Savannah, Ga., May 7th, 1867,
The recent fires in lliillsily having proved to our
entire satisfaction, by a thorough test, the superi
ority of IRON BANDS for haling purposes, we
strongly recommend them to the use of the Plant
ers of Georgia hh an efficient agent in restricting
loss by fire; and we ngree to discriminate, when
practicable, in favor of t’otton thus secured.

nml holding a long stick, tipped with gold
at cncliemV, in tlie other. TheSnltmi’senr
riage Imre no less than four loot men, who
mutually upheld ouch other. Some were
enveloped in lung crimson cloaks, with
capes, some wore erittlRon plush breeches,
mul tlie calves ol nearly all were encased ill
silk Blockings, and their heads were liewigg-
etl and bcpAwdcrcd in tlie most fantastic
fashion. Altogether tlie spectacle was bril
liant and limiising—a show to delight chil
dren, and lo ama/o men win. are given to
habits of reflecting upon tlie cnl iiono of
things. -This gay procession,containing tlie
creme de la creme ol Kuglnud's titled and
privileged elnsses, lutil to pass through n
dense double row ot the oi polio!, who oc
cupied every inch oftlie way from Ilnekiiig-
liam Palace to the Guildhall. And tliov
had a tlno opportunity to review t lie “upper
," ol wiiinli they themselves mo tho
scorched nnd cindered “under." It wits mi
interesting study—those live hundred thou
sand pairs of eyes, all intently peering into
the carriages and faces of peers, pccrcsBcs,
and princes, some with openod-inoiitbed
wonder at thu rich and glittering toilettesof
the ladies and tlie gay and spnrkling uni
forms of the gentlemen. Hut tliere were
not, a few in those long jutlnan hedgerows
that glared contemptuously, if not at the
rich voluptuaries lounging in tlielr car
riages, at the pampered menials riding be
hind, in all the pomp and plenitude ol
Phinkeydom. It took nt least four tlions-
mul drivers and footmen to convey their
llireo thousand musters and mistresses to
the great city fete, mul every one of tlieso
“ornaments of llio aristocracy" was got 11(1
nt an expense tli.it would support a poor
man's family Imlfn year. Is it strange that
one should overhear, in thu midst of this in
congruous crowd of tho ill-favored masses
—many of whom were ragged, ImtlcBS, shoe
less, and penniless—growls of discontent at
the vast difference oi eoiuli'ion between the
upper and the lower crusts of Knghitid t—
Is it very surprising that the subterranean
democracy ol J.ominn, who constitute two-
thirds of its population, should look ii)ion
these flaunting disptnysbf Fluukeydom with
feelings ol envy mm discontent V They ti
Q_EX0mB or
nrnlly ask where all this superfluity oi rich
es conies from llmt is so foolishly wasted 011
tho wigs nnd velvets of Uolgruvinn domes
tics, in order to tickle the vnnity ol nil acci
dental nobility—for no man selects his pa
rentage—nml they look at tlielr own hard
hnmjs and soiled garments, and contrast
them with tlie dainty kids nnd inees of tiie
mounted lootinmi, who looks so insolently
proud to ride, or strut, behind his lord nud
master. These toiling, hnlf.stnrvcd/mnBscs
have dangerous thoughts pressed into them
by such flummery exhibitions of Vanity
Fair.
A nobility exists everywhere, whether ti
tled or not—a nobility of person, ot tnlcnt,
of cultivation, nnd of honor. The world is
compelled to recogni^o nud,respect it; hut
it does not always ride in carriages, or sloop
in palaces, or get tickets to royal banquets.
These are social accidents nnd privileges re
served for the bnrored tow, who nre Mossed
with w’lint the world calls success—success
in their births and in thoir fortunes. “Why
do you always espouse a losing cause
writes a pious friem} to us from America.—
“You espoused tho cause of the South and
lost; yon espoused the cause of Maximiilian
and lost; you avc now advocating tlie poli
cy of President Johnson and you will lose.
Now, let ino entreat you to espouse the
cause of Christ nnd you will he suro to win.”
To which we beg to.say that, according to
our kind correspondent’s idea of “success”
nnd “failure,” Christ hiusolf wus 11 fail 11 re.
He was so poor “that hq had not whereto
lay his head;" amt BO devoted to tlie cause
of universal truth, that the ltoiumi ruler of
Jerusalem put him tp death in tho prime of
life. Thors is a sense, parodoxicnl as it, may
sootn, In which nppareut lailnrc is tho most
enduring success. The seed sown iu tho
ground must seemingly fail helore it can
blossom in beauty and multiply in trait. To

flush upon the strawlierry bn the end of tlie
old free-liver’s nose, that Simon Wheeler’s
memory wus busy with tlie olden times.—
Ami so I prepared to leave, because nil these
were symptoms ol a reminisenen—signs that
lie was going to lie delivered of another of
his tiresome personal experiences—but I
was too slow; be got. the start of me. As
nearly as I can recollect, the infliction was
crouched in the following language:
“\Vo was all hoys then, and didn't rare
for nothing only to shirk school nud keep
lip a revivin’ slate of devilment all the time.
'This yah Jim Wolfe 1 was talking nbout
was Ilie ’prentice, nnd he wus the best heart-
eil feller, he was, and most forgivlif and on-
sclllsh I ever see—well, there couldn't he a
more bnllier hoy Ilian what he was, take lilm
as you would ; ami sorry enough 1 was when
I see him for the last tune.
“.Me ami Ilenry was always pestering
him and plastering boss bills on Ids hack
and putting bumble bees in Ills lied, nml so
on, and sometimes wo’d crowd in and hunk
with him, iiiuThstanding his growling, nud
then we’d let on to get mail nnd fight itornst
him, so ns to keep tun stirred up like. He
was nineteen, he wits, mid long, nnd lank,
tuid bashful, nnd wo was fifteen nnd sixteen
nml tolerably ln/.y anil worthless.
“So that night, you know, that my sister
Mary give tho candy pullin’, they started
us oft’ to hod early, so ns tho comnnny cottlil
have full swing, mul wo wrung in on Jim to
have same fan.
“Our window looked out onto the rool of
tlie ell, and about ton o’clock a couple of old
tom ents got to farin' mul chargin’ around
oil it, nnd cm rvin’ on like sin. Tliere wor
four inches of snow on tho roof, mul it was
tl'o/,0 so there ‘wnB a right smart crust of ico
on it, and tho moon was shining bright, nnd
wo could seo them eats like daylight. First,
they’d stand oil', mul nyn c-yow-yow-yow,
just tho same as if they was a cnssln’ olio
another, you know, mid how up thoir hacks
and bush up tlielr lulls, and swell around
nud spit, nml thou all of a sudden tlie gray
cat he’d snatch n handful offtirofl'theyaller
cut’s ham, mid spin him mound, like tho
button on n barn door. Hut tho yniler cat
was game, and he’d ooniu and clinch, mul
the way they’d gouge, mnl bile, mill Imwl,
mid thu way they’d make the fin fly was
powerful.
“Well, Jim, ho got disgusted with tho
row, mid ’loivod hcM olinib out there mid
shako ’em off’n that roof. Hu hadn’t recly
no notion ofdoiug it, likely, hut we ovorlast-
ingly dogged him ami bullyragged him, and
lowed ho d always hraggod Imw ho would-
n’t take a dare, nnd so on, till himehy ho
lusted tlio winder, mid lo nnd behold ho
wont—went exactly as he wns—nothin’ on
Imi Ids shirt, mul it wns short. Yon ought
to have seen him ! You ought to have seen
Idm a cvcepln’ over that ico, nml iliggiif his
too nails mid Unger nails in tor to keep him
from slippin’; and 'hove all, you ought to sen
that shirt a Huppin' in the wind, nml thorn
long ridieldoiia shanks a Ids’ll a glistenin’ In
the moonlight.

snow to keep cool. And they wns laughin'
