The South to Send General Gor
don to Europe.
The New Orleans Cotton Exchange
i* taking (tops to raise a land to send
General Juo. B. Gordon, United States
Senator from Georgia, to Europe,
when tlio regular session of Congress
closes next spring, as an ambossadoro/
the material interests of the New
South, to invite the attention of tho
Old World to the foot that these fertile'
States are now finally pacified, and
reoognized upon a free labor basis, and
are'consequently, anxious to roooive
and to foster European capital and
labor.
This idea is a happy oue and cannot
bat resnlt in great and far reaching
good. Tho more formality with which
tho visit can be surronndod tha better.
It Bhould be made an event cqu.il in
importance to tho visit of tlio Emperor
of Brazil to this country. Tbe formal
receptions which were tendered to him
nttrootod the attention of onr people to
his country and as n legitimate result
wo sco a general demand for tlio pro
motion of commercial relations with
Brazil. The selection of Gen. Gordon
for snob a mission is very wise. Ho
happily unites in his person tho quali
ties of on ideal fighting confederate
with those of a civil lender of tho pro
gressive tendencies of the now South
which looks.to tlio future ns contra
distinguished from the old Soatli,
which fell with slavery. While thor
oughly representative of this section
he is warmly admired at tha North and
his mission will be one of conciliation.
Thu North will rejoice to honor him
and second the move.
If General Gordon cun be sent to
Europe with sufficient edit, ho will, at
the Paris Exposition and at other
places, do a great work towards at-'
trocting attention to onr reeonrees.—
It will be a magnificent and successful
advertisement of the foot that we aro
out of tho slongh of despond and fall
upon the highway of material pro
gress.—New Okleanh Tons.
Uhemitiiinq a Still.—-At 462 and
4ff4 Wost street, New York, is a mo
lasses house, on the north side of
which, in an open lot, is a dog ken-
ltd, in which, until Tuesday last,
somobody kopt a largo and surly
black dog. Revouuo offioors Me
teor and Hawley, suspecting that
a still was under these lots, had tho
ground dug up. They found their
prize five feet nndor the surface.
Thero were two rooms, ten by
twelve feet, walled and roofed with
thick plank and timl ore, that look
ed as though they might have beau
there for ton or twelve years. In
one room wero til' • contained sev
eral hogsheads of tnoloeses, and bar
rels of rum. In the other was tho
still in full operation. Eeadiug
frota this room is a tunnel, at tlio
extremity of which Mioliael Lyons
was found trying to tscapo through
an aperture found in this under
ground still was seized, and Lyons
was commit tod.
The power of interest I Mightior -
tbauauarmy with banners; stranger -
than the rash of many waters; rarer
than the sun to thine or the rein to
fall, it grows on, and on, increasing
here a little and there a little, until
even figures of its immensity. Man
hattan Island, now the city of New
York, was bought by the Dutch from
the Indiants for sixty guilders, or
twenty-foar dollars, about two hun
dred and fifty years ago. And yet, -
if the purchasers coaid have secure
ly placed that $24 where it would
have added to tbe principal, anuu- ;
ally, interest at tho rate of 7 per
cent., the accumulation would ex- ;
ceed tho present market valuo of all
the real estate of tbeeity r.nd county
of Now York.

lure o 'cotton goods ill tho Southern
Stab i, iu which He say* that as the
people recover from tiie shook amides-
olatiou of tho p est thoir little surplus
finds investment naturally iu cotton
mills. Georgia has always boon the
leading Southern State in this respect,
and still leads, although Mississippi,
the Curciilias, Alabama, and Tennessee
have greatly increased their surplus

Tho wbolo outlay of tho Trailed
Kingdom for intoxicating drinks iu
187(1 was estimated at $700,000,000;
that of the United States for the
samo year is said to have been $G00,-
000,000. Bat John Bull draws a
very handsome revenuo from this
source. The income of Great Brit*
inn for 1876 wes aboot $400,000,009,
and of this amount $170,000,000
enmo from custom duties on wine
and spirits, ■ and oxciso duties on
spirits, malt, and licenses. In 1862
the easterns duties oa imported
wines and spirits amounted to $18,
760,000; for the year ending ou tbe
31st of March List they wero $37,-
600,000. Exciso duties on spirits,
malt and licenses iu 1862 came to
$86,000,000; for tho year ending on
the 31st of March lust they were
over $132,000,000.
How a Wrecked Ship
Floated.
The Ban Francisco Alto, of Octo
ber 22d, oontoius this interesting
statement: “The irou steamer Geor
gia was purchased iu 1876 for tbe
Pacific Mail Steamship Company,
to be placed ou tbe route bt tween
this city and Panama. She b&d pre
viously been running between New
York and Charleston. On hor trip
ont here in December, she was
wrecked on a reef in the Straits of
Magellan. Tbe compauy determi
ning to olluct her resale, a party
belonging to the American Coast
Wrecking Company was sent down
on board tho steamer Wilmington
for that purpose. A survey show
ed the Georgia to bo well up on the
reef, with 120 feet of her keel torn
ont, and two-thirds of hor under
iron plates bent and broken. Sho
wns goncrnlly in a very bad condi*
tion. A novel plan of rescue was
adopted, iu filling her frame spaces
even with the tops of her floor with
Portland ceiuout. This hardening,
formed a solid wall against the in
gress of the water in a most satis
factory man nor. Shu was rigged
with tbroo wreaking pumps, thpt
kept her almost free from water, and
then floated oil Her enginos being
in good condition, the Georgia was
otiabied to reach this port under
steam on tlio 28th of August. She
is no.v iu mngiiiflcciit condition,
completely seaworthy, and eveu
more-strong and substantial than
when sho originally loft New York.”
