The Rl-c In Provisions Nothing in the condition of European affairs justifies the increase in specula tion, and the rapid rise in all kinds of provisions which has happened in the last few weeks. That war sometimes promotes the demand for, and enhances the price of provisions in cases where it is of long continuance, and large drafts for the armies are made upon the pro ducing classes is undoubtedly true. But many changes have taken place in the world in theJast forty years, which ren der wars of long continuance almost im possible. Public opinion has improved, and men no longer suppose that glory can be acquired only on the hat tie field—more honor is given to the conquests of Peace. The capitalists of the world, without whose permission and aid its kings cannot draw the sword, find their interests jeopardized by pro longed hostilities. The improved arms and new methods of slaughter will bring battles to a more speedy decision, and will render it impossible for kings and generals, (since distance from the field now gives little assurance of safe ty) to reap glory without exposure of person. Besides these, there are other reasons which we cannot now enume rate for conjecturing that the present war, though it may be bloody, will be short. , . , The additions made to the armies ot the belligerents from the agricultural population have as yet been unimpor tant, and those who count on a diminu tion of production, and a consequent enhancement of prices from that cause will find themselves in error. The sol dier will eat no more in the field than he did in the barrack, as long therefore, as none other than the regular military forces are employed, there is no pros pect of an increase of consumption, be yond what is owing to waste from more frequent transhipments and greater ex posure to casualties. The inconsiderate speculations which have taken place in this country, have carried up provisions to snch a price,, that it said flour can be profitably im ported from Liverpool. A long time must yet elapse therefore, before those who have invested in that article at its present prices can reasonably hope to realize a profit by exportation. In the mean time the unremitting efforts of diplomacy may bring about peace, or the dagger of the assassin may effect the same result, by removing the mas ter spirit of the war. Already those speculators, who have forced prices up to such a preposterous pitch begin to j perceive the hazard of their operations and show a disposition to realize ; the consequence is that in the important produce markets of this country, all kinds of provisions are declining and those who, tempted by. the abundance and the “facility of procuring money, have embarked in these hazardous spec ulations, jwi^b^kelytosiiffer. That Marine Hospital. The Floridian &t Journal responds to our late allusion to the Surgeon of the Marine Hospital at St. Marks. We wonld publish what the editor says, but the paper is mislaid. He however, of fers as a reason why the Surgeon was in Tallahassee, that at the time we were there he had not received his com- 1 mission, and was waiting for it; and i that on receiving it, he repaired to St. Marks, where he has been, faithfully at his post ever since. The editor alludes to the ‘‘Port Physician,” and thinks we had the two confounded. We beg to say that we did not know that there was such an officer in the place ; and in conclusion, we have no objection in the world to their having a regiment of physicians at St. Marks. We do not know a people more deserving of some of Uncle Sam’s surplus funds than the Florida doctors—for we found the few it was our pleasure to know of them, a most courteous and gentlemanly set of fellows. Iff” The Atlanta Intelligencer says that we were wrongly informed by Adams’ Express as to the sex of the IndiaD brought home by Col. Cowart from his late mission. It was a boy and not a girl. We cheerfully make the correction. It was only an instance of their habit of keeping ahead of the males. k IS" A child was run over by a dray in f Charleston, on Tuesday, and killed.— ' rhree drays were racing at the time. A sad warning against the practice of fast driving in cities. «. isr The Baltimore American makes a calculation by which it ascertains that each member of Congress costs the country $16,554. A high price for a doubtful luxury. - HT” We were informed, says the San Jersville Georgian , a few days ago, by a citizen of this county, that, out a fine stock of hogs, he has now but two left, his whole stock, with that exception, having died with the disease which has b een prevailing among the hogs in this county some month past. — IfT 1 A man named Vtkinson, and his wife, were recently killed by lightning near Hickory Grove, lowa. They were sitting at the breakfast table, with a company, when stru.k with lightning. Both remained sitting in their chairs dead.|lhe laborer was not seriously hurt and the house but little injured. IST Upon invitation of the Union Society of Savannah, Governor Brown -visited their school on yesterday and was most cordially received by the boys one of whom made a speech, to which i '*he Governor responded and givinir the *3boys much fatherly advice. C i Newspaper Publishing. The veteran editor of the Chronicle Sentinel, after an experience of a quarter of a century, gives it as his opinion that the newspaper business, if long.follow ed. will give any one a poor opinion of the common honesty ot mankind. We have tried the business more than the eighth of a century, and regret to say that our estimate of the aggregate honesty of mankind has been consider ably lowered. There i 3 a great deal of latent, undeveloped rascality in the race, and if a man has any of it in his composition he is sure to exhibit it when his newspaper subscription becomes due* Within ttie twelve or fifteen years we have been engaged in the business, we have lost enough money through the rascality of our customers to make a man of moderate desires rich ! Many of those who owe us these small amounts, from $5 to SSO, are rolling in wealth and could pay any day in the! year, if they desired to do so Many others belong to the migratory tribe, who are here to day, and in Texas and California to morrow. Others belong to a class quite numerous, who write to editors to send them papers and they ' will pay when they gather their cotton j or do something else, but pay day never . comes ; and, finally, after sending the paper four or five years, it is ascertained 1 that they never "were worth a snap! 1 Another class of losses grows out of the negligence of postmasters. A subscri ber, after taking a paper six months or a year, leaves the country without giv ing the editor notice, and after four or five years have elapsed he happens to meet with the postmaster, who most magnanimously informs him that his subscriber has gone to “ parts un known,” and if he wishes to get any pay for his paper he had better stop it! Or, after suffering the paper to come two or three years, he writes to the editor that for the second or third time he will inform him that, the paper is not taken out, &c. — Athens Watchman. Our experience in connection with the press runs a little over a tenth of a cen tury, and we are unwilling to admit that it has tended to lower our estimate of “the common honesty of mankind.” “We are free to confess that it has con firmed our belief that editors are as a class the most credulous dupes, and ! worst financiers of the age. And we submit that the losses which attend the publishing business result chiefly from the bad management and folly of pub lishers themselves. During heated campaigns politicians are interested in scattering their party organs broadcast.among the sovereigns, and in that way many worthless sub scribers are added to an editor’s books, l who may pay in the heat of party feel ing, but of whom a dollar cannot be collected. These names are continued, from year to year, until the results in dicated in the above experience of our more venerable cotemporaries are sure to follow. It is common also to extend a promis cuous credit to applicants for advertis ing or job work, from all the ends of the earth. The credit system is always unsafe, when applied to the scattered patrons of la newspaper; for a man who is consid | ered honest and responsible to day, may , tomorow prove worthless, may die, or change his residence, forgetting to set tle with the Printer. Postmasters aie doubtless often culpable; but these no- i tices are frequently unheeded, and pa pers are sent from year to year after they have been returned as “ uncalled for.” The chief difficulty in the way of the success of editors, is of their own ma king ; and we are not disposed to claim j for our honored craft, more “aggregate j honesty” than belongs to the balance of mankind. What would an editor say of a mer-; I I chant, who established a store, and re tailed goods, on a credit to every man | wITo sent an order for them through the ! Post office, or of a farmer who would ‘ thus dispose of his wheat, corn, or cot- J ton crop? Would he not pronounce I him inevitably a bankrupt, and would 1 not Buck a fate be a reasonable return 1 for such consummate folly ? For our part, if we lose by such ex ; tensions of indulgence, we shall pocket j the loss, and grow wiser by the lesson ; Our colupins shall never be burdened with reproaches against the honesty of the public whose patronage we seek ; uor will we thus put on record the evi dence of our deserved misfortunes. Crop Correspondence. Auburn, Ala., May 31, 1859. Editors of Dispatch l have made much inquiry of the farmers in this neighborhood in reference to the crops. : What is a very striking fact is that I found none complaining. From this fact and my own observation, I conclude ; that Providence is smiling upon the la bore of the planters in the vicinity of Auburn. The wheat has been harvest \ ed, and a nice little crop it is. There will be a plenty, if not a surplus made in this region. Poor children will have cake and coffee and the little nigs will get many and many a plate-full of nice buscuits. There is a blessing upon us 1 here. The cotton is doing its prettiest just now. The corn fields have changed their aspect within two weeks ; you would scarce know them for the same . fl®lds. Most of the fields, at a distance, appear as one dense mass of verdure, ’ shutting out the ground from view.— s But ’ ’• ,10w the farmers work ! Eve- 1 s ?. ryth ' ng that 03X1 scratch is out and at ji. ton enquire for the carriage! horse, you will ’find him 5n the fie * d * I P r °P ellm « a ***** sweep among the ■ j corn or cotton. j There some apprehension that the . oats will be. effected with rust as last I year. The signs, however, are not very 1 [alarming. I There is much sickness in this place. | The dysentery is prevailing foan alarm jif'g extent. There have been more Uieat 8 within a month than usually oc cur in many years. This is deemed a very healthy place Prof. Darby, the i inventor ot the Miasmometer, an in strument by which the slightest pres : once of malaria can be detected, resides J here. He declares, lam told, that there are no miasms in this atmosphere. 1 suppose dialectic errors to be the predis posing cause. The prevalence of chil ly damp Eastern winds a part of each day and considerable heat another part, in other words alternations of tempera ture, maybe tlie chief exciting cause. Then the introduction of corrosive sub stances in the stomach and bowels, is the worst possible remedy. A Curious Bit of iFStoiy—How the Old Nor 1) *tnte was Bone om of Her Copper Mines. Looking along the boundary between North Carolina and Tennessee, it will be seen that the line, after pursuing a ; general southwest coast for nearly the whole way, suddenly bends directly south as it approaches the Georgia bor der. Now this line should have kept on (southwest, as it started, but the boun dary commissioners being so near the j close of their labors, resolved, it is said, i to indulge in a general “spree,” in the course of which the Carolinians got gloriously inebriated, and their Tennes see confreres amused themselves by changing the line, and cheating them out of a small corner. It was consider ed a capital joke at the time, for the land is “on its edge,” and appears to be of the sort that makes a man poorer the more he has of it. But it has late - ly been found to be no joke, as far as “Old Rip” is concerned at any*rate, for this very corner has in it the great cop per deposit of Ducktown, which con tains immense and inexaustible beds ot that valuable metal. Mining is in its infancy there, yet the valley already pours out its ores by mil lions worth, and constantly increasing every year. In ten years, probably, the market value of this mining region will be not less than a hundred mil lions. The line was run about fifty years ago, and North Carolina is barred by the statute of limitation from re clamation. The -‘mountain dew” was decidedly unwholesome that time for the good old State. ■ ■ ■■ —~ 1 —**■ •"**' Astonishing Programme. —The Buffa lo Republic says that Monsieur Blondin proposes to make an ascension on a I tight r. pe from the Canada shore to a (point on the American side directly over the Niagara Falls, by stretching a rope from the Canada side to a mast on this side. The ascension is to be made at night amid fireworks. The same paper says that he proposes to make, during thisjsummer, several ascensions ; in one of which it is his intention to go over in a sack, with nothing but his arms and met exposed. He also proposes to ' wheel some gentleman in a wheelbar- ; row. provided he can find some distin guished individual with nerve enough, who would like the enjoyment of a trip across the frightful chasm on a tight rope in a one wheel carriage ; and to make it still more interesting and frightfully terrific, he will carry a man on his back and wheel another at the same time, provided twogeneious per sons can be found who like to indulge in that kind of sport. The River. —The Memphis Bulletin, of the 21st iost., says : The river was not receding quite so rapidly yesterday as on the preceding day, the fall in the twenty four hours ending at 6 o’clock last night having amounted to only three inches. The water at that hour was precisely two feet below the flood line of the present year, and two feet four inches below the high water maik of 1858. The Avalanche, of the 23d instant, says: Yesterday the river was about sta tionary, and will likely remain so for a day or two, when it will doubtless com mence falling again, and go down rapid ly to low water mark. The river com menced falling at St. Louis on Satur day. Tuesday the water commenced to rise again at Memphis, at the rate of one i inch in twenty four hours. At Vicksburg a regular decline is ob served, and this is true in regard to all points below that place. Somebody accounts for Western hos pitality, by saying, that where houses are so far apart as in J that part of the country, a stranger is as welcome as a j newspaper, and is commonly used as 1 one. The moment he arrives, he is i “put in press,” and, what is more, kept there till all the news that has happen- I ed for the last six months is thorough ly squeezed out of him and bottled up j for future use. A man that tells a good ! murder story, could travel from one j [end of Indiana to the other without ex- ; I pense. An Ohio cow, something more than a j year ago. swallowed a piece of broom- | stick, 18 inches long, which remained j iu her stomach until a few days ago,; when it came out of her side. Letter from an Aboliton Fire Ea ter —Mr. E. T. Cox, a United States Marshal in Ohio, recently assisted in the arrest of a fugitive slave from Vir ginia, and shortly afterwards received the following anonymous epistle : May 11, 1859. E. T. Cox: Look out for your life, for a band of enraged men have bound themselves by the strongest oath that can be sworn to murder you. Don’t despise this warning nor think it comes from a friend neither,for 1 hate and despise you as bad as any of them and if they would have been content to tar and feather you I would have let you take it and helped to boot, or any thing else but to take your life. But mean as you are I don’t want you kiled. So just take care of yourself or you will git a blue pill or be bled with a big lan cet some of these nights that will stop your hunting poor darkeys. So look out and you wonld better keep it to yourself that you got this let- j ter or they may take some other tack on you, and may tie find me out too. Don’t keep any horses or cattle shut up in your barn. Do you understand. Artesian Well.—A gentleman wri ! ting from Louisville, Ky., says : “Among those places of interest that I have visited is the Artesian well, which is 2000 feet deep, and throws itfi ■ a jet of one hundred feet in height.— j From the taste and smell of the water, j I should judge that in boring they had ] tapped the main sewer of his Satanic j Majesty’s dominfbus.” Paul Morphy arrived at Boston on ..aturday morning He was received at the depot by a committee of the Boston Chess Uub and escorted to the Revere House. the formal reception took place on Saturday afternoon at the Chess Club rooms.
