Tonnage Increase.
A report from the Treo iry Depart
ment shows an increase of foreign ton
nag.; during the year of 19.493 tons, and
of domestic of £33,688. The amount of
tonnage built daring the year exceeds
that of any year since lfedo. This is at,
tributable to the unusually great
at sea. and the fact, that owing to the
advance in prices of labor and material
abroad, the cost of American-built ship
is now but slightly greater than that of
the bast British. During the year,
twenty-six iron steam vessels were built
of which three were ocean steamers of
the largest class built for foreign trade.
These were built on thu Delaware, and

and so long as they increase our ocean
marine, it matters little where they ore

Some Queer IIITocts of the
Panic,
Tho New York correspondent of the
Cincinnati Commercial notes, among
some of the effects of toe panic, the very
queer one that all the dentist* are idle,
a leading member of that profession hav
ing stated to him that since the pinch
oommeuced ho and his assistants have
done nothing. Occasionally pcoplo un
der tho stimulus of toothache would rush
in an,l have a grinder jerked out, but nil
the artistic branches of tho business
have collapsed. The correspondent also
says that nearly all the doctors complain
of having littlo to do—the times being
too hard for people to indulge in the lux
ury of doctors' bills unless the case is
extremely urgent. IIo odd* other queer
effects, as follows i
Hnrdly leas queer is the fact mentioned
by the keeper of a f.idiionablo pawn
broking estahli-diTnont on Broadway, the
character of which is not known to every
body, who, in telling about the extraor
dinary growth of his business during the
panic, said that be had received "on
pledge” an inordinate and amazing
amount of diamonds and jewelry from
tho women who kocp the costliest class of
disreputable houses, and from tho richer
sort of svprians, who told pitiful tales of
tho blight by which they bad 1 eon over
taken. Perhaps there could bo no
queerer illustration than this of tho per
vading and penetrating nature of the
panic.
Tho liquor business, at tho fashionable
and unfashionable bare, has run down in
an unprecedented way, and the demand
for costly wines is nearly at zero, as one
can learn by inquiry of Delmonico, or
Nash A Puller, whose sufferings are of tho
most luMirt-remling kind to themselves,
but much loss to the rest of us.
The cigar business is suffering excru
ciatingly ; and multitudes of people here
tofore accustomed to their Havana* havo
taken to clay pipe*, tho smoke from which
costs them only about a hundredth part
of the prioe of good cigars. Tho livery
stable business ia half ruined. The high-
priced hotels are emptier than they ever
w,-re before nt this time of year; and it
is reported thst the new and hugo Wind
sor Hotel, on Fifth avenue, will bo com
pelled to closo its doors. Several of tho
big theatres are not paying their expen
ses ; tho prices are reduced nt Daly's two
theatres and some of the others; and the
new Lyceum Theater—the most beauti
ful in tho city—ia closed. Yon havo
heard all about the renditions of the lead
ing industries hero, the falling off in gen
eral business, the great decline in prices,
and the state of the working classes ; but
yet such illustrations as I have given of
the more eccentric effects of the panic
will convey an idea, no less striking, of
the ways it bears on the community.
A Ramis Clxaxkr.—Tho New Orleans
ricayune notices a ramie cleaner in opera
tion in that city which, as worked by
three operators, will clean about six hun
dred pounds of ramie fibre in ten hours.
After the bark is removed the fibre is
carried off by machinery in hanks or rib
bons and thoroughly cleansed, The ra
mie when it leaves the machine ia of a
straw color, and when dried it is ready
for tho market. The ricayuno gives no
information as to the cost of the mnehine.
The difficulty of properly preparing the
ramie fibre for tho market by any pro
cess now in general use has alone pre
vented the development of the ramie cul
ture into ono of tho great industries of
the country. The fibre stands only sec
ond to silk in qualities most requisite for
the manufacture of fine fabrics, and tho
plant can be successfully cultivated
throughout an immense area in the
United States. Whoever succocds in
producing a machine which can bo sold
at a low price, and will effectually and
economically prepare the fibre for com
mercial use. will confer a benefit on the
country of hardly less importance than
Tiix boiler experiments at Sandy Hook.
New Jersey, have been commenced by
the Congriwsioual commission. A high-
pressure tubular boiler, having been sub

over-heating. The steam was hooted to

Editorial Correspondence.
Clthmikt, November 13, 1S73.
The trip fr-.m JTa-on to this place waa
nceompli-bed without the devku ,n of a
minute front the time table, and as usual
the cars were well filled with passengers.
HARD Turns.
If the subject was not po-
feeling siguifioSPSS to all, it would be
amusing to recount the varicl expe
rt, ne.-s, personal calamities, an l shifty
plan, for relief, which were suggested by
very many of the traveling sufferers.
At each station a fresh bevy of mourn
ers aind grumblers got on board, compared
notes, shook their headi, and howled oat
their vaticinations as to th>* "blue ruin"
which impended over the oountxy. This
culminated at last into a perfect climax,
when a well known Methodist clergyman
entered the care and declared that in the
counties of bankruptcy notices wore
the order of the day, and nearly every
debtor not worth over $3,100 (the sum
exempted) wa.; about to pans* this con
venient and summary method of kicking
loose from his obligations. Well, it is an !
easy way to pay defats. And provided a
man has an India rubber conscience and
don't care a continental for future credit
or reputation, it may serve his turn at
this time.
But let the writer be understood. He
ia not attacking the bankrupt law when
legitimately and judiciously administered.
Ante-bellum executions, remorseless cred
itors who who will extend no accommo
dations, security defats which others
evade and leave yon to shoulder, though
bejjary be the result, and other equally
potest conditions, may justify this dernier
retort, always provided that the bankrupt
subsequently, and just as soon a3 he is
able, will pay his just debts to the last
farthing. For it should be remembered
that the decree of no court or legislative
tribunal, in Joro eonoeienlia or in the sight
of High Heaven, can justify a man in de
frauding his neighbor by withholding
that which Is rightfully his.
This law wos intended to defeat Shy-
locks, and to protect honest men from
oppression. Hence when a man has in
dulgent creditors who have been hi<
benefactors, and are still willing to allow
him a chance to woik out of his difficul
ties, it is littlo short of downright swin
dling and repudiation, for him to go into nror '
bankruptcy. But are there any disposed
to art thus? Wo hop* not for the honor
of posterity and a fair name. Those who
are driven to this extremity by rightful
causes, have our heartiest sympathy.

Some of the guests of a wedding party
which came off the night previous in
Macon were on board, among them the
parents of the bride. Your correspond-
nt was within ear-shot, and, as usual,
Iiaving an eyo to the interests of his
readers, was all attention. And, oh, that
every young benediet, or candidate for
matrimonial honors, in Georgia bad been
present. Husbands caught it right and
left from these excellent people, who bad
just been deprived of a sweet and du
tiful daughter by one of their num
ber. It was voted unanimously (depo
nent assenting) that not one young man
in forty was worthy to looso tho shoo
latchct or kiss the hem of his wife's gar
ment. Tho men were ingrates, tyrants
and remorseless, exacting creatures—tho
women martyrs and angels. “Jest so."
And we can’t understand why the dear
creatures will put on beau catchers and
set their trap* to ensnare such worthless
game. But "woman is on enigma," and
a very sweet one, too, even barbarian
masculines will admit.

Wo found everything very quiet in this
lovely littlo city. Its merchant prince,
whoso elegant brick store crowded with
goods presents on alnost endless vista of
merchandise of every description, told
tho writer that the bottom of bis trade
“dropped out" ten days ago, when tho
Superior Court began its sessions. Pre
viously ho had been doing a fine business.
Northern failures and factory stoppages,
tho low price of cotton and the panic gen
erally may have canoed this result. But
it is also hinted that the enginery of the
Court-house had not a little to do with

Jingle and Flying Cloud have been sold to
United States Senator Robertson.of South
Carolina, and sent to Washington City.
The wheel horses of the famous team are

Conn Debt.—We heard Treasurer
Markham state yesterday that the total
debt of Muscogee county was f30.000,
including the bonded debt of $6,000. This
is not near so heavy as generally sup-
posod.
Botrra Aoxxt Brnrus this Point

master at Macon, has appointed Mr.
Jam-s Miller as route agent between here
and Macon, to succeed his brother, who
was killed in the late accident. The ne

sionato and firm, he hold the scales of
justice perfectly poised, only causing
law, oqnity and right to "kick the beam.”
A PETIT SOUPEB.
The writer enjoyed the honor of re
ceiving two invitations to banquets given
by members of the bar to their distin
guished visitor. The first, at which it
was not his good fortune to be present,
came off at the residence of that gifted
barrister and courteous gentleman. Col.
Herbert Fielder. Those who know his esti
mable lady, will at once bo satisfied that
nothing was wanting to the comfort and
luxurious entertainment of her guests.
One of tho Colonel’s sons, who is a very
Nimrod in the field, contributed six deli
cious teal ducks, the product of a rinyle
shot, to his mother’s supper. Such boys
are no expense to feed.
The other feast was given by Eugene
Douglass. Esq., who is a brother of the la-
no. nted Col. Karsdbm Douglass. Nearly
all the members of the bar were present,
and their accomplished wives also.
Judge Hansell proved himself as agree
able and pleasant in social life as he is
trustworthy and discreet in the discharge
of his official duties. The entertainment
was superb, and if panic and disaster
brooded without, within those hospitable
walls peace and baronial plenty reigned
supreme. The host and his amiable
spouse exerted themselves to the utmost
for the cntortalmncnt of their guests.

VOSXCAL I-XSTIVAL.
On Friday night, Caj.t- Flc

popular president of Andrew College,
gave a five concert in the chapel of that
institution. The performers were all
members of the musical class, as
sisted by their teachers. The orator
on the occasion was Mr. Dupont Guer-
ry, of Americas, who delivered a verr
chaste aad Uautiful address to an over
flowing audience. The young ladies are
nearly all verging into womanhcod, and

I Patxist or Taxes.—Notwithstanding
the plea of hard times. Tax Collector
Frazer reports that he has collected more
of State and county taxes than be had at
this date last year. This speaks well for
the honesty of the section, and a little for
improvement in monetary matters.
Fixe Caorrrao—Ax Exakixx fob the
Couxtxt.—Mr. J. A. Goodwin and his
four young sons raised, in Harris county,
last year, six bales of cotton. 800 bushels
of corn. 118 bushelsof wheat,130 bushels
of potatoes and fifty-fivo bushels of oats.
They spent not a dollar for guano.
Eiilboad Trains to Chattahooche.
It was expected the trains of the Jack
sonville, 1'ensaeola and Mobile railroad
would run to Chattahoochee, Florida, on
tho river this week and we presume the
intention has been put into effect. It was
thought the trains would reach Chatta
hoochee about four o’clock in the after
noon, and leave about half past ten in
the morning. This connection will bo
very convenient to parties living on the
lower river; and may be of great benefit
to Columbus. The line is row under tho
superintendence of Col. Holland. This
will be the route for our people who wish
to visit East Florida. It was once
thought it would afford a competing
route for cotton to New York and Savan
nah, but that idea has been dissipated

doubt she advocates for her sex a higher
plane of action, in common with the pro
gressive intellect of tho day, but tliat she
should advocate tho woman’s righto, free-
lovism, etc., of Woodhull, Cl.v.iin i Co.,
is preposterous, while it would be running
counter to her education and Southern
nationality. We have heard Mrs. West
moreland express herself on tho subject of
woman’s righto, ns well as on many other
social questions, and feel assured h<r po

Captain Fry, the ill-fated commander of

has a mine of undeveloped wealth in its
oyster beds. The oysters of Matanxas
Ini. t, t. Ur Keys, St. Mark.", Apala-.-hi-

any in the world in size and Savor, and
they offer a fine field for lucrative invest

connection the Republican further siys
that tho business of canning meats, fiih,
fruits and vegetables has become v«y
extensive in all sections of the country
and as enlarging every year. In Floridi
we have an abundant supply of greci

Tho New York Sun of the 12th says
tho first day of H. B. Claflin & Co.’s great
sale attracted a throng of purchasers to
the great store, nhich extends from
Church strut to West Broadway, in which
one looked in vain for evidences of panic
and commercial distrust. From early
morning until darkness suspended busi
ness .country merchants and city mer
chants filled tho avenues between the
vast piles of opened goods, so that sales
men could scarcely move around, and a
movement to make way for porters with
their tracks occasioned a movement along
the whole line. If any doubt existed of
the wisdom of the plan of realizing upon
■goods on hand, it was settled by a glance
at the tremendous business that was done.
Those who went there intended to buy,
and knew the valuo of what was offered.
The only bickering arose from tho asser
tion of pri< r claims to be waited on. A
salesman secured, ono glance at tho
goods was followed by speedy decision
upon tho quantity desired, and the bal
ance of tho work fell to the parties who
parked the orders.
Throughout the day_one door of entry
to the packing room was never empty of
a loaded truck, nor that of exit of a truck

Victor Emmaniel’s Opening Address.
Box*, November 15.—Victor Em
manuel, in opening Parliament, hoped
for a continuance of the work of internal
nificant hitherto to obtain goods at store?
where jobbers bought, purchased bills
that will stock them for n season. Com
mission houses, too, took advantage of
the low prices to obtain stocks that were
cheap enongh to promise profit by auc
tion. Tho necessity for realization has
struck a fatal blow to accepted theories
about tho cause of business stagnation.
It has shown conclusively that apprehen
sion of disaster and not disaster iUelf has
destroyed two months of tho usual fall
business. Because banks in the ©ties
suspended, and some of their country de
positors failed with them, country mer
chants were afraid to put their cash into
trade. Now they are eager to invest at
tho reduced prices, paying cash, thereby
making an additional profit.
The best lines of domestic goods and
prints sold yesterday at lower prices than
at any previous timo since 1861. Such
goods aro marked down from ten to fif
teen per cent. Imported goods aro also
reduced from five to ten per cent. It was
an experiment with Claflin & Co. Their
monthly average of last year was only a
million less than they hope to dispose of
within tho next thirty days. Croakers
predicted disaster if it succeeded because
of its demoralizing effect upon tho trade
generally, and it was by no means a fore
gone conclusion tliat money could be
found to purchase tho stock. The initial
day of tho experiment has opened a fall
trado of unexampled magnitude, and
there is overy promise that it will put
§5,000,000 greenbracks more in circula
tion within tho month. At all events,
enough goods were sold for cash to keep
the portera packing and shipping for sev
eral days, and many mpiviiant; carried
their packages away on their shoulders.
A. T. Stewart & Co. are inclined to meet
the reduced prices of Claflin A Co. At
their retail store goods were sold over the
counter at the same prices that Claflin
marked them at. The wholesale store,
too, was filled with buyers. Peake, Op-
dyke & Co. also trod the new made track,
and the example will liavo to bo followed
by all the other considerable houses that
hope to clear their shelves this fall. As
the caso stands it opens the speediest and
safest solution of the money trouble. Tho
msney realized will go to pay tho manu
facturers, many of whom are discharg
ing their hands for want of funds. They
will be enabled to resume and thus avert
the threatened distress of the working
classes.
Everywhere they are strong in tho belief that

the properties of a gentle purgative, a tonic, a
blood purifier and a general regulator is the great
requisite in all diseases.

Tho Cuban Loyalists.
Arraigning tho bloodthirsty course of
the Cuban loyalists, tho Baltimore Ga
zette 8ay3:
The two last mentioned act3 of sav
agery were perpetrated after telegrams
had been sent from Spain, and, received
in Cuba by tho Captain-General, ordering
peremptorily a stay of proceedings.
They were done in defiance of Spanish
authority and at the instigation of the
bloodthirsty Spanish volunteers, who
profess to be loyalists, but who only yield
obedience to the home government when
it suits their purposes, and whose atroci
ties neither the Captain-General at Ha
vana nor the commanders in the field
have the power to suppress—still less to
mnish. They have conducted the war
ike savages; they have put to death in
nocent Cabans, as in the case of the stu
dents at Havana—falsely accused of mu
tilating a tomb. They have shot every
Cuban prisoner of note that fell into
their hands. They havo hunted, ha
rassed and imprisoned the peaceful rela
tives of the insurgents, sparing neither
age nor sex, and have confiscated, often
on the shallowest of pretexts, property
valued at many millions of dollars. So
long as these sanguinary excesses were
committed within tho island, and the na
tive Cubans were the only victims other
governments, though shocked at tho in-
luman way in which the war was con
ducted, felt bound to refrain from active
interference. Now the case i3 different.
If the capture of the Virginius took place
in Cuban waters that fact might be urged
as an excuse for the passionate killing of
the captives. But after orders for a stay
of proceedings were received from the
homo government, tho men who killed
them in defiance of those orders were
as much insurgents as tho men whom
they shot, and should be dealt with
accordingly. The plea tliat Spain
cannot control these volunteers, ami
therefore ought not to bo held answera
ble for their acts, has no validity what
ever. If she claims possession of the
island, and recognizes these men as in her
service, it is her duty to control them.
Otherwise her claim is a sham, and enti
tled to no respect- Her failur*- to do
what it is incumbent on her, even to the
limited extent of protecting American
citizens from immediate death, and hold
ing them for trial for the offenses of
which they may chance to be accused,
justifies the United States in taking in
stant action in the matter. What that
action ought to be cannot properly be
discussed until the circumstances sur
rounding this bloody affair are better
known. That it should be such as will
vindicate the honor and dignity of the
country, and put a stop to similar acta of
slaughter in the future, every one will
acknowledge.
Perhaps the most direct and positive
affront to the United States Government
connection with the 'capture of the
Irginiu3 and the massacre of all on
board, is the refusal of the Spanish au
thorities to permit tho American Consul
at Santiago de Cuba to communicate with
his own government in relation to the
affair.
A Philadelphia Quaker complimented
one of his sect who had joined an Epis
copal church on the new organ used
there. " Why, I thought thee objected
to church music •* Ah, so I do/* was
the reply; " but if thee mint worship
God by machinery, I want thee to have
the best."
