We conclude that the Vii'giniau and j
the Chronicle arc agreed oil this one |
proposition : "That the right of a I
State, to secede from the Union" is j
still a fundamental doetrine of the I
Democratic party. Would it not tie j
much wiser to elect a statesman who
honestly believes that the President
has the constitutional right to use the |
whole power of tho nation to preserve
the Union, to defend the constitution, i
and to enforce the laws throughout I
tlie Republic?-' Washington Chronicle.

In view of the fact that the fr<>et of
the Ids! feSv days must have killed a
largo quantity of cotton, wo suggest
to the planters not to plough up tho
cotton beds and replant as is so often
done. There is probably enough
seed left to make a “stand,” and the
last seed to-oome up Is apt to be tho
soundest unless the ground has been
"packed” by heavy rains. This is
owing to the fact that the meet de
fective seed are less protected by the
“hull, and hortoe come up first. If
a half stand Is scoured, instead of re
planting the whole crop, drop fresh
seed, eithenqf corn or cotton, in the
missing places. We have adopted
this plan successfully.

the most favoralo sign for the far

the supply of guano bought by the

demonstrated that a small crop of

as the demand is imperative for a

Our readers need not be reminded
that all the recent lwlitieal legislation
of Congress affecting the South rests
upon a dlsputod construction of the
clause with which each of the amend
ments to the constitution concludes,
that “the Congress shall have power
to eid'jrqp this article by appropriate
legislation. Lynchburg Xen-n.

Journalistic error*.
We allude to tho W>mmoa'j>raeil©c
en tho portpf jounvfltsts uftondemn
people for not readnig or advertising
in newspapers. In this case, as in all
others where legislation does not pre
vent it, the law of supply and demand
must rule. There Is no more sense
In asking a man to rend wlmt you
write than there is in asking him to
stay and listen to a conversation in
which you arc the leading talker and
he t!*o gored ox or borod listener,
i Advertising, too, is a mere matter of
business, and there is no more justice
in blaming a man for not advertising
than thero is for a merchant to find
fault with all the passers-by who fail
to purchase his wares.
Demonstrate your capacity to write
in such a manner as to interest peo-
I pie and you will gain a largo number
of subscribers; gain a large number
of subscribers and liberal advertising
patronage will certainly follow. The
only reason why advertising is not
as generally done in the South as in
the North is because there is not the
same necessity for it, nor profit in it.
Each business man knows his own
business better than his neighbor
can, and It is to be presumed can de
cide for himself. “Let another praise
thee and not thine own lips.”
When our agricultural journals
will induce our people to diversify
their mode of farming this wilt give
j to them a very large advertising pat
ronage, owing to the necessity on tin
pan of the breeders of fine stock and
producers of choice seeds to make
these facts known. Northern agri
cultural journals are not equal to the
Georgia Cultivator, hut our devotion
to one striple culture prevents an
equal share of advertising patronage.
It is immaterial where a journal is
located in a State if accessible by
rail and telegraph, so far os State ad
vertisements are concerned. That
journal which possesses the most in
fluence will certainly win the greatest
support from tho public. Neither
wilt a journal that is acceptable to
tho people be allowed to fail, just ns
it is almost impossible fora strictly
honest man to fail so completely ns
not t<> bo nble to rise; again.
WHITELAW REID.
We give below a brief biography of
the editor of the Now York Tribune,
in order to illustrate the charac
teristics of successful journalism—a
profession which is no longer the
"fourth estate”:
(ConUuiiHi'd from Scribner's Magazine.]
Wliltelaw Reid was born in Zonln,
Ohio, October, 1837. He graduated in
1850, with tho “Scientific Honors,” at
Miami University. At the age of
twenty ho bought the Zenia New*,
and for two years led the life of a
country editor. He edited the New s
with so much vigor that its subscrip
tion list was doubled in a short time.
In 1800 he advocated tho election of
Mr. Lincoln, though he wus a warm
friend of Mr. Chase. Reid now rest
ed upon his homestead farm until the
winter of 1800 ■'in, when he wont to
Columbus, Ohio, to try his fortunes
as legislative correspondent for tho
press. Ho effected an engagement
with the Cincinnati Times to furnish
a daily letter for five dollars per week.
In a few weeks came a request from
the Cleveland Herald for a daily let
ter for a weekly salary of fifteen dol
lars, which offer was promptly ac
cepted. Lastly, the Cincinnati Co
lette made a similar request, with the
[offer of eighteen dollars per week,
I lie undertook these three engage
, merits, and at the close of the session
the dinette offered him tie- post of
city editor, which he accepted.
When McClellan wus sent to West
I Virginia, Rciit started for hcadquar-
tors as war correspondent. He acted
as volunteer aid to Oen. Morris, and
iHigan his famous series of army let
ters over the signature of "Agate.”
In 1861 '62 ho went to Fort Donelson
and recorded the Tennessee cum-
I-oign. His masterly description of
I the battle of Pittsburg Landing oc
j copied ten columns of the Gazette.
Jlt wnn copied by the Ht. Louis and
Chicago papers, and made for him a
I national reputation.
Mr. Reid went to Washington in
I the beginning of 1862. He was now
offered the management of a leading
St. Louis newspaper. Learning this,
the proprietors of the Ornette gave
him an interest in that paper at a fair
price, allowing him to pay for the
same out of the profits; the latter,
for the lirst year, amounted to two
thirds the post. He was appointed
Librarian of the House of Represent
atives, which position he kept until
1866, when he resigned. Mr. Chase
j heartily commended him to Senator
Wade, Henry Winter Davis, Horace
Greeley and other eminent men. His
books entitled “After the War” and
"Ohio in the War” are remarkable
achievements, considering the time
employed to write them. In 1868 he
resumed his jnm as Washington cor
respondent of the Gillette. Mr. Gree
ley then offered him a situation on
the Tribune. His success since then
has been unexampled. He overthrew
Greeley's slip-shod system, and made
an organization so perfect in its sys
tem of division of labor, and of re
sponsibility bearing upon heads of
departments, that the complex duties
of the office went on with half the
jar and rumble of old times. Capital
wus fredy placed at his disposal, and
he was enabled to obtain complete
control of the Tribune.
In 187:1 Mr. Reid delivered an able
and mature production entitled "The
Scholar in Polities,”setting forth the
obligation incumbent upon men of
culture to take an active interest in
the practical issues of the day.
Brooklyn Pulpit Oratory.
Mr. Beecher has a famous rival in
Brooklyn In the person of the Rev.
Talmnge, of the "Tabernacle.” Sen
sational preaching seems to be the
sin* ( #twt of that delectable city.
Mr. Talraage's text on communion
Sunday was “Brooklyn or Sodom?"
He styles the Brooklyn scandal the
“corpse of abomination, vaster in its
bllght tjian Sodom ever knowthe
city niltls a thorough fumigutiou”—
"wlllsotnobody burua mg." [Laugh
ter.] “Tho trial Is hell-broth daily
j served up in twenty-three feet of
| printed pollution.” “Kick the infor
i ual stuff out of your house.” [Ap
plause.] “Where is ftod, tiint He
j comes not out from His hiding place
for tho defence and salvation of this
I grout metropolis?”
j Contrast this with the words of
Christ and His Apostles. Wo are
glad to be able to say that there Is no
religious community within the
bounds of the Southern States that
would countenance tills style of pul
| pit oratory. If the Rev. Talmage had
been conscientously opposed to Reech
cr's style, ho would neither have wait
! ed until tho trial had progressed near- j
i lyto completion in order to denounce
the press, nor would lie have used |
such expressions. We think it highly
probable that tho Rev. Talmage went
Ito sec the Can Can, and will yet
i preach against it.
In the late published interview of
Gen. Gordon with a reporter of the
Atlanta Herald, ho mentions that he
had a letter from the celebrated law
yer, Win. M. Evurts, of Now York, in
which he says: “I do not think there i
are ono hundred men in this country
who realize how near we are to a com
plete change in the form of our gov- j
eminent.” Mr. Evarts is no alarm
ist, nor partisan. He is a moderate i
Republican in politics, but a wise and j
pure amn. When stieli a person nt- ■
tors such an opinion, there must be
something in it. -Augusta Cwirtitu
tionaHst.
Them is (i great d'-ui in it, and it
means a gigantic struggle next year
for the balance of power. There is a
large party in the North who are thor
oughly imbued with such dangerous
logic as that taught by the Washing- j
ton Chronicle, a sample of which we j
give elsewhere.
Years ago, the New York public sus
tained a paper styled “The Imperial
ist,” which directly advocated the i
Empire as the host form of govern-;
ment for this country. The old con
stitution has been invaded by the
Radicals under the banner of “might
makes right” as to be hardly recog
nized.
To return to sound Jeffersonian De
mocracy, or to steadily advance to
wards centralization until State lines
will disappear from the map, seems
inevitable. Compromises have been
failures from the Missouri compro
mise to the Wheeler compromise in
Louisiana. Louisiana is now but a ’
province, and unless the Radicals arc
hurled from power, Massachusetts i
will, at no distant day, lie practically |
in tho same condition. The coming |
despotism, if successful, means the
concentration of power and property
in the hands of the few ; the practical
transformation of States into coun
ties, and an autocratic military gov
ernment under the name of a Repub
lic.
Civil
What, is a “Civil Right ?” It is a
right which a man enjoys us a citi
zen. Life, liberty, and the pursuit
of happiness aro among sueli rights;
but it is not necessary to a man’s ex
istence that he should put. uti at the
Fifth Avenue Hotel; it is not the
condition of his liberty that ho
should attend tho opera, and it is by
no means essential to his happiness !
that he should drink wine at tne bar |
of tlie St. Nicholas. For contra, it
may be necessary to the existence of j
a barber that tie should wait upon
those only whose patronage he de
sires; it is certainly necessary both
to his liberty nnd happiness,
i We gain little if while eimuieiput
i ing one class we enslave anonief.
j Particularly in all matters of trade,
fussy limitations and petty restric
tions are irritating, because men feci
| them to bo unpnilosophieal. It is
j hard certainly that a man should be
refused accommodation at an inn on
account of his complexion. But
white men are constantly refused
lodgings for leas reasons'- because
tho gentlemanly clerk does not like
their appearance; because they lire
shabby and have no baggage - be
cause all the rooms are reserved for
favorites of the house, who at the'
moment may ho many hundred
miles away.
These are hardships and indeco
rums which the law will hardly
roach, and when a white man is re
fused admission to one inn, he us
uully swallows his wrath and seeks
another. At common law, he may
bring an action, but no one ever
thinks of such a resort. In the long
run, landlords nnd barbers, and the
atrical managers will have matter
their own way, and this is simply be
cause the number of those who
will cure to annoy them will
prove exceedingly small. Informers,
making a profession of informing,
never thrive in this country. As for
the civil rights of H to compel A to
trade w ith him, it doesn’t exist by
law of nature, and it ran never have
a healthy existence under the law of
i the land.
! If any one supposes that in making
these remarks we are actuated by pre
judice, he is very much mistaken. We
tiiivo advocated, and intend to advo
cate, perfect equality before the law;
and while law is law, we heartily ad
vise everybody to obey it. At the
same time wo know that them art'
wise and foolish, practicable ami im
practicable, necessary and unneces
sary laws; and while large bodies of
; representatives receive handsome sal- i
j lines for enacting new statutes and
: amending old ones, the supply, to
suy the lensf, will be quite equal to
i the demand. Add to thi- that law
: manufacturers are not without exeep
j tlou philosophers, and it will be up
luirent that repeal will be quite as
much the business of legislature, as.
enactment. V. Y. Tribune.

It is one fit the boueftcont alms of
modern dnuneCs to bring together
tho imti.um, and to bind distant peo
ples Into one, so as to utilize all
their resources and to develop and
ieconomize their productive powers.!
Just as in the human body the vital i

I admirably shows in his recent pam
j phlet on the French indemnity that
■ each of the commercial nations of
I Europe contributed its share and
i participated in tho work of transfer
: ring the heavy war tine extorted
j from Franco by her successful rival,
i Asa more familiar illustration of the j
I same truth we may point to the in- j
terest awakened here by the panics [
which have happened in Germany,!
and have been apprehended in other j
Continental money markets. The
fact is that Europe has not only in
vested many hundreds of millions in
American bonds during the past ten
years but is likely to invest during
the next ten years as much more,
though perhaps with better judgment
and more lucrative returns. In this
anticipated current of capital from
Europe lies one of the instrumental
ities relied on by those who look for
a revival of some of our stitl dormant
Industries. On this general ground,
therefore, gold and governments and
tlie sensitive values dealt ia at the
Stock Exchange are often responsive
to influences front abroad and tlie re
cent panic in Vienna and last week’s
failures in Berlin have commanded
a large share of attention.
But there are other reasons fir;
watching these failures. They are I
full of instruction to us. The (la-'
erlte, of Berlin, and the Slants /.ie- '
tung, of this city, have lately puli- 1
lislied some luminous expositions of
the German troubles, while those at
Austria arc under discussion at the 1
First Congress of Austrian Econo-;
mists, which met April sth at Vienna!
and is now in session. Mure than
three hundred members are already
enrolled in this young society ; mer
chants and manufacturers, states- i
men and scholars, economists and
farmers, are uniting in the attempt j
to devise and point out the practical j
measures which will contribute to
avert panics, to restore specie pay
ments, to regulate railways in thej
joint interests of capital, commerce j
and agriculture. In these discus
sions in Austria of the same ques
tions which have been so prominent.
and troublesome here, we expect to.
find some interesting contributions j
to the solution of the problems in-:
volved, and we shall probably re- j
port them to our readers as soon as
the details reach us. The meeting of
this body has probably been hasten
ed by the report just issued by the
Austrian government on tlie Vienna!
panic of 187:!. The Heichsruth ap
pointed a committee last year to in
vestigate the causes of that disaster, j
Financial Chronicle.
At an entertainment for the Lee j
Memorial Association in Baltimore
an address was delivered by S. j
Teacklo Wallis, Esq., in which the I
following passage occurs:
“And here I am permitted by the j
kindness of a friend to read some ex- j
tracts from a letter of tlie Illustrious
soldier, which has never seen the
light before, and which will show I
through what sad struggles of both ;
heart and mind lie passed to what he
felt to be his duty. I doubt not, nay,
I know, that many a gallant gentle
man who fought beside him, and
many another in the opposing host,
grieved with as deep a grief as Lee to
draw liis sword. The letter that 1 ■
speak of bears the date of January 16, ;
1861, and was written from Fort Ma
son, near San Antonia, in Texas. It,
was addressed to a young lady, a rel- j
ativo of his, for whom he had great
affection, and the passages of which!
1 speak were written as a message to
her father. Alluding to the homes of
two families of friends he said :
“I think of the occupants of both 1
very often, and hope some day to see
them again. I may have the oppor
tunity soon, for If the Union is dis
solved 1 shall return to Virginia to
share the fortune of my people. But
before so great a, calamity befalls t he
country I hojie all honorable means
of maintaining the constitution and
tile equal rights of tho people will be
first exhausted. Tell your father he
must not allow Maryland to lie tacked
on to South Carolina before the just
demands of the South have been fair
ly presented to the North and reject
ed. Then, if the rights guaranteed
by the constitution are denied us.
and the citizens of one portion of the
country are granted privileges not
extended to the other, we can, w ith a
clear conscience, separate. 1 am for
maintaining all our rights, not for
abandoning nil for the sake of one.
Our national rights, liberty at home
and security abroad, our lauds, na
vy, forts, dockyards, arsenals and
institutions of every kind. It will re
j suit in war, I know, fierce, bloody
I war. But so will secession, for it is
; revolution and war at last, and cannot
he otherwise, and we might as well
: look at in its true character. There
is a long message, A , for your fa
ther, and a grave one, which I had
not intended to put in my letter to
you, hut it is a subject on which my
serious thoughts often turn, for as uii
American citizen I prize my govern
ment, and country highly, and there
is no sacrifice lam not willing to
make for their preservation, save
that of honor. I trust there is wis
dom and patriotism enough in the
country to save them, for I cannot
anticipate so great a calamity to the
nation as the dissolution of the
Union.”
The Measurement of Time.
The perfection of ocean steam navi
gation was greatly promoted by the
invention of the chronometer, which
rendered it possible to tind with accu
racy the place of a ship at sea. The
great drawback on the advancement
of science in tin- Alexandrian Shool
was the want of an instrument for the
measurement of time, and oneforthe
measurement of temperature, the
chronometer and the thermometer;
indeed, the invention of the latter is
essential to that ofthe former: Clep
sydras, or waterclocks, lmd been
tried, but they were deficient in accu
racy. Of one of them, ornamented
with the signs of the zodiac, and de
stroyed by eertain primitive Chris
tians. St. Polyeurp significantly re
marked, "in all these monstrous de
mons is seen an art hostile to God.”
Not until about 1680 did the chronom
eter begin to approach accuracy.
Hooke, the contemporary of Newton,
[gave it the balance-wheel, with the
[ spiral spring, and variousesoapments
■in succession were devised, such ns
the anchor, the dead beat, tho duplex,
the remontoir/ Provisions forthe va
; nations of temperature wereintrodu
: eed. It was brought to perfection
I eventually bv Harrison and Arnold,
in their hands becoming an accurate
measure of the flight of time. To tho
invention ofthe chronometer must be
added that of the reflecting sextant
•of Godfrey. This permitted astrono
mical odservations to be made, not
withstanding tho motion of a ship.
Improvements in ocean navigation
are exercising a powerful influence
on the distribution of mankind. They
are increasing the amount and alter
ing the character of colonization.

Major Hardaway was a gentleman of indomita
ble energy of character, earnest and zealous iu

cessful iu diversified business affairs up to the

Southern industrial pursuits and enterprises, he
was left with nothing but au honest name, too
old tu adapt himself to the changed condition of
his people, and hopeless of any change until time
shall have effaced the marks of wa r and softened the
oppression of the conqueror. Jle was a consis

May the coming men of the South emulate the
energy, the integrity and the dignity of char

from our midst, ancient types of Southern man
