Statistical.
We have received from Mr. Alex?
ander Delmar, the Director of tho
Bureau of Statistics in tho Treasury
Department, at Washington, inouthly
statoments of valuable and reliable
statistics connected with tho com
morco of tho-country. Theso useful
and important tables aro mado up
from officiai roports of collootors iu
tho custom houses, consuls and otbor
officials, ond thereforo it may be de
ponded upon as being correct. They
bring to light facts whioh will sur?
prise tho country, and which cveu
tho peoplo of tbo Soutb did not
dream could bo realized under the
condition of their section' at the
present time. Theso exhibits, which
do not lie, may aid in opening tho
oyes of Northorn commorcial men.
A few facts collated from tho tables
ennnot foil to interest our readers.
They show that tho exports from thc
United States during the first quar?
ter of the presont year were about
$133,000,000, and that of this amount
the Southern States furnished $92,
000,000. This is, indeed, a wonder?
ful exhibit, considering tho dilapi?
dated and impoverished condition
which tho ravages of four yours' civil
war left these States in and the de?
privation of all resources aud means
to recuperate. It shows that, under
all these adverse circumstances, they
contributed seventy-five per cont, of
the whole exports of tho country for
the three months mentioned above.
The great resources of tho South?
ern StateB aro here mado manifest
without quibble or without exaggera?
tion. The last report brings the in?
formation referred to up to April 30.
For the four months ending ou that
date, there had been exported of raw
cotton: Sea Island, 4,787,500 pounds,
valued at $3,042,798; and of upland
cotton 392,770,730 pounds, valued at
$119,023,553, making a grund total
for this groat staplo alono of $122,
0(il3,353. Tobacco was exported to
the value of $4,100,857. Tho total
exports for theso two staples, there?
fore, were $126,827,210; which, do
ducted from tho gross amount of
foreign exports-$183,867,779-leavo
only $57,042,569 as tho contribution
of tho rest of the United States to
foreign commerce.
Let it bo remembered that this
magnificent exhibit of tho mighty
resources of the South shows only
her strength in a crippled and sub?
dued condition. Who so despondent
as to despair of such a country? Who
so reckless as, for tho sake of abstract
and dead theories-for tho sake of
party spoils, office or power, would
refuse to aid in hastening the day of
her redemption from thraldom, de
privati:u and nltiuiato decay? Who
would ciare, in view of tho power and
magnificence the South must cer?
tainly attain, to block up tho path of
restoration-tho only path of recu?
peration left open-for the sake of a
wretched and specious consistency,
in adhoring to dead principles und
defunct thrones of so-called State
rights and state sovereignty?
History will not award to these
impractical politicians thc mood of
commondation for either stutesicau
ship or common sense. Party names,
party affiliations and party success
are but bubbles ou thc waves of a
country's greatness or renown; the
first puff of adversity blows them
into air, and other bubbles succeed
thom only to share tho same sanguin?
ary futo. Tho whole history of this
country, from tho days of the Fede?
ralists down to the presont day of
Democrats, Republicans, A.c., abun?
dantly proves this; aud yet each
party, in its turn, was to save tho
country, but ero its work hud begun,
it had vanishod, aud boon succeeded
by another with equally gaudy colors
-tho rainbow hues of promise, to
those, nt least, who had made party
politics their profession, and who
lived off tho t4 , and the productivo
interest of tho country.
Wo havo beeu connected with the
politics of this country, AS a journal?
ist, for nearly half a century, and to
our certain knowledge, tho country
has not been benefited by tho success
of any party. Statesmanship thero
has boon in hor councils, which con?
trolled and guided her destinies, aud
had there beou a tithe of that states?
manship in tho National Legislature
soveu years ago, she never would
have beeu distracted and dhsevered
as she is to-day, and in greatness and
prosperity--especially he* now ex?
cluded and wretched Southern States
-she would havo been a quarter of a
oeutury ahead of ber prient position.
Reflect upon tho statistics we havo
quoted; they seldom lie; parties and
politicians too frequently, if not al?
ways, do. _
TittTii "WELL STATED.-It is not
often that wo find tho truth from a
Northern source so freely admitted,
and well stated, as it is in the follow?
ing, from the Now York Times:
"It is impossible that the whites
and tho blacks o? tho South should
bo mustered into opposition camps
politically, without n consequent hos?
tility in all tho relations of life. Their
only hopo lies in harmony of senti?
ment, bused on a conviction of har?
mony of interest. And the system?
atic crusade which is now going ou,
and which tends directly to a dis?
turbance- of theso relations, may well
cause disquiet and ?esentment to the
whites in tho Southern States."
The proposition skited by the
Times is patent to every thinking
mind, and yet here, iu tho South,
aro men, some of them born upon
the soil, who, that they may climb
into place and power for a season,
aro laboring day and night among
tho blacks to precipitate the very
conditiou which tho New York orgun
deprecates. They will, no doubt,
reap their roward in due time.
Tho New York Herald declares:
"Congress must go straight to the
mark-boldly, fairly, openly, in tho
eyes of tho nation and the world
and impeach Mr. Johnson for tho
high crime and misdemeanor of a
usurpation of power, of the exercise
authority against tho law of conspi?
ration with his Cabinet to render
null and inoperative laws tho ener?
getic and honest enforcement of
which was vitally necessary to tho
prosperity of the people and the
peaco and welfare of tho country.
Ou theso broad issues he must be
impeached and removed, and it
must be done this summer, or it will
be too late."
ACQUITTAI, OF REV. GEOKOE T.
WrtiiiiAMS.-Wo are informed that
tho Rev. George T. "Williiinis, of
Suffolk, has been honorably acquit?
ted ol the charge of picking a wo?
man's pocket in Now York, and that
ho was to have left that city for his
home in Virginia yesterday after?
noon. Tho indictment against him
quashed on tho ground of tho insuf?
ficiency of tho evidence and the cha?
racter of tho witnesses.
[Petersburg Index, 19///.
The National Intelligencer denies
"that militury government in this
country is capable of legal sanction.
It is the subversion of all law, and
cannot, therefore, have any higher
sanction than theft, robbery or mur?
der. Yet we say to the South, yield
a willing obedience to the despotism
the Republicans have put on you.
And we say, further, keep au account
of your sacrifices-an accurate and
full account, with names, dates and
facts-for the day of judgment will
come."
A SUGGESTION.-Referring to the
movement to erect a monument in
Atlanta to the rueniory of the "la?
mented Lincoln," the Macon Tele?
graph says:
As it would save the salary of au
architect, and some delay in getting
up tho work, we would suggest that
tue Association make purchase of
tho romains of the old Georgia Ruil
road Rank and let them stand ns they
are. As a monument they would be
both conspicious and appropriate.

LADIES' SOCIETY
In Aid of the

Will take place
In Washington, D. G., August 1, '67.
THE "Ladies' Society in aid of the Suf?
fering and Destitute I'oor of the South"
would respectfully and earnestly call the
attention of thc generous Northern public
to the great distress and fearful suffering
now prevailing in th" Southern States.
Letters aro daily received from the South,
from the Generals Commanding, Govern?
ors, ministers and eminent citizens, fur?
nishing tho most heart-rending details of
the actual want, famine and starvation in
their ?mun .bate neighborhood. Tho fol?
lowing few extracts from the very many
letters received by thc Secretary and Ma?

Q'DQUARTEBS, ITU MlLlTAltV DIST.,
(MISSISSIPPI AS? ARKANSAS.)
ViCKSDUBO, Miss., May 13, 1867.
I ?nu glad to seo that the attention of the4
gentle and humane ladies of the North is
being turned towards tho .--ad and desolate
condition of this once happy land.
You. Madam, surrounded with the plenty
and comforts of a wealthy city, can scarcely
appreciate the fact that, in many parts of
tho South, whole communities are, by a
failure in crops and the absence of money
ur its equivalent, left in want of the neces?
saries of life; and that poor women, with
large families of helpless children, BO ac?
customed to depend on the labor of ot hers,
that now, with no husband, brother or
servant to help, and no money, they du not
know what to do or where to go for food;
but are left in tho solitudes of these South?
ern forests, in rags and gaunt with hunger,
Bubsistiug on what the mother or larger
children can shoot or pick un in the woods,
or on what the few neighbors, nearly aa
poor as they are, can bring them.
Officers of my acquaintance have mot
with such mothers, long after dark, out in
the woods, with an old gnu just tired, and
the coon or possum just killed; have gone
homo with them and met the group of little
starvelings waiting patiently mother's re?
turn with some of tho only sort of food
they had lasted for weeks; and women and
children have been found within sixty miles
of the capital of a Southern State, during
the past year, wdio had starved to death in
their lonesome cabins. These cases of
great distress aro rare in Southern cities,
for there, even tho most delicately bred can
generally find some work which they can
do to keep tho wolf from the door; blit thu
farms or plantations in the Sont li arc pe?
culiarly secluded, with miles ot forest or
swamp between thurn, poor roads, and the
stock and animals nearly all taken by tho
war, tho famine, tho floods, or the thieves,
who in such times infest a country, and the
distressed families are often, by the timo
necessity makes them want to leave, too
sick to travel on foot, and there is no other
way to go.
Your prop ?sod entertainment, Madam,
should it produce only funds enough to re?
lieve a small fraction of the destitution of
this country, will be a good beginning, and
may be followed in other cities North by
similar appeals to people who have happily
never felt tho desolation and the horrors
which follow iii the tracks of great armies
Of invasion. God speed your society in tho
good work, is tho wish of, Madam, vours
truly, E. 0. C. OLD,
Brevet Major-General.

Bira. Hnrloice Mather-Mir DEAS MADAM:
I shall be too glad if anything I can say
will aid tho society in its nobie work. A
large proportion of the people of the South
have suffered and many are still suffering
almost to the limit of endurance from the
devastation of war and subsequent failure
of crops. They ure making every possiblo
exertion to revive theif various branches
of industry and become self-supporting.
Tho liberal assistance which the Northern
people are well able to give, will rclievu a
gn at amount of distress, and will no doubt
bo sufficient to place tho poor of the South
beyond further suffering for food. Thc
recent manifestations of au almost univer?
sal desire throughout tho South fora really
fraternal rc-uniou with the North, may well
servo to stimulate the genorous sympathies
of the Northern people, while nothing could
?lo more to foster and encourage the growth
of a healthy sentiment in tho South than
the generous aid which it is tho mission of
ymir society to iuvoke. I sincerely hope
the noble efforts of the society may rosull
in the most abundant success. I am, dear
Madam, verv respectfullv, vonr obedient
servant, * J. M. SCHOFIELD,
Major-General.
HEADQUARTERS, SECOND MILITARY DIVISION,
CUARLESTON, S. C., May 13, LSt>7.
The excellent purpose you have in view
cannot be too much commended. Tho lib?
erality of the Government of the United
States, and the munificent contributions
already made for the relief of the wide?
spread destitution in the States, leaves
great numbera unprovided with food and
clothing. And until an abundant harvest
enables the people beru to do more for
themselves, I trust the ever generous and
prosperous committee* of tho North will
continuo their noble gifts to this impover?
ished and afflicted population. With my
best wishes for tho success of your under
I taking, I remain, Madam, very respectful

Kermit me not only to give you the as?
surance of my poor help in this your gen?
erous endeavor to relieve our impoverished
and unhappy people, but to oxprods to you
in their behalf, that gratitude which is so
eminently your due fur the generous sym?
pathy manifested by your organization' fur
those among us in distress. Wishing you

GREENSBORO, May 14, 1867.
Have just returned from a tour through
thc section made memorable by "Sher?
man's march to tho seaboard." Poverty,
suffering and destitution of thu people can
scarcely bc realized -living m huts, rudely
constructed of charred boards, of rails,
boughs and mud, you aro met by hollow
eyed, emaciated forms, whose first words
aro "broad*'- for something to htiile the
cravings of hunger. In one place, I wit?
nessed tho body of a child borne to its last
rest, ou a board, in the samo raga in which
it died. In another, four females nxiatod
for a wooli oil two pounds of corn,together
with some roots. Un tho road, 1 mot an?
other who had walked twelve miks to beg
some food for her children. Many other
instances can be given ot' sad Buffering
from actual want ot Te id. Very trulv,
FREDERICK WAT IS, .M." D.
Tho public have already responded nobly
to tho call, but not to tho extent required
to keep starvation from making victims of
many. Additional funds must be raised at
once; the case is urgent. The Lady Ma?
nagers, after mature deliberation, have
decided to bring it before thc generous
people of tho North, by giving a Grand
National Entertainment, trusting to their
active co-operation and sympathizing aid
for the immediate supply of moans to en?
able thom to purchase and forward food
to starving thousands. Tho Grand Na?
tional Entertainment will bo given at
Washington, D. C., August 1,1867. 300,000
tickets will bc offered for salo, at $2 each.
Evorv ticket will bo entitled to an award,
which will take place at the same time,
Half of thc amount will bo in valuable
awards to tho hoblers, and the balance will
bo devoted at once by the Lady Manager?
to purchasing food to be sent Mouth foi
immediate distribution among tho most
needy. The Lady Managers have enteret:
into an arrangement with Messrs.Boutley

SUPPORT Yon? OWN JOURNALS.
The t'?leaner, issued every "Wednes?
day, from this office, defies competi?
tion ns n literary and news journal.
Those who subscribe to it arc kept
?well posted up in the current events
of the day, ns it embraces the tele?
graphic news, political, commercial,
state of the markets, &t\, up to the?
il our of going to press.
REMEDY FOR DULL TIMES.-The
best remedy for dull times is to ad?
vertise freely. Merchants should not
let their stocks stay shelved until
they become old, stale aud unprofit?
able, for the sake of the small ex?
pense it would cost them to adver?
tise. If they try it regularly and
persistently, they will find the in?
vestment to be a paying one.
TRUE.-Here is a fact which can?
not be too often repeated: When you
see a mau who advertises liberally,
you may be certain of finding a good
stock of goods in his store, that he
keeps up with the market, and sells
cheaper than those who do not ad?
vertise. If you want good bargains,
always patronize those who avail
themselves of tho advantages afforded
through the advertising columns of
their paper.
Jon PRESTI?O.-The Job Office of
tlie Phoenix is as complete as any in
the South. It is furnished with new
fonts of type of all descriptions and
of tho most modern styles. All work
executed promptly, with taste and
I skill, nud at reasonable rates.
REMITTANCES TO THIS OFFICE.-As
i several letters have failed to reach u*,
we desire to say to all our friends who
may be making remittances to this
office, to do so either by "registered"
letters or through the agency of the
Southern Express Company. The
latter is a reliable and safe mode of
transmission on any line over which
it does business. Wo hope those in?
terested will attend to this request.
TELEGRAPHIC DESPATCHES.-The
Phoenix and (?leaner are tho only
papers in the State, outside of the
city of Charleston, that receive and
publish the latest telegraphic de?
spatches, market reports, etc.-Ame?
rican and European. Recollect, also,
that the news in these publications is
furnished throughout the upper Dis?
tricts twenty-four hours ahead of the
Charleston papers. The subscription
to the daily is $8 a year; tri-weekly
5, and weekly S3.
UP-HILL BUSINESS.-Oue of the
slowest, and hardest, nud most un?
necessary jobs ever undertaken, is
for a man to build up a successful
business without advertising. Fifty
or a hundred years ago it was easier,
because there was less competition,
and the facilities for getting adver?
tisements before the public were not
so good; but in the jostle of modern
competition, those who sit down aim
j wait for customers aro almost sure
! not to get many of them, while by
judicious advertising a man may. in
six weeks, make his name and busi?
ness as familiar to the public as those
of his competitors of twenty years'
standing. ^__
