THURSDAY.... .APRIL 23, 1874. »M SCBCCEiniOl RECEIVES Cl LEX* PAW VOX II UTUO, A IOAX I 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.

JOHN B] 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.

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. minor upmtatioi.
