[From the Liverpool Courier.] Uirrrt Trade with the South. As it is impolitic in domestic econo my to pul all the household eggs in one basket, so it is inanvisable in national policy to be dependent on one customer or friend. The monopolist of trade or friendship may turn his favors into a new channel, in which every serious detriment m iy result to the discarded victim. Gi*-at Britain and the United States, however, appear to be putting themselves within this peri! in the mode of conducting ther respective trades. The commerce of the two countries flow through one channel, in which there happen to be numerous obstruc tions, serious leakages, and not a little hostility. The whole seaboard trade ot the United States is concentrated in New York—thither the raw cotton ot The Treatment of the Sonlh. The Statesman condenses a vast deal of truth on this subject. It says the malignant and persecuting spirit mani fested by the Radicals towards the Southern people is almost a parallel in the records of human bitterness and vindictiveness. There never lias been an hour since the war when the South could not have been safely restored to its old relations to the the Union, not only without danger, hut with the great est benefit to the public interests. It might have been done within two months after the war ended, and, if it had been done, we should now’ have peace in fact as well as in name ; our commercial prosperity would have been restored, or national debt greatly reduced, and the whole country put on the broad highway to its former wealth , , , w i • i and greatness.

FROM OLR FOREIGN COMMISSIONER OF 1MM1 GRATION. COL. SA.m’l WEIL IN GERMANY. Editor Constitution : For the information of the people of Georgia, I ask a place in your columns to say that I have a communication from Col. Samuel Weil, the Foreign Commission er of Immigration for this State, an nouncing his safe arrival in the city of Bremen. He set sail from Baltimore, on the steamer Berlin, on the 14th of July, and after a pleasant passsage, of fif teen days, landed at Biemen on the the home manufacturer, are | 29th of July. It is his purpose to make charge? upon the retail consumer, system compels the public to pay more for goods than they would he required to pay if the cheaper commodities of the foreigners—who work under mure favorable auspices—were admitted into the market. The Americans are really taxing a community for the advantage i of class, hut as vet the tolly has not been made clear to their understanding, i The North is chiefly, perhaps solely I favorable to this fallacious principle, its interests being antagonistic to those ot ' the South. The former is a manulac- tur»-i desirous of securing the exclusive right of supplying the people, and seeks in piomote this policy by subjecting foreign rivals to burdensome charges. 11 The Sc.utii, being a grower of raw ma terial, is interested in obtainining man- ulactuiured goods at the lowest possible price, irrespective of the locality of their production ; but the North, for the ‘’■protection” of its own interests, levies a different tax on foreign goods, which falls with undue severity on the Soul h. This state of ihings cannot be altered at present, but is existence is another strong reason why needless charges should be avoided on trade with the cotton crowing districts. There is no possible reason why raw cotton should be exported, and foreign goods import ed, through New York. It is a circuit ous route, involving waste of time and needless expense. These may be avoided by the establishment ot direct trade between Eutope and the South. Let the raw cotton be exported direct from New Orleans, Savannah and Charleston, let the Manchester manu facturers and the Liverpool brokers deal direct with those ports, or, better still, with the planters in the country. And in the same way the manufactured goods required lor the consumption of the Southerners should be landed at the nearest port, not shipped to New York, and thence reshipped to their destina tion. Ail this unnecessary handling ol articles of trade enhances their selling price, and ultimately falls on the con sumer. The people of the Southern Stales are awakening to the importance of es tablishing direct trade between Europe and their own ports, alike as matters ot economy and self ii terest. A Com mercial Convention has been formed at Memphis, whose policy it is to bring prominently and in a practical form before European capitalists, the profit able field lor the employment of capital in the Southern States. The associa tion is slated to represent “all the lead ing men in the South and Southwest, and to be entirely free from all politi cal questions. It is a commercial and economical movement, in which Liver pool possesses exceptional concern, and about which we shall learu further in a short time. The Southern Commer cial Convention has deputed an author ized representative to visit the great centers of commerce in this country and the continent in order to give au thentic information on the present po sition and prospects ol the South, and to foster direct "trade between the cot ton fields of America and the factories ol Europe. Mr. I*• C. Moreliead, the gentleman deputed «>u this mission, has just ariived in Liverpool, and the ad dress lie is about to deliver to the Chamber of Commerce and the Cotton Supplv Association will deserve espe cial attention, from the importance of the subject and the authoritative man ner in which it will be elucidated.

Weil informs me that there pre vails in his native land, a prejudice against the country and people of the South, resulting from tin* studied and persistent teaching of the enemies of our section. For want of proper infor mation on the subject, the German peo ple are nlraid of our climate, and have been lead to believe, from Northern journals that the South is no place fora happy home or a prosperous life. The German press has caught the infection, and its influence is set a- gainst us. In that country as well as n regions nearer home, our reviled | and persecuted section has had no ad vocates or defenders. Agents of rail- raods and land companies, from the Northern and Northwestern Slates of this country, are to be found all over Germany, and they make it a special part of their business to villify and traduce the Southern States and people. Col. Weil goes amongst the people of his native land, prepared to meet these traducers of the South, and refute their slanders. Bold and fearless as he is, Georgia will find in him a dili gent and faithful representative of her interests. He carried with him facts and figures and documents, which, coupled with an experience of eighteen years residence in the State, will ena ble him to place Georgia- in her true light to show that no State or country under the sun, presents to the sober, industrious, and enterprising emigrant more advantages than may be found in this commonwealth. Col. Weil enters upon the duties of his mission earnestly and hopefully, lie will at once have his circulars prin ted and distributed, and from his head quarters at Bremen, he will travel in the interior, diffusing correct informa tion among the people as to the climate resources and capabilities of Georgia, with a view of inducing such of the German people, and such only, to come to our Slate, as will make good citizens and add to the wealth and pros perity of our people. It is the purpose of Col. Weil to in duce, if possible, a large steamship company to establish a line from Bre men direetto Savannah, and if he should succeed in this, many of the impedi ments to immigration will be removed.

From an article in the New York “Citizen Sf Hound Table," we notice that Georgia was the fourth State, of the “Old 'Thirteen,” to ratify the origi nal Federal Constitution, which she did by a unanimous vole, or> the 2d day of January, 1788. A3 this remin iscence ofthe past, may he interesting to our readers, we extract from the ar ticle referred to, the following history of that important event: “There was little or no opposition in tins Stale, and no demand for a- mendment8. Her Convention, being called to consider the proposed plan, and the accompanying letter and reso lution, ‘and to adopt, or reject, any part or the whole thereof,’ (Ibid, 323,) unanimously ratified the Constitution —the substance of her ordinance be ing as follows : ‘Now know ye that we, the delegates of the people ofthe State of Georgia, in Convention met, pursuant 600,000 200,000 200,000 If it he fair to assume that the total mortality of 186:3-4 was fully equal to that of 1862, then the total deaths in the Confederate Army, 1861-5, was at least 160,000, exclusive of the deaths in Northern prisons the number to deaths amongst the discharged for wounds ami diseases, and amongst the sick and wounded on furlough, be add ed, the grand total of deaths in the Confederate Army during the entire war, did not fall far short of 200,000. According to this calculation, the deaths from disease were about three times as numerous as those resulting from the casualties of battle. The available Confederate force ca pable ot active service in the field did riot, during the entire war, exceed six hundred thousand men. Of this num ber. not more than four hundred thou sand were enrolled at any one lime ; and the Confederate States never had in the field more than two hundred thousand men capable of bearing arms, at any one lime, exclusive of sick, wounded and disabled. If the preceding calculation be cor rect we have the following figures, il lustrating the losses of the Confederate armies during the war; Confederate forces actively engaged, 1861-5 Total deaths in C. S. A Losses of C. S. A., in prisoners, 18C1-5, which may be considered as total loss es, on account of the policy of non exchange by the United States Losses of C.

At the close of the war the available force of the Confederate States number ed scarcely 100,000 effective men. The resolution, unsurpassed bravery and skill with which the Confederate leaders conducted this contest is shown by the fact that out of 600,000 men in tire field about 500,000 were lost to the service. At the close of the war the 100,000 Confederates were opposed to one mil lion (1,000,000) Federal troops. Your approval or disapproval of this calculation is most respectfully solicit ed. The distinguished ability with which you discharged the responsible and ar duous duties of Adjutant General of the Confederate army qualifies you, above every other officer of the late Confed erate States, to decide how far such calculations may approach to accuracy.

A Novel Device for Saving Rusted Cot ton.—One of the effects of rust on cotton is to dry up the half grown bolls, and con tract and harden the shell or case which covers the lint. It rarely occurs that this outer covering is so much hardened and contracted as to prevent the boll from cracking or opening a little. 'This year, however, the rust has been so bad that these rusted boils do not crack. A Burke planter came to this city last week and purchased tweuty-three little hammers, one for each of bis pickers, and a gentleman front that neighborhood in forms us that a lively hammering of cotton bolls is going on there. The hammer is carried in a case hung at the picker’s side, aud when a hard boll is encountered, a smart tap forces the casing open, and the cotton is thus secured. As strange as this may appear, we are informed that this is literally true.— Chtonicle 4 Sentinel. er ; the former was as liberal in his views as the latter is close and grasping in bis calculations, and bis patriotism never reaches beyond his bonds or gold. The $2,500,000,000 in slaves were scat tered from Maryland to Texas, and among a people noted for liberal views, and bouud together by no “rings” that could be concentrated within twenty-four hours notice. It was not a positive money cens tre, nor could it be wielded unanimously for the accomplishment of a specific ob ject. Tbo very nature of the property forbid its centralization. Recognised as au institution by the Federal government, being a peculiar aud distinct property, it was ever sensitive to the attacks of its en emies, no matter from what motive. It was never aggressive, hut was always de fensive. Seuator Sprague and other men of like thinking, will wish and pray for that same slave-holding control that he much bated, before five years has passed over his head. The “slave oligarchy” will be pective companies, for the most lovely lady present. Tbe prize list will be altered somewhat, in order that each company may have one memento to its distinguished knight; then these experts of the companies will con tend for the championship of the State.

Three rides, of teu seconds each, to every man.

Suggestions as to changes in programme and orders for beautiful cavalry camps, as some of the companies will ride through for the fun, should be addressed to Secre tary Agricultural Association.

Editor Southern Recorder : I promised, while yon were here, to let you bear from me and to keep you posted as to events transpiring iu tbe “City by the Sea.” Since yonr return, but little has transpired that would interest you. hot as your many readers are probably uot posted in Brunswick affairs, I have con cluded to give them au account of tilings as they really exist in onr midst. First of all, we have a magnificent har bor with eighteen feet of water ou the out er bar at low tide. Oue foot more at lo* water than tbe bar at Savanuah at hif> water. Then we have tbe Macon & bruna- wick Railroad, which will be completed during tbo comiug month. Arrangement have been made with New York men to run a line of Steamers to New York soon as tbe road is completed. This of it self will mark a new era iu travel and tue transportation of freight in Georgia, lb- Macon. Sc Brunswick road extends to «■ point at some distance below tbe town and to tbe water’s edge. This will save dray age which, at the present, aggregates tbe neat little sum of $100,000 per annum, » cotton alone. Instead of this amount g°' ing to swell tbe pockets of the citizens the “Hub,” it will be saved to tbe pla«te r and other shippers. Then, insurauce i* less to Brunswick than to Savannah.
