THE I*l. AMT IRS’ 1 KOI 111 is
in the present deep gloom that
Ispreuds like n pU upon the Month,
tho troubles of the planters our
deopcit sympathies. Our generous
hearted merchants haveoxtended lib
eral aid for a long time, and their
prosperity depends on tho.future of
the planters. Doubtless the so-called
“relief laws” were Intended for good,
but they have resulted unfortunately.
While it would be a crime to abolish
them now, the principle was wrong
which causod their enactment. .Leg
islation cannot relieve ono class with
out oppressing another. Had they
not boon passed, the crisis which has
now come upon the country would
have occurred ilvo yours ago. Tho
people would then have learned what
they are learning now, viz: That no
class in the community can prosper
I>ermanently unless agriculture pros
l>ers. Ono of tho most eminent polit
ical economists, Jean Baptiste Say,
truly says, "Nothing can increase
population except the encouragement
and advunce of production; and noth
ing can occasion its permanent dimi
nution but such circumstances as at
tack production in its sources. The
owner of land will never be able to
saddle the consumers of its produce
with any part of his land tax.” Yet
Congress passed an onerous cotton
tax. Manufacturers, on the contrary,
can run on half-time when the low
price justifies it; their operations are
concentrated in one building, and it
does not require the ability to roup
success as planting does. “A person
who is neither a producer nor con
sumer of an article of luxury will
never bear any portion whatever of
tho tax that may be levied upon it."
We ran safely assert that all tho tri-;
als and privations of the great five- 1
years’-war cannot compare to those |
endured by the cotton planters of the j
South since the war. The one was a
war for political independence; tho j
other ceased years ago to be follow
ed for profit, and is but a battle for
subsistence. Have the planters fail
op? No! But for t hem your families
would have been endangered, and
our country would have relapsed, and
been abandoned like tho jungles of
India. Not They have disciplined
4,000,000 uncivilized slaves, and made
them to become valuable free labor
ers, and are educating them to be
come intelligent citizens. Should
our planters lose courage? No! Their
fortunes, they may have lost,
but they have saved their country,
“with malice towards none, and char
ity for all.” We say it; there never
has been a more heroic struggle than
their’s has been. No business more
arduous; no discipline more severe;
no trials more demoralizing to the
human mind and heart than has been
their’s since the war. Had they not
been our best, bravest, most intelli
gent citizens, long, long ago, would
they have availed themselves of the
relief laws at a time when the home
stead exemption would have secured
to each man hundreds of acres, well
improved. With a hope, sublime in
its effort, they toiled on as long as
money could be obtained, although
they knew as well that the chances
were against success five years ago,
and that high rates of interest would
eventually Impoverish them, as they
do now. They toiled on, hoping that
times might improve. They have
done ail in their power, and, hut for
them, ours would have been the fate
of nil cotton-growing countries where
the better classes are not engaged in
agriculture. Famine would hare en
sued. There are men now leading se
cluded lives in the country upon the
poorest diet, who, a few years ago, in
their city homos dispensod tho most
lavish hospitality. All will concede
that they knew how to live, and, by
their wealth, added to the happiness
and prosperity of ull.
The planters have been bearing the
whole country on their shoulders.
No other industry has suffered as
much from the evils of unjust sec
tionul legislation ns farming in the
South. The West has boen built up
by direct aid from the Government,
and most of the exports of tho nation
come from the South, and all the
Southern exports aro produced by the
planters. Impoverished, it is true,
but they hare, ml failed. The fact that
in the little city of Augusta, Georgia,
' this season, $10,000,000 of cotton have
i been sold, is an eloquent refutation
> of the charge.

PAUL REVERB.
A suspicion exists that considerably
more is known about "Paul Revore’s
Ride" than about. Paul Revere him
self, who was nevertheless a note
worthy personage.
Paul ltevore’s grandfather was a
French Huguenot who emigrated to
Guernsey. His father came to Bos
ton, and thore practiced the trade of
goldsmith, to which also ho brought
lup his son Paul. It was in making
I the designs upon his futhcr’s silver
i ware that Paul learned to use the
burin, and probably the Huguenot
blood in his veins gave him his taste
for fighting. At uuy rate, ho went;
out in 1770 with the Massachusetts
militia, and, as a lieutenant or artil
lery, participated in the expedition ]
against Crown Point. In May, 1766,;
Dr. Jonathan Maylicw preached (but
not on Sunday! a famous “Thunks- j
giving sermon” on the repeal of the,
stamp tax, from tho significant text,
“Brethren, ye have been called unto
Liberty; only use not Liberty for an
occasion to the flesh, but by love
servo one another.” This sermon
made the stout pastor of the West
Church vastly popular, and Paul Re
vere emphasized it by engraving and
publishing the Doctor’s portrait. He
also got out a design of his own, em
blematical of tho Repeal, and soon
after, in 1708, executed u very popular
caricature of tlie Seventeen Reseind
ers, whom he consigned openly to “a
warm place—hell” diaboto instignate
fnrcit adjiivante. Tho print was a
good “hit” in the coarse but vigor
ous stylo of Gilray.
In 1770 Revere published a print of
the massacre in King street, and in
1774 another of the landing of the
troops in Boston. In 1775 tho Pro
vincial Congress of Massachusetts, in
session at Watertown, having re
solved to issue pajier-monoy again
fthe colony had only been out of debt
one year on account of previous is
sues), Paul Revere came to the front
in his practicul character. He on- i
graved the plates for tho money, j
made tiic press, and printed it him
self. This done, he was called to;
serve in another capacity. The Mas- i
sachusetts Congress wanted to know ;
something about tho manufacture of
gunpowder, of which it was likely
there would be need pretty soon. ;
Paul Revere constructed a powder
mill, and soon had it in successful j
operation.
Revere’s own account of his famous
ride, in his letter to the Correspond
ing Secretary of tho Massachusetts
Historical Society, is so modest and
so matter-of-fact that it cannot help
but enhance our opinion of tho man’s
personal worth. lie begins:
"Dear Sir: In the full of 1774 and
winter of 1774 70 I was one of up
wards of thirty, chiefly mechanics,
who formed ourselves into a commit
tee for tho purpose of watching the
movements of the British soldiers
and gaining every intelligence of the
movements of the Tories. We hold
our meetings at the Green Dragon
Tavern. We were so careful that our
meetings should lie kept secret that
every person swore upon the Bible
that they would not discover any of
our transactions but to Messrs. Han
cock, Adams, Doctors Warren,
Church, and one or two more.
Revere and his companions used to
patrol the streets all night, taking
turn about, to watch tho movements
of tins soldiery. He also rode to Lex
ington to carry messages from War
ren to Hancock and Adams, and on
the Sunday previous to April 19 1 Wed
nesday) arranged with CoL Conunt
about the signals from North Church
steeple two lanterns if the British
went by water, one if they went by
land, etc. But on Tuesday night, at
10 o’clock Dr. Warren sent for Revere ;
and asked him to go himself to Han
cock and Adams. An express had been
sent by land and the signals had been
mode from the steeple, but Warren
was still not satisfied. Revere was
trustworthy, and Revere must go
himself.
“I then went home, took my boots
and surtout, went to the North purt
of the town, where 1 had kept a boat;
two friends rowed me across Charles
river, a little to the eastward,
where Somerset man-of-war lay. It
was then young flood ; tho ship was
winding and tho moon was rising.
When 1 got into town I met Colonel
Oonant and several others. They
said they had seen our signals. 1
told them what was acting aud went
to get me a horse. 1 got a horse of
Deacon Larkin. While the horse was
preparing Richard Devons, Esq., who
was one of the Committee of Safety,
eatne to mo and told me that bo came
down tho road from Lexington after
sundown that evening; that he met.
ten British officers, all well mounted
and armed, going up the road. I set
off upon a very good horse. It was
then about 11 o’clock mid very pleas
ant.”
And so the famous ride began.
Just beyond Charleston Neck he
was pursued by two British officers,
evidently there to stop all such mes
sengers as ho, but escaped by good
riding and good courage. Thence
through Medford and on to Menoto
my. "In Medford I awoke the cap
tain of the minutomen,and after that
I alarmed almost every house till 1
got to Lexington.” After stopping
half an hour for refreshments Re
vere, with Dawes and "young Dr.
Prescott, whom wc found to be a high
Son of Liberty,” set. out for Concord,
spreading the alarm as they rode.
Half way there Paul Revere was cap
tured, interrogated, then marched in
front of the column to liexington.
Here lie was dismounted and his
horse taken from him, when lie es
caped across the burying-groiind and
some pastures to Rev. Mr. Clark’s
house, where Hancock and Adams
still were.
"I told them of my treatment, and
they concluded to go from that house
towards Woburn. I went with them,
and a Mr. Lowell, who was a clerk to
Mr. Hancock. When we got to the
house where they intended to stop,
Mr. Lowell and myself returned to
Mr. Clark’s to find what was going
on. When wo got there, an elderly
man caino in; he said he had just
conic from the tavern, that a man
had come from Boston who said there
were no British troops coming. Mr.
Lowell and myself went towards the
tavern, where we met a man on a full
gallop, who told us the troops were
coming up the rocks. We afterwards
met another, who said they were
close by. Mr. Lowell asked me to go
to tlie tavern with him to get a trunk
of papers belonging to Mr. Hancock.
We went up chamber, aud while wo
were getting the trunk, wc saw the
Britisli very near upon a full march.
We hurried towards Mr. Clark’s
house. In our way we passed
through the militia. There were
about fifty. When we had got about
one hundred yards from the meeting
house the British troops appeared on
both sides of the meeting-house. In
their front was an officer on horse
back. They made a short halt, when
I saw and heard a gun tired, which
appeared to be a pistol. Then I could
distinguish two guns, and then u con
tinual roar of musketry; when ire
made off with the trunk."
When tho British evacuated Boston
they broke the trunnions off the guns
in Castle William, but Washington
called in the professional services of
Paul Revere, now major of artillery
of Massachusetts, and Major Revere
contrived anew sort of carriage, by
means of which tho mutilated guns
were made still serviceable. Revere
remained in the State service, and in
the regiment of artillery, in which be
! rose to be Lieutenant-Colonel, until
the peace. Ho then returned to his
trade of goldsmith.
But soon bo proceeded to larger
; He first started u fur
nace for copper-smeltering, and cast
church-bells anil bronze cannon -
happy conjunction! Ho discovered
that iron fnstenings did not adjust
themselves witli copper-sheating in
shipbuilding. He commenced ex
perimenting, introduced tho use of
copper bolts and spikes, and finally,
at Canton, sixteen miles from Bos
! ton, established tho Revere Works, a
i source of fortune to him and his chil
i dren.
Dr. Benjamin Waterhouse, the cm- j
i inent Professor of Havard and Brown i
j universities, the schoolmate aud j
| friend of Gilbert Stuart, and a most j
I learned and venerable man. wrote a
, memoir of Revere in Jfiukiiighaia’s
i New England Magazine which thus
! concludes;
Colonel Revere was the first Presi
dent of the Massachusetts Charitable
Mechanic Association, which was in
stituted in 1795-a society which has
embraced the principal mechanics of
all professions in Boston, and which
is prominent among the variety of
benevolent and useful institutions
which dignify and embellish the me
tropolis of Massachusetts. At the
time of his death he was connected
with many other philanthropic asso
ciations, iu all of which he was a mu
nificent and useful member. By an
uncommonly long life of industry and
economy lie jjad been able to obtain
a competency in the way of property
and to educate a large family or chit- j
dren, many of whom are living to ;
participate in one of the purest and;
most affectionate gratifications thata
child can enjoy the contemplation
of the character of an upright, patri
otic and virtuous father.
Liverpool Cotum Report.
We take the following from Messrs.
Watts & Cos. 's Weekly Cotton Report,
Liverpool, April 2d :
The Position, etc. We have again
to report another very large week’s
import, namely 142,414 bales; this
makes 484,057 bales that have arrived
at this port, in tho jiast four weeks,
during which period the outgoings
have amounted to only 258,789 bales;
in other words, the stock here lias in
creased 225,6(10 bales in the past four
weeks, and is now 150,879 bales larger |
than at this time last year, aud yet, •
notwithstanding this great draw-.
back, prices are now about l-16d pt lb j
dearer than they were four weeks ■
ago. Tho following tabic will show
the maximum stock in this port the 1
past three years, and the date when
attained :
1871. 1878. 187'2. I
Mivliumu NtlH’k 1.008.1*10 '.118.200 1,101.000,
Win;ii attained.... July 16. July 10. July 27, j
We should not be surprised if our
present stock proves to bo the maxi
mum of the year 1875, for the supply
afloat from America and India for
this port is now just 100,000 bales less
than it was one year ago, and, more
over, our latest information inclines
us to look fora material reduction in
shipments, both from America and ]
Bombay, for the next three months,;
as compared with same period last :
year. In one respect this now prom
ises to bean exceptional year, that is
to say, it now looks us if Liverpool j
had received a much larger propotion
of the* year's import than ever before
up to tills date.
Why is this? In a few words, the
icrops of America, Egypt aud India
seem to have been extraordinarily
early, and to have been marketed
very rapidly. Many of our corres
pondents in America write us ex
pressing surprise that, in view of the
I small receipts at the American ports
; during the past three months, prices
i hero do not advance. The short and
! plain explanation is that Liverpool is
overweighted with cotton. It may
be there will be some scarcity of cot
ton here before the close of this
year and we ourselves are, inclined
to tho opinion that it will be even
greater than expected but in view
of the present excessive supply, this
will have no immediate or very
marked influence on the course of
our market.
But assuming that there may be an
actual scarcity of cotton in Europe
before tin* close of this year, it is al
most certain the effect on prices
would in a great measure depend on
prospective supplies, and this in turn
would mainly depend on tho acreage
planted in America this spring. Al
ready we hear that an increased
quantity of fertilizers have been for
warded from Charleston and .Savan
nah to the interior towns, and this is
generally supposed to mean active
exertions on the port of planters to
grow a largo crop this year Imt wo
think It not improbable that, in this
instance, it means active exertions
on file part of manufacturers to sell
their fertilizers by forwarding them
to inland towns, where .planters can
readily obtain them should they wish
to buy. Be this as it may, in" order
to have some basis to go upon let us
assume that there may be 5 per cent,
more land planted in cotton in the
United States this than last year,
what then ? This, roughly, would in
dicate an increase in the crop of
j 1875 (i of some 200,000 bales ns eoifl
! pared with 1874 5.
On tho 25th ult.. there was afloat
from America for Russia 107,000 bales,
against 47,000 at same time last year;
this large excess, we suppose, is near
ly if not quite offset by decreased re
ceipts overland from Central Asia
this as compared with last year. Wo
can obtain no positive information
on this point, but such are our im
pressions derived from different
sources. The stocks in all the Con
tinental ports on the 25th ult. were
336,000 bales, against 410,000 at same
time last year -a decrease of 65,000,
i and leaving out the excess in cotton
j afloat from America to Russia, and
| the total supply in and afloat for Eu
i rope from all sources, was, on 25th
j ult., about 115,000 bales less than the
. year before at same date.
The receipts at Bombay at last
show signs of falling off, and as our
latest mail advices almost unmistak
j ably indicate a short crop in the
Broach and Oomrawuttoe districts,
we aro inclined to look for quite a
rapid falling off in receipts for the
I next three months, perhaps to tho
! extent of 10,(Kio to 15,000 bales per
week, as compared with same period
j last year. Furthermore, there arc
l said to be some considerable orders
|in this market from Bombay for
j Broach and Oomrawuttee cotton to
: cover short contracts.
At Alexandria the receipts for the
week ending yesterday amounted to
only 6000 eant’ars, against 40,000 ean
tars same week last year.
The stocks of cotton held by Eng
lish spinners we now estimate at 206,-
000 bales, against 212,000 last year and
194,000 the year before at the same
date.

Facts About Corn. -Hon. Thomas
P. James, commissioner of agricul
ture in Georgia, reports that 1,927,646
acres planted in corn in 1873 produced
10,023,023 bushels. This is only a
fraction overlive bushels to the acre
on an average through the State.
More acres were planted in 1874, and
tho crop is estimated at 11,358,447
bushels. Georgia is ono of the old
thirteen States that struck for inde
pendence; and®orn and eotton cul
ture by negro Tabor has done two
tilings worthy of note: Ono is to make
some throe acres of old, turned out
fields to one under cultivation of any
kind ; and the other is to reduce tho
average yield of corn so low as to
give no profit to the farmer, and lead
Gov. Smith to say, ina public address,
that twenty thousand more people
emigrated in one year out of the State
than came into it to settle and be
