Newspaper Page TextThe Great Staple of the South. THE OPERATIVES OF GREAT BRITAIN. The importance of Cotton to Great Britain ca n scarcely be over-estimated, says the N. A. farmer. A failure of the crop in this country, would prove a fearful calamity to thousands and tens of thousands of human beings on the other side of the Atlantic. No two countries on the face of the Globe have so deep an interest in each other, or thoroughly together in a commercial or business point of view. A few facts will render this quite appparent. In Lan cashire, no less than tico millions of souls are dependent, directly or indirectly, upon the cot ton trade and manufacture. In Yorkshire, one million four hundred, thousand. In Lanarkshire, fire hundred thousand or about/our millions of souls in the three districts! The reader will thus at once perceive the immense influence which cotton may be said to exercise upon the destinies ofa large portion of the humanjfamily The failure of the potato crop is a fearful disas ter for Ireland, as has recently been illustrated. Cut potatoes are grown in various parts of the earth, and many articles can be used as a sub stitute. The failure of the wheat crop in Eng land is also a serious disaster; but wheat also is grown in abundance in all regions of temperate latitude, and thus the deficiency in great Britain is speedily supplied. It is not so with cotton There is no known substitute, while the great hulk of this staple by the million of operatives to whom we have just alluded, is the produc tion of the Southern States of this Union. We have already seen the rapid increase of con sumption compared with the production, which had a tendency to advance the rates to an enor mousextent. If this increase should continue, and if in some future year the crop should fail wholy or a very serious extent, the efTect upon the manufacturing districts of Great Britain, would be truly distressing. Under these circum stances, vve cannot wonder at the efforts of the statesmen and philanthropists of England to dis cover some new cotton growing region that might he resorted to, in the event of a difficvlty with this country, or the failure of our crop.— A correspondent of the Washington Union allu ding to this important subject holds the an- nexed language : “This state of affairs has become perilous.— The increase in capital and the improvements in machinery have brought England to a position in which vve see she can work up more cotton than is grown and produce more cloth than is wanted. The multiplication of manu factures in the United States and Europe, is con. stant/y narrowing her markets; and while her ability to manufacture is greater than ever, there is less demand for her services. In this position the supply of cotton threatens to be less than is actually but a small proportion of what she requires to maintain her home trade. The exports of cotton from the United States fir several years, from September 1 to March 10, have been as follows; To 1848. 1840. 1850. Great Britain, 456,075 761,769 403,783 France, 220,433 168,380 170,61!) North of Europe 71,616 77,807 37,737 Other For. ports, 97,061 74,680 40,452 Total Exports, 845,186 1,102,636 757,591 l'. 8. consump. 280,620 317,320 368,281 Thus, the whole amount exported and consu med at the high prices that have ruled since September, England has taken but 45 per cent, against 55 per cent, last year. A considerable proportion of the demand which now exists in England arises from short time, reluctantly adop ted by the spinners as a means which has often before succeeded in breaking a speculative mar. ket; but a large proportion is doubtless ow ing to the fact of thoir changing from coarse to fine yarns—an operation which reduces the quantity of cotton required to keep a certain number of spindles in operation fully 30 per cent. The ef fect of this is, however, to enhance the supply of fine goods, and to throw up entirely the com petition with western Europe and the United States in the production of coarse goods and yarns, lienee we find that while the English production of coarse goods is less, the Freuch and United States manufacture take more cot ton than ever. The amount in the table taken by the latter is only that after Atlantic spinners bought at the ports, and does not embrace the increasing quantities wrought up in the interior The result may be an over-supply of fine goods and a scarcity of coarse. While Lancashire has been holding hack in the hope that the crop "ill be 2,400,000 hales, and therefore enable them to break down prices, New England has been pressing its production in the faith that the crop will not reach 2,100,000 bales, and that prices will rather rise than fall. It is now evi dent however, that under the most favorablecir cutnstanccs, the high figure can scarcely be reached. Trade ok Great Britain.— The export trade of Great Britain has greatly decreased during the last quarter, in amount, but has increased in value—the net increase being j£279,910 r (nearly •?1,999,550.) There has been a great decrease m the export of cotton goods, hut in fine goods of mixed fabrics, the increase has been evident. The linen trade is the most profitable. There "’as an increase of exports for the last quarter of 110 per cent. The woolen trade of England and the linen trade of Ireland appear to be well sus. tamed at the present time, but the cotton trade is iri a poor condition. Gamphine Lamps.— Afire occurred Inst week m New Orleans from the bursting of a camphine bvinp, which distroyed three brick buildings.— Ibe accounts state that so rapidly did the fire R l>rcnd, a man and woman in one of the upper stories could not descend the stairs before their retreat was cut off. The man leaped from the second story window, and though for a moment be saved his life, it is feared that a fracture in the s mil, which he received as he fell on the side vv aI k, will prove fatal. The woman perished "i the (I.ones before assistance could be render 'd her, and it is feared two young children that are missing shared the same fate. tm.iverpool dates to the lstinst. have been received, shewing an advance in cotton of |d. air Orleans 73d. 67,000 hales sold, 20,000 o f ''■■ii-h were taken by speculators. Home I ruths. —Dr. Bethune, at the anniver sary of the “Female Prison Discipline Society,” lately held in New York, said : “Whenjhe look ed upon the poor, and witnessed the hardships and privations to which they were subject, his only wonder was, that there was not more crime. Tiie respectable man, surrounded by his luxu ries and his comforts, had no inducement tocorn mit crime,” &c. All who study human nature and observe the incidents of life concur in this opinion, that the basis of popular virtue is phy sical comfort, and that the more prosperity a people enjoy the less prone are they to vicious indulgence and criminal excess. Hence the origin of societies to make some provision for emancipated felons, when thrown back into life from the solitude of their cells, to prevent want from driving them to a repetition of crime Lven the work ofthe religious missionary proves an abortion, unless preceded by some measures to secure the physical comfort ofthe convert. In crowded cities, a visit to the haunts of vice is but a visit to the last refuge of poverty, and whether vice has led to poverty which has been the mother of vice,one thing is indisputable,that neither can be cured without the preliminary of physical comfort. Ofthe thousands whose hearts throb with no passion but the enviable ambition to do good, none will shrink from the performance of this “home” duty, who reflect that it will bring a harvest of blessings, order, quiet and social security, under their own eyes among their neighbors, who have a claim to kindness; and their own countrymen, who ca n except no missions from abroad, to bring them light, succor, or comfort. How the poor are made who makes them—or what made them,is not a question with the true Christian philanthropist who aims to produce practical reforms from a vi cious course of life, or to restore the reign of law and order to riotous cities desolated by mob outrages. The first element of a prosperous city is health—this implies cleanliness, which im plies industry, physical comfort and a busy pop ulation. There is work enough in those ob jects, and ofsufficient moment, for the exercise of all the philanthropy that ever undertook to benefit society. Opening of the Mummy.— We learn from the Boston Transcript that the Egyptian Mum. my imported by Air. Guddon, was partially opened at the Trcmont Temple in that city, on the 3d inst. The case of sycamore wood, orna mented with hieroglyphics, was placed horizon tally upon a stand ; and while Mr. Gciduon dis coursed upon the Nile and the pyramids of Giza and the receptacles where the mummies were found, an officiating carpenter, with a small saw proceeded to cut the case lengthwise. After this had been done on two sides, an operation which required about halfan hour, it was ready to be taken apart for the disclosure of what it might contain. This was done by Mr. Gi.iddon and his assistant, in view of the whole audience The mummy came out in beautiful condition, as if it had been deposited in its case hut a day be fore, instead of fifteen hundred years before the birth of Christ. It came out swathed out in lin en, smooth and hut slightly discolored by the lapse oftime. On the front covering wore a series of hieroglyphics ofa fresh color, as distinct as if they had been just painted. A burst of ap plause, and a murmur of surprise from the audi ence shewed the sensation which the exhibition produced. As the lady thus brought before the public, was, according to the inscriptions on her sarco phagus, a person of rank, and the daughter of a high priest, it was naturally expected that the interior of the case, which was in a wonderful state of preservation, would reveal some orna. ments, jewellery, trinkets, Ac. of value. On the sth inst. the interior foldings were opened, when the body was found surmounted by a wing ed beetle holding the Creator Sun. Below it was a sign, which was a musical instrument, and a sign for the word priestess. On one side was the god of science, and behind it the West ; tiie symbol on the other side Mr. G. could not find out. Below was the emblem of eternity. On either side were the wives of Osiris the god of the dead, symbols of justice and corruption.— Below were the words, “Dedicated to Osiris, the god of the house ofthe living and the dead.” Below was, “The Syrian, or the deceased, be loved of the god of the Western Heavens, Got Thotii, — ANCII-pli.” which means eternal life- The body was 5 feet 4 inches high and had been plunged in boiling bitumen, which had reduced it to a crisp. The body was placed in a glass case to ho viewed by the ladies and gentlemen present. I. O. O. F.—The 11. VV. Grand Lodge of this State commenced its annual session in Savannah on sth and closed on the 6th inst. Twenty three Lodges were represented. Charters were granted for five new Lodges, and a good deal of business of interest to the Order was transact ed. The Officers elected and installed for the ensuing year, are -. E. It. Rogers, of Augusta, M VV. G M Augustus Merritt, of Gjiflin, R VV. D.G. M- E. 11. VV. Hunter, of Louisville, K VV G. M Geo. VV. Patten, of Macon, R VV. G. S. J M. Bivins, of Macon, R VV. G. T. M. Woodruff', of Columbus, R. VV. G. Rep, The Grand Master appointed : E. C. Grannis, of Macon, VV. G. Marshal. J. A. Knight, of Macon, VV. G. Conductor. C. VV. Key, of Madison, VV. G. Chaplain. It is expected that the next session will be held at Macon, if the Grand Lodge of tho Uni ted States shall consent. An act was passed by tho last Legislature of this State, authorizing the removal and incorporating the Grand Lodge of this State. Mohf. Factories. —Tho Atlanta (Ga.) In telligencer says: “Wc understand that the Manufacturing Company at Roswell, in Cobb county has recently laid the foundation ofa new factory near the site of the one now in operation. The new factory is to run 5000 spindles and the building materials arc nearly, all in rea diness.” “Wo learn also that Gov. McDonald has just completed anew factory iti Campbell coun ty to run 5000 spindles. Thus the work goes on bravely.” Charcoal Melted. —The possibility of melt, ing charcoal has at length been satisfactorily proved by the experiments of M. Desprctz, of Paris. L T p to the present time, chemists have considered this an impossibility; M.Despretz, however, not only melts this refractory sub stance, but solder one piece to another, and ev en volatilizes it. The heat to effect this pur pose is generated by a powerful galvanic battery; the light and heat evolved is so great that, even in approaching it, only for an instant, there is danger of violent headacke and pain intheeyes. To avoid this the operator conducts his experi ments under the shade of a thick bine glas.— Platinum clippings, and other metals difficult to fuse, are readily converted into a solid mass.— This will prove of great service in the arts, and we hope that he will be able to make diamonds so as to destroy all the attributable value of these beauties.— Scientific American. It may be that charcoal has been melted by M. Despretz, as the Scientific American announ ces. Its hitherto presumed non-fusibility goes for nothing, for many things that have been con sidered as iinposibilitics, have been found, and will be found, not so to be. It docs not follow though, by any means, that because charcoal be melted and because diamonds are pure carbon that they will ever pc manufacturad artificially by chemical appliances, or by any other. This can only be done, as we conceive, by “nature's cunning hand,” and we would just as soon ex pect to hear of the artificial formation of gold t so often tried, and so often a failuere, as of dia monds. Charcoal can be volatilized, it seems. So can diamonds be have been; but to des troy isone thing, to create is another. A miser able insect can destroy a beautiful flower,hut all the resources of art, and all the efforts of the world united, could not produce one, without the assistance of nature. Diamonds may not be of Vulcanian origin —that is, produced by the agency of fire, and if not, ii may requare thou sands or hundreds of thousands of years for their formation. We suppose the process to be very slow. It was said thirty years ago, we recollect, that Dr. Hare, of Philadelphia, had succeeded in melting charcoal, and in manufacturing diamons. We do not know that he ever said so. We do not think he did, but others did for him, and it was pretended that soon diamonds would be of but little more value than glass. They still however, maintain their preeminence, and will do so for some time to come, we imagine, un less the Socialists should get the upperhand.— If they do, and carry out their theory, then dia monds all precious stones,will cease to have any value, as everything will then be estimated by its utility ; and as they arc of no real uso, they will ho of no more account under the social system than bits of glass, or than pebbles. We should like to know what became of Dr. Hare’s discovery—that charcoal was fusiblo.— Did ho succeed in melting it or not? If he did, then the American was long in advance of the European discoverer. And the diamonds that he made—where are they ? The story was, we think, that he, too, had volatilized charcoal,and and that the residium was a substance indenti cal with the diamond, or analogous to it. Can theScientifie American give us any information.' Washington Globe. Mr. Paine’s Light.— The Boston city gov. eminent have passed an order to inquire into the subject of the new gas, claimed to have been invented by llenry M. Paine, for the production of light, and also to ascertain the practicability of its being introduced into Boston for lighting the streets. Tight Breeches and Tobacco— The num ber on the sick list at West Point last year cans, ed some investigations to be made, and the sur. geon represents the causes to be the inordinate quantity of tobacco used by them, and the prac tice of wearing pantaloons so tight around the waist as to interfere with digestion and cause many unpleasant symptoms. He recommends that the cadets be required to take a full respira tion before being measured around the waist by their tailors. Georgians abroad. —A San Francisco Cor. respondent ofthe Rome Southerner under date of 20th April, says ; * Cos). John H. Watson, from Muscogee county, Ga., has been elected one of the Circuit Judges; he had just resigned liis seat as a member of the lower House of Representatives. Col. F. H. Sanford, ofGcorgia, is also elected one of the Judges. Among many old acquaintances I found hero Col. S. R. Bonner, well known in many portions of your State. Rev. Dr. Boringand fami ly haw just arrived herein the steamer Ten nessee—all in good health. The Prisoners —The N. O. Delta says,The view maintained by this paper, in regard to the right ofthe Spanish Government to punish the prisoners taken, on board of the Georgiana, and Susan Loud, on their return to this port, appears now to ho generally acquiesced in by other journals and the people. The Picayune of yes terday uses the following strong language on this subject ; “If the lives of the prisoners of the Georgiana and the Susan Loud he taken by the Governor- Genera! of Cuba, no atonement short of the utter subjugation of the island, and the extirpation of the Spanish dominion there, will ever satisfy the people of the United States.” Gen. Lopez. —Gen. Lopez ; says the Mobile Herald, has an exceedingly prepossessing ap pearance. He is appearantly about fifty years of age —his figure is compact and well set. His face, which is dark olive and ofthe Spanish cast, is strikingly handsome, expressive of both inteligcncc and energy. Ilis full dark eyes, firm, well-formed mouth, and erect head, crown, ed with iron gray hair, fixes the attention, aad convince you that he is no ordinary man. Un less wc are greatly mistaken in the inpression wo have formed of him, he will again be heard of in some new attempt to revolutionize Cuba, j lie certainly does not look like a man easily dis heartened . [for the southern tribune.] Friend “Quip,” jq the last “Journal Sc Mes senger, seems to be quite indiguant towards some of our citizens, who arc silly enough to think they “can manage their own business.” 1 bus it is, ever, with men when they become dissatisfied with themselves, they are sure to fall out with their neighbors and abuse them. I never knew a censorious man,who was not him self more obnoxious to censure, than those a gainst whom his raileries v» ere directed. Still, I don t think “Quip’s” a hopeless case, and 1 doubt not, I can satisfy him that some folks are much more “'-entitled to the contempt and exe cration ’ of wise and good men, than those who try to “manage their own business.” In the first place, I would designnte those who never have any business of their own to manage, and are always intermeddling with other people’s. Next, those who are too indo lent to apply themselves to any regular business, and are continually starling some new projects for others to carry out in order that they may make either notoriety or “ employment”for them selves. Then those, who spend their lives in loafing ibout the streets and have no dependence but to sponge on the community for a living. Then tiose who are always prating about the wants ofthe poor, but leave others to provide for them. Then comes anolherclass of worthies, of whom it is next to defilement to speak, I mean those small beer politicians, who figure at court yards and bar-rooms and public meetings, who make loud professions of attachment to the people, but when it comes to the scratch, are ready to trade off the rights of the people for selfish considerations. And lastly, those who from* long course of mismanagement and ne glect of their business, get into such desperate straights, thatthey scruple notto sell their “birth right for a moss of pottage.” Now I appeal to “Quip” to say if such char acters as those I have designated are not “enti tled to the contempt and execration” of good men, much more than those, who in a quiet and unpresuming way, strive to manage their own business ? If he is still in doubt, I think I can furnish him with some other samples, that will settle the question beyond all controversy. ZIP. In this city, on the morning of the 10th inst. by the Rev. VV.
