York Herald report of hut October, part
nf the proceeding, of an “ International
Congress of Land and Forest Culturi.ts,"
hM at Vienna, during tbe recent Kxpoti-
tion. Tbe facta developed therein on
the aubject of tho influence of forests
upon rainfall and climate, were exceed
ingly intereating rod aeem to na to set at
rest a point warmly advanced, and aa
•arncatly controverted, that the amount
of rainfall ia very largely promoted by
fereot growth, and aa largely diminished
by stripping the earth of ’U forest cover
ing-
in that debate, indeed, it was roundly
asserted that man could pretty nearly
graduate the amount of rainfall by regu
lating the area of forest. That by this
process be could turn a fruitful soil into
an arid desert, and tries vena; and, in
fact, so control the amount of surfaoe
drainage as to make and unmake naviga
ble rivers. If that article escaped the
reader's attention, we beg to refer him to
it again in tbs edition of yesterday.
AMtiming that this high scientific an-
gbaeity and cartful observation of physi
cal phenomena all over tbe earth, are to
be rcltsd upon, we want to call attention
to some remarkable climatic modifications
la the United flteter, which have taken
place sines the war, and been more par
ticularly noticeable within the past three
years. We want to direct tbe reader's
notice to the fact that, particularly with
in tbe past three years, the summer cli
mates of the North and the South seem
almost to have changed places. In the
South, instead of our long customary
summer drouths which used to be so often
very injurious or fatal to the corn crop
and vegetables, we now have supera
bundant and even submerging rains in
June and July: and the change ia so
fgrgnt at really to modify farm products.
Stew look at the converse fact in the
{Cerib ,and West. There a moist and
watery t has given piece to terri
ble ■unnw drouths which dry up the
springs and wsfls— seriously diminish the
avstsr supplies of the great cities-parch
up the great grans and clover crops, and
produce such inflammable conditions of
field, forest Md city that the country and
tha world have bsen shocked by many
successive great conflagrations in all
three, which have Involved the most dis
tressing loss of life and property.
To what, tlion. but to the same causes—
the spread and the destruction of forest
growth are tho aesingulardimatioehanges
due? In the Southern State,, the aboli
tion of slavery and consequent abstrac
tion of auch a vast proportion of our labor
from the Held, is hut remitting from ono-
half to two-thinls of onr onee cultivated
my-a to the bush. Tho most of thin land
wa, c riglnally pine, and therefore lightly
ahvlej, whereas it ia now ro-covered with
a dense sc.’ub growth far more effective
than the on'g.'nal growth, in producing
those chemical Changes in the atmosphere
resulting in rain.
Now how U it in tin North and West ?
Tho following article informs us «
Tua Fiumbz** or tite Ttstnsn Glut-
TOXT.—Mr. James Little, of Montreal,
fovea res that the people of the United
States will give their pine, hemlock and
spruce lands east of the Rocky Mountains
such a clean shave within the next ten
years that there will be nothing left worth
mentioning. These kinds of lumber, he
■says, are ohiefly found in Maine, New
York, Pennsylvania, ^rfichigan. and on
tha head waters of tho Mississippi >»
Minaesota and Wisconsin. Maine's sup
ply of pint, is nearly gone, and her people
ar.- cutting spmoe as smsll ss six inches.
Pennsylvania is annually cutting off
MO.OOOtXM feet, chiefly of pino and hem
lock. which will use up tho whole in Iocs
than five years, and northern New
York, which produces 3sW.000.000 feet an
nually, is going to be appropriated by the
state as a reservoir and public park. The
destruction of trees in Minnesota and
Wisconsin i, rapidly increasing. Tho
■cost.-imption of these kind, of timber in
Michigan, a State that is supposed to
bave mj inexhaustible supply, reached,
last year, t.\910,000,000 feet, the Chicago
fire making a tremendous draft npon the
forests, and thU year's product is 2,000,-
000,000. Oar alarmist figures that the
next floien yens will require seventy
thousand million feet of timber, which
would oover fourteen million acres,
whereas we have only scrim million
acres uncut. Canada is already largely
•lrsvn upon, hut. says tho srriter. were
she to supplv the immediate wants of
the United State*, every stick of her pine
cast of tits Rocky mountains would be
used np in three years. Tho unequal
duty imposed by tho United States Gov
ernment, by which the cheaper kinds of
timber from Canada arc shot out of the
market, is severely criticised. Tho state-
neats of this writer are somewhat alarm-
lag. and hi* strictures on the duty very
C tpse. but what can we do ? We must
re the timber, and all that is left us is
to go ah* id and cut it. and when it is
gone, the good Lord will hunt ns np
something better, a, he did when we hail
borpooned all the whales, and the oil was
-getting low in our lamps.
Thu- wa oee that precisely opposite
pm vttisore going on in the two sections.
The South is rapidly reverting to the
bush, under the inspirations of African
•free lom, nn l the North, nnder a heavy
demand for lumber, is being still more
rapidly stripped of her forest covering.
Some may point us to the fact that
there is slso s somewhat heavy devasta
tion of pine forest* for lumber in the
South. This U true; but the process of
denudation in pine is Terr slow, com
pared with that of reinvestment in a
.denser oaken shade; and the shade of
gaathem P-UO timber trees, st best, is
•very light, while that c-f the Northern
vrhis- nine, spruce, hemlock and Lack-
lastacd sc as dense a shade ,u any forest
jreM r. is’, of.
Thus it vs;ds to ns the view, of this
Interesting pap.* Are amply sustained by
grand existing phase mona in the territory
of the United States, and the people of
the South mat count eta>.wt with oer-
xaictv :ijvn an alteration in the character
of their climate, justifying and calling
for different processes in agriculture and
a e^rresjion i.ug modification of crops.

The Star say* the storm Sunday night
blew down one of tbe five spire* of the
Methodist church and the railing around
the cupelo of the Female College, besides
doing great damage to fencing.
The SroBB Schdat Night.—The Rome.
Augusta, America* and Columbus papers
furnish full details of the storm. At the
first-named place one block of building,
and two storehouses were nnroofod, some
shanties blown down, and fences in town
and country almost universally levelled
with the ground. A heavy rain followed
tho storm. At Augusta the end of one
wing of the Planters’ Loon and Savings
Bank warehouse was blown down and
the bricks thrown against a neighboring
boose, damaging it considerably. An
other end of another wing of tho same
warehouse was also blown down. Many
chimneys, trees and fences were also
blown down—two of the trees, very largo
oaks, near tbe Sand Hills being torn np
by the roots. The damage to the fences
in the country around Augusta was very
great. At Columbus a portion of the tin
roofing of the Alabama warehouse and
some from the Fontaine warehouse was
blown off. and thechimneysof the steamer
Handy Moore blown on to the pilot house
completely demolishing it. Chimneys,
trees and fences suffered severely. At
Amcricus the damage wa* confined to
trees and fences. Hail-stones of two or
three pounds weight were found on the
streets the next morning, and the roofs of
many houses were loaded with masses of
ice. A ginkouae of Mr. John David, six
miles from Columbus, was also blown
down.
Tns Columbus Sun announces the
death of Mr. E. Barnard, for forty years
one of tho most prominent merchants of
that city.
From Moxhoe Couxtt.—Wo find the
following items in the Forsyth Advertiser
of Tuesday:
A Terribi.k Storm.—One of tho se
verest wind, hail and rain storms that we
bavo hail in this vicinity for a number of
years began on Sunday night about 11
o’clock and continued for eight hours
without abatement. Among the material
damage done by the storm we note Mr.
Joseph Moran’s warehouse, which was
damaged to tho amount of $400. The
wind forced open the doable doors and
lifted off a portion of tbo roof. The ga
ble end of one section of tho Pye Houso
was blown down; the chimneys of the
residences of Mr. James D. Proctor and
Mr. W. Y. White were partially blown
down. Tho cirens pictures were demol
ished and palings were scattered around
promiscuously.
Another Falsehood Nailed.—It will
be remembered that a report was circu
lated throughout tho State, in September
last, that two ladies, Mrs. Campbell and
Chambers, living near Madison in Morgan
county, had fallen lieir to a large amount
of money in F/nnce. Through tho kind
ness of Prof. Bechter, we are permitted
to publish a letter from tho non. Judah
P. Benjamin, Queen’s Counsel [of Great
Britain 1 , showing tho report to nave been
a mischievous fabrication:
Temple, London, Oct. 27,1873.
3Sr.ll. Bethtrr: Dear Sir—In answer
to yonr favor of the 7th inst., I am very
sorry to inform yon that the whole story
about the ©state coming to Mrs. Campbell
and Mrs. Chambers, is an absnrb Table,
and that there is not one word of truth in
It from beginning to end. Those ladies
havo been duped by a swindler who has
imposed upon their credulity.

Citizens' Meeting.—On last Wednes
day night a largo number of tho dtlxens
of Forsyth assembled in the Court-house
for tho purpose of taking some action in
regard to tbe money issued and circulated
by tbe City Council, and which has been
attacked through the court, for want of
constitutionality, etc. Most of the peo
ple present were enthusiastic in support
of the proposition to snstain tho money,
although the courts should hold that the
samo whs upoonstitutionnl and illegal.
Many ,pooches wore made setting forth
tho great good sud beneficial revolts
which had accrued to the town and coun
ty generally by reason of tho circulation
of the money, together with the moral
obligation upon every citizen to sustain
tho money and prevent innocent holders
from suffering. It will be seen, by refer
ence to the resolutions passed and signed
by the parties, that thuy obligate them
selves, individually and collectively, to
redeem the same. It appears from the
resolutions that the individual liability
assumed to make the money good,
amounts to at least three-quarters of a
million of dollar* This money still
passes currently and is good for foreign
exchange and greenback, at tho bonks.
We are authorized to say that merchant*
in adjoining towns an-l cities who may
receive the money can get currency for
the same hy calling on the banks.
Another Gin-hocsx Burned.—We re
gret to learn that on last Tuesday, about
3 o'clock, the gin-house of Mr. J. F.
Clower. containing seven bales of Cotton,
was completely destroyed by fire. The
fire is supposed to have originated from
a reek or match in the cotton. Loss be-
t»~)j-. $1,000and $1,200.
Mon* Cotton- Bcrssd.—We under
stand that Mr. Cicero Pritchett hod two
bales of cotton in tho seed burned on last
Saturday night, in a cotta* house on the
plantation of Mr. Jno. H. Greene, The
negro guilty of the foal and dastardly
act, has been captured: and we under
take to ssv will suffer the full penalty of
the law.
Good Cotton Fickixo.—Mr. Jas. M.
White has a negro cn his place who

Condition or Alabama
What swift destruction—what a total
and awful blight has followed the one
year’s lapse of Alabama into the fool em
braces of negro radicalism may be seen
in the following summary of her condi
tion which forms the opening paragraph
of an article npon the State debt, in the
Montgomery Advertiser of last Tuesday.
Says that paper:
It is not easy to imagine a State in
worse condition, financially, than this
once opulent and thriving commonwealth.
It has wasted and wilted in the poisonous
breath of radicalism, like every other
Southern community, only to a somewhat
more miserable extent than some others.
Alabama owes a debt it is not possible
with her small and now broken and poor
population, to pay. No Legislature can
ever be brought to the capital that will
take the responsibility of trying to levy
and collect a tax to meet in fall the
direct debt of the State, to pay for a rea
sonable school system, and the current
expenses of the Government. The di
rect debt of the State, when correctly
ascertained, will be found to amount to
near $25,000,000. The floating debt sill
be found to amount to several other mil
lions The State’s Treasury is empty and
likely to continue so. Her credit is at
the lowest point. She cannot borrow, if
at all, except at a ruinous discount, lie
assets of the State we regard as almost
nihil, under present circumstances. The
planters are nearly all in debt. Tbe few
manufacturing establishments in the
State are cither ruin-d or crippled. We
believe the Southern and Central por
tions of Alabama are bankrupt. The
State, as a whole, is bankrupt.
We do not mean to say that the rad
icals created such an enormous debt as
this in a single year—it was, on the con
trary. tho accumulation of several years
of their administration. Bat, as every
addition to a heavy burden tells with
vastly augmenting force, so it is probable
that it was the last year which made the
harden wholly insupportable. As the
boundaries of solvency are approached
an increase of debt, comparatively insig.
nificant, in itself considered, may be fatal.
It is the last straw, says the old eastern
proverb, that breaks the camel's back.
Alabama, with a year's breathing spell
under a Democratic administration, was
beginning to recover, but tbe triumph of
the African majority and their fuglemen
last fall and their revolutionary move
ments in running a duplicate State Leg
islature completed the financial rain of
the State in a very short time.
We point to the fate of Alabama ns a
beacon of warnirg to Georgia. There is
no chanco for Georgia if, by any means,
that hybrid party of destruction and ruin
get into power for a single gubernatorial
term. Georgia owes now just os much
os she can carry, and any material addi
tion to the debt would be ruinous.
The constant peril under which we live
of a State Government wholly irresponsi
ble to and wholly careless of the tax
payers, demands (as wc remarked yester
day) some constitutional provisions re
stricting the power of the Legislature to
create debt- At present we are in peril
of financial ruin aa the result of every
election. A Government controlled by
non tax payers is in its very composition
so fatally wrong that ruin must inevita
bly follow it; and tho fate of all the
negro States of the South is not acciden
tal—not attributable merely to the ex
ceptional rascality of these politicians,
but it ia the certain result of tho crazy,
impracticable system established by the
Radicals—which can never work out any
other conclusion than political, social and
financial ruin.
Tire Scene or the Bdtcheut.—Santi
ago do Cuba, a city whose name will
henceforth be heard with a shudder, was
formerly the capital of Cuba. It is a
maritime city, and in IS53 contained a
population of 21,253. It is the second
city in size on the island, and is situated
on the Santiago riTer, six miles from its
mouth, on the south coast. It is well
built, with wide streets, and houses
chiefly of stone. The principal buildings
are the cathedral, several other churches,
& college and numerous convents and
schools. Its port is four miles in length,
is well sheltered, is defended by several
forts, and is doop enough for ships of the
line. It is romantically situated, being
hemmed in hy mountains, but the olimate
is said to be very unhealthy.
Tns Washington Star sets it down as
absolutely certain that within five years
we shall havo: "1. A postal savings
bank; 2. A Government telegraph; 3.
A bureau of railroads and transportation;
4. Free bonking.” The spirit which de
mands the last named, as the Nashville
Union and American well says, is opposed
to tho previous three. In fact, the first
and fourth are self-contradictory. Of
Federal interference in banking the
country has had enough, and we rather
think an awakened people are beginning
to appreciate that Federal control of tel
egraphs and railroads would mean a
doable army of administration hirelings
equally ready to do dirty work for their
party or to embezzle the people’s money
passing through their hands.
Charleston—Cm Affairs.—The new
bybred Radical city government of
Charleston was inaugurated last Monday
in the presenoe of a great crowd of exult
ant negroes and a small sprinkling of
whites. The News and Courier claims
that the Wagoner administration reduced
the city debt three-quarters of a million,
main rained public order and improved tbe
condition of the streets and public prom
enades.
VXNOXANCE CTOS THE PERPETRATORS
or the Grant Parish Oitraoe.—A
Bayou Sara dispatch confirms the death
of the outraged young lady, Miss La-
eoor, and tells this ttory of revenge:
On Sunday Hampton Henderson and
two other n-groes were brought into Col
fax hy colored men, who were threatened
with death if thev harbored the perpe
trators of the Grant parish outrage.
They were turned over to Alford Shelby,
Deputy Sheriff, but the citizens took
charge of them, conveying them in the
direction of C- C. Nash's residence- They
were shot after confessing that n ; ue oth
ers were concerned in the attack on Mad
ame Lacouris residence. Mumford Wells
shot two more the day following, near
Mr. Loushard’s house, 'with double-bar
reled shot-guns, having been discovered
and tracked to that point. On Tuesday
fifteen citizens from Alexandria surprised
three more hiding from arrest. Another
one was hung in Rapides parish the same
day. One of them was tracked as far as
the toll-gate, three miles from Alexan
dria. The other two are known to beret
in Grant pari.-h, and when caught, they
will undoubtedly share the same lute us
the other*.

Conviction of Tweed.
The Tweed jury has returned a verdict

exceptions to any except a general verdict
on all the counts. The defense moved
an arrest of judgment on the ground of

by the act of 1873. The Court replied
that it was useless to waste time, as the
Court was convinced on these points.
The defense remonstrated. Judge Davis
replied he had no intention to wound the

Lieutenant Fletcher has reported at
the yard as recruiting officer. His head-
quarters is on the receiving ship Belief,
lying at the dock. Already some men
have enlisted and a Large number of in
quiries have been made as to terms. The
volunteer movements to raise troops havo
thus far been among the colored people,
who, though no official intimation stim
ulates their action, apprehend that the
Government will havo need for their ser
vices in the field.
Tho loss excitable, and by far the
larger part of the population are settling
down in the belief that the services of
those first to declare their willingness to
enlist for Cuba will not be required.
Prominent gentlemen who have, hereto
fore, been opposed to the acquisition of
Cuba, now express themselves in favor
of such a measure. They say tho Span
iards receive from the United States
many million of dollars annually for such
articles as wo import from Cuba, while
the United States are. owing to restric
tions and arbitrary trade regulations, al
most excluded from commercial advant
age in the matter of exports.
As one instance of its truth, tho export
of flour amounts nearly to a prohibition,
it being carried first to Spain and thence
to Cuba, at a duty of eight dollars a bar
rel. And so or other American products.
Those gentlemen would prefer a new
commercial treaty, provided one could be
obtained on just and equitable terms,
with responsible guarantees for its faith
ful execution; but as the Spanish Gov
ernment has shown itself powerless to en
force its authority in Cuba, and from tho
further fact that our commerce has been
frequently interfered with by the Span
ish authorities, the most certain way
of relieving ourselves from present and
future trouble would be to acquire
the island in tho best way possible. At

Death of Clarence J. Prentice.
Washington, November 19. — Major

from a buggy. His son. who was in the
buggy with him, was unhurt. The acci
dent occurred recently in Kentucky.
Fish Interviews Grant.
The President had a long interview
with Fish to-day. No other visitors were
admitted.
Somo Flacky Talk.
The samo paper says, editorially, that
the laws ought to be enforced energeti
cally against conspirators without con
sideration, either little or much, for what
strangers may say or do. We are owners
of onr homes snd are well able to manage
our own affairs and defend onr rights.
Advices from Santiago de Cuba, dated
the 12th instant, say that on that day the
captain of the British steamer Niobe and
the British Consul at Santiago, were in
the prison and had on interview with the
captives who remained alive. It was ex
pected at Santiago that the United States
steamer Wyoming would reach there on
the 13th.
Unanimity in the Cabinet.
As an evidence of the entire unanimity
in the cabinet on the exciting complica
tions growing out of the Yirginins cap
ture, and its consequences, it may bo
mentioned that all the cabinet officers,
though guarded in their expressions as
to what diplomatic action has been taken
by the Government, or what will be tho
result of it, do not hesitate to speak their
entire confidence in the President, and
the approval by the people of the course
pursuit, when the same shall become'
known. It is a noticeable fact that in
these expressions, there is evidence of
thorough accord between the President
and his cabinet.
Secretary Richardson, in conversation
with a representative of the Associated
Press to-day, stated: I have every con-
fidcnce in Secretary Fish. He will do
just right, and you may rest assured that
he will not bo carried away by excite
ment; neither will he yield one bit of the
national honor.
In reference to the ability of tbe
United States to wage a successful war
with Spain, should it be found necessary
to resort to arms, he said: Should such
a coarse be decided npon, our Treasury
Department is fully prepared. We hare
enough money to commence with; but
exactly qs t<j what will be done after-
wards'depends upon tho prolongation of
a war; thongh I have no donbt It would
be of short duration. As Congress will
be here in two weeks it is very certain
that there will be no difficulty in raising
all the means we want.
A war, of course, will be expensive, as
it require* large sums of money to move
armies and fit out ships; but we are
eqnal to the emergency.
He then asked the question: “Do you
find the Cabinet warlike?” and npon be
ing answered that the sentiment seemed
to be to uphold the national honor, ho
repeated tne opinions of Mr. Fish are
correct and the Treasury Department is
prepared to maintain these opinions.
Question—“Do I understand. Judge,
that yon are in favor of the annexation
of Cuba r”
Answer—(After a significant silence)
“While I do not say what I am favor of,
I do say that I will stand by Mr. Fish
and whatever the State Department
does. I believe the S-.-cretary of State is
a careful, cautious and judicious man,
and that he will not get us into any em-
oarrassments. That is my decided opin
ion. I have not given much attention to
the subject. In its present shape it be
longs entirely to the Department of State.
I assume that if w» had war with Spain
it would result in the annexation of Cuba.”
The Secretary was then asked if the
acquisition of that island would not ma
terially disarrange the tariff system; to
which he replied: At first, of course it
would upset everything, as we would lose
a large sum of money the first year from
import duties cn sugar and tobacco, which
we now receive; but, after that, our in-
ternal collections on those articles, espe
cially on tobacco, would much more than
compensate for that loss.
Question—“Would it not be necessary
to keep a large army of customs officers
there f"
Answer—“Yes, it would be a great
place for smuggling. It would necessi
tate the establishment of custom-houses
all along the coast, and as there is such
an extent of coast, many persons would
have to be employed to guard it.”
The Secretary was asked if the De
partment knew officially of the past his-
j tory of the Ylrginius. He replied that it
only outrages in the West India waters
to redress, but those against American
citizens residing on the island. These
have been the subjectof negotiation which
has been embarrased by Spanish official
delays and the opposition of the Cuban
authorities, the latter being controlled by
Casina Espagnol, more potent than the
throne itself in Cuba: besides, there is
no way of putting an end to slavery and
the cruel and barbarous Coolie trade.
Under the present circumstances, if we
have to depend on the promises made by
the Spanish government, which havo
thus far failed, of the executions of re
forms in Cuba and Porto Rico in these
respects which have been pressed by our
Government, but without a practical re
sult, it is for the reason, as already
stated, that the Spanish government is
impotent to enforce its authority. They
say the most common observer must
see that this state of affairs can
not exist very much longer. The
public patience is nearly exhausted,
and there is no telling when something
more than protests nnd the asking for
explanations, on our part, will be unani
mously demanded by the citizens of the
United States, to secure peace on our
border, and to guard American interests
and honor from future molestation and
injury, and, furthermore, to terminate
forever tho repetition of barbarities to
ward prisoners, whether taken in- insur
rection, or otherwise, which, while they
receive the strong condemnation they de
serve, havo more than once been officially
condemned by our Government as con
trary to tbe humane and Christian senti
ment of the age.

What Negro Mastery Means.
The Chester (S. C.) Reporter chroni
cles another feat of that negro “trial jes-
tice” and his constable, Isom Grier, and
expresses the deliberate conviction that
it is the purpose of the black and white
Radicals there to goad the whites into re
volt against the State authorities, so as
to get possession of their property. It
says:
We regret to be compelled to chronicle
another most inexcusable outrage in this
county perpetrated under the pretence
of legal authority. Or rather, we regret
that we can do nothing moro than chron
icle it. Employed on tho farm of Mr.
John A. Marion, a few miles east of this
place, is a respectable young white man,
named Henry Ferrell, aged about twenty-
two years. He wa3 summoned to work
on the public highway last summer; but
forgot the matter and neglected to ap-
>car when summoned. On last Monday
!som Grier, a negro- constable, went to
the plantation of Mr. Marion with a war
rant for the arrest of Mr. Ferrell as a
defaulter, a warrant issued by Ben Mich
ael, a negro trial justice. The constable
found Mr. Ferrell employed at tho gin
house of Mr. Marion, and arrested him.
Mr. Ferrell desired to go to the dwelling
house to get his coat, he being in his
shirt sleeves, and for the purpose of lot
ting Mrs. Marion, the only other white
terson on the plantation at the time,
mow where he was going to. This priv
ilege was refused him by the negro con
stable, and, upon his insisting upon going
to tbe house tho said constable called to
his assistance some other negro men who
were at work about the gin house, seized
the young man, overpowered him, and
tied him hard and fast. He was brought
to town, thrown i»to jail, and on Tuesday
was carried before Michael and squeezed
to the extent of ton dollars and ninety-
five cents. Ho was only a defaulter for
one day’s work on the roads. These are
tho facts as furnished to us by Mr. John
A. Marion, than whom there is no more
respectable nor truthful man in Chester
county.
