WEDNESDAY MORNING, JAN. 6, 1869
THE DUST OF NOTOBIETY.
The world is given to erecting idols of
clay and equally expert in tumbling them
down. The records of Time bristle with
examples of this hero-worship and -hero
smashing. The story of greatness is sel
dom complete without the overthrown
column as a significant ending. Washing
ton was, perhaps, the purest warrior and
sage since Evaminondas, but how much of
reverence is left of his example let the
scenes of the past eight years testify and
decide. If such a grand and colossal figure
has shrunk awl# to phantom proportions
and exists in the memory of the masses as
a legendary Old Mortality, why should the
gawky limbs of a satyr like Lincoi.n stride
augustly down the corridors of centuries ?
Half a century, at least, paid real or pre
tended homage to Washington. That is
something. Less than half a decade has
sufficed to dwarf the mad eminence of the
Rail-Splitter, if Oblivion, or its approxi
mation Neglect, has mathematical proper
ties, let us confess that in the comparison
between the two men we speak of, the Rail-
Splitter has had a most liberal share of
patronage and his shade must be content
with a popularity extending over a space
ten times less than the renown of the in
comparable Virginian. We are led to this
train of thought by reading as follows in
the Round-Table:
“ Three years and a half afro the President of
the United States was murdered, and the whole
North went spontaneously imo mourning.
Monuments were projected ; monnmeut asso
ciations were formed ; plenty of people nomi
nated themselves as treasurers to receive con
tributions ; there were, to be costly and preten
tious monuments, and there were to be some
erected by contributions which should not ex
ceed one hollar from any individual. The grief
was sincere, hut it was shallow, or else in this
country we do not believe in monuments.
Not. odc lias been completed. The accumula
tion of the funds suddenly stopped, and the
moneys paid have not been all publicly account,
ed for. No Slate, eouiily, oily, town, park,
cemetery, or public institution has been named
after Abraham Lincoln, in any really public
way ; not even an avenue or a tug-boat bears
his name, and vet the name itself is euphonious
if not elegant. Is the moral that, while the
paths of glory lead but to the grave, the foot
prints of those who have trod them are soon
effaced by the winds of currents in public
opinion counter to their lives or by the smooth
broom of general forgetfulness ? Or is the
moral only another sign of the breathless baste
in modern, political and social movements
which can hardly stop to bury the dead past,
much less to remember it ? Buckingham had
no other monument than the detestation of the
subjects of Charles I ; Lincoln needs none other
than the memory of his countrymen. And yet it
is not to the credit of our thoughtfulness, and
does not prov.: the sincerity of past grief, that
we have done nothing to keep bis uame familiar
in men’s mouths as household words.”
Poor fellow! He “ drifted,” so he said,
“ into the apex of a great event.” Having
drifted Styx-ward out of it, another idol has
usurped his place, to follow him over the
same path of popular neglect, sooner or
later. As the ruminating critics of the
North ponder over the imaginary monu
ments to be erected to the “ late-lamented,”
and the money subscribed for such pur
poses, will not some curious person start
the inquiry Southward and find out per
chance whether those loyal patriots of
Atlanta who projected a Lincoi.n shaft have
laid the foundation stone, and whether the
fund subscribed has been employed in a true
Republican way, or not.
PISCICULITJEE,
In Europe and the Northern States the
preservation and propagation of fish have
been reduced f.o a scientific system. A
meeting of Fish was re
cently held at New York and much im
portant information elicited. The princi
pal question of debate was as to the policy
of the General Government taking charge
of Fish Culture, making it a national as
well as a private interest. While onr peo
pie have their mindk inclined toward the
useful arts, it would not be amiss for some
of teem to apply their talents to the Fish
Question. If we are to go on in the same
old plan of exhaustion year after
only will our ponds be useless, but our
rivers, likewise, refuse the liberal yield
they should. There is profit in fish culture,
if we would only use the proper means to
foster it. In a lecture before the New York
Lyceum Capt. Gilt.man, of England, gave
some striking examples of this fact:
“He a:\iil tlwt in J.ipau, and in several parts
of Europe, he hail witnessed instances of fish
knowing their masters. He then referred to
the tunny iisk, which, though a native oi the
Mediterranean Sea, frequented American wa
ters before the discovery oi this Continent.
They cross in the Spring, and return in the
Autumn, it was known to the Chinese 1300
years ago, who take much interest in the pro
pagation of fish. It is only within the last fifty
years that England and America had made
much progress in pisciculture. He spoke oi
salmon and their habits—how they will dart up
a tall of several feet like a flush of lightning;
and in the coldest waters the female fish makes
a bed in the sand, where she deposits her ova,
all the other denizeus of the water watching
the operation, ready to devour the spawn,
should she absent herself. The male then de
posits his melt, and both cover the contents of
the furrow witli gravel. The lecturer then pro
ceeded to describe the mode of artificial im
pregnation, and said that there are about 1,000
eggs iu every pound of ova; and the melt from
the male fish is sufficient to impregnate the
ova of five or six salmon. The profits arising
from the culture of salmon on the River Tay,
in England, are really surprising. One pond
realized $3,585; another, S3OO, which contained
only yearling3. In the first pond were 3,000
yearlings, worth $150; the ova cost S4OO, and left
a profit, after deducting all expenses, of $3,-
843 30.”
How is it with us in the South ? Instead
of preserving and propagating fish, we do all
we can to exterminate them, by bleaching
powders, drag-nets, and by making the
Lord’s Day anything but a Sabbath for man
or shad. If we must perforce be thus re
lentless iu diminishing the ilnny tribes,
should we not, in compensation, do some
thing to supply the waste we have reck
lessly occasioned ?
True Bum.—We should like to have the
secret history of some time-servers .in the
days when men were in danger of being
sent to the lions of the arapitheatre, in de
fault of acquiescing in the worship of Jupi
ter or Venus. We venture to say that
such a history, barring the fashions of old,
would read very like the annals of more
modern days. A discreet silence may serve
a good purpose, but to use the language of
the Missouri Republican, “To be recon
ciled to dishonor, to acquiesce iu wrong
and outrage, is to court anarchy and to
welcome the brute mob.”
[COMMUNICATED.] s
A Great Desideratum.
be com b™ my much* o lnterested of late in
the subject of immigration, and certainly
no more important question could at pres-'
ent engage the attention of the people ot
the South; situated as it is, with a vast ex
tent of territory yet pninhabited, and em
bracing, as it does, so great a number of
the requisites, not only for a successful pur
suit of agriculture, but for almost every
branch' of industry known to man. Per
haps Nature has done no more for any por
tion of the known world than she has done
for the Sooth, in famishing her with the
most genial climate, fertile soil, immense
and almost inexhaustible mineral deposits
of every variety, and a superabundance of
natural motive power in the shape of her
water courses, which are perfectly control
able at all seasons of the year, and all ifej
want is the labor of man to develop these
immense advantages to their fullest Capaci
ty. In order to procure this, the papers are
teeming with various projects,.all- tending
to prove the truth of iny assertion? in re
gard to the immense resources of the coun
try. Without intending to make any in
vidious distinctions between the various
projects proposed, I am inclined to believe
that the article published in your paper, of
recent date, as coming from the pen of Mr.
Frank Schaller, contains more useful aud
practical suggestions on the subject than
have yet met the. eye of your cprrespond
dent but all of these propositions are but
rabbit trails compared with the grand
buffalo hunt on this vety important subject,
as they comprise only a part—an important
part, it is true—of this great question. For in
order to carry out this plan of Mr. Schaller,
or indeed auy other plan, there is oue im
portant element lacking, and that is the
foundation stone in the shape of a suitable
port of entry to the Sojuth. It must be
borne in mind that ever since the formation
of the Government of the United States,
there never has been opened a port of suffi
cient natural advantages in the way of a
harbor for the admission of all classes of
vessels, of whatever size, in the South, to
enable her to compete with other portions
of this great country. Portsmouth and
Norfolk are exceptions, but they are iu
such close proximity to the North that
they may be considered of a suburban
character in this respect. This fact,
together with the almost purely agricultu
ral-habits of the people of the South anti
their consequent indisposition to commer
cial and manufacturing pursuits, has been
the cause of our-not occupying the high
position in the commercial world which onr
natural advantages would entitle us to
hold. I shall not stop to discuss the politi
cal aspect of the case as it presents itself
now, and has for years, to our eyes, for in
fact, iny desire is to withdraw the thoughts
of our people from »the contemplation
of this aspect of affairs, at once so
depressing, hopeless, and consequently
demoralizing, and to concentrate, if pos
sible, their attention upon the material
interest of the country, upon which atone is
based the future prosperity and conse
quently political influence of the South. In
or ’er to carry out a y of the proposed
plans for supplying the South with a popu
lation sufficient, and of a proper character
to develop her resources fully, Inducements
such as are palpable and not to be mistaken
must be offered to the emigrant from all
parts of the world, and especially from the
densely populated regions of Europe. Have
those inducements been heretofore presented
in a tangible form? I think not. When
we consider the fact that in addition to the
obstacles to immigration already presented
in this article, there has been a studied and
systematic course pursued by other sections
of the United States to prevent emigrants
from coming to the South by misrepresent
ing t.:e climate and the character of the
people inhabiting this-region. To disabuse
the minds of these emigrants in these parti
culars, some means must be devised to
briDg them in actual contact with us, and let
them judge for themselves the character of
our climate, soil and people. One of the most
feasible and practical measures to accom
plish tiiis is to opca a Southern j>ort where
vessels of the largest class can enter as readily
.as at any port in the United States, In order
that the transportation of these emigrants
may be attended with as little discomfort to
themselves and as much profit to the ship
owner as will afford a sufficient inducement
to engage in their transportation. And this
can be accomplished best by the employ
ment of the largest class of steamers, sup
plied as many of them are, with shifting
iron berths, which are placed in the hold ot
the vessel as ballast when carrying an out
ward bound cargo, and fitted up for the
accommodation of the emigrants on her re
turn.
The people of Georgia and South Caro
lina, and especially those of Augusta, have
presented to them at the present time an
incipient project, through the aid of
which to accomplish results so much de
sired, in the Port Royal Railroad, now in
the course of construction, from Port
Royal, South Carolina, to Augusta. I have
seen in your issue of the 30th ult. that this
road, its prospects and advantages, in some
particulars, have been presented to your
readers in a communication signed “ En
terprise.” The statements contained in
this communication I endorse, so far as the
advantages to accrue from the building of
this road is concerned, and the progress
already made toward its coftipletion, and
would suggest the additional fact that it’s
course is through one of the best farming
regions in the South, well populated with
enterprising and intelligent inhabitants,
the great portion of whom have for the last,
hundred years contributed very largely by
their trade to the susteuance of at least one
half of your beautiful and flourishing city.
That i may not be considered too prolix in
my communication, I will close this with
the promise, if leisure permits, of another,
entering more into detail in reference to this
all important question, Immigration, and
embracing other points of the subject as
connected with this road.
Progress.
The Position of the South. (
A PLAIN AND FORCIBLE STATEMENT OF THE
FINANCIAL ADVANTAGES OF THE SOUTHERN
STATES.
The Washington correspondent of the
New York Express writes:
Letters from the West state that the
stringency in commercial circles there is
greater than it has been since 1857—that the
country is over-stocked with "goods, and
that the fanners refuse to seud their grain
to market in consequence of the decline in
nricoa since 1807.
At the South the aspect is more cheerful.
The high price of cotton will put $250,000,-
000, for that product alone, into the pockets
of the “reconstructed” of that secliou, to
say nothing of large amounts for tobacco
in Virginia, North Carolina, Maryland,
Missouri and Kentucky, and for wheat and
corn in the same States and in Georgia and
Tennessee. The whole value of the surplus
crops of the South this year cannot be less
than $300,000,000, of which probably SIOO,-
000,000 are paid to the negroei in the shape
of wages, andsso,ooo,ooo more in the shape
of food.
Another year of equal prosperity would
put the South iu a comparatively sound
condition, although, of course, there are
and must be for many years numerous
cases of individual suffering—as ot persons
in advanced life, totally ruined by the war,
their houses and furniture destroyed, and
all their investments of money completely
worthless. When we consider that the
accumulated savings of two hundred years
have been destroyed at the South, we can
not cease to wonder that her recuperation
should be as rapid as it is.
Os the immense importation of foreign
goods, cloths, silks, velvets, laces, .jewelry,
wines and other costly merchandise, the
South now takes comparatively little. Her
consumption is mainly confined to the ne
cessaries of life, and will lie for some years.
Hence her recovery from losses will be more
rapid. The Southern people, with few ex
ceptions, never were a luxurious people, in
the sense that the New Yorkers and Paris
ians are. -They cherished for, the most
part the Homely virtues of their ancestors,
and lived well upoft the produce of their
fields, their forests and their rivers—con
tent with roomy houses, wood fires and old
fashioned furniture. Hence, in their present
depressed condition, they are more content
ed than a stranger would suppose it possi
ble for them to be. We bear of few suicides
there, and the number of insane persons in
Virginia is only half the number in Maine,
regard being had to population.
In its best "days there was very little
money in circulation in the South. Now
there jjjß still less. In the commercial panic
which Neems to be approaching, the South
Will therefore-suffer lose than the Horth
front any contraction of the currency that
may precede the restoration to prosperity.
In tne Strath there are ho real estate specu
lations, even in the environs of the cities ;
no artificial values given to town lots or
embryo Palmyras or Babylons. Festina
tente is eminently the rule there, so Car as
real estate js concerned. They are not a
gregarious people, but love elbow room
above everything. Cities they regard as
necessary evils, and as such not to be en
couraged unduly beyond moderate dimen
sions. For the greater the city the greater
the evil.
It is very evident that business at the
North is overdone; that there are too many
non producers there, too many merchants,
too many traders, too many agents, too
many lawyers, too many doctors, too many
persons, in short, who stand merely as in
termediaries between the producer and the
consumer. One of the New York journals
estimates that there are 200,000 people out*
of work within sight of the sp ; re of Trinity
Church. Within an equal distance of the
State House, at Boston, there are doubtless
50,000 more, aud auother 50,000 in the inte
rior of New England. Most of these un
fortunate persons are anxious for employ
ment, but cannot obtain it. Even the high
tariff, which so enriches the great manufac
turers, does not put a morsel of bread or an
ounce of meat into their mouths.
What visible outlet to all this surplus
labor is afforded, unless at the South? The
West, for the present, is pretty well filled
up with laborers of all descriptions, and
thousands there are out of work. The South,
then, is the only vacant field easily accessi
ble on this continent for the unemployed
masses of the NoTth.
[from the New York Express.
The Cotton Supply.
The firmness with which cotton continues
to be held In England, at a time, too, when
the crop in the United States has turned out
a fair average, continues to excite surprise
on the other side of the Atlantic. Those
who some months since were of opinion
that middling New Orleans would decline
to 9il. per pound, and those who advocated
a heavy fall in prices to secure for the
manufacturers cheap and safe markets for
the future, find that they have been labor
ing under a delusion as regards consump
tion and production. The best authorities
concur in the opinion that, on the whole,
there is nothing indicative of a much lower
range of quotations. On the 26th ult. the
total visible supply of cotton was only
960,000 bales. Last, year it was 1,116,000,
and in 1866, 1,298,000 bales. Since that date
the quantity has declined to about 840,000
bales —a quantity which is wholly opposed
to the theory of low currencies. The com
parison of the visible supply stands thus:
1868. 1867. *1866.
American—bales 336,000 416,000 651,000
Kant lonian “ 582,i 00 <91,000 554,‘ 00
Sundries “ 42,0 0 100,0* 0 93,000
960,‘>00 1,116,000 1,298,000
The effect of these supplies on prices is
seen by the following quotations from the
corresponding periods:
1868. 1867. 1866.
Mid. Orleans at Liverpool .11 t£d.
Fair Dbollera at Liverpool. H%d.
Difference -3d. 2d. 4d.
New Orleans cotton, it will be seen, is
3d. per pound dearer than it was in 1867.
The comparison as regards 1866 shows a
fall of 4d. per pound. The quotations then
current, however, were far too high to
tempt large buyers to enter the market.
The London Mercantile Gazette, speculating
upon the extent of the American crops, and
the future range of values, says:
“We still contend that quite 2,700,000
bales of cotton have beeu grown in Ameri
ca this year. If we assume that the total
supply lor the season will exceed 1867 by
100,000 bales, we do not see how prices can
possibly be reduced even 2d. per pound
beneath their present level- It is all very
well to advocate a diminished consump
tion in this country; but a great trading
nation like this cannot stand still. Our
home demands for goods is something enor
mous, and our export trade is increasing
every year. The trade, whatever prices
may be ruling here or elsewhere, must be.
met; an<l whilst the 'sales of cotton con
tinue on their present scale, we shall look
ip vain for any important increase in the
stocks in warehouse.”
The new crop in India is said to be turn
ing out well—so well, indeed, that the ex
ports from Bengal alone, it is believed, will
reach 100,000 bales. But, as India esti
mates are usually much in excess of actual
ities, the effect on the value of the Ameri
can article is still to be determined.
[From the Louisville (Kv.) Courier Journal, Dec. 26.
No Christmas.
The. Cincinnati Enquirer piques itself
upon the fact (?) that it sets the example to
the newspaper community of publishing its
regular daily edition on Christmas day and
the day after Christmas. It takes Drklc in
its non observance of a holiday whicli is
celebrated joyously by all the rest of the
world. It rejoices only that it has no
Christmas.
Now, we like the Enquirer , issue on
Christmas day, ancUhe day after Christmas,
and the day after that, but we are fain to
confess that we do not pique ourselves on a
piece of enterprise (?) at once so excep
tionable aud so questionable. We yield to
what seem3 to be inevitable, and we trust,
in tolerably good grace; for, after all, the
demands of the public for its daily paper is
a tribute to onr indispensability. But it is
all wrong in the public to desire, and all
wrong in the press to yield to the desire ;
and, though it be at our own expense, we
should not permit the occasion to pass
without referring to the bad moral lesson
which it sets up.
In no other country are holidays so care
lessly observed as in this country; and in
no other country has the sordid, morey
getting spirit implied by the refusal to make
merry on holiday occasions produced so
much unailoyed evil. Though yet a young
people, we are already wrinkled by preco
cious old age and willful error; a sharp,
avaricious, proscriptive race of men, who
live fast, unwholesome lives and descend to
premature and half-dug graves. We eat
like gluttons; drink like 1 leasts; work live
devils, and die young, content if we die
“ game.” Railroads, steamboats, newspa
pers catch the prevailing humor or are
forced to it, and hence the disasters and the
corruptions of which the whole of us are
wont to complain.
There will be no morning paper publish
ed to-morrow in London or Paris. The
most civilized and most Christian people
in the world are “ old fogies.” Only the.
Americans are “up to snuff.” They take
no Christmas, take no Sunday, take no
pleasure, and are wondrous rich and wise.
Seriously, are we better off for this ? Are
we happy ? Are we not, on the contrary,
the most unhappy lot ot barbarous and
beggarly poor devils on the face of the
earth, wearing out our lives and corrupting
our hearts, while the great body of man
kind are joining in that blessed chant of
peace on earth and re9t from labor, which
chastens and glorifies the balance of the
world, while Christmas fires burns cheeri
ly; while Christmas faces brighten and
sparkle; while Christmas fruitage glad
dens and cheers ; while rich and poor alike
are kin in spirit and something more than
kind?
What despicable congregations of Scroo
ges we must be to be sure; and, as we sink
down to-night, weary and heart-sore, how
can we exclaim with Tiny Tim, or any bo

GrtrAuro
TO THE
PLANTERS OF GEORGIA.
Guarantied to be equal to anv fertilizer heretofore
used, not excepting gmnino Peruvian Guuuo. By
various tests made by experienced planters of eotten,
it lias been conclusively proven that an application,
pound for pound, alongside Peruvian, produces fully
as good results in favorable seasons, and in dry
weather the crop stands the drought much better. It
ims also been demonstrated that, til every case it makes
A GOOD STAND, GROWS OFF QUICKLY, MA
TURES THE CROP Earlier and PICKS OUT
BETTER than where none is applied, and MAKSH
A BETTER and HEAVIER STAPLE.
When applied at the rate of 260 pounds per acre, it
will make two good successive crops, thus demonstra
ting its permauot qualities, which cannot be said of
Peruvian. One hundred end fifty to two hundred
pounds have always, in average seasons, INCREAS
ED THE CROP ONE HUNDRED PER CENT.
Where a more liberal application Ims been made, the
yield bag been in proportion. This ca l be relied
upon only when the lollowing dlree ions are complied
with, although some planters have gotten the b-st re
sults by listing, the i ume as is done with Peruvian.
DIBKCTIOH S:
Rub the seed with the Guano before planting, and
rise not less than 150 pounds per acre in the drill, IN
DIRECT CONTACT WITH THE SKI'D. The
application can he increased to 500 pounds WITH
OUT ANY RISK, with a corresponding and certain
result. Be sure the land is well drained, and the plow
and hoe kept vigorously going, to ke p down the
grass and give the cotton plant a chance to got the
full benefit of the manure, otherwise it must fail of
its proper result. It will give equal results on any
other crop to which it is applied. The nv■mufuiturers
GUARANTEE SATISFACTORY RESULTS IN
ALL CASKS it the foregoing directions are complied
with.
We confidently recommend this FERTILIZER to
our friends and customers, feeling assured from the
experience of the past two years, that it will accom
plish all that is claimed tor it by the manufacturers.

We have a large cumber ol planters’ certificates,

FIIIS GUANO dilieis from Peruvian Guano
simply In the relative proportions of tl e same clement
of fertility.
Its use during the past four years, for the culture of
Cotton and Corn, lias given to it a character for stand
ard excellence unsurpassed by Peruvian Guano, and
when seasons of drought intervene itprodunes a larger
increase of crops. The price at which this Guano is
placed is so much below that, of Peruvian Guano as
to constitute it an object o( material importance to
Southern agriculture.
The Company looks to “ large sales,” small “ prof

The large capital and resources of the Company en
