A New Orleans dispatch says
'G**n. Joe Davis, nephew of ex-Pies.
idem Davis, says there is no money
in the Bank of England to the credit
of the Confederate government. He
also states that ex-President Day is
expressed a similar opinion to him
just before his departure tor England,
hence the report that his visit to Lon
don was made for the purpose of as
certaining what amount was in % the
bank, was idle.
Gen. Davit says that at the time of
the surrender ot Lee there was ip the
bands of Jacob Thompson, who’ was
in Canada, about 4150,000, 'and
probably as much more in the pos-
session of Gov. McRea, financial agent
ot the Confederacy in Eogland. Thete
nere»all the funds owned by the Con’
federate government at the time ot
the surrender;. _Gov. MoRea sent p
considerable sum to Mr. Charles
O’Conor to defend Mr. Davis and
other Confederate leaders, who were
threatened with prosecution by the
federal government The old lawyer,
however, refused to accept any corns
pensation for.defending Jefferson Da
vis. Gen. Davis believes these fnnas
have all been expended long since.
much beneficence.
So many, and ot such frequent oc
currence, are their atrocities, that not
a few thoughtful men are propounding
the query, if it would not be - better
for humanity it the entire canide race
were to becumerextinot The ; indus
try upon which the innumerable dogs
bear most heavily, is f heep and wool
growing, and in some localities it .is
the case to such an exteift, as to vir
tually amount to prohibition. That
wool growing in this country should
be tosiered, would appear demonstra
ted by the fact that, in fifty years,
America has sent abroad 41,250-
000,000 for woolen goods, or if we ac
cept, as we must, the statement in
the latest report of the Treasury De
partment Statistician, that, in the
year ending June 30th, 1880, our
people expended for foreign wool and
woollen fabrics, the sum ot nearly
$58,000,000; the value ot a wool-clip
Irom 35,000,000 well bre^ sheep. In
the year preceding, 128,000,000
pounds of wool alone were imported.
As long ago as 1868, the Commis
sioner oi Agriculture estimated the
direct losses to sheep owners by tbe
ravages of dogs, at $1,000,000 iu wool
and mntton, and the tndiiect loss in
preventing sheep husbandry, especial
ly in the south, at double that sum
annually. Fortunatnly we have at
baud a lew official figures, showing to
some extent the discouragements
caused to sheep * husbandry by tbe
presence of so many destructive dogsf
In 1876, Massachusetts was reported
as having 114,000 dogs, and 55,000
sheep, the latter gradually decreasing
in numbers, while the tormer made a
noticeable increase. In Ohio the sta
tistics show that during the thirteen
years, from 1867 to 1879 inclusive,
the number of sheep killed by dogs
was 459,437, valued|at $1,296,398,23;
the number injured by dogs, was
309.682, estimated worth S497,l3’2-‘
31. In Illinois, in 1876, the value of
sheep slaughtered by dogs, was $30,-
578, in 1877, $63,752; in 1878, $43,-
885; for the year ending May, 1879
the loss was 27,338 head, with a val
uation ot $2.40 per head, or a total
ot $65,384. Kansas, its people being
imbued with an appreciation of its
advantages as a pastoral region, has
as little partiality for dogs as any state
and strongly indicative of this is the
returns of the assessors, showing an
increase of sheep during tbe year,
ending Mach 1st 1880, ot nearly 42
jjer cent, and for the year eudiug
Mareh 1st, 1881, almost 100 percent;
but at the same time, this does not
signify that there are no dogs in Kan
sas. The state census of 1875, showed
an enameration of 74,696, and the
aasessor#found 143,650 in 1881. It
is the opinion of those who have en
deavored to make snch enameration
in this and other states, that through
fear of taxation, and from other
causes, not more than half the actual
number are returned. It this is a
correct theory, the canine population
of this new state approximates about
287,000, officially reported as destroy
ing in the year ending March 1st,
1879,8,025 sheep; March 1st, 1880,
4,369 sheep; and March 1st, 1881.
5,361 of the same useful, harmless,
wool-bearing, meat-producing em
blems of peace and thrift. In the
four counties of Doniphan, Norton,
8heridan and Wyandotte, where a
million sheep could thrive, the asses
sor* this year found 1,377 bead,
watched and tended (presumably),by
4,576 dogs.

cotton country..Even Rabun, in the
'mi-te'imd-'-eBfciy frosts of its beautiful
valleys, with its 45 acres, produces
14 bales of cotton, which is nearly a
bale to 3 acres ; and Union, on the
North ‘slopes of the great Bine
Ridge,’ with 12 acres, yields 5 bales,
' The fine yield per acre ot such coun
ties as Gilmer, Union and Rabnn will
perhaps be surprising to tbe people
themselves of those counties. The
yield of Gwinnett is extremely fine—
with 27,549 acres, the crop was 11-
810 bales, while Morgan with 35,243
acres, yields only 7,358 bales. This
demonstrates most clearly the superi
ority of small • farms well cultivated.
In Morgan, we largely see the old
plantation system. Gwinnett is a
splendid county of small farms ; and
though Morgau has 8,694 acres more
than Gwinnett in cotton, the yield is
4.432 bales less. The people ot Mor
gan are induatrious.and they are excel
lent farmers. The trouble is that they
adhere to the old system of large
plantations, when a less acreage, well
cultivated, would produce far better
results.
It is stated in the last issue of the
Gainesville Southron, that in the
year 1870 there were 8 bales of cots
ton sold iu Gainesville, all toid, and
that last week, considerably over
1,000 bales were purchased there,
and that Gainesville will receive 10-
000 bales this season. What a splen
did showing this is for our country,
and what a hopeful harbinger for its
future.
A similar exhibit might be made
for our own prosperous city. Truly,
there is no cause for despondency or
inaction among tlte people ot a coun
try so truitful of crops so valuable.

TOE‘EXPOSITION HOTEL.
Its Hanasemcnt Higbly Commended b; tbe
Guests.
The guests of the exposition hotel
have voluntarily issued the following
splendid testimonial to the excellence
ot the management: -
Exposition Hotel, )
Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 7th 1881. J
Presuming that a great majority of
the visitors to the exposition are en
tirely ignorant ofthefineaccommoda-
dations afforded at the new Exposi
tion hotel, kept by one of the best and
most genial landlords, Phil F Brown,
we, his guests, would call their atten
tion to the fact, and suggest the pros
priety of a visit at the first opportuni
ty that they may familiarize them
selves with thejeapacious hotel and its
many attractive features. We are
convinced that many would remain its
permanent guests while in Atlanta.
Many of his patrons have been
at tbe hotel since it was first opened
and their opinion based on actual facts J
warrants tbe assertion that no table
can surpass it in variety and* quality.
All the conveniences requisite to make
a visit agreeable are at the disposal oi
or are furnished to the guists: Visi
tors will find all the oomlerts of home
at reasonable prices. We therefore,
who know whereof we speak, would
invite^ in behalf of the proprietor,
strangers and residents to visit the
Exposition hotel and see for them
selves what we know for a fact—that
Brown knows how to keep a hotel
and that he is worthy of liberal sup
port and patronage.
