VIBGIHIA.
We publish this morning extracts
from that time honored and stoiling
journal, the Richmond Whig . showing
the action of “ the Mother of States and
of Statesmen” in this crisis.
Virginia, whose people sprang to arms
in defiance, as one man, when the call
or 75,000 men was issued at Washing
on, in 1861, now that the fight is over
and decided against us, yields a ready
obedience to the law of the land, and
exercises her best endearors to save her
people from further loss, without wait
ing to consult with persons or peoples
outside of her domain, and risking the
little that is left.
The whole question is clearly stated
in the following extracts from the Rich
mond Whig:
FINALITIES.
Will submission to the Military Re'
construction act, and compliance with
its conditions reinstate Virginia ntid be
a finality 7 We very much doubt, and
without hesitation confess it. But upon
another point we have no doubt: the
retusal of the Legislature to call a con
vention will be the surrender of the
power heretofore wielded by the govern
ing class into the hands of apostates and
adventurers and the incapable mass of
new voters whom, in that event, they
would control, and that would be a
finality. The power so lost will never
be recovered. Those who have govern
ed Virginia from the foundation of the
Commonwealth—her real people—will
be disfranchised, proscribed and de
graded forever. It is such a finality as
this that we seek to avert by calling a
convention. The subordinate question
of representation in Congress, we are
willing to adjourn—without reference to
time, if only we can escape the immedi
ate and immeasurably greater evil of
the supremacy among ourselves here at
home of an inferior race.
“ I AM HOLIER THAN THOU. ’>
When such gentlemen as those com
posing the Senate Committee, of which
Senator Bolling, of Petersburg, is the
Chairman, almost unanimously pro
nounce in favor of a Convention, what
becomes of the argument that it is de
grading and dishonorable to espouse
such a movement. Are not these gen
tlemen possessed of an honor ns sensi
tive and as above reproach as any of
the citizens ot this Commonwealth 1
Wherein are those very fastidious and
par excellence sensitive gentlemen who
employ this argument their superiors 7
Have the latter shown more devotion,
more State pride, more disinterested pa
triotism ia our troubles? Have they
been more willing to encounter perils
p.nd to make sacrifices? Have their
dealings with their fellow men been
marked by more integrity, and their
lives been illustrated by a loftier moral
ity? Wherein are they better than those
to whom we have referred, and such as
hold like opinion ? We would not attempt
to discredit or disparage these gentle
men. They have their scruples, and
scruples are always to he respected.
But when other gentlemen, their equals
in intelligence, in character, in honor,
have not the same scruples, and unhesi
tatingly do what they are not willing to
do, it is going rather too far to connect
that strong word degradation with their
names and their acts 1 The fervid de
clamation we bear about honor would
better become the first stages of a revo
lution, when ardent young men, emulous
of fame, are rallying to the virgin and
unfurled banner— before the battle has
been fought and lost. Such declamation
at a period like the present is ill timed
and out of place. It suits not the grave
and gray headed fathers of the Com
monwealth, who are resposible to God
and to posterity for the wise and faith
fal execution of the trust committed to
them.
These gentlemen may put on a dra
matic aspect and talk eloquently about
death before degradation, and all that.
Some of them are lawyers. They have
cultivated oratory, and know all the
starts, artifices and intonations of the
orator. They please the ear, and excite
in their hearers a sort of sympathetic
glow—a phosphorescent and short-lived
enthusiasm. But their words carry no
conviction with them. They sit down,
and the effect ceases. Honor is not a
thing of the intellect, to be made the
sport of artful oratory. It is a subtle
thing of sentiment, feeling, character.
Bacon, the great intellectual prodigy ol
his age, had no honor. He who knew
so many things did not know the mean
ing of that word, llis inferiors in intel
lect were his superiors in honor.
Are we dissatisfied with what we have
done that we should be so uneasy a* out
ourhenor? Surely not. If sny people
can afford to make terms without incur
ring reproach, we can, for the whole
earth will bear us witness that we resis
ted, struggled, fought up to the point of
utter exhaustion. We did all that mor
tal men could do or dare.
“Who doeo the beat hit circumstance allows
Does well—acts nobly ; angels cau do no
more."
IF WE ACQUIESCE.
One of the points taken by those op
posed to calling a convention to coufurm
to the conditions imposed by the mili
tary reconstruction act is dial Congress
cannot, without our help, give vitality
and help to the Constitutional Amend
ment and negro suffrage ; that if we
hold back and do nothing, these meas
ures will be iuopera'ive; hence, by
wocenting them, we come to the relief of
Congress, und by our consent give vital
ity and operative force to them. This
is said in the face of the fact that one
of these measures—negro suffrage—
this very moment in operation, and
that the most objectionable feature of
the Constitutional Amendment—that
disfranchising our late leaders—is a
part of the Military bill which the I res
ident, notwithstanding bis veto, is
pledged to execute. This is one answer.
But there is anotheY. To the assump
tion that our consent makes that consti
tutional which is unconstitutional with
out it, we have only to reply that our
consent under duress is no consent in
law, and if spontaneous even, cannot
legitimates whet is unconstitutional.
Every unconstitutional law is subject to
the action of the Supreme Court. That
tribunal, like everything elae, is now
subordinated to Congress, but when the
revolutionary storm *hall have spent its
tury, and public affairs shall be re-es
tablished, its jurisdiction will again at
tach and be exerted.
PROCRASTINATION.
The House committee has not yet
reported—nothing has been heard from
it, save a romor that it will not be
ready to report until to-morrow. Mean
while, the Senate, with commendable
dispatch, has passed the bill reported
by the committee of thirteen, by an
overwhelming majority—only four in
the negative. This bill will be commu
nicated to the house to-day, and will
probably preclude the necessity for any
report iron its committee. At ail events,
it will bring up the subject in the House
to-day. Rumor has it that the House
will go, by a large majority, for the bill.
It is expected that the opposition will
be warm and determined, and will de
monstrate itself in impassioned rhetoric.
We hope that the House will imitate
the example ot the Senate, and pass the
bill without unnecessary talk.
Shall we Desert the President ?
This is a leading question of those
who oppose prompt action by tbe exclu
ded States, toward accepting the military
bill. This question might be answered
in another interrogatory—iu what way
does the favor of the President benefit
us? Wc have accepted State Constitu
tions abolishing slavery and repudiating
our war debt, as suggested by the Presi
dent, and not findiug out status materi
ally improved thereby, we refused the
Constitutional Amendment, under the
hope that the President in his manly
stand against Congressional usurpations,
would be able to preserve the Constitu
tion, and save us further hardship and
humiliation. Events have shown that
the President is powe-Jess. Indeed
while the South respects his firmness,
there is no just reason for regarding him
as favoring us beyond his absolute con
viction ot duty as a sworn Executive
officer. He is responsible for the con
tinued imprisonment of Mr. Davis—an
incident which has perhaps done more
than any other single circumstance to
prevent the restoration of fraternal feel
ing between the sections. His release
on bail was urged by the leading mem
bers of all parties, but for some reason,
best known to himself, tEe President
was not influenced by their appeals. We
refer to this in no spirit of reproach—
but to illustrate the idea, that after all,
the alleged friendship of tbe President
has been more iu the breach with the Radi
cals than in the observance of any par
tiality toward us. We honor him for
his respect for the Constitution; but prac
tically the difference between the Con
gressional mode of adjustment, and the
plan of the President—np to the passage
of the Constitutional Amendment, was
more technical than real; for under the
President’s policy, none but those who
could take the test oath could obtain
seats in Congress. So to a “loyal'’
complexion it had to come, at last. To
that complexion we propose to bring it,
by the prompt action of our sewn people,
that we may not be forced to accept
imported loyalists whose prejudices as
well as sympathies, are all against us.
The Richmond Dispatch , a paper of
most unquestioned Southern fealty, and
of larger circulation than any in Vir
ginia, alluding to this subject says:
One of the arguments of those who
inveigh against submitting to the Sher
man Law is to ask, with great emphasis,
“Shall we desert the President?” We
almost suspect them of designing to be
facetious. They might as well accuse
the army of General Lee of deserting
President Davis. The President gives
us the benefit of his vetoes, which arc
very fine defences of constitutional
rights on paper ; but he gives Congress
the benefit of his acts in enforcing the
laws which he has pronounced uncon
stitutional! President Davis put forth
a great many protests against the acts
of the Federal Government, and his
protests were about as potential with
Congress as those communicated to that
body by President Johnson. Vetoes,
when overridden by the powerful ma
jority in Congress, are of no service to
us, while the example of the author of
these vetoes, in enforcing the laws he
pronounses unconstitutional, not only
counsels us to respect the laws, but ab
solutely forces us to submit to them.
The time has come when we must
sink the sentiments of consideration
for the President, as well as for
our disfranchised fellow citizens, in the
great absorbing issue of saving some
thing of popular liberty and material
interest.
The Cotton Mania.
Though corn is being imported from
the West at the rate of two or three
hundred thousand bushels per week, we
regret to learn that many of the plant
ers are adhering to the old mania for
Cotton.
There is a mysterious infatuation
about this staple, of which it seems im
possible for our people to divest them
selves. In other days we relied on it as
the great king which was to dictate a
satisfactory solution of our political trou
hies; and now we cling to the delusion that
its snowy fleece affords an ample shield
against all our troubles. Men are will
ing to ignore the condition of the coun
try—the dangers of confiscation, the
terrors of militnry rule, and all other
political ills, if they can but he allowed
to make a Colton crop. Meantime Cot
ton continues to decliue in price, and
there is no assurance that the next crop
will bring over 10 or 15 cents a pound;
nor indeed, is there assurance that the
grower will bo allowed to enjoy the
proceeds. Let us suppose that in addi
tion to the preseut exactions ot Congress,
a confiscation law should go into effect,
and the Cotton oi all disfranchised per
sons should be declared forfeited to the
United States—who can conceive the
distress that would result, if they neglect
the production of food, and rely on Cot
ton to purchase supplies ?
Planters cannot weigh with too much
care the importance of raising tood
enough for man and beast. The roost
suicidal folly that ever beset a people
is to depend on others for something to
eat. It was the great cause of disaster
in our late struggle, and will be a per
petual cause ot dependence and of im
poverishment, to land and people, in the
future.
Extra Constitutional Authority
The Washington Republican replies
to the argument of those who urge that
President Johnson had no constitutional
right to appoint Provisional Governors
for the excluded States, by instancing
the purchase of Louisiana by Thomas
Jefferson. There was no clause in the
Constitution authorizing the purchase,
and it was assumed as an inherent right
of sovereignty. So, at the close of the
war, there was no mode prescribed in
tbe Constitution to meet the existing
condition of the country, and the course
of tbe President was justified as an au
thorized mode of preserving the life of
the nation. This is urged in vindication
as well of the late President Lincoln as
of President Johnson, in the exercise of
extra constitutional powers, which, ip
adjusting the issues growing out of the
war, it is urged, are justified by every
nation in Christendom. This view does
not accord with the strict construction
theory usually accepted at the South,
but will, it is said, be relied on by the
President as a defense of his conduct
against any effort at impeachment for
the exercise of the powers referred to.
Expensive Housekeeping-
Uncle Sam is fast losing the reputa
tion for frugality and republican sym
plieity which were so long a source of
pride to his admiring nephews and
nieces.
The appropriations voted by the Sec
ond Session of the XXXIXth Congress
to pay for tbe current expenses of the
Government during the coming year,
and to supply the deficiences of the last
fiscal period, amount to the pretty little
sum of $144,793,037.61. Os this the
Army takes $23,881,654; the Navy,
$16,794,244. The 'JVibune indulges in
a lengthy review of the numerous cl. cels.
which go to make up the sum total.
Among them is $206,049 for printing
the Congressional Globe, which nobody
reads; SBO,OOO for the distribution of
seeds, which nobody wants ; and over
$2,000,000 to that venerable of old
chaps, Pub. Doc., whose lumber
fills every library in the land. The
priuting of greenbacks costs $200,000 ;
tbe note and loan account costs $2,000,-
000 ; -while for lighting the Capitol and
White House, $50,000 is paid, notwith
standing the quantity of gas generated
in the Conjressional retorts.
Public Opinion at the North.
If proof were needed of the extreme
radicalism of the Northern constituen
cies, and of the extent to which their
feelings areembittered against the South,
it is only necessary to examine the
subscription lists of the Southern Relief
Commission, and learn the fact that,
allhough the destitution of thousands of
our people, and the impoverished con
dition of all, were forcibly described,
and though Greeley and Bennett,
Beecher and Fernando Wood united in
the appeal to the rich North to help the
famishing Souih, little more than thirty
thousand dollars have been subscribed,
and a third of that amount has been given
by two members of the Commission,
Mr. A. T. Stewart, the dry goods mer
chant. and Mr. Brown, the Wall street
banker. A much larger sum was col
lected in a couple of days to relieve a
few rebel Greeks in the Island ot Can
dia, and, after the disastrous fire which
destroyed a portion of a town in Canada,
the wealthy Norih was eager in its mu
nificent donations to relieve the suffer
ers.
When the managers of this benevolent
Commission inquire why it is that an
appeal so urgent falls upon dead ears,
and that the popular heart is closed
against millions of their fellow country
men in distress, they are told that while
we refuse to organize society, so that ne
groes, loyal men, and those of Northern
birth will be respected, and allowed to
pursue their business, or pleasure,
amongst us with perfect security and
perfect protection from the Courts, and
made to feel as much at home in the
South ns in other portions of the eonti
nent, no reconstruction or reconciliation
is possible, and that*the coercion of
military force, and not charitable aid is,
the relief lor which the situation calls.
The tone of our newspapers, the atti
tude of those at the North who are de
scribed as the -‘friends of the rebels,”
the obstinacy of those who are consid
ered the “Southern politicians,” and the
insulting character of letters received
from Southern men asking relief for
themselves or their friends, filled with
bitterness and defiance, are severally
and collectively adduced as full explan
ation ol the reasons why the prayer for
relief (or the South has been unheard
or denied.
This is no fanciful picture, nor is it
drawn from conjecture or inference.
Within the past week I read a portion
of a letter addressed to a gentleman of
high character, and who held prominent
position in the Confederate service, by
one immediately identified with the
Southern relief movement, who is heart
ily anxious to secure its success, and
sincerely laments its comparative failure,
in which the reasons which I have
sketched were fully and forcibly set
forth.
The letter goes on to statelhat the writer
did everything in bis power to induce
Northern capitalists to establish a sys
tern of loans to Southern planters to
enable them to renew their stock and
implements and purchase fertilizers,
the loans to be secured by mortgage of
the lauds und a portion of the crop to
be devoted each year to repay the interest
and a part of the principal. But the
committee of bankers to whom the pro
position was referred, declared it to be
impracticable to get the money. Even
an effort to procure loans of small sums
for a few individuals who offered ample
security hus been equally unsuccessiul,
■be men who have money refusing posi
tivaly to land n dollar on any Southern
tecunty.
Our lawlessness, and the fear that
another may be necessary, the
growing hatred and ill will of the North
ern people towards all rebels, and the
increasing determination of all classes,
especially the young men. to compel ns
at the point of the bayonet to organize
Our society on principles of equality for
all classes, without regard to race or
color, have led the moneyed men to lock
their vaults and run no risks, and have
frozen the sources of beuevolence, so
that our weakness produced by destitu
tion is rather canse for satisfaction than
regret—a condition to be maintained
rather than to be relieved.
These are lamentable facts which
every Southern man who has recently
visited the North fully corroborates, and
which we must not disregard when »e
consider the situation in which we are
placed.
We cannot nfford now to nurse delu
sions, and buoy ourselves by false
hopes; and the flimsiest of delusions
and the falsest of hopes is the expecta
tion that there will be “a revulsion of
feeling at the North."
Whether we consent to drain the enp
presented to our lips, or refuse to do so
until the Courts decide that we must, or
whether ire determine to sit still and
allow ourselves to drift along, let us
alwavs keep in view of the state of popu
lar feeling at the North, and remember
that radical legislation is but the ex
pression of that feeling.
When a Minister of the Gospel, whose
mission it is to preach “ Faith, Hope,
and Charity, but the greatest of these is
Charity," (feels compelled to recommend
the displacing of the last named, super
excellent virtue, in the disguise of
“ Christian Vengeance he must have
felt that his audience were not likely to
taste the sweetness of Gospel Charity,
unless it were highly seasoned with that
newly discovered spice, to which he
gave the name of “Christian vengeance,"
and of which no mention is made in the
teachings of Him whose servant he pro
fesses to be. Xylok.
Mr. Peabody.— Mr. Peabody desires
the press generally to state that the im
mense number of letters, from all parts
of the country, soliciting donations:
could not possibly receive his attention
before leaving for England. Many of
these applicants desire their names kept
secret, and he has, therefore, caused all
such letters, amounting to about 4,000,
to be burned in his presence, thus re
lieving their apprehensions and his re
sponsibility.
Southern Destitution —Ret.ief from
Coxgurs3. —The prompt action ot Con
gress in passing a joint resolution ap
propriating one million dollars lor the
relief of the people in the South, loyal
and disloyal alike, will be cordially ap
proved thronghout the whole country.
It is not merely want in its ordinary
forms that exists at the South ; it is
starvation. The operations of private
charity are too slow for the present
emergency. The relief must be instant;
for it is now a case ot life and death in
most of the Southern States. The ap
propriation of a million by Congress,
then, comes in good time, nnd we trust
that there will be no delay or unneces
sary machinery in expending it. Apart
from the question of humanity involved
in the measure, it is an excellent stroke
of policy, which will go a great way to
show even the most stubborn minds in
the South that Coneress is not disposed
to treat them with that harshness which
some of the leaders and newspapers
represent. —New York Herald, March

WILCOX. GIBES St CO S
MANIPULATED GUANO!
This article is being prepared by us at our place of business
in this City, where we invite Planters and others interested t l } call and examine our
stock, and witness the preparation of the above named MANURE. It is composed
entirply of pure and unadulterated GUANOS (of which 25 per cent of the whole mixture
is warranted to be pure No. 1 Peruvian Guano), and we warrant each and every package
of it to contain the exact ingredients and same proportions as the sample analyzed by
Prof. Shepard, whose analysis and report we annex, as follows :
Charleston, S. C., February 16th, 1867.
3fesßrß. Wilcox, Gibbs & Cos.:
Gentlemen : The following is my analysis and report upon the sample you have
placed in my hands, of Wilcox, Gibbs <fc Co.’s Manipulated Guano :
Hygrometric water 18.60
Combined water and organic matter rich in ammoniacai salts 18.00
Phosphate of lime 44.50
C rbonato of lime 1.80
Insoluble silicious matter, with considerable traces of per oxide of iron 15.80
Chloride of sodium, sulphates of ammonia, lime, and soda, with loss 1.30
100.00
The present sample shows a very advantageous mixture. It has enough of Peruvian
Guano (say 25 per cent.) for any soil or crop ; while the great bulk of the preparation
is obviousiy an unadulterated natural Guano, rich in organic matter, with considerable
already formed Ammonia (and the material for its continued production as required by
the crop), together with 44.50 per cent, of Phosphate of Lime, nearly two per cent, of
which is in a soluble state. If kept up to the standard of this sample, there is no hazard in
predicting that lands treated with 250 or 300 pounds of it to the acre, will be placed in
an effective condition for any crop.
Very respectfully, yours, CHARLES UPIIAM SHEPARD.
Knowing tbe composition, as well a* judging from the analysis and report of Prof.
Shepard, we are confident it will prove to be an exoellcnt MANURE, and pay any
Planter handsomely who uses it judiciously. We would recommend the use of 175 to 200
pounds per acre for Cotton or Corn ; 250 to 300 pounds for Wheat, and that it be applied
the same as other Guanos—under the bed for Cotton, in the hill for Com, and broadcast
lor Wheat. This Guano is ready for use, all the lumps having been thoroughly ground,
nnd the whole passed through a seive before packing, and it is a very handsome article
in appearance and condition. It is packed in barrels ot about 300 pounds, and bags of
200 pounds, and the price will bo uniform, as follows : $65 per Ton of 2,000 pounds,
Cash.
Our Agents will sell at tho same price, with necessary expenses added.
We are now prepared to deliver this Guano in quantities to suit, and solicit orders
Tor the same, which will be promptly filled.
We will also keep, both here and in Savannah, a good supply of Pure No. 1
PERUVIAN GUANO, which will be sold at the market price; also, Pure No. 1
PHCENIX GUANO, at $55 per Ton of 2,000 pounds, in Savannah, or S6O here—Cash.
All orders should be addressed to us at .AUGUSTA, GA.
