Hook & Smith, 53 PEACHTREE ST. , •CU8 , ATLANTA, GA.,3 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. Observing men are of the -opinion that an ordinary dog—and he is al ways hongry—will eat and destroy in a twelvemonth, the equivalent of that which, if given to a well-bred pig, would make him weigh, at the expiration ot that time, 300 pounds grass. 286,000 snch pigs would ag gregate 85,800,000 ppunds of pork,- now worth at the home - shipping station, more than $4,700,000; re quiring to transport them more than 2,860 cars, carrying fifteen tons each, oil a train more than sixteen;,gules This would represent nearly i,000 more than, the entire amount pud in the State in 1880, for school, township and State taxes combined ; it would build 9,400 school houses and churches, worth $500 each, or would pay the average wages of 14,000 echo'd teachers, twice the number now employed.' A' Edition of affaire; of whieh the iclvd is but a poor oatKbe, is at the jttOtn of whatis each year becoming a greater and more irrepressible con flict between the wool growers and tbe sayage brutes that keep in jeop ardy, or destroy the flocks that, pro tected would enlarge and increase to the extent of producing the wool for which we now send so many mil* liens across the seas. It the dogs are .maintained as a luxury, they are a lux ury we cannot afford, aqd shotild 'giVtf way to something less expensive, and less productive of loss ana misery. A well known western agriculturist lost $300 wbnh of sheep by them: in one night, and in another $250 worth, and says : Towa would hive, to-day, $10,000,000 worth of property' within her borders, that she does not have, only for dogs; and the fanners are the veriest fools in the world tor allowing Mr. Newt: Seymour,of Griffin, died on Saturday in that city. He was formerly ot Macon. The state of Georgia has forty cot ton mills, nnd they pay from 8 to 25 per cent net on the capital investment. In ’70 Georgia, Alabama, Missis sippi and Tennessee employed 5,890 perrons in .their mills ; in *80 they had 11,788 hands employed.

An exchange says: ‘Atlanta is the Chicago of tbe South.’ This is the hardest blow that Atlanta has re ceived since Gen. Sherman knocked at her door. Stage robbers are in demand in Texas.

Gn.LELA.3D, Clerk. 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. Counties.

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.
