Poverty or the Nonthrrw It tales.
From the Chicago Tribune ]
A correspondent of tbe New York Tribune
has oolJocted from tbe census reports of 1870
an exhibit of the value of property in the South
ern Stales. The comparison w.th the values of
If CO, as shown by the oenana of that year,
makes n startling showing of the impoverish.-
ment of the Bomb within the put decade —
There are few men at the present day who will
csre to dispose of the whole question by decid
ing tbe imporeriihment to be a just visitation
upon toe South for the sins of the rebellion.—
Practical men will rather atop to consider that
the burden of this Joes falls upon the entire
country, and inquire into the cause cf it It
cermet Lb traced to the emancipation of the
slaves. There is only ono other cause that can
account for this wholesale Impoverishment, and
that is (o be found In the abases incident to re
construction. These abase* may be summed
op under two general heads: (L) The diver,
aion of a large proportion of the colored peo
ple from systematic industry, and (2), tbe ril-
lalnies of carpet-bagiam. But the people of
the North cannot afford to have this prooeis of
impoverishment continue. The difference of
$5,000,000,000 in property values at the South,
including the actual d-proeiation sud-the stop
page of natural increase, means a withdrawal
111 that imnnt of lit paying resources. This
withdrawal of taxes, which tbe Southern S:at<s
. f-t pay under favorable circumstances,
throws jast that additional burden upon the
tax-paying property of theNorth. In tbia view
of tbe cose, tbe support of tbe carpet-bag gov*
ernmeutd of the Southern States falls proior-
tionotely upon every tsx-payerin the Northern
Suites.
Tbe Tribune take* a characteristic view of
tbs matter. It counts for nothing all tbe vil
lainy, and injustice and oppression (hat have
attends! this impoverishment, and in it sees
only the fact that an additional harden is
throWn npon Northern tax-payers. That is so
like the average Northern man even of some
what genorona impulses. Ho wouldn't care a
continental for the South a as sufferer, provided
that fact didn't entail monetary hardens npon
himself. Or in other word), if the Sonth oonld
be made to boir alt her troubles on her own
shoulder*, she might go bang for either sym
pathy or assistance from hor Northern brethren.
Ah.' how they do love ns—these brethren. It
ought to melt the most rebellious heart into a
Rush of doable distilled loyity to bear snch talk.
TBE UEOIttilA PRESS.
“rieanrlant.”
I Tbe Naw York Herald, after a long and atren-
nons effort to arouso the “sensitive mind and
conscience of tbe nation" to the dangers of im
perialism nnder Grant, indefinitely re-eiected,
confesses (barf, upon extended inquiry, there is
no alarm npon tbe subject, but, on the whole,
the poople rather like Cm isrism than otherwise.
Says that paper:
“Onr correspordints have hsd interviews
wilh tbo editors of tbe principal journals
tbroeghont tho country, and wo present them
as the concentration of American tbonght npon
tbe proposition for giving Gen. Grant a third
term and tbe evils wbicii may spring from a
policy no mistaken. TboBD interviews show the
many-Bided opinions of a many-sided people,
and it will have tbe effect, besides, of forcing
men to lieiievo that there is in the Republican
parly a deep laid scheme looking to Grant’s
second re-election, and that an apathy exists
ruing tbe poople which would not make a
uonareby or an empire impossible. Indeed,
Mr. Cownrdm, of the Richmond Dispatch, ex
pressly declares his satisfaction at the prospect
of an empire. In tbo Month tbe feeling is per
haps mote gtnorsl than in the North, for the
crushed and oppressed condition of the Sonth-
ern Stales nnder the present Administration
makes the people of that section anxious to bo
freed from the domination of the Republican
party. With an empire established the obiiter.
ation of party line* wonid quickly follow. In
tbo Noth an empire would not be weioomed,
imt it is likely that it wonid bo acquiesced in,
Ibn money interests of late years exerting great
influence against frequent politieal ebanges
and in favor of n strong centralized govern
ment. Oo all bands wo see evidences of Cnrr-
arlim, which impel ns to keep np the battle
against looming despotism."
Wo may say tbo South foals something like
an irrepressible disgnst with all kinds of Fed
eral politics. They amonnt to nothing in the
only particular in which they could be satisfac
tory—that Is to say, in restoring the country to
the domain of cocstitntional law. All our
polities are therefore comprehended in Ihe single
purpose of protecting onr State revenues from
robbery and maintaining pcaco and order at
home. As to onr Northern brethren any kind
of government suits them which docs not inter
fere with trade. Can* Grant is joat as good as
President Grant, provided trade gics on.
t'liangiug tlio Presidential Election
Senator Morton is busy in Washington amend
ing the Constitution so- as (o change the mode
of electing the President of the United States.
He says he wonid prefer to have tbe President
elec It d by tbe people of (ho United States as one
oommnuity—tho man who gets the greatest
number of votes pockctiDg tbe orown. Bat as
ha fears tbo States will not consent to being
igoored altogether, ho proposes to ent tbem np
Into eleotion' districts, oach Congressional dis
trict making ono Election District. If the Sen
ator will cnly provide that each State nominate
and eleot one man at this election and tho thirty-
seven then draw straws among themselves for
the office, we might go with him. This would
smash the party States onco every fonr years,
and break np an iron-handed tyranny.
.etler or Col. Frobel on the Canal
(location.
’Atlosts, Angosi 14, 1873.
Tbe undersigned was confined at home when
tbe reply to his articlo on (he Atlanlio and
Great Weatern Canal was published in tho Sa
vannah Morning News, by sickness in his fam
ily, sud that paper never reached his eye. At
(□taro period bo will consider and refnlo the
statements made, which are vulnerable almost
in every point.
Tho enclosed letter, addressed by Col. Fro*
bd to the News, bnt ntcer jmbluhed, has been
banded him by that gentleman with tbe request
that it be given to the public. The project under
consideration is of tbe greatest importance in
national point of view, but more especially to
Georgia and yonr own city, situated, as she is,
at tho debouching point of tho eanal into Oc-
mnlgco river. All tbe light that can bo thrown
upon the subject is desirable, and in justice to
Got Frobel and tbo writer of tbi*, too, it should
be published.
Fraternally yours, 1L H. J.
Atuivta. August 5, 1873.
Editor of Vie Morning Artrs: My attention
has been directed to an editorial in your issue
of the 1st inah, entitled “The Gulf Coast
Water Lino versus The Atlantio and Great
Western Canal,* in which several statements
(unintentional no donbt) ore mtdo well calcu
lated to mislead those who havo not fully in
vestigated the subject under discussion. I en
close you by to-day'a mail a copy of the pro
ceedings of tbe convention called by Governor
Smith lor the purpose of considering this ques
tion of cheap transportation. I have marked
two articles, viz: the report of the Committee
on Commerce of tbe Cqited States House of
Representatives, snd a paper submitted by Ma
jor Walter McFarland, United States Engineer
Corps, who was charged by the government
with the survey of the Atlantio and Great
Western cinri. Major MeFarland is spoken of
by the President in his last annual message as
»n engineer of Ihe highest attainments, and
his opinion will doubtless be received as worthy
of credit. I have no doubt the fairueis you
profess iO feel in the discussion of this matter
will prompt vou to give both of these docu
ments in fall'to yonr readers cheerfully.
You staie, upon authority no: green, that the
oost of the proposed eanal will be one hundred
and seventy-fire millions of dollar*! Will you
kindlv tell uc who is your authority for thi*
statement? Msjor McFarland give* the cost,
from sc mol survey, at thirty million* of dol
lars, and this estimite includes the improve
ment of the Muscle Shoal* and the clearing
on: of the Tennessee, the Coota, and the Oo-
mulgee rivers also.
1 hope yon will favor the public at an early
day with ths official reports of the survey*
made bv United States engineers npon the pro
poned ‘•Gulf Water Line." The people may
possibly demand the JiicU before being foroed
to draw such a line of comparison between the
two routes ns will involve tbe endorsement of
the one and the condemnation *of tbs other.
You slate that the Atlanta convention waa a
stupendous failure! Will you have the kind-
ness to tell us in what ? and also inform ns in
wbst particular that convention failed to meet
the purposes for whioh it was called ?
It ia not considered a failure by its friends,
either in this State or in other part* of the
oountrv. B. W. Fsobel,

Tux Constitutionalist says formers in the
vicinity of Augusta are complaining of too
much rain, with its resulting oonscquonces of
rust and caterpillar*.
Tux summer residence of tbe late William J.
Eire, near Augusta, was burned on Saturday
morning, causing a lost of $2,000, which Is fully
covered by insurance.
Tax Constitutionalist tells the following story:
At the eonferenoe at Cokesbury, 8. C., last
week, tho matter of preachers using tobacco
was diacnased as unbecoming, and calculated to
do harm to the rising generation by the influ
ence of a bad example. One of tbe members
soon quished proceedings by requesting the
brethren to hand over their tobacco to him.
Strange to sty, not another word was said
about tobacco, snd a very thin collection of
fine cut and twist was lifted.
Wk learn from the Chronicle and Sentinel
that the recent Catholio excursion from Augus
ta to Milledgeville, realized $1,875 as Us nett
proceeds.
The editor of the Athens Georgian is “ashy.”
He says if a certain editor in that section, whom
he names in full, “was thrown into a ditch full
of gentlemanly principles, he ia too mean for a
single one of thorn to slick to him.” The
fnneral will doubtless be largely attended.
Tnoxus McDasizx. and Richard Wheeler,
citizens of Franklin county, died very suddenly
last Saturday of heart disease.
The Thomuton Herald has the following :
Lightnino Steuck.—On Sunday night list
while the olonds were showering their contents
npon the earth, we are informed that lightning
struck a bouse on the plantation of Mr. Weaver,
of Monroe county, end burned it up. A negro
woman and some children were in the house
and the woman was burned np, but the chil
dren were rescued. It is supposed that the
lightning so stnnned the woman that sho was
nuable to got onL
Mu. Ass Bbuce, of Morgan county, was
drowned last Saturday in a mill pond. He was
bathing, and was seiz’d wilh a fit and sank Im
mediately.
CoxtiDZBtBLX sickness.is reported in tbe up
per portion of Upson connty, and several
deaths have occurred.
Mb. A. B. Asdersojj, a prominent merchant
of Americas, died last Friday.
A Patino Bciisxss.—The Covington Enter
prise has these items:
W. W. Clark A Co.’s Nursery, sitaaled a few
miles northeast of Covington, is now shipping
abont 1,000 pounds of grapes per day, besides
supplying the home market. We understand
they will probably be able to ship 10,000 pounds
daring the present season. This Is a most grat
ifying reward for the enterprise and labors of
these gentlemen, who have far several years
been striving to bnild up this new, sod now re
munerative, branch of industry, upon the worn-
out hills of our ocuoty. Their grapes are of
the finest and best varieties adapted to this
olimate, or known in the Southern market,
and sell at 15 cents per pound, by the crate, in
Atlanta.
A roBTr of young men set np wilh a corpse
at tho residence of Mr. O. L. Bowker, on last
Honday night. Although the subject is a deli
cate one, yet the behavior of tlireo of those
yonng men should he known, and laying tbeir
foolish threats aside, we propose to treat the
affair fearlessly. One of these heartless crea
tures, for the merriment of his associates, and
to tile disgnst of the more refined present, car
ried the ooflin abont the room in his arms, and
acted in a diegraocful manner daring the entire
evening.
Tnx Thomasten Herald says the core crop of
that section Is fully made, and is as large as was
ever raised. Ditto tho Camilla Enterprise of
the orop down there.
Nathan Robinson, negro, roped a little gill
of the samo color last week, in Mitchell connty,
ami now boards with the jailor of the connty.
Robinson split an old woman's head open with
a shovel only a few days before, so the prospect
of his ionkiog throngh a rope window, or loara-
iog railroading the rest of bis life, is very
encouraging.

that a very serious difficulty occurred on last
Saturday at Eberhard’s store, in tbe Goosepond
district of Ogletborpo county. The facts, as

yonng man named Sfribling, who wa? riding
along tbe road. Stribling, very rnnoh enraged,
drew a pistol and shot tbe negro tbrongh tbe
arm. The rest of the negroes immediately
rushed npon Stribling, knocked him from bis
horse, and eat And beat him very seriously.
Two negroes who lived near him rescued him,
or be wonid have been murdered on tbe^ spot.
Hia sknll ia fractared. And, on Sanday, hie re

cles to be exhibited by the oonntv societies
contesting for a premium in “Department
of tbe premium list of 1873—free of
charge—to toe Fair at Maoon and baok
to the place of shipment. It was express
ly agreed by yonr committee and the rail
road authorities that the roads wonid
assume no responsibility, and that they should
not be liable for ADy lose or damage for any
article so shipped by them, that as they charged
nothing for tbe service they should take no
risk. It ia further agreed that tbe county so
cieties thonld load and unload the can, and
that the oonnty societies appoint reliable per

who should also be free tiom charge. The an-
thoritiea cf the different roads signified their
willingness to make the usual terms as to all
other articles sent to the Fair for exhibition,
and one fare for visitors.
Could we have seen the authorities of tbe Air
Line railroad, Romo railroad and Atlantic and
Gnlf railroad, we donbt not but that they would
have consented to tbe tame arrangement, and
express the belief that they yet will give their
aid in advancing this great interest.
We hasten to make the report, that every

SUNDAY’S DISPATCHES.
Great Railway laauerfi.
Chicago, August 17.—An accident occurred
last night near Lsmont on tho Chicago and Al
ton railroad—an in-coming freight train collid
ing with the Sound Express passenger train,
aim oat entirely wrecking the latter—killing
outright and fearfully injuring thirty-eeven,
many of whom will die. The ears eanght fire
and number* of the injured were homed badly.
0±ere were scalded by hot water from the loco
motive’s boiler, and surgeons have been sent

Further from the Railroad Accident.
Chicaoo t August 17.—The dead from the
Chicago and Alton aocident are 11; wounded
35. No Southerners on the list. The fatal
itica were confined to the smoking and second

took fire is incorrect. The regular passenger
cosche3 and sleepers escaped. .Three of a par
ty from Duck’s Island, Maine, were badly
scalded.

Additional acccnnts of the railroad accident
ou tbe Chicago and Alton road state that the
train started from Willow StatioD, according to
tbe best evidence, ten minutes behind time, and
it is customary on this road tb make up lea;
time. Undoubtedly tho rule of speed was some
what accelerated. Tbe conductor and engineer
knew they were to pt-si the coal train at Le-
mont, seven miles distant, bnt unhappily that
train did not wait, as it should havo done, but
came on toward the passenger tram, expecting
to make Willow S:ation.
It was a race for life. The cordactor and
engineer cf the coal train knew that the passen
ger train, laden with precious live3, was in front,
aDd if they did not reach the switoh by a cer
tain time collision was inevitable’.
Both trains were rushing towards their de
struction as they flew over tue iron way through
daikness, the speed increasing at every revolu
tion of the wheels.
There were three concussions felt—first,
when the engines met and were destroyed;
second, when the baggage cars struck and
were smashed into fragments, and third, when
the smoking car collided and leaped into the
air, alighting on the fraciured boiler. Tbe en
gine was thrown from tbe track toward the
east, and bo were Ihe rums of the baggage car.
Then came the amoking car.on top of the boil
er. The fore part of this car waa burst open
by the force with which it struct—th. hind
rrneels remaining on the trade. There it Ftood
at an angle of 30 deg, Ihe passengers impris
oned in the broken iron end wood, while the
deadly steam came up with terrific force from
the boiler below—scalding those whom it
(cached—instantly pee'iog off ibe skin and
causing the most excrutiauag agony. One mo
ment waa sufficient to cause dea:h; but many
were there seTeral minutes before being extri
cated. One breath was fatal, tbe inner surface
of the chest and lungs being fearfully scorehed.
Cincaoo, August 18.—The blame for the
Chicago and Alton accident attaches to the
engineer and conductor of the ooal train, who
moved contrary to the regulations. They bare
disappeared.

Ravages of the Caterpillar.
The Eofaola Times reports that on the prai
rie farms between Union Springs and Mont
gomery, the caterpillar is very dentructive—on
many of the fields not the vestige of a leaf re
maining. The Montgomery Advertiser reports
that the caterpillars, whore unchecked by poison,
make a olean sweep of the fields in half the time
they ever did before. The recent rains have
vaehed off the poison in many instances and
left the stalk free for fresh attacks. In refer
ence to the efficacy of the poison, the Albany
News prints the following letter:
Albant, Ga.. Angust 14,1873.
Mettrt. L. E. tC 11. E. WeUk :
Deab Sies—Yon ask that I give a statement
as to the results of the application of the cater,
pillar destroyer prepared by yon.
I have nsed it npon three hundred acres, kill
ing the caterpillar in every instance, and that
without injury to the plant. If uset wilh ordi
nary care no injury will ever occur. I think the
size of tbe plant should govern the amount used
—abont twenty ponuds being tbe average. I
shall use the destroyer on abont six hundred
seres more; fully satisfied that it will prevent
the caterpillar from doing any material barm.
I shall reapply the destroyer on about 100
acres. This cotton, when I applied the destroy
er, was growing very rapidly, and npon the top
leaves—new growth—the caterpillar has reap
peared, and in my opinion, another light appli
cation will effectually destroy the worm.
Upon 300 acreR I do not believe I have lost
five penoda of ootton by using tbe poison
while if left to this time without its nse, it
wonid have been materially damaged by tbe
caterpillar, and the 100 acres. to which 1 shall
reapply would have been destroyed.
Kespeotfully yours, B. G. Lockett.

Jell'. Davis Makes n Speech.
Richmond, Ya., Angnst 18.—Hon. Jefferson
Davis addressed the Southern Historical Con
vention, in session at Montgomery White 8nl-
pber Springs, to-day. He was introdnoed by
Governor Letoher, sod received standing amid
great applause. He returned thanks for this
nearly weloome to Virginia, where he always
felt weloome and where brave men were only
excelled in their deeds by tbe bravery and devo
tion of tbe women, whoso zeal and heroism
throughout the war ho highly praised. He
spoke of tbo objects of the hiatorioal society,
sod said that to write true history it must be
done by Southern men who koew the faots, and
that all material mnst be gathered for the pnr-
pote S:n:h. The action of the South in war
and tbe osuses that brought itoo might be fair
laid before mankind.
He spoke of old Jabal Early as oue who was
ever faitnfal throughout tbe war, and as being
the proper man to oarry out this great object.
He said we had been more oheatmi than con.
qtiered by tbe declarations of tbe Federal Pres
ident, Congress and Generals, for there never
could have been a surrender had we anticipated
what followed; and we woqld to-day have
been free. He still had hope of tbe canse.
Whatever the men might be, he never yet had
reconstructed woman; and while the
men of the day were mightier than the princi
ples for which they had struggled, he yet hoped
the children who succeeded tbem, wonid grow
np io maintain and perpetuate them, and re
deem all that we had tost.
Mr. Davis' remarks contain no Sentiments of
hostility to tbe Federal Government, but evinoe
earnest devotion to constitutional liberty
for which tbe Sonth had struggled. He was
listeced to with deep Interest, and freqnently
applauded.
A resolution offered by Admiral Semmes
that his Excellency President Grant be re
quested to permit the Secretary of this society
to examine all papers and tbe archives of the
Confederate Government captured by the Fed
eral forces from the Confederates oaring tbe

mav think fit, was adopted.
Tbe convention then adjourned and the His
torical Sooiety met. A resolution was adopted
admitting ladies who hsd lost relatives in the
war to membership of the society, and then ad
journed to meet in Riohmond at the call of tbe
President.

Escape Down the Bins Sing Prison
Lightning UoU.
When the oonvicts in tbe Bing Sing Prison
were called out of their cells for breakfast early
yesterday morning, William H. Retd, Daniel
Donovan, John Murphy and William Cullen
were missed from the ranks. The two former
and the two latter hr.d Keen paired in the oocn
panoy of colls, sndthtse were hurriedly visited.
They are on the Bixth tier, directly nnder the
roof, and adjoin eaoh other. They were found
empty, and the late occopants had cot gone
out through tho doors. The cell first examined
was the one in which Reed end Donovan had
been confined. At the first glance it showed
no disarrangement, but tbe officers on remov
ing the iron bedstead found a bcle throngh
the wall into Murphy's and Cullen’s cell. On
the floor lay a heap of bricks sod mortar, snd
in the bed was oonoealed more of tbe debris.
In the other cell, behind the door, which bad
concealed it, a bole had been dog through the
briok and Btone celling, a thickness of eighteen
inches. On the floor, in the oorner, were two
drills, a hammer and a steel bar, with whioh
the digging bad been done.
This hole in the ceiling led into a Ida- noosed
space under the roof. The oonvicts had groped
their way to one of tho four wooden ventilators
whioh project abevo the roof. The workjof
pushing ou: three of the wide slats had been
easy, and they had throngh the uppertnre
squeezed themselves out on the roof. The
slight inoline enabled them to reach tho eaves
without risk.
At that point the real danger of the under
taking began. The eaves are sixty feet from
the gronnd. The lightning rod pretonted
itself as the only means of downward transit,
and the oonvicts descended by it to the yard
below. 8o mnoh gained, tbe rest of tho feat
was not difficult. The railroad track is easily
accessible, and there is no barrier between the
prison yard and the rivtr or the hills—N. I".
