A friend jnst returned from a Northern tonr says that the idea jnst now most deeply im pressed on the Northern mind is. the great wealth of the South—the rapidity with which we, in this section, must be heaping np riches ont of an annual cotton crop worth nearly three hundred millions. Our friend told them, as we believe truly, that not ten per cent, of this money from the cotton crop is retained in the South. In the first place thirty-three per cent, of it goes to the laborers—is spent by Christmas and sent North by the merchants to pay for their goods. Of the remainder, when "Western com bacon, flour, hay, mules and horses and North ern fertilizers, agricultural implements, and goods, wares and merchandize of every descrip tion are paid for, what is left? It makes little difference what a man’s income is if he has cor responding outgoes. "We shall not begin to be rich as a community until we gradually adopt the policy of supplying our own necessities and keeping our means at home. Economy is the only road to wealth.' We must raise our own food—make our own ag ricultural implements and diversify our indus try generally, so that every thing we spend does not leave our country immediately, to return no "When A buys of B, his neighbor, who sells supplies produced of Georgia material and shaped by Georgia industry, the money re mains here, and the State is the richer by the value of tho goods created and purchased. But if be buys of X, in Boston or New York, Georgia loses tho money paid, offset only by the pro' ductivo value of the goods purchased. If they be a piano, a fine carraige, a splendid dress or a hand-organ, the gain of productive value to Georgia is inconsiderable. If the Northern people think wo are getting rich very fast, let jw not indulge the delusion. The great bulk of our earnings is lost to us much quicker than we mado it. On tlie Louisville Convention. The visiting correspondent of the Atlanta New Era, says .- If I mistake not the nomenclature of South ern Commercial Convention was applied to this body before its meeting ? If I mistake not, I think the Northern and "Western men came down and borrowed it, and made it a sort of a national affair. I thought at first it was rather a singular procedure to go all the way to New York to hunt a man to preside over the South ern Commercial Convention. And how I still consider it strange that the Convention will be held in Cincinnati. I rather like the national feature which the thing has assumed, but haven’t our Southern delegates ceded more than they really counted on ? Have they not ceded a little more than they really meant to cede ? In other words, have they not been sold at about half price, and that too on “long time ?" And I would like them to tell me when it is thought the nest Southern Commercial Conven tion will bo held south of the Ohio river. However, if future gatherings of this kind are to do no more for the general trade and commerce of the country than this has done, it will matter but little where its meetings are held. I really do not believe that, since the ad journment, half the delegates understand quite as dearly what they came here for as they did before they came. At least, those with whom I have spoken are not very positive about the matter: in fact, it would not be hard to per suade some of them to claim that they did not come here at all—were never in Louisville and don’t expect to be. Louisville did splendidly for the Convention. She opened her exchequer wide. She put on her holiday attire. She had taken special pains to “shine” herself np. She treated every one who camo royally. She made special parade of her mnsic. Sho scattered her beanty around as thick as violets in the spring time, and she gets her pay—in advertising. Never was a city better puffed. Never was one the cynosure of SO many “mind’s eyes.” Sho will get her money back. She does not weep over the price of her whistle. She knows she paid a big price for it, but she blows it in such a way as to be heard from Maine to California, and from Florida to Oregon. To her it was a whistle of worth, and she don’t “care a red” for expenses. She has had what she wanted, has accomplished her aim, and now she may sit back and enjoy the praise that is fleeing at her even from afar off, and gather in tho dividends upon her investment From her increased trade. She bought notorie ty at a high price, and will gather cents per cent, to her intensest satisfaction. That is what the Convention has done. The Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel corres pondent says: During the morning the sidewalks of the city were thronged with a surging mass of humanity that rendered locomotion almost impossible, and from every loophold and window of the houses flags fluttered in the breeze, which, by the way, was most confoundedly chilly. And, now, since they are mentioned, I wish to say a few more words on the subject of flags. Of all the loyal cities in which I have had the misfor tune to bo, Louisville is decidedly entitled to the palm over them all, that is if flags and loy alty are synonyms. It seems to me that every store and house in the city is furnished with one or more of these abominations ranging in size from a pocket handkerchief to a horse blanket. The stage in the Opera House, where the Con vention bolds its sessions, is canopied with one, and on every pillar, post, chandelier, crack or crevice is stuck another. In the reading room of the Galt House (the headquarters of the Geor gia delegation) little Ametican flags have been placed by Bullock in such profusion that one almost imagines himself at the headquarters of General of the armies instead of the room where a crowd of rebellions Ku-klux from a rebellious State are wont to assemble. The flags, by the way, were procured by the Governor, from General Halleck who commands this depart ment, and were probably obtained for the pur pose of infusing loyalty by their presence. I am free to confess that there are many of us here, however, who have grown sick of the sight of so much printed cloth and would be more pleased with Louisville were she a little less loyaL We suggest that as onr friend will probably end his days under the United States flag, it would be best to come as near enduring the sight of it as he possibly can. Look to "Your Gin Houses. The bnming of gin-houses has become of al most daily occurrence, and generally from the same cause, to-wit: matches in the seed cotton. It is very remarkable that this thing should be so universally accidental. Planters are con- , stantly in dread, while ginning, fearing every hour to share the fate of others. Some have gone to the trouble of inspecting thoroughly the seed cotton before permitting it to go to the gin, and in a number of instances matches have been found, either placed there by accident or de signedly. The most charitable supposition is, that they were dropped by cotton pickers carry ing matches in their pockets to light their pipes. Taking this view of the case—we say the most charitable one—no planter should permit pipes or matches to be carried into the field. If smoke they must, have them to do it before they leave the house. If this they refuse, discharge them upon the spot Better save your gin-houses and the cotton yon can piok without such help than to get it all ont to be burned up. We believe it would bo a good plan to have frequent inspections of hands employed in pick ing ootton, to prevent this terrible destruction of property. It would also be advisable to keep but little cotton in the gin house at a time. No less than three gin houses have been burned within a few miles of Sandersville the present season. Two caught while ginning and the other was set fire to by an incendiary.—Ocn- tro.1 Georgian. * / . , Arbiyal or the Excursion Teats.—The ex cursion train which conveyed the State delega tion, His Excellency, Gov. Bollock, and other delegations to the Louisville Convention, re turned to this city on yesterday laden with del egates en route to their homes. All whom we saw speak in glowing terms of their reception and entertainment at Louisville. Unbounded hospitality was the order of the several days the Convention was in session, and everything else attending the arrangements for the accommo dation of the delegates was on the grandest —Atlanta InfeUigeneer. “The Plan of Settlement.” We find in the Atlanta New Era, of Sunday, an article from the “Georgia Republican of tho 16th instant” on “the plan of settlement” in Georgia. The GeorgiaRepublican, we suppose, is Bryant’s paper, of which we have never seen a copy. The gist of the article is in the follow ing extract: It is safe to say that the test oath will not be imposed upon the members of the General As sembly of any reconstructed State. We be lieve that most, if not all of our readers, will agree with ns that this qnestion has been set tled. The case of the split in our party has, therefore, been removed, and we can now, wo trust, unite. We propose the following propo sitions as a basis of settlement: 1. Let Governor Bullock call the General As sembly together before Congress meets. ■ 2. Let the General Assembly reseat the col ored members. 2. Let Congress enforce tho Fourteenth Amendment in all the States, Georgia included. 5. Admit Senators from Georgia. G. Let the General Assembly ratify the Fif teenth Amendment If Governor Bullock does not call the General Assembly together— 1. Let Congress take no action in Georgia matters until the General Assembly meets and re-seats, or refuses to re-seat, the colored mem bers. If the colored members are re-seated— 1. Let Congress enforce the fourteenth amendment in all the States. 2. Admit Senators from Georgia. 3. Let the General Assembly ratify the fif teenth amendment. If the General Assembly does not re-seat tho colored members. 1. Let Congress call together the original members of the General Assembly. 2. Expel the members ineligible under the fourteenth amendment. 3. Admit onr Senators. 4. Let the General Assembly ratify the fif teenth amendment. In other worda, the platform we propose is— 1. Re-seat tho colored members of the General Assembly. 2. Congress enforce the fourteenth amend ment in oil the States. 3. Ratify the fifteenth amendment. We are to understand this as the compromise propositions agreed to by “reconstructed” rad icalism or republicanism in Georgia, failing to accomplish which, the whole party will unite in an appeal for tho intervention of Congress to reconstruct matters with the strong hand. Now, we will charge onr opponents nothing for a quarter’s worth of common sense. Let them look about them andleam the plain les son that nothing can be made ont of reconstruct ing Georgia in any event. Unless they can manage in some way or other to ground their political organization on the good will of the whites of Georgia, they have got no future at all in this State and never can have any. Fifteen months ago tho Telegraph told them they would be beaten forty thousand votes in Georgia, and they laughed at it; but were beaten nearly fifty thousand/ And it will bo worse and worse—worse and worse for them—until they can learn to quit the nonsense which looks to achieve its end by holding the intelligence and wealth of the country under control of negro majorities supplemented by a feeblo following of white spoilsmen. That policy puts them un der the ban of the whites. It concentrates against them the indignation of tho people. There is no man, white or black, who has been through the alphabet, who does not know and feel that it is an unwise, an unpatriotic and disgraceful policy. That it sacrifices tho good of the State—the interests of society to party selfishness and unreason. And when the Northern Radicals complain of the social proscription of men of their own par ty in the South, they ought to have sense enough to comprehend tho philosophy of it. It is not a proscription based in fact upon party politics, bnt it grows ont of the idea that the Southern Radicals are seeking to put men of their own race and color under the domination of tho blacks, who are without intelligence—or char acter—or means—or responsibility; and that jnst so far as tho Southern Radicals or Repub licans succeed in their schemes, they must do it at the cost of the best interests of society—of the State, and oven of the colored races them selves. Now, if tho Radicals or Republicans in Geor gia will quit that policy and “come down into the white settlements,” then they will take the first step towards a solid foundation and permanent status in Georgia and tho South. Then they will stand here as a Republican does in Penn sylvania and Ohio and fight it out with us on general principles of national policy. But until they do abandon it, they will never secure an in fluential white following and their dependence upon negro support unless they can divide white influence will be leaning upon a rotten stick. Now, the first thing for them to do, is to abandon all idea of getting Georgia out of the Union again. Even if the negroes should not be reseated next session, if any shonld be elect ed thereafter, they would be bound to come in. The fourteenth amendment purge, if rigidly enforced by their party, will do them more harm than good. It will always be a frightful policy in any State to appeal against her to Congress. "We hope there will never bo so little pride or patriotism in any State, in which such an act will not effectually damn any politician. And as to the fifteenth amendment, is it pos sible that any politician can sanction so corrupt proceeding as to make its adoption the price of the political existence of a State ? Is Ameri can fundamental law to be ordained and estab lished by bribery, corruption and intimidation? That the Congress of the United States should have sanctioned such a proposition makes it nonetheless audacious in its brazen infamy. We need no better evidence of the fallacy of the dogmas of modem spiritualism, than that the spirits of the reverend fathers of American liberty did not rise in their might and hurl down the very stones of the Capitol on the base heads of Congress when that body sanctioned so atrocious on outrage upon republicanism and free government. Let the Radicals take a common sense view of the matter. By fair means or foul, they have got possession of the State and divided all the offices among them. That is all they can ac- pTiab for themselves on their present programme do what they may. They can gain nothing bnt additional popular odium on the road they are traveling, although they may do much mischief to the State. A thorough change of policy on their part is the only thing which opens the first ray of light on their partyfuture. Jordan’s Alleged Treachery. The story of Jordan’s treachery is thus told in a Havana letter of October 2d: “The most important sensational news has been actively circulated in this city for the past few days in regard to the surrender of Jordan, with his whole force. It has constituted the main topic of interest. The telegram inform ing you of the fact was authorized by the Cap tain-General, who sent for the agent .of the New York Associated Press, and through his telegraphic censor gave him the news that Gen eral Jordan had submitted proposals of surren der, not of himself alone, but of the whole force under his command. The terms said to have been proposed by Jordan were substantially that a Targe sum of money, (amount not stated,) was to be paid to him on the completion of the surrender, and that his personal safety was to be assured by the government until his safe ar rival in the United States. The reply of Gen eral Do Rodas was that, considering existing cir cumstances, his duty compelled him to refuse any proposals of this nature, and that he hoped within ine short space of three months to mete out to him (Jordan) the punishment which his" practical conduct merited. This is, in a few words, the version given by the Captain-Gen eral of the affair which has caused intense ex citement here.” The Colored labor Convention. Every reflecting Georgian must, of course, feel great interest in the welfare, oontentment and prosperity of the colored people of this State. They are an important portion of our population. Their labor produces perhaps only a little short of two-thirds the total amount of onr crop values, and is rated at one-third the total value of this product. We should’ estimate it to be worth to itself annnally not far from fifteen millions of dollars, and will not under take to prononnoe upon its actual yalae to the whole industrial interest of the State. . It pro duces about two hundred thousand bales of onr cotton crop, and perhaps more, and we shonld say at least twelve millions of bushels of com; and, therefore, in solving the question of the value of this labor to Georgia we must consider the possibility of substituting it by some other, supposing it were suddenly to be withdrawn from the field. In this view of the matter we have no donbt that a good deal of interest will be felt among the whites in knowing the views, feelings, plans and purposes of this Colored Labor Con vention, now in session in Macon; and we, therefore, invited the Convention to report their proceedings, in their own way, in the Telegraph. Accordingly, we observe that the official record contains a characteristic flourish of titles, and is set forth in much pomp; bnt this is immaterial Tho Convention itself, just so far as it indicates the existence of dissatis faction nmong this laboring class, and a deter mination coupled with the ability to exact in creased wages, is an interesting fact to every planter. This movement, it seems, is not confined to Georgia. The “Charleston Daily Republican, calls a similar one to meet at Colombia in that State, and proposes to change the Union League into Labor Unions, and put into force upon the plantations and in every household, all the iron handed despotism of the white labor unions, which, in point of fact, destroys bargain in tho employment of labor, and makes the employer the victim of compulsion not only in the wages to be paid, bnt in pretty much all the details of laboring. It is enough to say that the introduc tion of the Union Labor system on the farm and in the households, if it were possible, would be attended with so great inconvenience and oppres sion that most people would prefer to dispense with the labor. It is enough to be bossed in the shop—it would be intolerable to bo mastered at home. But we trust, with good management npon the part of the whites, the mischief done maybe limited. It is our business as white men— owners of tho soil and employers—to obtain and preserve a dominant influence over the negro, by showing him that we are not only his best friends, but actually and truly the only friends he has got on earth who can be of any service to him. Neither his Northern allies or their representatives on our soil, nor his own race in the South are in any condition to be serviceable to Mm. They cannot famish Mm with regular supplies of food, clothing and money, wMle the Sonthem wMtes can do it and find their own advantage in doing it. Almost tho first point, then, with the good Sonthem planter who looks for a permanent and prosperous business, is to secure the entire con fidence and attachment of Ms colored laborers. This cannot be done even by fair dealing if it is not a kind of dealing in wMch the negro is able to see for himself that he is justly and liberally dealt by. A planter may keep an honest account current, in wMch everything during the year has been honestly debited and credited, bnt ten to one the negro will go off from settlement dis contented and suspicious. Tho practice of some planters of dealing in supplies for their hands of shoes, clothing, to bacco, etc., is at best a dangerous one nnd likely to cost more than it comes to. If convenience requires it, then deal in cash. Tell tho wages into the hands of the negro carefully at the end of every month, and then let him buy if he chooses. It is peculiarly true of the negro that “short reckonings mako long friends;” and if yon are to have a long reckoning, compare your notes with Ms memory every few weeks—so that he can know exactly how the account is running. Be sure of this: that if by trafficking with your hands you have managed it so that they will have nothing left at Christmas, you have done a bad business for yourself, however honest may be the account Yon will find it hard to keep Mm another year. Tho great secret of success ful planting now is, a force of reliable, faithful and contented laborers. Therefore speculate upon anybody else rather than yonr field hands. Now, we are gratified to believe that the Georgia planters have shown, as a general thing, great justice and liberality to their field laborers and yet cases of this trafficking in to bacco, shoes, flour, whisky and calico do come to onr knowledge, and we are sure whenever we hear of it, that the man is saving a dollar at the cost of twenty. The Charleston Republican, gives a doleful account of sharp dealing with the negroes of South Carolina—true or false we know not—bnt all sharpness with tho negroes is a monstrous dullness on the main qnestion of making money in planting. Tho confidence of laborers in the justice of employers must constitute tho main defence against all these schemes at combination by wMch Jeff Long or any other Jeff will sit in his barber’s shop and prescribe wages for the coun ty or call a convention for tho purpose. Plan ters and employers must be willing to pay lib eral wages and make all their dealings transpar ent to the mind of the laborer. If this or any similar fuss should have the effect of raising the standard of wages unreasonably, then we must Mro on shares, and we must do with fewer honse servants—but we must keep faith with the negro and increase onr influence over him day by day, in the only legitimate way of a liberal, considerate and just dealing.

It consists of a trap door or platform, attached to the ends of the cars by means of hinges, and when lowered fitting directly over the steps, thus extending the platform the full width of the car. The ob ject is to enable passengers to walk ont of the car immediately on to the roadside platforms without going down steps aDd then mounting at great inconvenience. Where there are no road side platforms the trap can be kept up and se cured by a catch against the panel of the oar. It also prevents boys in cities from getting on the cars while in motion, from wMch endless accidents have happened. If one falls off the trap, he will go clear of the tracks and wheels.

THE UBCllATIOJf OF THE SEA. Captain Bent's Story of an Open North East Passage to the Polar Sea—The Gulf stream and Knro-Stwo of the Pacille. . The leading article in Putnam for November reviews Captain Bent’s Theory of a perpetually open passage to the Polar Sea as developed in a recent address before the St. Louis Historical Society. The subjoined extract from this air tide gives the leading ideas of Captain Bent, and contains facts of singular interest in regard to the Circulation of the Seas, and those great Ocean currents of wMch the Gulf Stream,-of the Atlantio, and the Knro-Siwo of the Pacific are the most striking examples: It has long been an established faotv in Phy sical Geography, that, at certain times, there must be a passage, through open water, from the North Ptcific to the North Atlantic, by way of - the Arctic Ocean. The evidence of this was conclusive from the history of the Right Whale. It is the habit of whalemen to stamp their har poons with the name of their ship, and the time and place of their fisMng. Stricken by the fishermen, bnt not mortally, a whale was found by Dr. Scoresby and others in the North Atlan tic, bearing, buried in his side, harpoons stamp ed with the Pacific mark made by ships cruis ing near Behring’s Straits. The Right Whale, when most hotly pressed by his pursuers, it is well known, cannot find refuge underwater, hut must, at short intervals, come to the snrface to breathe. He could not, therefore, hav9 crossed tho Arctic Ocean under ice. He cannot endnre warm tropical waters, and it has been ascer tained from countless sources, that to him the Equatorial Ocean is as impassable as a sea of fire. Since then, tho whales harpooned in the Pacific and afterwards caught in the Atlantic, could not have reached the Atlantic by way of Cape Horn or the Cape of Good Hope, in which case they must twice cross “the sea of fire;” and, since they could not pass under the ice of a frozen ocean, it was plain that they found, at least, an occasional open avenue through tho Axctio waters. But this fact does not prove the existence of a permanent, nor even of an occa sional Mghway for navigation to tho Pole; and, though often dwelt upon, seems to be calculated to delude, rather than to gnide the Polar travel er. Certainly, he would be a bold sailor, who should venture to follow, in his ship, the track of a Right Whole. The true Arctic problem, therefore, we con ceive, is not whether there is a passage to the Pole, bnt it is this: Is there a permanent and navigable way to the Pole? This question our author answers in the affir mative. And, it is but just to Mm and to tho reader that we give the substance of Ms reason ing, as far as the limits of this review admit, in the words of the Address itself: “There is,” he says, “a circulation in the air; there is a circulation in the bodies of all ani mals ; there is a circulation in the ocean—all of which are governed by laws, immutably fixed, and wMch in all their modifications and condi tions theyrigidly observe and obey. “Tho sea, the atmosphere and the snn, aro to tho earth what the blood, the lungs and the heart are to the animal economy. There is an equil ibrium in all nature. Let me here quote to you a single passage from one of tho most sci entific and beautifully written works upon the subjects of which we are now treating. I allude to that on ‘The Physical Geography of the Sea,’ by my friend, Admiral M. F. Maury. He says: ‘The mean annual fall of rain on the entire sur face of tho earth is estimated at about five feet. To evaporate water enough annnally, from the ocean, to cover the earth on the average five feet deep witb|rain; to transport it from one zone to another, and to precipitate it in the right places, at snitable times, and in the pro portions duo, is one of the offices of the grand at mospherical machine. This water (bear in mind) is evaporated principally from the Torrid Zone. Supposing it all to come thence, we shall have encircling the earth a belt of ocean 3000 miles in breadth, from wMch this atmosphere evaporates a layer of water, annnally, sixteen feet in depth. And, to hoist up as Mgh as tho clouds, and lower down ngain all the water in a lake sixteen feet deep, three thousand miles wide and twenty-four thousand miles long, is tho yearly bnsiness of this invisible machinery.’ Now, I ask yon, understanding as we do the constant effort of nature to restore equilibrium, nndthelawsof adaptation,what must bo the effect npon the ocean of the removal of this immense mass of water of twenty-four thousand miles in length, three thousand miles wide, and sixteen feet in depth ? Certainly an endeavor on the part of the water to occupy tMs enormous space; and to do this, all the waters both north and south of this space or zone are at once set in motion to restore this equilibrium; and, were there no obstructions, as continents and islands, this flow would be uniform round the whole earth. “ Now, an object set in motion toward tho equator from the polar regions—where tho ve locity of the earth’s rotation is small—will con stantly bo arriving at points on the earth’s sur face where the velocity is greater, and, not at once acquiring this greater velocity, its direc tion will tend obliquely to the westward. Hence, we find tho streams or currents which flow from the North Pole towards the Equator, always take a southicestwardly direction, whenever the con tinents and islands will permit These streams from the Northern and Sonthem hemispheres, meeting at tho Equator, form and give direction to tho Equatorial currents, the waters of wMch are thrown to the westward; but, interrupted by the continents, which lie across their paths, and changed in their specific gravity by the expan sive heat of the sun, they throw off hot streams to the north and south, tike blood from the heart of the animal system, to carry their life-giving warmth and nourishment, along their path, to the earth’s extremities. “Of these streams there are two in the north ern hemisphere and three in the southern. Tho two former are known as the Gulf Stream of the Atlantic, and the Kuro-Siwo of the Pacific; the first delineated by observations taken by the United States Coast Survey, under Prof. A. D. Bache, and the Knro-Siwo from observations made npon it by tho Japan Expedition, under Commodore M. 0. Perry.” Having laid down the basis for Ms argument in the very first principles and laws of nature, Captain Bent calls in the exactly observed facts which bear upon it. He says: “To describe the first of the two great currents of the North ern Hemisphere, I shall again quote from M. F. Maury’s ‘Physical Geography of tho Sea,’ wherein he says: ‘There is a river in the ocean. In the severest droughts it never fails, and in the mightiest floods it never overflows. Its banks and its bottom are of cold water, while its current is of warm. The Gulf of Mex ico is its fountain, and its month is in the Arctic Sea. It is the Gulf Stream. There is in the world no other such majostio flow of waters. Its current is more rapid than the Mississippi or the Amazon, and its volume is more than a thousand times greater. Its waters, as far out as the Carolina coasts, are of an indigo bine. They are so distinctly marked, that their line of junc tion, with the common sea-water, may be traced by the eye. “ ‘Often, one half of the vessel may be per ceived floating in Gulf-stream water, while the other half is in common water of the sea, so sharp is tho line, and auch the want of affinity between those waters, and such too the relno- tanco, so to speak, on the part of those of the Gulf Stream to mingle with the common water of the sea. At the very season of the year when the Gulf Stream is rushing in greatest volume through the straits of Florida, and hastening north with the greatest rapidy, there is a cold stream from Baffin’s Bay, Labrador, and the coasts of the North, running to the South with equal velocity. These two currents me6t off the Grand Banka of Newfoundland, where the latter is divided^ One part of it underruns the Gulf Stream, as is shown by the icebergs, which are carried in a direction tending across its course. The other fork runs between the Uni ted States coast and the Golf Stream to the South. As a rale, the hottest water of the Golf Stream is at or near the snrface. There is rea son to believe that its waters are nowhere per mitted, in the oceanic economy, to touch the bottom of the sea. There is every where a cushion of cool water between them and the solid parts of the earth’s crust. Cold water is one of the best non-conductors of heat, and if the warm water of the Gulf Stream was sent across the Atlantio in contact with the solid crust of the earth—comparatively a good con ductor of heat-—instead of being sent over a non-conducting cusMon of cool water, to fend it from the bottom, all its beat would be lost in the first part of the way, and the soft climates of both France and England would be as that of Labrador, severe in the extreme 8nd ice-bound. “‘The maximum temperature of the Gulf Stream is 86 degrees, or about 9 degrees above the ocean temperature due to the latitude. In creasing its latitude 10 degrees, it loses but two degrees of temperature, and, having ran three thousand miles to the North, .it still preserves, even in winter, the heat of summer. The heat it discharges over the Atlantio in a winter’s day, would be sufficient to raise the whole volume of atmosphere that rests np on France and British the. Isles, from the freez ing point to summer heat “ ‘A simple calculation will show that the quantity of heat daily carried off by the Gnlf Stream, from the regions of Central America and Mexico, and discharged over the Atlantio, is sufficient to raise mountains of iron, from zero to the melting point, and to keep in flow, from BY TELEGRAPH. from wasiuxgtox.

The facts in the case, as we gathered them during the trial, are about these: In 1864, at precisely what time we did not learn, plaintiffs deposited with Mr. A. F. Franklin, Agent at No. 13, Central Cailroad, something over two hun dred bales of cotton, subject to their order, and for which they paid Mr. F. storage. Some of this cotton they had bought of Mr. Franklin.— The cotton remained in the warehouse until November, when Sherman burned the house, and destroyed tho cotton, as contended by de fendant. The plaintiff brought an action in March last, for the recovery of the cotton, and claimed that it was not destroyed bnt removed by the Company through their Agent, Mr. Franklin. • The testimony being heard, the debate was opened by Col. Evans, of the local bar, followed by Gen. Jackson and Gen. Lawton, Gov. John son delivering the closing address. The reader can readily imagine that foemen such as these seldom meet in such numbers, but when they do ’tis not forgotten by the beholder.

All of wMch were overruled by the Court. Judge Gibson paying the county a merited compliment for the deter mination manifested on the part of the citizens to render the accused even-handed justice. The prisoner having pleaded “not guilty,” the court proceeded to the empaneling of a jury, and after having exhausted two arrays— one of forty-eight nnd the other of twenty-four —without obtaining half tho requisite number, the ease was continued until the next term of court.

The Virginia Enterprise, of the 30th ultimo, furnishes the folowing particulars, to wMch it may be added that the telegraph has already noted the termination of the difficulty and re sumption of work by the Chinese laborers: Yesterday afternoon the miners connected with the Virginia and Gold Hill Miners’ Unions assembled in Gold Hill, and, after getting in line, with a dram and fife, marched out along the railroad for the purpose of driving off the CMnese graders. Along with this little army went a promiscuous crowd of spectators and stragglers of all kinds. Just beyond the Over man Mine, at the request of the sheriff, the miners came to a halt, and he read them a pro clamation commanding them to desist from the tmlawfnl bnsiness they were npon, and to dis perse. In reply to this, Mr. Atkinson, President of the Gold Hill Union, said that they would first do what they had started to do and then disperse. He was loudly cheered. Deputy Sheriff Gracey then read from the statutes the riot act of the United States. The miners then marched on. Everywhere at their approach the Chinese all left their work, ran to their camps, gathered np their baggage, and preoipitately left, many of them taking to the hills. The miners had it all their own way. The spokesman of the miners, npon arriving at the several camps, asked for the foreman of the camp, then told him to send all the Chinese off the works, giving them jnst time enough to pack up their traps, sling them on a pole and travel. He elso told the foremen that in case the Chinese were again Bet to work on the road they would come after them and not the Celestials.' "With dram and fife playing they went down the road, scattering the Chinese wherever they found them at work. Upon the return march we are told that they leveled all the CMnese shanties in their course. The affair created a good deal of excitement both here and on Gold Hill, and was the cMef topic of conver sation on the street and in pnblio houses in both the towns daring the afternoon and evening among all classes. Three Other Gin Honse* Burned. "We learn that the gin house belonging to J. H. & R. R. Thweatt, some five miles from Co lumbus, on the Lumpkin road, was oonsumed by fire at 10 o’clock yesterday. About twenty- four bales of ootton were burned. Estimated loss $4,000. The fire probably originated from a spark from the saws. The gin house of F. Fontaine, in Russell county, Ala., was, we learn, horned on Saturday night, with between sixty-five and seventy-five bales of cotton. We could learn no particulars. Information also reached here on yesterday of the bnrning, on Sunday night, of the gin house and twelve bales of eotton belonging to Henry Kyse, near Seale’s Station, Ala.

J “ The commissioner of agriculture sets the i teresting and discouraging aspect of our whe»L growing powers in a strong light, in renlviml lately to a letter from Senator Sprague ' hi says: “Our temporary occupancy of landsb wheat and the extentiota of wheat gnmtnh! new fields, wMch in turn will bo abandoned t a few years, prevents a proper appreciation Hi the alarming decrease in the yield which is j». tually observed in localities in which wheat growing has long been practiced.” Diminution of yield is, he says, the rule, cept in the case of a few scientific farmers,"' ;j all the States in wMch the same lands are ri tivated in wheat for a series of years. For fa. stance in Ohio, for a period of five yean endai in 1854, the average yield was thirteen and three-tenths bushels; for the succeeding period of five years, eleven and two-tenths bnshek Comparing the period ending with 1854 with the last five years, a still greater reduction is shown, nine and three-tenths bushels being the average, or a reduction of four bushels, or thir ty per cent, decrease in fourteen years. • In 1866, owing to the severe winter killing the average was ruinously depressed in the Oho valley, being bnt four andfive-tenths bushels it Ohio, five and nine-tenths in Indiana, and ai and five-tenths in Kentucky. The average fa the United States in that year did not exceed ten and five-tenths bushels. A remarkable decrease in production is » ported in the Genesee Yalley, the bread-jeSJ. ing section so famous a few years since. ’ Ti* New York census of 1865 gives but twelve lash. el3 as the average for the crop of lSGiintht State. The national average for a few yens past has not exceeded twelve bushels per sere, notwithstanding the large yields of California, and occasionally some of the newly sealed Western and Northwestern States. TMs is sorely a most discouraging statement of facts to a people who are wont toboasiof their intelligence and talk a great deal of the progress made in agriculture, and who are op erating in a new country, upon land in almost its first fruitfulness. If, as it is to he presumed our cultivated fields are to endure as long as & “everlasting hills,” and when we know fist countries that really have something of the re spectability of age are still producing abtml antly, and increasing their averages, it is rid iculous, in tMs new world, to talk of fields won out and lands exhausted by long cultivation. The use of such terms is only a poor attempt ia excuse our own ignorance and want of skill h their management. If they are worn out, it u still our fault. For what but the most shame ful mismanagement could have worn out lands that, in the nature of things, mnst have bees designed by the Creator to last through all time ? If we turn to “old” England we find aot- ferent state of things. There the best agricul tural skill is put under scientific direction, and the result is a constant though slow working up ward of the average, and we find it to excel oms by one hundred and tMrty-three percent. The increase in production there in the hundred years past averages five bushels per acre, la 1770, according to Arthur Young, the yield was twenty-three bnshels. In 1850, by the estimate* of Caird, twenty-six and a half bushels; at the present time twenty-eight bnshels is considered as the average, though the crop of last year ei- ceeded it. The average in Ireland for twenty years past is placed at twenty-four bushels; (« Great Britain—England, Scotland and Irelano- twenty-seven bushels. The commissioner of agriculture hft3 d® well to bring facts of so much importance to W notice of the country. These low averages u* not a necessity, as may be seen from those of England, qgfl as we may learn from the enp pie of tlMbe. scientific farmers of whom J speaks as exceptions.
