Agricultural Meeting. —The Rich
mond County Agricultural Society met in
the City Hall Thursday afternoon.—
Present: R Y. Harrris, C. W. Harris,
George A. Oates, C. 11. Rowland, \V.
Henry Warren, # Robert Douglas, J. C.
Fargo, Alfred Baker, Thomas P. Stovall,
John Davidson, and Lafayette McLaws,
General R. Y. Harriss called the meet
ing to order. He stated that a full
meeting had been expectcu and several re
ports were to have been ready, one on get
ting up a map of Richmond county and
the other in relation to a lair to be held
here next Fall, but as no notice had been
given in the papers only a few were present
and he understood the committees were
not yet ready to report. He recommended
that a meeting be held on next Monday
for the purpose of either getting the fair up
or abandoning it altogether. Augusta was,
by her tardiness, loosing all her business,
and if her citizens did not make gome cf
fort to retain it sho would be ru.ncd.
letter-writers, newspaper correspond
ents, etc—in writing from Augusta always
spoke of it as being a beautiful and ex
ceedingly pleasant city, but sadly deficient
in the energy and enterprise which was
characteristic of other cities in the State.
He had heard that many merchants and
farmeisin Warren and adjoining counties,
had commenced going to Atlanta to make
their purchases instead of coming to this
city, as has heretofore been their custom.
Augusta merchants must make some ef
fort to retain the patronage of this class,
and convince them that goods could be
purchased aH cheaply in this place as any
where else iri Georgia. At this time, too,
another section of country had just been
developed by the construction of the Co
lumbia A Augusta Railroad, and if proper
means were employed the people of that
section who had heretofore carried their
custom to Charleston, might be induced to
transfer it to this city, lie was riot much
of a farmer himself, but hehad-tho interest
of the society, and the interests of Augusta \
very much at heart., and be desired to see
them both prosper. It was folly for men i
not to join the Society, simply because j
they did not happen to be farmers; whether
merchants, lawyers, physicians, no matter
what might be their avocation, all men of j
business were interested in agriculture, j
With a good season and fine crops !
business of every description flour
ished, with the reversee every one
suffered. Ho was induced to make these I
gemarks in order that some action might
be taken as speedily as possible with regard
to having an agricultural fair held in this j
city during the coming Autumn. This fair j
would bring not less than ten thousand ]
people hero from different par sos the |
countiy and would benefit Augusta a great j
deal, both directly and indirectly. He
suggested that as so few members of the
Society were present—on account of the
meetings not having been properly adver
tised—that it adjourn to meet again on j
next Monday or Tuesday, when the report
of the Fair Committee might be received,
and the Society then determine whether
this fair should be held or not. If it was
to be held, why the sooner the Society
went to work in the matter the better ; if
it was not to be held, why let the fact he
known and the scheme abandoned al-
together.
In the absence of tlio Secretary of the
Society, Mr. Jno. S. Davidson was request
ed to act in his stead.
Mr. T. P. Stovall, from the Fair Com
mittee, said that as the Chairman of that
Committee, Mr. J. J. Cohen, was eluent
from tho city, he would stato that the
Committee had held a most harmonious
meeting a few evenings since, at which
some of tho first citizens of tho plaeo had
been present,and had decided that it would
require about three thousand dollars to hold
tho fair which the committee believed
could be easily collected. It was deemed
better, however, not to commeucc calling
on tho people for subscriptions yet, as it i
was thought that in a few months the
condition of the city finances would be
greatly improved, and tho City Council
would bo able to contribute one thousand
dollars toward the fair, leaving only two
thousand to be subscribed by tho citizens,
lie was opposed to any further delay in
the matter, as it was important that the
ball should, at once, be sot in motion, aud
objected, therefore, to an adjournment
until Monday or Tuesday, lie proposed j
that tho Ciiair should appoint a commit- j
tee which should prepare a suitable pro- |
rniura list and report at the next regular 1
meeting of the Society. And as it" was
desirous that tho neighboring portion of
South Carolina should be present, he
further suggested that the people of Edge
field county be invited to be present on
that occasion, and in order to secure a
largo turn out, that somo distinguished
man from that section be invited to deliver
an address. He would suggest the name
of ex-Gov. Bonham as a suitable orator for
tho occasion.
The motions to appoint a “premium"
Committee and an "invitation" Committee
were put and earried.
Mr. C. W. Harris moved that the Beach
Island Agricultural Society be invited to
attond.
The Chair said this Society was invited
to attend every meeting, but if the speaker
promised to como that another invita
tion would be extended.
Mr. Harris moved that in ease Gover
nor Bonham deeliued that the Committee
be authorised to invite someone else.
The Chair thought that Governor Bon
ham would take it more as a compliment if
he thought he was specially invited by the
Sociotv —as it was not necessary that he
should know how small the meeting was —
but if be declined to come the Committee
could then invite someone else.
Mr. Harris announced that the Com
mittee which had been appointed some
time since to select a permanent place for
the meetings of the Society were now ready
to report.
The Chair thought that this report had
better be postponed until the next meeting,
as there was uot a quorum present. The
Chair named the fallowing gentlemen a
Committee to iuvite Governor Bonham to
deliver the address : T. I*. Stovall, Lafa
yette MeLaws and J. C. Fargo ; as the
Committee to prepare a premium list, T.
P. Stovall, Geo. A. Oates, C. 11. Rowlaud,
J. J. Cohen and W. Henry Warren.
Mr. Rowland moved that the Society ad
journ to meet at the City Hall oa the
second Saturday in May at 11 o'eioek A.
M.— the address to begiu at twelve.
Mr. Harris suggested the pr ipristy of
holding a horticultural fair in connection
with a strawberry festival at the same
time—the Society offeriug small premiums
for the best varieties of fruits end flowers.
The Chair djd not know what amouut of
funds the Society had on hand, as the
Treasurer was absent, and thought that
matter had better be postponed until the
next regular meeting.
Mr. Stovall did not think this fair would
cost much, and the amount needed could
be subscribed by the meoib rs of the So
ciety. II w »uM give tow u d it.
Mr. Warren thought that it would be
advisable to have tbi* fair whilst the
Georgia Railroad Convention was ia se a. j
sion.
Mr. Harris offered the following resolu
tion :
Resolad, That this Society hold a hor
ticultural lair and strawberry festival at
Concert or Masonic Hall, or some other
suitable place during the session oj the
Georgia Railroad Convention in this city
in May, on a day to b ■ selected by the
Committee of Five, who shall be anpji nt
ed by the Chair to arrauge the entire pro
gramme and preliminaries. Carried.
Mr. Rowland moved that this resolution
be reconsidered. It would make the So
ciety obnoxious to carry the subscription
paper around so often.
The motion was reconsidered and was
about to be put upon its passage again
when Mr. Harris withdrew it and the
Society adjourned.
New Yerk courts have decided that tur
tles are reptiles and not auimals, and that
holes can 1* punched through their flippers
without infraction of law.
The Filibusters. —The Savannah
Republican says the eastern part of the
city is considerably agita ed, especially
the idle sailors and loungers, by OubaD
affairs. The largo offers of money, es
pecially for experienced officers and able
bodied men, are tempting many a man to
take a boat to Florida, where he wiii meet
an agent who settles everything to bis
satisfaction. The truth is that some money
has been made by certain parties in that
city in connection with services rendered
to tho emissaries of the revolutionists, who
have a rendezvous in Savannah. A cer
tain sloop which has recently been coasting
in our waters, has handsomely rewarded
her owners by running the (so-called)
blockade of Cuba, having made two trips,
and about to engage in a third attempt.
She has taken men and ammunition, and
reports no difficulty in landing, provided
proper vigilance is exercised to avoid the
Spanish war vessels-

Rains and Floods in Floyd County.
—We copy the annexed from the Rome
Courier oftho.22d inst:
! Between last Sunday noon and Tuesday
} morning, over four inches of water fell in
| this city. The rain seems to have extend
-1 od to the head waters of our rivers, and
! been general in North Geogia. The rivers
j here commenced rising Monday evening
and had not ceased up to noon Wednesday.
\ The water at that time covered a large
! portion of the bottom lands on tho North
side of the Oostanaula river, opposite the
j city, and on this side surrounded the post
! office, and came up to within three feet of
I the top of tho pavement of that place.
! Most of the ground in the rear of the
! Shorter block was submerged.
! The flood will probably prove very dis
; astrous to the crops on the Coosa bot
| toms. So far as we have heard there has
been no material damage done in this city,
uor is there likely to be.
] Mr. 11. C. Hnperhas suffered a loss of
about one thousand dollars from the iu
jury done to his brick yard and unburnt
: brick, near tho Oostauuala river, above the
; cite.
The river ceased to rise about 1 o’clock,
and was then not as high as in Febraary,
ISCI, by over five feet.
A "Loil” Consul.- From the Phila. |
delphia 1 digraph, we gather further par
tieulars concerning the Kleptomaniac
whose arrest was telegraphed a
few days since. It seems that for a long
time past a gentleman well known in that
city—a man cf means, of culture, of re
finement —has been in the habit of pilfer
ing various small articles from one of the
largest and best patronized wholesale and
retail grocery stores, ihe firm, though
fully aware of the thefts, bore with them,
hardly knowing what course uuderthe cir
eumstauees, to pursue. At length, how
ever, patience at an end. they brought the
matter to a culmination" on Saturday last
by having the gentlemanly thief arrested in
the street. He was conducted back to
the store, and there compelled to disgorge
the articles he bad but a few minutes pre
viously stolen. These consisted of a Los of
I cigars and divers other trival things, such
as he had been accustomed to take. He
‘•ben offered to pay a sum of money equiv
alent to the value of the articles he had
stolen f‘o» two years past on condition of
being lot up softly. The firm accepted his
i proposition. wb»n bo paid The
matter is now amicably Gotti*! and all par
ties satisfied.
The kleptomania*; is a member of a large
aud celebrated political organization in that
city, besides being connected with everal
societies. Through the influence of eer
tain well-known politicians, his fast
"tends, he lately received an appointment
from President Gram, as Consul to one of
j Lurope&n ports. It is understood
! since the disclosure of his "peeuliari
ty, 1 bis appointment will be withdrawn,
and his resignation s,m in to the organi
zations oi wh.eh he is * member, Such
things (Radically wrorgj will happen seme
j times,
Missßraddon appears to have many
■egal difficulties. She has now sijcfi ’ a
French translator of one of her novels, and
the litter warns her that it she persists in
can ying the ease into court he will prove
that she has taken most of her plots apj
> characters from old French novels,

J have it from undoubted authority that
\ dispatch from this city to a Northern
newspaper to the effect that the Pre
: sklent contemplates an immediate called
session of Congress is without the slightest
foundation, tie is even anxious lor an ad
j jouroment of the Senate. Many of the
appointments which he desires to make
upon personal grounds are threatened
with rejection, arid he is now desirous to
test what virtue there really is in the mo
dified Tenure-of-Offiac act.
The tocsin of alarm sounded by the sen
tinels upon the watch tower of this Me
tropolis has reached the ears, aud drawn
the attention of “the bloated bondhold
ers.” Oar foreign relations all round are
in "a critical condition. It is felt that the
credit of the nation cinnot stand another
four years’ war, even if mainly of a naval
character. Yet, it would seem that the
nation's creditors are powerless to prevent
a collision upon a gigantic scale. It
appears to be settled that the Adminis
tration will not yet reeognize Cuban
independence openly, nor will Mr. Mot
ley be instructed to recommence ne
gotiations at once in respect to the
“Alabama claims” so called. The plan
determined upon is by a systematic series
of annoyances to provoke the Governments
of England and Spain to demand repara
tion, and thereby place the United States
in the attitude of delence. For this pur
pose our neutral obligations to these Pow
ers will be practically ignored, and (filibus
tering expeditions secretly encouraged,
while every attempt to prevent their suc
cess wifi be tortured by the Radical press
into so many insults to our flag and coun
try, and ser?e to exasperate the people up
to the proper pitch for further and regular
ly authorized aggressions. It is in vain
that the creditors of the Government re
monstrate. The negro question and hatred
to the poor Southern people have been
worn thread-bare as elements of Radical
{>ower. We have heard a great deal about
“military necessity”—there is now a “civil
necessity" to keep the restive portion of
Radical rank and file in line. Nothing
short of a tub to the whale such as is thus
improvised is considered adequate to the
emergency.
Such an extraordinary state of tho coun
try could alone have so suddenly elevated
George Francis Train to the position of a
really important and widely influential
man, which he evidently is at this mo
ment. The condition of the English con
troversy has revived the operations of
Fenians, who now have a reasonable op
portunity of a permanently successful raid
upon the “New Dominion.” It seems that
this programme is not of yesterday’s con
trivance, but has been foreseen or project
ed by Eastern politicians long ago. The
machinations in this regard converted
Train to Radicalism, and to them exclu
sively is to be attributed, the Democratic
defeat in Connecticut the present month,
as might be conclusively shown if cumula
tive proof were necessary.
Such is the strait to which Radical lead
ers are driven for recruits to preserve their
majority of numbers; and I must confess
there is danger of its temporary success.
The people of this country as yet can be
swayed only by the glare of big public en
terprises, and gigantic private specula
tions ! The men, however, who by either
fair or foul means have acquired large
means in any kind of property had better
take a sober look at the prospect before
them ! A single turn of the die might
convert their prosperity into very ashes.
Some of Grant’s appointments have
been shelved or withdrawn, and few re
jected. Three secessionists have received
prominent positions—Longstreet, Martin,
and Crowe—through Senatorial confirma
tions.
The new appointees wore thrown into
spasms yesterday by a report that the
President threatened resignation. It is
known that Colfax would not leave a man
in office whom Grant has appointed- By
the way, a furious quarrel has sprung up
between the Vice President and his man
Friday —Defrees. It is admitted that the
latter was the chief instrument in the
nomination of Colfax at Chicago ; yet not
a finger was lifted to prevent his igno
minious dismissal from his very lucrative
office. I have it from good authority that
the Vico President refused to recommend
Defrees to Grant upon the ground that a
“good understanding” did not .exist be
tween the first aud second officers of this
great country. »
Washington, April 19,1809.
Notwithstanding the policy adopted by
the Administration by which all incum
bents will be forced to walk the plank, it
is estimated by the Radicals themselves
that ninety-nine out of every one hundred
of office seekers must leave the Capital
disappointed. The rush for Consulates,
Collcctorships, Assessorships, in short, for
all posts connected with receiving or dis
bursing public money, has been frantic.
If the President and his Cabinet had
been guided by a general desire to accom
modate members of Congress of their own
party, it is freely admitted that great dis
satisfaction must have necessarily existed,
merely from the scarcity of places as com
pared to the hosts of applicants. But it is
alleged that no such disposition has been
manifested by either General Grant or his
Secretaries. 1 have heard of dozens of j
instances in which the President has been
very roughly expostulated with, and in
which he has condessended to bandy epi
thets with Senators and members. In
some cases Senators have finally triumphed
in these contests by procuring tlie rejection
of nominations. I may mention Mr- Ross
in particular—a somewhat surprising case,
as he was au anti-impeacher, and now at
j loggerhead with his colleague, Mr. Pome
i roy.
The effect of this state of things (outside
of the disgrace to the country involved)
must necessarily be to produce ill-feeling
between the Executive and Legislative
branches ot the Government—a thing to
be deplored upon public considerations at
this critical juncture. The good under
standing which Gen. Grant desires to cul
I tivatc, by an unconditional surrender to
; Congress upon all questions affecting recon
| struction and the status of the negro, will
hardly be sufficient to prevent an open
rupture. It is uow thought that, as soon
as the Senate shall adjourn, he will ap
point and send abroad those Ministers and
1 Consuls whose nominations shall fail ot con
! firmation, and not bcabsoluuiy rejected by
the Senate. The fight upon the question
j of adjournment "hath this extent —no
more. ’ ’
Beyond the usual gossip about appoint
ments there is nothing of interest stirring
to-day. I learn that A. H. Markland,
Esq., will be confirmed for Third Assistant
Postmaster General this afternoon. How
any doubt of this could have been enter-
J tained it is bard to tell —especially on the
alleged ground of lack of Radicalism on
the nonuoao's part. But Danton himself
was guillotined on suspicion of disaffection
to Republicanism in France. Someone
said of this exploit that it was the same
• thing as bringing the revolution itself to
] the block. This man has dope everything
to reeeommend himself to the faithful,
except perhaps the swallowing cf a live
negro bodily without grea.-ing, and canni
balizing over a dead Confederate.
Washington, April 21, 18(39. —The
speech of Mr. Ross jtjth? Senate - est»:Jgy
is regarded here qs one oi the most laugh
able episodes that has yet been interwoven
in the current Radical epie- He com
menced by denying that "the Chief Mag
istrate, forgetting the dignity of hie post:
tion," had indulged iu 'expressions of
passion and reseutment unbecoming a
gen leman in his capacity.” 1 must here
promise that, according to the most scru
pulously polite rules applicable to social
intercourse »n<l conversation iu this Na
! tional metropolis epithets, such as "liar"
and “scroundrel” and “thief are consid
; ered albwade, if permit'ed to be retorted
without an auemn at personal collision.
The denial of the Senator, therefore, as to
tspres-ions ot passion ' on the occasion
to which be alludes is just as much as to
leave the public in ‘utter darkness as to
! the urbanity or exceptionableness of the
terms of his colloquy with the new Presi
1 deut. It is very tar from my purpose to
endorse the authenticity of the New Y T ork
Ha aids aeeount of the language used at
the “unpleasant interview. Isu
! hhj informed, however, that at its conclu
sion - General Grant begged the next
; comer/’ who bad been waiting a verbal
’ "interview,” and was present r.i
room while the previous one was "pro
gressing,” to desist a moment until he
1 could dear bis throat of something of a
■ choking nature which was still sticking
there like a shad bone !
But where “the laugh came in” was
that immediately after the Senator's dis
claimer of using harsh language in his
1 “interview,” he proceeded to charge the
‘ President with acts, the perpetration of
the half of which charged, would entirely
upset the theory put forth about the time
of the coronation oh the 4th of March last,
that this Administration was to inaugurate
an immaculately honest system of carrying
on the uovernment. Among other things
he boldly asserted that beef-stealing was a
sort of a recommendation for office. “A
soldier," said he, "is dismissed to make
room for a mere camp-follower, who made
it his occupation during the war to plunder
the Government at every turn, and fiU his
I awn purse with the ill-gotten gains of stolen
j beef To which his colleague. Mr. Pome
-1 roy, by no means deDyin - the premises,
rejoined that “Ac saw nothing to complain
| of, and nothing to censure, either in the
President or the Administration a3 to ap
: pointments in his State.”
Sharp sparring, indeed, in these latter
| days of immaculate purity ! But upon
j one point Mr. Ross labored under a mis
take. He seemed to think that the ven-
I dilation of this embarrassing business was
attributable to unfriendliness to him, and
j was “prompted by parties interested
1 in manufacturing public opinion against
himselt, who were witnesses to that inter
view.” This part cularly alludes to Sena
tor Chandler, who was “a witness to that
interview." But, in the language of
Shakspeare, when alluding to the charac
ter of the “inimitable Falstaff,” and bis
presumed prototype, I can only say that
“Sir John Oidcastle died a martyr, and
j this is cot the man!”
j In these extraordinary times it is very’
i difficult to keep pace with events. If the
| Chionicle be an “organ, ” indeed, then we
| may expect that the mountebanks con-
I trolling public affairs here will very speedi
j ly plunge the country into a war with
England. It a day or two ago sent to the
“Philadelphia Pnss,” one of the “two
dailies.” and afterward copied a dispatch
of the following tenor :
“The instructions for Minister Motley
are now in course ol preparation. They
wifi in effect, make the demands on the
British Government foreshadowed in Sen
ator Sumner’s recent speech on the Ala
bama question. Ex,-Attorney Generals
Evans and Cushing, who are thoroughly
posted regarding the history wf the negotia
tions, which have thus far resulted in
nothing, arc rendering valuable aid in their
preparation.”
Information lately received, and Upon
which I relied (aud do still rely) induced
me to think, and to write, that a some
what different programme has been mark
ed out. But nobody knows what a day
may bring forth, or how often the policy of
the Government may bo changed. L
quote the dispatch, therefore, not for the
purpose of either corroborating or gainsay
ing that portion of it which indicates what
General Grant intends to “ demand ” of
the British Government, but to call atten
tion to the remarkable disclosure made in
tbe concluding sentence.
It has been known here for more than a
month that Mr. Evartshad been, since his
formal dismissal, employed by the Govern
ment in the capacity of Supervisory At
torney General. The public expected some
such arrangement from the known incapaci
ty of the nominal incumbent, and no mur
mur of disapprobation was heard. The
appointment of Admiral Porter as the real
Secretary of the Navy was also admitted to
be necessary by a generous and “most en
during” constituency, because of the ad
mitted imbecility of the honorable head of
that department. It had been also a gen
eral understanding on all saides that "the
“Administration,” as a whole, was a little
weak. But that it should be authorita
tively announced that the Premier, Gov
ernor Fish, was an adjuged case of incom
petency to discharge the duties of his office
and that the “valuable aid” of others was
requisite in the opinion of the head of the
Government, was a thing not to be expect
ed by the most credulous and enduring of
the Radical party, especially as we are in
the context informed officially that the
whole negotiation is to be carried on ac
cording to tho plan ‘foreshadoioed in Sen
ator Sumner's speech on the Alabama
question.
Apropros! The Honorable Mr. Cushing

weighty matter of Butler’s great trial now

DOMINION OF CANADA !
The Annexation Sentiment on the Increase
Sensation over Senator Chandler's
Late Speech.
Montreal, April 20. —There has been
more ihan one private meeting of late for
the purpose of changing the form of gov
ernment of the New Dominion, the
question is annexation to the United
States or independence. The feeling is
growing broader and is more openly dis
cussed. Every day articles and letters ap
pear in the city papers. For the first time
openly a meeting on the subject face to
face is advocated.
There is a strong undercurrent, but no
body hitherto has had tho courage to
speak out. A movement in the direction
of’annexation is almost certain to make
itself manifest soon. The Hudson Bay
acquisition is creating much discussion.
But little is said or written openly, yet tho
fact of acquiring such a magaificent coun
try as the great- directing power in the
mode toward a change in the form of gov
ernment.
A considerable sensation is created in
certain circles by Senator Chandler’s
speech recommending tho surrender of
the |British North American Provinces
to the United States in connection with
the Alabama claims, and gives another
impetus to the annexationists. Mr. Sum
ner’s Alabama claims speech is copied in
full both by the English and French pa
pers.

The Recent Storm in St. Louis.—A
special dispatch, dated St. Louis, April
20tli, says :
About noon yesterday a heavy rain
storm, accompanied by lightning and hail,
passed over the city. While the merchants
were on Change the lightning struck the
Chamber of Commerce, passing through
the dome, damaging the painting slightly
and putting an end to the transactions for
some minutes. At 4 o’clock the most ter
rific hail storm witnessed for more than a
i quarter of a century burst over the city.
! The storm came from the West, and un
numbered panes of glass were broken in
i the windows on that side of buildings. All
: the hotels suffered heavy losses from this
cause. Skylights everywhere have been
completely riddled aud animmense amount
: of damage done to buildings.
The Catholic Church was struck by
i lightning, and the steeple a good deal
i shattered. Homeyers, Shaw & Elleard’s
| gardens suffered severe loss by breaking of
I glass in hot-liouse frames and injury to
j plants. The west side of the Republican
office had its forty windows literally riddled
with hail, causing the building to look like
a wreck ; 250 panes of glass were broken.
It is estimated that at least $20,000 worth
of glass was broken in the city.
It is said over one thousand street lamps
are broken. Bailey’s large menagerie
, tent, in the western part of the citv, was
1 lowered at the approach of the storm so
i that it formed in funnel shape, through
which fifty bushels of hail passed int o the
• arena. Terrific consternation was created
among the animal--, and it was with the
greatest diffieulty that the lions, tigers,
rhinoceros, and other animals wem kept
from bursting out of their cages in con
sequence oi the storm, though nope were
seriously ini area.
i wo lunerais up their way to the cemeter
ies were overtaken by the storm and the
horecsto both hearses ran away, overtum
r ing the vehicles, and threw both coffins
int i the street. The storm extended east
and west as fat as heard from.
Too Much of the Nigger.— lt is re
ported that Clay, the aristocratic "gem
mem of color ’ of New Orleans, appointed
Minister to Liberia, and Professor Rasuett
(colored), of Philadelphia, appointed
Minister to Haytf have 6ach declined the
honor. This is so very carious that most
people will ask why have these blacks "de
clined these high official distinctions. YVe
suspect that the true reasons are that they
prefer to stay am„u s white people; that
i they recoil from the idea of living in a
; community where there is nothing but
niggers; that for Clay there is too much of
1 the nigger in Liberia, and for Bas&ett too
much of the nigger in Ilayti. Even in
the old slavery times, between »L»vcry
with all its drawbacks in the Hotted States
and ireedom with ail its advantag s in
Liberia, there were many blacks who de
clined Liberia for this simple reason-
‘Don't want to go mass*., where here's
nubia Oat Diggers. ' Besides, in sending
the black man Clay, for ini-iance, to the
black Government of Liberia/Clay may
think, alter all ‘it is only putting me on a
; level with a nigger." iho to
' England would be a better thing. The
j United States nigger is as good as a white
man. and mast not, therefore, be picked
out as a nigger for Hayti or Liberia. -
! New York Herald.
Cotton (.ultlvatton In India.
We notice that earnest exertions are
being made in England with a view to the
extension of cotton cultivation in East In
dia. and those who have taken up the
matter are men of influence, and have prac
tical views and experience. They go at
the thing comprehensively and systemati
cally. aud if it were possible to achieve
complete success ceitainly they are the ones
to gain it. To-day they work upon Par
liament lor tue vote of increasing govern
ment aid ; to-morrow we hear of tnern at
Manchester, the grand cotton centre, with
its multitude of mills, looms and spindles,
and its indomitable cotton supply associa
tions ; and anon we see them in London,
before the Statist:cal Society, laying facts
and figures before grave and learned mem
bers, who are also connected with govern
ment in important capacities, and who are
ably informed of the vital part which this
■ same question of independent cotton sup
i j4y is hound to play in the future commer
| cial greatness of the pound kingdom upon
whose possessions the sun never sets, and
whose ships arc to be found in all the ports
j of the world-
Now that the nsw Ministry and the new
Commons are fairly started, we may lock
for just such a pressure upon them as was
brought to bear on their predecessors, ami
this is a matter about which wc cannot af
ford to be wholly indifferent, for the rea
son that tbe English people from the
Queen down, understand the important
! relations which this snbject holds to the
' Kingdom’s commercial supremacy, and
! the agitators of the Indian movement pos
sess the encouraging consciousness that
the Government is not insensible to the
value of their undertaking. No British
Ministry ever has been, from the time that
I factors laid the foundation of the national
pros erity in the cotton tiade by conceiv
ing the idea of buying all the raw article
they conld take, and become the manu
facturers of it themselves —which mtans.
according to the arithmetical principles ol
commerce and political economy, that the
grower gets a profit of one cent where the
manufacturer gets live. In this view the
idea must sugg of it «T, how much better
it is in a purely business fight to be the
latter than the former. England has rich
ly experienced this. Bet how infinitely
much better it is to be both, which the
L-nith can be and which we predut she
wifi be. We sincerely believe it ti be the
duty of Congress and of the North, East,
and We-tti aid her in completing this
Vital and magnificent-consummation. Give
her proper fi gfilition, capital, skill, rail
roads and -t jauiships, and we will see how
long it will t ike to drive the boastful
Brit in from all markets which henow holds
confident, of retention.
If we of the North would do o ml-fifth as
much for the South as England has done
for India respecting cotton, we would have
high results that would multiply and en
large as if by magic. Yet two hundred
and silty millions spent there by the
mother country upon railroads alone, de
signed to facilitate cotton transportation
to the seaboard, and all the other aids
which have been extended, are not suffi
cient, it seems, to satisfy the ambitious
aims of the cotton-traders.
It was only last month that a deputation
| of members of Parliament, members of the
| Chambers of Commerce, and others,
waited upon the Secretary for India in
London, and urged the policy of multiply
ing the agencies calculated to make India a
permanent and extensive cotton-growing
country. These gentlemen asked that the
means of irrigation, navigation and transit
be extended, and they undoubtedly will
be. The Duke of Argyll assured them, in
reply, that he appreciated the importance
of the object they desired, and that, he
would not be backward in lending his co
operation—that he had already sent out a
surveyor to make the necessary examina
tions, having ascertained that there was a
strong prima facia case in favor of the
project.
The upshot of the whole matter will be,
from present appearances, that Indian in
vestments for cotton extensions will be
stimulated to such a degree that they will
be doubled over the present total just
about the time that the South will put
forth from four to six million bales per an
num, and send out a respectable amount of
her own manufacture; or, in other words,
about the time that the plentiful, better,
and cheaper American cotton will drive
the Indian staple out of the market.

The South and the West.—Referring
to the Memphis Convention, next month,
and the objects it is designed to promote,
the Boston Post says: “The South is evi
dently about to start afresh on the race for
wealth and power. In the next ten years,
beyond a doubt, we Shall find that the fif
teen States which comprise the Valley
States, and whose interests are wholly
agricultural, will be the wealthiest portion
ol tho Union. * * The South is to be
come rich and prosperous by developing
immigration and laying hold of the great
assisting enterprises of the age: Estab
lishing direct commerce with, foreign ports;
laying the rails of an unobstructed road to
the Pacific; redeeming and securing rich
lands that are rendered valueless by in
undation ; encouraging the steady flow of
immigration, diversifying the objects of
industry to the largest extent; these are
the means by which that section of the
country is to become restored; and, once
being restored, to take its place in the
Union with the influence that legitimately
belongs to it. The west and the South
together, both being agricultural in their
fundamental interests, will very shortly
throw two-thirds of the votes in Congress ;
and then being backed by suoh material
prosperity and growth as the world never
before saw, it is not necessary to emphasize
the inference which so naturally follows.
A full Convention at Memphis on the 18th
of May will go far to develop a group of
facts iD the economy of the national re
sources which have never yet received that
attentive consideration which they so
strikingly deserve.”
\ Spain and the United States.— The
; Foreign Relations Committee have before
I them a lisf of five hundred and twenty
seven summary executions reported to
have been made by the Spanish authorities
on the Island of Cuba within the last three
and a-half months. This Mist is to ba most
diligently scanned—first, to see if it is en
tirely correct; second, to see if any Ameri
i cans are included in it. The list produces
great excitement, and even if Americans
are not found in it, ingenuity is aiding in
dignation to discover if the cruelty cannot
j be made the object of representation of
some sort or other. The rumors regard
ing contemplated expeditions from the
I United States to Cuba are not incorrect.
| A force of formidable dimensions is being
prepared. A prominent Western General
of Volunteers, is in command already, and
j attention is being diverted from the real
j port of embarkation by the publication of
raise places as intended, The real point
! has not been selected, but it will be neither
at New Orleans nor New York,
j This may be relied on. The last pro
! posal of the insurgent agents is that both
parties be allowed to buy arms and W—mu
nition in the States in epea market. There
i seems to b.a eg way of getting at this, un
; less it be allowed sub rosa, short of recog
nition. The initiative in recognition our
Government will not take, but the insur
, gents’ friends here aver that the ateamer
' expected from Vera Cru; at New fork to
morrow or day will bring news of the
recognition of the insurgents by Mexico
l and Begota, and that their act will be soon
followed by Chili, Colombia and Ecuador.
! This is what they say, and cf (ta truth the
arrival of advices psp at earner will soon
show one way cr other. It is certain that
insurgeai agents have been prosecuting
j efforts tor recognition in Mexico and in the
South American Republics for many weeks.

Ayer’s Sarsaparilla,
FOR PiRIFYOCr THE BLOOD.
The reputation this er
ceiient medicine enjoys,
> %. derived from its cures,
many of which are truly
marvei:.,u- ! .
cases of Scrofulous di.->
/( Ab(i case, where the system
seemed saturated with
S—■ corruption, have been
W&liS&L==£ purified and cured by it.
. ' Scrofulous affections and
disorders, which were ag
gravated by the scrofu
. . „ mus contamination until
they were painfully afllicting, have been radically
cured in such great numbers in almost every sec
tion of the country, that the public scarcely need to
be informed ot its virtues or uses.
• Scrofulous poison is one of the most destructive
. enemies of our race. Often, thi; unseen and unfelt
tenant of the organism undermines the constitution,
and invites the attack of enfeebling or fatal diseases,
without excitmg a suspicion of its presence. Again,
» ft seems to breed infection throughout the body, and
; then, on some favorable occasion, rapidly develop
into one or other of its hideous forms, either on the
i surface or among the vitals. In the latter, tuber-
I cles may be suddenly deposited in the lungs or
: heart, or tumors formed in the liver, or it show
; its presence by eruptions on the skin, or foul ulcer
| ations on some part of the body. Hence the occa
sional use ot a bottle of this tiarnnparillri in ad
! visable, even when no active symptoms of disease
i appear. Persons afflicted with the following com
-1 plaints generally find immediate relief, and at
length, cure, by the use of this SAHSAVA RIMj-
St - A l t Jh'' n V’** Fire, Rone or Erysipelas,
Tetter , Salt Rheum, Scald If end, Ringworm,
-^V eß * Sore Earn, and other eruptions or
visible forms of Scrofulous disease. Also in the
more concealed forms, as JJyspcitsio, Jironsu,
Heart Disease, Fits, Bpilcps,,, Xrurafgia,
and the various Vlccrous affections of the mu 1 u
lar and nervous systems.
Syphilis or Venereal and Mercurial Diseases
arc cured hy it, though a longtime i.- required for
subduing these obstinate maladies by any medicine
But long continued use of this medicine will cure
the complaint. le urorrhoa or Whites, Uterine
Ulcerations, and Female Diseases, arc com
monly soon relieved and ultimately cured t»v it*
purifying and invigorating effect. Minute Direc
tions (or each case are found in onr Almanac sun
plied gratis. Rheumatism and Gout, when
caused by accumulations of extraneous matters
in the blood, yield quickly to it, as also hirer
Complaints, Torpidity, Congestion or Ju/ium
mation of the liner, and Jaundice, when arising,
as they often do, from the rankling poisons in the
blood. This SARSAFA RILL A is a great re
storer for the strength and vigor of the system.
Those who are Rangnid ami TAsttess, Despon
dent, Sleepless, and troubled with Ferrous Ap
prehensions or Fears, or any of the affecti-uia
symptomatic of Weakness, will find immediate
relief and convincing evidence of its restorative
power upon trial.
