The SoKtl.ei'H Press.
'Montgomery, Ala. |
Feb. 17th, 1866. )
The meeting of the Southern Press
Association, called on the 14th inst ,
assembled and re-organized on the 15th,
and adjourned on yesterday evening.—
The following named journals were rep
resented: The Advertiser <(•
Tribum, and the TVnits of Mobile; the
Timesand the J/t’s.'Ciiyer of Selma; the
Mail, the Advertiser and the Ledger of
Montgomery; the Nun and Times of Co
lumbus, Ga ;.ibe Tcleyraph of Macon;
the Constitutionalist of Augusta; and
the Aeic Era and the Intelligencer of At
lanta. The Commercial, of Memphis,
Tenn.,was also represented ‘in the person
of the President of the South-western
Press Association, who was present for
the purpose of cooperating with the
Southern Press Association in the adop.
tion of some plan whereby telegraphic
reports may be furnished Hie Western
and Southern press at reasonable rates,
and which shall be couched in terms
net insulting to the patrons of Southern
and conservative journals.
The re-orgonizatiou resulted in the
election of Mr. W. G. Clarke, of Mobile,
President; Mr. M- J. Williams of Selma,
Secretary and Treasurer; audMr Crutch
field of Ya., Mr. Seaton of North Car
olina, Mr. leFontaine of South Caroli
na, Mr. DeWolf of Georgia, and Mr.
Reid of Alabama, as Directors. An or
dinance was adopted levying an assess
ment of fifty-dollars to be paid by each
press represented, thus making a fund
of seven hundred dollars with which to
defray contingent expenses. The offi
cers elect will proceed at once to carry
out the purpose of the Convention, and
an arrangment will soon be completed
by which the Southern Press can obtain
late, full and reliable intelligence by
telegraph.
It is afact not unknown to the most
casual and indifferent among newspaper
readers, that the Southern and South
western press is unanimous in its sup
port of the wise and judieiouJ policy of
the Federal Executive, and of the Union
as provided by the Constitution. Hold
ing this position, it is by no means in
favor with the Radical and revolutiona
ry faction of the New England and
middle States, and who own and control,
to a very great extent, the self-styled
“American Press Association’’ which
has its head quarters in New York. .Un
der the present arrangement, the South
ern press is left to choose between pay
ing an exorbitant tariff for the privi
lege of being insulted every morning by
telegraph, or of dispensing with tele
graphic reports altogether. The object
of the Press UonyenUou pta.ee
was to correct this evil ; and by re-or
ganizing the old Southern Press Asso
ciation be enabled to send their own
agents to New York and Washington,
who will transmit nothing but news,
leaving each journal io make its own
comments and offer its own opinions on
all the political topics of the day.—
Should this measure develop a com
plicity between the American Telegraph
Company, who own the principal lines,
and the self styled “American Associa
ted Press,” having for its object the
subserving of the Southern and South
western press to the New York and New
England press, the propogation of Rad
ical sentiment, andthe popularization of
the revolutionary scheme of Constitu
tional amendments, the Southern press 1
is already fully prepared to meet it.—
We have a charter granted by the Leg
islature and signed by the Governor of
Alabama, authorizing the incorporation of
a stock Company for the construction of
new lines to be under the control of the
Southern Associated Press. Should it
become necessary, this line can and will
be constructed by the first of July next;
as nearly all the shares have been taken
already, andthe money will be paid in
so soon as the necessity for the building
of the line shall be developed. It is but
proper to state that the press is not
alone in this enterprise. Some of the
first commercial men and heaviest cap
italists of the South and Southwest are
identified with the measure, and will
take up all the shares not purchased by
the Associated Press.
The Alabama. Beglxlatare.
This body is still in session. A visit
to the lower blouse failed to impress me
with its intellectual strength, or with the
attainments of its individual members.
The speaking members employed rather
indifferent English, and their harangues
were usually as pointless as their gestic
ulations were awkward and their senten
ces verbose and uiigramruatical. . Such
members owe the local press a debt of
gratitude for not putting thoir speeches
in print, although I have no doubt they
expe ience some degree of mortification
at what they conceive to be a want of
appreciation. In the Senate there is
more experience nnd a higher order of
intellect. 'fli<- -n-b.ritv of the members

lhe evening previous* The bill imposes
a heavy tax upon fortune-tellers, clair
voyants nnd spiritual mediums. The rea
son assigned by the Senator for wishing
to change his vote was, that ho consider
ed spiritual mediums and lecturers on
spiritualism, next to the living ministry,
the most useful and ornamental members
of society: that frequent intercourse by
the living with the departed spirits of
the dead, and with the invisible intelli
gences of the universe, was elevating in
their tendency, and well calculated to
improve the hearts and enlarge the minds
of men; and that holding thus sacred tho
office of the spiritualist, ho was unwil
ling to be recorded as having voted to
levy a prohibition tax upon the commu
nications between the visible and the in
visible world. His motion was granted.
The reader will, perhaps, be surprised
to learn that this man represents one of
the most wealthy and intelligent Senato
. rial districts in the State; that he is a
gentleman of high literary and legal at
tainments; that his whole life has been
one of sobriety; that although he is, as
he himself afterwards informed me,
nearly seventy years of age, he is re
markably active both in mind and body,
is au exemplary member of the Christian
church, and is recognized *as one of the
first men in his section. S.

Aew York City, 1
Feb. 11th, 1866. j
Like Teter Parley’s Indian* in the
streets of London, your correspondent is
slightually bewildered. lam not from
the backwoods either. Atlanta is no
cross-roads town, and yet it is not as
large as New York ; nor do you see
quite so many people on the streets
there as here. And it is not the num
bers alone so much as the contusion and
hurry and noise. One particular and
distinguishing difference between this
place and Philadelphia is, at the latter
place everything goes as if by rule.—
But little noise—not such a crowd, and
the people walk more leisurely—even in
the business localities. Here everybody
is running over everybody else in the
hurry to get rich. And there is great
wealth here. Take up a city' paper in
which the list of names is given who
pay tax on an income of $500,000 an
nually, and there are two columns solid
small type and closely set. And they
range from that down to §IOO,OOO and
to §25,000, and it takes a full side of
the largest paper to contain them. —
Walk up Fifth Avenue and look at the
interminable rows of brown stone and
white marble houses on each side of the
street, four and five stories high, and
you will begin to have an idea of the un
limited wealth of New York City. It is
a sad thought, in this connection, that
there should, in the midst of such plen
ty, be any in want. But at all the
crossings, whichever way you turn,
squalid urchins, with pinched, thiu faces,
will ask you in a most dolorous tone,
“Please give me a penny, sir.” That
would’nt be understood with us down
South. A man there would’nt think of
giving a beggar less than five or ten
cents, if he gave at all; because that’s
the smallest currency we’ve got; but
here a cent is as much as ever you are
asked for.
Since my arrival the weather has been
most inclement, the snow laying on the
streets to the depth of two and three
feet. The sidewalks, however, are kept
clean, and the busy tide of life sweeps
on. One soon becomes accustomed to
the cold. The atmosphere is dry, and
the winds are not so keen and severely
felt as the cold weather in the South.
Your correspondent is comfortably
quartered on the second floor. Purvis
carried his point at Philadelphia, and I
bought an elegant valise. I begin to
believe there is practical philosophy in
his fancy about a black carpet bag
sending a man to the garret.
Yesterday I visited Central Park, the
great resort and theatre of recreation
for the stream of human life in New
York. It is a beautiful tract, about
three fourths of a mile in width, and two
miles long, full of trees, flowers, walks
and arbors, with, winding roads, along
which innumerable sleigh bells jingle
out their merry winter sound, while in
quick succession pass young men and
maidens enveloped in their warm furs.
It must be an exquisite place in sum
mer. An extensive building stands
within the inclosure, filled with wild
birds and beasts from every clime and
country, while in the room above are
wounderfui works of art. The collec
tion reflects great credit upon the men
who have the institution in charge.
To-day I saw and heard the Rev.
Henry Ward Beecher. Taking a boat,
after breakfast this morning lor Brook
lyn, I arrived just as the congregation
begun to assemble for warship (?) For
tunate for me that I did, for if I bad
delayed, a seat would have been impos
sible. The church was large and com
pletely filled. Henry said some mighty
good things, and took an orthodox text.
How he managed to lug in the N. Y.
Herald and the eighty year old darkey,
is more than your correspondent will un
dertake to explain. But one thing is
certain, he has the confidence of his
people. He holds the purse strings,—-
He took up a collection this morning,
and from the appearance there was more
than seven baskets full. A few Suia
days ago he made an appeal for some
deserving cause, and succc'
AOtjn '• •
mon to-day was practical and plain.—
His illustrations were drawn with pow
erful force, and adapted to the common
est understanding. He is eccentric,but
at times eloquent. His sermon made a
most favorable impression on me, and if
there was evil in it, 1 was unable to see
it.
As in other cities North which I have
visited, 1 met here numbers of ex-Con
fonerates, who do all in their power to
render one of the “same stripe’’ comfor
table while here. These gentleuen are
engaged in mercantile pursuits, and
should not be overlooked by our men
chants while in New York.
The wholesale merchants art* receiv
ing their supply of Spring goods, which
is very large. They are somewhat
doubtful as to the »■ ability of Southern
merchants, and express great fears that
their old Southern patrons will not be
able to weather the storm which all ad
mit must sooner or later sweep over the
country. We can but hope that they
prohesy falsely. A’otis Vermis.
