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 arc the latest Philadelphia improve ments They are good, staunch ships, and so long as they increase our ocean marine, it matters little where they ore constructed.

In short, there 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 jected to a hydrostatic pressure of one hundred and eighty-two pounds per square inch, was tested to prove the effects of over-heating. The steam was hooted to seven hundred and fifty degrees, and a rupture took place in the boiler, but al- | Editorial Correspondence. Clthmikt, November 13, 1S73.

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. ramu. 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. CUTKBSKT. 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.

Henoe wo predict that next week, court having adjourned, matters will begin to improve again. JUDGE HAXSKX.L.

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.

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 since the Central Railroad Company has obtained control of nil tho boats on thu furrow with the guano, or subsoil furrow, so on, till completed.

The Atlanta Constitution and the Cor- tcrsville Standard erect their backs at tho proposition to hold the State Fair perma nently at Macon. Well, gentlemen, Ma con has never insisted upon it. In fact, sho has never even intimated any such desire. The Chronicle and Sentinel says it is proposed to open a regular school of tel egraphy in connection with tho Western Union Telegraph Office of that city, and five or six, or more, young men can take lessons if they desire it. Gao eg ia Corns.—The Constitutional ist says the first car load of ore from tho Bell Greene Copper Mines, in Greene county, Ga., passed over tho Georgia rail road two or three days ago, en route to Baltimore*, to be tested. The ore lias reached Baltimore, and we learn that the enterprise will prove a success.

Westmoreland.—Tho Talbotton Standard has these sound remarks in de fence of Mrs. Westmoreland. Wo are glad to read and reproduce them: We notice with regret this lady is being written against 03 the "renegade daugh ter of the South,” by those who C3teem her action in the Woman’s Congress, re cently assembled in New York, ns un friendly to tho prerogatives of Southern womanhood. Whatever Mrs. Westmore land might have said in that assembly, and we read the entire proceedings as re ported by the New York Herald, we are inclined to think she did not mean to place herself before the country a3 an ad vocate of woman’s rights, as this phrase is generally understood. We do not 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 sition on the rights of inteliectualwoman- hood is not in contravention of wrman’s duties to homo, and the high destiny ‘she fulfills in tho social economy of the world.

On Friday a large amount of currency was deposited in ono of the city banks—one firm alone depositing ? 17,300. The Captain or the Vieoinius. — Captain Fry, the ill-fated commander of the Virginias, was, says the Chronicle and Sentinel, a gentleman well known in Augusta. His brother—General Fry— commanded the post for sometime during the war, and Captain Fry, at that time a commander in the service of the Confed erate States, was often here. A ten room house on Line street, At lanta, was burned Friday night. It was untenanted and insured for only $1,000. It was the property of the Fulton Loan and Building Association.

Last year at the same date there were seven steamers, twenty-two ships, thirty barks, nine brigs and seven teen schooners. Ma. T. C. Warthen, of Washington county, who made five hales of cotton on cne acre of land, furnishes the Sandcrs- ville Herald with the following account of the land, its preparation, manurin'-, cultivation, etc.: The soil is sandy, with eby subsoil; has been in cultivation for GO or 80 years, 1 suppose. About half of the acre was an olu dung-hill, the other half verv poor before manuring. The guano I used was KcttiewelTs AA, or Phospho-Peruvian, 1,400 pounds ; raw pine-straw, from the cotton, in fact, had no use for any, as the cotton grew so fast the shade thereof pre vented all vegetation from growing un ilsniiatli Florida News. Otsters.—The Jacksonville Republi can correctly says the Stato of Florida has a mine of undeveloped wealth in its oyster beds. The oysters of Matanxas Ini. t, t. Ur Keys, St. Mark.", Apala-.-hi- cola and Pensacola are unsurpassed by any in the world in size and Savor, and they offer a fine field for lucrative invest ment. An extensive trade is done at Ce dar Keys and other points in shipping in the shell, but if they were canned it w- :! 1 i- more profit.:);!,-, and there would bo no limit to the extent to which the business might) attain. And in this 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.

There is great anxiety to see the com ments of the American papers. The Cnnstancia, jjcwspajvx, says: “No matter how much our country has fallen in the last five years, the Spanish people have not become degraded to such an extreme as to be frightened by thoso who might have to pay dear for their temerity and insolence in the event of intervention.” The mails per steamer Frankfort, from New Orleans, have been seized, and their distribution is not yet permitted.

Discouraged.—Tho Tallahassee Flor idian says the great scarcity of money and the low price of cotton furnishes ample ground to breed general distrust and much discouragement among the people. Times are indeed hard, and everybody seems to have the blues. Farmers are blue, business men are blue, printers are blue, and everything has a bluish hue. What will we do—what can we do ?

Also, the same night, the altar cloth of the Episcopal Church was stolon from the church building.” The catch of mullet at Jacksonville has been extraordinary within tho last week. Singular Death.—Wo hear, says tho Floridian, of a color-i boy in the Centro- ville neighborhood being stung in tho inonth by a bee last week while eating sugar, and dying from the effects thereof in fifteen minutes. The schooner II. G. Hands, from.New York to Jacksonville, was wrecked on tha St. Johns bar last'week. Sho was being towed in orer the bar in rough weather, when tho hauser broke and she drifted on one of tho banks and broke up and sunk in eight feet of water. Sho was loaded with general merchandise for Jacksonville merchants. About 25 per cent, of the cargo was saved. Maj. H. R.

A consid erable amount of business is before the court, too much to be gotten through within ono week and an adjourned term will probably be held in January to com plete it.

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 nowly discharged.

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 eonstitutionnl tnvigorant. a preparation uniting the properties of a gentle purgative, a tonic, a blood purifier and a general regulator is the great requisite in all diseases. Everywhere they aro coming to the conclusion that Simmons’Liver Regulator is precisely such a preparation.

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."
