The Columbus Daii.y Times, by Its entry into tho ranks of journalism, PLACED ADVEItTIHINO IN TUE BEACH OF ALL, BY ITS EXTREMELY LOW BATES. Before tliut time advertising wus kx oiibitant, and since we have brought prices down to living rates, we trust tho public will not forget ora claims fob patronage. Our prices are lower than uny advertising medium before the public. We have good reason to believe wo have tho laikiest circula tion in Western Georgia and East ern Alabama. Our subscription list is still increasing, and we say with a pardOnablo pride, tliut the Daily Times is read by more people in this section than any other publication. Whenever our merchants think their business will be Increased by advertising, we will bo glad to have their patronage—for, with our large circulation, we feel assured they will roceive an equivalent for their invest ment. Tub tido of emigration westward, cm Detroit, has again set in. Spain lias paid a portion of the claim made by the United States on account of tho Virginias, amounting 10 *,<**>. Tub people of New Orleans seem disappointed that the Kellogg Legis lature adjourned without passing a single measure of reform or relief for that city and the country adjacent. A desperate light occurred ou the 23d Inst., throo hundred and eighty miles west of Kansas City, between United States soldiers and sixty Cheyenne warriors. Twenty-seven Indians and two soldiers were killed. More troubles on the Texas frontier are reported. Armed bodies of Mex iouus have been making raids, and tlic Texans have determined to take tlie matter Into their own hands and to resist, their invaders. The action of the Pope In creating an American Cardinal is a proof that tho ancient idea of the divine right of the people Is the only divine right. “Par pgpuli, cup Dei," is again get ting the ascendency. A republic France is tho strongest ally of the papacy. The Catholics of the United States are as devoted ill their alle giance as the Catholics of Italy are. • ♦ • “Grammatically speaking, a kiss is a conjunction.” A correspondent of tho New York Ucrahl proposes to export Beecher to China, as kissing is said to he un known there. We suggest that Shear man be used as a missionary among the Crocodiles, as those unfortunates are said to be ignorant of tie-art of weeping. Brother Shearman will doubtless till the bill. The reading matter in the Vicks burg llcrahl lias been reduced to very small proportions of late. The whole of the editorial page and many addi tional columns hove been surren dered to an advertisement of the sale of lands for failure to pay the exorbi tant faxes which have been imposed upon their owners by the negro and carpet-bag rulers of that frightfully misgoverned State. In Mississippi the advantages of Giantism are fully realized. Captain Eads. Mr. Frederick A. Johnson lias addressed a letter to tin -! St. Louis Trailc Journal, warmly en dorsing the opinion that a neat, city ! is sure to spriug up in the Belize at the head of Eads’ jetties. We learn tliut Gupt. Eads is a self made man, and was an officer in the ' Confederate army. St. Louis is a bis elty find does everythin# on a grand scale, The grandest thing in St. Louis is (i,pt. Eads’ bridge across the Mississippi. The biggest piece of casting in the world is connected with that bridge. It was designed by (Jjypt. Eads, and Capt. Eads is the biggest man in St. Louis. ■ i—■ Tun New Orleans Bulletin, in speak ing of the recent motion of Mr. Sulli van, M. P., to exclude strangers from Parliament, says “that lobbyists have no right to occupy seats in the galle ries of the House or Semite. ’’ A false notion certainly prevails in this coun try if that bo true. After the lobby ists have been abolished, which would boa blessod good thing, it will bo in order to abolish newspaper “inter viewers,” which would be an equally good measure. Wo don’t like pro fanity, but we confess that Fred. Grant'd treatment of the would-be “representative” of Story's paper raised that youngster in our estima tion. We commend the following, which we clip from a Michigan imper, to the attentive perusal of our colored people, in order to show them what their office-seeking friends in Geor gia propose to do for thorn: “Alexan der G. Murray, of Goorgia, has issued a phamplot in which he. takes strong ground in favor of the shipment of the Southern negroes to Africa. Mur ray proposes that the negroes be ship ped to Africa, wlioro food can bo ob tained without labor, and where the climate is so warm that they will have no need to buy clothes. The author of this proposition is a promi nent Federal office-holder and an ar dent supporter of Grant. He cordial ly voted for Grant in 1868, and again in 1872, and has no objection to a third term for the President. Grant, ho dapeud an his support in 1876, If he will only ttdtapt the project of transporting the negro population j to Africa os the great, issue of the I canvass.” COTTON. We give elsewhere an article from tho New York Tribune on tho subject of cotton. As i>ertiuent to tho sub ject thus treated by tho Tribune, we give below extracts from an article that wo wrote for Dr How's Review, iu 1808: Now, what would be the result of a diminution of the American supply? Foreign competition would ultimate ly materially cripple its exportation in a sensiblo scale. Cotton lias not ceased to be King, but it lias ceased to be an American autocrat. The greatest maritime power in the world has become Its producer as well as its consumer. British India contains 1,460,000 square miles, witli a popula tion of 150,000,000 inhabitants! The importation of the products of India amounts to £10,000,000 sterling (near ly $200,000,000). The exportation from England to India is half this amount. The Hindoo Cypayes are of timid character, and are inferior, morally and physically, to the European race that dominates tho vast country. Ex tensive cotton culture demands this relation between the employer and employee. The gradual diminution of cotton culture in the South, owing to emancipation, is only a question of time. In India the wealth of the wealthiest of empires furnishes all tlie appliances of modern science, and strains every nerve to establish a pre-eminence. They are rapidly opening ways of communication, and the problem before them is to pro duce the largest supply at the least cost. The Egyptian cotton supply lias in creased ten fold in ten years. In Cochin, China, the French colo nies, with a million industrious sub jects, cultivate cotton successfully, and on a gradually increasing scale. It is readily seen tiiat tlie American cotton culture needs encouragement rather than the burden of taxation. But leave the South to itself; let prices seek their only natural limit, which is tho only healthful one, and our country can compete with the combined efforts of all its rivals. Look upon the map, trace out the boundary lines of the late Confed-. orate States, and no similar area in the world can be found to possess su perior capabilities. The noble rivers with adequate water power to propel tlie manufactories of the world; mountain chains filled with iron, coal, and other minerals; fertile val leys adapted to almost every staple product known to the wants of civili zation ; extended plains and table lands, free from tho rocky surface of; the East, ig- the malaria of the West ern prairies, and climes that unite j the blessings of all. If left alone to ! carve out her destiny unfettered by class legislation, that destiny will bo unparalleled. If bound down by op pressive legislation, our best citizens will abandon cotton culture and leave the country. The South furnishes all the cotton consumed in America. The cotton supply from the South is the main spring that runs the British manufac tories of 2,210 establishments, 28,000,- 000 of spindles, 298,000 looms, and a population of 387,210 British laborers. In France, 300,000 laborers; in Aus tria, 400,000 laborers are similarly en gaged. To tax sueh an article out of existence, or to materially cripple its production, would lower American commercial prestige, and New Eng | land’s prosperity, more th/tn any oth er tariff. It would be repetition of the logic that animated the peas ant to kill the hen that laid the gold- ! en eggs, as is recounted by tlie fabu- I list. Theoretic deduction is a dan | gerous fallacy when carried too far. Iltith It,-iiinls and Low Natarles. The Augusta ConstUuliimMlixt has a good article upon the cost of living, supplemented by one from the Now York Times, on the subject of rentals. The Constitutumalisl thinks that a man who received a salary of SSOO per annum before the war could af ford to marry, but that such an act now implies insanity. The New York Times says that property erected and sold in the past twelve years, will not pay an intorest of seven per cent, on the purchase money, i The New York Il'orld explains the reason of this, viz.: “The war was followed by an immense national I debt amounting, say iu round num bers, to two billion live hundred mill ions of dollars—entailing a large per manent increase of taxation, and by the issue of an inconvertible paper currency affecting alike prices in every branch of trade. Conse quently five-sixths of the real estate in New York City does not. now pay the owner a net interest of six per ct, or even its present depressed value, and many are satisfied with 5 per et. In ’6O, taxation was one dollar sixty-nine cents four hundred and eighty-one thousandths of a cent; in 1871, it was, two dollars and eighty cents; in 1875, it will bo three dollars and three cents, on every one hundred dollars of assessed value. Take, for example, a piece of property appraised in 1860, at twenty-two thousand dollars; the amount of tax throe hundred and eighty-two dollars and seventy-five cents. In 1874 the assessed value was $48,000, the amount of tax being increased to one thousand threo hundred and forty-four dollars. The rental in 1860, would have amounted to two thousand five hun dred dollars. Repairs would have cost five hundred dollars per annum. If the same rental was now chogred what would be the result ? First, we add taxes and repairs amounting to gether to one thousand eight hun dred and forty-six dollars; insurance thirty dollars; Croton tax twenty-one dollars; total disbursements, one thousand eight hundred and ninety five dollars. The balance, say six hundred dollars, represents the net income to the owner. The present actual value of the property in ques tion is, seventy-five thousand dollars —considering that the assessed value is only sixty per cent, of the real value—one per cent, on that sum would be seven hundred and fifty dol lars, and this Is one hundred und fifty dollars more than tho property would, under present circumstances, net the owner, If rented at tho same rent as in tlie year 1860. Thus tlie | owner would get less than one per cent, on tho market value of Ids property if we went back to the rent als of 1800.” “In the South tlie city real estate assessed in 1800 at $22,000, would be now assessed at SII,OOO, or, perhaps, less. Real estate, generally, has de preciated in equal or greater ratio, with the appreciation of real estate in the North from ISO 1 ) to 1575. Rents are high in proportion to the assessed value of property. Salaries are reg ulated by the cost of living, where they can be obtained at all. Many, very many, of our host young men would gladly give up their scanty salaries if they thought that by going to tho country they could earn a sub sistence. Wages In tlie cotton coun try are too low for that; and, if they borrow money, they have to pay sueh an enormous rate of interest as to prohibit the prospect of advancement. The most rigid economy is our only hope of relief. Meter, of I harity. Bismarck not only raises the black flag against tlie Pope, but lias expel led the Ursullne Sisters from Ger many. This is an unwise and dan gerous step. In the last war they rendered signal service to the sick and wounded, as they do in all wars. A Sister of Charity ought to lie as se cure from persecution as an ambu lance. Bismarck, by this act, offends civilization as much us did tin- assas sins, who, in Acapulco, Mexico, killed the I’rostestant congregation. The greatest compliment ever paid to the Empress of the French, tin- gentle Eugenie and the whole world de lighted to praise her -was tlie title “la sear dr In (thorite, ’’ given her by tho Parisian populace. Moody and Sankey.— ln London, those two men, known us the Ameri can Revivalists, preach every night at Agricultural Hall, Islington, to twenty thousand people. A British correspondent says; “Htanding in a remote portion of a side gallery, the mighty sea of twenty thousand upturned faces presented a sight that can never be forgotten, while tlie almost dead silence enabled the remotest to bear the ringing words of life.” * ♦ • The seem- on the levees nt New Or leans during the burning of the three steamers is thus described by the HnUetin: “When tho throng on tlie levee saw that human life was really imperiled, their excitement knew no bounds. Unable to go to the rescue of their fellow-beings, and standing, witness es of their horrible sufferings, they siiriink from gazing upon the sicken ing spectacle and some turned away horrified. Tho scene presented on the shore beggars description. Ne gro laborers, utterly unnerved, fell upon their knees on the wharf in prayer, whilst others less affected commenced fruitlessly to throw into the water whatever object they could find to succor the drowning people. Tho crowd swayed to and fro with tho terror of the hour, and not even the explosion of tho old steamer Lou isiana produced such a demoralizing effect on the by-standers.” . ♦ * The Marquis do Caux has been killed in a duel. He is only known to the general public ns the husband of Adelina Patti. His character is thus described by a prominent friend of ! his, and bv the Emperor Napoleon 111 : M Louis Dae.bauer, who was a member of the international jury during the Paris Exposition, said also about the deceased Marquis : “11 est le nmri de sa femme.” When he mar ried Adelina Patti he had no money. The marriage was brought around by the Emperor and the Empress. The Emperor said to his rcayrr after the marriage : "Taut quelle sera Adelina Patti, a l’opera, Vous la garde pour vous; quaud idle no sera quo Mine. l)e Caux vous jiourrez In presenter a la eour. ” Genu s is, after all, dearer to the world than mere titles of nobility. letter from a Farmer. L'PATOUS, MI’SCIXfF.E ('<>., (>A., I April 24, 1875. | ; Dear Time x 1 notice in your paper | of the 90th ult. that, you solicit eom ! municutions in regard to the planting j interest. I will give you a brief syn opsis of what is going on around old | Upatoie. Notwithstanding we have had an j unfavorable spring for the prepara | tion of the soil, the planting is about | finished, with tho exception of a jstnall amount of cotton, which would have been done but for want of seed, which was caused by the planters using a great many under their corn. There is much more corn planted this year than last, as the farmers are i now fully convinced that it is all folly | to have their corn cribs in the West | any longer (and besides it is not alto gether as easy to obtain it on paper), |as has been heretofore. This very | thing, Mr. Editor, is what has placed ! the farmer in the condition that he is |in to-day; for you can take my word i for it, there is not a farmer to-day | who can make a dollar planting and i pay the enormous per cent, for money ! that the planter has been forced to pay in order to get every bushel of j corn and every pound of bacon con sumed. i Tho crops around old Upatoie are j about equally divided. Some few | may have a few more acres in cotton | than corn. The stand of corn is very ! good, and has about recovered from j the effects of the frost, which did I much damage to gardens as well as j corn. As to cotton, there is very little | up, as the cold rains or last week j have caused the ground to be very [cold, which has retarded its growth. I know one man in this section whi j says he intends to make everything this year to eat. He has his crop j divided thus: 55 acres in cotton, the I same in corn, 25 in sugar cane, 40 in | peas, 4 in sweet potatoes, 1 in rice, 1 ■in Irish potatoes, and 5 in water- melons. He for one it determined to make home self-sustaining regurdless of tho West. 1 will write you ugain before a great while, and lot you know how crops are progressing. The Times Is the paper taken iu this section. You publish a good paper, and it suits us all -and whatever It contains may be depended on as reliable. I hope the Times will continue to flourish. From the New York Tribune. COTTON. l.oulftlnna vcr*u* Hru/.H, The bulk of the cotton crop of 1874 bus now been marketed at the ship ping ports, and tho broad results can be as well stated at this time as when tin; accurate statistics have been com piled. The crop will be less by three hundred thousand bales than that of last year, and it is not unlikely that tlie deficiency will be greater than our estimate. Tho crop of the year 1872 was 4,170,(88) bales, which, added to the Egyptian, East Indian, and Barzilian production, was more than sufficient to supply the demand for manufacture for the world’s con sumption. Asa consequence, prices this year have ruled low, and the stock of raw material is extremely large. Cotton, like wheat and gold, is un article tlie price of which is the result of the demand and supply of the whole civilized world. In other words, Its value is cosmopolitan. The im mediate rivals of tiie United States for the supply of the European de mand are Egypt and Brazil. The cot ton of these countries is similar to ours and sells in Liverpool ut an j average price i>er pound a little high er than tliut of the United States. A growth of the plant in Africa, India and South America received a power ful impulse when the supply from the Southern States was interrupted by tlie war. The start then taken by our rivals has not been lost. Indeed the cultivation of the staple in tin- Coun tries we have named lias been stead ily and successfully extended, and the statistics of tlie increase are so start ling that, we cannot omit to give them. For the five years beginning with 1850 and ending with 1860, the quantity of cotton imported into Great Britain from all countries was 5,544,000,000 pounds, of which 4,346,000,000 came from the United States, 110,000,000 from Brazil, and 176,000,000 from Egypt. Fifteen times as much cot ton was then received from the United States as from Egypt and Bra zil together. in the five years from 1802 to 1800 inclusive the supply from Brazil in creased to 207,18(0,(88) pounds, and that from Egypt to 573,(88),n0n. This period covered the cotton famine caused by our war. In tlie five years ended with 1871, tho amount received by Great Britain from all countries was 7,629,000,030pounds, and from the United States 4,097,188),(88) pounds, or 249,000,000 pounds less than in the five years ending with 1860. The sup ply from Brazil was 4ls,U(K),Oonpounds and that from Egypt 874,*88),(H8i, and from both Egypt and Brazil combined, 1,289,(8i,i88) pounds, or nearly live times the quantity IniuorteU in tin period of five years ended with 18(8), and close on to one-third the quan tity received from tlie C nited States, against only one-fifteenth, the pro portion fifteen years ago. From t hese statistics we conclude that it is important to spare no effort to give the cotton States good government. The operation of such governments as those of Louisiana and South (Carolina must tend to increase the eost of growing cotton, and to give the Egyptians and Braziliausadvan tages over us which they ought not to have. That the production of cotton, un der tlie circumstances which have of late years attended its culture, is not very remunerative, is indicated, we think, by the rapidity with which tie crop lias been fowarded to the ports. Those who founded their estimates of the crops of 1873 and 1871 on the receipts at the ports in the first, months of the season fell into the er ror of overestimating the supply. During the whole of the current cot ton year prices have been low and un satisfactory to the planter. Why then did lie hurry his cotton to tin seaboard V Not unlikely because lie was poor and in debt, and was forced to sell. When an article is produced at a loss it is merely a question of time when tho production of if will bo curtailed. Last year the weather was favorable for making a large cot ton crop, but wo see that tlie total yield is three hundred thousand bales ii*-s than that of 1873. Whether the Egyptian anil Brazil ian planters are better off than those |of Louisana and South Carolina we i have no means of deciding. We have ( before us the account of the foreign j trade of Great Britain for the first two months of 1875, from which we i learn tiiat tho imports of cotton from 1 the United States were 2,151,(88) ewts. I in 1875, a failing off of 289,(88) ewts. The imports from Egypt were 401,1881 ewts. in 1874, and 440,000 ewts. in 1875, an increase of 39,(88) ewts. ; and the imports from Brazil were 119,0(8) ewts. iu 1874, and 132,(8H1 ewts. in 1575, an in | crease of 13,<X8) ewts. The growth of cotton in Egypt and , Brazil is undoubtedly capable of great I extension, and it is a question wheth ;or Congress and the Administration ; have not for two or three years past given powerful encouragement to the increase of planting in those distant countries.
