Letter Upon Deep Culture*
Mr. Gustin’s letter in explanation of his
plan of deep cnltnre will be found very valua
ble and Interesting. We cannot doubt that he
is doctrinally and practically right, and that sur
face culture is not sound in theory or safe in
practice. But every man to his opinion. We
shall never Bet ours up for authority in agricul
ture. The challenge of the popular Dickson the
ory of surface cnltnre is bold, and the arguments',
against seem to ns strong, reasonable and corf
elusive.
From Clay County.
Mr. Tnoker, of the Chattahoochee Mirror, is
in town representing his paper, and we com
mend him to the kindness and patronage of our
citizens. Mr. Tucker reports crops in Clay
county in fine condition. They have never suf
fered seriously from drought and they have not
yet been injured by wet. There is no complaint
of rust or caterpillar. Cotton uniformly healthy
and flourishing. Good com crops and the coun
ty healthy and in cheerful mood.
Sohofied’s Ikon Wobks.—At this vielly es
tablishment every piece of machinery a planter
may need can be procured on reasonable terms
—cotton presses, cane mills, sugar kettles, gin
and mill gearing, horse powers, etc., etc., of
the most approved construction. Our adver
tisement last year procured orders for this ma
chinery from as distant points as Louisiana and
Texas, and we hope it may do as much this
year. _
London Times os Chinese Immigration. —The
London Times of last Thursday has its leading
article upon Chinese immigration to the United
States. That paper thinks the conflict of races
in California cannot be solved by heavy duties
on immigration or by street ontrages. It is im
possible to suppose that the Chinese can be
kept ont of America. Inheriting an ancient
civilization and the most perfect economy, but
destitute of the strength and toughness of moral
fibre which support authority, the Chinese may
be welcome as assistants in colonization but not
feared as a race likely to dominate in the future.
Yeboee. —The Philadelphia Press says a
friend of CoL Ycrger, who writes to the Cincin
nati Commercial in his defence, and endeavors
to show that for years past he has been insane,
says: “ When conscription was the law of our
necessity, CoL Yerger forsook his friends, sought
shelter at the Federal headquarters at Vicks
burg, and betrayed cowardice and disloyalty to
his section by telling all he knew of the Confed
erate movements."
Another Chance foe Liberia.—Rev. Wm.
MoLain, of Washington City, Secretary of the
African Colonization Society, gives notice that
the society’s ship Golconda will sail from Balti
more for Liberia about the first of November.
Through tickets will be given to all colored per
sons of good character, who desire to emigrate
to their “native heath;” also six months’sub
sistence after their arrival. Those qualified to
act as missionaries or teachers, whether male or
female, will be employed at good salaries.
Washington College, Va.—A catalogue of
this institution informs the public that Washing
ton College numbers 348 students, and a Facul
ty composed of twenty-three distinguished pro
fessors and instructors, over whom General
Robert E. Lee is the presiding officer. Proba
bly no College in the United States is taking
more rapid strides to a leading position than
this one. Its students come from twenty-two
States of the Union.
Cotton Supplies from India.—The British
Cotton Supply Association has adopted a reso
lution looking to the speedly development of the
railways in India, in order to facilitate the ex-
poration of cotton from that country. The re
solution says that this course is taken in conse
quence of the insufficiency of the supply of cot
ton from this country, the stock of American
cotton not being large enough to keep the mills
of Lancashire engaged.
Another Heavx Rain in Augusta.—Yester
day afternoon says the Constitutionalist of the
31st nit., we were visited by yet another heavy
and continuous rain, under which the city drains
again almost overflowed and filled the streets
with water, almost if not quiet equal in extent
to the flood of Wednesday. The Savannah
river, from the effect of the late heavy rains, is
booming, and a few more only of such as fell
yesterday will be required to give us a first-
class freshet and a general inundation.
The colored people of Putnam county gener
ally had a large barbecue at Eatonton on Satur
day, 31st inst. They had a procession composed
of the colored bone and sinew of the county,
headed by music with numerous banners none
offensive or calculated to irritate the whites.—
Several hundred were present behaving in a
quiet and orderly manner—no drunkenness or
quarreling.
The Troops in Wilkes.—The Washington
Republican assigns as the object of the military
expedition to Wilkes, the support of the United
States revenue officers in the assessment and
collection of Internal Revenue in that county.
Forney’s Washington Chronicle announces that
they are getting np a little rebellion in the
Third Collection District of Georgia—which we
don’t believei. The.people have more sense
than that. - _
Land Near Atlanta.—The Intelligencer an
nounces sales of land at Kirkwood,near Atlanta,
by Col. Adair, on Friday. Nineteen thousand
one hundred and fifteen acres were sold at prices
ranging from thirty-nine to seventy-nine dollars
per acre.
Rust in the Southwest.—A friend just up
from Southwestern Georgia reports a good deal
of rust in the cotton in Macon, Sumter, Dough
erty and Baker counties. This makes us long
for sunshine.
Quondam.—The Constitution calls .** Quon
dam, " of the New York Times a “Radical cor
respondent." Rumor identifies that writer with
the . editor of one of the Georgia Democratic
newspapers.
Bitten by a Rattlesnake.—A lad named Jas.
Lawson was bitten by a rattlesnake on the 14th
inst, on the plantation of W. S. Bush, near
Ellisville, Florida, and died in twelve hours af-
ter he receiven the bite.
Dooly County.—We think it will be rare to
find a county in Georgia at this time without a
sufficiency of rain, but a friend in Dooly county
writes us that they have had only some
partial rains, though not a sufficiency. The re
cent drought injured the crops very much.
. Two gentlemen left Selma, Ala., a few days
since for San Francisco for a shipment of Chi
nese. They had orders for five hundred labor
ers.
The Canadians are again excited over rumors
of another Fenian raid. Orders have been is-
sued to get the gunboats on the Lakes ready for
active service.
An Evektvul Week.—The Alabama and
Kentucky elections take place to-day. The Ten
nessee election occurs next Thursday. The
great eclipse will come off, according to ap
pointment, on Saturday next
Opposed to Immigration.
The last number of the Southern Cultivator
■has an article of considerable length from Mr
David Dickson, of Hancock, in which that gen
tleman very earnestly deprecates immigration
of all kinds to the South and to Georgia. He
maintains (we write from memory) that the ne
groes instead of falling off in number will show
by the next census an important increase—quite
sufficient for the real- labor necessities of the
country; and that every interest of the South
pleads against a rapid increase of the cotton
crop. It will only increase labor and diminish
prices and profits. Mr. Dickson is not singular
in these ideas. We have heard them strongly
expressed by other gentlemen of intelligence and
discretion.
We should attach a great deal more import
ance to this cotton idea, if we thought it likely
to be a practically sound one, for any great
length of time. If the planters of the South
could go on indefinitely, raising two and a half
million bales, and getting thirty cents a pound
for it, the financial status could hardly be im
proved, so far as they are concerned. But all
the probabilities are that, if we fail to meet the
growing demands of the world for raw cotton,
the famine will find its relief in other quarters,
and the South sink in relative importance as a
cotton producer very fasti
We think our permanent interest lies, there
fore, in the opposite direction, and consists in
regaining our ancient status—in monopolizing
the business of cotton production—in increasing
our products, at the expense of foreign pro
ducers—even if we have to do it at some abate
ment in the price. It is better to vanquish
foreign competition, than to run the risk of
becoming its victims. With the business in our
own hands, we have made a permanent con
quest—but,while competing with the whole out
side world as producers, our position is still in
secure. So far as the practical fact of immi
gration is concerned, it will make no vital dif
ference whether the South aids or deprecates it
It will come in any event In the one case, we
might, perhaps, retard and diminish, and in
the other hasten and increase it. But Northern
and foreign immigrants are not going to ask us
whether they shall come or not—neither are
planters, who wish to employ Chinese laborers,
going to consult the taste or feelings of the
community, whether they shall, or shall not,
embark in the enterprise. The movements of
all concerned will be governed by self-interest.
If the Mississippi Legislature and Arkansas
planters believe they can turn out the old ante
bellum cotton crops of those alluviums, by im
porting Chinese labor, they will do it if they
can, without one thought about reducing the
price of cotton by a consequent increase of pro
duct. Every planter aims to increase his own
cotton crop as much as he can, without refer
ence to the grand result, and the same rule will
govern planters in the Southwest in their efforts
to resuscitate cotton production in that quarter.
Wo hold, therefore, that homilies on the poli
tical, social and financial evils likely to result to
the aggregate cotton interest from immigration
will effect little or nothing. We must accept
events as they come and harmonize our interests
with them as best we may.
So far as this section of the South is concerned
we have little acticipation that Chinese labor
will effect an important lodgment for many
years. In the Northern tier of the Southern
States white immigration from the North will
rapidly crowd the blacks southward. This pro
cess has already began and will move with ever
increasing rapidity. So on the Mississippi and
other river bottoms of the Southwest, the small
amount of negro labor employed there will per
haps soon be displaced by the Asiatics, and the
negroes driven eastward for employment Un
der the operation of these two causes it is not
improbable that the bulk of the Southern negro
population may eventually concentrate upon
the uplands of Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi,
and work out their destiny here.
It is important to the interests of this section
that the white population should dominate. It
is important to the whole South that she should
grow in numbers, power and wealth. She has j
the territory—she has all the material elements
and appliances to regain her lost rank as the
leading section of the Union. Under the gov
ernment, as it stands, sectional weakness is a
great misfortune and calamity; and for the fu
ture of our descendants we are not disposed to
grieve over the prospect that, by and by, the
South may disclose an intellectual and material
grandeur of position far surpassiDg any which
she has hitherto attained.
Deep vs* Shallow Cnltnre.
Our editorial notice of Mr. Gustin’s acre and
his mode of culture has called forth numerous
inquiries by letter, which we prefer should be
answered by that gentleman himself. We have,
therefore, sent him the letters and are promised
a reply in a short time which we shall take great
pleasure in presenting to the reader.
There is certainly a question very important
to our planters and fanners involved—it is a
question between two radically diverse systems
of culture. - The one proposes, from and after
the time of seeding up to harvest, to stir mere
ly the surface of the soil—while the other insists
that the soil should still be mellowed to its full
depth. The former plan of culture, we are dis
posed to think, is practicable only in sandy and
porous soils which do not readily impact A clay
soil mellowed only by the original process of
breaking up in winter or early spring, would be
come, before the crops are matured, so hard
and solid as to be almost impervious to the rains
and to those important atmospheric influences
by whioh vegetation is mainly facilitated and
perfected.
Reason seems to tell us that, whether to ab
sorb moisture and fertility from the atmosphere,
which is charged with them just in proportion
as the warmth of the sun increases the amount
of evaporation—or whether to bring up a sup
ply of moisture from the subsoil by the princi
ple of capillary attraction—or whether "to give
the delicate radicles and spongioles of plants
every facility for penetrating the soil and ex
tracting food and moisture for the support of the
crop—for any and all of these purposes a main
condition must be that the soil should be kept
in a loose, soft and friable condition. And
we have never yet seen a soil that would do this
upon a single annual breaking up, however
thoroughly and deeply that may he done. In
deed, we have seen a single violent rain impact
earth so broken up to almost its original sol
idity, in less than a month after it had been
deeply ploughed.
We will not pretend to deny that good crops
have been and are made upon this system of
purely surface cultivation; but it seems to us
the fact must be due mainly to an unusual po
rosity of soil, which enables the crops to be
made notwithstanding the culture, rather than
as the natural result of it. The same plan pur
sued with a closer soil would be apt in most ca
ses to result unfavorably, particularly if the
ground during cropping season should be beaten
by such heavy rains as sometimes fall in Georgia.
A little experience tells every gardener that
if he will make fine vegetables he mast keep his
soil mellow. He may scratch the surface in
vain for fine beets, turnips, cabbages, and the
like. They cannot be produced by mere sur
face culture; but be must take the spade and
the trenching hoe and loosen the earth as deeply
as he can. This must be done with discretion,
of course, so as not to lacerate the roots of his
plants; but we presume no one wonld question
the absolute necessity of the work to the satis
factory development of bis garden.
We see no reason why a similar process is not
essential ,to the most perfect developement of
field crops, and we hope to present to-morrow
or next day a paper from Mr. Gustin on the ne
cessity for doing it, and the best method and
implements to accomplish the work.
Imperialism.
The Herald of Friday, a paper which rarely
displays sensitiveness on such a subject, says
the delegations to the President from the South
to learn his imperial will and pleasure in refer
ence to reconstructing their States, must be
mortifying to every American citizen, and prove
that the politcians no longer look to the will of
the people, but have transferred all their atten
tion to the government as the sole source of
power in the country. In other words, without
a coup d’etat we have imperialism.
The Herald had not then seen the press dis
patches of the 31st, in which CoL Moorman
was granted an audience in behalf of the Mis-
gisaippians. There His Imperial Majesty as
sured the Mississippiaiis that he should wait
and see what kind of a ticket they nominated—
and whether they would uphold the 15th
amendment—and if they would do right he
would be glad to have their support to his ad
ministration.
The Continental Idle Insurance Com
pany.
See card of this Company in to-day’s issue.—
It sets forth the plan of doing business and the
particular good features of the same. Though
but little over three years since it commenced
business the figures given show a great rapidity
of growth. Mr. J. R. Hoy, agent in this city,
has in the past two months succeeded in having
some of our leading business men to take poli*
cies in this Company upon considering its desir
ableness. We append an extract from a North
ern exchange, which will more fully give the
history of this young favorite:
An Unprecedented Success.—Foreigners have
been sorely puzzled by the failure of all prece
dents in American affairs; they cannot, from
their experience, theorize successfully as to our
future, politically or financially. Where the old
world keeps to the beaten paths of precedent,
Young America, rejoicing in its youth, strikes
boldly into the wilderness of the future, trusting
its own strength and tact, and too anxious for
progress to lose time looking back—our Ameri
can women will never be turned into salt, al
though anxious to be made pillars of State.—
Perhaps no better specimen of this Yankee
characteristic could be given than the growth of
some of its industrial and financial enterprises.
In the month of May, 1S66, The Continental
Life Insurance Company was started. Almost
from its inception it has maintained its position
with the largest. Like Minerva, it may be said
to have sprung into being full grown and
equipped. “Large bodies move slowly,” was
no motto with the founders of this enterprise;
indeed, so rapid was its progress it seemed al
most impossible that such a rank growth could
be healthy, and many were the predictions of
disaster and well-meant warnings from aston
ished fossils. To-day, the wisdom and prudence
of the management need no vindication; in the
face of its brilliant success, hostile criticism
and jealousy are disarmed, and its officers are
universally awarded the credit they so fairly de
serve. In these three first years of its existence
they have issued 15,000 policies, insuring $40,-
000,000; the amount received for annual pre
miums is now 03,500,000, and they have de
clared two dividends of forty per cent, to policy
holders.
Express Robbery in Georgia.
The Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel of Sun
day says:
There is in the employ of the Southern Ex
press Company a young gentleman, a resident
of this county, and of the best family, Mr. But
ler B. Mays, who had a situation as Messenger,
and ran in that capacity on the CentralRailroad,
between Savannah and Macon. A few nights
since he left the Company’s office in Savannah
to go to Macon, receipting for and taking on
board of his car with him a quantity of Express
freight, and one of the iron chests in which the
money forwarded by the Company is usually
transported. Entering his car with the money
all right the train left Savannah for Macon. On
the portion of the line between Savannah and
Millen, we understand that Mr. Mays went to
sleep, leaving his money and freight all right.
On arriving at Millen he awoke and found a
package containing four thousand nine hundred
dollars had been stolen from Ms possession
while he slumbered. Not knowing what else to
do the horrified Messenger immediately retnmed
to Savannah and reported the loss to Ms supe
rior officers. We are informed that Superinten
dent Dempsey and General Superintendent
O’Brien, were, fortunately, in Savannah at the
time and at once took the matter in hand and
endeavored to ferret out the robber or robbers.
Up to this time, however, their efforts in that
direction have been of no avail, and the affair
still remains enshrouded in mystety. Mr. Mays
came to this city a day or two since and was
closely examined by both the officers of the Ex
press Company and the CMef-of-Police, but was
unable to give any information by which a clue
to the guilty parties could be obtained; but we
are glad to hear that no criminality attaches it
self to Mr. Mays. Three men who were on the
train at the time, are suspected of being the
guilty parties, but sufficient proof has not yet
been collected to warrant their arrest. One of
these men is said to have come to Augusta and
the police here are on Ms track and are busy en
deavoring to get a clue by wMch he may be
nabbed. In Savannah the police are also busily
engaged in working up the case. The mo3t rea
sonable hypothesis seems to be that these men
followed Mr. Mays from Savannah, where they
had probably seen him and planned the robbery,
and had watched him on the train until he slept
and then bagged the booty.
The Sea Serpent. Again.
James Andrews, a Jerseyman and a fisher of
porgies and the like in Newark bay, a person of
sound sense, good steady habits, not at all given
to grog, and not possessed of an unusual share
of imagination, has just had the privilege of n
sight of the sea serpent. The following is Ms
story as told by the Newark, (N. J.) Courier:
Mr. Andrews states that on Sunday afternoon
last, he was returning from Elizabethport in his
boat, a small affair, capable of carrying only
fonr or five persons, and after he had passed
under the Central Railroad bridge, and rowed,
as he tMnks, about a mile up the bay, Ms at
tention became at first attracted by an unusual
commotion in the water about two hundred
yards in advance of the boat. Curious as to
tMs unusual agitation, he rested upon Ms oars
and watched for a few moments the spot, wMch
was strongly marked by the waves and foam,
when, to Ms great surprise and terror, the head
of a monster, as large as a flour barrel, and
having something of the appearance of a dog’s
head, appeared above the water. It stretched
away along the surface, and a black scaly back
lifted itself gradually from the water until it
appeared, according to Mr. Andrews, twice the
length of an ordinary schooner. It swam easily
and with but little motion, occasionally raising
its head three or four feet above the surface
with that pecnliarsinuosity common to the snake
tribe. Suddenly, with a tremendous splashing,
it disappeared from sight, leaving beMnd it a
large area of seething foam.
Mr. Andrews acknowledges Mmself to have
been “scared almost to death” at the sight, and
about came to the conclusion, so he says, that
he was to be eaten olive. Indeed, his presence
of mind so far forsook Mm that he dropped
both oars, and had some difficulty in recovering
them. Having secured them, however, by
means of a small paddle, which fortunately re
mained in the bottom of the boat, he undertook
to row across the bay, but he had proceeded
but a short distance when a terrible splashing
from behind caused him to turn around, and
there, as he solemnly asserts, within a dozen
yards of him, was the head of the monster,
high above the surface ; and, to add all the
more to his terror, it opened its hideous jaws,
and darted a forked tongue directly at Mm. To
employ the language need .by Andrews himself,
‘‘the next thing he knew; he didn’t know any
thing meaning thereby that his terror was so
great be apparently lost consciousness. That
was the last be saw of the sea serpent, (wMch
he most assuredly believes it to have been, and
which certainly tallies with the descriptions al
ready given,) and he informs us that immedi
ately thereafter he probably did some of the
“tallest” rowing that has ever been witnessed in
Newark Bay.
The Newnan “People's Defender" says the
oonnty jail was burned on the 27th. Fortunately
it was not occupied at the time.

Does Alcohol Afford Protection Against
‘Extremes in Cold and Heat 7 1
. * NUMBER 2.
Editori Tdegraph : It is contended that spir
ituous liquors are necessary to brace up the re
laxed fibre under the debilitating effects of pro
fuse perspiration, while the body is subject to
extreme heat The products of the waste of
the tissues do not pass out through the sensi
ble, but the insensible perspiration. The sweat-
secreting glands are never-ceasingly at work in
the function of excretion. The entire amount of
fluid whioh is “insensibly” lost from the skin
and lungs is estimated at eighteen grains per
minnte; of wMoh eleven grains pass off by the
former, and seven by the latter. The maximnm
loss by exhalation, cutaneous and pulmonary,
during twenty-four hours (exoept under very
peculiar circumstances) is five pounds; the min
imum one and two thirds. (Carperter’s Physi
ology). The insensible perspiration is favored
by a dry atmosphere, and its constant vaporiza
tion. Every one is aware of the depressing ef
fects of a damp, heavy atmosphere at a Mgh
temperature, and the feeling almost of suffoca
tion, at such times, by wearing water-proof gar
ments. Everycoacbmanhasobservedthestream-
ing perspiration and comparatively sluggish gait
of Ms team on a warm, cloudy day when the
atmosphere is loaded with moisture. When,
therefore, a sensation of fatigue is experienced
after copious perspiration, it may be fairly at
tributable, in a good degree,-.to the sensible per
spiration diffused over the sweat-glands, or of
garments saturated with moisture, thus checking
the vaporization of the insensible perspiration.
"When there is any special determination of
blood to the skin by internal or external heat in
ducing free sensible perspiration, the fluid is
passed through the pores by a process of trans-
secretion. The presence of a con
siderable quantity of alcohol in the blood, at
such times, has the tendency to induce debility
rather than tonicity; because an extra amount
of labor is imposed upon the excretory organs,
and disqualifies them for efficiently discharging
their duties, on account of the degree of irrita
tion induced by over taxing their powers. The
necessary consequence, is a retention of waste
matter in the system wMch should have been
eliminated, and more or less functional derange
ment and exhaustion.
Now let ns see how far experience substanti
ates the validity of the foregoing course of reas
oning. During the march of an English regi
ment in India, we have the following facts,
stated by an officer of the regiment: “In the
early part of the year 1847 the 84th Regiment'
marched by wings from Madras to Secun
derabad, a distance of between four hundred
and five hundred miles. They were forty-seven
days on the road, and, practically speaking,
the men were teetotalers. Previously to leav
ing Madras, subscriptions were made among
the men, and a coffee establishment was organ
ized. Every morning, when the tents were
struck, a pint of coffee and a biscuit were ready
for each man, instead of the daily morning dram
which soldiers on the march in India almost in
variably take. Half-way on the day’s march
the regiment halted, and another pint of coffee
was ready for every man who wished it. The
regimental canteen was opened only at ten and
twelve o’clock, for a short time, but the men
did not frequent it, and the daily consumption
of arrack for our wing was only two gallons and
a few drams per diem—instead of twenty-seven
gallons, wMch was the government allowance.
* * * The results of tMs water system
were shortly these: Although the road is pro
verbial for cholera and dysentery, and passes
through several unhealthy and marshy districts,
the men were free from sickness to an extent
absolutely unprecedented in our marches in In
dia. They had no cholera, and no fever, and only
two men were lost by dysentery—both of whom
were old chronic cases, taken out of the hospi
tal at Madras. With these exceptions, there
was scarcely a serious case of sickness during
the whole march. The officers were surprised
that the men marched infinitelybetter, with less
fatigue, and with fewer stragglers, than they
had ever known before—and it was noticed by
every one that the men were unusually cheer
ful, and contented. During the” whole march
the regiment had not a single prisoner for
drunkenness. * * * That this remark
able result was not due to any peculiar health-
fulness of the season, or other modifying cir
cumstance, is shown by the fact that the 63d
Regiment, wMch performed the same march,
at the very same time, though in the opposite
direction, lost several men ont of a strength of
four hundred; and that it had so many sick
that, when it met the 84th on its march, it was
obliged to borrow the spare “dhoolies” (or pal
anquins for the sick) belonging to the latter.”
Sir Charles Napier, in Ms brisk, off hand
style, thus addressed the ninety sixth regiment
when he reviewed it at Calcutta on the 11th of
May, 1849. “Let me give all you young men
a bit of advice—that is, don’t drink. I know
young men do not think much about advice from
old men. They put their tongue in their cheek
and think they know a good deal better than the
old cove that is giving them advice. But let me
tell you that yon have come to a country where
if you drink you are dead men. If you are
sober and steady you will get on well; but if
you drink you’re done for—-you will be either
invalided or die. I knew two regiments in this
country, one drank and the other did’nt drink.
The one that didn’t drink is one of the finest
regiments and has got on as well as any regi
ment in existence. The one that did drink has
been almost destroyed. For any regiment that
I have a respect for (and there is not one of the
British regiments that I don’t respect) I should
always try and persuade them to keep from
drinking. I know there are some men who will
drink in spite of the devil and their officers;
but such men will soon be in the hospital, and
very few that go in, in this country, ever come
out again.”
That alcohol is a heat-producing agent, and
powerfully efficacious in counteracting, for the
time, the depressing effect of extreme cold, has
already been admitted; but whether under pro
longed exposure to a low temperature it is pref
erable to many articles of diet, is at least doubt-
fuL The large proportion of hydrogen in its
composition indicates its Mghly eombustive
properties. The heat generated by a spirit
lamp is much more intense than that produced
by an oil lamp. The almost electrical influence
imparted to the body by a hot alcoholic drink
when suffering from an intense cold, cannot be
denied; but the indigestible quality of alcohol
limitaits heat-sustaining power to the time wMch
is occupied in the process of its combustion. It
is not capable of a slow process of assimilation
to the different tissues whereby its heat-pro-
ducing properties are gradually imparted to the
system, but it is rapidly drunk up by the gastric
veins, and quickly diffused throughout the body.
Its excessive and continued use tends to passive
congestion of the capillary vessels of the sur
face, and debility rather than elasticity of their
walls. Hence the characteristic “bottle nose”
and coldness of the extremities wMch afflict the
tippler. It has been already shown how alcohol
loads the blood with an excess of carbon, and
deteriorates its quality, necessitating an undue
consumption of oxygen for the conversion of its
carbon into carbonic acid and its hydrogen into
water. The organs of excretion, therefore,
must have imposed upon them a larger amount
of labor .than they can sustain without tempora
ry impairment of their functional powers;
hence, the sensation of cold experienced after
the effects of alcohol have passed off is greater
than that wMch previously existed. The diges
tion of fat meats, tea and coffee iB much more
prolonged in its effects than that of alcoholic
drinks, and possessing, as do the former, to a
much greater degree, the elements of nutrition
to the nervous and fatty tissues, their calorific
properties are gradually and steadily imparted.
Every one hns experienced the exceeding sensi
tiveness of the body to cold while the stomach is
empty. A hot meal of course increases the
warming properties of food, but oils and fat
more especially, when consumed even wMle
cold, not only invite an increased determination
of blood to the digestive organB, but they direct
ly impart warmth to too body by the chemical
action of the oxygen of the blood upon their

A liberal supply of walrus’ blubber, and the
fat of seals, will enable the Greenlander to en
dure without suffering a degree of cold as low
as 70 or 80 degrees below the freezing point.
“Copt. Parry mentions with surprise that he
saw an Esquimaux Indian female uncover'her
bosom and give her child suck in the open air,
when its temperature was forty degrees below
Zeroand Sir J. Richardson states that plenty
of food and good digestion are the best sources
of heat, and that “a Canadian with seven or
eight pounds of good beef or venison in Ms
stomach will resist the greatest degree of natu
ral cold in the open air and tMnly dad.if there
be not a Btrong wind.”
Without adducing any farther testimony we
will venture upon the following conclusions :
That the use of alcoholic liquors, in a healthy
condition of the body is inadequate to afford
material assistance in counteracting the overra
ting influence of extreme heat ; -but in its ac
tion upon the vital organs is deddedly relaxing
in its ultimate effects, by impoverishing the
blood, checking the elimination of waste mat
ters or retaining them in the system, thereby
retarding the healthful functional aotivity of the
excretory organs. '
Thatalcohol is actively heat producing,but that
it is unreliable as a protective against extreme
ooid, because after the subsidence of its imme
diate effects it makes the system more suscepti
ble to cold, by leaving it depressed to a degree
in proportion to its previous state of inordinate
excitement.
That tea, coffee many articles of diet are
muoh more reliable as heat producing agents,
by inducing an agreeable and persistent degree
of warmth, its miration being commensurate
with the period of their disgestion and assimil
ation to toe vital organs. J. P. S.

Letter from Warn Springs,
"Warm: Spings, Mebiwether Oountx, Ga. >
July 29, 1869.)
Editors Telegraph : Ye swelterers in Macon,
imagine yourselves on a Mgh dry ridge nineteen
hundred feet above the level of the sea, toe lo
cation overlooked by mountains a little removed,
with a pore atmosphere that allows not the mer
cury to rise above 85 degrees—the coolest of
of water, toe most delicious baths, and you will
have an idea of the Warm Springs in Meriweth
er county. The accommodations ore ample for
five hundred visitors. One season before the
war that many guests were here. More atten
tive servants or a choicer appointed table and
better cooking cannot be found in toe State.—
The Springs are owned by CoL John L. Mustian,
formerly President of the Muscogee Railroad.
His superintendent, Mr. Tidmarsh, is excelsior,
both as a gentleman and in Ms department.—
The principle adopted here is that if guests be
well fed, bedded and bathed they will be free
from sickness. The theory has been proved
correct by practice.
The cMef attraction of tMs place, for invalids
or pleasure seekers, is the bathing department.
The baths, each 12X14 feet, luxuriously fitted
up, are supplied by a spring wMch discharges
1400 gallons per minute. The temperature of
toe water is 90 degrees. The principal ingre
dients are lime, magnesia and sulphuric acid
gas. The liquid is termed, chemically, carbo-
chalybeate water. By means of gates toe baths
may be regulated from a depth of a few inches
to six feet. Many ladies have learned to swim.
In toe houses are furnished in abundance every
appliance for bathing. The luxury of a plunge
must be experienced to enjoy its thrilling deli
ciousness. The water does not feel warm—the
chill is just removed from it. There’s so shiv
ering—no quaking—no dread. The water is
light and buoyant, and as one flounders amid
the waves, he feels the most thrilling delight;
toe acme of Mghest deliciousness. Gen. Toombs
pronounced these baths toe finest in the world.
Why should Southerners patronize Northern es
tablishments when we have such delightful ones
in Georgia ? These baths are not merely pleas
ant, but are the best physicians in toe Union. All
rheumatic affections are quickly cured here.
CMlls and fever are banished as quickly, and oth
er diseases rapidly removed. The Mghest benefit
is experienced by those who drink as well as
bathe. The water is warm, not by mechanism,
but nature’s mixing; it is not nauseating,it hard
ly tastes warm. It is so light you can imbibe any
quantity. You quickly learn to love it, and its
effects are exMlarating. Those who prefer not
taking toe water from toe spout, have it bottled
at night; next morning it is cold as well water
and has preserved all its chemical properties.
Others place the bottles in ice.
TMs is a curious place for waters. The Warm
Springs wMch we have been describing, flow
from the base of a ridge on top of wMch toe
cottages (wMch by toe way are all framed struc
tures) are erected. Near the hotel is a well of
water as cold and almost as pure as ice. Near
the baths is a small spring of very strong cha
lybeate water, and not far off passable sulpher
water. A short distance (about a mile) is what
is termed the “Cold Spring” which discharges
four thousand gallons of ice-cold carbo-chalybe-
ate water per minute. The water for cooking
and washing purposes is thrown upon hill by
means of a hydraulic ram. Nature seems to
have lavished the boons of health upon this
spot, wMch is most MgMy adapted to pleasure
and health.
There are now about one hundred guests
gathered, chiefly from Savannah, Macon, Col
umbus, Alabama and New Orleans. In point
of looks the ladies will compare favorably with
those of any section, and in attractiveness can
not be excelled. Enough young people are col
lected to form nightly six setts in the bait room,
wMch is one of toe handsomest apartments in
toe State. To toe inspiring music of an excel
lent band toe “light fantastic” is merrily tripped.
Croquet, a shooting gallery, parlor “keno,”
cards, ten pins and other amusements serve to
banish care and render life for the nonce a hap
py holiday. Lover’s retreats and charming
walks make glad toe hearts that desire to have
but a single thought and beat as one. A mile
away is a Mgh mountain called “The View.”
From its summit Central Georgia is seen mapped
before toe enraptured gaze. To the right looms
up Stone Mountain, and to the left, visible with
good glance, hoary “Lookout” reveals the north
ern border, while before you sleeps succession
of hills and dales, forests and waving meadows
stretching far away to toe “heaven kissed hills"
that bound the distant horizon. Upon this
mountain is a beautiful drive three miles in
length, equal to a shell road, and as you glide
along behind a fast team that scorns slow mo
tions, with a radiant companion beside you, you
feel a bounding elasticity, an invigoration of
body and mind that makes its recollection a joy
forever. To those who desire creature com
forts—in toe men of course—it may be whis
pered that here is one of toe finest bar and bil
liard saloons in toe State, presided over by one
of toe most happily tasteful of “mixers.” Oh,
it is a glorious place for fun, frolic, exquisite
enjoyment, or if the fastidious prefer—fasMon-
able, dignified laziness and good-for-nothing-
ness!
The hottest day yet the mercury has not been
higher than eighty-two degrees. At night
blankets are required. Mosquitoes are but
memories of cities.
Large crowds are expected here in a few days
—among them toe most beautiful maidens in
this, and other States. Of course in their train
will follow handsome gentlemen. In toe ante
helium days this was known ns one of toe most
fasMonable resorts in Georgia, and it is again
resuming its former character. No one need be
sick, or weak, or despondent, in these “dig-
gins," for every toing abounds to furnish health,
strength and pleasure. Over two hundred
guests will be here by next week.
Exquisites abound everywhere. We are not
devoid of them. One, now vanished, who parts
his hair in the middle, and wore excruciating
boots, was asked toe other night to dance the
Lancers. His reply was, after striking an atti
tude, “I daunt datwee toe blarsted Launcers;’’
and he didn’t. He came prepared for a conver
sational, not a dancing party, and the above quo
tation was a specimen. ■ X :
The most approved style now of addressing a
lady—especially for youthful bashfulne68—is to
commence with peaches and then praise a sis
ter. Passing through the rooms toe other night,
we heard a ‘Modest, loving, youthful pair,” toe
lady loving, toe gentleman basMul, at toe task.
He offered his peach and added, “Miss , I
do admire your sister so much.” Her reply we
did not catch, but a man came out in a little
while looking very miserable, and admiration
was lost to a sister. “Keep on the sweet talk,”
is toe order among the loving. We ask xeaders
for information—if a lady with a sweet bloom
upon her cheek, holds by its Bide a peach, with
rarest coloring, nature’s choicest work, and asks
you, “is it not lovely?” wMch would you think
she meant to ask was lovely—the peach or
cheek ? Young men and fledgelings only need
answer.
Plenty of rain in this section. Com is made.
A good deal of it raised, but not enough to sup
ply the demand. Cotton all right and fruiting
finely. Judging by toe orchards at the Springs,
peaches and watermelons abound.
Don’t you remember toe well-told tale during
the war, wMch runs tonsly: A cavalry compa
ny marching through a lane, was ordered by the
Captain to “close up.” A little barefooted girl
by toe roadside, lifting her dress pretty loftily,
called out innocently, “Is this high enough,
Captain?” I’ll “close up," Messrs Editors.

From Washington*
Washington, August 2.—The public debt shows
a coin balance of sixty-six millions—coin certificates
thirty-eix and a half millions—currency balance
twenty-three millions—sinking fund twelve millions
and other bonds purchased fifteen millions.
Mississippi—the editors of the Canton Mail, Ya»
zoo Banner, Winona Democrat, and Grenada Sen
tinel, visited Gen. Dent with assurances of their
support.
A delgation from Norfolk, Va., headed by the
member of Congress from that District is at the
Navy Department, urging toe removal of the Con
servatives from the navy yard.
There will be no regular Cabinet meeting until
September, unless emergency requires it.
Boutwell will be absent three weeks.
The Commissioner of Agriculture has received
advices of toe appearance of toe caterpillar in sea
island cotton.
Among Superintendent Clapp’s apprentices are
two colored.
Three spurious legal tender tens were taken at
the Treasury to day.
New plates for legal tenders, from one dollar to
a thousand, are in course of preparation. There is
no safety in receiving greenback tens. This remark
does not apply to national bank tens.
Washington, August' 1.—The Secretary of toe
Treasury orders the Treasurer of New York to pur
chase two millions of bonds weekly during August,
in addition to one million every two weeks for sink
ing fund.
Boutwell leaves here to-night, to be absent two
weeks.
The debt statement shows* rednetion of seven

Yellow Fever at Key West.
Our latest advices from Key West reported
toe fever as still raging, and very fatal in its
results.
The Key West Dispatch of toe 17th ultimo
says: .•
Telegrams and letters have reached this place
from some of our former residents, now absent,
inquiring if we “have fever.” We answer you,
and add thatrwe now have sufficient material
for it to work upon. Unless your business is of
such character as to warrant toe hazard of life
in its prosecution, we advise all of you to stay
away.
In another article the Dispatch says:
We neither see how public or private good is
to be obtained by an attempt to conceal toe
fact that we are at present as a town afflicted
with fever of a dangerens character. Some of
our physicians maintain that it is not yellow fe
ver—very well! we agree that you shall name
it blue, black, green, wMte typhoid; or any oth
er fever. The result is death in six cases out
of ten. We shall not quarrel about the name,
but is it generous, is it just, is it honest, that
we should attempt to conceal the fact, and tons
induce persons to come among us at the hazard
of life, merely because it may prevent ns from
making a few hundred or a few thousand dol
lars ? Human life is too precious for that
The mortality among toe troops in garrison
is great. The Dispatch says :
New mounds have risen within the past two
weeks. Six coffins per day, as we are informed,
form part of the rations ordered and issued for
the troops now here in garrison.
The sharp three volleys each morning an-
r ounce the sad fate of one or more of these de
voted Unionists.
The Southwest Looking Up.
The New York Journal of Commerce has ad
vices from the cotton region of the southwest
which report toe bottom lands improving in
E rice, in expectation of the arrival of Chinese
ibor. A real estate agent i&Mississippi writes
that toe price of plantations along toe river has
advanced from twenty-five to fifty per cent,
within the past few months. Similar informa
tion comes from several points in Louisiana.
The cotton crop in these two States promises
very weU, and the planters are intending to in
vest their surplus in toe purchase of more allu
vial lands, to be ready for the. Chinese immigra
tion wMch, it is thought, will be under fair
headway by toe next season. In Louisiana it is
proposed to set a large foroe of Chinese at work,
as soon as they can be obtained, upon toe re
building of the levees—wMch are now in a sad
ly dilapidated oondition. The levees of Missis
sippi are fortunately in a much better state:
They have been finished to the extent of two
hundred and fifteen miles, and but ten more
await completion. To do the remaining work
it is proposed to raiHe $300,000 by a tax of one
cent per pound on the new cotton crop, and also
by a small land tax. We are happy to reoord these
evidences of enterprise and renewed hope in
the southwest.—Charleston Neva.
