To Be in ess Men av Savannah.— The
<tn in ago (loiio lo tlic Atlantic & Gulf
Railroad by the recent storm, has pre
vuiled Col. B, C. Wade from paying his
contempt ited visit to tlic merchants and
business men of llio ‘‘Forest City,” in the
iiitUfestbf the Quitman Banner, as an
‘U/IHJUtO in our isme ol last week, 'i lie
road will he placed in its usual good
condition within a very few days; and
we therefore announce that Col. Wade
will he in Savannah and pay hia respects
to her merchants on Thursday next, the
7th inst. Our cotemporaries ot Savan
nah will confer a great favor l>y giving
notice of the proposed visitofCol. V’aiik,
and tiic purpose 1 of the same.
A Vi >it to Utah —Oor thanks are dne,
to Mr. 0. T. Terry, of the firm of W. E.
Barnes & Cos., ofQuitm m, for late flies
ol Utah, California, and other western
papers. Mr. Terry loft Quitman on the
4th ot July last, for an extensive tour in
the West, and has just returned. He
sojourned most of the time in the Tciri
tory of Utah, and was among the saintly
villiaiis and their harems in Salt Lake
City—heard tho great apostles expound
from the “Book of Mormons,” in their im
mense synagogue, which has a capacity
of seating eight thousand persons—bc
c< me conversant witli their forms and
mode of living—witnessed the exercise
if tho franchise by tlic women of Salt
Lute City—and notwithstanding all this (
helms returned home perfectly disgusted
with the who'c Mormon herd, from Brig
bam Young down to his most cringing
slave—and declares that tho whole Mor.
mon population is pi finessed of the most
villuinoiis character ever delineated in
the Iranian face. According to Mr
Tei iiv, and no doubt lie is correct., li e
Mormon population of Utah is an ignor
ant, intolerant, beastly and slavish peo
pie, and it would be a blessing to the
win Id if they were exterminated.
A District Court.
We tiusl our able, indefatigable and
energetic Representative in tlio next
Georgia Legislature, Capt. James 11.
Hunter, will perceive the neecsity for,
and LeutflU to accrue to the people, by
having the system of District Courts ex
tended lo tliis, tlie Seventh Senatorial
District. The necessity for the sessions
of said tribunal is made apparent almost
every day. Tho most trivial infraction
of the criminal law, frequently costs tho
county enormous sums, for the maintain
ancntif pci so is charged will) crime, who
arc so unfnrtminto as to bo unable to
procure bail. Asa ease in point, we re.
ter to the man and woman now incarcer
ated in the Brooks county jail, under a
charge of petty larceny. The charge is
that they stole four verse, the cunt ol
which is two and a half or three dollars.
Under existing statutes, having failed to
furnish bail, they must remain in jail tin
lil the November term ot trio Superior
Court, some three months, at an expense
to tho County of between ninety and one
hundred dollars.
Wo do not wish it understood that we
comb inn the prasocuUim of parlies guil
ty of miner < fleeces. Far Irani it. 11 esc
UU.'e infractions of tiic criminal law lead
to great crimes; and it is a wise provis
ion of law, that tlic insignificcnce of the
amount involved in a larceny, is not u
palliation of the offence. It is r'ght that
crime, ot every grade, should receive
merited punishment. Tho well being ot
society, good order, ami personal pro
tection demand it—and all good citizens
should bo instrumental lit ferreting it
out.
Our object in favoring tl.oso I)i.-tiicl
Couits, is to curtail tlio expenses of the
county, and thereby reduce taxation.
Now, if wo bad a District Court, these
parties charged with stealing geese, and
other similarly committed, could and
would have a heaving within thirty days
after committal. As to the cost of Dis
tiict Courts, wo icel sanguine they can
be made self-sustaining, or rather, that
tlic Huts assessed against parties con
victed of minor ofioncts, would be snfii
«ieot to meet all expenses, and thereby
relieve the county of tho present enor
mous expense of b aling prisoners. We
merely direct tlic attention of our Repre
sentative to the matter—satisfied that
his good judgment will inlinence him to
zealously advocate any and all measures
that will redomid to the welfare and
prosperity of the people of Brooks.

Immigration Meeting.
A large number if the citizens of
Bio Is county met in lilt; Court-room in
Qailmn i, on Thuisdaj’, the 24th ult.,
and orgairzed by selecting Col. James
Y. Jones, Chairman, and Capt. John 0.
McCall, Secretary.
The Chairman explained tho design
of the meeting, by introducing ex-Chief
Justice Ciiari.es If. Dupont, the Pnsi
dent of llio Immigration Association of
Middle Florida. Tlic Judge spoke about
otic hour—taking a ; radical, common
sense view if the necessity for, and ad
vantages to flow from foreign immigra
tion. Our changed political condition,
lie contended, made it an imperative
necessity, that our country should be
more densely populated by people of our
own race; otherwise the “black wave”
that was rapidly approaching from lire
Erst, North and West, would eventu
ally ovi rwbe’m us in utter ruin. The
border Southern Stales were rapidly
fi ling up with the best class of North
erners and hardy yeomen from the Old
World; the Southwest; was gradually
substituting Chinamen for the African
laborer; consequently the negro is forced
to recede before the udvancc of the su
perior race in the border States—and also
a Hxqicrior lalxjr in the Southwest. And
as the “black wavj” recedes it gait s
strength, and must, unless counteracted,
eventually settle in Carolina, Georgia,
Florida and Alabama.
It was this correct' view of our po
litical-condition, that 1 ad influenced the
speaker (Judge Dupont) and other citi
z iis ts Florida, to enlist zealously in
the work of foreign immigration; for lie
laid it down ns a maxim, that political
equality will eventually lead to social
equality, unless proper safeguards are
provided; those safeguards are a dense
population of the Anglo Saxon race.
Wo will not attempt a Bynopsis of
Judge DuPont’s address, as we took no
notes, lie very briefly reviewed the
whole subject of foreign immigration,
and in a modest, quiet manner, laid be
fore our people tlic great necessity for
prompt and effective action. Although
representing an association that was
engaged in the immigration of labor
from Sweden, lie was wedded to no
particular nationality, but would most
heartily welcome men of every nationali
ty, of the tame race as our own. He
could, however, highly recommend the
Swedes ns laborers and citizens, ns
they had been fairly tried in Florida.
They arc industrious, frugal, temperate,
honest, and prompt to adaot themselves
to our customs and manner of labor.
Finally, the speaker announced, that
if any of our citizens di sired to procure
any number ol Swedish immigrants, he
would take pleasure in filling orders.
The entire expense of transportation, See.,
is seventy five dollars; but fur this out
lay the immigrant labors faithfully one
entire year; and at the expiration of
said period, lie will contract lo labor for
a fair compensation. We are not aware
that Judge DuPont received any orders
fur Sweden, but his speech had a good
effect, and lias put our p< oplo to reflect
ing upon the subji ct.
’’Death of a Goon Man.— Tho Sanders
villa Georgian of the 23.1 ult., chronicles
the death, in the I’onnty of Washington,
ofßev.Gi: rue W. Sharks- a brother of]
our townsman, Mr. J, J. Sharks. The I
edlte.r of the Georgian pays the follow
ing feeling tribute to his memory:
Death oh Rev George W. Shakes.—
Our “Local''at Bethlehem has already
announced the death of this gifted, de
vout and much beloved young Minister.
We have just returned from tho grave,
however, where we paniepaled in giv
ing him a Masonic burial, and cannot
refrain from saying something. We
knew him well and loved him much.—
Have never seen a young Minister of
brighter promise. Wo doubt if Wash
ington county lias ever pioduccd his su
perior. Alter serving hia beloved South
nobly, as a gallant soldier and office, dur
ing the entire late war, tho sword was
exchanged for the bible, and his all giv
en to his Master. He fell at his /tost in a
land of strangers. Seized upon by the
relentless disease, consumption, ho was
brought home a few weeks since, to die
in ills mother’s arms. Well, lie nudoubt
ally had a good account to render to ilie
Great Master, lie had “fought a good
fight,” though short had been the strug
gle. Would to U"d wo had a George
Sparks in every village, town and ham
let. What a halo of glory shines around
that eld family burying ground. Dry
your tears, aged mother, you have a son
in glory.

perverse?- --Sor. .Yetes.
You're partially right,Mr. A>ics; none of the’
“caress" tor us, il you please—the odor is too ]
strong. As to those ‘‘chronic bumble-bees”— j
wo presume it is one of the periodical fancies of j
this conceited city editor’s brain- -when bees,
wasps, snakes and little devils perambulate be
tore ids mental vision—and the unfortunate man j
has taken up the strange idea that they (the !
bees) have located in the country editors’ bree

to tiie apparition: “P arest, why so perverse?" j
But it is of no avail; “perverse" the keeper of j
the pub'ie erib remains; nnd in his wrath, he ;
thunders anathemas again; t those who are his j
political and social peas.
Tire Second Storm.
On last Friday and the night follow
ing, wc had a duplicate ot the storm of
tbe previous week; hut on this latter
occasion, the fall ol rain, in this imme
diate section, was by far tlic most co
pious. Tho damage, however, as far
as ascertained, was confined to the ma
turing crops of cotton and corn, and to
fencing. Colton lias been very much
! injured by these fw> storms; and it is
the op’tiion of discreet planters, who
heve had oppoilenities to forma cor
rect estimate, that this county wifi not
send to market exceeding one-third the
amount of cotton she did last year. Os
course this great decrease in tlic pro
duction is not owing entirely to the
storms, but the boil worm and rust have
been at work, and made a barren waste
of many fields that, six weeks ago, gavo
promise of a splendid yield of the fleeey
staple.
As to the ravages of ibis second storm
abroad, wc arc, at this writing, in total
ignorance, owing to the fact that the
railioads arc impassable, and we have
had no mail since Friday morning.
There arc several breaks in the railroad,
cast of this point, and it is reported it
will require several da) s to repair tho
same. Intelligence from Florida is to
the effect, that last Friday’s storm was
the most severe and disasterous that ev
er visited that State, and that the de
vastation is wide-spread and ruinous.

Editor Banner: Dear Sir.— Asa term
used in my last letter, has and is being
made a subject of most rigid criticism,
in private, and most probably will bo in
public, and inasmuch as my space in
your columns is limited, am) as I have
no disposition to notice, in my letters,
private criticism upon mere terms, 1
wish to explain what I meant by the
term that seems to bo so vulnerable, i
Tho term criticised, and which a Divine
said be never heard of, is "<? i edits talus"
aud “erect us physic. ” Erect us —a Latin
word, rendered upright, and may prop-I
erly be applied to morals; tvtu» —a I.atiu
word, rendered safe, and may also be
applied to imsa’s; to wit: God’s |
morals are safe or perfect—a safe or j
perfect guide for man’s conduct, impel'- j
vious to the allurements if evil. Erec
tus, upright—tutus, safe. I blend the |
two as characteristics of the Deity—up- ■
right and safe, or perfect in morals, j
Erectusphysic: the latter I used us an
abbreviation of the English word.’physi- [
cal; which refers to the body, and is 1
derived from the Latin physiem. The!
application was made in the letter, and
1 wi.l not repeat it. Now, in short, 1j
meant to convey tlic idea, that God was j
upright iu morals—tl at man was up-j
right in person; an 1 to make it more j
specific, so that it may tic understood, 11
wanted to convey the idea, that man
stood on two feet, with liis head up.

I. in: If the shadows of my litters pro j

AMICUS. I
Important to l'!anter><
Wo received last wci-I: a copy of tbc
annual.leflrr Rent out by that sterling
c tmtnisß : on house, A. M. Si/>as & Cos.,
of Savannah. It is ovciflowing with
good advice to planters, and an iucontro
vertiblo argument in favor of the curtail
ment of the area of land devoted to the
raising of cotton. If our spacs pcinn’t
ted wc would puLlisli the letter in full,
but the reader must he content with a
few paragraphs:
■Savannah, Ga., August 19, 1871.
♦ * * * * *
“More recent developments Lave still
further confirmed the views already ex
pressed as to the .imperative necessity of
a litn’t in the production rs cotton; the
cr< p of 1870, and tire subsequent steady
decline in prices upon increasing stocks,
all attest to the arbitrary power of an es
tablished principle of trade, that when
any article is produced largely in execs*"
of demand, that pries must pr< portion
ately recede. VVc endeavored in our last
letter to impress upon you that cotton is
not exempt from this law which charac
terises commerce, that tbo value ol
the staple depends entirely upon the
quantity produced, and an vised the re
striction of its cultivation from a maxi •
mum to a medium extent. If the recent
increased value of cotton, based upon I
the prospective diminished yield, does
not prove a powerful coadjutor in con
vincing planters of their error in produc
ing large crops, then wo must patiently
await the advent of a more potent ad
vocate, one whose reasonings admit of
no argument, and who poss sses the far
ulty of torcing conviction upon the most
stubborn intellect—wc mean “Ruin.”
* * * * * *
"From advices received from various
sections, we Hod that the area of cutte.n
lias been reduced by a moderate per
centage. It is with infinite gratifica
calion we note the first effort at reform,
and sincerely hope that it is the corner
stone upon which is based the speedy in
dependence a., 1 enduring prosperity of
our people.
* * * * * *
"Those who may have r garded the
subject in a superficial manner only, m >y
discredit our assertion when wo affirm
that, intrinsically, the pr< election of cot
ton lias been a source of but little profit
to the Sooth, excepting, pi chaps, that
pel iod when at an early date the pro
duction was in its infancy, and therefore
high prices tv re obtained—even then
some doubts may be reasonably attach
ed—when wc reflect that tho mechani
cal appliances necessary for Clio prop r
preperation of the staple were in a very
imperfect condition, and the and fioicney
in this respect had to lie supplied, at a
high cost, by manual labor. N -itlior do
we include a later period, when, from cx-
Iraodinary circumstances, the staple
ruled at high figures, but we ombracj in
our assertion ti e time when prices rang
ed from 7J'to 14 cents per pound, before
the war, and from Bto 15 cents during
tiic past season,
* * * * * *
"We have Buffered from an excess of
cotton, and have prospered on small
crops. Why not, then, avail ourselves
of tin's practical illustration and so regu
late the cultivation and production ol the
staple as to keep prices up to a stam'-
ard which will yield a reveun of SO to 100
per cent, over last, tl ns levying a tax
upon the world-'which, in the course of a
few years, will cancel their debt, com
pensate us at a high figure for our slaws
emancipated, and still leave us in a p->si
lion of independence which, with proper
care, we ran ever maintain?
"Furthermore, wo must f ster and
sustaiu enterprise looking towards do
mestic manufactures. The Southern
people have been cu'pable in the extreim
in neglecting til’s important brunch of
home industry. Oar state ;1 -rie possess
es wafer power sufficient to manufac
ture goods f-r the entire South, am! in
a section whose climate is iinsinpasacd
for salubrity, and whose 1 canty ol scen
ery leaves nothing to he wi.-hed h r When
this is done wo will have entered upon
a career of prosperity which will operate
in every way to our advantage.
“First. We will l>c independent of
tlie world and cause all nations to lie so
tar dependent upon us ns to I c c impelled
to pay twenty ecu's per pound for cotton,
when lornnrly they paid lilt ten
cents.
"secondly. To the Northern philan
throjiln'nts, whom nothing would content
save thelieciorn of our slaves, it will
di monstrnte, through the unfailing a-go
ment of dollars and cents, that 11 ley also
were directly interested in the perpetua
tion of slavery to the extent of 10 cents
per pound on all cotton which they may
Congo me.
"Thirdly. The grnnerics of the West
(upon which, through a short-sighted
policy, our planters have been compell
ed to make constant demands) will seek
other marts, and the South, once relieved ;
of this source of financial depletion, and !
assisted ov tho reforms we advocate, will {
rapidly recuperate and regain her form-. .
cr condition of wealth and general pros
perity.
“The extent ol land usually devoted to :
cotton having been somewhat diminish- j
erl, and in addition to this the prevalence
of unfavorable weather for several weeks
subsequent to the planting season, creat
ed the belief that the yield from the !
growing crop, ns compared with that of j
last year, would bo greatly reduced.
Influenced by this impression, prices rap
idly advanced to twenty cents fur mid
dling cotton in this market, and to twen
ty- one cents in New York.
"More recent advices of the condition
of the platn have effected a material
change. The istimates of the present
crop being three to three and a quarter
million bales, further advance Ims been
checked, and prices have gradually re-'
ceded to seventeen cents for middling, j
‘ Should the above estimate of the i
crop prove to 1 e correct, it will not l>e ;
unreasonable to expect a marked im-i
provi nrent np- n tiie prices obtained the
past reason; for while the estimate if
the yield is so far in excess of original
calculations as to depress tho value id i
cotton, wc believe that tbc dlscrcj-ai - y
between aggregate of the growing
ornp and that of 1870 and ’7l will be
such as to create reaction,which will re-j
suit to the great hem fit of the planter, ’j
Conductor Roddy, a young and meri
torious officer on the A- & G. R. R-, was
drowned in the Ogeechcc river on last
Thursday, and his hotly was not recov
ered until Saturday- The Savannah j
Republican gives the following details of j
the sad event:
It appears that Conductor Rodiley was
engaged with Superintcudant Haines
in repairing the.bridge over the Great
Ogeechcc, which had sustained some
I dan age in the last storm, when his pock-1
