SAVANNAH DAILY REPUBLICAN, THURSDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 7, 1867. THE DAILY REPUBLICAN. SAVANKTAHi THURSDAY MORNING. FEBRUARY 7 LARGEST PAID CIRCULATION IN CITY AND COUNTY. MR EDU ARD I. BEARD i> our Traveling Agent North, ami is aulhuritrd in receive mlvortisc* uu'uUaul »uK«cri| tioiui for the Daily ami Weekly ttrjiuhlimn 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 foot, depth eight feet, depth of keel (rocker) Aftjr-flvo 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.

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.

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 teiiiptutiou lo a g- od laugh 7 .M.i> k.
