The daily circulation of the New York Hertffd is OveV one hundred thousand copies. It disposes of its papers by wholesale to news agencies, who take upon thetfts* lve* the doty of circuit tion.

Thk Mobile IteglMer threatens the< people of M'Uttgomery with a lernoy-; al of the capital of Alnbuntu, if they j do not reform the city government. This has been under the control of negroes since 1808, and the result Is, that property of tlie same value is taxed twice as much us It Is In the city of While the State ex pends annually a quarter of a million in Montgomery, the city has reached the verge of bankruptcy. Baku was “too unanimous," That is the way they put it at Washington. Therefore his head Is In the basket. He was too desperately fond of a third term, and made too much noise about it.

Ills summary execution will moderate the dangerous zeal of other lieuten ants. A great reduction of wages lias tak en place in Germany this winter.

H'axh mgton Chronicle. Will the Chronicle please mention some of “tho Southern papers” con taining this remarkable statement, ns given In the Chronicle? 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. Now will the Chronicle, in another labored article of throe columns, ex plain to us the meanlftg of that tut- j tered affair yclept "tho constitution?” j 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. I t * f. I "*— Gv.kx*:— We do not believe that more than two-thirds us much guuno will be sold this year ns was sold last year. The aggregate quantity of guano that passed through Savannah up to April Ist is 5,838,614 pounds less than last year. Wo regard this ns the most favoralo sign for the far mers of the .State. A few years ago the supply of guano bought by the planters of Qetwgla amounted to ■*lo,ijpC,®>j per annum. It has been demonstrated that a small crop of cotton all over the South will com mand as much money ns a large crop, as the demand is imperative for a eortaih quantity, and the price is governed by the supply. It is easy to detuiiWXrato that a small cotton "HHre# wHI leave mwo money In (Georgia than n large crop raised by ft8,000;00i) worth of fertilizers. - —— -♦ -♦ •- • 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. -Solon Uobinson, in his address delivered at the late meeting of the Florida Fruit Growers' Association, says: “In all that makes life desi rable, Florida is not only the peer, but the superior of any of the States of the “Great West, 1 ' 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. A colored gallant in Asburv, War ten county, N. J.. who made advances to several white women, probably un der some mistaken notion of the Civil Rights bill, lias been treated to what Tom Payne called “a balmage of tar and a hyeroglyphic of humble feath ers.” The practice of Yankees towards the colored people do not agree with their precepts. ... . ♦ . A blamed fool entertained a crowd in Triekum, a Cherokee vil lage, with a suggestive name, by at tempting to swallow a sharp piece of steel two Inches long. He succeeded.

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 current flows where it is most needed i ■sols it in the financial world with | the current of capfful. M. Wolowski 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. OBITUARY.

In 1H32 bo resided in Harris county, and nixies 1*33 ho bus resided in the vicinity of Columbus, Ua., part of that timo in the State of Alabama, in the adjoining county of Russ* 11. In the Creek war of 1830 he enlisted in the Columbus Guards ; was afterwards Sergeant-Major of the Volnotc er Bat j tallonOf I>r. Thomas H. Hoxie. Major Harda- S say represented Barbour and Russell counties iu | the Alabama Senate; was an active Director of 1 the Muscogee Railroad, and the first President [ of the Mobile k Girard Railroad; was president j of a inauulhcturiug company in Russell county, Ala., which was enjoined by manufacturers from the Georgia side of the Chattahoochee river, and the Rock Island Paper Mill was erected subse quently on the site. Major Hardaway was a gentleman of indomita ble energy of character, earnest and zealous iu ail undertakings. He had been singularly suc cessful iu diversified business affairs up to the lato war. Like almost all the former leaders in 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 tent Christian, and swerved from no duty of life. May the coming men of the South emulate the energy, the integrity and the dignity of char acter of those who so rapidly are passing away from our midst, ancient types of Southern man hood.
