&tiye Committee, sent here to importune
for the admission of Virginia, have
misrepresented, and unjustly
t<tn P ■ however, that some of tho
’"^beis of this committee were ready to

f \- f * York, presented in the House a hill

of Virginia which relate to suffrage, com-
(me school fund and provide that colored

mon Reconstruction.
The treatment which Virginia is receiving,
w d the conditions she is asked to accede to, in
flate what Georgia has to expect from a Rad-'
ial Congress. It is, perhaps, hardly necessary
a point out that the pledges which the repre-
»utives of a State may be forced to make, (to
jmive admission to the Union) with regard to
Je altering or repeal of certain laws, at any fu-
-re time, cannot be enforced. Such proceed-
l,p ere contrary to public policy; and the
jnrts would so hold, in addition to their being
ptfitiu jradum.
There have been no new developments in re-
Hion to the case of Georgia since my telegram
i Monday night The friends of Georgia in
jingress desire facts with whioh to expose the
(tomes of Bullock and his ultra-Radical allies.
Jisalso urged that representative men should
latent to Washington to defenrftiie interests of
State against her detainers.
Messrs. Cox and Wood, of New York, have
jiren notice in tho Honso that they would vote
Or no more special bills for renewing disabili
ty, and demanded the introduction of a general
0L I learn from a reliable source that Gen.
Butler is preparing an amnesty bill, the provi
din'; of which are worthy of its author. Ho
that each applicant shall present to
die District Judge of his District a statement in
niting giving in detail his acts during the late
nr. The Jndge will thereupon oanse to be in-
«ted in the official paper of the District (more
pip for the carpetbag organs) an advertisement
to the effect that Mr. has applied for
pinion, and appointing a certain day to hear
tie case. If no one appears on that day to
mke objections, the Judge will furnish the ap
plicant with a certificate which will act as a re
moval of all disabilities whatever.
Bntler explains that the requiring of written
(tatements as to what part each individual had
liken in the “rebellion” is for the purpose of
'•making history:” but it is suggested that he
is desirous of obtaining information on which to
Use indictments! It is not at all probable that
nch a bill, if introduced, would be passed by
the present Congress.
There was nothing doing in the House to-day
to fill for special mention. The galleries were
well-nigh deserted, and even the reporter’s gal-
lay was without its usual quota of Bohemians,
lathe Senate a long personal explanation from
Kr. Btowuluw was read from printed slips by
tie Secretary. It was pretty much the old story
«er ngain. * Cooper was endorsed as a consist-
at Union man during tho “ rebellion” and as a
Rpporter of Grant and the present administra
tion. The circumstances attending the salo of
the Knoxville Whig were given in detail. The
pack was venomous and bitter, and abounded
h such terms ns “knaves,” “unscrupulous
Ins,'’ “scoundrels,”etc., etc. When Congress-
nen Butler and Stokes were denounced as liars,
od other opprobrions terms were applied to
them, the Speaker interrupted the reading, but
d was immediately resumed, and Brownlow
rent on to say that he had been dying since
1$0J, and although the pace had been a good
accelerated by bis trials during the war, he
npected to administer on his own estate for a
pod nnny years to come. At all events, he
*on!J not commit suicide to pleaso his enemies.
While the reading was in progress, Brownlow
•jt sunk down into his chair, with his chin npon
•a breast and his left leg thrown over his desk,
imposing a very substantial shoe and a foot that
®ook as if in an ague fit.
A speech from Senator Carpenter, in the in-
iMvsts of the Cubans, was next in order; and
tot withstanding the protest of Mr. Sumner,
*ho said tho Senate had no facts before it, and
nisw nothing of the question except from news
paper reports, Mr. Carpenter proceeded with
“S address. He protested against tho release
?Spanish gunboats now in New York har-
and claimed that the neutrality laws, do not
Parent foreign nations to fit out military or na-
JJ* expeditions against any nation with which
rj *** a * peace. His speech was Cuban all
joeb and excited the uninterrupted attention of
senate and lobbies during delivery. Quito
number of Cubans were in tho galleries and
”ie attentive listeners; but there were no
“embers of the Spanish Legation in tho Diplo-
0*hc gallery.

the seized gunboats, •
In New York, were not half such a source of
gossip and calculation there as in Cuba, up to
the time I left Havana, Sth inst. Such a furore
as there wa3 at'Matanzas and Havana when
the telegraph brought the news! Never before;
since the beginning of the revolution, have the
Spanish element there felt, in any great meas
ure, alarmed about real intervention on the part
of the United States. But at the first blush of
the news a terrible excitement prevailed among
the fire-eating class of Spaniards—those who
keep out of the field. They were wild with ex
citement—an immediate declaration of war by
Spain against the United States and the total
extinction of the American nation, was the mild
est thing one could hear.
Among the “Insnrrects” the matter was dis
cussed with better lights: While they hailed it
with joy they know how temporary would be
the detention, they did not connt upon the seiz
ure to do more than embarrass the Spanish
Government, but they made all the eapital pos
sible but of the fact of seizure.
The “Insnrrects” knew that the seizure was
brought about by tho Peruvian Government,
and knowing that, in fact, Spain and Peru were
at peace—though not a cordial peace—they did
not build more npon it than was wise, knowing
the character of the Peruvian Minister in the
United States.
The seiznre was only made—though long in
contemplation—through the shrewd diplomacy
and exquisite management of a secret agent of
the Caban Government, accredited to Pern. He
saw that the moral effect to Cuba, and the
canse would bo worth a score of battles, and the
scheme was duly concocked and carried out. It
is but one of the many rods in pickle for Spain,
and I venture to assert that the distinguished
soldier, and no less distinguished diplomat, will
be a worse thorn in the side of Spain than any
Cuban army now in the field.
A PEN PHOTOOBAPH
Of one known by name and sight to many thou
sands who done battle for the Lost Cause, as
well as to many thousands who battled against
it, may not- be uninteresting. General Paul
Hamilton—in older days, Major—is, in personal
appearance, little like the conceived idea of a
terrible soldier, a man of blood. I should judge
him thirty-five years of age, a little over medi
um height, slenderly built, erect and soldierly
yet, though not as when he rode at Shiloh and
Corinth, for work, and imprisonment, and
wounds, and cares havo bowed him somewhat.
A quiet, mobile face, which, in its varying ex
pression, is the most singular and interesting I
have ever looked npon, an eye which can be as
piercing as an eagle’s, yet is as mild as a fawn’s,
a high, open brow which bears the imprint of
many cares, wrinkled and seamed, with a firm,
decided curve to tho lips which bespeak the
man of iron will, quick resolve and desperate
determination. And yet the lips can Rmile as
hough noharsh word ever issued from them, as an
incident illnslrated to me. In conversation with
the General, Iremarked I was from Carolina,and
should, I hoped, soon return there. His face
grew as soft as a woman’s, as he said, “ Caro-,
iina, it is very dear to me; I trust some day I
may get there, also.”
To look npon him, one would scarce believe
the tales told of his prowess during the war in our
own land, much less the deeds done in Cnba,
while he was in the field. The perfect exem
plification of courage, and of the rashest cour
age, he carried his men along by his personal
valor and the magnetism of n soul which bad no
fear, and which, recking nothing of life, dared
attempt all things. From merely looking at his
face when lit up by a smile of confident resolve,
I could follow him against a thousand-fold of
odds. He talked quite freely of tho revolution,
of the chiefs of it, of its chances, and in one
hour gave me a clearer insight into the real con
dition of -affairs in Cnba, and the chances the
Cubans have, than I havo been able to gain by
a five months’ trip through every accessible and
some rather inaccessible portions of that
Island.
Referring to the capture of a party of recruits
last July in Macon, he said such material was
of little service, if ho were to judge from tho
articles in the Macon papers, some copies of
which he had sent to him. He says, though,
that there are a number of Georgians worthy
of the name in the field and more coming. Da
ring the hours I spent on board the General's
yacht, the Ruttiers—the most beautiful speci
men of marine architecture of her size now
afloat—I was treated with the utmost hospital
ity and good fellowship, and for no other good
and sufficient reason save that. I was able to re
call to the General the fact that I, being sepa
rated from my command, joined' his at Shiloh
and rode during the first day’s fight with it.
I was invited to dine with the General and his
staff, and taken after my Cuban experience in
gastronomy, I shall ever look back to it as the
greatest dinner of 1809, if not of my life. I
rather think I should like that kind of service,
provided I could havo such a cook as he is
blessed with. Col. Hamilton, a relative of tho
General, a much older man, is the chief of staff
and confidential executive officer. Col. Gravier,
he of tho famous Nicaraguian, South American,
California and Cuban memory, is also attached
to the staff. Senors Montero and Ruiz, and
Secretary Barratto, Major Wertlow, and last but
not least, Colonel Thornton, were of the party.
Not a man here but has a history, and either
life wonld famish food for a score of romances
to a novelist. Col. Thornton came over with
me from Cuba, but I little dreamed that my
quiet looking fellow-passenger, who smoked and
peered so assiduously through a pair of glasses
at a volume of Schiller, in tho original tongue,
was aught but a qniet German visiting our
shores on a voyage of pleasure. He was under
Gen. H. through their famous campaigns from
January to August of this year. 'The Cuban
gentlemen were once of the wealthiest in tho
Island—now broken in fortune, but not in hope
and spirit. They are hard at work for the cause.
I happened to have with me a recent issue of
tho Vox de Cuba, containing an order for the
release of some prisoners in the Cinco Villas
District, and Colonel Thornton very gravely
read to the General the order which released
him, Gen. H., among others, adding: “Yon
will have to inform His Excellency that yon an
ticipated his order and released yourself,’ and
then I heard Gen. H., at the solicitation of tho
party, relate his ride from Cinco Villas, or
Gnadalnpe to the coast. I have known of won
derful rides and daring ones, but I listened to
this with feelings akin to the marvelous. How
a man, half dead with wounds and imprison
ment, found nerve to undertake it conld only be
estimated by knowing the wonderful courage of
this man. To watch his bronzed bearded face
as he spoke, simply telling, without attempt at
coloring, the dotails of that escape. Bnt it
sprinkled his hair and beard with gray, and
Dressed lines into brow and cheek which will
never be smoothed out. From the comments
after the recital, I gathered that there was
something of a lover’s as well as of a soldier s
nerve which prompted and sustained him in the
feat. But with the enterprises he has on his
hands, Cnpid will be outranked by Man tor
many a day, I fear. Such spirits as his seldom
know the bliss of repose, they live and have
their being among stern and stirring scenes.
No braver, no gentler soul than Paul Hamilton s
ever gave itself to war or to woman. May his
fondest hopes in both bo realized.
. THE COM3N® STRUGGLE
Is causing unwonted activity along the Florida
coast, and munitions of war are being concen
trated and shipped m large quantities. The
untiring zeal of the General s staff is manifest
by the activity of their movements, and quietiy
and in secret they are doing more for Cuba than
sanding thousands of men would acoomphsh.
CHARITY FOB CUBA.
Senoz Jose Felipe Morens joined us just pre
vious to my departure from the yacht, and I
learned that ho is the President and prune
mover of tho new Cuban Rebel Committee,
who propose to establish agencies throughout
every State, and solicit contributions m aid of
the families of Cubans and of Americans made
destitute-by the revolution. A general agent
will be ooanuisMonod for each State, who will
commission sub-agents and thoroughly canvass
every city, town and county. I trust the press
generally will, as it has ever done, aid this no
ble charity in every possible manner. Each
contribution will be receipted for as a
CONTRIBUTION TO CHARITY.
There is no bond business, no promise to pay
back, no other inducement held out save the
noble inducement of giving relief and aid to
tile starving and destitute, made so by battling
for independence. The address for the next few
weeksof Senor Jose Felipe Morens will be Wasli-
ington, D. O., where he goes immediately to per
fect and arrange the details of the organization.
Applications for agencies may be made hiih by
letter, and, as it is purely a work of charity,
those who take agencies must give their services
gratis—nothing but actual expenses being al
lowed for collection. The noble, large-hearted
Southern women should take this cause home
to themselves and aid it as they only can aid it.
At another time I will try and give some
items.relative to Cuban scenes and experiences,
both in and out of-the Caban army.

Constitutionality of the Tax on Cot*
ton.
A case has just been argued in the United
States Supreme Court at Washington, of great
interest to cotton producers, dealers and con
sumers. It is the case of Farmington against
Saunders, from the district of West Tennessee,
involving the constitutionality of the tax on
cotton imposed by the internal revenue act of
July, I860. Farmington owned one hundred
and fifty hales of cotton, npon which the three
per cent, tax had been levied, and whioh he
paid under protest, to avoid the seiznre of his
property. Subsequently this action was brought
to recover the amount of the tax, the claim be
ing that it is invalid because unconstitutional,
as being .a direct tax without apportionment,
and as being a tax on the exportations of the
cotton-growing States. The judgment below
sustained the tax, and the case was brought by
writ of error for. review, the plaintiff in error
insisting that an ad valorem tax on personal
property, without reference to consumption, is
of the same character as an ad valorem, tax on
land, both being direct. This tax, therefore, it
is submitted, being levied directly upon pro
duction without reference to its use or consump
tion, is in its nature a direct tax, and can be
levied only by the rule of apportionment. It is
also contended at length that cotton is produced
in the Southern States for the pnrpose of ex
portation, as shown by the history of its growth
and consumption. From 1820 to 18G4 three-
fourths to five-sixths of the cotton raised in the
United States was exported abroad. From 1864
to 1807 the exports were from two-thirds to
three-fonrths; and for the year ending June 30,
1867, the exports were 667,137,870 pounds, of
the value of $202,807,910; and of the portion
not exported abroad, it is asserted as a familiar
fact that bnt an insignificant fraction is con-
snmed in the States where the cotton is pro
duced, the great bulk being exported to other
States of the Union.
The Attorney-General, for the Government;
maintains that the tax is not a direct tax,
being neither a tax on land nor slaves, or
other capitation tax A direct tax is in its na
ture capable of apportionment, without creating
great inequality and injustice in the application
of the rule; and it is obvions that this tax is
not capable of apportionment among tho States,
as required by the Constitution. It is, there
fore, an indirect tax, and falls ultimately npon
the consumer of the article in its manufactured
state, and not upon the producer, of whom the
tax is exacted. It is insisted that it is not a tax
on exports, bnt an excise tax and uniform
throughout the country. The fact that more
than half the cotton produced in the country is
exported to a foreign country has nothing to do
with the constitutionality of the law. That does
not depend upon the state of trade; and if Con
gress cannot constitutionally tax any commodi
ty, if some part of it is annually exported, it can
not lay any excise tax at all on commodities
withfiut providing for a draw-back in case of ex
portation. Snch a construction nullifies the
power of Congress to lay excise taxes, and is
myiifestly erroneous.
An array of eminent counsel appear in the
case, the plaintiff in error being represented by
P. Philips, Albert Pike, R. W. Johnson, (form
erly Senator from Arkansas,) James Hughes,
W. F. Sharkey. E. R. ''’nrtis and R. Topp. The
Government is represented by Attorney-Gene
ral Hoar and Assistant Attorney-General Field.

Collision at Sea Between Hie Brltisb
Ship Golconda and tho American
Brig E. A. Carver.
We are indebted to Captain-Davis, of the
Golconda, for the following facts regarding the
collision, at sea between his vessel and the
American brig Annie E. Carver, which caused
the abandonment of the latter. The Golconda
was bound from New Orleans to Liverpool with
a cargo of cotton, sailing on the first instant.
The captain reports that at half-past 4 o’clock,
on tho morning of the 11th instant, the wind
being east by north, the ship heading north by
east, he saw a light on the port bow, close
aboard; he immediately ordered the wheel to
be put hard-a-port and brought the ship as close
as possible to the wind. Those on board the
brig hailing him, asked him to keep his ship off,
which he could not then possibly do, and a col
lision took place—the Golconda striking the
brig about the knights heads, on her starboard
side, carrying her bowsprit and locking both
vessels together. In consequence of the heavy
sea which was running, the brig’s foremast
broke at the deck, carrying away the Golconda’s
jib-boom, figure-head, gear, sails, back ropes,
and both backstays, starting the cut water, fore
channels, and causing various other damage,
sails destroyed, etc. Every exertion was made
by the officers and crew of the two vessels to
get tho brig clear by cutting the stays (wire),
and about half past five o’clock of the same day,
got clear of her. The captain and crew of the
brig were taken on board the Golconda, after
securing the Golconda’s bowsprit temporarily,
several hours were spent in endeavoring to take
tho brig in tow, but it was impossible to get a
hawser fast to her because of the heavy sea
running. At the captain’s request, the Golcon
da remained by the brig until four o’clock, to
give him time to secure his effects, which ho
succeeded in doing. The captain decided to
abandon the brig although she made no water.
At the time of the collision tho Golconda’s
lights were burning, and were kept so from
dark until daylight. The cause of the occur
rence was purely the neglect on the part of the
captain of the brig in not obeying the rules of
the rood at sea. Tho brig's boat—tho only one
she had—was saved and brought to Savannah.
Tho brig E. A. Carver, Captain Sylvester,
was bound from Cardenas to St. Mary's, Ga., in
ballast, and had a crew consisting of the mate
and six hands. There were also two ladies on
board. All of whom were brought to Savannah
by the Golconda. The brig was owned by H.
W. Bracket, Setli G. Wyman, and others of
Maine, and was partially insured. She was 273
tons burthen.
The names of tho two ladies are Mrs. B. W.
Sylvester (wife of the first mate) and Mrs. WalL
Savannah Republican.

“Carpc IJIem.”
Enjoy the present, whatever it may be, and
be not solicitous of the future: for if yon take
your foot from its present standing and thrust
it toward to-morrow’s end, you are in a restless
condition. It is like refusing to quench yonr
present thirst for fear the cooling draft may be
wanting the next day. H it is well to-day, it is
madness to make the present miserable by fear
ing it may be ill to-morrow. He is wise who
enjoys as much of this world as his circum
stances will admit of, and buries all its cares in
oblivion’s shade. If only the troubles of one
day oppress him, he will probably be able to
sustain them. “Sufficientunto the day is the
evil thereof,” bnt not intolerable. But if we
look abroad and bring into one day’s thoughts
the evils of many, certain and uncertain, what
will be and what will never be, onr burden will
not only bo intolerable bnt unreasonable.
What is the nse to be taming aside from
pleasure’s syren call to pursue the transient
bubbles strewn on life’s pathway from the cra
dle to the grave, and teaching ambition’s soar
ing wing where all its flights must end.
This world is one of few joys at best; only a
few fleeting years of toil and disappointment
given us in which to prepare for a happier, and
it is wise to make the best of it. There are mys
teries in the daTk future not intended to be re
vealed to man, and he shonld be content with
the knowledge that an allv Proridence has
bestowed on him. Those who are exerting
themselves to unravel the fntnre and to find out
their destiny are only adding to the eup of sor
row which they are participants of, and to the
chain of misfortunes of which they are a link.
This iS a mystery Which, in the economy of Di
vine Providence, is not revekled to man. It is
known only to Omnipotence, who affirms in
command, that we must take no thought for the
morrow; for we know not what a day may
bring forth.
Many plan out with vivid imagination a fu
ture too bright and beautiful ever to be realized.
They make life a brilliant scene of continual en
joyment. How few have their brighf dreams
realized? How few of these airy castles but
what fall to the ground, turning the heads and
crashing the hearts of many? Their wild fan
cies are too often like the blasted rose, which
when first beheld with its tiny bud embosomed
among the green leaves, onr hearts are thrilled
with admiration. We watch long and anxionslr
for the first blessom; each day it expands mor«
and more the folds of its robes, and displays thi
beautiful tints beneath; but when it seemed
Just ready to burst into perfected beauty, it sud
denly dropped to the earth. From this a lesson
may be learned; beantifnl emblem of the delu
siveness of the bnds of hope which ambition’s
towering stem has pictured on the imagination.
If we wonld be happy, and enjoy the fleeting
moments allotted to ns in this life, we must
learn not to repine at misfortunes, nor envy
the happiness of another, since it is impossible
for any one to form a correct idea of his neigh
bors sufferings. If all the calamities of man
kind were cast into one pile in order to be eqn
ally distributed among all; those who now
think themselves the moat unhappy, wonld pre
fer the share they are already possessed of, be
fore that which wonld fall to them by such a
division. Ne ccdemalis.
The wealth and fashion of this worll passeth
away. Why toil so incessantly for them? They
do not add to our hapiness. “Riches profit not
in the day of wealth.” A moderate competence
is all we shonld crave. If the world woild be
content with this, we wonld find more happy
faces, more people enjoying life than do.—
How many toil day and night, without rest,
either body or mental, all for the accursed
thirst for gold that perisheth. Wo shonld all
work some, for “labor ipse voluptas,” bnt there
is time enough for pleasant recreation, for an
occasional social chat with a neighbor. “All
work and no play makes Jack a dml boy.”
Equally unwise is it to be looking back gath
ering up trouble with which to .burden our
hearts. Think not of former pleainres or dis
appointments; the remembrance' of which
has a tendency to lengthen one’ti face, and
spread over it an air of unhappiness. Let the
past go for what it brought, and look (head with
glowing anticipations, always viewinglhe bright
side of everything. There is never if> bo seen
a cheerful smiling countenance am«ng those
who are always harping over every petty trifle
that intercepts their routine of joys. *
Many are the pictures that hang on memory’s
wall; some sad, some joyful, some mggesting
pleasing emotions, others fraught wilh mourn
ful remembrances of the past. Lot ns divest
these walls of some of their borderland only
leave their ornaments. The brightest scenes of
life are not exempt from cares. Thesweetest
rose has its thorns; but we must look only up>-
on its beantifnl traits, inhale its delightful per
fumes, unmindful of the piercing thoi^i that lies
concealed beneath it.
If you would be happy yourselves, always en
joying tho bliss of contentment; if you would
bo" agreeable to others, enjoy yonr present mo
ments, leaving eaoh day to shift for itself.—
Vive, vale. <[| j Idyl.

Columbus had her heaviest cotton receipts
of one day last Thursday, which jvere 1167
bales. Macon’s heaviest day this year was 1148.
Total cotton receipts of Columbns to Friday
were 41,409 bales; shipments, 28,719'; stock on
hand 12,690. Macon is about ten thousand
bales ahead of Columbns, so far.
Not Contracting.—The Columbus Sun of
the 17th reports that many freed men were in
the city the day previous, and says the crowds
of whites and blacks appear increasing daily.
Farmers say the negroes are becoming more pru
dent than heretofore, but they are not willing,
as a rule, to make contracts until after Christ
mas, nor are planters endeavoring to any great
extent to hire. As yet hardly any offers have
been made.
Maoox and Augusta Railroad.—The Au
gusta Constitutionalist learns that track laying
will soon be commenced on the gap betwe en Mil-
ledgevillo and Macon. The first ship load of
rails is expected to arrive at Charleston about
the first of January next, and very soon after
another cargo at Brunswick to be transprorted
over the Brunswick Road to Macon, when the
track laying will be pushed forward from both
ends of the road.
Small-Pox in Henry County.—The Consti
tution says that the small-pox is raging in Henry
county, about six miles east of Jonesboro. Two
ladies, Mrs. Garrett and Mrs. Wright, have
died.
Rev. Db. Evans.—The Union Springs Times
thus alludes to the sermon of Bev. Dr. James
E. Evans in the Baptist Chnrch at that place
last Sunday:
“This gentleman’s sermon on Sunday last, at
the Baptist Chnrch, was the means of forcing
tears to eyes long dry from hardness of heart in
many—all, we might say—who heard the elo
quent discourse. Having in the past often lis
tened to the preaching of this earnest, unpre
tending man of God, whose soul is engaged in
the work of doing good, and who has spent long,
long years in bus Master’s service, we cannot
recall a single instance in which he failed to
make a deep impression npon onr heart. We
know the man, we love him, and would to God
there were thousands such as T$e in the ministry
to-day.” ’
IMPORTANT FROM WASHINGTON.
Intereatinflr. Official Statements In Regard
to Cotton Production.
The following is what the Commissioner of
Agriculture says in his annual report, just out,
under the head of “Southern Agriculture
“The continued high price of cotton has
made its culture more profitable than at any
former period, and the crop of 1868 has yielded
a larger amount of money than that of 1859.
The yield of the past year exceeded very slight
ly the estimate of this Department, which was
2,3S0,000 bales. The present season has wit
nessed great activity in this culture, an increase
of area cultivated, and more general and gen
erous fertilization, and has also been character
ized by drought in the seaboard States, and
other causes of diminished production, which
have modified the expectations of planters; yet
the crop will exceed that of last year, and may
reach 2,700,000 bales.
“I regret to observe, from official correspon
dence and during a brief tour through the cot
ton States, the tendency to neglect other crops
and concentrate all available labor and capital
npon a single product, however profitable. The
inevitable result will be moTe cotton and small
er net returns in money after the purchase of
needed supplies, and, as a further result, aslower
improvement of neglected lands. This bane of
Southern agriculture is still operative, and may
cease to exist only when low prices, disaster
and despondency shall ngain arrest the impolit
ic and irrational coarse of prodaction. I would
not advise an attempt to keep up prices by lim
iting the yield; a somewhat larger supply of
tho staple is needed in the markets of the world;
the present rates cannot be* sustained indefi
nitely ; bnt I would not foster the suicidal plan
ror cheapening the money-producing crop while
fendering dearer every other that must be pur
chased as an auxiliary of its prodaction.
“It is gratifying, however, to note the in
crease of cotton manufactures in the cotton re
gion, their flourishing condition, their large
dividends, and the quality of their yarns and
fabrics. Operatives are easily obtained at reas
onable wages, becoming readily inured to habits
of systematic industry, and rapidly acquiring
the requisite skill. . At the commencement of
the present year there were eighty-six cotton
mills reported from Southern States to t}ho Na
tional Association of Cotton Manufacturers and
Planters, running 225,063, spindles, consuming
31,415.750 pounds. The following are details
of returns from the cotton States:

“The cotton manufactured in the United
States in 1860 was 422,975 pounds; in 1868, by
these returns, 450,000,000 pounds. At the
former date the home consumption was twenty
per cent, of the crop; it is now forty per cent.
As the ratio of consumption shall be further in
creased, the prosperity of the country and of
the cotton section will advance.
“The sugar interest is rapidly attaining its
former proportions. A disposition is indicated
to extend its culture beyond the cane plantations
of the Mississippi River to Florida, Southern
Georgia and Texas. Fruit culture is gaining a
prominence which it never before enjoyed;
vineyards of hundreds of acres in extent have
been established, and orchards of thousands of
acres, with groves of oranges and other tropical
fruits. There is evidence of progress also in
the nse of improved agricultural implements,
tho employment of fertilizers, and in the mental
activity and spirit of inquiry whioh are moving
tho rural mind of this section.”—Charleston
News.
A Jnnip From llie Steeple of Notre
Dame.
The Paris correspondent of tho New York
World says:
The Morgue stands almost in the shadow of
Notro Dame de Paris, and the poor corpse had
not far to be carried. The chnrch towers are
204 feet in height, the new spire 280 feet. The
man I sought was the only occupant of the
Morgue. Ho was stretched on one of its dozen
benches, which are shut from the spectators by
a glass partition, with a little stream of water
percolating on his head, and a dark rag spread
across his loins. Otherwise, he was perfectly
nude. His years must have ranged from fifty
to sixty.- A brownish complexion, black eyes,
gray hair, neatly and recently cut, and a stature
of about five feet six inches were his character
istics. His eyes were wide open and fixed in a
look of scornful resignation, and his face and
head were evidently those of an educated think
er. I shonld have set him down, had I met him
living, as a lawyer or professor of some educa
tional establishment. His clothing did not seem
to appertain to the condition in life that I have
suggested; tho shoes were new, but suen as
might be worn by the vulgar. There were no
papers npon him by which he could be recog
nized. The great fall had very little disfigured
the appearance of the corpse His spine was
broken in several places, but as he lay on his
back we did not see these wounds. His right
arm, however, was black with the braises from
the ends of the fingers to above the elbow.
Beyond this there was no mark of injury visible
to the public.
The Reconstruction of Georgia.—Mr.
Carpenter, (Rep. Wis.), from the Committee on
the Judiciary, reported, on the 13th, Mr. Mor
ton’s bill to perfect the reconstruction of Geor
gia, with amendments.
The bill, as amended, provides for convening
the old Legislature on a certain day, to be
named by the Governor. Its organization shall'
be effected by summoning all persons elected to
the General Assembly of the State, as appears
by the proclamaticn of General Meade, dated
June 25th, 1S69, and excluding all persons in
eligible under the Fourteenth Amendment. No
person shall be refused a seat in the Legislature
on account of race, color, or previous condition
of servitude. The President is authorized to
employ, on application-of the Governor, the
military and naval forces of the United States
to enforce the provisions of this act. Finally,
it is provided that the Legislature of Georgia
shall be regarded as provisional only, until the
further action of Congress.

The Cotton Tax.—A dispatch to the New
York World says:
The argument of the cotton tax before the
Supreme Court has been finished, Mr. Hoar and
Mr. Field speaking for tho government, and P.
Phillips, of this city, and Benjamin B. Curtis,
of Boston, against the constitutionality of the
tax. The sum involved in this particular case
is only twenty-five hundred dollars, bnt the total
amount to be affected by the decision is estima
ted as high as twenty millions of dollars. It
does not follow, however, even if the nnconsti-
tutionality of the tax be affirmed by the conrt,
that this entiro sum will be at once refunded.
Probably only the moneys will be promptly re
funded where the parties made regular protest
and appeal as required by law. • It is conjec
tured that this has been done in comparatively
few cases; bnt if tbe decision be averse to the
tax, it will follow that all this money has been
wrongfully taken and it will be the duty of Con
gress to provide for its repayment. Some mem
bers say tbis will be done. In the debate on the
repeal of the tax, it was conceded that the tax
was only defensible as a war measure.
The Southern Christian Advocate comes
out in new type and makes a very tasteful ap
pearance. We copy from it the following per
sonal item:
Bishop Pierce returned last week from Ar
kansas ; bnt came near meeting a serious acci
dent," near Madison, when within a hundred
miles of his home. A rail broke—and the oar
he was in—the rear car—ran some distance on
the gronnd, and over the cross-ties, shaking
up the passengers considerably. We learn that
they all escaped, with a few braises.
The Colored Conference.—Tho Southern Meth
odist Conference (colored) has been in session in
this city at the City Hall, since Thursday last,
Bishop George F. Pierce presiding. About two hun
dred colored mirraters of the chnrch havo been in
attendance, quite a number of whom are from Flor
ida. Tho Conference adjourns to day. We under
stand that Bishop Pierce will preach to the colored
ministers and people this morning at 19% o’clock in
tho City Hall.

WHY is it that so many children die .under the

of remark, and without a satisfactory cause ascer

Also, it is known that worms exist in the human
system from its earliest infancy: therefore parents,
especially mothers, who are more constantly with
their children, cannot be too observing of the first
symptoms of worms; for so surely as they exist, can
they be

AGUE AND FEVER,

Tho proprietor of thi3 celebrated medicine justly
claims for it a superiority overall other remedies
ever ofifcrcd to thc-public for the safe, certain,
speedy and permanent cure of Airue and Fever, or
Chill-.'Hint Fever, whether of short or long standing.
He refers to the entire Western and Southwestern
country to bear him testimony to the truth of the
assertion, that in no case-whatever will it fail to
cure, if the directions are strictly followed and car
ried out. In a great many cases a single dose has
been sufficient for a cure and whole families have
been cured by a single bottle, with a perfect resto
ration of the general health. It is, however, pru
dent,and in every case more certain to cure, if its nse
is continued in smaller doses • for a week or two af
ter tho dDease lias been cheeked, more especially
in difficult and long standing cases. Usually this
medicine will not require any aid to keep the bow

three or four dos, s of the Tonic, a single dose of
Ball’s Vegetable Family Pills will be sufficient.

BULL’S WORM DESTROYER
2b My United States and World- wide Headers:
I have received many testimonials from profess

publications have shown, all of which are genuine.
The following letter from a highly educated and
popular physician in Georgia, is c ertainiy one o
the most sensible communications I have ever re
ceivcd. Dr. Clement knows exactly what he speak
of, and his testimony deserves to be written in let
ters of gold.’ Hear .what the Doctor says of Ball’s
Worm Destroyer.
Viiaakow, Walker Co., Ga., June 29.
Dr. John Bull—Dear Sir—I have recently given
yonr Worm Destroyer several trials, and find it
wonderfully efficacious. It has not failed in a sin
gle instance to have the wished for effect. I am
doing a pretty large country practice and have
daily use for 6ome article of the kind. I am free to
confess that I know of no remedy recommended
by the ablest authors that is so certain e~d speedy
in its effects. On the contrary they are uncertain
in the extreme. My object in writing you is to
find out upon what terms I can get tho medicine
directly from yog. If I can get it upon easy terms
I shall use a great deal of it. I am aware that the
use of snch articles is contrary to tho teachings and
practice of a great majority of the regular lino of
M. D.’s, but I see no just cause or good sense in
discarding a remedy which we know to be efficient
simply becansc we may be ignorant of its combi
nation. For my part I shall make it a rule to uso
all and any means to alleviate suffering humanity
which I may be able to command; not hesitating
because some one_morc ingenious than mysclfmay
have learned its effects first and secured the sole
right to secure that knowledge. However, I am
by no means an.advoeate or supporter of the thous
ands of worthless nostrums that flood the country,
that purport to cure all manner of disease to which
human flesh is heir. Please reply soon, and inform
me of your best terms.
I am, sir, most respectfully,

statement of my case.
I was wounded about two years ago; was taken
prisoner and confined for sixteen months. Being
moved so often, my wounds have not healed yet.
I have not sat up a moment since I was wounded.
I am shot through the hips. My general health is

Dr. Bull—Dear Sir—My husband, Dr. C. S. John

tral New York, where he died, leaving the above
C. P. Johnson to my care. At 13 years of age he
had% chronic diarhea and scrofula, forwhichlgave
him your Sarsaparilla. It cured him. I have for
ten years recommended it. to many in New York,
Ohio and Iowa, for scrofula, fever sores and gen

cures effected in some cases of scrofula and fever
sores were almost miraculous. I am very anxious
