among those present wo noticed Colonels
Sibley, Carlin and Crofton, and many of our most
prominent citizens, distinguished in the civil walks
of life. Impromptu speeches and appropriate toasts
were plentiful, and it was truly refreshing to know
that tbero are at least some few occasions where
genuino and hearty social fraternization can take
place, where tho discord of jiolitlrs cannot enter, nnd
this to us was ono of tho most agreeable features of
the whole entertainment.
It is really duo to Mr. Willink that prniso should
bo given him for tho truly rcvhervhe manner iu
which everything pertaining to this launch was con
ducted, while tho spirit of goyj taste nnd liberality
di-pi.vyed, marked the affair as one of tho most
agreeablo episodes iu tho history of our city. Tho
happy thought of combining a littlo pleasure nnd
enjoyment with a strictly business undertaking
originated with Mr. Willink, nnd to him hereafter
belongs tho credit of introducing in tho South u
custom that bus long prevailed in Englnnd and in
tho ship-yards of tho North—that of celebrating in
a social tnunnar tbo launching of vessels. Thu
present dearth of excitement in our eity, outside of
tbo i>olitical rings, together with tho general
stagnation of all kinds of business, undoubtedly
tended to give the event of yesterday, iu spite of
the disagreeable weather, renewed zest nnd pleas
ure. Wo havo not keen culled u|>on to indite an
item of local nows during tho past two years that
should givo our readers tuoro unfeigned sati.-fuction
and onjoymont than tho launch of yesterday, sig
nalizing, os it does most emphatically, tho dawu of
hotter days, and tho gradual return to our former
prosperity; tbo prosonco of sufficient native me
chanical 'kill, indomitable energy and ceaseless on
terpriso in tho "Forest City" <>f tho " Empire State,'
to inako her vie even with Now York and Boston
in shipbuilding, regardless of tho innumerahlo ob
stacles that still environ our master mechanics. It
is with this fact in mind that wc exult over tho
stamina of one citizen, or a party of citizons, which
is strong enough to overcome all theso dii-udvan-
tages, and wo do not exaggerate when wo assert that
tin launch of the Emma A Dickorson
more of a triumph, and reflocts more credit
upon Savannah an i her enterprising citizens than
the launch of a "(1/bat Eastern" or "Great Repub
lic" in New York or Boston would to eithor of thoso
groat cities. Hero, wo arc scarcely resurrected from
tho ruins and debris of a most disastrous war, which
not only prostrated tho onergios of our jiooplo, but
destroyed in u great measure the material nnd ma
chinery nocessary for our self-preservation Foun
dries and mills wore swopt away before tho unre
lenting march of a victorious army, engulphing, too
in its vortex of destruction tbo bono and sinew <»l
our land- tho laboring population —until tho cheer
ful ring of tho blacksmith’s anvil—tho hum of
spindles ceased, and was drowned in tho rear of hos
tile cannon un i the llorco roll of nmskutry. Thii
was tho picture two yoars ago. To-day
where ono year ago tho blackened hulks
and ruins of Confederate iron-clads,
and scows lined the banks of our rivor, wo seo
tho while puff of tbo steam pipe, hear the bum
flatter of machinery nnd the clamor of busy voices
in mills, foundries and shipyards, while to no one in
dividual aro we more indebted for the revival of the
ship building interests of our city than to Mr. Henry
F. Willink, Jr.
After tho launch a handsomo American flag, a
long jiennant, and a fine burgee wt-ro hoisted on tho
boat, which gavo her qulto a gala day ap[>carance
Tho following is a description of the Emma A. Dick
erson :
".Slio is built upon a modal combining staunchness
with speed, and by nautical connoisseurs is pro
nounced a flno specimen of American naval archi
tecture..'
“Her length is sixty-threo foct. beam seventeen

feet, dopth of keel midships twenty seven inches
and twelve inches in depth on fore and aft ends,
Her frame, stern, stern-post and rudd'-r are tnndo «.(
live oak, while she is plunked with three-inch yellow
pino and white oak; deck of white plno; Is tho
roughly copiHjr-fustonod; has not an iron or nail
bolt in her; mainmast is sixty-five feet and foremast
sixty-threo nnd n half foct each in length, nnd
bowsprit twenty-three feet
•‘.Sbo will ho forty-two Ions, new register. Her
cab'n is neatly furnished with black walnut She
will spread eight hundred yards of canvas. The
total cost of tho Emma A Dickerson was $1 l,fi(JO
Sho is owned by Messrs Joseph Claghorn, II. J.
Dickcnou, II F. Willink, Jr, Captain J l>
Tenbroock, Captain Joseph .McCoy, and L'optain
James Sagunt.
It was generally supposed by our ritizms that
owing to tho severe Gorin tho launch would ho post-
poned until u pleasant day, and in consequence of
this impression hundreds of people who have nevor
witnessed such a novel sight will bo kesnly
^appointed.
THE M I'RI.V OF COTTON.
Al a recent sofsion ol tint American Social Selonco
Association, held in lb eton, Joseph S Fay, l'Di|,
formerly ono ot Savannah's m-vt di*l|pguMu<d ami
philanthropic citirens, rend a l-rirf pajaw upon tho
supply of cotton, and as a matter of inti rest to our
citirens wo republish tho lotto sing riqmrt from the
Boston Advertiser of the Hist ultimo:
" Observing that he feared that tho current idea
that coltmi was no longer king was Into so far as tho
Fulled Slates aro concerned, Mr. Fay said that it
was not for our commercial advantages that its em
pire had been transferred to oilier countries. Ho
had always considered that tho great Southern sta
ple owed its cheapness to tho former system of sluvo
Inlior It was an unanswerable fact that there was
no region in tho world where Inbor was so available,
so well controlled, so well organized, and so intelli
gently managed ns In tho Southern United States
previous to tho Rebellion. Thu large planter, with
Ills strong credit and capital, his thousand slaves, his
hundred mules, uud his steam-driven cotton gin ami
prow, had a great advantage in powor nnd cost of
production over the small farmer, with only tho In
Uw ol himself ravl family, aided perhaps by a lured
negro or two It could not. therefore, bo oxpecteil
tb»l cotton would become abundant or cheap with
tho Introduction of free white or black labor "
"Mr. Fay said lie hud gruvo doubts whether us
freudmen the colored |ample would work ns well as
when they wore slaves, nml ho behoved that their
number would diminish rather than iucrunse. Hence
there would bo a scarcity of nml a greater demand
for labor, resulting in an enhancement of tho price
of cotton. Wo should bo unable to compete with
tho choap labor of foreign countries, for we could
not afford to soil cotton nl loss than HO rents a jsiuml,
while India cotton, after paying heavy charges of
freight from Bombay. Imd been sold in Liverpool
7 cents, and could be sold as low as that agiin
To all these <d oumstiinees there was now added
an-Wher buidoa iu the revenue tax of three cents
per (Miund, placing our industry at so much disad
vantage in vomj<etitum with other cotton producing
countries nl a time when it can illy hear it
"In comhisiom, Mr. Fay said lie Icared that with
slavery the dry of cheap cotton had passed away,
never to return, and with it much of ■ ur greatness
as a eoinmer ial nation It waste be luqied that
time in its changes might bring us a substitute or a
compel ration other than the moral one "
At the conclusion of Mr Fay’s piper, tho depart
ment adjourned until afternoon.

|Correspondence ot the Cincinnati C« tinner.dal.)
Wamii\ot<>n, January "ll —It will he remem
bered that about a mmnli ago .Mr Ashley offered a
resolution iu tiie House of Representatives direct
ing tho Judiciary Committee t*. inquire if any offi
cer of the United States had been guilty of high
crimes or misdemeanors within the meaning of tho
Constitution, or had conspired :o subvert the Con
stitution of tho United States. This looked at tho
lime, certainly to me, and, I think, to most others,
raiher like the evasion of a direct charge against
the President, than an attempt to uuku it inure
comprehensive, and to include others bt-i-lo that
unhappy gentleman I know that most of those
who referred to the subject in conversation at the
lime, so regarded it. There was one gentleman,
however, on tho floor of the House of Representa
tives, win*, as if by inspiration, saw through it thu
instant it was offered, and construed urigbt tho
poisonous malice it concealed under an apparently
harmless coating of wo’ds. The presentation of
such a resolution, wires* coming had not been
heralded by any previous announcement or
intention, and was known but to half a do
zen members, very naturally threw the House
into a temporary confusion, and created quite a stir
on tho Republican side What the public already
knows on tho subject is only what transpired iu tho
way of regular business, hut the by-play, that did
not come under that head, is tho important part
that shows tho animus of tho movement. As-• on
us the resolution was road Mr Bingham jnuqed
from his sent, nnd went over to Ashley, to whom ho
addressed sotno very harsh language, asking him
what he meant by such a proposition as that, and
why he did’nt frame it to apply to the UresidoLt
only, in*teud ol making it a drag not to include
every officer of tho Government A.-hley hesitate I
a while, affected u knavish smile, and replied that
‘ho gu-ssed it was nil right" " No, it is’nt all
right," said Bingham; "it's a stab at Gun Grant,
and no such malicious thing shall go through the
Hou o if I can help it." “suppose it does inclu lo
Grant," said Ashley, "can't wo investigate his eon*
duct, ton ! and can't we impeach him if ho has been
guilty under tho resolution J" Bingham looked at
Ashley a moment and replied in nuivous wrath,
“ Ashley, you're a fool; d m't you know that you
can’t impeach any but a civil oilier of the Govern
ment under the Constitution I" By ihi- time quite
a group had collected where the colloquy ivas being
held, and Thud. .'Stevens, scenting »• breeze, ha i
oo.uo over to avert a storm. Addressing him, Bing
ham asked what was the meaning of this damnable
assault upon General Grant "Oh, nothing," said
.Stevens in his insidious way—"only wo want to in
vestigate some charges recently made against him
I don’t see why Grant should lm more ireo from in
vestigation any more than Johnson, lie’s ju-t a.- bad
as Johnson." Bingham again denounced uliut he
termed "a foul eon-piracy against the chief officer of
the Army of the Republic," and he gave ihe low
friends of tho resolution who were are around him
fair warning tbit if they pn-.«od it, ho should expose
tho cowardly proceeding as it deserved. By this
time the resolution had "gone over," as the parlia
mentary phrase is, from a refusal of thu House to
suspend thu rules Quiet Imd been restored on the
floor, and the business of thu day was quietly pro
ceeding Bingham addressed Ashley, in presence
of several members, in language like this : -Tell
the honest truth now, who instigated that resolu
tion I" “Why, what makes you think it wasn't my
own 7" inquired Ashley. "Because," said Bingham,
I know there ia ton much cunning in it for you, ami
I'll bet you anything you dare that Thud. .Stevens
or Ben. Butler either wrote it or dictated its spirit."
Ashley again protested against Bingham's right lo
quostion tho authorship; and Bingham again re
peated that there was too much craft and design
about it for anybody but Stevens or Butler. What
from Bingham's earnestness and Ashley's faintly
disguisod equivocation, thu dispute had Income
quito interesting, and a number o| Radical members
had collected around the disputants. After some
further bantering and badgering on Bingham's part,
Asidev confessed that Stevens had a little to do with
it, and Butler a littlo to do with it, and that ono of
it* principle objects was to givo Butler an opportu
nity of making aud proving certain charges ugainst
Gen Grant.”
Now this ia no story of iho imagination It is a
statement of fuel, given to me by olio who was wit-
lies-to it, and sub l.inii.ned by others I heard it
s« mo tune ago. hut looked upon it as so impruluitdu
on its face thai I dichiicd lo print it until I had ver
ified it from such ;»source as would leave no doubt
of its accuracy.
Mr Binghaiu di selves (lie approbation of all true
men lor his timely in ten-ess ion to avert an act, tho
slightest inis-hicl done by which would have I icon
the disgrace of (In-mm who participated iu it, for in
their dis.rae the uh lo American people would
hive been ii.ro!vod in thu eyes of thu civilized
worl I
But after all, tin ugh there is room for denuncia
tion and cause lor wrath in the idea of Butler and
Ashley charging Giant with a conspiracy to subvert
tho Gotcrriin m. ou t there, on tho whole, more
