But for his efforts the cotton tax, which is, some day, to be returned to the producers who paid it, might have been paid to the speculators who held the tax re ceipts. The importation of lemons and or anges has readied enormous propor tions. During the months of Janu ary, February, and March, of this year, there were received from abroad five hundred and eighty-nine thou sand three hundred and tlfty-seven boxes of theso fruits. Ijarge iis these figures appear, there is every proba bility that they will be exceeded in the future, as the demand for the orange and lemon grows with the growth of the wealth and popula tion of the country.

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. i Victor Hugo, in his great novel, 1 that pictures tho woes of humanity— Los Miserables says: "In our eivili- I zation there are fearful hours; such are thoso when the law pronounces shipwreck upon a man.” Mr. W. H. Clanton, late Secretary to tho Executive Committee, resigned some weeks ago. On yesterday W. L. Chambers, Esq., was selected to Ull tho place. Mr. Chambers canal ways be found at the rooms of tho Committee, over the banking house of Josinh Morris & Cos. He is a gen tleman of fine talent, courteous man ners and indefatigable industry, and wo congratulate tho Committee on its happy selection, Montgomery Advertiser'. The many friends of this young gentleman will echo all that is said concerning Mr. Chambers. He was raised in Columbus. The Unlontown (Pa..)

A mother, believing she was acting by the orders of the spirits, tore out the eyes of herson, and after wards attempted to tear out her own. This she did openly as a solemn sac rifice in the presence of the other women or the family, who prayed in a loud voice while it was going on. All the parties have been arrested and arc now on trial. Tho late Catholic fair at Savan nah netted *15.000, 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. I Says the San Francisco Scientific | Press: "Manufacturing of every de | scriptioti is flourishing in this city and | State ns never before.

W. W. Geiger, Mr. Tfios. W. I Davie was elected 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 come citizens.
