TO OUR COUNTRY FRIENDS.
As much interest is felt throughout the country in
regard to the prospects of the cotton and other crops
we will be grateful to our planting friends and others
n the interior for information on that subject. Those
who have opportunities for obtaining valuable infor
mation in regard \& tl4e growing crops, the working
of the free-labor system, and kindred matters, of gen
eral interest, will confer a favor by communicating
the same to us.
JUDGE FLEMING'S DECLENSION.
We publish in another column a letter
from Hon. Wm. B. Fleming, declining to
serve as delegate from this Congressional
District in the Philadelphia Convention. We
regret very much, as will the friends of the
Convention in this Congressional District,
that Judge Fleming is unwilling to accept a
position which he is so eminently qualified
to fill. We cannot agree with him that in
entering the proposed Convention, under the
call of its movero, the*'delegates from the
South would be required to “repudiate" the
political principle^ in which they have been
educated, and for which they contended in
the late war.
In our opinion such of these principles as
affect living practical issues, may still ^be
consistently entertained by those who with
Judge Fleming “sympathise” with the great-
object of the Convention—‘ithe object of or*
gauizing a patty for the support of President
Johnson and his policy of reconstruction”’
There are questions on which the North and
South held different opinions in the days ol
the old party organizations, but which djd
not then prevent the cooperation of North
ern and Southern Whigs and Democrats ;
and since they have been practically settled
by the results of the war, we can see no
reason why the men of the South may not,
unite w ; th the conservative men of the
North of whatever party, in an effort to de
feat the Radicals and preserve the Constitu
tion which they seek to destroy. But we do
not desire now to discuss the question of the
propriety or expediency of Southern repre
sentation in the Philadelphia Convention
We will merely repeat what we have before
said. Wo can see no good to result from re-,
fusing to accept the invitation to be repre
sented in that body, while we have reason to
hope that much good may result from acom
pliance.
We repeat that we regret that the
First Congressional District will be deprived
of the services of a gentleman as delegate;
in whose prudence, wisdom and integrity the
hon or and the interests of the South may be
so safely confided.

Tliti currency Is getting to be an ini
ble annoyance. What with the number of
counterfeit:bills in citculation, and tbeir
filthy character,. this currency is fitly char
acterized a* an intolerable nuisance. The.
question naturally arises, is there no remedy?
We apprehend not,*while the entire mass or
volume continues greatly depreciated. Were
depreciation not-to exceed five or even
from seven to eight per cent., relief might
be found ifi raising the nominal so to exceed
the- real value as not to present an induce
ment to export a silver coinage, but when
the ‘ nomifial value orsllver,; or its value in
greenbacks s° far efceeds *s real value as
bullion, this Is unattainable. A few licts
with regard to the history of ouj coinage
would be instructive, as they appear to have
been forgotten, and they should be recounted
as a guide to our legislators, whenever they
see fit to restore the "Standard.
It is wellJtQown that our Government has
committed two opposite errors as relates to
our coinage. Having made both gold and 'but we might not enjoy this conviction i

THE ADJOURNMENT OF CONGRESS.
The adiournment of ho r h .Houses of the
National Legislature, which occurred on
Saturday la9t, 13 an eveut universally deemed
mo9t fortunate tor the interests of the coun
try. It is indeed a great boon to the entire
uation, but especially to the South, for it
cannot be denied that it has been but a neg
ative body from the commencement''to the
close of the session, vigilantly and even
recklessly thwarting the great purposes of
restoration as projected by the President,
and keeping alive elements of division
and animosity betwixt the sections whicli
otherwise had been allayed months ago.
Tue shameful fact will ever appear iu history
that notwithstanding the issue made with
the President there has emanated ftom Con
gress not a single legislative proposition whicli
may be dignified with the term policy. The
series of disgraceful measures proposed by
the dominant party in that body have all
come to nought, and nothing has been af
firmed by enactment but an'impracticable
constitutional amendment which the requi
site number of States is not expected to
ratify. Their great and distinctive measure,
the enfranchisement of the negro, upon
. which they rallied with so much unanimity
last winter, has signally failed ; and they
have admitted Tennessee without a single
pledge on that subject. It has been a mere
negative Congress animated by the spirit of
faction to perpetuate the disruption of the
States, and the base desire to prevent a re
union of the people as far as it was able.
By standiug so nobly and successfully be
tween the mass of the Southern" people and
the malicious purposes of sectional politicians
the President has entitled himself to the
warmest regards of those whom he has thus
protected; and it must be gratifying to him
to know that the people of the Southern
States are neither unmindfaLoi; nor ungrate
ful for, the favors thus accorded to' them,
although it is not to be' im|
one, placed in Mr. Johnson’s position, could
have failed to interpose more or less ener
getically to save the nation of which he is
the executive head from a course which
would have been a stain upon the civilization
of the nineteenth century, and entailed upon
the country a reproach that would have en
dured for years to come.
The proposition of Senator Trumbull to
interpose by some aort of legislation a
negative to the power of appointment and
removal by the President during the recess
of Congress, was not ac'ed upon. It was
doubtless considered impolitic to pass it,
even if they had the power, which is doubt
ful.
THE BANKRUPT BILL-
We regret to see that the bankrupt bill in
Congress has finally been postponed until
next December, the majority in each House
being too much engaged, we suppose, in tbeir
attacks upon the President to mature and
pass it. It is a standing reproach to the
United States that no general bankrupt law
exists in the United States. All of the en
lightened nations of Europe have laws of this
character which have been in existence for,
perhaps, more than a half century. At no
time in the history of this country has such a
measure been needed more than at the pre
sent writing, and particularly in the South,
where thousands have been reduced to hope
less poverty by the calamities of a desolating
war. If a financial burst up should occur
in this country, whicli is not improbable, it
will be owing, in part, to the omission, on the
part of Congress, to adopt A measure which is
alike recommended by justice, huzoapity,
and sound policy. ?.
The Cholera at Tybee.—The report from
the island to-day is of the most encouraging
character, showing, as it does, a rapid abate
ment of the cholera. There was but one
death yesterday and" n new cases. The e
are now under treatment eighty-four old
cases, and yesterday four of the convalescent,
were discharged from 'the hospital and re
turned to- duty.
We are gratified also to learn that the gene
ral health of the troops is improving.
silver a legal tender at the commencement of
legislation, there arose a necessity of adjust
ing their relative value, so that their mint or
standard should conform Ja their market
value. In 1792, when thejflPi of our coin
age were adopted, the value of silveras com
pared with gold was as lf» 1-2 to 1.00, or, iu
other words, one ounce of gold was of the
value in the markets of the world of fifteen
and one half ounces Of silver. Gold was,
therefore, undervalued as compared with sil
ver in our laws, and presented an induce
ment to its exportation for the sake of profit.
AVe consequently could not keep any gold in
circulation. As rapidly as it was r ined it
was exported. It is a well known law of
currency that the cheaper will banish the
dearer circulating medium. The coins were
.to be the eagle, the half eagle, and the quar
ter eagle in gold; the dollar, half dollar, quar
ter dollar, dime and half dime in silver ; the
.pent and half cent in copper. The weight of
th"e eagle was to be 270 grains Troy, alloyed
according to the English standard, one part
in twelve : and the dollar was to weigh 41G
grains, alloyed one part in nine and nine-
tenths.
This state of things continued until 1834.
From tiie organization of the mint five and a
half millions of dollars in gold pieces were
coined, and not one dollar remained in circu
lation. In that year Gen: Jackson was de
termined to restore our gold currency. What
was called the gold bill was enacted by Con
gress ; but that, body went to the opposite ex
treme'of their predecessors in 1792. They'
undervalued silver as they had previously un
dervalued (/old. The consequence was that
we lost all our silver coins. Instead of fix
ing in our laws the relative value of gold to
■silver as one to fifteen and one half, the then
market vatoe, they fixed it at one to sixteen.
There wa9 a distressing want of silver ebauge.
The weight of the eagle was reduced to 2, r >8
grains from 270, and the alloy increased to
one part in ten from one part in twelve. This
increased the legal valuation of gold C.;'8 per
cent, as compared with silver which remained
as before.
In 1853 very important alterations were
made in our silver coins. Up to that date
the law made both gold and silver a legal
tender. It was then determined to make
gold alone the legal tender except to the ex
tent of $5, and to reduce the weight of the
half dollar and their subdivisions so that their
nominal value should be considerably above
their real valpe as compared with the silver
dollar, and thus tbeir exportation be prevent
ed. Accordingly the weight of the half dol
lar was reduced from 206 1-4 grains to 192
grains, and proportionally of the smalle’"
coins, consequently the half dollars and
lesser coins were overvalued in our currency,
and a nominal dollars’ worth of them worth
7.42 per cent, less than a silver dollar. The
result of these measures has been to estab
lish gold as the real currency of the country,
and to make .silver entirely subsidiary to that.
The current value of the silver coin in the
currency is sufficiently above its market
price in bullion to prevent the exportation oi
the coins.
Now, it will be easily perceived how im-
practicable it would be, while the currency
clearly, coaid it be said that we had been in
vited to a conference of reconciliation and
refused to go, Jn*mere distrust that we should
not be well received.
The Finale op the Habeas Corpus Case—
Mysterious Removal of the Prisoners.—
The Charleston Courier, of Monday, says:
“The prisoners, Messrs. F. G.Stower9, Craw
ford Keyes, Robert Keyes, and Elisha By-
rem, who have been confined in Castle
Pinckney since their conviction by a military
commission, and for whom a writ of habeas
corpus was recently sued out by their coun
sel, Hon. Armistead Burt and General James
Conner, were on Saturday night carefully re
moved, ander guard, from theirplace of con
finement, and, it 19 believed, sent North be
yond the jurisdiction of the United States
District Court for South Carolina. We have
not been able tb learn-upon what authority,
pending the decision of the President in re
ference to the habeas corpus writ, the prisoners
have been thus removed. TbU mysterious
proceeding would certainly appear to ignorg
the fact ot the existence of a United States
Court in this State.
Letter from Hon. Wm. B. Fleming.
Savannah, July 31, 1866.
W. T. Thompson, Esq.—Dear Sir: Your note on be-
half of the Chatham county delegation to the Conven
tion held at Blactshear the 27th inst, informing me
that I had been unanimously elected by that Conven
tion to represent the First Congressional District in
the National Union Convention to be held in the city
uf Philadelphia on the 14th Angnst, and expressing
the hope that I would consent to serve my fellow-citi
zens in that Convention, is this moment received.
I might decline on the ground that I am on the eve
of leaving Savannah for the summer with my family,
and cannot very well alter my arrangements; but I
feel that it would be disingenuous to do so; for if that
were the only obstacle I would not hesitate to make
any sacrifice of personal convenience in order to serve
my fellow-citizens in any position to which they
might be pleased to call me. I must therefore give
the true reason of my declining. I have not the call
for the Philadelphia Convention before me, but ac
cording to my recollection, the principles of the party
about to be formed, as indicsted by the, terms in
which the Convention has been called, are, many of
them, such ss I can never subscribe to. In onr pres-
eat condition I doubt the policy of amalgamating with
any national party, and least of aU with a party that
requires, as a condition precedent to our admission to
its ranks, that we should repudiate the political prin
ciples in which we were born and educated, and in sup
port of which we waged a long and bloody war. That
we failed is no evidence that we were wrong. It is no,
the first time that might has overcome right. For
these reasons, I must decline the very flattering honor
e .inferred-upon me. I am sorry that I did not know
of your intentions in time to prevent my election.
Permit me, in conclusion, to say that with one ob
ject of the Convention I deeply sympathize—the object
of organizing a party for the support of President
Johnson and his policy of reconstruction, and hope
that the anticipations of the friends of the Convention
in this respect may be realized. *,
Respectfully, Ac.,
W. B. Fleming.

CONVENTION OF THE SEVENTH CON

The Convention of the Seventh Congres

that District in the Philadelphia Convention,

James Milner, of Bartow county. The fol

Radical Inconsistency.—It is stated lhat
that any Tennessee members of Congress are to
drew their pay from the commencement of
the session. Why fa If Tennessee
was not a State in the Union until her Legis
lature passed the joint resolution to amend
the Constitution, certamly she had no right
to representation in Congress prior to that
time, according to the Radical theory, and
if not, why should these men be paid for
s crvices never rendered, and which they had
no right to perform? Was ever inconsisten
cy more strikingly illustrated than in this re
markable instance of self-stultification.
Very Severe on Stanton.—The New York
Herald says: “Every once in a while we hear
that Secretary Stanton is going to leave the
Cabinet, or is not going to leave the Cabinet,
as the wind may happen to blow. The latest
news is that he has become a convert to the
Philadelphia Convention, and will retain his
portfolio. This is about the worst thing that
we have learned about the Convention ; but
still so ‘long as t^e ■ lamp holds au to burn
the vilest sinner may return,’ We would like
to be informed, however, why Secretary Stan-
ton clings to his'office withfmeh persistency,
sacrificing for it not on ly his avowed political
opinions, but his self-respect. What is there
in the War Department that he is so anxious
to conceal? Clearly, an investigation would
not be out of place in view of the strange con
duct of the Secretary. Where are the detec
tives ?

1HE ATTENTION OF COTTON PLANTERS IS
T ]
Invited to the claims of this invention, which, in
SIMPLICITY. ECONOMY, DURABILITY and POW
ER, surpasses any machine for Baling Cotton ever
before presented to the country. Its great excel
lence In these respects makes it
THE BEST MACHINE
FOR PACKING COTTON
IN THE WORLD!
1. ITS SIMPLICITY.—It Isa new and improved
application of the Screw power; just nnsimple in its
construction as the old fashioned wooden screw, as
easily managed, and no more liable to get ont of or
der. No ropes or pnllies as used in the cotton
presses.
2. ITS ECONOMY.—It has been demonstrated by
aotual experiment to be cheaper than the wooden
screw. The timbers need in Its construction are
much smaller and fewer than those employed In the
old mew; the levers being only 16 feet long, and the
height of the whole frame above the bed being only
10 feet. AU these timbers can be procured on the
plantation, no matter how exhausted tue forest. Any
ordinary wood workman can bmld the frame, and
hall a dozen hands will pnt it np in a few hoars.
3. ITS DURABILITY.—The fccrew and Nut are of
Iron, and will last for years without any appreciable
wear. The whole machine occupies so little space
that it ran be completely covered at very small cost.
4. 1T3 POWER.—With a lever only sixteen feet
long, one mule is sufficient for packing the heaviest
bales. Plsntsfbwbo have used it say that, with two
mules, cotton may be compressed on this machine
for shipment.
This Screw was invented Jnst before the opening of
the war, and has subsequently never been very gen
erally introduced. Those who have need It and seen
it csed, unanimously concur In the pptaion that it is
USKiVALLEJ* AS A COTTON SCREW.
The following testimonials from some of the best
mutable
and must reputable planters in the country show the
estimate in which this Screw stands with those who
have tried it:
We have used and seen In operation for the last
five years, Wright’s Imf .oved Cotton Iron Screw,
and feel no hesitation in pronouncing It the very best
Cotton Screw we have ever known. So highly do
we esteem it, that, if practicable to obtain one of
them, we would have no other. It is easily ba it,
simple in its construction, not liable to get ont of
order, packs well, with great power and with great
facility.

SEWING MACHINES!.
WE, HAYING been appointed General Agents for
Georgia and Florida, are new ptepered to exhibit
every etyle of the above Machines. See circular
below.
Circular.
We claim for the Flounce the following advan
tages over any and all Sewing Machines:
r* It makes four different stitches, the lock, knot,
doable lock, and doable knot, on one and the same
machine. Each stitch being alike on both sidea of
thefbbric.
r Every Machine has the reversible feed motion,
which .enables the operator, by simply turning n
thumb screw, to have the work ran either to the
right or left, to stay any part of the seam, or fasten
the ends of seams, without turning the fabric.
r The only Machine having n self-adjusting
shuttle tension—the amount of teuton always being
in exact proportion to the susof"&e bobbin.
r Changing the length ot stitch, and from one
kind of stitch to another, can readily be done while
the Machine tain motion.
f The needle Is easily adjusted.
It is almost notselew, and can be used where
qniet is necessary.
rits motions are all positive; there are no
spring* to get ont of order, and lu simplicity enables
the most inexperienced to operate It.
Iff It does not require liner thread on the under
than for the upper side, and will sew across the
heaviest seams, or from one to more thicknesses of
doth, without change of needle, tension, or break-
lag thread.
The Hemmefla easily adjusted and will torn
any width of hem desired.
W~ No other Machine will do so great a range ot
work aa the Florence.
r It will hem, fell, bifid, gath&rinatd, qoDt.
and gather and aew on n ruffle at the tame time.
The taking np of th* alack thread is not performed
by the irregular contraction of • wire coll or uncer
tain operation of wire levers. The precision and ac
curacy with which the Florence draws the thread
Into the cloth is unapproached u> any Sewing Ma
chine hitherto offered in the market.
We rnrnUh each Machine with “Barnnm’s Self
jwer,” which guidea th* work Itsail, and la of in
calculable value, eapadaUy to Inaxparianead opera-
tore.
rit Is rally protected and Ucaaaed by Elia*
Howe, Jr., and bis tsaodnlu, and ear own Letter*
Patent.
While possessing the above, and many other ad
vantage*, the Florence ia aold at correspond!ag prices
with other flat clam Machines, and a careftri examl
nation will fully snbatantiate all that wa have claimed
for it, and Justify the amertlon we now make, that
U la th* best Sewing Machine in th* worM.
Ws warrant every Machine to be a) 1 that we elaim
for It, and will gfta a written warranty if required.
