mkmm f |e gailg Hiltjrail! & Restoration of Southern Prosperity. We find the following scheme set forth in a Baltimore paper: In the absence of capital at the South, some such step should be taken, and, if carried out in good faith, we can see much good to result Capital must come to the aid of labor, else ire shall fail in all our offorta to restore the prosperity of the Socth. We are without money, and labor must be supported—must be fed and clothed—until it can produce means of standing alone; Plan von the Deyelopemext ov the Is- dcstkiae Resources of the South.—A proposition is before us for the establishment of a joint stock company, with a capital of $.>,000,000, to lie used for the development of the industrial resources of the Southern States. The scheme is ambitious, and though but imperfectly developed in the communica tion received, has in it the germs of a large, useful and powerful organization. The capi tal is to l>e raised in Baltimore and in North ern cities which are large centres of trade. It is to be loaned to planters and landowners in the South, and is to be secured by mort gage on property, the cash valuation of which is to !>e at least Ally per cent, over the amount advanced. For this the mortgager is to pay interest at the legal rates, but, in ad dition, he is to bind himself to consign the products of his estate to agents of the com pany, at some specified point. . These agents are to l^cstablislied in every principal market. They are to be merchants of character ant^ capacity. They are to sell the produce received to the best advantage, and they arc to purchase all material, agricul tural implements and stock at cheapest rates, and they are to charge the. lowest ' commissions. The company, in fact, is to Itccome a huge factor, and, with its int- mese capital, is to compete with the com mercial houses in every town on the seaboard, who are now straining every nerve to draw to thoinsclves tlie business of the South. Its originators, however, are sanguine of suc cess. They entertain the belief that capital can I* turned over at least ten times a year, and that if a commission of two and a lmlf per cent lie earned, both on sales and pur chases, a nett profit of fifty per cent will be paid to the stockholders, the interest received being more than sufficient to pay all expenses. Once firmly established, with a rapidly in creasing capital, the wealth of the company is to l>c devoted to the development of the resources of the Southern States, to the im- nroyenient of navigation, and tp furthering \yorks of improvement- In n word, tiic asso ciation, which, in the beginning, is to bo (le vel t« l simply to trade, is, as it gains strength ftnd power, tp perform gll the functions of a grand credit mdhiller,—Baltimore G/actte, Non. 34M, Taxes (from the South. The Philadelphia North American says i '■ Bkoisning to Pay.—Advices frow Wash ington say tlmt the United States Treasury Department has received as payment of the direct tax, under the act of 18C1, tlie follow ing sums from the States named : Tennessee, $170,000 | S. Carolina, $234,75fi Virginia, - 171,426 | Florida, ■ 43,507 Arkansas. - fig.jfia | Louisiana - 88,203 : 4 Total, $744,051 It thus appears that the reconstructed Suites are beginning to show us some substan tial proofs of the loyalty to the national Union by paying their taxes in support of the ex- peners of the government. Tlie above sums were, we presume, paid by the reorganized fitate governments, as was the case in the loy al States with the direct Ax of 1861. In the collection of the internal revenues under the liws passed since 1861, the amounts realized have not been reported, but are substantial. It may be urged in receiving the above men tioned sums from tbe reorganized State gov ernments, the President and Cabinet have for mally acknowledged the validity oftlic State organizations, but more so than was done by a thousand other acts in pursuance of the plan of reorganization. It must also be liornc in mind that these governments exist solely by tlie initiation of tlio President’s prwVmiatipni, ipid are to that extent silflicienily regular to enable them to pay money into the Treasury. WnAT we aiie to Expect.—The Millodge- ville correspondent of the Savannah Herald, who seems to have had a peep behind the scenes, dipatches as follows to that journal: I am informed that no pardons are likely to come to Georgians, but some already granted may be revoked, while the people continue to elect to office army officers and others so recently in arms against the gov ernment. IJone but loyal men can l>o accepted as representatives in congress, and the State must remain out of the Union and under military rule until the people accept the con ditions of the president’s plan of reconstruc- ' tion. All elections of members of congress from * the State are likely to be declared null and viod. .—■■■hi' -■ ■ E. M. BRUCE & GO., SlNT.UI.AR TehMIJCATIOX OP A LAWSUIT.— On Friday a novel case was tried in the dis trict court at Philadelphia. The plaintiff, John Conner, brought asgft agaiP.4 M Hev, V{m. Barnes, a well known and cateeajed clergyman of that city. The action was to recover* penalty of£50 for marrying a minor .laughter of the plaintiff without the consent of the parents, and without publication of the banns of marriage, in accordance with the terms of an old act of assembly of this commonwealth, passed in the year 1701. Af ter hearing the evidence the jury retired to deliberate, and remained out all night, un able to agree. On the opening of the court on Satunlay, the melancholy fact was nouuced by the judge, in discharging the jury, that the defendant, the Rev. X(r. Barnes, vyho was advanced jn age, had <!lpd r* few hours after leaving tlie court house. The cause of his death was stated to l>c over ex citement consequent on the trial. The Modus Explained.—A suit lias l>ecn instituted against the city of Boston, by a 'Mr. Burn 11, who was appointed recruiting officer for that city during tbe war. He claims to have been instrumental in getting Congress to pas- a bur whereby seven t! on- sand seamen, styled naval recruits, were cred ited to the quota of the city of Boston, and that he is entitled for his services to the usual bounty of one handled and twenty-five dol lara for each man, making, in the aggregate, some eight hundred thousand dollars. , The fm®*l aefVTce dt Tames R. Crew', Esq, of Atlanta, took place on Sabbath last, and a very beautiful and appropriate discourse was delivered t( the Central Presbyterian Church by Rev. it. Q. Mallard. The proclamation restoring the privil ege of the writ of haocat corpui in all the States and Territories not embraced in the lata insurrectionary districts, has been finally issded by the President. This puts an end to all military trials in the States now free. Among the current 'Washington on dits, is the statement that Gen. Butler has prepared a legal argument, showing how Jcfierson Davis and General Robert E. Lee can be tried by a military tribunal. Rev. W. J. Scott, Editor of Scott's Month ly Magazine, wishes attention again called to the fact that the time for receiving MSS. which Care intended to compete for the prizes offered l>y him has been extended to the, 1st of June, I860. The prizes it will be recollected are $200, lor the 1 best story, $100 for the best essay, and $50 for the best poem. Editors will confer a favor on Mr. Scott by extending this notice as much as possible. To the New York Neva of the 1st., we are indebted for the following item: “Dispatches from Washington affirms very confidently that Mr. Jefferson Davis will not be tried by a military commission. Out of ten thousand freed negros, taken down the Cape Fear river to Washington last March, by General Sherman, two thousand died from the 17th of March to the 31st of May, for want of proper attention and care, exercised by themselves and others. . The ex-Emperor Soulonque, late of Hayl lias been expelled from Jamaica, where 1 has lieen adjourning for some time, by dire tion of the British government. The infer ence is that he was slightly mixed up with the recent rebellion in that island. A number of Iftdians.in canoes passed down the Missouri river, opposite Lexington, last week. They are going to Washington to sec tho President, and prefer canoes to steam boats as modes of traveling. The Indiana House of Representatives pass ed a resolution inquiring into the expediency of licensing locomotive engineers, making them all pass examination ns to qualifications and moral character. The documents collected by tlie “ Bureau of Rebel Archives” at Washington nre pro nounced by tho N. Y. Nation a mass of worth ies* rqhbiafy . t The Stonewall and the -^iantonomah. —The Washington correspondent of the Bal timore Sun thus describes those two formida- bld vessels: < I happened to bo at the navy yard yester day when the Stonewall came np from tlie point below, where she Intel been laying for a day or two back. In seeing her “bow on,” one is reminded of pictures m old historic works of the Roman or Atflmian galleys. Slip is built broad and high in front, so as to ?iTC the necessary strength to tho ram, which s eight feet under the surface, and some 8.0 ■ t long. There was on Saturday » distin- islicd party on board, Including Vice-Ad mfral Farragjit and Rear-Admiral Dalilgrcu, together, I hear-, with members of the naval co|lrt that have to decide in the case of Com modore Crayen. Tlie commodore himself was on board with liis counsel. Secretary Seward was also present. The general im passion was, as I understand from a good source, that Craven was fortunate U» not ac cepting tlie cVallenge of (lie commander ffj the Stonewall to fight the Niag ara. The Utter Is a wooden ves sel, of not great speed nor calibre of gqns, while the Stonewall, with her speed, ram and smperior calibre of guns, would doubtless have destroyed the former. Com modore Craven probably showed true cour age by declining the challenge to fight. The Stonewall is propelled by two screws, and amidships her sides are roof-shape, but not so much so probably as to turn materially a pro- jeitile from a nine or eleven-inch gun. There isjno doubt in the minds of naval men that the fiftcen-incli Dahlgreen guns of some of our monitors would pierce, tho armor of the Stonewall (four inches in thickness) through and through, Four guns of this class are in) hoard the Miantonomali, a double-turrct- cd ship of the monitor class, now at the nary yard here. She is the most perfect and the iiiost formidable vessel in onr service, or pro bably in any other. Her speed is about ten miles an hour. Her armoris five inches thick, of iron, which is backed by iron brace work that is a couple of inches in thickness. Be hind this is a great breath of wood-work, against which are the great iron arms which support the deck. ;The Rohan Catholic Cnuijcg the United States.— Jt is stated that there are gQW 4,000,006 Homan Catholics in the United (dates. In 1808 there was 1 province, 1 dio- oeset, 3 bishops, 83 priests, 80 churches, and 2 ecclesiastical institutions; 1801, 7 provinces, 48 dioceses, 3 vicarates, 33 bishops, 2,317 priests, 2.517 churches, 1,278 stations and chapels, and 40 ecclesiastical institutions. In addition to this, they have 102 orphan asy lums, where about 7,000 orphans arc educa ted; 100 benevolent and charitable societies; 28.hospitals; 07 library institutes for young men; 212 female academies and 303 free schools for 27,930 males; and 327 schools for 29,671 females, Negi'.o Testimony .in Alabama.—The fol lowing bill has been introduced in the Ala banuxLegcilatare: Sec. i.

Theaaother of aKttle one who was about taking a ride in the Hartford horse cars, asked him as he scrambled in - “Why, ain't von going fa kiss your mother before you go C The little rouge was in such a hur ry that he couldn’t stop,' and hastily called out: “Conductor wen t you kiss mother for me?’ |3?“ Lucy Cobb, the famous pardon bro ker, is said to l>c quite attractive in personal appearance, a slight, graceful figure, lustrous black eyes, and raven hair, disposed in most luxuriant and elaborate style of frizzle known to modem fashion. ‘ * • ' ~ J BANKERS AND COTTON FACTORS, AUGUSTA, GEORGIA.
