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.

HT” We were informed, says the San

having died with the disease which has
b een prevailing among the hogs in this
county some month past.

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.—

I There is much sickness in this place.

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

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.

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- ;

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.

the following statement for the benefit ol the af
flicted :
I was attacked with the Liver Complaint,
which apparently brought me to the brink ot
the grave. During my sickness I was attended
1 by three physicians in our place, but received
commended for such complaints, but they af
forded me no relief. As a last resort, I was
persuaded to try Wiitar's Balsam of Wild
Cherry , and by using four bottles I was restored
to better health than I have enjoyed before for
ton years. This statement may be relied upon
as strictly true. Bktset I’Er ait.
Theubovo certificate was in ttepre
, sence of Dr. A. Strong, ol Honesdale, wh- .s well
| known in his vicinity as a successful practitioner.
