• It Is with tho greatest pride we
learn that a bill 1h now before the
Georgia Legislature looking to a
proper tare of our wounded Confed
erate soldiers, and tho maintenance
of wMowb and orphans of Confeder
ate soldiers. This duty has too long
been neglected, and neglected not
for tho want of gratitude anti a full
appreciation on our part, but from
nil overdue regard to the pulsations
of the bitter Northern heart, This
plan has been thought of long years
ago, but men who were more cau
tious than brave ami open, opposed
It for fear It would hurt us at tho
North. This sort of boot-licking and
weukness has vanished and is num
bered among the things that wore,
und to-day Georgia holds up her
head and proclaims to the world that
she will recognize her dead and the
jieople of her dead. Him no longer va
cillates between fear of oppression
nnd right, but proclaims to the
world that we will assert our man
hood, showing a proper regard for
ourselvc s by jconsioning our soldiers.
And pray, why not? Does not the Fed
eral Government exi>erid the mon
ey paid in by the tax-pay
ers, and lavishly, too, spend it
in recognition nnd praise of the
Federal dead ? Are not their
soldiers all eared for at our expense ?
Why then should not Georgia have
the right to respect and revere our
dead, without being branded as
rebels, traitors, &c. The proposition
to pension them is right, nnd we
hope the noble gentlemen in tho
.legislature, will see to it that Geor
gia be bold enough to assort her self
respect, not caring whether or not
it suits the peculiar ideas of the North,
having a care only to tho constitu
tionality of the law. Georgia is fast
getting out of the debt Bullock & Cos.
placed upon her, and the mass of the
citizens are willing that some of the
resources of the State, shall go for
that purpose. The Confederate Con
vention which met in Atlanta a few
days ago, are the movers in this
great question, for the brave men
who met In that Convention, have
sworn to aid the Indigent and cripple,
and with their influence, will secure
to their wards, poor people, a compe
tency. They are the defenders of Geor
gia, and wo know she will guard and
protect thorn “through all time.”
Fiton the New York Herahl we
gather this condemnation of Grant.
They say: The military interference
at Vicksburg bus an exceedingly ug
ly look ufter the apologetic disclaim
ers put forth In the President’s Mes
sage. After the President had at
tempted to screen the Louisiana in
terference behind the assertion that
army officers are not lawyers, there
by making an implied admission that
they had overstepped legal limits,
(hey would naturally refrain from
taking any similar stop on their own
judgment and await, commands from
headquarters before venturing to net.
It is therefore important to know by
whose orders tho troops acted at
Vicksburg. Assuredly Gen. Emory
would not have dared, without a spo
eilio command, to disregard the Mes
sage aud make a practical denial of
its sincerity. It is incredible that
the orders in the Vicksburg case did
not emanate from Washington. No
body but the President himself
would have dared to thus stamp the
Message as a false disclaimer and a
hollow apology. And yet it will not
surprise us to And Senator Morton,
on some bright morning, excusing
the President on the ground that the
whole thing took place without his
knowledge.
We are obliged for such kindly no
tices as the following, and hopo the
good pooplo of Bullock will take the
Ledger, and subscribe also to a sound
democratic. pnjier tire Times.
If any of tho people of Bullock
county wish a good newsy paper,
published in Columbus, we unhesita
tingly recommend the Times as such,
send for si>ecimon copies. -Union

We are under renewed obligations
to Senator Gordon for a Congression
al directory, and to Hon. H. It. Harris
for speeches of Carl Hohurz and
others. Well do these gentlemen il
lustrate us in tlie National Halls, and
making for Georgia tho reputation
she enjoyed before tho war for intel
ligence aud refinement.
Gov. Taylor, (Republican) Wiscon
sin, delivered his message to the Leg
islature on Friday last. He says: “If
authority exist in any brunch of the
Federal Government for what appears
to be assumed by recent, proceedings
In the State of Louisiana, and in the
extraordinary proposals of the Lieu
tenant General of tho Army in his
dlßpatoh from Now Orleans, I be
lieve the tin}® lias come for us all to
bury partisan spirit in a common
effort for the preservation of our con
stitutional sovereignty, and the in
herited liberties of the American
people.”
The war of indl>endenoe in Cuba,
which has so often been declared at
an end by Spanish official accounts,
seems to have gained new life and
vigor. It is reported that the j>atri
ots are laying waste the dlstrot of the
Clnco Villas, west of the trocha, in
spite of the legionaries of Alfonso.
—ln the city of Oognac, France,
there is an establishment fitted with
an automatic indicator to guard
against fire. It is simply a thermom
eter so constructed that when the
mercury rises to a certain point it
starts an electric alarm, which rings
a bell in the proprietor’s quarters.
It provides ajminst fire as tho ordi
nary burglar alarms against thieves.

THE. COTTON SITUATION.
The Financial Chronicle views the
matter with one eye. Its estimate of
the crop of 1871 '75 seems to lie pretty
generally accepted by the financial
world as in the main correct.
Now, we cannot be accused of be
ing wortli more than a generous ex
emption law provides for us, yet we
will wager “our grand-uncle’s hat”
that the Financial Chronicle will miss
its estimate of to-day at least a half
million bales. Tho Chronicle argues
that the recent heavy rains retards
planters from marketing the staple.
To this, we say "correct;” for there
is but little left to market. Again,
the Chronicle says “this is less a credit
crop than any since the war.” We
beg leave to differ. It is more a credit
crop than any since the war, for every
factor and supply merchant who ad
vanced will tell you that the shadow
of Christmas had hardly passed away
before they were besieged on all sides
for credit. Business ojamed fully by
February Ist, 1874. The Chronicle ar
gues ; “Owing to the fact of its being
less a credit crop, &c\, the farmer
was better enabled to hold his cotton
for future price#.” Will the Chroni
cle now allow us to notify him of one
fact (and I call on all commission
merchants to sustain the trutli of my
assertion), that the credit of 1874 ’75
was the heaviest (according to prices)
ever Is 1 fore known to them, ami that
the amounts asked for by the planter
was consumed at or by the time his
crop was laid by, arid having exhaust
ed said amounts asked for, and hav
ing no other resources, supplies were
not issued to the hands making the
crop until tno cotton was marketed,
and nothing but cotton prevented a
general utarvatvm; hence it was witli
such unprecedented rapidity the crop
was marketed. The actual outlay to
the farmer in having to commence on
a credit so soon to make the crop, and
like the army worm, who devours the
vegetation around him, turns then to
devouring himself to prevent xtarra
tion—actual xlarcatton, which threat
ened every farmer’s
the .South. Wo say emphatically, and
every farmer knows it, that for a space
of two months (take the entire county
of RusselDthere was not two thousand
pounds of bacon issued as rations by
farmers to their hands. This was from
July Ist to tho latter part of August.
The reason evidently was because
of the planter’s inability to get fur
ther advances, lie having exhausted
tiie amount ho asked for from ids
commission merchant. Another rea
son may have been, in some instances,
the poor prospect for a crop. Tills
poverty did not belong alone to Rus
sell county, Alabama, for we con
versed with numerous planters from
other counties of this State, and the
States of Georgia and Mississippi. If
the farmers were so “flush” as the
Chronicle would have us think, why
did so many do without bacon for a
space of two months? And just here,
we would remind the Chronicle that
bacon is one of the essential elements
used in the culture of cotton, and
without which, u Southerns r does not
think he cun exist twenty-four hours.
The crop of 1871 ’5 was hypothecated
for food and fully covered by ad
vances by the time it was laid by.
The farmer to-day is poorer than lie
was two years ago, and with a less
prospect of help from his commission
merchant, the majority of whom have
carried the farmers as long as they
could —verging on towards bankrupt
ing themselves, in the novel experi
ment of butting against the wall. The
truth can bo summed up in a few
words. The farmer after (laying his
commission merchant had nothing to
eat and had to sell the whole of his
crop to enable him to pay up and buy
a morsel of meat and bread to eke
out a miserable existence until Feb
ruary next, when lie again seeks his
friend (the percenter,) without whose
assistance the farmer could not exist
at all.
Again, tlie Chronicle sees it in this
light, “In Louisiana, for instance,
the threatening asi>et of affairs lias
completely retarded operations.”
Now, is it not the hoight of folly to
think that n starving populace, such
as the average Southern planter,
would hold all lie has in this world of
worldly goods, to-wit, tiis cotton, at
home under his gin house, subject to
an incendiary’s torch? No, if such a
state of affairs exists in Louisiana as
we are taught to believe, is it not fair
to presume that tlie farmer hurried
off his crop as fast as gathered and
ginned, to prevent such demons from
applying the torch; then we argue,
taking “self preservation ns tlie first
law of nature,” that there is less cot
ton in Louisiana than any of the
Southern States, save, probably, the
State of South Carolina. We have a
brother who has recently written us,
under date of January 2d, “that from
actual observation, after having
traveled four months in Texas, that it
was the shortest cotton crop raised in
that State since the war, and
marketed more rapidly, owing to the
excellent condition of the roads.”
We can then safely say that the
“Financial Chronicle lias seen this
crop witli but one eye,” and that eye
had at least a cool $50,000 to balance
its financial vision.
FIRF..
On Saturday night, übout 10 o’clock,
tho kitchen of Dr. Grief Chambers
was burned to the ground, consuming
tho contents therein, and at one time
threatened the destruction of his
residence, which was more than once
on fire. Occurred near the residence
of Mr. Alexander McMukin, who ren
dered valuable services, assisted by
several of the oolored folks. The loss
is a serious one to Dr. C. in these hard
times.
About tho hour this fire occurred a
bright light was seen In a northeast
direction, which was evidently that
of a house on fire, as it only burned
about thirty-five minutes. A good
muny predicted the lire was 111 Co
lumbus.
StnCIIJE OF A VOI’NO FEMALE.
We wero informed by a Mr. Porter,
residing near Porter’s mill, on Hatch*
, echubbec creek, some four miles from
the “city,” that Miss Harvey,
daughter of the widow Harvey und
sister to Mr. Charles Harvey, aged
about eighteen years, committed sui
cide by drowning herself in the mill
pond of Mr. Hamp Porter, on Satur
day night. As to the aause of this
unfortunate stop we hear several re
ports ; one is that it was because she
, could not get employment. She had
made application to us, through a
small boy, on lust Saturday, and had
nlso made application to a great many
in the neighborhood, without success.
The deceased bore u good character,
and was industrious,and respected in
the community in which she lived.
We will probably get the facts to day.
