Many crude notions are prevalent, even among men who are looked to for intelligent advice, upon the financial stringency that now embarrasses the conntry. A few remarks, therefore, the result of some thought and a careful observation of tho current of events, may not be wholly without value at the pres ent time. Our first observation is, that the Federal Government is primarily responsible for the existing state ot affairs: First, by tilt- substi tution of its own credit—which is without de finable limits—for gold and silver, as a basis lor currency and all the banking operations ot the country; second, by its encouragement, by charters, subsidies, land grants and in dorsements of bond** of visionary and corrupt schemes ol internal improvement set onf*ot for individual thrift, und not required by the be>t interests of the public. Having com plete control of the currency,it bos allowed its issue in redundant quantities, (*) thus requir ing it to setk investment and uses outside ot the safe and legitimate business of the coun- try, giving rise to wild speculations and an inflation of values which must some day col lapse, to the ruin of all, and more especially those who have speculated on a credit. The volomo of the currency should be only sufficient for tho transaction of the regular, legitimate business of the country, and the a haste to get rich, which are possitive curses at the South. The habits of display and dissipation that have taken possession of both our women and onr men—the couquered,impoverished South, aping tho extravagance and fashions of the triumphant, money bloated North—is a sad spectacle indeed. But we regard the Bonth, with all her mis takes and follies, as in a far better condition than the North. The mania tor speculation has not raged here as it has there. We have a powertnl weapon with which to battle with financial troubles in our cott«»n crop, worth three hundred millions in cash assets, and, as fortuoo would have it. it is all ou hand at the commencement of the war. With such an agency, men in all departments of indus try who have conducted their business with reasonable sagacity and prudence, will come out unscathed from tho fight. Those who have not, would come to grief anyway, panic or no panic, and their fall is not likely seri ously to affect tho general welfare. There is one encouraging fact peculiar to this revulsion, and which should bo taken in to account in making onr calculations of tho future: Thorn can be no loss from depreciated or worthless bonk bills, which did so much harm in the panics of past years.

He finds in Judge Collier the embodim* nt of all tho principles for which he himself was struggling, and ris ing above the petty ambition which loves of fice for office’s sake, he withdrew from the contest. A man like Major Leyden, or Judge Collier, has little time or taste for politics, and it is a doubtless a duty from which either would escape. We shall need Judge Collier for one year, however. ter it will be for the general welfare. The ex isting troubles North having originated in a redundant currency, and its consequent reck* le*s speculation, while a temporary relief might bo afforded by the government step ping forward and adding suddenly to its vol ume, as is earnestly solicited by the banks, it would only end in an increase of the evil by perpetuating the ventnres that have brought it on tho country. Y'ou can nevor perma nently remove an effect by upholding the can>o that produced it. The permanent scarcity cf money at the South may bo cited ns militating against our theory of a redundant circulation, but it is in nowise impaired thereby. Wo of tho South get our full share ot the circulation annually, aud that without cramping the trade and commerce of the North. Our cotton crop alone, brings us uuuualiy about three hun dred millions of dollars—nearly one-half the entire circulation of the country. The trouble arises from the faev that we do not keep it. Through our false policy it is mortgaged au- nnalty in advance, and a largo proportion of it—enough to create a scarcity—slips through our fingers as soon as it is received, and goes back to the North. And for what? To pay for that which the South should make and do at home. The pockets of Western ATLANTA As ivvllUfl HARKKC. The Savannah Advertiser of a late date cop ies the Herald’s cotton statement showing that on the 12th Atlanta had received nearly •>,000 bales of cotton, expresses an agreeable surprise thereat, and says Atlanta, as had been predicted, must become one of our prin cipal “interior cotton markets.” By reference to our cotton statement of to day it will be seen that our receipts up to date have been over 7,200 bales. It is possible that work will swell the receipts to 120.000 bales. For the first two or three years after tbe war, we received only from 9,000 to 12.000 bales. List year the receipts nearly doubled, and run up to 32.000 bales. This year, if wo are not badly mistaken, wo will get over 50,000 bales, with a probability of 75,000. And yet this amount is hardly ihe half of what Atlanta is entitled to. The conntry that is properly tributary to this ei y raises 200,000 bales, of which we must and 'ill control at least 150,000. With the opening of the Air-Line, and the loading of Europe.*.n steamers at Port Royal, has been inaugurated a new era in our cotton business. What Atlanta wants is to handle 150>000 bales of cot on per annum. And this she will do, iu 1 .sa than ten years. Literary Chit-Chat. Ml-^s Anna E. Dickinson has written a book, of which tbe Os*oods hope to have the manuscript in time for publication this fall. Nothing is ns yet known of the work, except that it is a novel. writer in the American Bookseller’s Guide denounces vigorously the trade sales*of books by auction, wbicb, he says, “disorganize and distress* tho book business, and make no ad equate compensation by increasing the ►ales.” \>hii deploring the “cart loads of books slaughtered at this late sale.” and the disas trous effect on value s of tbe “bargains” se cured by buyers, he add», “Why, yon con obtain to-day at retail an immense line of books at rates imining irorn 25 to 100 per cent, be low the publisher’s retail rate!” It might be a peitinent inquiry. How much do those books bring which aro sold at 100 per cent, be’ow retail price ? Mr. 8.

OCT. 14 1873 The Herald Office has been remov«d »o Bawleton's Block, Third street, first door ontho rJwht. body of Southern society may be maintained, aud onr financial trouble shorn of many ot its worst features, by the observance of a few moral and practical rules that are applicable to the situation. The first is for every man to marshal his assets and pay his debts at the \ery earliest day possible, even at a sacrifice. No man is safe who consents to carry the burthen when he can throw it ofT. Six mouths hence it may require two or three dollars’ worth of prop erty to pay what one dollar's worth would pay now, and it is always wise to provide agaiDst a future which 3 ou cannot sec into. Our own Mr. James has set everybody a worthy example in this respect. II& ja able farmers and the plethoric coffers of North- \ to pay his debts and have a largo estate left ern and European insurance companies are nllowcd to absorb and enj>»y the fruits of our toil. The South is tully able to make her own food and a cotton crop besides that would be ample for the demands of the world, 3’ot we send millions away annually to bring food from abroad at extravagant prices. The South is amply a bio to injure all the lives of her peo ple and the homes they live in, and yet mill ions are aunnally sent to tho North to obtain protection, when w e arc able to protect our selves. These millions—amounting nearly to our entire surplus, and some wise men think more—might all be kept at home, to beautify anti improve our country, and make money always abundant Tho South has only to make her own food, do her own insur ance, and manipulate her own guanos, to be both rich and independent of all the world. We shall Dever be eitbtr, so long as we con tinue, with all our superior advantages, to be “hewers of wood and drawers of water” for the farmers laud capitalists of the northern States. We lay it down as an axiom in politi cal economy, that no agricultural people ever yet prospered who did not raiso their own food. The money thus annually abstracted from the South serves to increase the plethora at the North, and to lead to every species of ex travagance, financial gambling and vision ry ventures, which must, sooner or later, bring their harvest of woe. It is a mistake, in our judgment, to suppose that the existing financial troubles are but temporary and nearly over. The actual con dition of the country does not justify so agreeable an opinion. Whatever maj* be thought cf it, however, it will be wisest and safest to consider the great volume of the storm ahead, and for all to prop their houses iu order to breast its fury. Wo hate seen thus tar but partial locil effects of a wide, spread cause. There is a vast amount ot fi nancial sham and rottennness at the North, and, wo fear, a good share at the S nth, all of which must dis appear under the real pel of the revulsion. To change the figure, it in a wind that will not cease to blow until it shall have winnowed tho wheat from the chaff. However long post poned, the day of reckoning, when men must stand lortli for what they really arc, and not what they seem iobe, will sure y come. Stocks that have been inflated beyond their real value by financial trickery, must comedown to what they are actually worth, and holders for spec ulation must suffer by the fall. All the splen dor that has grown up on these inoidinute aud unnatural v,.lnes, must collapse and lead to individual and corporate ruiu. While tho planters of the South suffer lrem the causes already named, a great source of trouble among our business men of every class, is optr t ng on capital borrowed at ruin ous rates of interest. No man cau afford to do any regular business on money borrowed at two and two-and-a-hali por cent, per month. If the actual number who borrow at five could be known and stated, we are satisfied that all prudent, sensible men would stand aghast at the exhibit, lu the case of the mer chant, should be soil at a good profit all be buy.-, and collect atter their cancellation, 3*et he neither sues his debtors nor waits for his creditors to sue him; ho trusts to tho iutegrity of tho former, aud puts his own property ou the market to satisfy the latter, let it bring what it may. Mutual confidence, and pay out as fust as you can, should be the motto of all. Iu order to meet this first condition of safe ty* a rigid economj’ in all things is absolutely necessary. We should live within our means, however fierce may be tho struggle; it will all be lor the best. We must give up the luxuries, and look solely to tho comforts of life, for a season, at least. Buy nothing which we can make of ourselves, and nothing tEat we can do without. Appearance must cease to be the standard of worth in society, and the rich who prescribe the law should bo the first to abolish it. That faNored class should have the philanthropy in times of public distress, to set the example of economy, for they alone, in the public sentiment they have created, can afford to do it. When the yielding of pride to common senso and enlightened hu manity shall have become fashionable, they will have a legion of followers. Reduce these wholesome considerations to practice, and we of the South will bo enabled tosnsp our fiDgers in the face of financial panics. We bhall have found a panacea for all our ills.
