THE TELEGRAPH.
MACON FRIDAY, AUGUST 27, 1869.
Stonthfrn Politics,
We are interested in the able disquisitions of
the Savannah Republican npon “the philosophy
of Southern politics,” but at the same time a lit
tle mystified. For illustration, he says in his
paper of Wednesday:
The Democratic party have struggled against
ft [the radical proscriptive and unconstitu
tional policy towards the South] in vain, com
ing out discomfited from every battle. It is a
great evil and a wrong—we know and feel it to
be so—but it is evident that it is not to be end
ed by party warfare. The party that put it
there has the power, and you cannot remove it
by fighting that party, especially under the pe
culiar circumstances of the case. The North
will sustain their own work. They consider the
present status as a great moral victory. They
regard it as the “legitimate fruit,"’ of a long and
terrible war that cost them billions of treasure
and a half million of lives, and therefore they
will not give it up, or even reason coolly and
sensibly about it, in the present humor of the
public mind. As long as you will fight it with
party, its existence will be perpetuated. Be
ing opposed to reason and right and sound po
licy, it must eventually come to naught; but it
is one of those evils that is to be cured not by
party, but by the country—the second, sober
thought of good men of all parties must do the
work. As God liveth, the truth will finally pre
vail, and in this case the end is to be readied
on the principle announced by General Grant
in his inaugural address, the surest way to get
rid of a bad law is to enforce it strictly. Great
evils have a curative power within themselves.
Now we can comprehend these suggestions in
their practical application to the fatuity of making
issues in Georgia or other Southern States with
the Radical majority in Congress on the practi
cal application of the Reconstruction Acts; for
every man of sense can see, if he will, that they
are all bound to end like the fight of the bull
with the locomotive. Common sense, therefore,
tells us to stand aside and let the thing have its
course, and wait for better days and better
measures.
But when it comes to making up a national
verdict upon the constitutionality and policy and
Utility of these atrocious usurpations, are we
not, as part of the jury of American freemen
(so called) to put in our verdict of condemnation
against them on every occasion ? Are we not
to fight this party every time and all the time
and resort to the principle of combination to
put it down and destroy its power for oppression
and mischief? And how is “the country/' to do
this work except by all those means and appli
ances by which public opinion is concentrated
and directed to the accomplishment of specifio
ends?. All the “sober second thought of man
kind'’ cannot help matters unless it can be in
duced to vote and act unitedly—and this must
be done by conventions, nominations, parties,
platforms, speeches and electioneering gener
ally. To fight the Radicals without a firmly
organized party in opposition would result worse
than a conflict between drilled soldiers and a
disorderly mob.
Thus we fail to see how our friend of the Re
publican will bring his new party scheme into
practical and beneficent operation for the ends
designed. But we have no elections in Georgia
this year; and, after all, when the time of gen
eral elections rolls round, Georgia will be com
pelled to accept things pretty much as she finds
them. To our mind it is quite doubtful whether
she will be able to discover a better or more
promising channel of opposition to radicalism
than the old Democratic party.
Grand Pie-Ntc at Newnan Springs.
We acknowledge a special invitation from
Mayor Brewster, of Newnan, to join the people
of that beautiful city in a grand pic-nic on Mon
day night, the 23d instant. Other engagements
will deprive us of the pleasure of seeing New
nan—her people and her spring on that interest
ing occasion; but we hope to do it before long.
In a few months Macon and Newnan will be
connected by a very direct and short line of
railway, and will then interchange a lively trade
and much agreeable companionship and associa
tion. Newnan and her springs on the one hand,
for a healthful up country resort, and Bruns-
wide and her salt water and ocean breezes for a
sea-side watering place, will equip us so
completely that nothing more need be desired,
and. open to Newnan, as well as to ourselves,
abundant resources to wile away the summer
heat and dulness. We wish our Newnan friends
a merry time next Monday evening.
From Upper Georgia.
A friend who has just returned from a trip on
the Memphis and Charleston road West of Chat
tanooga is eloquent on dry times. B[e says he
saw nothing worthy the name of crops on the
lines of railroad from Marietta to Tnscnmbia.—
Every thing looked burnt up. The Tennessee
river was very low—at the shallowest parts with
only eight inches of water. Navigation was stop
ped much to the hindrance of parties who were
waiting supplies of iron and merchandise.
The Chinamen ik Peru.—The Chinamen in
Peru, said to number abont thirty thousand,
have forwarded a memorial, representing their
grievances, to the Celestial government. They
say their contracts are as waste paper, and that
hunger, cold, blows, vituperation and bad food
are driving them to self-destruction-; and though
< there are a few kind masters, yet they are as
one or two in ten. Wherefore they pray the pow
erful protection of the home government, that it
may be to them like the dewy showers on dying
plants. ■
Spiteful Sunshine.—The sun in August
seems spiteful—vindictive—venomous—bent on
doing you an injury. Let it touch so much as
the toe of your boot, and you are glad to find a
shady place for your foot A man can stand it
who has worked in the open air from early
spring, but bring out your shade plants, and
they wilt directly. Very hot wdB the sun yes
terday.
Chops in Bartow.—The Cartersvilie Express
says: The drought has been very severe in por
tions of this county. The com crop in those
very dry belts is well nigh cut off; in other por
tions of the county there has been slight, but
occasional showers of rain—the crops are much
better, but in some parts they have not suffered
scarcely a day for rain, and better crops were
never known.
Cotton in the seed Bought.—The Eagle and
Phenix Factory of Columbus advertise that they
will buy cotton in the seed, or gin the cotton for
toll and buy the lint at market value. To farm
ers having no gins this will be a great conven
ience. And we do not see why most of the
Southern Factories will not find their account
in following suit.
Rain in Atlantj—WVseo that Atlanta had a
rain on Tuesday, as well as Macon.
Hon. B. H. Hill was well enough to leave
Atlanta for Athens on Tuesday last.
The Weather, Chops, etc.—For the last week
the weather has been oppressive; the thermom
eter ranging from 90 to 95 in the shade—more dr
less rain has fallen every day. The prospect of
the cotton crop is not as promising as it was a
week ago. The caterpillar has appeared in i.
number of fields—they appear to be in greater
Tbe Cotton Supply Question and
IVlint Will Come of it.
The'reader will find some where in this edition
of the Telegraph one of the most condensed
and interesting articles npon the question of
the cotton supply which we have ever seen. It
discloses a grand cotton deficit of a million
bales, in the face of demands for an increasing
consumption, and a succinct statement of. the
product and capacity of other cotton producing
regions, which carries conviction that the for
eign supplies must diminish rather than in
crease.
The cotton supply question is now, in fact,
the grand theme of tire industrial and business
world. There never was, at any time within
onr recollection, a degree of attention directed
to the Sonthem States nearly approaching that
which now exists. The interest in the cotton
situation was intense last year, bnt the increas
ing deficiency has so greatly sharpened "it that
there is no comparison.
Every year’s experience settles conviction that
the Southern Cotton Belt alone, of all the earth’s
surface, unites the physical conditions necessary
to prodace tho best varieties of cotton; and, as
the growing wealth of the world and its increas
ing diffusion among the masses is very rapidly
developing an increased demand for clothing,

PREPARED FOR THE GEORGIA TELEGRAPH.
Great Britain.—The English Parliament dis
cussed only questions of national interest during
the past week. In reply to an interpellation of
Mr. Palmer, the Home Secretary told the Com
mons that for the moment the pressure of pub
lic business prevented the introduction of a
uniform marriage law for the whole Kingdom;
the question, however, would be considered on
the basis of liberal and non-confessional princi
ples at the earliest opportunity.
Mr. Moore, member of Parliament for Tip
perary, inquired after the conduct of the gov
ernment toward the Fenian prisoners. Mr.
Bruce, the Home Secretary, replied that O'Don
ovan and Rossa had to suffer the punishment
required by the severe discipline and their
bad behavior, meanwhile assuring the honora
ble member that their treatment was not severer
than necessary. Maguire, representative for
Cork, exhorted the government to deal leniently
with the Fenians.- Finally, Parliament was pro
rogued by a Royal Commissioner on the 11th of
August.
The prospectus of the "West Indian and Pa
nama Telegraph Company, proposing to con
nect Sonth America with Europe and the United
States, by a cable from Cuba to Central Amer
ica, has just been published.
The tariff for telegrams through the Atlantic
Cable has been considerably reduced. Thirty
shillings sterling or seven dollars and a half in
gold are charged for ten words, and three shil
lings or seventy-five cents in gold for each ad
ditional word. Telegrams for tho press cost
only half these rates. These arrangements

their minds to endure what they may apprehend
as its evils.
As there is really no limit to the prospective
demand for cotton, so there is no limit to the
prospective value of good cotton lauds, which
would now be considered within the bounds of
reason. When one begins to speculate tbe most
reasonably on existing data, bis vaticinations
become to most people tbe more wild and vi
sionary.
If you take the bases which govern the value
of agricultural lands in the North or West and
argue upon them, what ought to be a correspond
ing valuation of Southern lands, yon will only
be derided; and yet it is certain similar rules
must eventually prevail; and we approximate
that result with a rapidity proportioned to the
profits of cotton culture. It is folly to suppose
that a greedy world is going to look on idly and
see insufficient cotton crop3 produced and sold
at thirty cents a pound when the area for pro
duction is ample and all the circumstances invite
them to hike a share in the business.
Hence, we repeat, let ns look for immigration
—let us anticipate increased demand for land
and labor and let ns reconcile our views and in
terests to a largely increased product—for it
must come. The necessities of the world de
mand it^and we shall have increased consump
tion to counterbalance increased production, till
perhaps in ten years from this time the Cotton
crop of the Sonth will far surpass its old volume,
and be the grandest annual trophy of agricul
ture that the human mind ever conceived.
In fnlfilling this magnificent destiny we "have,
for ourselves, not the slightest apprehension
that the Southern States will fail to make cor
responding advances in every other department.
We torment onrselves with no phantoms of ac
cumulating ignorance, depravity, vice, irreli-
gion and lawlessness.
On the contrary, as our wealth will accu
mulate in the most natural, scriptural and
healthy manner, it will be tbe most healthful in
its effect npon the character of the people and
the condition of society, and it will be employed
in tho most rational way. It will be used in de
veloping every substantial interest of tbe coun
try ; and as we shall probably hold the most
valuable soil in America, so we think it will
contain the most valuable people—enterpris
ing, hardy, intelligent, refined, moral and relig-
ms.
The prospects we forecast are altogether of a
pleasing character^ and the young of this gener
ation will, we hope, by the mercy of God, live to
see the cotton belt of the Sonth “ a goodly land
and pleasant to dwell in” — tho abode of a
wealthy and virtuous and numerous people—
surrounded by all the achievements, arts and
appliances of the most advanced civilization.
So mote it be. _
General Lee.
Nothing can be more admirable than the
bearing of this majestic man since the capitu
lation at Appomatox. The sedulous care with
which he has maintained the position of a pri
vate citizen, and the success with which he has
avoided every demonstration of his unrivaled
popularity with the Southern people, and every
entanglement with politics, evince alike his
wisdom and his patriotism. Two or three in
stances have occurred in which he has drawn
upon himself, however undeservedly, the male
dictions of the Radicals. One of these was the
conference at the Virginia Springs last sum
mer, and another the popular outburst which
attended his visit to Baltimore as delegate from
a Virginia Railway Company. These only
show how easy it would havo been for General
Lee to have injured himself and the Sonth by
any other course than one of the most cautions
and sagacious reticence and retirement.
In the matter indicated by the telegrams to
day, we observe the same extreme caution. He
does not visit tho battle field of Gettysburg at
thp request of the officers representing the Fede
ral forces engaged in that battle, without first
stating the reasons which have induced him to
comply with the invitation and showing that it
is dictated by the same motives which have
characterized his action since the war.
From Crawford County.
Knoxville, August 17, 18G9.
Editors Telegraph: Onr prospects have
dimmed very much within a short time, and
from the top of the mountain wo have descend
ed very rapidly into the Slough of Despond.-
Drought and rust—drought and rust are all the
cry. Up to the 21st or 22d of July, we had
timely seasons and all was well. But since that
time a long season of rainless weather has dis
tressed all crops—cutting off the com—precipi
tating the opening of the cotton and preventing
the growth and development of new bolls. Cot
ton looks sicks and so do we. With this drought
comes the rust to complete oar misery, so that
yon may set it down as a fact that the people of
Crawford have been reducing their income es
timates next year very rapidly, and we are now
making fifty cents stand for a dollar. Well it is
the fate of mankind. Disappointment is the lot
of all mortals and no doubt it is good for ns, al
though we don’t see it. “God’s will be done,”
and JS'il desperandum must be out mottoes. If
you Lave got anything good for us, to cheer us
up, let us have iti [Yes ! offset rust by rise in

Saratoga on Politic3. ; —A gossipping Sarato
ga correspondent of the Charleston Conner
says:
- - , - —° — There is very little said here about politics:
^ plantations, some the feeiing seems to have died out since hit
of which will be almost stripped in the course of summer . No one cai
ten days.
The rust has also made its appearance on some
few places, doing quite as much damage as the
caterpillar. We are in hopes that the crops are
so far adv&noed that no serious damage can be
donethem.
t The gqi tnPi UMi greater portiap of which is
cares to talk abont them. I
rather think that the North is about as sick and
tired of politics and politicians as we are. Grant
is looked npon as a failure, not having by any
means come up to the Yankee standard of ex
cellence. People talk of him as the great horse
man, and think it very strange that he did not
the Saratoga races. He is spoken
,. he may safely oonnt on twano
dents of Haggerty, would recognize the justice
of tins refusal. Mr. Motley, the American Am
bassador, has therefore appointed Mr. Eastman,
of Queenstown, os interimistic American Con
sul in Glasgow.
Mr. Gladstone is again unwell; his stato
causes uneasiness to his friends.
The Chamber of Commerce of Liverpool will
shortly address a circular to tho Chambers of
Commerce in the United States, pointing out
tbe ill usage of employing a great deal of un
necessary bagging and iron for packing tho cot
ton bales, and proposing to adopt for the Amer
ican ports the same system of tare as in the
English seaports.
France.—The political excitement has abated.
Marshal Niel, Minister of War and an earnest
believer in the doctrine that tbe whole left
bank of the Rhine by divine right belongs to
France, is dead, after having suffered for some
time from an incurable disease. Having made
tbe true saying, “Divide et impera,” a part of
bis political programme, he has ever been hos
tile to the growing consolidation of Germany,
which loses a bitter enemy by his death. An
Imperial decree daring the illness of tho Mar
shal had alread appointed Admiral Rigault de
Genonilly as Minister of War.
Germany.—The prospects for the new grain
crop are favorable.
King William, whom so many sensational cor
respondents delight in representing as at the
end of his earthly career, is sojourning at the
watering place of Ems, where his health is fast
improving.
Austria.—Count Von Benst, who probably
wishes to immortalize his name by the exploits
of his pen, seizes every opportunity of assuring
tho world that Austria entertains tho most cor
dial relations with France, while Prussia does
not respond to her spiritof reconciliation. Bis
marck knows well how to take the peaceful pro
testations of the donble-faced statesmen, who,
by intrigues and machinations is plotting against
German unity. However intolerable the enor
mous standing army in North Germany may be,
there is no possibility of any adequate reduction
as long as Austria will still flatter herself with
chimerical hopes of regaining her lost position
in Germany, and while the ruler on the Seine
by sudden events maybe compelled to assemble
his faithful myrmidons around him. LetFrance
beware of Austrian gratitude!
■ The public press is still filled with indignant
protestations in regard to the nnn Barbara
Ubryk, who, after twenty-one years’ imprison
ment, was liberated in consequence of a* anony
mous letter addressed to a court of justice in
Cracow. The most vigorous investigations have
been instituted. The unhappy being, is a com
plete state of nudity, was confined in a narrow
cell with a double door, and a window nearly
built np. The whole furniture consisted of a
little putrid straw. The victim of eccleiiastical
jurisdiction alleges her having broken tho vow
of chastity as the cause of her imprisqnment.
The people vented their rage in breaking the
window panes of the convent, which eoild only
be saved from utter destruction by the arrival
of a military force.
Italy.—It is rumored that the Cabinet Mena-
brea will soon give room to a Ministry more
liberal in every respect.
The Italian Government is discussing the
question of prohibiting all bishops of the King,
dom of Italy from taking any part in the Oecu
menical Council.
The Conte Gabriel Mastai-Ferretti, a brother
of Fio Nono, died at the advanced age of 90
years. j .
The preparations for the Council continue. A
great many prelates are arriving from the New
World.
The Papal army is suffering from desertions.
No soldier, the Zouaves, the troops d’elite not
excepted, are any more allowed to walk beyond
the gateB of the Eternal City.
Spain.—It is hardly possible to gather any
satisfactory information from the chaos of con
flicting news coming from Spain, It seems as
if the Carlist movement has lost its terror,
though single Guerilla bands are still infesting
the country. The Government, which was in
stituted by the national will, develops a laudable
energy in making preparations for any emer
gency. Many arrests were made in Madrid.
Balanzetegua, a Carlist chief, was captured and
shot. Several Carlist bands led by priests were
defeated and dispersed.
The Cortes will reassemble in October to pro
ceed to the election of a King. Admiral Topete
is said to favor the Duke of Montpensier, who,
amongst all candidates, is certainly the most ac
ceptable. It is hardly worth while to mention
the idlo newspaper rumor, that Prince Napoleon,
supported by the influence of Prim is spoken of
as another candidate for the Spanish crown.
Spain will never descend so low as to be a
mere dependency of France, and history teaches
ns, that even Napoleon I, who had seated his
brother Joseph on the Spanish throne, could not
succeed in retaining his sway over the Iberian
Peninsula.
It is positively denied that Spain wishes to
sell Cuba, at least, now. However incredible
the American papers may find this “obstinate
refusal to sell what is worth nothing,” it can be
very easily explained. Castilian pride shrinks
from giving np Cuba, whioh according to the
general opinion, is lost to tbe mother country.
However, should Spain re-establish her shaken
power over the Island, she will very likely pro
pose a sale from her own froe will'; but tho
present Government does not wish to bo, after
centuries still reproachfully pointed at by the
genius of Spain for having lost the pearl of the
Antilles.
Portugal.—A Frenoh company has offered
to lay a submarine cable from Lisbon and Gi
braltar to England and America against a privil
ege of twenty years /without asking, however,
for any subvention on the part of Portugal
Russia.—Not long ago the English Govern
ment had proposed to Russia that both coun
tries should declare Porsia and Afghanistan
neutral ground, and pledge themselves to resign
any farther conquests in Central Asia. The
Cabinet of St Petersburg declined at that time
to enter into any obligations; bnt since new
difficulties are rising in Tnrceetan while, on the
other hand, the insurrection of the Kirgliisens
assumes greater proportions, the Muscovite
seems more willing to listen to the proposals of
England, and the official press in Russia sings
now long hymms in honor of the British Em
pire in India, which has done so mach to pro
mote the civilization of the human kind.
A new regulation, the wont of which was felt
a long time, was at last introduced at tho St.
Petersburg Exchange ; the quotations will,
honcefortta, be fixed and published by the brok
ers every day, Saturday and Sunday excepted,
instead of only two Dr three times a week.
Turkey and Egypt.—The Great Powers havo
advised the Viceroy to disclaim all intentions of
making himself independent from his Suzerain.
Professor Brugsch, of Goettingen, Germany,
has accepted an invitation of Ismail Pasha to
found a University at Cairo. Jabno.
The Cotton Supply. •
From the United Stater Economies.] . •
The English Cotton Supply Association have
bad under discussion the question of procuring
a sufficient quantity of that staple to meet the
demands of British manufacturers, and, in their
report, declare that there appears to be little
probability that the production of cotton in
America will, for many years to come, be ade
quate to the requirements Of this and other
countries. For the present they urge the adop
tion of measures to increase the supply of .cot
ton in India ; bnt, at the same time, announce
that 4l to tho Southern States of America must
we look for any permanent increase in the sup
ply of the raw material.” Some of the difficult
ies attending the growth of cotton in other lands
are thus stated in the report:
Out of 1(5,000,000 acres annually appropriated
to cotton growing in India, the largest yield for
exportation was in 18C6, (when stimulated by
high prices;) and did reach 1,840,618 bales—de
creasing in 1867 to-1,508,903 bales, and in 18G8
to 1,420,576 bales—averaging three hundred
and fort-seven pounds. In the District of Ovis-
sa, and in Eastern Bengal, when the largo crop
of 1866 was made, over 1,850,000 souls perished
from starvation, produced from putting in cot
ton lands which should have been appropriated
to breadstuff's. _* * . * *
In Egypt, a more strict system of irrigation is
adhered to, and heavy expenditures for canal
dues, steam machinery and English coal for
fuel to raise water from tlyi Nile, With the high
price qCcotton lands, joined to onerous taxes
exactitfbar the Government, will discourage to
a greSt degree any further increase in cotton
supply; besides, in 1SG5, when a large attempt
at cotton growing was made, some 350,000of tho
population of Egypt perished from actual starva
tion. * * * * Smyrna cut down her fig and
fruit trees in 1864 for the purpose of growing
cotton, but has now abandoned it, while tho rest
of the Levant, except for domestic purposes,
has given it up altogether. * * * Brazil
and Peru are dependent almost entirely npon
irrigation for the production of their cotton
crops. The Pernambuco, Baccio, Bahia and
Santos cottons, so favorably known in the Eu
ropean markets, are produced by damming up
the “rigollettas," or rivulets of melted snow
that come from the Cordilleras, and thus, dur
ing the summer months, furnishing means of
irrigation, so necessary in th'kt arid climate to
the maturity of the cotton plant. But for tho
terraces and irrigating canals of Peru, which
convey tho melted snows from the Andes, she
conld not grow cotton at all—and oven now her
crop is very small, for that imported into Liv
erpool the past year amounted to only 58,911
bags, of 180 pounds—equivalent to i little over
21,000 bales of 500 pounds each. While that of
Brazil, although it amounts to 627,502 bales of
155 pounds each, when reduced to 500 pound
bales, amounts to a little over 195,000 bales.
Some years ago, seed, tools, and experienced
planters and workers in cotton wore sent from
this country to India to test that section in the
cotton-prodncing line. The experiment was a
failure. Neither the quantity nor quality was
such as to justify the outlay of money to contin
ue the enterprise. Since that time other efforts
havo been made in India and Egypt, but with
similar want of success. The climate in those
localities is not fitted for producing a sure and
steady yield of cotton, while rude and insuffi
cient means of transportation from tho interior
to the seaports are also hindrances of no mean
magnitude to the undertaking of rivaling the
United States as a cotton-producing country.—
Besides, the quality of the cotton grown in the
Southern States makes it eminently desirable in
tbe markets of the world. American cotton is
used alone for warp, and, on an average, nine
bales of this to one of all other descriptions in
mills and manufactories. When to these facts
is added another important one, that the con
sumption of cotton increases faster than its pro
duction, we see at once that the Southern States
are the main dependence of the world for a sup
ply of this article. Here is an estimate of the
total supply:
Granting that the East India and the United
States may make full average crops of cotton,
the most favorable production cannot supply
the deficiency, say for the crop of the cotton
year 1869:
Bales.
East India, more than last year 1,500 000
Egypt 230,000
Turkey, Levant, etc 12,500
Brazil, Peru and West Indies, same as last
year 707,500
United States resources more than last
year 2,500,000
All other sources 50,000
Making a liberal estimate of 5,000.000
for tho production of the world, while the con
sumption is over 6,000,000, leaving the apparent
deficit in supply in the “raw material” over
1,000,000 bales of cotton at the end of the pres
ent year. r
How to increase the cotton yield of the South
is a highly important question, not only for that
section, bnt for tho whole country. With n full
yield of cotton at fair prices wo can control the'
trade of tho world in this respect, and hence
the whole energies of the nation should be di
rected to building np the cotton interests of the
belt of States producing this important article
of trade and commerce.
From Patnaiu County—Fine Reports.
Putnam County, Ga., August 18, 1869.
Editors Telegraph: We are having some hot
and dry weather jnst at this time which is pleas
ing to farmers. They are saving their fodder
without being molested by rain, and they say
their com crops were never better to tho num
ber of acres planted. Cotton is also very good,
no rust in it yet, neither do we hear of the cat
erpillar as yet.
The cotton crop in Putnam is hard to beat. I
saw on the farm of Judge W. A. Corley, near
Eatonton, a few days ago, a patch of the finest
cotton I ever saw. ■ While walking through it I
concluded to count tho fruit of some stalkB.' On
one I counted 388 bolls and forms and on anoth
er 411. His cotton is 4 feet in the row and from
2 to 3 feet in the drill. He is now greatly in
favor of guanoes and expects to use them large
ly on what he cultivates the ensuing year.

Commercial Valne of Hie Sonth.
Under this head tho New York Herald of the
15th, enters the following vigorous protest in
behalf of the South:
■ Well might tho North bnckle on all its armor
to keep the South'in the Union, for, apart from
political considerations and the. patriotic senti
ment 6f maintaining the grandeur and glory of
the repnblic intact, that part of our common
country is the source of our commercial wealth
and more valuable to tho North than everTndia
was to England.
According to the latest statistics, the value of
Southern exports last year was over two hun
dred and fourteen millions, while that of the
North was a little less than two hundred mil
lions. There is this great difference, too,
in the nature of the exports of the two sec
tions, that a large portion of those of tho
North is in the precious metals, which, in
a measure, impoverishes the country—while
those of the South are the products of tho soil,
and bring U3 gold, or its equivalent. Cotton,
of course, is the great staple, though tobacco
is a 1 valuable , product, and sugar, rice and
other things, form a part of tho exports. Tho
domestic trade of the South is still more valu
able to the North, for it supplies our manufac
turers with tho raw material they need, and
takes back Northern manufactures in return.
These great and valuable exports nnd this vast
trade, too, have been developed again so soon
after the Southhad been desolated by war. This
not only shows the surprising wealth of the soil,
but'the astonishing energy of Character and re
cuperative power of the people. Yet it is this
rich and beautiful country and theso citizens
which are kept under the heel of military des
potism and made the football of scheming poli
ticians yorfrs after the close , of tbe war. .But
this state of things must soon come to an end,
and the South will rise from its ashes to be the
richest country in the world.

The Growth of the West.
The New York Times of Monday, has a leading
article upon the wealth of.the country and its
flattering individual prospects, from which we
take the following remarkable statistics showing
the growth in population of the Western States
in the Iasi four years:
Within the past four years the population ,of
the nine Northwestern States, from which we
draw our supplies of food, has increased at the
rate of 500,000 annually. To show the rate of
the. increase from 1864 to 1868, we have pre
pared a tabular statement of the number of votes
cast in each State at the Presidential elections in
these years, and have estimated the population
to be five-fold greater than such vote. One to
five may be regarded as the average ratio of
votes to population in the agricultural States in
general and exoited ejections. * * *
The inoreased vote, in tho period of four
years, was 438,590; the increase of population
2,292,950. In 1868 there were nearly half a
million of able-bodied men at work in these
States more than in 1864. Their productive thousand dollars per week

There are still more striking illustrations of
the rapid progress of the new States in material
prosperity and wealth. There were opened

5,000 miles qMBtonijtia These roads transport
annually I'.OOOjons of freight to each mile of
line, or JO,000500 tons in the aggregate. The
thio»tenjtage consists of the pro
ducts of tbe soil—food—and is a most satisfac
tory evidence of the vastly augmented supply.
The increase of tonnage of the roads in opera
tion in these States previous to 1864 will equal
the total of tho new lines. The aggregate in
crease of all since 1S64 cannot be less than 15,-
000,000 tons, having an aggregate value of
$2,000,000.
Itis usually estimated that a farmer living with
in fifteen miles of a line of railroad can avail him
self of it in sending his crops to market. Every
1,000 miles of line constructed, consequently
opens up 30,000 square miles of new territory—
an area equal to a good sized State. But dur
ing the present year fully 5000 miles of new line
will be constructed, opening np 150,000 square
miles, the greater portion of which was last
year wholly beyond the reach of commerce and
of markets* The addition to the wealth of the
country which i3 dne to such an increase of the
means of transportation can hardly be esti
mated. In the meantime, the increase of our
population, which follows fast in the train of the
new works, is at the rate of 1,250,000, all of
whom become efficient co-operators in a common
cause.
Such an increase of population and wealth se
cures to ns advantages possessed by no other
nation. If trade or manufactures be overdone
or. slack, tho passage of a single year brings
1,250,000, additional consumers. With a slight
pause in our industries consumption overtakes
production. Each day 4000 additional persons
share in the burdens of taxation. What is toler
able to-day becomes less onerous to-morrow, and
with the certainty of their steady reduction
and of a full release from them at no distant
day.
The Fall Trade In Dry Goods.
From the Keto York Eceninj Post, August 14(A.]
The general complaint of onr merchants is
that tho fall trade is late this year. The same
thing, however, has been said at this time for
the last five years, and it is owing to the natural
change the whole country has undergone and is
daily undergoing. Railroads are annihilating
distances, the telegraph annihilates time and the
remote Western or Southern merchant no long
er must hurry to the sea coast in June to Iky in
his fall and winter stock. A great change has

in the same way, more anxious of late to out the

of the prospect of the crops.
Thus far onr information goes to show that
the Southern States will, as a whole, be prosper

is in the anxiety of importers and manufactu
rers to sell their goods; and prices may, there
fore, in general be rather moderate, but the
sales will be, it is believed, more than usually
heavy. The stock of imported dry goods is not
so large as has been supposed Dom the import
returns. It is a healthy Mature in onr trade that
this stock is in strong hands, and that there is
less ■ desire to make sacrifices at- auction for
money than for somo years past. Whether this
feature in the trade is permanent remains, of
course, to be seen. • '
There is always less reason to apprehend
forced sales at auction of domestio than of im
ported dry goods. The domestic trade, in this
line, is controlled by wealthy men, and is less
affected by 'speculative influences than the
foreign trade. Except in woollen goods, the
prospects ore good, stocks being moderate and
prices fairly maintained. A month, however,
most elapse before final and trustworthy con
clusions can be drawn as to the mercantile pros
perity of tho city during the autumn months.
Every improvement in transportation brings
this distributing market nearer to' consumers;
and the time is, perhaps, not far distant when
the general practice of merchants in the'cities
of this country will bo, not to buy a winter Btock
at one time, bnt to order from New York from
time to timo that which is needed for the imme
diate supply of customers. It will be seen that
this practice, already universal in such countries
as England, is rapidly growing here, and it is
to this, rathof than to any threatened diminution
of tho demand for goods, that the late, opening
of the “fall trade,” so muoh complained of, must
bo attributed..
Cotton Crop ip Webster and Marlon.
We have just returned, says the Americus
Courier of the 18th, from a trip through a por
tion of Webster and Marion. On the red lands
wo found less rust in . the cotton than on the
sandy lands. Where the lands have a good clay
foundation, very littlo rust is to be se en. And
where the rnst was found on this kind of land,
it was invariably on lands npon .which guano'
had been placed. Almost every field of sandy
laud had rust on tho cotton, whether the guano
had or had not been used.
Cotton generally is not making. Very few
blooms could be seen even in large fields.. The
ground is also well sprinkled with forms which
have fallen off. Very little fruit-on the cotton
of many fields, and where the rust has taken
good hold, the cotton has ceased to bear. ‘The
orop is necessarily largely chtoff, Hot more
than two-thirds of a crop on an average can be
made. This is our conclusion from observations
in Sumter, Houston, Crawford, Webster, Marion,
and Lee.
The com crop, on an average, is only medium.
On some farms the com is excellent, on others
it is poor. Tho Bection of country over which
we have passed will not moke more com than
will be needed to support the plantations. The
surplus one farmer has will be needed to supply
another's deficiency.
While Thad. Stevens was a young lawyer, he
once had a case before a bad-tempered Judge
of an obscure Pennsylvania Court. Under what
he considered a very erroneous ruling, it was
decided against him; whereupon he threw down
his books and picked up his hat in a high state
of indignation, and was about to leave the court
room; .scattering imprecations all around him.
The Judge straightened himself to his fall bight,
assumed on air of offended majesty, and asked
Thad. if he meant to “express his contempt for
this Court.” Thai turned to him very de-
ferently, made a respectful bow, and replied, in
feigned amazement: 4 ‘Express my contempt for
this Court! No, sir! lam trying to conceal
it, your Honor,” adding, to he turned to leave,
“butlfinditd—d hard to do it.”

he is‘innocent, and that yon stole the dog.”
Negro—“I can’t swear to that, Judge, but I
am willin to make his crime mine, and suffer in
his place, so it don’t make no difference.”
The justice finally succeded in making the
faithful brother understand that it did make a
difference, and, evidently greatly disappointed,
he left the court-room; and “Dan” was taken to
jail. •' 1 '~ n * ' ■ '
Weather and Crops.—Tho week under review
has been bright sunshine, such as is wanted by
those who ore saving fodder, and hot enough
for any purpose.
As the season advances, we hear more and
more complaints of the damage done the cotton
by the rest, and from information gained from
planters of the different sections, we are led to
believe that the crop will not exceed the crop of
last year. We are also informed by intelligent
planters that where guano was used, the rest
damaged the cotton more than where was ap
plied domestic manure, but all agree that their
crops are better than they would have been
without the guano. Cannot .this be remedied ?

Shocking Murder.—We learn from citizens
of Jackson county, that a lad, some fourteen or
fifteen years old, named William Coleman, was
shot in a corn-field abont ten miles above this
place, and not far from Newton court-ground,
one day last week. It seems that he was in his
mother’s corn-field, hunting squirrels around
the inclosure. The person who shot him, as
appears by the. tracks left in the soft earth, was,
barefooted at the time, and probably stealing
green corn. It was thought that tho lad was
shot by the thief to prevent exposure. A freed-

Singular Freak op Nature.—The Charleston
Courier is informed by a correspondent that in
the upper part of the State there lives a young
ex-Confederate soldier, whose leg was amputated
during the war near the thigh. After amputa
tion the wound rapidly healed, and he was sent
home. About a year after a fleshy protuberance
was seen to grow bnt of the flesh, which, in the
course of a few months, took the shape of a' foot,
and since that time it has been growing finely,
until now the man has a perfect new foot and
leg growing from his thigh, which, in a year or
so, promises to supply the loss of his leg in the
first instance. If this be true, it is the most
wonderful freak of dame nature that has ever
come to our notice.
