Cotton Still King*
tVlien the armies of the Confederacy
laid down tbeir arms and accepted the
condition* of the conqueror, the North
exultantly exclaimed “King Cotton is
dead!" The Confederates, mortified by
tbeir reverses, Ibelr'final defeat, and the
gloomy future which lay uninvitingly
before them, re-echoed the same excla
caution. The Northern armies disband
ed and retured to tbeir homes to reap
the benefits which they imagined had
accrued to them by their valor and their
success. But what did they find ? An
enormous national debt, which crushed
the working man and pampered up the
bondholders in luxuriant case and boun
teous plenty. The Northern soldiers
found their workshops closed; their im
mense cotton manufactories idle for
want of the raw material, which entailed
poverty uyl misery in its worst form.
Men who hnd fought to sustain the
Union, now found themselves reduced
to the most dire extremities. Capitalists
who were not fortunate enough to be
come bond-liolders could only stand idly
by and let the taxes of the government
consume tbeir living. Such was the re
sult in the North of the death of “King
Cotton.’’
The Confederates likewise returned to
their once happy abodes—to find them
in ruins! The spoiler had been there
had laid waste the land, and the freed
slaves were going to and fro committing
unheard-of atrocities, rendering the
"Sunny South’’ almost uninhabitable.
And to add more to the already too much
depressed spirits of the people ‘‘King
Cotton” had ceased to reign. But the
confederates had some of the old spirit
left. They could do nothing but make
cotton, and they began to males cotton
—throwing wlmt cotton they had on the
Northern markets. King Colton was
dead, yet unheard-of prices were paid
for this crop. Why ? Because the in
dustries of theNorlli had been paralyzed
and without cotton they would continue
to bo. The raw material being procured,
the mHnnfactories again resnme 1 their
work. The starving thousands began
to got their daily bread, and the sturdy
working men of the North began to reap
enperate. Her desolated fields com
menced to yield to tuo plow, and the
silken staple once more adorned the
land, and made glad the hearts of the
farmers. Northern men commenced to
court Southern favor and Southern
patronage, nud although weighted down
by the uujnst laws of a partizan Con
gress,and having saddled npon her State
governments that would shame the do
mains of Dnliomey, the -South began to
establish herself at ouce as a jxnrer in the
kind, and is to-day as prosperous as the
North. Why? Because cotton is still king.
Even a few weeks ago—before the
new crop was brought to market—the
factories of New England, in a great
measure, suspended operations for want
.of the raw material. Now they are run
ning. American cotton not only affects
New England, but it affects tho indus
tries of the world. King cotton built
up the North. In a moment of anger
they denied his sovereignty; bnt after
sober thought and a careful calculation
of dollars and cents they again invest
him with hiajust title.
If any one is still disinclined to con
fess the truth that "cotton is king,’’ and
a great Ling, his doubts ought to be re
moved by the statement of the Manches
ter Cotton Supply Association, which is
forced to acknowledge that ‘‘when the
great cotton crop of ISCti was made in
India, over one million three hundred
souls perished from starvation, produced
from putting lands in cotton which
should have been appropriated to bread
stuffs.” So also in Egypt, it is admitted
in 1865, “when a large attempt at cottou
growing was made, some 350,000 of the
population perished from actual starva
tion.** The product of American colton
last year was 3,000,000 bales. This year
the amount will be 3,500.000, and next
it ought to be 4,000,000, as it is discov
ered that white men and Chinese can
grow cotton as well ns colored people
As India, nor Egypt, nor Africa, nor
South America can meet the needed
supply of cotton, it is satisfactory to
know that the United States can. Mil
lions have been expended in exploring
other fields, only to show the greater
value of American cotton, which
Wow more of a king than before the war.
What, indeed, without it could the
United States do in the needed work of
reducing to a feeble extent the amount
of our debt in Europe ?
Halbert’s Press Excursion.
It will be remembered that on the
25th ult., Col. Halbert, Superintendent
of the Western and Atlantic Railroad,
left Atlanta with his excursion party
consisting of numerous members of the
Press, together with Bullock, and, of
course, some of bis minions.
The ostensible object of this excursion
was to exnmine the remarkable natural
resources, in minerals and water power,
with which the section abounds, and to
report the same to the people of the
country; but from what we can learn
from our exchanges on the subject, the
real object of the affair was to show the
Bullock and bring rndical blatherskites
in social contact with Southern gentlemen.
It, however, cannot be doubted that
Hulbert used all the means that lay in
his power to make tho trip pleasant,
aDd the majority of his guests went into
ecstasies over him for it, even after the
ca r go of the train was made known.—
Bullock was the ruling spirit, and offici
ated as master of all the ceremonies,
much to the delight of certain Democratic
editors, one among whom said among
other things, in public laudation of the
‘‘Governor,” that he "believed nil that
Governor Bullock had done as Governor
aud his main aims were to aid the peo
ple of the -State, aud foster and develop
their material interest.*’ Gea. Wright,
of the Chronicle and Sentinel, says,
"that we have been informed-by a gen
tleman of the Press, wlio soon after
spoke to him on the subject, that the
Colonel declared that he was unaccus
tomed to public speaking and did not
know whot he was saying.”
A Democratic editor of a Southwestern
Georgia paper went still farther, and
proposed the toast, "Our model Gov
ernor, etc.!’’
Wo might go further aDd give the
particulars of this free ride, bnt we will
not weary our readers with tbeir pro
duction. but in conclusion, and in justice
to a few of tbc excursionists, we quote
again from Gen. Wright’s report of the
concern:
"We are glad to be able to add, in
conclusion, that a few members of the
Press preserved their consistency and
their self-respect by’ refusing any asso
ciation or intercourse with Bullock what
ever. While, we are pained to say, a
large number seemed to vie with each
other in lackeying to and fawning upon
the individual who, through fraud and
perjury, disgraces the Gubernatorial
Chair of the 6’tute.”
Perjurer Blodgett did not attend
the Press Excursion. Bullock and
Swayze were corruption enongh
aboard for one train.
A colored woman by the name of
Peggy Harris, says the Sumter (Ameri-
cus) Republican, gave birth to a child,
one day last week, which she carried to
the woods and pretended to bury. When
the body of tho child was discovered the
hogs had eaten (he head off and other
wise mangled it. Wo understand that
tho woman was committed for infanti-
liouse of Peter Black, negro, confined to
her bed both by sickness and a chain.
Black is held responsible for her appear
ance and has secured her with the chain
to prevent escape, until she lias so far
recovered that she can be placed in jail.
Vi gixia.—In conscqeenceof Attor
ney General Hoar’s decision, that the
Reconstruction laws do net require
the application of tho test Oath to
members of the Legislature, it is to
be hoped that Virginia will soon be
allowed to inaugurate the Governor
elected by tbe vote of lier people, and
also, that tho Legislature will be al
lowed to couvene. Then Can by will
have to depart for other regions.
Qnincy, Fla., received two bales of
new cotton, the first of the season,
on Monday last 30th ult. Up to the
same date Bainbridge had received
only two hundred bales.
The Dawson (Terrell County) Journal
says: "The cotton crop will fall below
the expectations of all; it is impossible
to get a favorable report from the coun
try in regard to the cotton crop. First
it was drought, secondly rust, aud now
the stalk is dead, aud no prospects of a
late crop.
Rev. Thos. O. Summers, D. D., of
Nashville, Tenn., says : ‘Darby’s
Prophylactic Fluid has long been an
institution in oar house. It comes
nearer taking tbe rank of a universal
remedy than anything else. It ought
to be better known aud more exten
sively used.”
Nvar Powciton, Hancock county, on
Thursday night, the loth, says ihe
Ettonton Press «fc Messenger, foitv or
fifiy negroes su non tided the house of
Mr. Marchtnan, and fired into it. Mr. M.
w is wounded. Some fittest) or twenty i.f
ll-c v rgrocs have been arrested and
confined in jail at Sparta. The cause for
the attack upon Mr. March man, was
the fin lino of a dead negro on his pro-
mieses, whom they presumed he had
killed. ‘Let us have pence.’
Ttie Americ.us Courier, of Wednes
day, savs: Considerable hubbub was
created in our city at noon to day by
the capture o' three wouldbe defenders
of the Island of Cuba. It is snpposi-d
there were some twenty or more
young gentlemen in the expedition,
bound for the Flord’acoast. The parents
of foity of the patties telegraphed to this
point, arid our marshal succeeded in ar
resting three of them—the other es
caping by a dexterous flank movement.
They will be returned to their parents
iu Macon.
Washington, D. 0., Sep 1 . 3 —The
repsentatives here of the two Republican
wings in Tennessee are quite disgusted
to find that the Pie ident on Wednes
day enilor.-ed both parties in tha: State,
and looked upon Senter as being as
good a Repuhlicon as Stokes. The friends
of tha latter s-iy they do not understand
why he endorses an apostate like Senior,
who was supported by Democrats, while
none but slraightout Republicans voted
for Slok- s. They are eniphat cin declar

of those Democratic editors who so

Death of Gex. Rawlins.—We learn
by telegraph that Gen. John A. Rawlins,
United States Secretary of War, died
yesterday afternoon at Washington City.
Gen. Rawlins was comparatively an un
known man in public life when lie was
appointed to the high position as head
of tbe War Department., but it is gener
ally believed that since his appointment
he has always used his power and influ
ence to counteract and defeat the
schemes of the extreme Radicals, and
that, on all questions relating to the
government of the Southern States, he
has been on the side of conservatism
aud justice, and has been opposed to the
violent aud tyrannical projects of bis
colleagues and associates aud the Radi
cal party. Gen. Rawlins, as chief of
staff to Gea. Grant, won some reputa
tion as a soldier, and is said to have
possessed the confidence and regard of
his chief. In private life, he is repre
sented as having been a good man and
worthy citizen. His health has been
very feeble for a long time. Hemhor-
rhage of the lungs was the immediate
cause of his death.—Journo! £ Messenger

We presume there never was a
family medicine that has achieved a
belter and more enduring repaiation
than Darby’s Prophylactic Fluid.
We have yet to hear the first man
say that it fails to do all that is
claimed for it. As Alex. Stephens
says, 'no head of a family should
ever be without it.”
Hon. George H. Pendleton is the
standard bearer of the Ohio Deni >e-
racy in the coming gubernatorial
election. He will, it is thought, wiD
the race. Pendleton is the best man
the North ever produced, and will, if
no Southern man opposes him, sn-
persede Grant as President in 1872.
Maryland newspapers are filled with
complaints about the drought and the
bligbtiug of the corn, poUto and tobac
co crops, and say that eren trees appear
to be dying. Frederick City is on half
rations of water. Frostbnrg is similarly
afflicted, and the Chesapeake and Ohio
Gmal is Tery lew ca some of the levels.
Interesting fkdm Cuba.—Our r<»r-
respontlence fioin Havana reports that
rumors wers mrrent to the tffe t that
Captain General de Rod ts Lai received
a telegram jrom Madrid instructin'? him
to “prepare the country for a change in
the government.’’ Jt was also reported
that evidently in connection with such
instructions, the archives were being
secretly carried to the Cabanas fortress.
What object there won’d be in secresv
is not so clear. Oar correspondent,
though inclined to doubt the rumors,
slates the Spaniards are growing tired
of the war, and arc becoming desirous
of ptace on the basis of the anatomy of
Cuba. Like the betting man who has
staked his money and afterwards per
ceives an almost certainty of losing,
they are inclined to “hedge,” and thus
save themselves from the consequences
of Cuban independence. Meantime,
our intelligence from the interior of the
island tells only of ruin aud devastation,
