The Cotton Supply and the Future. The Industrial and Commercial Gazette, in an article republished in this edition, says: “The world’s supply of cotton is a million of Idles short of the demand, and fora series of years the increased production can only keep pace with the annually increasing supply. There is, therefore, no immediate prospect of any mate rial reduction in the price of the great-staple.’’ These facts assure the future of. the cotton planter and the progress and prosperity of the South. We have bnt to make wise improvement of them, personally and socially, to rebuild onr shattered fortunes and re-establish onr social and political condition. We must use not only personal energy and enterprise but prudence and a thrifty eoonomy. It matters not what wealth we prodooe if we squander it all. We shall be no hatter off at the end of the year. Then, too, it is quite as important that we should use a wise social economy. Everybody can see that if he employs the capital and labor of others to do that for him which he can better do for himself, he is losing and not making money. Just so‘It is with communities. If they buy from abroad and import what can,bo more economically produced at home, they are violating all sonnd business principles, and can not expect to acquire wealth. This is the case with us in Tespect to a great many of our-supplies of manufactured articles. Wo should produce them at homo instead of buying them from abroad. Our furniture—a good deal of onr clothing—farm and domestic utensils—onr stock—the manipulation of our fertilizers—onr bagging—iron ties, and a great many other manufactures of iron, wood, wool, ' cotton, leather, eta, can be more cheaply pro duced at home than imported from abroad, and wo can never progress in wealth as we ought to do until we leam to practice sound economy in this particular. The Southern people, as a mass, nro now buy ing these things in Europe end the North, while they are at the same time supporting in idleness thousands who would be willing to labor in the production of. these commodities if Sonthem capitalists would but give them the opportunity. Thus, we may say, we really .pay two prices for the same product. A wise selfishness demands that we should look into this matter and provide a remedy just so soon as our pecuniary condi- will admit. The Planter who is accumulating a surplus should be willing to invest it in manu facturing enterprises.

A correspondent of the Charleston Courier says a revolution, social, industrial and politi cal, is going on in Virginia. Immigration from tbe Northern and Easterh Slates and from Europe is ponring in, and the old population, wlute and black, is ponring ont:Southward; so that; in the course of time, Virginia threatens to became assimilated to Pennsylvania .in her industrial pursuits and politics. She will ci'iapgTB-irom a free trade to a high tariff State. This is looking a long way ahead for trouble. Virginia has a large, intelligent white population, ana' a better population, mentally and physical ly, f*t not to be found on the face of the earth. ways to assimilate with the resident population, and not vice versa. When people settle in a strangei.community, upon whom they must ne cessarily !>e.dependent more or less for society, schools .and clmrcb privileges, the kind -offices of good .neighborhood, and counsel and direc tion in sthn njraccnatnmed difficulties of a new situation, the -.tendency to assimilate with the people among whom they mingle is natncally very strong. nnlOS3 they are met in an illiberal and unsocial spiri t. \ Therefore, we think, Virginia will long be old Virginia, still, with such gradual modifica tions of ideas as most inevitably resnlt from the great changes in her material situation. Furthermore, the drift of the world is.to lib eral ideas in respect to trade. Every year the narrow and inconsistent .not ions of tLe protec tionists are becoming more aud.more distrusted and distatefnl to the people.; and although Vir- .ginia has almost illimitable resources of every kind for mining and manufacturing, they do not exceed her vast agricultural wealth. She is a great empire in Uersolf—-lionnd at no dis tant ■ day to eclipse even Pennsylvania, New York or Ohio, in the grandenr.of her material development. Virginia, the bested-all <be States the-moat liberal and patriotic—will yet be re warded' for the unparalleled indignities and suf ferings vvhieh have been inflicted upon her, by finding Iherself a grin at the head .of all the States in population and wealth—in intellectual and materia}- power; and we shell find that she will again be giriiig'dhe bow to the republic, as she has in all the most perilons and potions crisi-i in ihe.-liiatory of the government. Col. Forney ami the Pennaylrwaln Delegation The Bio Cotton Case.—The Garsed cotton ease? involving the ownership of 10,000 bales of •otton, is now.np in the U. S. Circuit Court at Savannah, and will probably ho decided this week. Judges Gould and Stephens,, and Messrs. B. H. Hill and R. -Toombs, will speak to the. points at issue in tbejorder given above. To Resign.—A Washington special to the Conrier-Journal, says that the report ?o often made that Attorney-General Hoar contemplates resigning from the Cabinet is true. He will leave about January 1st, and will probably be appointed to fill tho vacaijoy of the Supremo Court. One of our staff called upon the distinguished delegation from Fenusylvauia yesterday, and met-with a very cordial reception. They are, emphatically, full: of curiosity about this South ern country, and we hope they will all leave it with pleasant Impressions. Senator Cameron and Mr. Kapp, os all know, add the distinction of great capitalists to their other honors, and they invited him to a jWjMWf trip upon their .railways. Both are hearty, genial men, and seem in excellent humor with themselves and the rest of mankind. Jndge Woodward was not,present. The Conftasion.of Fair Openings. Complaints are rife of the want of prepara tion, and the eonftuion at the State Fair; bnt, while we admit that all was not done which might have been done, and that there has been a laek of proper and' complete organization in all its details, incident to inexperience, aad an imperfect . knowledge of what was necessary, yet it is nevertheless strictly true that no amount of precaution could have prevented a scene-of great want of preparation and confu sion at the opening of the Fair. By reason of a general block in the railways, but a small portion of the articles to be exhibited was here in time, and many of them are not here now— so that no possible prevision and precaution by the officers conld have got Die exhibition in readiness is time. Bnt we may make the general observation with entire troth, as we made it a fortnight ago, that no such exhibition was ever yet ready on time. That highest illustration of a Fair, the Universal Exposition in Paris, in I8G7, to which all the unexampled resources of the French peo ple had been brought, was a scene of utter con fusion at the grand opening. So was the World’s Pair at London, in 1851. The grand opening in the angnst presence of the Queen and court was made amid a chaos of mere preparation. .So was the World's Fair in New York, opened In 1853. All waa confusion and clatter. So, a friend telli, was the oase with t’«e Fair of the ■ American Institute in New York, which opened arfew weeks ago with the benefit of many years’ experience. Nothing was ready. . The reason ia plain—there are so many people and so many things to get ready, that even the 'highest promptitude on the part of the manage ment fails to ensnve a tolerable slate o' prepar ation when the Fair opens. We trust that these considerations will aid in reconciling the public to the present incomplete ness of the Macon Exhibition. The work of progress is now rapid, and the display will be highly creditable as the first attempt of the So ciety after many years. Large amounts of mo- noy have been expended and a great deal of la bor has been performed, and we sincerely hope that a corresponding benefit will accrue to onr people by-showing them the latest ideas in the economy-of farm -and domestic labor and in stock for the stable and the farm yard. Some mistakes have been made which, if not too late, should be rectified. The most import ant of these ia that of -running the passenger trains inside the enclosure, so as to combine and confound the duties of -the train conductor and those of the gate keeper at the Fait-- -This has produced delay and trouble. The trains shonld run back and forth all day without inter mission and as rapidly as possible, and at a fare of ten cents each way. The means of trans portation are too deficient and dilatory. Animal Report of Mayor Anderson, nFSavannali. We have received a very neat pamphlet, cov ing the report of the Mayor and Treasurer of Savannah from which we make the following extracts: Amount of bonded debt previous to sale and transfer of the city's interest in the Atlantic and Golf, SSvannah and Augusta, and Montgomery and West Point railroads, $2,048,740. Amount of bended debt after sale and transfer, $816,- 880. Making a saving of interest annually to the amount of $8G,450. The Board of Aldermen of course express themselves very strongly in favor of their -suc cessors in office doing all in their power to per petuate the sale and transfer of the stocks in question, and declare that a reversion of it to the city wonld be “a public calamity ” It is un derstood, however, that the present board do not so regard it. The mortuary statistics of Savannah make' a favorable showing for tho past year—tho deaths unmbering 91G from October 1st, 16C8, to Octo ber 1st, 18G9, against 1124 for the previous year. Contrary to the generally received opinion, the months of October and November, in both years, 186S-G9, were more fatal to life than any other. The value of the taxable real estate of Savan nah for 1859. is set down at$l2 219,140, which, with $1,417,502 17 worth of railroad stock, etc., and public property belonging to the city val ued at $1,203,795 70, makes the total resources of the city foot up $1G,2G9.940 04. These fig ures embrace the salient points of interest in th« report, and will serve to show how onr neigh bors stand on questions affecting their financial future. From Monroe County. From the Monroe Advertiser of yesterday we extract as follows: We regret to learn that the gin-houso of Mr. M. G. Howard, near. Barnesviile, was burned on tbe morning of the 7th instant, together with about ten bales of cotton. It is thought to have been tbe woik of an incendiary. Mr. Frank Wilson, of this connty, accidently shot himself through tho bond, yesterday after noon, inflicting a very painful wound. It is estitualr d that the cotton crop of this section tbe present season, notwithstanding the disadvantages under which it was made, will exceed, by fifteen hundred kales, that of last year. We also learn from the Advertiser that Mr. Jacob, so well and favorably known to its read ers, has resinned his connection with it. We beg to offer onr congratulations to both parties.

IMPORTANT DECISION. Atlanta, November 17 Yesterday tho Superior Court rendered a decision in the caso of Odell ve. tho Western Union Telegraph Company, for sixteen dollars damages. Tbe claim was for two ihousand dollars for error in transmission of a telegraphio message. Tho Court and Jury decided that tele graph companies are not considered common car riers ; that they are not responsible for errors of atmospheric otectiictity over which they havo no control; that tho printed rules and regulation of the Telegraph Company are a special contract bind ing on parties who uso the telegraph lines; that tho damages awarded tho plaintiff were actual expenses for transmission of a message and express expense on a money package missent by error of the tele graph. The Court also decided that telegraph com panies are not responsible for errors, delays, etc., when their line or territory is under tho control and .supervision of military authority. Another Scent from the Stable. From Halley, deputy collector of internal -rsveaue, of California, with his miserable little peculation of $1500, up to deputy coHeetor Blatchford, of the New York Custom House, with Am little games that have cost the govern ment, say $1,000,000, is truly a leap from tho ridioslous to the sublime. Bnt while Halley fled to hide his shame and save his pile, B. re mains like a truly loyal man as he is, to brave the storm and try it again, as so many of his like have done before him. Therein ho shows his wisdom. He will tide over this little diffi- etdty, and mayhaps get a better place. Have not sthers so thriven t Is there not precedent for him? The assaults of the party in power npon pub lic morals and official responsibility, to say nothing of laws and constitutions, have made suoh things not only possible, but almost inev itable. Whether even a change of rulers will bring a purer era, is classed among the doubtful questions by a large portion of the people of this country who bitterly oppose Radicalism. And that is one of the worst results of the evil. The people have not only learned to look in differently upon crimes for which condonation should only be found inside a penitentiary, bnt have lost heart and hope that the future can have any better things in atoro. In reference to the recently discovered frands in the New York Custom House, the New York Post of Friday says: . Tho question whether Deputy Collector Blwtchford is connected with tne immense draw back frands recently brought toligbt in tho New York Custom-house has been definitely settled by the investigation and eXaniiaation of papers made at the Customhouse this afternoon by Collector Grinuell and District Attorney Pierre- pont. The investigations made this afternoon dem onstrate beyond a doubt that an immense quan tity of goods have been removed from bond npon fraudulent papers, and that tbe govern ment has been defrauded of not less than $800 - 000'. The aggregate amount may reach $1,000, 000. The frauds were conducted in the boldest possible.manner, and it is therefore supposed that some one holding a responsible place under tbs government was concerned in them. Draw backs were sometimes obtained to tho amount of $2000 or $3000 for goods alleged to have been shipped on vessels that never left the port. The papers on which these claims were collected had to be signed by Mr Blatchford, formerly in charge of the drawback bureau, and more re cently in charge of the pnhlio stores. It is claimed that Mr. Blatchford received ten por. cent, on frands amounting to §250,000. These are only a part of the frands. FROM NORTH CAROLINA. WiLsrisoTON.

Tho changes effected in the English cotton trade by tlio fluctuations in the prices of the raw material, involve issues of the very highest importance. From the present condition and prospeots of Manchester, it appears that all the statements formerly advanced of the depend ence of the English cotton interests upon the supply from the United States are likely to be fully realized. By a curious anomaly, English manufacturers suffer equally whether the staple is cheap or dear. In 1SG0-61, the markets of the World were flooded, under the stimnlns of low prices for the raw material. Immense stocks of manufactured goods accumulated, and production ceased to bo profitable to the mill owners of Lancashire. Now, the same results are arrived at by a very different process. Cotton is very nearly three times the price it was ten years ago, aDd the manufacturers aro either working their mills without profit, or at a downright loss. An extremo dullness charac terizes the trade in Lancashire. Experienced manufacturers and statesmen perceive that a groat crisis hnR been reached, and they consult, with anxions forebodings, respecting the fntnre prospects of. the chief branch of English in dustry. It must be confessed that tho prospects, from an English standpoint, nre extremely gloomy. Much of the commercial supremacy of that country is dependent upon tho cotton trade. An immense capital is locked np in it, and nearly three millions of persons nre either directly or Indirectly concerned in it. Thonsends of persons are employed in ministering to tho wants and supplying the necessities of the vast cotton factories. \Vben Lancashire is prosperous, all England receives a new impetus of activity and wealth, and when it is dull, tho whole country droops. Tho importance of the cotton trade is felt and recognized in every department of industry, and extends. even to the "domain of politics. It was in the interests of Manchester that England repealed her corn laws and adopt ed free trade. What ia called “the Manchester school of politicians,’’ has come to be a formid able rival to the powerful landed aristocracy. From these considerations some idea may be formed of the deep anxiety felt in England re specting the new calamities that impend over the cotton trade. Nor is this anxiety without sufficient grounds. It lias been ascertained that cheap cotton is tho essential condition of English supremacy in this branch of industry, and that cotton is not only dear at present, but there is no prospect of its being cheapened for some years to come. The World's supply of cotton is less than the demand. It is estimated that if Lancashire could obtain all the cotton that has been raised this year in al) tho various cotton-producing regions, that it wonld still havo only enough for an average of five days’ work a week during the year. From tho experience dnring our civil war, it was supposed that a high prico of the row ma terial was not necessarily injurious to the man ufacturer because the price of tho manufactured article increased in proportion with tho advance in the staple, leaving n duo margin of profit.. But now the manufacturers can make no profit when tho staple is ovor 12d per pound, and can scarcely find a market for their goods at the increased prices, that will cover tho expenses of manufacturing and the cost of tho raw material. It is this absolute inflexibility of the market that constitntes tho real diffianity of the sitna- tiob. Of conrso the primary cause is the dear ness of cotton, arising from the scarcity of the supply. To remedy this great efforts are made by tho English government and capitalists to stimulate production in India and other coun tries. But oven this obvious expedient does not cover the whole case, in view of tho fact that a constantly increasing proportion of the world’s supply of cotton goes to other countries besides England. In other words, England has lost her supremacy of the cotton trade, and other nations now compete with her for the limited supply of tho raw material. India, in place of sending all her row cotton to Englands, retains a large proportion of it and manufactures it into coarse cloths. Tho United States retains about one-third of tho crop, and Continental Europe competes with Lancashire for the bal ance. This disposition of foreign countries to man ufacture a part of their own cotton cloth has led to. numerous propositions. Of these, the most notable is the plan for the removal of Lancashire machinery and skilled labor to India, to be near the source of supply, and thus avoid the expenses of transportation. Bat this project benefits India at the ^expense of Great Britain, and mins Manchester and Liverpool to build np cities in tho jungle. Wo may look probably for the transfer of capital from tho unproduc tive mills of Lancashire. But when it occurs, the United States aro likely to prove the more tempting field. The banks of the Savannah, Tombigbee and Chattahoochee rivers, or even the Merrimao, offer larger inducements and greater attractions to English capitalists and operatives than can be found on tho Hoogly, the Ganges, or tho Irrawaddy. It is by no means improbable that some such result as this should take place. Certainly the South, at tho present time, offers favorable indneements to cotton manufacturers. * ■ , By a carious comparison, England loses her cotton trade, nnd the United States their ship ping trade, as the result of our civil war. The only difference is, that we are likely to Tocover onr maritime prosperity long before England enn recover her cotton trado. Tho world’s sup ply of cotton is a million bales short of the de mand,- and for a series of years the increased production can only keep pace with the annual ly increasing supply. There is, therefore, no immediate prospect of any material redaction in the price of-the great stable. If, then,, tbe London TimeB ia correct in ita opinion that cheap cotton is essential to the prosperity of the English cotton trade, it is plain that tbe alarm felt in'that country at the present con dition and prospect of this important branch of industry is extremely natural.—Industrial and Commercial Gazette. lor tbe Telegraph and ilteeenoer. A GREETING To Mastwi IB Attendance nt She Slat* Fntr. BY SIDNEY HKDBBT. Welcome, ye tillers of the soil, .Ye sous of hudy, noble toil, Welcome to this display Of what- the minds and bands esn do, That to the field and farm are true, And love tho good old wty; The good old way to wealth their fathers trod, Whs lived and died ts tillers of the sod.

Adding new seres, year by yetr. To tbe old homestead grounda. But now, alas! their sons despise The toil by which they sought to lies To wealth within its bounds; Within its bounds—the good old State we love, Beyond whose borders we’ve no need to rove. They seek, they say, “a better land,” That has more dirt and much less sand, And so, to Texas go; Bnt we surmise—do we guess wrong? This is tho bur len of their song:— “Land with less work to do.” Less work to do ? Whoever heard that phrase From our father's lips in their toilsome days f Rejoice, O ye who here remain, By lionebt toil your wealth to gain, • And aid yonr native State, • That in this grand and glad display— The herald of a brighter dsy— Doth toow that she ti great; Great in the prodnets of her fruitful soil, But greater still in honest sous of toil. A manly pride should fill each heart, As from tin's sceno you all depart To seek again your homes; For all that ydu ean here behold, Wrouzlit by the hands of young or old, From honest labor comes; From IZbor comes, in which you claim * part, With ever ready hand and cheerful heart. Long may yon live this soil-to till, And all your hearts’ desires fulfil, That meet the smile of God. And when your labor here is dons, A reBt you will have nobly won, Beneath your own dear sod ; Your own dear sod!

Guyler, who, after having enjoyed the esteem of his fellow-citizens for more than a half centnry, passed away suddenly but gently as an infant asleep to that bourne whence no traveler retnrns. To-day, we notice with sadness the death of Augustus Seaborn Jones, which took place at hiB residence, (Lafayette Square,) in this city Saturday. Col. Jones was no ordinary man, and as a na tive Georgian was the representative of a type of character which has mado Georgia the Em pire State of the Sonth. He was born in Sere Ten county in tbe year 1795, and, at the plough from his early youth, his name is identified with whatever of agricultural prowess his State and section has exhibited for over a half centn ry. His practical mind readily grappled with and controlled, to a large extent, the agri cultural interests of ths State. His sonnd sense discerned the wants of his section,., and his genuine philosophy instilled into the mind of labor its highest rewards—-that the esteem and honor of tho industrions'was wealth to tho Commonwealth. Col. Jones was no illusionist He took a philosophical view of surroundings, and afteh having seen revolutions, j worked'in them, fought in them, came ont of them a triod and frosted man. His fellow-citi zens did not win him,'but he them, and he was called to occupy positions (which his natural in clinations shrank from) in political life. Faith ful to the people whose servant he was in the Legislature; faithful to tho prominent interests «>f his State and the Sonth, with which interests he was thoroughly identified; faithful to the cause to which he devoted the wisdom and sagacity of his latter years, he has ever stood ns one of the “Old Guard” of tho Citadel of Southern rights and independence. Actuated by an enthusiasm which his history always manifested ho made “Georgia” his watchword, and during the lAte war raised a company which elected him their captain, and with the' fail of the note he espoused, he, as a true patriot, also fell. His property and means he cheerfully laid upon tho altar, and now “He sinks to rest By all liia noble, country blest.” [Sitannaii News, 15th. Wincbzstkb, (S. W. B R, . Oaiob«-r 14. IS®. Or J. G.

JNO. 1). WAbB. How the South Feels About the IVar The Savannnh Republican of Sunday 45as the following, which we heartily endorse: NYe are sorry to see such a respectable and well informed newspaper as tbe J.-urnal of Commerce speaking of the "penitence of the Sonth,” and making statements so wide asunder from tho truth as that the Southern people have “prayed Congress for ft/rgiveness." The Jour nal wholly misapprehends the moral status of onr people in relation to this snbject, and, we regret to add, does us, nniutentioually no doubt, great injustice. We beg to enlighten it re garding Soul hern sentiment and guard it against similar errors in future. Mr. Chief Justice Chase comprehends onr condition, and correctly reflected it in a private interview with friends some days ago. The IJ'li’PT’IT T7I71? DAlfD t VY South does not believe that she has sinned, and, i' il i ILiuL JL\ \Jill i il it 11 consequently, for her there is bo snch thing as repentance. Repentance is a result of conscious gilt—a feeling of self-condemnation—no man in the Sonth, -whose heart was in the late war, entertains. Our status toward the Federal gov ernment is simply this: We went ont of the Union beenuso wo believed we had a right to go —we fought for independence because we be lieved we had a right to be independent, nnd could be neither happy nor safe in the Union— we did our heat, fought like men in a cause which we lu-ld sacred—we were whipped and vennd he defeated in onr plans, and, like brave and honor able men, acknowledge the defeat and submit in good faith to all its just and legal consequen ces. We are this, and nothing more, and who ever thinks differently of us makes a mistake. So far as concerns any wrong committed against tlie’“best government the world ever saw,” we are neither sorry nor penitent, and it & a great error to regard us as a nation of contrite sinners on our knees begging for mercy. Having failed in the war, we now ask only for peace, and such measures as are likely to reinstate us in harmo ny with the North. We do it in good faith, and are ready to perform our full part in the work of restoration, in fact and spirit. But we come not ns inferiors or guilty suppliants, but as brave, high-minded Americans, in' all respects the equals of our conquerors, and with consciences void of offence. If the North receives us back a3 anything else, it will be badly cheated. This is the honest truth. We know there are miserable, servile creatures and hypocrites in the South who would make any humiliation of themselves that “thrift may follow fawning,” but sucli is not the temper of tbe great body of tho Southern people. They are honest, lii^h- toned, honorable, and incapable alike of scrvili- d hypocrisy.

This fact speaks volumes in favor of the energy and enterprise of our people,. and furnishes unmistakable evidence that Georgians are surely and swiftly re-gather ing their scattered fortunes..
