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.

One of the critic* suggests that little Edward wanted to go . as is common are being turned upside down without smiting to get out the "last picking;” and wheat is being sowed srith a rash. Ho says that the farmers ho talk, with say their dream of sudden wealth through cotton ha, dissolved; henceforth they will raise corn and small grain, and en .deaTor to keep out of debt.” 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. Yours, truly. J. P. Benjamin. 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 picket! 355 pounds of cotton in one day, last weak. Mr. Gus Smith “sees that, and goe, him better, thus : his son, four teen Tears of age, in a eor.test with a ne gro boy. picked in one day, 5S6 pounds; the negro pieking ii.it? pounds. This ex ceeds any picking that we have heard of this season, in Middle Georgia, and is truly wonderial for this season. The "Quitman Guards” of Forsyth have reorganized with Geo. A.

It is just 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*.

The Tweed jury has returned a verdict of guilty on all counts. The defense took exceptions to any except a general verdict on all the counts. The defense moved an arrest of judgment on the ground of want of jurisdiction, and that the act creating the Board of Audit was repealed 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 feelings of counsel for the defense. The defense said tho answers by the prosecu tion to tho points made by the defense were humiliating—tho prosecution calling them “trifling.” Tho banks to-day gained a million and a half of legal tenders.

A large force is engaged in the Ordinance Department -Pin r- ammunition. 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 present tho Spanish government is op- posed to a separation of her colonies from the mother country; but hereafter there might bo a state of affairs which would not admit of a previous consultation with Spain on that subject.

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.

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.
