The South will have the pleasure of
exporting some of that wheat.

Immigration to the United States
from Europe is now about one-third
what It was previous to the com
mencement of the financial depres
sion. Of late years the price of labor
has advanced in Europe, while it has
declined in the United States, hence
the tide of Immigration has dimin
ished In volume. It is stated that tho
average arrivals for the last ten years
have been at the rate of 300,000 annu
ally, and that at the present time it
will not exoeed 100,000 per annum.
ANIIKBMONVIM.I'..
The Bt. Louis Olobe-Demotrat of
September 16, Is before us. Iu it we
find several communications to that
paper thanking it for placing tho
blame of the ill-treatment of Feder
al prisoners at Andersonvilio und
Bell-Isle “where it belongs- on Jeff.
Davis.” Ono writer, and an able
one, plausibly endeavors to falsify
history by this passage: “And yet,
Davis has his parallels; for James
11. had his Jeffreys, Philip 11. his
Alva, Louis XIV. his Louvois, the
Emperor of Austria his Hayriau, and
Jefferson Davis had his Winder."
It is safe, imrhaps, to traduce the
dead ffor General Winder is not liv
ing to refute his slanderers.! But Mr.
Davis is living, aud countless thou
sands in tho Houth burn with indig
nation when they read these wanton
and unjust attacks upon his fair
mime. We call upon him, and those
who wero officially connected with
tho intorchangeof prisoners, to final
ly overthrow this chargo, born in
malice and nursed in hate.
Gen. Sherman has said that “war
is cruelty, and you cannot refine it.”
Tho oharge of unnecessary and per
clsdent cruelty can be truly made by
tlie prisoners of both armies. The
members of the Third Georgia Regi
ment can vouch for the inhuman
cruelty practiced upon some of their
comrades while in the hands of their
enemy near Vickburg as prisoners
of war. Any Confederate soldier
whose bard lot it was to be confined
in Northern prisons, can attest to the
oruol treatment they received. The
blame for all the sufferings of the
Federal prisoners confined at An
dersovillo nnd Belle-Isle, belongs to
Grant and the United States Gov
ernment, wliioh refused to exchungo
prisoners. “It is cheaper to feed
Rebels than to fight them,” said
Grant, und his brutal nature did not
hesitate to cause death to thou
sands who might havo been exchang
ed for Confederate prisoners. The
offer was made by tho Confederate
authorities to allow the enemy to
contribute food and medical sup
plies und physicians, and it was de
clined. To the United States au
thorities tho blame belongs for all
tho sufferings of Federal prisoners.
Our own heroic troops were forced
to subsist on very scanty rations of
inferior quality, and the Southern
army was olothed in very poor gar
ments, often suffering for the want
of shoes. Tho people, thousands of
thorn, wore on the verge of starva
tion. There is an unwritten history
which will yet bo written and Truth
will impress Itself upon the narrative
of that war, so us to givo merit of no
mean quality to tho vanquished, ami
praise of no prejudiced nature to tho
victors. Overcome by numbers, the
spectacle of a bravo people whoso lit
tle army seemed a handful in com
parison with the extent of territory
wliioh they had dofended, and tho
Immense hosts which they had so of
ten hurled back iu confusion ami
which .outnumbered them by six to
one, must have commanded the re
spect of all true Federal soldiers.
Hud their uncomplaining history
biyn read, it would have told of a
diet but little inferior to that given
to Federal prisoners, and privations
which the Northern armies were nev
er subjected to.
Jefferson Davis is not responsible,
however, for tho hospital and prison
treatinout of Federal prisoners. His
mind was filled with thoughts for
the defence of his oppressed country,
aud his groat heart never intentional
ly harmed a captive, or murmured
when as a captive hr awaited Iris fate
in Fortress Monroe.
We havo undoubted proof no less
authority than Secretary Stanton’s
Report—that the per centage of
deaths in Northern prisons was great
er titan in tho prisons of the South.
A correspondent of the Lynchburg
News writes as follows:
From Federal documents now ex
tant it appears 22,576 Federal prison
ers died in Southern prisons, whilst
26,436 Confederate prisoners died in
Northern prisons. From the same
source we find that, during the war
there wore 270,000 Federal prisoners
in Southern prisons, against 220,000
Confederate prisoners iu Northern
prisons. Here wo see that the Con
federates lost 4,000 more than the
Federals, yet the latter Lad 50,000
more in prison and other modes of
confinement. The percentage of Fed
eral deaths in Southern prisons was
under nine, whilst that of the Con
federates in Northern prisons was
over twelve.
Wo will have additional data upon
this interesting subject to-morrow.

Galveston has inaugurated a grain
trade between that city and Kansas
City. Tho immense grain territory
tributary to tho city makes it proba
ble that this trade will in future equal
that of cotton. Tho year’s wheat
crop throughput the State is esti
mated at 8,000,000 bushels, of which
there will be shipped out of the State
6,000.000 bushels. Among the great
local enterprises is the Gulf, Colorado
and Santa Fee Railroad, built solely
by Galveston people. In view of
these facts we look to the rapid re
covery of the city from the recent
gales that so devastated it.
The New York Ntin has a way of
putting more facts in less space than
any journal we ever read. Here is an
evidence of it; “About one-third of
the wheatgrown in the United States
is produced in the three States of
Minnesota, lowa, and Wisconsin,
and this one-third is iu round num
bers a hundred million bushels.”
How They are Written.— This is
the way our friends are writing us,
as postal cards in our possession will
prove: "Send me your very valuable
Daily paper for oue year from Ist Oc
tober next, and call on Messrs.
& Cos. for the $6 if you need it before
I see you. Y'ours truly,
“J. M. M."

THE TIMES: WEDNESDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 20, 1575.
“We see that our friends, of thut
admirable paper, the Culumbus Dai
ly Times have concluded to rcduco
the price of their Daily, on und after
October Ist, to $6 per annum, or $6
one.. Including postage. Tills large
und important reduction places the
paper within the reach of all, and we
hope all of our citizens and business
men will givo u liberal encourage
ment to this able und valuable paper.
It is by far the best paper in Colum
bus, contains all the Columbus mar
kets, aud tlio latest news, l>er tele
graph, from ail (mints, and is a first
class Democratic paper in every re
spect. Its scraps, alius locals, are un
surpassed, and we hope our readers
will take it at tho reduced price.”
We wish everybody thought as
much of our enterprise as does the
editor of the Opelika Times. We
thank our kind friend tor his flatter
ing notice, and will endeavor to make
the Times continue to merit the higli
compliment he pays ns. By energy
and enterprise we trust to place it in
the hands of every man in this sec

The annual review of the trade of
New Orleans shows that the year
ending 31st August last wus regarded
as an exceptionally unfavorable ono,
from the amount of individual loss,
the shrinkage in values of bank
stocks nnd other securities, the diver
sion of trade and tho curtailment of
tho general movement. Asa set off,
it is contended by the New Orleans
Trier-Current thut the failures wero
inconsiderable compared with the
entire volume of trade and the capi
tal invested, while the causes of the
other unfavorable phenomena were
general and acting simultaneously in
the same manner throughout the
country rather titan local. The
Tunes speaks very hopefully of the
future of the city.
short Horn Cattle.
The Memphis Aralanehc asks this
question:
At the sales of short horn cattle
now going on at various (joints
throughout the west, funcy cows
bring S2,(XX), $3,000, $3,600 and $4,000,
according to pedigree anti uppear
ance, and the poorest bring from $125
to $l5O each. Why is it Tennessee,
Arkansas and Mississippi cannot
raiso aud sell such cattle?
We have tried the experiment of
raising short horn cattle thoroughly
In North Georgia. It has proved a
costly experiment. There Is some
thing In tho climate of the Gulf
.States adverse to successful results
with Durham cattle that are brought
from Kentucky; thoydiein Septem
ber, although kept on clover pastures.
If the breed is domesticated suffi
ciently to raise from, the “Georgia
raised” few that survive, it is prob
able that good results will attend the
efforts. But our (leople are too [>oor
to incur the first cost caused by the
certain mortality of the greater num
ber of the imported lot. This futali
ty does not attend tho Jerseys, which
is the best improved breed for the ex
treme Southern States. The Durham
makes the largest and finest looking
animal, but the Jersey is the best
milker.

Nine of the eleven Democratic

Ex-Congressman Beck of Kentucky
is another mail who is trying tostuud
on botli sides of the financial ques
tion at the same time. Ho
thinks the Ohio Democrats go too
far in the inflation direction, and tho
New York Democrats too far in that
of specie payments. He is afraid
the Eastern section will cause a split
in the party by adhering too closely
to its side of the question. It is
safe to say that if Mr. Beck's views

that banking capital in this city is
likely to increase for the future. San
