Our columns have been burthoned,
for the last two number. o , wi.h matter
pertaining to the Hulhcrt excursion,
and only wish now to call the attention
of our readers to a table of distances as
furnished by Col. Hulbcrt, in a speech
beforo the Press, showing the advanta
ges that other proposed roads have over
the Stato RiaJ, and to givo our opinion
as to the reason why the excursion was
gotten up
It is said by many that it was a po
litical trick, aud that it was well played
and has won. We do not so believe,
but, to the contrary, think that tho in
terest of the road and of the State
prompted Col. H. to make the move,
and think that his efforts will meet with
success, to some degree.
As has been said by a majority of tho
representatives of the Press, politics was
ignored for the time, and the efforts of
him who had us in charge, was to direct
the attention of the Press to the hidden
treasures of tho State and to show that
in the development of these resources
it would boos groat interest to the State
Road and to the State at large. We
would call the attention of the read. rs
to the Shelby Iron Worts,* o show what
advantage these work- are to the Selma,
Rome & Dalton R. It. These works
give to said road from 1G to 20 tons of
freight daily, and will, in a short time,
givo much more. Besides this, they
pay tax on two huudred and fifty-thous
and dollars, which is almost a clear gain
to the State of Alabama, as the value of
the land, before the establishing of said
works, was, perhaps, less than one
thousand and jllars.
Every Georgian should want the min
eral beds of Georgia developed, as the
result would be the same to her road
and to the increase of taxable property.
Whether or not this Press Excursion
will tend to call the attention of capital
ists to these rich beds of ore and aid in
developing them, is a question of time,
We aro disposed to give Col. Ilulbert
credit for trying to do something, wheth
er he succeeds or not. Ilis opinions of
the power of the Press may be over
wrought, and bis efforts may full to the
ground fruitless ; if so, the Slate is not
much the looser, as we were the guests
of others tw -ihirds of tho time we were
out. If, however, the Col. wanted to
make politioal capital out of the affair)
we simply say he ha3 failed.

We are pleased to seo that Savannah
is taking tho position she is entitled to.
There is no reason why goods of all
olwses, foreign and domestic, should
not be sold as low in Savannah as in
New York, The great trouble to over
come, with the country merchants, is the
name of having bought goods in New
York. Will not eur merchants give
the wholesale dealers of Savannah a tri

I'rodurlioit of CoHon-Do Wc
Want Chinamen?
“Quid Nunc,” a correspondent of
the Savannah Republican, writing on
the above subject, says :
The production of cotton is a sub
ject at tho present time that interests
I the inhabitants of the world, we might
| say. At all events it interests the civ
| ilized commercial inhabitants of the
world more, perhaps, than the pro
! dilution of any other product. Europe
*is looking to the production of cotton
to keep her myriads quiet, fed and
'clothed. This country looks to the
'production of cotton to supply ex
change, to support - importations, and
■ (ho New England manufacturing mon- :
opolies ; while the South, the legiti- j
j mate cotton zone, is looking to tho pro !
duetion of cotton to restore her lost for
tunes. And the question fairly arises
here, how is this to be done ? The
i present available labor for tho cotton !
| field is not over 600,000 hands, and it j
j will not do to count on a production of
! over four bales of cotton to the hand,
jor 2 400,000 bales. Before tho war
the production ran up in round num
; bers to, say, 5,000,000 bales of 450
lbs., and the average ptico was about
! eight cents a pound, or S3G a bale.—
At this estimate the value of the crop
was $180,000,000. In 18G9, tho year
that has just closed, let us call the crop
2,500,000 bales of 450 lbs each, end
j tho price twenty-five cents; this will
J give a product of $2Bl 250,000, and
show conclusively to all that will in
vestigate the subject, that a production
!of 2 500,000 bales will realize to the
producers more titan a crop of double
the number of bales of cotton would
formerly. The demand ant l supply
governs the price of all products. A
crop of 2,500,000 bales of cotton fur
nishes a supply that keeps prices at a
high standard, and confines the con
sumption to certain limits. A crop of
5,000,000 bales keeps all the machine
ry at work to its capacity, and throws
such quantities of goods into the mar
ket until prices, both for the raw mate
ria! ar and the manufactured articles, runs
down very low; and this is what the
European and the New Englander
want to keep their people at work and
quiet. If tho Southern people w ithout
proper reflection rush forward and
bring Chinamen into the cott- n fields,
supply the deficiency ot labor that the
Yankees has destroyed, aud again pro
duce 5,000,000 bales of cotton, they
will be rewarded with eight cents a
pound or $180,000,000 lor their crop;
when, if they will be satisfied with tho
present supply ot labor, the price will
not probably go below twenty-five
cents and the product be $281,250,000
—oue hundred 'and one million two
hundred and fifty thousand dollars
more than has been produced with a
crop of 5,000,000 bales. (Some plant
ers may say, however, that tbo quunti
ty produced will not affect thq price,
and the more we produce the more
money we will receive. This is a de
lusion, and we have now experience
that teaches the fact. Look back at
the crop of 18G0, 5,000,000 bales, with
a product of $180,000,000 then at the
crop of ISG9 with a product of $231,-
250,000, and then answer the question,
whether it is better to produce a large
crop or a small one. The people of
the South have the control of this mat
ter.
Great Britain has encouraged India
to increase the production of cotton,
"and in 18GG, when tho largest produc
tion that has ever been made in ono
year in that country was made, a fam
ine spread lar and w ide over that land,
and taught that people a lesson that
they will not soon forget.
The of tho population in
this country is to increase naturally
and by immigration. The cotton plan
ters will promote their .nterest if Ihev
will keep the production ol cotton
down to such a point as will at least
secure twenty-five cents a pound for
the mateiia).
Ibe New England people, with
their unjust exactions, so.ved the seeds
of the war, and by that means have
converted the value of the 4,000,000 of
slaves into United States bonds, the
most of which they have, and now
want the Southerners with the negroes
they have freed to make cotton to pay
the interest in gold, and to import Chi
namen and increase the production of
cottcn* so that all the machinery that
is up may be kept busy and more es
tablished.
The Southern people have been
dupes; they have beeu led by unre
flecting nincompoops into ruin. If
the signs of the times are not a failure,
the people, the intelligent working peo
ple, are about to take tho management
| of things into their own hands and
! teach these nincompoops their true
position, and the New England bond
holders that “all that glitters is not
' gold.”
The Southern man’s property has
! been converted into goverument bonds
I and locked up iD Northern vaults.—
i The cotton planters are looked to to
produce cotton to pay tho interest on
| their ill-gotten gains. It is hoped and
| believed, however, that the people will
cast off Southern imbecility and North
• ern avarice, look to the intelligence of
the laboring classes for guidance, and
to their own strong arms for protec
tion, and leave the Chinamen at home-
Can it bo ignorance or design that
has heretofore deluded this intelligent
people, or has it been a quasi consent
that assuming persons might control ?
Whatever has been the reason, let us
' look at the result: Our rulers meet,
concoct and nnacl laws that require
the best talent of the land to tell what
they mean, and even judges cannot
interpret the'r enacted laws so that
they agree.with each other. And
these productions are from what is
called tho “collective wisdom” of the
| nation. Away with such wisdom !
! The true interpretation of it is rascality,
and it is this wisdom which is urging
the importation of Chinamen. We
want none of them ; and in this opin-
1 1° :1 *ve think that the reflecting, Intel,
ligent and industrious working people
of tbo South will agree with
Quid Nunc.
Negro Office Holding.
Aq instance of its beauties is given
in the Charleston News of the Gb. It
appears a white man, a planter, by the
name of Smith, bad given somo offense,
what is uot known, to a negro magistrate
by the name of Logan, on Wednesday
:as‘. F >ur negroes, armed to the teeth,
arrested Mr Smith and took him b.fore
LogaD, who was nind miles cff.
A NEORO MAGISTRATE.
Whcu L>gan had finished his break
fast, ho went into the room where Mr.
Smith was.
Logan (to Mr. Smith). “TakcyOur
hat off.”
Mr Smith. “You have not opened
your court, and there is no necessity to
do what you say.”
Logan (■'avsgely). “You had bet
ter.”
Some time passed and Logan gave no
sign of heuriug the case. Mr. Smith
then told Logan that he would waive
au examination, and give bail to appear
for trial. Login replied that he would
not take bail, aud would examine the
case himself. There was nothing to do
but await tho pleasure of this negro
magistrite, and several hours later the
prosecutrix, Hannah Deveaux, came.—
Logan then opened a book, read a state,
meut previously made by the proseou
trix, and asked her whether that was
what she swore to. Os course she said I
yes, the charge being assault and bat
tery. Logan noxt asked Mr; Smith if
he had auy witnesses. Mr. Smith said j
that whenever the case was properly
heard, so that he might know the evi- j
d*nce and cross-examine the witnesses, '
he wou'd give his testimony.
Looan. “Have you anything to
say ?”
Mu. Smith. “Not until I hear the
evidence against me.”
Logan. “If you don’t answer I will
commit you if I see fit. Will you an
swer, I say ? Do you decline to give
evidence
Smith. “Yes, except under proper
circumstances.”
Logan. “Then I find you guilty of
assault anti battery.”
4 COMMITTED FOR CONTEMPT.
It was Logan’s evident desire to send
Mr. Smith to jail, but he promptly gave
bail. When the recognizances were
signed, Logan said to Mr. Smith, “7 will
commit you to jail for contempt of
court.” Logan drew up tho commit
ment, imposing a fine of $lO and 24
hours’imprisonmcqt. Mr. Smith asked
to be allowed to get a change of cloth
ing. This was refused, aud the prisoner
was brought to Charleston and carried
to j ail by Logan’s negre guard. Mr.
Smith at once sued out a warrant against
Logan for falre imprisonment and offi
cial misconduct, and the ease will be
heard on Wednesday.
conclusion.
Mark well the circumstances! A
negro magistrate arrests a Northern
white man, allows him no opportunity of
hearing the evidence against him, finds
him guilty, and then sends him to jaij
for “contempt cf court.” What t’.ris,
“contempt” was, we do not know. Tho 1
only crime that Mr. Smith committed,
that we see, is that he did not t-kc off
his hat until the eourt opened. Aud for
this, twenty-four hours in jail and $lO
fine !! ! Mr. Smith is a Northern man
and is highly esteemed by his neigh
bors.
When a man has feathered his nest
you will generally find that he also
plumes himself upon it flow true is
it, therefore, that riches gjte unto
themselves wings.

LOW A8 ANY OTHER WAREHOUSE n Dirvson.
Diwson, (4a, July 22;3m
To day, I re-oprn my Warehouse and Store, and am ready to receive Cotton»«
supply yu with anything in the Provision and Grocery line, and would be piexw
to roe dve, at least, a portion of your patronage, during the coming sea9oo. I®
satisfied that I can make it to your interest to pa rpuiza me. The following*! l
some of the advantages of my Warehouse :
I have the largest Warehouse in Dawson, having over 400 feet of shed n*
mostly new.
It is entirely separa’el from all ether buildings, and is therefore less iiablt*
destruction by fire than any other Warehouse, which will save the trouble and® |
pense of insuring. If, however, the planters desire it, I can have their cotton» i
sured, at a less rate of insurance than any other Warehouse, in the place
My sheds are in low, moist places, an i cotton, stored several months, oflcnj* l
in weight, instead of losing, as is tho case in other Warehouses.
I have secured a whole block, on tho opposite side of the street, for a »*?’ J
lot, where stock will be perfectly secure, it being well fenced. I wi‘l soonk* 1 j
bouses erected on said lot, with cbimaeys, where those of my patrons, who ten* |
all night, can make themselves almost, as comfortable as at, borne, freo cf charg
I will keep on hand a large supply of Rigging, Rope and Ties, which I *fa
sell, for a commission, at Macon prices. Will sell to my customers, at cash p j
ccs, and wait on them till they sell cotton. Will keep all k’nils of Provisif ■
Groceries, Cooking Sioves, Sewing Machines, &c., &o , which I will sed at
small pr fit. \\ ill have plenty of money to advance on cotton iu store, erf
to my Factors in Macon, Savannah, ILltiraore, N> w York, or Liverpool. M
"I am Agent for the sale of several of the best. Fertil z-rs now in use, am -T |
to keep a good supply of them ou hand during the wmter. Will furnish then®*
my patrons, as they haul ilieir ootton, and wait for the mouey till they sell
cotton, which will save the time, trouble and expense of hauling them iu ll |t, ! l | j
after they have commenead their crops, . MM
W ill have competent clerks in tho office and store room, and sufficent *><l N 11
yurd. \\ ill attend to receiving, weighing, storing, sampling, silling, aoJ fJi H
ping cotton tnyself a tM
To those who favored me with tbeir patronage last season, I return mjj ,1
thanks, and to those who feel disposed to give me a trial during the cnniinp i
son, I extend a friendly greeting, and promise to them all mv efforts in th® ,r j
