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. Superior Court met on Momlav last, his Honor. A. H. Hansell, presiding.

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. Suud‘Mercury. , -•*- 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. ; o—i* —— Statistics of marriage in Ohio, since 18(56, show a remarkable decline in mati i i inony. According to the published figures of each year, since 1866 it is shown that in that year there was one marriage to < veiy eighty-two of. population. In 1673 tl o ' popu ation was one marriage to ono hun i drccl and eighteen of the population. THL.Lb.itAPa.IC 3TE.U(s. KEi'tFTliW IN OCHA. Nffw York, May t>.

So far as regards the j improvement of national thoroughfares, the const itutioiml powers of the Govern ment have long been admitted.

Not only is it, to a great extent, imavuila-1 die for the purpose of foreign commerce; not only is it sun ruefully defective even for j die purposes of domv.‘!:tie iraiuc, but it is j j-.i-rpctual menace to the entire low count ry | through which it passes. The present deplorable condition of upwards of a h mid h and t housand people.with the r 8 -0,000,000 i worth of land Hulnnerged in Douisftna, to way nolliiiigof Afissiasippi and Arkansas, is m(‘rely the renewal of old tragedies, which in any future yearn are liable to be reproduced. The sweeping of food sup plies into the sea, the destruction of pro perty necessary to the subsisUuice and j 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 ing up of homes and the dispersion of 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.
