We nuppose n<* sensible man expected anything el-e to come of the New York Evangtdic&l Alliance than some int»*r*!at- .ng talk. It ho.4 gather*-* 1 a large num- lierof mtdbgent and exe«di**nt men from all part* of the Protestant world, who «ould hardly fail to present many inter- *wting fm’ts and views in eloqut-nt )an- gii*g*\ which will be worthy the att*-n- tion of Cliristendom. But beyond this nothing cc>uki be don**, liecause nothing i« proposal, and there is no executive power to *arry out any proposition* if made. It was supposed the gathering of so many Protestants of various denomina tions would be likely to subserve the eause of religious union outside of and beyond denominational affinities. But there is no tangible basis for snch a union, and the del site on Thursday night, on the relations of the Chnrch to human governments, came near terminating row. How oould the Dean of Cant*-r< bury, represent!ng my Lord Archbishop, the Primate of the English Chnrch, and a great Hierarchy drawing some $800,000,- 000 of revenue per annum through the good offices of the British government — wo say how could he listen <jui«-tly to t Rev.

But then there were tho American boys in the pit of tho theatre whooping and hollering for Carry to go on, and re joicing that they had got the Archbiahop’i head in chancery and could force him to listen to so much sound doctrine. It was with a great effort that tho boyw were whistled down at last, and the tumult hushed in the soothing strains of a hymn. All this shows that a general Protestant Chridtian union is not to be approach**! in this way. Argument and discussion will not facilitate, but prevent it. Christian worship and Christian intercourse may soften denominational asperities, bnt they revive tho moment the field of argument and ratiocination is entered. The case is incurable. The Protestant sects are os incurably divided among themselves as are the Protestants and the Catholics, and must rest content to pursue each its own way until tho providence of God opens a path oat of the maze. A* for tho assaults of the allianco on tho Catholics, they amount to nothing, from the mere fact of the discords among the assaulting forces. The truth is, all tho churches should bo emulous not to assail and pull down each other, bnt each to illustrate for itself the most perfect conformity to tho will and example of the Groat Hoad of tho Chnrch. 'When they begin to do this, there is a field for tho ablest strife that ever enlisted the en ergy of mortals. THE GEORGIA PRESS.

Daring the lato panic and interrupGon in the banking badness of our* chief cities, this feature in tho post-office de partment proved a great benefit and con venience to the people. It kept many thousands of currency in con e tnnt circu lation from hand to hand, without the danger of any of it becoming asphixiated in the banks. Debtors were able to make remittances to creditors without risk or delay, and bills of all denomination*, and fractional currency were <Liily distributed to multitudes. Indeed it may Ik* termed a sort of cheap banking without the trouble and risk inmrxvd bj depositors. The system ha* been irf operation for the past eight years, and for some time, owing to it* novelty and the difficulty of getting business men to leave the beaten tra k in tlie transmission of their funds, grew in public favor very slowly. Thus, one rear after its introduction, in 1865, only $-14,338 69 hail pnssed through the mails by its agency. In 1872, however, bo mat had been the increase that $5,210,- 032 84 were paid out in response to those orders, and it is thought by the Postmas ter General that tho business of tlwt year wHl tloubfa Hadf by the close of IS73. During the late panic the increase in a brief period was most astonishing. Thus, on the 2d of September ultimo, the mtnoy-order drafts received at the New York poitoffice amounted to $38,315 51 and the payments Werv $34,262 93. Just ono month later, on the 2d in stant. the number received coimtod$159 r - 427 iK5 and the payments fo toil up $101,- 701 34, showing on increase of $67,438 51 in tlmt short period. So great has been the assistance and convenience experienced from this plan of remitting money, that merchant* will doubtless continue to muke use of it very generally hereafter. In our own jw.-t-office a very decided increase also is reported by the Postmas ter in the money order business, within the post few months. On one day the receipts amounted to $1300. and for the quarter ending September 30th exceeded $22,000. Persons visiting the office will be struck with the very great improvement which has boon made in the money order de part ment. A very neat room has been nicely carpeted and fitted up for that purpose, which is occupied by the Post- mister and money order clerk. Mr. Sie- fert. Visitors are no longer subjected to tht k unpleasant draft which once annoyed them at the window of the clerk. More Greenbacks l It ii said by a correspondent of the New York Times, who seems to know what he is talking about, that **a plot is forming to prtos upon Congress at its next session, the issue of one hundred millions more of Greenbacks, under the idea tlmt we cannot carry on the business of the country with the present sum of seven hundred million*.’ Such an issue of greenbacks, the Charleston News, j :t< will undoubtedly increase the selling price of cotton, and what the Southern farmers gain in Gist way will be muen more than they will lose in paying a higher rate of interest than the present one for clothing, implements and provis ions. As long as this is the case, and greenbacks are a legal tender, we prefer a big prio* for cotton in paper to a small price in gv>ld. The paper dollar* will pay debts as well o» the gold dollars will, and we shall get more of tljt*u^ It would i*e a charming thing for Southerners, who borrowed greenbacks when gold was at a premium of from ten to fffty per cent, to be forced to pay back that money in gold because it suited the North to force a re sumption of specie payments.

This money goes into* gen eral circulation, and the entire communi ty is benefitted. Had it not been for E. & P. loan, and Central railroad passen ger certificates, trade in Columbus for the post two weeks would have been wholly dead. The people would have had not!ling to pay home debts. The factory has al*out thirty thousand of then* bills out, and is authorized to issue only thri-o humlrod thousand. For their redemption -ome three million dollars of security is given—the factory buildings, etc., an immense quantity of manufac tured good/;, and th** individual property of evoiy stockholder. All this should make the certificate better tlian green backs. Their present issue is designed only to bridge the financial break. It is a gratifying fact. too. that during the panic oar manufactories have kept steady at work, and no hand has l>een dUeliarged. In the North many laborers have been thrown out of employment. In Columbus a dozen loads of Georgia bay were sold on Thursday at seventy- five cents per hundred. The Chattahoo chee is falling at that point. The Sun says: The North and South train ran over and killed, on Saturday, a noted English for bound. • < R«i ih," well known in Mobile and West ecu Geoigia and Eastern Aln- bamu. He was reared in Philadelphia and shipped to this county by Air. C. J. Ooivert, of Newark, N. J., on April 13th, 1870. A light frost was discernible at C<»r lumbus on Wednesday morning in low place*. Tw o young men at Columbus bought a coffin for some poor fellow, and irrever ently converting it into a seat in their “wagon,** applied the lash to the horse. He responded in such a lively manner tliat they and their lugubrious freight also were turned top3y turvy in the sand. Fortunately, no more coffins were ren dered necessary by the accident. The Sun has the following pleasii g item: A noble hearted lady, who does not de sire the mention of her name, commenced yesterday canvassing for subscriptions to aid the suffering people of Shreveport, who have been, and still are being, bo sorely stricken. Last afternoon she had secured nearly one hundred dollars. She means to call on (every one in Columbns. and we trust all will respond as liberally as they cm. Some day our city may be suffering as badly, and we may in turn, be compelled to solicit aid. This is a no ble work—that of relieving the suffering people of one of our Southern cities. Let all give something, no matter bow small. Tiik young Gourmonds over in Talbot ton are going to have a fat time on a “tre- mengiouB” tater their dad lias just bogged, provided the “old un” will give the little cubs a chance. From the following, however, this is extremely doubtful: A Bid “Tater !"—Who does not love “tater ?** The man who does not—well we don't know what ought to be done to him. The present, crop of this tuberifer- ous commodity is unusually prolific. Some very large ones hare been raised. Mr. S. B. Baldwin, Jr., has presented us a yam, of which we feel quite proud. Its cir cumference would compare favorably with that of our “devil’s" head, and it weighs nearly four pounds. Since the foregoing was put in .type Mr. Frank Mathews, of Pratsburg, ha* given us a y.tni wt-ighing seTen and a half pounds. We call loudly for competitors. By way of variety, we will say our editor Ras taken the contract to eat this “tater." The Standard says an interesting re vival of religion is in progress in the M• thodist church of that plaoe. The ed- is in lack, as in tuLlition to his “big tater,” he now brags of fine peaches just donated to him, and raves of delicious venison teaks at 121 per pound, and choice, fat bee/ at 8 cents, etc. No wonder with snch a bill of fare the name of our brother should at least sevnd sc suggestively. The same paper has this to say of Mayor Huff's premium to the county ?38 d the Su.te Fair : The Growth oi Cities. Is th**re a point at which large cities must stop in their growth ? Will th« after a certain length of time, become un wieldly as to be arrested in develop ment. and become gradually stationary It is certain that men cannot go to and from their business beyond a certain dis tance, and business will fix itself in cer tain quarters and nowhere else. Near water and railroad facilities, for instance. Already in New York from two to four hours are daily consumed by many in ■going and returning. In London it the same way, in spite of the under ground transit. Either, therefore, greater facilities for rapid travel must be found, or cities like London and New York must stop at a certain limit. London is feel ing this each year, and i« extending less and less. Her new streets and squares in 1869 averaged sixty-eight miles; in 1S70 the number fell to forty two; in 1871 to below thirty-nine, and in 1872 to twenty. Jute Instead of Cotton. The Pall Mall Gazette says that India, in future, will raise jute rather than cot ton, the fact being established that she cannot compete with the Ameri.nn cot ton either in quality or price. The In ’ia cotton crop, therefore, shows bnt little increase, whereas the shipment* of juto Trom Calcutta rose in 1870-*72 from if ne hundred thousand to one million five hundred thousand bales. Says the T ill Mall Gazette, in noticing the fact: “T’te fibre has lately been applied to mor* del icate purposes, and a demand for finer qualities lias sprung up. The new jr.te season for 1873-*74 opened tho other day, and, as usual during the first two weeks of the season, the fibre is fresh and strong with a silvery-gray color." Ethiopian Voters In Mississippi Dr. Redfield in one of his letters to the Cincinnati Commercial, says: In all the Southern States from the time the negroes were enfranchised to tho present I defy any man to point out an instance wh^ro they ever defeated a man for office because he was a thief or a rascal. Indeed, in sections containing a heavy negro population the meanest man almost invariably gets most votes. “This is not because the negro is na turally mean, bnt because he is deplora bly ignorant. He thinks he must sup port ‘do man of our party/ no matter if de man’ is a penitentiary convict. When ever a fellow gets a Republican nomina- nation in the South he will get the solid negro vote, no matter what his reoord or his character When you understand tho means by which 'nominations* are se cured in the South you will not wonder that the meanest and most corrupt men usually come out ahead." Here is an amusing account of an in terview with a barber. Wlmt this l»rl>er said might be just as truthfully uttered by a Georgia barber: ‘Oh, yes, I votes, but I don’t whoop for any party: it wouldn’t do in my bus- I’m obliged to Ik? soft on the Dem ocratic partv. Suppose there wasn’t any Democrats now would I get my living You might shave Radicals," I said. Radicals! Shave Radicals! Why, there ain’t one Radical in a thousand in this here country tliat shaves. Niggers don’t shave. I say Radical party sup port a barber! Tljey can’t support any thing." “Ain’t you a Radical 5 ” “I votes that ticket, but I don’t say much about it. I don’t like the Missis sippi niggers any too welL" •What’s the matt.-r with th.-in r” Oh, they hain’t got any sense. They don’t know a platform in politics from a rail fence. They are right now down on Alcorn, and they can’t tell to save their lives why. I’ll tell you the truth, now, just between you and me : there ain’t lalf of them Mississippi niggers that are fit to vote.” Tux Post-office Money Order Depart- ! ment has risen into some prominence in profitless that hun«lred* of negro** 1 live . connection with the event* of the late ei- «»xa ben pig a e . and burglary, a*d ! citement. and has proved an unusually many of them summit petty crimes in j great conv«i«ce to the public.

From the Brooklyn Earle.] A large party of gentlemen visited East New York last week, on the invita tion of Alderman Richardson, for the purpose of witnessing the operations of a new motive power, the fireless locomo tive, designed by the inventor for street railroads. The locomotive differs from all others, in the respect that no fire is required. The driving power is deri-ed from a tank filled with condensed steam, placed on a -tender attached to the en gine, with which it is connected by a feeding pipe. The steam is generated in a building fitted u*p for the especial pur pose on the corner of Van Sicklen and Atlantic avenues. From this the tank is supplied with a sufficient quantity of steam, aa estimated, to projiel ono or more cars a distance, of about 14 miles. The trial wa? on the track of the East New York and Canarsie Railroad. The fireless locomotive is tubular in form, covered with felting, over which there is a layer of Russian sheet iron, making it impervious to *the effects of the weather. It is about fourteen feet in length, and its general appearance is not dissimilar to those now in use on all steam railroad-. The absence of fin* renders a smokestack unnecessary. It xnpves along noiselessly, without puffing or'tdowing, and in this respect is a de cided improvent. A large open car, ca pable of accommodating one hundred and fifty person*, and every seat occu pied, was attached to the locomotive wh»*n the party started from East New York. The train moved along easily at first, and gradually increas-d" in speed, wh.-n it prooeeded at a lively rate until it reached the big hotel at Canarsie, a distance of three and a half miles, in fourteen minutes, which is pretty good traveling. The return trip was made in a little over fifteen minutes, but it was observable by railroad men that not so much pressure was put upon the en gine as on the down trip. All ap- j*eared satisfied at the result, and many wore ••nthu*bisti<-ally inclined, and. under the influ"noe of a free lunch, in.-la.fing ginger beer, would hare unan imously agreed to pbi'-e the fireloss ma chine on eTeiy railroad in the city, had j they the power to do so. Some of the old railroad men were not so sure of it* su periority over the dummy, but hesitated to give a decid«*d opinion. Still they ex pressed the conviction tl*at with sutne im- pruvemeoti it might be made to answer the purpose designed by the inventor, and in time result in th.- exclusion of horses alt-nrether frv.m street cars. I*res- ident Laughlond, of the Fireless Engine Company, wa* present, and made all ne cessary explanations. Superintendent Gibs*»n managed the engine admirably. He showed that he was used to it. The rithout halting, but ex periment* made proved that -toppage* c* *uld be effected within the length of the locomotive. The fireless locomotive is said to be in successful operation in New Orleans, and an effort i* now being made to produce it in northern cities. DAY DISPATCHES. Terrible Condition of Memphis.
