AUGUSTA, O'A.
FRIDAY MORNING, APRIL 10, 1808
FOR GOVERNOR,
GEN. JOHN B. GOBDON,
OF FULTON.
GOOD NEWS FROM CHEROKEE.
We lmve intelligence of the most cheering
character from North Georgia. The slo
gan of “Gordon and Georoia” lias gone
like wild-flre through the liite llelt ami
we, who lead a hum-drum jxditical lile m
this region, have little conception of tne
enthusiasm displayed by those concerning
whose ildelity we had some suspicion.—
Strange as it may seem, the people of North
Georgia are not only almost cn masse for
Gordon, but, the Relief trick having been
exploded, are arraying themselves in solid
phalanx against the Constitution. Judge
Irwin’s friends are concentrating against,
the Radical nominee. The Democracy have
gone into the canvass with a vim, and,
while Gov. Brown and his renegade hench
men are receiving cold comfort, Democratic
speakers are having a perfect ovation. The
popularity of Brown has passed away, and,
so distrustful is he of his own countrymen,
that a military guard is reported as danc
ing attendance upon his footsteps, to pro
tect his truly loyal person from men who
hate recreants. It is not in the nature of a
Southern man to love this apostate, when
the spotless knignt Gordon has taken the
Held and unfurled his snowy banner.
We learn, further, that the Brownites are
terribly disgruntled at the magic of Gor
don's name and the marvelous power he
has of gathering his followers to the onset.
They are resorting to chicanery and petti
fogging. Having discovered that Gordon
was even a more powerful antagonist than
Irwin, no stone lias been left unturned to
prejudice the military commander against
him and secure a declaration of ineligibili
ty. They whispered to Gen. Meade that
Gordon, being a Lieutenant-General and
unpardoned, was not a candidate in unison
witli the reconstruction act. This objec
tion was gallantly repulsed by proof that,
though in command of a corps, no commis
sion had been issued or formally received.
Failing in this effort, it was charged tiiat
our champion was delinquent on the score
of residence. This pitiful plea was founded
upon certain representations that, when
superintending some public works in North
Georgia, General Gordon had occasionally
slept in a Hut situate in ail adjoining State!
We may be sure that no attempt will re
main untried to put Him under llic ban of
Gen. Meade; but if the military comman
der has any of those noble trails which
gentlemen acquainted with him proclaim,
the harlequinades of Joseph E. Brown are
rapidly drawing to a close, and, through
the fidelity, manhood and stainless integri
ty of Gordon, he is revealed to the people
in his true colors, as a traitor, a trickster
and a dough-face.
Let us emulate, if we cannot surpass, the
entliusii/sm of OiCTokee. dgt, there* ho *
grand, universal rally around mir chosen
standard-bearer. Let us answer back the
shouts of victory resounding in the North
ern section. Let “ Goudon and Georgia !”
be the watchword and battle-cry. The
odds against us are terrible, and recreants
are many ; but the fettered limbs of the
giant are still arsenals of power, The spell
is being dissolved that blinded the eyes of
the timid and unwary. The love of princi
ple still animates the spirit of our compa
triots, and the love of Georgia burns with
new brilliance in the hearts of her children.
The torpor, the apathy and the selfishness
of the masses arc yielding to a passionate
and holy fervor. Up men, and at them !
North Georgia calls to the rescue.
“ There's Life in the Old Land Yet !”
Yes or No? —The following quest ion has
been put to Mr. Bullock :
“ Did you, as agent of the Southern Express
Company, either directly yourself, or through
any of your subordinates, furnish information
to the Federal army, or any of its officers,
against the Southern Confederacy ?”
That is a categorical question, and, if
answered at all, should be answered cate
gorically. So far, it has been begged. It
is generally believed that, under pretext of
going to Canada for his health, the Presi
dent of the Southern Express Company
abandoned the Confederacy and kept snug
quarters in Massachusetts. Did Mr. Bul
lock have any communication with the
aforesaid President relative to matters pro
gressing in this region ? Did lie furnish
any information as to the movement of
troops, etc. ? We ask, because it is popu
larly surmised that, during the years
1864-’65, our bullock was feeding upon a
dangerous plant.
Beast Butler. — Brick Pomeroy has been
visiting the ancestral home of that great
ancl good man, Ben Butler. He reproduces
the story that, the paternal ancestor of the
Beast took to piracy for a living and was
hung in chains at Cadiz. Feeling that the
sins of the fathers are visited upon their
sons, tiie Beast has gone to Congress, and
bids fair to follow in the nay of his father.
His impeachment speech was very Captain
Kiddish; so much so, that the President’s
counsel pay him the same compliment that
Pleydei.l paid to at torney Glossin :
“ That he would have made a very pretty
lawyer if he had not had such a turn for the
roguish part of the profession.”
“ Progress.” —Conservative candidates
having been fairly and squarely elected in
East Tennessee, the Commissioner of Reg
istration settled tiie matter by throwing*
out the votes of all tiie Conservative pre
cincts in tiie county, counting only those
which gave Radical majorities, in order to
declare elected all the Radical candidates.
“ Sharp and Quick.”— If Mr. Hulbert,
of the Express Company, can manage it in
any wav known to prestidigitation, we
doubt not that Bullock will have rousing
majorities. We can easily beat Bullock ;
but wno is to warrant the Superintendent
of Registration ? Would General Meade
Jlke to endorse him ?
READ IT.
Wc call upon all men to read the glo
rious tribute to Gen. Gordon from the
Montgomery Advertiser. It sends a thrill
of pride to the heart and soul of every
true Georgian, and will carry confusion to
recreants who have not lost the faculty of
blushing. After a perusal of this splendid
and deserved panegyric, based, too, upon a
text from the enemy’s camp, let us have a
biography of Bullock. Alongside the
magnificent record of Gordon, how the
Fallstaftiau Expressman would dwindle to
a lean and hungry Cassius.
Prodigious.— When a Congressman
manufactures falsehood he not only spins
the whole cloth, but declares a dividend
upon it. Alluding to the Alabama election,
Gen. Farnsworth said :
“ The negroes of Alabama had to ewiin the
Die rivers filled with floating ice in order to
exercise their right to vote.”
The New Orleans Picayune adds, in sar
castic allusion to the above :
“We understand that the day alter Lhe re
cent election in New llamshire, numbers of
God-learing Radicals were found lying dead in
the mountain roads, having had to succumb to
coup de soleil, 4 in order to exercise their right
to vote.”’
Preaching and Practice.—Chief Justice
Chase is thus reported :
u I would rather down to posterity as a
pure \nd upright Judge than as President of
the Urited States.”
Well, Judge, you had an excellent oppor
tunity ex-parte McArdle. Judge Grier lias
made his mark for posterity. So have you.
Grier will be recorded as a protester
against the gagging and overthrow of the
Supreme Court. You as a cowardly craven,
if not an abettor of shame. Fine words
butter no parsnips, Judge. You are very
apt to go down to posterity without up
rightness and without the Presidency.
Johnson’s Crime. —Wendell Phillips
lets the cat out of the bag in his paper, the
Independent. Quotli Wkndet.l, who inher
ited his immense wealth from slave-import
ing ancestors:
44 Andrew Johnson is guilty of usurpation in
undertaking to make this a White Alan's Gov
ernment."
Every man who votes tlie Radical ticket,
South or North, cries amen to this dox
ology.
Great Expectations.—Ben. Wade has
encouraged the Southern renegades by slyly
promising to make one of them a member
of his Cabinet, when lie lias one. This may
account for Joe Brown’s Zeal. If Brown
ever gets into oflioe, it would take a dozen
tenure of office bills to get him out. Pa
tience, sweet Joe, you may have to leave
Georgia, some day. How would you like a
Secretaryship under the Bcnwadese despot
ism ?
Consolatory. —While the carpet-bag
vagrants are drumming up the negroes to
the polls in the South, the friends of the
carpet-baggers send this greeting to then
black allies: “Michigan constitution de
feated. Negro Suffrage Killed it!” Michigan
has a Radical majority of 20,000. How do
you like your Yankee masters, Messrs.
Oufl'ec and Sambo V
A Whopper Somewhere.—Bullock de
nies that he took an oath to '"sfifipetfb tse |
Confederate government. The Atlanta
Opinion reiterates the charge and affirms
that, there are parties in Atlanta who were
present, when he took it. Perhaps he took
it, after the manner of Chawles Sumner—
with a slight “ mental reservation.”
Dan Rice’s Compliments.—The House
of Representatives had only fifteen members
in the High Old Court, a few days since.—
The balance had gone 1o the other show
engineered l>v Dan Rice. Dan recognized
them from the saw-dust, and congratulated
them on their good taste, remarking that
Ids show was a better one than that at the
Capitol, and far more respectable.
Inconsistent.—The Richmond Whig thus
curtly notices Order No. 51:
“ Gen. Meade’s order, published this morn
ing, will go far to confirm the suspicion gener
ally entertained that he is not a man to set a
river afire by the brilliancy of his mind.”
To set a river on tire would be “ inflam
matory.” Prithee, good friend, would you
have the General disobey his own order ?
The Milk in the Cocoanut. —lt is sug
gested by the Griffin Star that the Georgia
State Lottery committed an unpardonable
crime—it did not let the prizes run as the
Radicals wanted. Os course, the managers
have no control over the direction of the
wheel of fortune. They must be punished
for not assuming it.
Easily Explained. —The Journal ami
Messengers onders at the enormousness of the
reward offered for the apprehension of Asu
p.urn’s murderers. What does “ Governor,”
Huger care for the funds under Ills con
trol ? “ Dod rot the expense,” says Dead
Head.
Native Radicals.— Thad. Stevens’ with
is a colored woman, who was the wife of a
negro barber in Harrisonburg, from whom
Thad. stole her. Os course it is natural-he
should want his mulatto children made the
equals of white children, civilly, politically,
socially, &c., sit side by side at schools, and
all .the rest of his negro nastinesses of
Radical legislation. But why any other
man, as Governor Pierpont, for example,
whose mother and wife and daughters are
“ white” people, should desire to degrade
them and their children to the level of in
feriors, seems to us horrible treason to the
nanle and memory of his motherland an
bisnUfto his wife anti daughters—as well
as open postacy to his own race. Surely,
the educated men among the Radicals will
pause before they finally consent to and
sanction tiie infamies or this proposed con
stitution. The low, base, ignorant white
knaves may, from want of sense, turn into
negroes in order to gaiu temporary power
and pay; but why any other white man,
who is not an office seeker, should be a
Radical, is beyond our comprehension. It
is “ a fathomless profound” of folly or
knavery, or both.— Fred. News.
A Common Blunder.—ln perusing commu
nications intended for the press, and in seeking,
among onr exchanges proper food for the scis
sors, the eye is offended and the heart grieved,
not only by casual errors, but by certain classes
of blunders, constanting recurring. Oneofthe
most frequent of these is the reduplication of
the conjunction “ that.” Thus, a correspond
eut will “ regret to say that in consequence of
drought, that the corn corn crop will prove a
failure,” aud the like. And we regret to say
that from neglect of the plainest grammatical
rules, that the newspaper dialect of the English
language is beeomiug sadly corrupted.
[Mobile Heyister. !
[ From the Montgomery Advertiser.
Gen. Gordon for Governor of Georgia-
We give the following extract from the
44 Atlantic Monthly for February” for the
benefit of those at home, and at the North
who cry down the honest choice of a
soldier, by our people, as an evidence of
44 rebellious spirit
44 Complaint is made that the Southern
people have recently elected military men
to most of their local State offices. We do
ourselves a wrong in making this com
plaint. I found it almost everywhere true
in Georgia and the Carolinas that the best
citizens of to-day are the Confederate sol
diers of yesterday. Os course, in many
individual cases they are bitter and malig
nant, but, in general the good of the Union,
no less than the hope of the South, lies in
the bearing of the men who were privates
and officers in the armies of Lee and John
ston. It may not be pleasant to us to re
cognize this fact; but lam confident that we
shall make sure progress toward securing do
mestic tranquility and the general welfare ,
just in proportion as we actupon it. It should
be kept in mind that comparatively few of
those who won renown on the field were
promoters of rebellion or secession. I
count it an omen of good, when I find that
oue who bore himself gallantly as a soldier
has received preferment. We cannot afford
to quarrel on this ground; for, though
their courage was for our wounding, their
valor was the valor of Americans.”
The WTiter in the Atlantic Monthly is evi
dently a Radical of the “straitest sect,”
and yet he has the sagacity to perceive, and
the courage to announce an opinion which,
while eminently just, is extremely unpop
ular in portions of the North.
We commend this writer’s words, par
ticularly to organs at home, which try to
frown down, with the cry of 44 rebel’”
every community which has recognized
the truth.
Many so-called “Unionists” in Georgia
raise their hands in holy horror at the idea
of a Gorgia soldier’s being elected Gover
nor. To them, it is The “rebellion” reas
serting itself. To some honest souls at the
North it seems u 44 needless flying in the
face of public opinion.”
Gen. John B. Gordon, the Conservative
candidate for Governor of Georgia, was
born in Upson county, Ga., in 1832, grad
uated with distinction at Athens, Ga., and
at the breaking out of the war was passing
life happily and peaceably with His accom
plished family in Jackson county, Alabama.
His caree* 4 since then is familiar to our
readers. First Major, then Colonel of the
6th Alabama, he reflected immortal glory
on Alabama at Seven Pines and Malvern
Hill. Next, torn shot "by shot, at Sharps-
Imrir, he held, wit h Roman heroism, the
position assigned him, and left the field
streaming with blood from five different
wounds—made brigadier general on His re
covery, he was assigned to the command
of Lawton’s brigade. Marye’s Heights re
taken from Sedwick was his next achieve
ment. Next, we 11 nd him in the Valley in
’63. At Gettysburg this born soldier broke
Barlow’s division into fragments, and was
about taking “Cemetery Heights.” Earn
est in his advocacy of the movement, lie
saw his troops recalled with grief. Had
“ Cemetery Heights been taken, there would
have been’ no Gettysburg.” Next we find
him in the peaceful camps along the
Rapidan. Soldier and Christian, he here
strengthened in Hie hearts of his men, that
always idolatrous love which made him
able to hold them in the very jaws of death
almost without effort. In the Wilderness,
May htli, his daring charge saved the day.
Headlong, and yet cautious, he dashed
upon the foe. Next, day his supreme mili
tary genius told him when and where to
strike, and late in the evening, after entrea-
ty and persistence, he was allowed to make
a movement which well nigh ruined Grant’s
right. Two brigadier generals, over one
thousand prisoners, and many slain, told
his success.
When heaven and earth seemed to be
awed by the struggle in the wierd wilder
ness of Spottsylvania, he rode calmly
amidst the storm of war, guided by the un
erring hand of fate. Hancock had shat tea.
«i the centre, anil the* o^"tforfbO’i|W
Virginia, and the fate of the South hung
upon a slender thread. In the confusion
and blackness of night Gordon handled Ills
division; with a soldierly instinct atid
judgment he struck back a magnificent
blow, on those points, which his genius
told him were weak. No wonder he was
made Major General on tiie field.
In all 1 lie conflicts of the campaign,
from Richmond to Lynchburg and tloiViU
the Valley, his star was still in the ascend
ant, At Monocacy, with one division, he
shattered Wallace’s command,and won im
mortal honors. In all the succeeding
struggles in the valley his name shone
bright ’midst darkness and disaster. On
the tilth of October, at Cedar creek, for a
time lie was allowed full scope lo his ge
nius, and a command entrusted him com
mensurate with his ability. The slaughter
and utter rout of most of Sheridan’s army
at test the brilliancy of his plans and the
ability with which he commanded, and had
not his orders been countermanded, “ Ce
dar creek” would have been a worthy an
niversary of “ Yorktown.” Never down
cast, resolute, hopeful, resigned, reckless of
his own life, careful of those of his sol
diery, handsome in face and form, gifted in
graces, and a sincere Christian, it is no
wonder that the army looked upon him as
the leader worthy of the mantle of Jackson.
Faithful and resolute, he fought with Lee
to the end, and the last record of the army
of Northern Virginia shows Gordon in
front—ready to die.
SAnd when the end came, in an address
livared from the saddle, never equalled
in pathos and eloquence, he impressed upon
his sorrow-stricken veterans, that “ the
supreme test of nobility is adversity.”
Modest and retiring, since then, he has
endeavored to repair his shattered fortunes,
and only comes forth at the call of his
country. Pure, gifted, courageous, an hon
or to any people, he is well fitted for Gov
ernor. Devoted to principle, and yet not
grasping- after lost and shattered theories
of right, he is “ the right man in the right
place” and as Governor of Georgia will re
flect credit on himself, and add greatly to
the peace and prosperity of his State. We
pity a Georgian who cries down such a man,
because he was a Major General in the
Confederate army. We had rather be the
Radical writer who has the manhood to
say, “ I count it an omen of good when I,
find that one who has borne himself gal
lantly as a soldier has received prefer
ment.”
The Crawsluy family, the wealthiest in
Wales, ia said to have made its collossal
fortune from very small beginnings. In
the last century the original Crawshay,
then a farmer’s, son, rode to London on his
pony (his sole property) to seek his fortune.
He began by sweeping out the warehouse
of an ironmonger. The ironmonger had
been successfully speculating in sending
out iron pots to America, and his appren
tice observed that if the Americans used so
many pots they must want hooks to hang
them on. Whereupon the master not only
took the hint, but kindly determined that
Crawshay should send them out, and that
he would lend him the money for the pur
pose. Upon this venture was realized SSOO,
aud from that time the farmer’s son moved
rapidly upward, being first taken into part
nership by his master, ancl ultimately be
coining an iron king in South Wales, whose
descendant, lately deceased, has left, it-is
computed, above $150,000,000 in personal
property alone, besides enormous real
estates.
A London correspondent says : “ I dropped
in yesterday at Madame Tussaud’s famous wax
works establishment, to see the American group
on exhibition. I found Presidents Lincoln and
Johnson and Generals Grant and McClellan
standing vis-a-vis in a corner, and a more grace
less set of scamps 1 net set eyes upon before
and never expect to again. I trust I may never
meet euch a quartette anywhere of a darjt night.”
Our New York Correspondence-
New York, April 4th.
For the purpose of effecting favorably the re
sult, in Connecticut, on Monday, the extreme
emptiness of the evidence brought out against
President JohnsonJ isjjping enlarged upon by
the Conservative and IJsniocratic press; and the
Tribune practically adapts the justice of what
its opponents declare, not attempting to re
fute them ; Instead of which, it brings out a
44 double leaded leader ” to the effect that Gen.
Grant thinks Johnson should be deposed; set
tling the question of ffe justice of matter to its
satisfaction in this dSimary manner. The
Sun , and others of tint more judicious Grant
organs, assail the Tribune for this publication,
as full of enmity to ttte 44 heir apparent;” but
the Tribune undersfHuls its party best. It
knows that all e.yeaiu'i; turned towards the
44 rising man,” as-Griil is regarded ; and that
his word will easily evirride all law, set aside
all evidence, and sacrifice not only oue, but a
score of illustrious meii who have enjoyed pub
lic confidence.
But while there is no hope that the Senate
will pause in the work that lias been set before
it, the formal deposition of President Johnson,
so far as the power of that body extends, being
the work of bum i«w weeks, at most, it is not
quite so certain that aiiy Radical will succeed
him, or that he will vacate his office at once, or
uutil the proceedings in his case shall be passed
in review before tie courts. There is some
doubt about the eligibility of either Ben. Wade
or Speaker Colfax to the Presidential office ; it
is not improbable that it may devolve upon Mr.
Seward ; and it is quite possible that there may
be a show, if notibe use of force, before the
matter is tlaatfy gotten through with. A care
ful review of the subject clearly establishes
the conclusion that the framers of the
Constitution never intended that any mem
ber of either House of Congress should
ever be transferred directly to the Executive
chair, through the action of his colleagues in
either n, iryf. i- a most reasonable con
clusion, othwPttise there would be a constant
temptation, as in the present instance, to raise
a popular leader lotlie Presidency, by factious
proceedings,paginating with Congress. There
fore, the means by which a Senator or
RepreseuTative’TrrCongress can lie raised to the
discharge of Executive functions are by the
vote of the people, or by appointment of the
chief Executive himself; and when Mr. Wade
shall attempt toisn-rcisc the functions of Presi
dent, he will probably find his risrht to do so
disputed in an effective manner. The old law,
providing that in ease ot the death or disability
of both the President and Vice-President, the
Becretary of'Sfafe shall discharge temporarily
the duties of President, until a successor can
tic chosen and qualified in due form is the next,
Snag which the Radical chief will encounter.
Where is the law which will make B n Wade
Mr. Johnson's successor V A dim idea of this
point, begins to cuter Radical brains, and tlieir
impeachment zeal is somewhat dampened
thereby, especially in view of the fact that upon
this point the decision of the Chief Justice is
likely to be important.
“ SHODDY” IN EXTREMIS.
It, need sunrise no one that immense for
tunes have l«n made in New York in the past
six or seven years. Even in the great com
mercial ilistri! sos the past two years, in which
many wealth/ persons have become bankrupt,
colossal fortunes have been added to, and 1
believe that New York is to-day richer than at
any pi evions,period in her history. Hut the
efforts ol thisiiddenly rich to “enjoy” their
wealth, and 'j> attract the at tention for the pur
pose of lixefsng the envy of the less fortunate,
afford mucb-yimisement, not unmixed with a
sentiment of melancholy, to the more philo
sophic tempir.'. An out growth of the desires
and aspirators ot Shoddydom is a department
in a Sundry newspaper, already sufficient
notions, which is devoted to personal mention ol
the leading Jhoddyites and their various ac
quisiiions.
One of shoddy affects diamonds and
other precious stones; and straightway we
have a directory ot them, with a description of
the variouj gems displayed by them ; one of
them, the keeper of a fashionable public bar
room (or “gin mill,” to adopt the slang term),
received a notice in about these terms:
“ Johnny Sr , , (giving his name and of
fice) sports In enormous diamond upon a dirty
shirt bosom when ho drives out with one of his
Radical clerks.” Another class takes to horse
flesh ; and all the first class Jehus of the me
tropolis and its suburbs liml themselves and
their nags the subject of extravagant eulogy or
eontemnuiftus sneers, precisely as they “ come
down ’I '■-the “ enterprising reporter.” So
the bust W has gone on. The “ marriageable
bnchelortu&on one occasion, filled several col-
such a paragraph as this oc-
— *?- is young, handsome
and rich. Ic has black hair and eyes, and well
educated. Tbit lie lias experienced a singular
misfortune* he spent three weeks in Paris, and
entirely forgot the English language.” Column
alter column of such flippancy was endured by
the public, Che victims receiving no sympathy
whatever. A list of the most noted courte
zans, in which (heir meretricious claims were
duly set forth, was, however, rattier more than
could be endured ; and the journal in question
received a very quiet, but significant rebuke.
Rut it, did m>t abandon, it, simply modified this
feature of its columns. Dogs—curs of high
and low degree—were recorded, and gentlemen
found the breed and accomplishments of their
“ purps ” described at length—affording a val
uable inventory to professional dog stealers.
Latterly, the belles of Shoddydom receive
elaborate attention. What would the Consfi
tutionalist think to see several columns filled
with such paragraphs as these :
“Mrs. , wife of a celebrated Smith
street grocer, and daughter of a Wall street
banker, is noted for her fine intellectual coun
tenance, heanlilul features and exquisite form.
Her forehead is fair and open, her hair dark
and luxuriant, and always arranged with ex
quisite taste, In the expressive language ot
Dryden
“ ‘Her person is a paradise,
“ ‘And her soul is the cherub to guard it’’
“ Miss , of Madison, avenue, is a beau
tiful and bewitching girl, tall and slender,
though exquisitely proportioned. She pos
sesses a sweet disposition, with brilliant men
tal accomplishments, arid is a great favorite in
society.”
And so on, ail nauseum.
It is observed that no people of real refine
ment and gentility are mentioned among these
persons. Sundry vigorous “protests” from
the canes of male triends of those who have
been outraged by being included in “Headby’s
High Court,” have taught the compilers dia
erimination ; and one may now rely upon it
that the females which are thus mentioned are
only such as are likely to be “tickled” at ic
ing thus recognized in Shoddy’s court circular
as the reigning belles of Shoddydom. And
Shoddy being vastly in the majority, is it am
wonder the tone of society is at a very low
rate; that vulgar pretension is the rule rather
than the exception ?
A NEW RELIGION.
A society has been lormed in this pity with a
view of developing the philosophy of Compfe,
a French positivist philosopher, who died
about ten years ago, into the dignity of re
ligion. It is*! tn possible to describe the tenets
of tllls faith in the space which may be occu
pied for the purpose. Briefly, however, it may
be said lo tie the worship of humanity, the
greatest of God’s works of which we can form
any conception ; and reduced to practice, it is
hero worship in—its most exalted character.
But until I shall have attended one of the
meetings of Compte’s followers, I shall not be
able to enter more largely upon the subject. I
recognize in the movement only another phase
of the effort which the mind is making to
reach a pure religion, free from the Judaism,
Paganism and other exploded theologies, which
are yet present in various forms and in large
proportion in the creeds and ceremonies of
Christian churches.
BUSINESS matters.
Trade generally is dull. Cotton, though re
sponding but partially, from various causes, to
the advance in Liverpool, has reached thirty
cents to-day, and Augusta sheeting recovered
to lSe. It is now asserted with considerable
confidence that Liverpool will advance to 15d.,
equal to about 155 cents here. But the convic
tion is strong in my mind, (and it will lie re
membered that I urged planters to resist any
decline below 25 cents) that cotton costing over
that price so raise will be a loss to the planters.
They must proceed with caution. The advance
is partially due to liglt shipments from India.
This is owing tofsearcity of ships, which can lie
but temporary. A large quantity of cotton will
be held back to save the tax. This will swell
greatly the deliveries from the next crop. We
are not yet free from danger of famine and high
cost of food, for another year will be much
against cotton.
Money is rather easier. A desperate effort is
made to support gold, bnl the holders are in
much danger, and can only hope for temporary
relief. Willoughby.
