MONDAY, JI N K 13*
j^- r 3- Wo are very sorry to learn, that our
,l squib” about the gates to Monument Square,
lias been thought by some folks, exceedingly
disrespectful to our City Fathers, and lienee
improper. We say we are sorry to learn it, be
cause we are so entirely innocent of any desire
to be disrespectful, or indeed to wound feeling.
Wkatevef wo say of our City Council, must bo
taken in the spirit in which it is written. For
all the gentlemen of the Board, we entertain
feelings of high respect; for some of them, we
have such considerations of friendship as would
always deter us from being disrespectful to the
Board, for their sake, if for no other reason.
So far as we know, our joke (rather n poor one
at that) has not offended the Aldermen them
selves, and we shall therefore not trouble our
selves to “ cxplanify.”
We will take this occasion, however, to state,
that wo have never at any time wished, or in
tended to wound the feelings of our City Comi
cal, We have at times exercised such wit ns wo
have, at their oxpense, but it has been as public
characters, and not as individuals, that wo have
occasionally winged an arrow at thorn. Wo
would not for any consideration, abuse the privi
leges which it is our fortune to possess as an
editor.
Finally, and for the benefit of meddlers, wo
beg leave to say, that wo intend to do as we
please, without consulting, this one’s ta.-te, or
that one’s notion of propriety. Wo shall allow
nobody to dictate to us, what is right and what
is wrong, though we are always willing to
hearken to counsel, whenever it comes from a
good motive and a proper quarter. We shall
write as duty and pleasure dictate, and if the
the worst comes to the worst, wo shall not shirk
the responsibility. Thus much in defence of
ourself, against our inclination. We have only
written what we have, because, though wo are
willing enough to too the mark when necessity
demands it, wo are not willing for meddling
busy-bodies to distort our motives, and make
“ mountains out of molehills,” to our detriment.
Boat nml Rail.
The history of railroading and steamboating,
for the last twelvemonths, in the United States—
replete as it is with many a sad story, and
crimsoned leaf—in the amount of destruction
to life, limb and property, which it exhibits, is
without parallel. No other year’s record, since
steam became the willing servant of man, is so
dark and fearful as this. It is strange that it
should be so! Strange, that among so many
new inventions for the benefitof mankind, there
should be none for the protection of life—
strange that so many thousand busy brains and
toiling hands should be at work day and night,
to make life easy, comfortable and luxurious,
and yet none bo toiliug for the extension of
that life by surrounding its frailty with guard
and check. Such is a first view of the subject.
But inventions are not so much needed for this
great purposo. Guard and cheek are truly to
be desired iu the form of machinery; but they are
not so much wanted there, as in the minds and
conduct of those to whom life is daily entrusted;
and even with the best guards of the former
kind, life, without the latter, would bo scarcely
less insecure and uncertain, prudence, fore
thought, care, unwearying vigilance would still
bo imperatively demanded at the hands of pub
lic servants.
Matters have come to that pass, when it be
comes the duty of governments and law-makers
to interpose their authority. It is a plain caso
that Railroad and Steamboat Companies are
not to bo deterred by considerations of interest
from running the greatest hazards. Though thorn
selves greatly the losers by every death which
they cause—though their own property is mado
to suffer bj r almost every accident, such is the
spirit of this age, such the impatience of the
time, that all othor considerations are sunk and
forgotton in the grand ono—to mnko time.
Nor aro corporations much to blame for this.
Why should they pursue a policy seemingly so
adverse to their interests? Thero is but ono
answer to this. It in demanded of them by those
whom they serve. It would seem therefore that
legal protection is actually required for the
benefit of pooplo who will not protect them
selves.
Wo aro very glad to know that government,
State and Federal, begins to recognize the ne
cessity for its interposition. Some of the States
have been moved to pass laws which look to a
euro of the evil, and Congress has passed a
Steamboat act, which in time may indaco habits
of carefulness and prudence. Corporations, it
is said, have no souls, —but they hnve pockets;
and it is to the pocket that some of those laws
passed by the Stato governments have appeal
ed, It seems to us, however, that a more gen
eral andcompleto system of protection is need
ed; and needod at once. The State of Illinois
has passed a law, which imposes a penalty of
$5,000, for every life destroyed by Rail. Wo
suppose, of course, that palpable negligeneo has
first to be proved upon tho Agency, by which
j life is destroyed, before it is made to incur the
I penalty.
But is it sufficient that every life lost, should
; cause tho Company destroying it, to be mulcted
jin damages of $5000? Assuredly not. Every
accident occuring through gr or?, or evident
negligence, should bo visited with punishment,
whether life or limb ho destroyed or injured.
Because, by mere good lack, nobody is killed or
injured by a “run-off,” an “explosion” ora
“collision,” it does not follow that a corpora
tion’s servants have been tho less quilty. There
, should be a heavy fine imposed for every acci
dent, whatever its issue, happy or unhappy,
! which can be shown to have occurred through
neglect, nr want of due precaution.
There should also be penalties for injuries to
limb as well as to lfe. There should be a scale
of prices by which men could know exactly and
i certainly tho remuneration for bruises, broken
) collarbones, legs, arms,—for dislocations, and
, contusions. No argument is necessary to do
j monstratc the correctness of this view of the
j subject. Tho siniplo and single fact, that pas
sengers by boat and rail arc paid for the loss
j of their baggage, at once, and conclusively
j shows that far heavier losses should claim due
indemnity. What is a trunk or a carpet bag,
or gold or diamonds compared with a limb, or
with one’s personal appearance, and health?
AI any a passenger who csc-apos with life, is
doomed to bear through that life, maimed limb,
and aching member always aching and to ache,
or features horribly disfigured. In so far then
ns it is possible to indemnify passengers for
such grievous loss and injury, and iu so far as
it is possible L lessen the chances of such loss I
and injury occurring! it is tho duty, and the
solemn duty of government to extend its pow
erful aid.
Wo sincerely trust that the next Congress
will duly nppi‘ci.Uo and consider this subject
arid that among tho measures passed by it,
will be ono, efficient and stringent, for the pro
tection of the public who travel by boat aud
rail.
Medical lie form Convention.
This body assembled iu ibis town on last
Wednesday, and continued in session two days.
There were twenty-three members of the pro
fession in attendance. Their deliberations were
marked by harmony and great zeal in the cause
of Medical Reform, by which wo are to under
stand the substitution of the Botanic system
for tbe “Poison” system as the Reformers are
pleased to term it, that has been long in vogue.
Reform! Progress! Wo would by no means
be understood as condemning the Medical Re- i
formers. There is much iu their theory and |
practice worthy of adoption; but wo would not, ;
therefore, reject in toto, or in any of its parts,
the system now practised by the disciples ol’
Hippocrates and Galen, nor adopt as a whole !
the Botanic system in lieu thereof.
Our engagements prevented us from attend
ing the deliberations of tho Convention and tho j
public lecture of Prof. Paukston of the Southern
Botanic Medical College of Georgia. As we ■
have been informed, the proceedings were quite
interesting and the lecture instructive. The
Convention adjourned to meet in Chester dis
trict in August next, on a day to bo hereafter
designated.— [Xewherry S. C. Sentinel.
jffj” Miss Fredrika Breomcr, having been
misrepresented by tho press at largo, as to her
views on the slavery question, we give tho fol
lowing from an exchange paper;—
Miss F’rederika Bremer, of Ewedori, whose
charming fictions imvo been road by so many
millions of people in the old world and the now,
and whose visit of a year or more to the United
States and Cuba is so well remembered here, is
about closing her book on the Western world.
In a letter dated at Stockholm iu April, sho
says shat M”s. Stowe’s book is much read in
Sweden, but though a warm opponent of Sla
very, she does not approve of its method of
treating tho subject, or of tho general scope of
the book. She expresses the hopo that what
sho has honestly written of tho subject will not
lose her tho good opinion of her friends, some of
tho best of whom sho acknowledges to have
found at the South.
England and Cotton.
The dream of Great Britain fur the last quar
ter of a century lias been the cultivation of Cot
ton in her colonies in sufficient quantities to
render her independent of America. With this
view, sho has expoudod millions in fruitless ex
periments; has imported, tho seed of the finest
varieties of tho plant; has paid liberal amounts
to practical planters, and has by turns tried tho
culture of Cotton in various sections of her vast
West India possessions, and in tho Southern
coast of Africa. It would seem that a fatality
attends these efforts, for with tho ingenuity,
skill, and lavish expenditure which England lias
wasted, her success has been so scanty as to
make it apparent that the Southern Slates of
our Union yet remain without a rival in this d* -
partment of agriculture and labor. Although
in many portious of the immense colonial ac
quisitions of Great Britain it is absolutely cer
tain that thoelimatejand soil arc nearly identical
with those of the Southern States, one or two
indispensable elements are wanting, without i
which sho cannot hope to compete with us. Tho !
most important of these is probably slave labor ‘
—and by this wo do not merely comprehend j
that enforced, regular and compulsory system
of toil which our domestic institutions enable us |
to apply—but particularly that species of labor,
which, from tho physical organization of those j
by whom it is accomplished, can b>* performed j
without injury to health, and with positive ease *
and comfort, in tho midst of the fervid rays of a |
tropical summer sun. This is a consideration
which is frequently overlooked, but which is I
almost conclusive of tho argument. Thus, for
example, in the East Indies. British enterprise
may command tho languid sinews and reluetaut
labor of her coolies; but admitting tho favora
ble circumstances of locality ami temperature,
such labor can neither be as constant, as harm
less, as productive, nor as cheap as that of our
slaves. The same argument may be extended
with equal force to the Capo of Good Jlopo. An
equal amount of effort will not givo tho results
we witness on our own cotton plantations, and
if the description of cotton obtained turns out
really as good as that of America, it is dearer,
and will not bo purchased by the manufacturer
and consumer, when they can procure it from
the boutli at a loss price. AVo are fully con
vinced, therefore, that the hopo of Great Bri- ■
tain to break down American slave labor, an l
shako off tho shackles which her commercial
dependence on tho United Btatcs has thrown
around her, will prove but a delusive chimera
—such stuff'as dreams aro made of.
These remarks are called forth by an article
in a London journal, which urges vehemently
the importance of attending to tho culture of
cotton in Australia, as tho grand desideratum of
the day. “Tho maniacturors of England,” says
this British sheet, “have boon anxious t > get a
supply of cot toil from some other soureo than
the United States; for considering Jim prorari
ous nature of our political relations with Amer
ica, and tho somewhat inflammable tempera
ments of some Americans, it must always bo re
garded as an insecuro dependence for such an
important article as cotton wool.
In tho Australian colonies, England is pre
sented with ample means for getting rid
of its dependence on American lor cotton.”
j It might perplex the London journalist if ho
I were required to substantiate this last assertion
In the broad extent of Australia, spanning u
continent from its Northern to its Southern ex
tremity, there arc undoubtedly hundreds of
miles ft fertile territory admirably adapted for
* lie production of cotton. But the difficulty
presenting iself upon the threshold of the in
quiry is, who is to cultivate tlm cotton fields?
j Tho labor is wanting, and years would bo re
quired beforo such an amount of manual 4 ex- :
; ortion could be concentrated in the* cotton rc
i gion ns would suffice to supply England with
| half the number of bales sho annually imports
, from America, But supposing that this tro
| mendous obstacles were overcome—granting
what is next to impossible, that Australia wa
! actually made to produce p million bags of
cotton per annum, we would like our sanguine
friend ol the London Journal of Commerce to
answer two queries: lirst, at what compensation
in tho Nvago of bibor could this production bo
obtained, and secondly, what would lie the dif
ference in the freight, and consequently in ti e
cost of tho article to the manufacturer, between
i the importation of cotton into England, seven
b'en thousand nulcs from Australia, nr five thou
sand from New . Orleans? When Great Britain
; shall have discovered tho secret of diverting
the immigrants from the pursuit of gold, and
| of inducing them to plow tho field, plant the ;
. seed, pick the cotton, Ac., at a price npproxi
: mating to that of slave labor; and when, by :
improvements yet unknown in tho art of navi
gating. sho will have found means to import
Australian as cheap us American cotton, it will
* lie time for her to speak of getting rid of her
| dependence on us. Until that period shall
t arrive, our sometime mother, though never ar
dent friend, Great Britain, must content her-
I self with waxing wealthy on the product of
Southern slave i:i liHtry:miugrc,our inflamma

Progrchs of Alan kind.
Th>* immense strides in progress which civil
| i/.ed men have made within in the last twocon
! turies, are really incredible, until tho subject is !
thoughtfully considered. Vet we do not exag-
I gerate when wo say that a journeyman me
chanic, in the present day, lives substantially
; better than a nobleman did four centuries ago.
1 There still survives si household book, kept lv
one of the great Dukes of Northumberland,
which leaves no doubt on this subject. From
that volume we learn that his grace breakfasted j
<-n ale and herrings, dined usually on boiled i
beef, ami was ns ignorantat supper of the lux- I
ury of tea or eoll'oe as he was, in his household
furniture, of carpets, sofas, or hair mattresses.
In tho Boston letters, written about the mid
dle of the fifteenth century, wo have further
evidence of tho almost incredible want of phy
sical comforts among the upper classes. The
Duke of Norfolk of that day, one of the great
est of English nobleman, was often in need of
the smallest sums of money, while persons of
less exalted rank had frequently tojsubinit to the
| greatest privations for want of a few shillings.
: The richest, men in the land dressed pooaer,
| were lodged more rudely, and ate coarser food
in those limes, than any industrious mechanic
;of our own. Even as lute as Queen Elizabeth's
reign, the royal floors were covered with rushes
! instead of carpet. When Philip tho Second,
| consort of Mary, Elizabeth’s sister,visited Eug
i land, his courtiers wrote back to Spain that the
I people lived in huts of nettles and mud, and
slept on logs for pillows.
For much of this progress the civilized world
is indebted to the use of machinery. Cotton
; cloth, which once had to he spun and* wove by
| band, and which consequently costa high price,
is now produced, by machinery, at six cent a
yard, and pays a profit. By the aid of machin
ery cue man can now perform what once requir
; od thirty; and the time saved is so much clear
gain, to be devoted to increasing either the
physical comforts or the intellectual improve
ments of the race, or both. Twenty years ago
even it would, have been impossible to have
printed the edition of tho Ledger in the entire
iweuty-four hours by any press then known;
and the result would have been and was that
not one family in a hundred could afford to take
a newspaper. And wlmt is true of printing,
and of tho manufacture of cotton cloth, is true
also ot nearly every other necessary of our pro
seut physical or intellectual life.
It is to tho increase of machinery and its im
provement that wo look for tho real elevation
of mankind. Every hour saved in this way
from unavoidable labor redeems man, so far
forth, from tho slavery of living to exist, and
enables him to cultivate t tho higher facul
ties of his mind and soul; to rise, in a word, to
tho true dignity of manhood. If in two ccntur
ries the journeyman mechanic has overtak
en the noble, what greater triumphs may wo
not look for in tho centuries to come. Tho
progress of mankind, indeed, has only begun.—

Evils of Capital.
There is such a tondoney in a portion of wlnvt
is colled tho “reform press” ol the U. Statos
to decry tho “ evils of capital,” and t* abuse
*• capitalists,” that a large class has really come
to regard all capitalists as necessarily the ene
mies of all poor people. It is a great mistake,
and a great folly. .
What is “capital?” There is no magic or
mystery about it. It is nothing but hoarded
labor. It is tho result of all preceding labor of
which tho individual, whether honestly enough,
has somehow or other come into possession. It
represents past labor; and by tnac fact it be
comes the remuneration of present toil. All
money is but a conventionalism to indicate to us
[ that so much toil lias, by somebody or oilier,
been already expended; and the party possess
; ing money is recognised by society as having a
! property iu the fruits of the labor which wa.. so
j expended. Bo accordingly, from the very oar
! liost times, the need of such a medium as money
1 lias been felt. Tho precious metals have no
’ particular intrinsic worth, yet have on various
I accounts, tho recommendation of commerce for
1 tliis purpose. As to intrinsic worth, ts any one
, were left, like Robinson Crusoe, on a desolate
i island, ho would find a hatchet ofirou a much
more valuable tool than one of gold or silver.
But tho proportion in which those metals are
found, and a variety of circumstances, have,
from an early stage of the history of mankind,
recommended them for this purpose. They w ere
used even boloro Governments coined them for
money, by weight, as a medium of exchange.
Nor is this tho only form of capital, it ex
ists also in the facilities for labor formed by its
means, or which may bo formed directly by the
agency of labor itself—in buildings suitable for
carrying on different operations, tho machinery
which is necessary in multiplying the power
1 of thoso who toil, or in cheapening ihe com
modity they produce. The moment that la
bor realizes more for an individual than he
deems needful for present consumption—tho
; moment ho begins to put something by, and ‘
applies that to tho production of other re
’ suits —from that time he has capital in the
world, nml ho would have it though there
wore bnt ono man upon tho earth, and ho him
self toiling day and night. Whatever he puts
by as surpras to facilitate future operations,
| that, strickly and properly, is capital.
The Indian who is disabled for tho chase, but
who has a bow and arrows which ho lends to
another in order that ho may bring him homo
a portion of tho game ho kills, in a capitalist,
t The farmer who may have no cash in his pock
: et, but has a loaf and a plough, and who finds
| a man w illing to drive thatplvugh on condition
| that he may eat the loaf, he is the capitalist in
the labor market, and the ploughman is his
customer. Bkill aud strength are capital; they
are tho result of years of exertion, which lias
i kept the muscular system in order. Bonesund
| brains are capital as truly as miles of dock and
i warehouses, fleets of ships, towering factories,
! or piles of gold. So that, strictly speaking,

MODEIt AT E—IMPARTIAL*—IN DEPENDENT— JUST.
thero is no person in tho world but ‘is or may
boa capitalist, although ho may boa laborer
at tho same time; and it is only iu a broad,
rough way that we draw the line of distinction,
leaving on one side of it the great muss of those
who toil, and on tho othor side of it, those who,
l y their possession of sufficient means, take to
themselves or have bestowed upon them, in a
popular way of speaking, tho title of capitalists. I
The relation between them is constituted by tile
payment of wages. It is a bargain between
t lie one and the pther, in whatever form it may
pass, whether merely for food, tqothing, and
shelter, or for the largest money remuneration.
We see, then, that this thing called “eapitai.” j
which the “progressive” journals of the day
would have us, believe is such a very wiz aid
and devil, is nothing but preserved labor, with
out which there could bo no reward for present
toil beyond the immediate supply of man's
physical wants. Like all other grant blessings,
it is liable to great abuses in the
men. but to talk of destroying it on that account
would belike proposing to cut oft'a man’s legs j
to rid him of a heavy pair of boots. What says i
i our Socialist neighbor of tho Tribune to that? j
