    The 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.

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.
