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. Conbahee. M >RTON, BUSS A CO. ’s JOB—C. D.

IN THE ICE-BOUND REALM OF ETERNAL WIN TER— PERILS AND FASCINATIONS OF AN ARCTIC WHALING CRUISE. Whaling, in its details one of the most re pulsive of human industries, has associations incomparably lancinating to the imagination, apart from the terrible toil, the courage, tbe endurance and the danger involved in the pur suit.

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 “finners” appoar, but at length the gentlemen Bee them, and their ill-concealed admiration seems uncalled for by the crew, to whom these wonderful creatures are very small deer, indeed, the mere outlyiDg “wild iowle” of the ice realm, gliding on the surface of the calm, clear sea, with a sudden, gentle motion, and heaving a loud “p o o-f” as they come by 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 whole air is alive with white-winged armies of sea birds, the high cliffs being tenanted by ■mother host at rest; two rocks stand out from the land, exactly resembling swif-sailing ships, coming on with all sails set, and heel- GeorgLa, but tha dust is still intolerable hope ihat rain will fs»l before that time. ‘scrip* i fT. „ en ‘ • Au* / C.

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 : tween one person and another, lie is likely to ! ~ * ■ be beaten m the race of life by a man with hall i ~ 0 Kroun 9 an his head, and half his heart, and no taste at i 1 ie UlT opens ou Mond y nex *’ and the indications I all, but with a toogue to speak the necessary j aK ‘ 1 wiil b ® ono of tbe Kindest exhibitions eve word, and a hand to do whatever is to be ' ***** *" n *—“ t -- • done.

These items should be taken into the ne- aunt in a just estimate of the relative values of the hay and the cotton crops. 4Ve might go still farther and show how cotton is a builder up of national wealth in its capacity as a pattern of commerce, and in varion3 other ways, but we have said enough already to illustrate the Vast difference that exists be tween the two products as sources of na tional wealth. 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 the entire remainder of her agricultural pro ducts.

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 HABPOONEB IS BEADY, he tubs and the line aro prepared; but the narwhal is difficult game; he goes at tremen dous speed, and his range of vision is wide; 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.

When the crow of tho schooner had killed their first narwhal, they made a vast tire place out of his remains, the opening between the ribs serv ing the purpose of a grate, picked in wood aud oakum, and set fire to the materials, in order that the odorous luiues might attract any bears that might be in Ihe neigliboilrood.
