Hm Auguri* Chronicle of Tuaadty *o-
kaowtedg** that U wa* “mad* th« victim
of a very ailly boas” in pnblithing the
correepoDdePoe oa “cremation" to whioh
ve allnded yeeterday. Some unknown
pereon loneptltiooaly plaoed the m»nu-
aoript upon a deck in tha editorial room,
and tbanoa it want into thehandeof the
priatera without a anapMon that it bad
found ita way into the moat without the
knowledge of one of the editor*. The
Chronicle is indignant, and thraatena to
furaiah better oooupation for the author
if ha can be dieaovatod,. For oar part,
wo think the “aell” waa very well gotten
up, aad tha only thing mush objection
able about it waa the freedom with whiob
it aaed tha namaa of tha gentlemen from
whom tha let ten purported to com*
Tha publication of tha flotitione corres
pondence haeoalledfortb some good thinge
in reply. Ona oorreapondent pointedly re-
bukaa Oen. Sharnbn for the use of the
weed “rebellion” in hi* fabricated letter.
He eaye that th« aae of the word in ad-
draeairg Southern gentleman was obnoxi
ous, and (hat be mint have intended by it
toaarakau pleasant memoriae of his prac-
(lee of cremation in Georgia. Mr. S. F.
Webb, whoa* name is mentioned as one of
tha active participants In the “orematiou'
meeting, writes to tbe Chronicle that he
wee not tbe man—it was some other Webb,
whom he does not wish to rob of bis Ian
rale. He adds: '‘While cremation as to
the bodies of the saints may ba vary well,
yet I consider the indiscriminate burning
of tbs bodies of the sinners in this world
would be taking a mean and underhanded
advantage of the rights of his Hataaie Ma
jesty.”
Now, who else bad thought of that ?
AHUIIMI.
Tuesday's midnight dispatches give oa
soma idea of the strength and dispositions
of the foroes of tbe several parties at Lit
tie Rock. Brooks had at the State House
about two thousand men, mostly negroes.
They were addiog to their commissary
store* on Tuaaday, and hail communica
tion from the rear with other houses.
boat load of reinforcements for Brooks
were reported coming up the river from
Pine Bluffs, and Baxter's forces were
making arrangements to capture thorn.
Baxter had a much larger force than
Brooks, aad more support from the
whites. He was Mao in a position to
reoeive reinforcements more readily.
He wee said to be anxious to make an at
tack on the Brooks stroughold, and was
only prevented by the United Staten au
thorities and troops. 8omo apprehouHiou
was then felt that ba would make an at
tack in disregard of the Federal authority,
but our later dispatches of yesterday do
not sustain this expectation. Several
companies of United States troops were ad
vantageously posted at different {mints in
the oity, with oannon commanding Main
street. More Federal troops ware ex
pected on Wednesday morning, and it
was said that a knowledge of this fact
mad* Baxter more anxious to ond the af
fair by a eoafliot at once.
i. The bringing of good return ear-
goes would also enable the vessels en
gaged in the trade to taka eottoa at
cheaper irate*, and thus materially aid
the direct shipment of all cotton that goes 7 EJ
from Savannah to foreign porta, If «hro**k«K<k*iottk,
them wen no high Tariff, impaaiag on «•,*•« to wcbMltel
foreign goods dntiasao hi* aatb Many
ease* to amount to prohibition, and thus
compelling the South to buy the Northern
goods of the earns kind, H would bo an
easy matter to 8nd good return cargo**
forth* vassals that take cotton from
Savannah to foreign porta.
This extensive direct shipment of cot
ton from Savannah must explode the
argument that the South eaunot aril its
cotton directly to Liverpool a* advantage-
onaly as it could to New York. No mat
ter who owned most of the ootton expect
ed from Savannah and oaatiwJled it* fay
ment, this direct trade shows that come-
My profited by its going aeroes tha
Atlaatie direst instead of to New York.
The proceedt obtained la Liverpool may
In large proportion go to New York; but
this only ahowa that the New Yorker* are
doing for us what w* ought to do for our
selves, and could aaoro profitably do (at
ourselves, for they wuutfi not carry on
the exportation direct unless they mad*
or saved by it. What tb* ootton plantiag
interest moat needs now is the regaining
of the control of ite staple, from the plant
ing of the seed until tb* fiat reaches the
hand* of tbe manufacturer, aad every ad
vance in direct shipment indicate* a cor
responding gain in the control of the
orop by tb* South.

No irlnml Itnatp
“It’d mighty hard times, 1 toll yen."
Wa took a short walk yesterday, and thin
was the salutation wa board ona aaan give
another. The speaker was a tell man, in.
his shirt sleeves and e slouched hat, and
he stood holding in hi* strong hand n tops
attached to tho horns of a stunted juve
nile steer, that, with its consumptive lit-
tie oompanion, looked aa if tbe rope were
superfluous; for there was nothing more
foreign to their thought* or epirite than
running away. Thelittls shambling wagon
to whioh the attenuated cattle were hltehed
groaned in its oilleae joints under nine
stieks of green wood, unaplit beoaus* too
thin. Tbe wood looked like BngUah bop
polos, and the man who vowefl tha times
were bafdooUldhave'earHad tha load easily.
In tha back part of tha wagon, aaourad
by a strap, was a glacad earthtn jug with
a ooru cob stopper eupplemented by a
piece of red rsg. We did not wait to bent
more of the ital* platitude, but went on;
the sight of snoh teams, snob loads, suoh
man and auoh statements have bsoom*
too common to exoite comment. Late In
tha afternoon we eaw tbe teem again, go
ing home through the mod, rain and in-
creasing darkness. The driver had tea
glazed jug under his head, as ha lay on
the two planks that formed the wagon’s
bed. We do not know wbat the jug oon
turned, but whatever it was tha man bad giv
en all tha contents,he could,tn inside pae^
sage. Tha little steers bed visibly shrunk-
sn sines morning, looking, poor things,
as if they were gradually washing aw*y,
and longing for the job to be over. This
man was not a type of the yeomanry of
this lend. Unfortunately, it has no class
corresponding to the yeomen. He was a
poor, ingnorant white man, with a wife
aad a large family, no doubt, end he lives
in a wretohed one-roomed cabin, on n
piece of water-washed land, unknown and
unoared for, with no impute*, and no aid
to rise to a nobler life. “Hard Times!
Who are making them ? The poor wife,
with her little ones huddled about her last
uight, knew what brought "hard times'
to her wretohed abode, when the famished
brutes stopped, with hanging tongues, in
the darkness, and she heard tha oaths of
the greater brute as he staggered in with
the glazed jug in his hand.
“Hard times 1" says the man who never
did a stroke of earnest, honest work to
make them better. “Hard times !” says
tbe yonng man, too proud to labor with
the white hands whioh he folds as h*
waits for ohanoe to give him aa easy job.
“Hard times!” says the planter, at ha
begs the merohsnt to give him time for
tbe food he needs, and, paying 50 or 100
par oent. for his advances, he goes btok
over barbarous roads to an unoomfortable
home to bet his remaining time and
eredit on that gamo of ohanea—ootton,
“Hard times!” cries tha merohsnt aa
note* fall due and not one dollar of the
thousands owing him cornea in to meat
them. Yes the times are hard and tha
oanae lies at onr own door. Onr mer
chants are the slaves of Now York, and
onr farmers the vassal* of the merchants.
There is too little earnest, manly effort,
too many of heaven’s blessings to incite
to persistent labor. Six months from now
will tell the story, and the farmer who
from negleot is forced then to buy his
food, deserves all tha hard times it will
be possible to inflict.

VETOED 1WII AT NEXT?
Onr dispatches report that the Presi
dent has vetoed the bill passed by Con
gress authorizing an inoresse of the eur-
ranoy to §400,000,000 by the Treasury
and $400,000,000 by tbe National Banks.
Th* power of the money changers and
bondholder* has unquestionably induced
this interposition of tha Executive veto
to defeat tha demand* of a majority of
tlte people. Wa do not mean by this to
mak* Um offensive assertion that money
has boon directly Med to defeat tha
aaaiora. Bat it is apparent that the
great money and steak interest clamor-
lag against tt was too strong for tbs
Fraaidsat to resist. This interest has
bSSB active, importunate, threatening and
vigilant, while th# poorer olasses who fu-
vor an laoraaaa pf currency have been
mom qutot, though wo thiuk the sequel
will show that tkoy are equally oarnest
aad stronger in numbers.
It la now apparent that any measure
directly iaorsaaing the volume of the
onnanoy will be doomed to defect, for
thin was th* muueuun demand of the
mom currency party. The bill oannot be
pasted over the veto, for the majority in
ite favor in both house* wtt smell. It is
possible that Judge Kelley's “intercon-
vsrtfbls" bond scheme, or Gan. Gordon's
free banking proposition, may paaa snd
bo aeoopUblo to tho President; bat we
do not think this probable. Wo believe
that either of thorn wilt be oven more ob-
jactioneble to tho Wall atraat and bond-
holding internet* than tho bill jnst vetoed,
and will therefore share the same fate.
Bot the demand for an increase of
money will unquestionably continue and
intensify. It look*, now, as if it is to
bo tha great question to sever party tiea
and break party organisations—perhaps
creating sectional parlies inetoad of those
now exiating. We am satisfied that tho
interests whioh have eaoaed the defeat of
this bill will not be promoted by such a
reorganisation of parties, bat on tho oon-
trary will suffer for having poshed devo
tion to their own intonate to the extent
at antagonising too sharply the interests
of elsssei greater in numbers and equally
earnest whan aroused to a fight for the
prosperity of thtir own industries.
