V MATTER OP GRAVE IMPORTANCE.
The writer had r long interview recently
with Gen. Wade Hampton on the subject of
lormrag auxiliary historical societies in the
South in order to preserve the histoiy of the
Sooth during oar late war for constitutional
freedom. We beg leave to briog the matter
before the people ot Georgia, and to urge
upon the officers and soldiers w ho bore each
a gallant share in the struggle to organize a
society in this State as early as practicable.
Let such a society be formed in Atlanta. The
Herald will cheerfully aid such a movement.
THE HAY CROP VERSI S THE COTTON
CROP—MAINE AND GEORGIA.
Our Yankee friends are trying to make it
appear that their hay crop equals in value
the annual cotton crop of the South. We quote
a boastful paragraph on this point from the ! a division amongst the members^ one-halfof
one million of dollars in “bills receivable” by
the State for taxes.
This is only a ruse on the part of Moses to
replenish his depleted purse, as he will con
tend for a “cool” one hundred thousand in
excess for himself. Nearly all the Radical
papers are now pitted against Moses, and
his enemies are noisy in their denunciations
of him. The Democracy take no stock in the
fight, the general impression being that af
fairs cannot get much worse without the in
terference of Federal authority. I met some
parties last night just from the North, who
state that the President recently declared to
them at Long Branch that he would take
such steps text year as would insure the
defeat of Moses. The University has
quite gone np, not over a dozen students har
ing matriculated.
Kimptcn has his confidential clerk in read
iness to supply lobbyists with greenbacks,
and ere a fortnight has elapsed the discomfi
ture of the people will be consummated.
Tbe greatest confusion and excitement ex
ists iu Edgefield county, owing to an effort
on thepait of several radical “outs” to ob
tain tho tbe Treasurer’s berth of that county,
which they esteem above all others for the
“pickings.”
Senator Robinson has declared himself a
candidate for Governor, and the opponents
of Moses are flocking to his standard. If
you recollect, Robinson made great efforts in
the Forty-second Congress to remove the po
litical disabilities of prominent Southerners.

No wonder that the good people of Hull
watched with patient curiosity the fading of a
schooner-yacht which sailed from Hull on the
11th May, 1872, with a small party of English
gentlemen and an exclusively English crew,
for it was bound for Spiizbergeo, was to sail
round the island, and was fitted with all the
requirements for whaling and sealing. A large
fishing fleet was sailing, but the schooner
soon outsailed them all, and as the fishermen
hauled toward their fishing banks, and she
stood on her course alone, the talk on board
her was of
THE HYrZBBOKEAN SEAS AHEAD,
whose dread and danger the men knew and
had dared; and of the great whales, whose
capture is such fierce excitement and large
profit. Many days’ sail pass by before the

ship, whence they are watched in strictest si
lence. The marvels of tbe Northern seas
come quickly; Van Mayen’s Island lies in
the ship’s course, and, as they near it, the

A HISTORY TO TELL
full of warning, and j'et of weird attraction;
for here were b:ts of whale boats, reduced to
matchwood by tbe frightful action of the
boisterous seas; fragments of wrecks of ships
that had fought bravely agaiust the ice, but
fairly wearied, one another. They have been
so eloquently and sweetly told to foibear, to
rest and to wait, that for the present they are
entranced. It is out of France that the con-
flict rages, as for life and death. But in all
this hurly-burly, with a religious war on one
side of France, with a political reconciliation THE
on the other,and all Europe in a fever cf expec
tation, the question is put to one man, and for
the moment, all hangs on his decision. The
Comte de Chambord has been appealed to by
the loyalty of partisans, by the renuncia
tion of rivals, by a majority of the represent
atives of France, and by a general suspen
sion of party warfare only interrupted by the
national impatience of Frenchmen, to say
on what terms he will accept a crown. If the
Comte de Chambord is now ntterly unpre
pared, or only prepared to give an impossi
ble reply, it is reasonable to ask what he has
lived lor. Why has he spent a whole life of
preparation, to be unprepared at last, when
the day long hoped for does at length arrive?
Certainly it is no slight eminence to be tbe
eldest son of St. Louis, the heir of Louis XIV,
and the rightful claimant ot a throne which,
whether in its victories or its reverses, its
prosperity or its overthrow, ever occupies the
foremost place*in the admiration of the whole
world. The comte might be well conteut to
remain what he is, the greatest living witness
to principles that for a thousand years made
France so great and so powerful lor good or
for ill. He is the object of a personal wor
ship to the clergy and the old aristocracy of
that country. As an idol he need not move
or speak, still less attempt a transfiguration.
All this is his own already, and if he did not
even stir, or visibly breathe, he is still the star
of a nation's hopes aud regrets. For anything
Europe sees, this is the very part he has re
signed himself to, and it is only as inceme due
from tho faithful or the penitent tbat he re
ceives the offers of deputies and the submis
sion^ less legitimate pretenders than him
self.' But when the 1 worship is continued
heaped before Inm; when tbe prayer
praise have exceeded the limits of mortal
patience, there must come a time—indeed, it
has come, if it has not passed—when the
comte de Chambord will have to open his
mouth and say with sufficient plainness ot

These items should be taken into the ne-

of the hay and the cotton crops. 4Ve might
go still farther and show how cotton is a

as a pattern of commerce, and in varion3 other
ways, but we have said enough already to
illustrate the Vast difference that exists be

Our Maine friend should also have borne
in mind that Georgia, loo, besides her cot
ton, has her hay crop.. It amoanted in 1870
to only ten thousand five hundred tons,
which, we confess, presents a sorry appear-
anoe beside the one million tons of Maine ;
bat then take onr fodder crop—which is the
Sonthern substitute for hay—into the account,
and we doubt if Georgia is so far behind her
Eastern sister after all. In tho aggregate of
farm prodnete, we can make Maine ashamed
of herself, her figures for 1870 being pot
down in round numbers at thirty-threo mil
lions, while those of Georgia rise to tho digni
fied sum of eighty millions. We here
see ihat cotton constitutes only about one-
half the annual farm products of Georgia,
while, in the case of Maine, if we deduct the
value of her hay in 1870—$31,592,450—from
her aggregate productions—$33,470,044—wo
hare a balance ofbut $1,877,594 to represent

He has to choose between the white flag
and the tricolor. We must not smile as we
are told how the alternative is put. The white
flag is a Bible, a code aud a church to half
France; the tricolor is the fame to the other
half. Tfie whole ol his ghostly, isolated, mel
ancholy life has been spent under the flag
which represents every form of spiritual and
temporal oppression. Once it be reared over
the blackened ruins of the Tuilerics, France
is to wake from the delirium of a century,
and all things are to be as they were before.
Strange as such a resuscitation seems to us,
it may well seem natural, feasible and even
unavoidable to the Comte de Chambord. The

narwhal is difficult game; he goes at tremen

so that when he is dragged ou to the ice,
with his spotted hide and polished horn, he
is a trophy of the first class. Great hordes
of this curious mammal travel through the

suddenly skim along tho surface, curve their
