Wednesday Morniay . January 8,1873 ? ? ... . , , i. *., liirect Trade and Immigration. ' In casting abont for expedients by which onr prosperity may be revived in this State, we have found it profitable on more than one occasion to refer to the example of energy, enterprise , and far reaching intelligence eet ub by our neighboring ooraruonweath of Georgia. We have pointed with admiration to the stirring, active spirit of her people. They find much work before them to do, and they do.it with their might. In agriculture, mechanical tradee and manu? facturing, they challenge our approba? tion no loss than in their regard for. tho edooatlonal and moral interosts of ? their citizens, ? Their |present delegation in fifoagr^eea js straining every nerve to aetfure favorablo logislntion in aid of the Atlantic and Great Western Oanal, and Sh?> piu^w.. ivSalug aO ?uu uiavmim development of tho State, apparently in accord with tho popular feelipg at home. They seem to have conoluded that the^ old policy of opposition to internal im? provement, on constitutional grounds, should be abandoiied. A- oomarittee appointed at the last session of the General Assembly, to take into consideration the subject of direct trade and immigration, has lately held its sessions in Maoon, and made a report, - which we regard as judicious and wiee, progressive and conservative, at the same time. They show how the two are mu? tually dependent, and that the chief bond between them is transportation of a cheap, prompt, regular and direct nature They justly regard direct com? mercial . intercourse an a powerful moral agent in producing snob oharaoter of immigration as will add to the wealth, flooiul advantages and political weight of . the State. They have agreed te report three bills for the consideration of the legielature: one to encourage aud aid direct ateam transportation between Georgia and Europe; another to organ? ize a bureau of immigration and foreign trade; and a third to provide for a pro? per description of the State, with maps, *0., Bui table for immigrants, and its translatica ?ad diffanoa in foreign ??Mtriea.-/ * * \ J; ' 0 on oujrren tly with this report, wo have an address issued by a committee of ?even, .of which Gen. J. B. Gordpn is -Chairman, "appointed by resolution of the Georgia State Agricultural Conven? tion at Griffin, in AngUBt last, "to the planters, furruera and mechanics of the sevenStates Southi of the parallel of 35 degrees North latitude, on the subject of Southern immigration and direct trade, to call a convention of the same, in the persons of their representatives, to meet at Augusta, on the second Tuesday in February next." In pursuance of this resolution, the committee calls upon the plante?, farmers and mechanics of the States of South Carolina, Georgia, Flo? rida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas, as well as upon the commer? cial centres of Charleston, Savannah, Mobile, New Orleans and Galveston, to meet the Goorgia State Agricultural So? ciety in Convention, at the time aud plaoo above named, for the purpose of bringing about, if possible, an united and general aotion on the part of the cotton States in furtherance of tho great objects for which it was appointed. Our columns happen to be orowded this morning, but wo cheerfully comply with the request of the committee, in doing onr part to give this call the cir? culation which the importance of the subject demands. We oopy the material portion of the address, and trust that it may be responded to by. strong and in? fluential delegations from this State. The,committee say: Actual experience has Bhown that the establishment of foreign immigration to our shores is by no mean j an easy mat? ter. Prejudices abroad have to be re? moved; we must make onrselves known, and the great indnoement3 and advan? tages whioh oar Southern couutry offers. We think that a combined effort for these purposes Would bo most likely to lead to the desired 6nd, and for this we wish to meet for counsel, leaving it to the several States to carry out the details abroad..- ... * Nor is the West entirely free from iu terestin the matter of Bouthern immi? gration. We even think that the West Should encourage,.instead to discourage, immigration through onr ports. We must ever, in a great measure, remain the, rootton-growing country of the world. What we n6ed to compete with India in the ootton markets of the world In the opening of innumerable small farm,e a greatly enhanced production of ootton bysmalJ farmers upon their own lands. On the other hand, as we in? crease in population, tho West will in? crease in cash-paying customers, for it Is oertain that as a oottou growiug soe? ben; we must continue to draw our pro? visions largely from that quarter. The Western farmer is not a money-making matt, pis roitineration almost entirely consists in-the increase of the, value of landed pftttett* by the immense immi tion. The Southern wall farmer, on tho contrary, with no increase in the euro to be,able to lS by?oMethJnp ojery year. A 8ofathem Immigration ana an unbroken and rapid communication of the Weat with the" South Atlantio- Bea poria. would therefore toad greatly to increase the wealth of the Western Iarmor. ! There is another aspect which, it apt bears to as, makes it desirable that by Ioint action tho West and South should tasten to establish a diroot Southern trade and immigration. 26,000,000 Americans now pay unstinted tribute to the Bast. At the expense of the South and West, a huge commercial wealth and preponderance has been established, which quickly and surely is progressing in ite ulterior' aim of imposing eternal commercial impotence upon two-thirds of our common country. This commer? cial preponderance also means political1 power. Hence, top, a vast amount of our agricultural products, aud of the labors of tho Western and South-western farmer, is absolutely unrewarded toill Already the" arms of this monopoly are I seeking the sole possession of all lines North and Sooth; let ub likewise seek to counteract it by the establishment of lines East and West. Yet suoh, from late etatiatios, ia tho recuperative power of this Southern country, that despite this Eastern com? mercial supremacy and the lack of cheap transportation and ooramunioution with the West, we not only have maintained the figure which Southern direct trade had reached in 1860, but that we in 1870 had augmented it, aud in 1872 it must bo much greater than in 1870. This is en? couraging, when, without any effort on tho part of the South, the natural re? sources tempted foreigners to come to us to buy our produce; but suoh a Bort of recuperation can be but Blow, and would, in tho rapid development of this age, leave as far behind in the* race. It is, then, to hasten this prosperity, to meet you in true Amerioan fellowship aud brotherhood, that we may take counsel together for the common weal of our country, that the Georgia State Agricul? tural Convention has appointed us to cordially invite yon to send full delega? tions of your best men. * * ?? Blue Ridge Scrip Caie. In the Supreme Court, yesterday, Mr. Chamberlain, of counsel for therelators, .read the reply to tho return of the Comp? troller-General, in the case of the State of Booth Carolina ex relatione Robt. C. Shiver and others, against S. L. H?ge, Comptroller-General of said State. At? torney-General Helton stated that the reply was elaborate, and, in some points, unexpected. He asked, therefore, far? ther time to advise with his assooiate oounsel, whioh the Court granted, fixing the time for argument aud trial this morning, at 10 o'clock. In another place in our oolumus will be found the reply to the return. JBowen vs. DkLabge.?The New York Tribune correspondent at Washington sent the following despatch to that jour? nal on Saturday hint: The Houbo Elections Committee will make a decision in the Boweu-DoLarge contested case before the 15th inst. Mr. Boweu is confident that he will bo given the seat in time to draw tho two yeare' salary, mileage, stationery and other perquisites, before the Congress expires on the Ith of Maroh. DeLarge, hold? ing the seat, has of courso druwn pay and allowances up to date, so tho Go? vernment will be out of pockot ?12,000 or $15,000 by reason of the contest, und will, beside, have to pay the expenses I incurred by both contestants in taking testimony. BlUXiXtlAKT Show'ek of Meteors.?The ship R. O. Winthrop, from Antwerp, just arrived at New York, passed through a great shower of meteors, when about 100 milos North of Madeira. It was on the night of November 27. The shnwor began at dark, and lasted two and u half hours. As near as could bo judged thoro were over 1,000 meteors in the air constantly, until tho last hour of the show, when they diminished. "About four-fifths of the meteors appeared like small balls of fire, moving leisurely through the air, but others moved with great velooity, leaving in their tracks a trail of fire resembling that iu tho wake of a comet.'.' An Annapolis paper, alluding to the young ooloredcadot, says: "Young Gon yers, who was at one time supposed to fare rather roughly from his compan? ions at the academy, meets now with very kind treatment, so far as being treated with entire oivility is coucerned. The yonng men had a meeting in one of the large rooms of the academy, and de? termined to desist from any treatment whioh could be oonstrued into disre peot or inoivility, and Conyers since then has enjoyod an entire cessation from tho 'hazing' ho used to enjoy so fre? quently." Accident.?Wo learn that as the train on the Charlotte, Columbia and Augus ta Railroad, was ooming North Saturday night, one of the train hands was seri? ously injured if not killed at the tank, about seven miles from this city. He was on top of the tank, pumping water into the engtno, when, by some mishap, he lost his footing, and fell to the ground. ? Charlotte Obsei-ver. Homicide.?On the 2-Uh ult., Mr. John S. Means, Jr., of Charlotte, got intw an altercation 'with a negro man, named Frank Kerr, whioh resulted in tho death of tho latter. Means was on horseback and the negro in a wagon, and they got to sonilling over a gun, which I tho negro oarried. Kerr fell out and the wagon, ran over, him, inflicting an in? jury of whioh ho died in a few hoars. [ A bTRANOB PBOOKKDrNO.^-We b?T6 been informed that OomptroUer-Geuered? H?ge has addi-eea*d 3 ?>maubio*tio?to County Treasurer Smifcbt ordwiDg him to collect aWof half a mill on the dol? lar, additional to the general assessment, to create a fand for the support of so called victims of Ku Kluxlsm in this County. While this levy may be ac? cording to law, as enaotod by onr wooly headed legislators, it is manifestly un? just, not so say infamous, aud should be resisted by all lawful means. Wo were not aware that it had been established that there are any citizens of this County who oan legally claim the benefit of thjs tax. It has been obsorted that the mur? der era of Harry Shelton and Nancy Ooleman were those who were popularly known as Ku Klux, but no proof has ever been offered to substantiate suoh an assertion, nor have any parties ever been arrested charged with tho killing of those unfortunate persons. This action od the part of the Comptroller-General, is deserving of the severest condemna? tion, and Bhonld be deuounced in tho plainest and most forcible terms. To assert that persona have been mur? dered or maltreated in thin County on account of their political opinions, is to assert that which is not sustained by any evidence whatever. It is a fa bo and oowardly imputation upon the law-abid? ing character of our people, and wo so stigmatize it. The great injustice of tho law is patent. It makes parties living without the oonflues of the Couuty, who own property in it, responsible for acts in the commission of which they had no ageuoy whatever. Could anything be more outrageous or atrocious? Aud yot Mr. H?ge sayii wo must pay this tax. Wo say, boldly and emphatically, dou't pay this tax. Hake an issue on it, and carry it before tho highest legal tribunal in the Stato. To the General Assembly we say, re? peal this monstrous imposition called u tax. To Gov. Moaes we say, use your official influence to have this iniquitous measure immediately repealed. If you dcoline to interfere, and trouble ensues, then upon your shoulders bo tho awful responsibility. Wo do not counsel strife and bloodshed, but when a government fails to protect its subjects then it is high timo that those subjects provide meats to protect themselves.?Winnsboro News, Worthy of Notkjb.?It will be re? membered that u number of Ku Klux prisoners left hero on Tuesday of last week for Now York, by tho steamer James Adger, Capt. Thomas Luck wood. TheBepri8onor8 were in charge of Uuited States officials, aud, according to the terms of transportation, wcro ouly enti? tled to restricted privileges in tho ship. Capt. Lockwood, of the Adger, who is ns kiud-hearted a man as he is an expe? rienced a seaman, as soon as these unfor? tunates fell to his treatment, disposed of them iu a manner far different from what thoy expected would bo tho course?al? lowed them the use of the cabin, pro? vided thorn with state rooms, extra co? vering, aud in numerous ways evinced a kindliness of heart towards them de? serving of more enduring record than is hero insured. The prisoners themselves were completely overwhelmed with gra? titude, and not one that left that noble ship failed to bear away with him memo? ries that doubtless now arc lighting up tho dark hours that necessarily invest their lives. ? Charleston Courier. Tue Indian War.?Tho latest advices from the seat of tho Modoc war states that the regulars aro waiting for the transportation of howitzers. In tho meantime tho forces cf Captaiu Jack aro daily increasing. The Modocs are gradually being rein? forced by stragglers from tho reserva? tions, and it is believed that some of the Pitt River Iudians have joiued them. The timo of tho Orogon volunteers has almost expired, and thoy will soon be mustered out of sorvice. There are 23? soldiers iu the field. Takiug those re? quired for guard aud escort duty loaves only sevonty-fivo for lighting, which is less than the Iudians now number; aud there are ouly fourteen soldiers at Fort Klamath to guard 2,500 Indians on tho reservation there Should the fight linger for some time there is dauger of their breaking out nnd joiuing the Mo? docs. HoiumiLE Accident Near Monroe, N. C.?A young mau of sevontoou, named Hartsoll, was going to Monroe, tho day before Christmas, and finding ?Steward's Ford flushed with water, he took out one of his horses to try tho ford aud made two attempts to cross. Tho horse became frightened, ran off aud threw the young man, whoso foot canght iu the gear, aud he was dragged a quar? ter of u milo. Tho horso in running knocked dowu several panels of fence with the unfortunate young mau, crush? ing him into a shapeless mass. [Southern Home. The Situation in Cuba.?Itecont de? spatches show that notwithstanding Spanish representations to the contrary, fighting in Cuba is still goiug on?aud that the rebels, so far from being a dis? orderly rabble, are under fcfcriot military discipline and organization. To-subdue them, it is reusouable to suppose will re? quire double the number of troops Spain has now on the island. ?A mun named L. Watson, said to be a native of Savannah, Ga., and Benjamin Crowder, an Englishman, have been tried at "De Crugiu, Hungary," and the former sentenced to six months' impri? sonment, for remarks not considered complimentary to the Emperor of Aus? tria, aud the latter to throe months, for resisting arrest on same occasion. The Wilmington Star says: "General Oharlos 13. Stuart, President of tho pro? jected railway line. ..-from Norfolk to Charleston via Wilmington, will bo.in our oity about the 10th inst., when the enterprise will be vigorously pushed.

While the fire companies were prac? ticing, yesterday afternoon, a eon of Mr. James Davia met with a slight aooident. He was run over by the Hook and Lad? der track, but fortunately was only slightly bruised. He was taken to the drug store of Geiger & McGregor, where Dr. Goiger rendered the necessary as? sistance. The patient shortly after walked off unaided. Governor Moses has appointed the fol? lowing Notaries Fublio: Charleston? Phillip G. Ptdraer; Orangeburg?A. 13. Knowltou. J.

The unuual meeting of the Ladies' Sowing Society, of Trinity Church, will be held this afternoon, at 4 o'clock, at the Rectory. A full attendance is re? quested, us tboro is business of impor? tance to be brought before the meeting. A gallant polioomau turned the corner of Washington stroct on a dark night. "Who's there?" cried he to an approach? ing figure. "It's only me, policeman. Don't be afraid," aaid an old lady. In? stant relief was experienced. The parade of tho firemen, yesterday nftcrnoon, attracted large crowds to tho strools aud windows. They are noblo volunteers, who richly merit all the praise and material aid ever bestowed upon them.

John B. Pal? mer, President; A. G. Brenizer, Cashier; C. K. G. Butt, Assistant Cashier, and T. Hascll Gibbog, Book-keeper. We will only add that tho report of the President and Directors shows this bank to be in a flourishing and sound condi? tion, one evidenco of which is in the fact that during tho past year six per ceut. on the capital stock, being $9,000, has been carried to the surplus fuud. Firemen's Parade.?Yesterday beiug the anniversary of the formation of the Palmetto Fire Eogiuo Company, they celebrated it by parading our principal streets, escorted by the Independent Fire Engine and the Phoenix Hook and Lad dor Companies. The procession was a fine display, both in the number of members and the appearance of the dif? ferent machines. The steamers were brilliant in polish. The Palmetto was drawn by a fioo pair of horses and the Iudependent by a largo pair of males, the members of the Hook and Ladder Company manning the drags of their apparatus. The companies halted at the corner of Main and Gervais streets, and engaged in friendly emulous praotioe. Tho steamers preserved their well-earned reputation for promptness, and displayed their great effectiveness, whenever occa? sion should require. The Hook and Ladder Company also exhibited excel? lent knowledge in tho management of their hooks and ladders, and made ex? traordinary timo in their running and praotioe. Tho Palmettoes appeared under the command of President Stan? ley; tho Independents, nndcr President Dorsey, and the Hook and Ladder Com? pany, under President Little. The pro? cession was headed by the Firemen's Band, under the leadership of Professor LyBrand, which discoursed exoellont music, and madeahandBome appearance in the familiar and ever-loved grey. After the praotioe, tho companies re? paired to the hall of the Palmettoes, when refreshments were furnished; after partaking of which, the escort marched to their quarters and disbanded. irero colored. They came from Union Dpttnty, and are going to settle in Mia ?isippi, Arkansas and Florida. We Je>xh that large numbers will leave that seotion loon for the West. .-,.->-.? -" ^ . . .

Outrage ?Yesterday afternoon, while the members of the Palmetto Fire Com? pany were engaged in their anniversary celebration, and immediately after their brother firemen and guests had with? drawn, a crowd of half-grow*n negroes attempted to enter tho premises, when the doors were closed, and all intruders ejected. This seems to have roused the ire of the negroes, as they immediately throw a great number of bricks and other missiles into tho yard, among the fire? men, striking Mr. Wm. Kennedy in the face, inflicting a painful wound, and hit? ting Mr. T. P. Purse and others. This is an infernal outrage, which merits the most bitter condemnation.

A Good Thing Duly Appreciated. ? No beneficial revolution over goes back? ward; and this maxim is as invariable in mediotno as in politics. Toe advent of Hosteller's Stomach Bitters, twenty years ago, pjpd?ced a revolution in tho treatment ofa large class of ailments, and that revolution has ever since been in the "fall tide of successful experi? ment." If that tide has borne the pro? prietors of the celebrated vegetable specifio "on to fortune," it has also borne thousands of human beings,*who wero languishing under the effeots of disease, weak and hopeless, out of the depths of despondency into the paradise of health and cheerfulness. It is no exaggeration to say, that to the vigor, the regularity of habit oi body, the good appetite and porfeot digestion, acquired under the operation of this unequaled tonio and corrective, multi? tudes of people in every walk of life, who had boon vainly physicked in the usual way, owe the blessings of ronewed health and the prospect of prolonged life.
