The purposes of this organization as we
have always understood them, was to sa
credly embalm anti perpetuate in memory
not only the cause that was so dear to us
but the he rot's that suffered and died for
that cause. It was the object and design
of the leiniM drigiuhturs of' this Associa
tion and who sacredly characterized it us
memorial to make not only sacred but
classic the ground where the soldier sleeps,
and their efforts have been crowned with
success. And while their own kured ones
ure far away in other cemeteries and
stranger soldier boys fdet p in theirs, they
commemorate the death of their own by
the care and gentle offices to those en
trusted to them. Therefore when we take
care of the graves entrusted to us we may
feel assured that gentle hands in other
countries are tukiug care of our friends.
And by these mutual actions and offices of
love, the soldier, though his name is not
written in history, his dcutli is commemo
rated, his deeds and the cause m which he
died is remembered which gives him a
home in the hearts of the living and au
immortality of fame far more sacred than
that penned by the historian. These are
some of the objects for which memorial
association were organized. Our Society
at Quitman luis other and different objects,
therefore we think it is misnamed. We
will not say that their object and purposes
are less sacred, and that their acts are less
creditable and commendable. But we dr
say it ought, and we believe does possess
virtue sufficient to characterize it wi.hu
name differing as much iu its sound as its
objects and purposes differ from the ob
jects and purposes of the true memorial
associations. We have given the object of
the original memorial associations and if
onrs have a different purpose in its organi
zation it should have a different name,
truly characteristic of itse f. Qjii’ Society
lias given three or four memorial festivals,
ostensibly for the purpose of raising
money to beautify the soldiers graves, and
have raised as many hundred dollars, not
one, nay, not one farthing of which .has
been expended upon the soldiers* graves
-—but it has been and is being applied to
the fencing of the old cemetery; enclosing
the citizen dead, and in the pur dmee and
fencing of additional grounds for the fu
ture interment of the now living ciU/n.-ns,
This is not the :acnmrnd• va.chine prac
ticed in other secti >ns of the country.
But we must do justice to the Society here
, for in running the; fence between the
■white and the colored dead in the oid
cemetery, they do enclose some of the
soldiers'graves, leaving others out with
the colored dead, txposid t> the rude
tramp of the beasts as they have been for
ten years. It may be riglit to obtain
money in the name of the Soldiers’ Me
morial Society and apply it to the pur
chasing and enclosing a Quitman ccme
tary, but we are incapable of discovering
the correctness of the principle. We
think that the citizens ought to have suf j
fieient pride to build a cemetery and take '
care of their own dead; and when the
stranger contributes his money to the !
Soldiers’ Memorial Association it is but
acting in good faith to the living and the
dead that it should he applied to the pur
poses for which it was given, viz: the
preserving and beautifying tlio soldiers
graves, and perpetuating in memory, tin
deeds and sacrifices of the lost o And
if the money thus obtained can not thus
be applied in the name of memorial sa
credness, let the present organization as
sume its appropriate name and let anew
society be formed to carry out the origi- j
ji.-U design of the memorial association.
We do not reflect upon the ladies of
Quitman for w hat they have done in im
proving the cemetery, their efforts are
■ highly creditable. Jiut we do think it is
■wrong in the extreme to desecrate menu -
rial sac red ness to obtain money for that
purpose.
The Wrltiur Anil The Crop*,
The beating rains and the cold days and
nights of the last three weeks has greatly
injured the cotton crop, a great deal of
cotton is| dying, so that good stands will
rarely be fonnd. The oat crop in many
places is ruined. Corn has been consider
ably stinted, but a few warm days will res
tore that. On Saturday niglit, Sunday
and Monday, it rained in destructive tor
rents, to the great injury of the crops, to
tally inundating flat and low lands. The
water courses are very high, and only at
the best an shallowest fords can the
smallest streams be crossed.

The Financial Issue Before the Ciuntry,
and tlio Duty of Congress.
Those in. Con givi-s who oh siren sound
ouvri iu-y and to an amount sufficient to |
nuvt the wants of the country, must be
exceedingly curefill lest they he deceived !
into puosifig uu antagonistic measure.
I’iio money monopolist urea wily set ol
sharks, and eapidile of contriving some j
scheme that would work contraction of.
the currency, while appeaivutiy prov d.ng j
for an increase. The fear was quite preva- i
lent, and some what ligilimate, that the I
Semite bill, vetoed by the President,
might really be a measure in favor of eon- ■
'lrftetion, and that aueh .would have been
itseffeet. This may have been so or not, j
as regards that'bill; ut- any rate, the very
possibility that such fears could he enter- ;
tnined shows the necessity of the utmost
vigilance. What the people want is a '
larger vobinip of money iu circulation j
than wo now 1 have. The argument has
been repeated time and again, until it is as |
familiar to ftll us the land's Pruye-, that
Cue, country lias so rapidly expanded in
poptilaiion, commerce, and wealth, that
more than twice the amount-of currency
is neCss.iry to c-atty on our dojne t o busi
ness than ten or fifteen yeurs ago. It is
the duty of wise hgislaton, to reeogni/e
this undeniable fuel and act accordingly.
It'is {feh'ohmy believed that u gi inline
free-bunking system, on the plan of the
Nett York iSttitobuuk system, would prove :
a sqre retnedy. It is itinloubtodly tine
tl'nit the national bank monopoly has grown j
too poxvei-fnl for the gotal of tt.e country.
Jl has seated itself in all high places, and
controls Ihe entire machinery of the Gov
ernment. It dictates its* own terms, and
visits all .opposition with reproach and
punishment. Like the railroad monopoly, j
it Ims in its pay the ablest minds in the ;
laud, mid knows no limit to its unserupu
loilsness iu the use of means to secure its
ends. It. now liqs complete and exclusive
control of the iuor.cy-uu.rket of the coun
trv, and may, by coueentrated action, :
produce a panic at any moment. The 1
nominal chief of this vast nnmopoly, the
('.oniptioHer of the Gurrenev at Washing •
tou, is almost powerless against it, if the
lmnksure determined to lesisi him; while,
on the other hand, lie must needs find it
in Ilia interest to agree with the banks.
I'nder this state of things, a safe counter- 1
poise is required to restore the fimtneml
equilibrium. The Treasury issue of iegnl
teudor notes or greenbacks, in contiadis
tiuction to national banks and their notes,
is |iu siteli chunk or ctiunteiqmmc. These
very treasury notes and tlieir'issue are;
m n o or less regulatdcd by the hank s then
- through the Comptroller, through
the entire Treasury Department, and
thriwigh intofesiod members of Congress.
But a system of free bunks- independent
as it were, of Congress and the Federal
Government -localized by Btute. laws, and
their paper money aecin ed by bonds. |
either State'or Federal, would at once raise j
up a rival power lo the,national bank Mo
loch, and restore that i quality so useful j
and necessary between the. various film: -
j cial forces in the Government. Why
should there Vie any national banks at all ? j
They have proved rattier expensive to the
! people, who pay them five am! six per
; cent. interest., in additioff to the profita
ble privilege of being allowed to use the
public credit us their banking capital.
This interest, amounting to ov< r .::20,000,-
000 a year, could bo su\, and by m b iitutiog ,
; greenbacks for niitiomd b nU notes, and
Met bunking throughout the States be as
! free ns it, stiould be, and as trade is in
general. The hobby of a specie 1.-asia for
paper money, of liuai'ditig coin to be able
in a short lime to reilei in all our currency, 1
: dollar for dollar, in gold, is a fallacy, and
j ims already fktne g)'; at in; aliiei. The
mole people think aid tea in on t!;e sub
ject the ico.'c; are they e-onvin ed that to
1 loiee resumption of specie paiyiilenls by
e ..tr . .iug tos -u ~n y would bring total
, riiiu upon ink
.But few niurchants tio banks nor sav
ings institutes, could stand the strain,
.ill values would shrink at. otn-e by- at
least fifty per cent., and the total lost; to
thivoouiitry, on a property valuation of
Sit),ooo,Out),(X)o, would lie nt the lowest in ;
the neighborhood of
enough to Imnkrnpit every indiistiy, and is |
certainly too high a price to pay for re
i Hiimptioti. Those who in spite of this
truth still clamor for contraction nud a
speedy return to specie payments, are
either mere theorists, or men wtiospeci -
j late selfishly upon the general ruin of tin ir
j fellow-citizens in the hope of gain for ■
: themselves. These are the men who cry
, for contraction, that there may bo less
j money in circulation, so that higher and
1 still more usurious prices could be
! charged for its use. The welfare of the
' people points in the opposite direction.
; All violent changes in the currency of the ]
j country are mischievous, and bring about i
Inns fill financial commotion. We might
1 well take the example of* England, where
specie payments " ere suspended in 17J7.
A partial resumption followed not until;
, lfiiit, but it was not fully -accomplished j
until 1827. This gradual progress, lasting
through thirty years, was not a w hit too
'slow for England, and the. United Stales
might go slower yet. This seems to be ,
the only rational course to follow. \Siih
all increase of greenbacks to substitute
for national bank notes, mid a free bunk
ing system, we can well await, as the Eng
lish did in their day, the regular shaping
of events in their course, without, apply
ing auy unnatural pressure to force things j
out of their season. Hothouse plants arc ;
never so healthy us those of slower growth j
in the free air of nature, and Congress
should beware of introducing the liothou e
practice into our finance system. ~-Y. i.

A Singular Tradition.
Among the Seminole Indians there is a •
singular tradition regarding the white j
man's origin and superiority. They sav j
that when the Great spirit made the earth
lie also made three men, all of whom were
fair complexioned; and that after making i
I them He. led them to the margin of it
small lake, and bade them leap in and
wash. One obeyed, anil came out of the
: water purer than before, the second hesi
tated a, moment, during which time the.
; water muddied, and when he bathed lie |
j came up copper-colored; the. third did not j
leap until the water became black with ■
\ mad, then the Great Spirit; laid before
i them three packages, and out of pity for
i his misfortune in color, he gave the black
man first choice. He took hold of each
6f the packages and having felt the weight;
| chose the next heaviest leaving the white j
man the lightest. When the packages
were open, the first was found to contain
i spades, hoes and all the implements of j
labor; the second enwrapped hunting
fishing and warlike apparatus; the third;
gave the white man pens, ink mid paper, :
j the engines of the mind—the means of I
j mutual, mental improvement the social
! link of humanity, the foundation of the
; white man's superiority. ;

labor of the. inhabitants, the inundation of |
fertile lands, first with a fathom depth of i
water, and the with a clay alluvium from
six inches to a foot or two deep, the break

valuable producers under the spur of hun
ger and danger- all this is not, a local but
a national calamity. These sections by
reason of these misfortunes are not able to
produce what other sections have to sell.
That region, moreoyer, is not surpassed
in its capacity to contribute to the national
wealth by any like number of square miles
in the United States. Its adaptations are
singularly diversified, but of one article,
and that ranking in importance second to
none, it. is capable of furnishing the whole
United States with an abundant supply.
