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 ble temper” ami the precarious nature of her political relations with us.—.V w Org ans lice. 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.— J , hilailefjdi in Ledger. 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, SAVANNAH, MONDAY AFTERNOON, JUNE 13, 1853 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.
