An Arnv Offlerr t Oplsinn. We cal! attention to an article in this week’s Banner, from the pen ofCupt. lie ; Finest, ot the foiled States Army.—> | While we do not accuse the gallant Cap-; tain of wilful exaggeration, treyet must enter a protest as to part of his article; that part which would leave the impres*. sioti upon the minds of his reader,#) that . the Southern peop'e are, all ol them, the! admirers us rakes, gay Lotharios ant debauchees. The Captain falls into the error, too common among the Northern people, of i be!U.vi.ng that because we of the South ; are the descendants of the gay and daslr inrfi'ftvalh ra that we mnsf necess r y be all like Prince Rupert's rake helly troop-j ers, or like the plumed, booted, cloaked, j gambling, dicing soldiers of the army ol the king ; now, while we admire the cutties of the Cavaliers, we do not hesi tate to condemn tlieir vices, any mere than die sternest Ihiritan that ever kiss ed Plymouth Itock, or defended the burn ing of witches by Ci (ton Mather ; or, w l ipped and brand**! (junkets; or, ban ished Baptists and other sects, and then ascribed it nil to the dory ot Cod 1 Mat,hood, in its lurgest, strongest sense, has been always the pride of the Southern people; not manhood in the bullying sense, but in tliu sense of a large, warm hearted vitality; in a man !y, upright set in of nil things mean, lit tie utnl contemptible ; in a knightly rev erence and love lor woman ; in a good nsine above ell things else; in our be lied that dishonor is worse than death ; nmi, Inst'y, that white we do not believe iit "Besting" as the ''Hub”of the world, we vet have b ft among us, tt-neb old fashioned virtues us Faith, Hope and Charity ; and, wo also, let If. VV. Beech er say what he will, we believe in God 1 What Mr. Do Forest says of the re finement, the coiftesy, and the high toned politeness of our gentlemen for what he writes here we thank him. Fa'vd dm tre ah haste. .Some of our own people wliou writing of the South might, learn a less On from this army , ffie.ev wo might learn that in the South arc to bo found gentlemen whoso shirking modesty will not permit them to be known, who are as learned as Grotius; who aro as knightly and chivalrous as the Chevalier B.tynrd ; who iu all that goes to coustituto the true, warm hearted gentleman are the equals of any gentlemen in the world. We are not of those wlto believe that no good can conic out of Nazareth ; we know that there are warmhearted whole sou led gentleman in the North;pity that there tiro not more of them like Captain Be Forest of the Fnited States Army. All Quiet Along tlie Ogecchce. The tliroteucd insurrection, near the Ogeeehce, has been n>ipi>iessod by the presence of the military and all appears to be quiet} once more. On Thursday the Ith inst., sixty seven of the rebel lious clan surrendered to Gen. Sweeney, and the following morning were turned over to the civil authority and regularly committed. It was expected that many others would voluntarily surrender. The negroes appear anxious for a speedy trial, which, no doubt will be granted. It is unfortunate that the civil author ities were not able without tho assis tance of the military to put down this in surieclion; tho effects of tho failure wo are afraid will he seriously felt in tho future. Tho Macon Teloyraph takes a correct view of the matter. It says: Tne •‘ittsurrccticn," so-called, will now probably dwindle into tnut worst and most incurable of social disonbos, a chronic condition rtf predatory ’vagrancy In this stale of ass airs while no acts of such startling violence may he perpetra tod, as wi 1 seem to justify a resort to conclusive proceedings, the whole region will he kept in such a slate of unsettle ment and apprehension as {to be value less for all the great purposes of civili zation. It will still be dominated over bv bands of black vagrants in a coudi tiori of practical outlawry. The few while proprietors of the soil will be forced to abandon tho country or live in perpetual disquietude and terror; and the "Ogeechee insurgents” will oc copy it as predatory squatters—.nomads and seici barbarians—subsisting upon the catch of the forest swamps and tide waters with an oeiasiunal act of plnn (hifatid robbery und .such slight efforts at agriculture as characterises the mass of the eiifiam litJid blacks in the British and French West* Indies and in Hayti. Th’s we fear is the moral and mean ing of tlie “corning in” linsincss; and w< point it out not to annoy tho whole pop ulation of those counties witli fears which may ; osstldc after all prove groundless ,l>nt to stir up the people awl authori ties of the country to the necessity of timely vigilance and precaution against j so natural and a gicat a catastrophe,! which would not etiflict a vital injury on; that section hut tend to demoralize oth ers. Those tide water counties offer all the Conditions of a savage paradise- With , their mild climate their abundance of fish | oysters and game, their impenetrable fastnesses, their contiguity to supplies of powder and all other savage necessi ties—their teeming abundance ol light I wood that crowning luxury of Southern idler* while and black nothing will pre vent a great congregation of squatters! there from lip and down the coast from j highland and lowland which would soon | establish a populous Cnneo in Georgia; and ashing as they have fur more privi- j leges and immunities than any white p<>s acssor ol the suit dares to claim the prob bin ot prevention strikes us as an ex frcmely subfile and oiflniilt point—a point to he dealt with deftly and ginger ly. Let the wits and the wisdom of the white population of the const set them selves about it ; for we tell them iu nil sincerity that the eonc’ition to ns, looks (. npromising. The “smlender’’ and the “coming in’' will no doubt, be practically accepted in satisfaction of all mischief done. The property destroyed, families and iven of! hi terror, men murdered and so on, will go ntiatoned for and unpunished, and the practical lesson of (he whole business to the negro will he, that it is an easy and cheap matter to run rot over the country and upset all tije securities of law and all the conditions of civilization Sufferings of New England Manu facturers! The following shows the par value and the market value of the stock of a few of tho New England companies : Androscoggin Mills (par value $100) 185 Feppercll Manufacturing company (par vnlue $100) 1,105 Pacific Mills Mills (par value $100) 2,015 Nashua Company (par value $100). .155 Stark Mills (par valuesloo) 1,215 Chicopoe Manufacturing Company • (par \ alue $100) .215 Salisbury Manufacturing Compa ny par value $100) 210| Boott Cotton Mills (par value $100.)...-..

New England lias a sterile soil, rocky barren, and entirely unfit for cultivation so much so indeed that alter earnest, deep reflection we have come to the con elusion that new England was made on Saturday ; for front its appearance the material out of which the world was made was about exhausted when put in to the crucible. .Testing apart these men, with their giant energy, have overcome all the ob stacles which Nature lias thrown around them- And, with an indomitable will and unlimited perseverance they have made tlieir dcßcrt places to blossom as the rose and tlieir rocks crowned hills to j resound with tho shrill whistle of the steam engine and the busy hum of labor No wonder that New England poured out her money like water in the war up on the South; no wonder that she should beiid all her energies to tho task ot sub duing tho rebellious Cotton States— Small wonder indeed, when success to the Soutti megnt free trade, and the Southern harbors whitened with the ships of every clime, and southern cot ton factories springing up like mag e all over the South ; and success to the South meant that New England, in her pride of Cotton factoiies, must fall; so then, small wonder if she should devote her whole gigantic power to keep her two vassals iu tho West and South in conipbtc subjection; for let us gain our freedom and New England’s foot is lif ted forever from the neck of the prostrate South ; we,should seek our markets direct in the- cotton masts of the old world and grass would grow in the paths tiiat led to New England cotton factories ; an (ft he Great West would be free and the South would tie free and the whole Republic would have made a great stride in morals, boner, education and the true principles of true liberty It might have been. 0, what a throng of memories comes hack to our hearts as we unite the saddening words of ruined hopes qf firm aspirations ; of dear com rades never to be clasped again by the hand of dear dead comrades, into whose clear confiding ey es wc shall never look again upon the green earth of the days when we’were a mighty power ki the land, and then, crushed, bleeding ’’pros irate, the secofld Poland of nations we felliell to rise pi' more if wc do not im prove all tho advantages that a kind na ture has given us: it wc do not in short build rip cotton factories in which we can keep to ourselves tho tremendous profits derived from making raw cotton into the spun or woven article. •‘Like angels visits tew anil far between” are now the cotton factories of the Smith and il our people do not wake np to tl e importance of this thing, too laic will they find that They are to be hopelessly arid finally subjected to the cotton lords of New England that they and not as ol the Smith are to have the advantage of our great and increasing crop of cot ton. We shall refer to this matter is more direct and full terms in our next weeks issue. Cotton is King. THE NEW ORDER OFTHIN’Ce TIIE BRAND FUTURE BEFORE THE SOUTH. The Memphis in a recent re view of the condition of the planters of ttie South concludes that they are better off than ever before und that their pros pects could not well be irnprov. and The largest cotton crop ever nosed was in 1859 00, which was about 5,000,- 000, b ales, realizing, at SSO a bale, $250. 000,000. This year the crop will lie a bout 2,000,000 bales; it is worth SIOO a bale and in the aggregate $200,000,000, or only one filth less than the crop of 1850 ’OO. New to the profits of this year' must be added some important items.— Ti c!r expenditures do not include inter est on the money which the laborer, as a slave was worth; nor taxes on the same; nor food for the idler the Rick the young or tiio aged. More than this their mon ey lias not been sent north for tiio pur chase of provisions for whatever food their people require has been produced from tlieir own soil in the greatest a- Imi dunce* Hence it is asserted that t ic present cotton crop will bring in as ! much money as ever was received by the South from this source in the palmi est days—though it is admitted that there are some temporary drawbacks, ! growing out of the “late unpleasantness. | Another condition is equally favorable: i Formerly the commission merchant in a meiisme held a mortgage on the plan- I ter’s possessions, for lie made advances jon a crop before it was grown, and this 1 continued from y-ear to year without a ! prospect of deliverance. But now through the instrumentality of the bank rupt law, a modern jubilee has dawned, u nking one man as good as another.— Thus the South has a now and a fair start; and with a certainty of Inrnish j ing to the markets of tiio world $200,000 j 000 worth of cotton year after year, a portion of which will he.retaincd among themselves by reason cf tlieir newly es tahlished thrift arid tho enlargement of the list of farm products, they are evi dently entering upon a course of uuex ampled prosperity- This is said of the staple crop of cotton alone ; lint there ! will tie large receipts from sugar rice and i tobacco, and it is declared that of them j selves they would he able, “in fifteen years to pay off the national debt.” But I if they were wise enough to take care of j themselves, this $200,000,000 coining in every year will be invested in railroads i aud other improvements which will in ! duce immigrants who will add to their j population and wealth, and in time give 1 them that which the North now possess es—political power. In view of these brilliant prospects, the North is destined to be undeceived and instead of carpet baggers she will send men of a different j class—men who will seek by industry to build up homes on the Sunny South ; and finally the North and the whole world will unite in confessions that after all, “Cotton is King.” Editorial Brevities. Ufa?* The editor of a Paris paper has fought upwards of sixty duels. He must be a quarrelsome individual. &gs- The Hon. John C. Breckinridge is expected to return to his home in Ken tncky in a few days. fttrW omen’s rights petition to Con gress are being circulated iu Massachu setts for signatures. Gen. Cole who killed the seducer i of his wife, and was acquitted of mur der on tho ground of "insanity” has made up with and is now living with his wife. ‘■There is no accounting lor taste.” Bt&r The French have discovered that the white of an egg given in sweetened water is a sure cure for tho croup. • The Radicals iu Congress have settled tho negro Representative qnos ; tion by resolving not to allow districts : electing negroes representation.

The Cathedral and all the brick buildings were cracked from top to bottom, and several persons kilied.

BttSu Uussia is vigorously and relent lessly crushing out evertiiing in Poland that marks its natienrlity. Many young Polish couples, win would not submit to a Russian marrage service have been secretly married at S'ffpol, by a smith who, until recently, did a very good bus iness. The Russian authorities found him out. aud sent him to Siberia. The marriages made by. him were declared illegal, and the unlucky young husbands have been enrolled in tho army. Kvwn baptism must be dom- ala liuxxt.. The peasents think there ts no saving efiica ev in this, and the Christian ceremony is often performed at the very pout of tlm bayonet. The Catholic inhabitants are, in some districts, escorted to church by sohlicts and police officers, so resolutely do they resist the introduction of the Russian language and semi Greek ser vices into their church si rvicc. Thk Supreme Court on the Paukcnixo Power —In the Semite, on the sih in*t, the recent proclama'ion of the Pie.-ident being under considnation, Mr. Doolittle said that the Supreme Court had express ly decided, in the ca-e of Garland, that tin- President has power by general prw bimatiorr, at any time after the commis sion of the offence, before legal proceed ings or during their pendency, as well as after conviction, to pardon offenders, aud that Congress Imd no right whatov ei to limit this dower, in the exercises of which the President does represent the over* ignty of tho people ii 1 1II* the United states.
