Hnsorxcctiou In New Yorfc.
Elsewhere in our issue of to-day, wiil be found
an account of a grand und fearful riot in Now
York. Tho mob, in their resistance to Abraham
Lincoln's Conscription carried all before them;
Uko the beasts iu Revelation, " they broke, tore
in peicui, and stamped thc residue with their feet."
This is tho most gratifying and promising news
we haro had for a long time. Wo may look for
a speedy re-enactmcut of the scene in some other
part of Lincolnddtn. That G*od may hurry on
their confusion is our prayer.
(? :r Government und Repudiation.
M'.j bclievo ttio world ha.-' u?ver sven so religious
nn army as that of ih? Confederate States ?ince
the days of Charles tba X11, who always had
prayers road at the head of his army night lind
morning. Wo do not except the Puritan Army
of Oliver Cromwell, for we bavo long thought,
as old Noll himself, upon a memorable occiuy/in,'
said to Col. Harrison, " thi" were often upon their
knees socking not God but a cork-screw."
V.rs hold too the ??mc high opinion of tho civil'
department of the Confederate Government. Wo
havo believed tbut they wero a just, upright,
God-fearing sc: of men : wu still think so, and
will continuo to think so untilMbij cherish?d
opinion is torn from us by an open act of dere
liction from the pnth of honor on the part of
those whom we have trusted.
But what mean these e vil reports that are com
-ig up to us. f:r-t from Charleston and now from
Hickjiond, of au intention on the part of Govorn
jieut to repudiate the publie debt '! This repudia
ion, siys tho correspondent of tho Mf.rca.ry, hos,
t is said, the sanctiou of the lion. lt. M. T. lljin
or. We do not believe this of Mr. Hunter, and
TC aro sure that the Secretary of tho Treasury,
Mr. Mr in ui i nt ur, will never lend his intluence Jo
.uch a nefarious schciuo. We have lbs utmost
onfidenee ia Mr. Mein m in ger ns a man of honor
md integrity, and wo ara sure he will nuver sane
ion a fdieuie of downright fraud.
Wc arc pained however, and alarmed, wc eon
ess, that such charge* can be brought an.i-dis
ussed publicly in our news papers. Tho mero
ireulotion of suth rumors by tho Press is calcu
ated to do serious injury to tho currency of tho
ou:itry. Public credit, like female virtue, must
ot only be pure, but ahovo suspicion. We know
hat theso reports aro already bHgetting distrust
nd suspicion in tho public mind, and working
ujury ti tho finnnciai internst of the county.
Vc think therer?ro that thc interestof thc country
omands of tho e in authority at once to set at
???i Ihe public mind on this subject
Wc arc disposed lo ducmsit this report not only
-om tho known integrity of our public servants,
nt because thc thing is so manifestly impolitic,
t requires no profound skill iu finance to judge
!" a matter of this sort; it. reiolves- itself into a
iosiicu of fact-and about this we have bet'er
jportnnities of judging than the most skilltuT
Diuo?er hummed iu his ('(li?e in Iiichtound. The
?efltiou i:< simply this-will the reduction o'f tho
tere.?t on the 8 and 7 per cont bonds duetroy
o confidence of the people in the currency of
o country ? We ansWor without heuinikin that j Ji
will. And no pecuniary gain eau at ell tom- ! 0
nsiite for such an injury. This would surely j
the most short sighted of all measures. If tho
ivomuiont should ever resalvo to destroy it's I L

For thc Advertiser.
Mr.. EoiTon,-Dear Sir,-In theso times of
speculation, and m nu i a for money making, it is
like the Osh in thc desert to the weary traveller,
to record acts of liberality, for tho rolief of the
families of soldiers who are battling for our rights,
and nobly dofeudiug our homes and firesides from
the ruthless invader. Such an act of liberality
tho Soldiers'Board of Relief for this Distriet, (akT
great pleasure in acknowledging from Mr. JA MUS
Joxas Guitar, to tho amount of . Two Thousand
(2,000) Dollars this day sent to them, to bo used
.for the relief of .Soldiers' Families.
Mr. ?HRGO is no?*-in the eeryiee of his eonntry,
.in'any, by"usf?g bis mbaty'th Kiri 'atitbitituteto'
screen himself from danger, nobly gives it to the
p*or and con.inuos at his post'.
How matty in bdgcfield ure willing to follow thc
example thus set, aud send us donations at our
next mooting, (or sooner if they choose) thc first
Monday in October next? Muuy, webern satisfied'
ouuld givo somefAtiM, if uot ns much as Mr. GKKOO
has done. Wo hope the oxample will bo followed.
The sum in tho aggregate, s?cms large, but when
divided bolween some ),S00 persons, dwindles to
an insignificant amount.

Tho Old Guard is full of tho true npirit
of'76. it hesitates uot to tell the Govern
ment and the people what the war ha* dunc
for the North, as the following article, copied
from it, shows :
How WE ARB REVENGING SOITKR.-Tue
following are the reported casualties of this
wai' from its beginning to January 1st. ltfl?3 :
Federals killed -10,074 ; wounded '.?7.020;
died of disease ami wounds 230,000; made
prisoners 6S.21?; total 459, 37b. Cjuicdt.-rntes
killed 2?,89:?; .wounded 5?),?)l?; did of rii-t
case and wounds 120,000; nude prisoners 22,
1(J9; total 222.C77.
They have kilUid 22.874 more of our men
than wc have of their.?.
They have wounded, not mortally, 39,414
more of our mcu than wo have of theirs.
150 nfjO more of our men have died of dis
ease and wounds than of t heirs.
They have made prisoners of 46,000 more
of our men than we have of theirs.
Onr total casualties are 237,297 more than
theirs-that is, our casualties have been 14,
000 more than as much" again as theirs.
Th?3 is the way wc have " revenged the
firing oii Fort Sumter."
But tLis ?8nct all. ' We have spent almost
2,000,000,000 more of money than they have
spent.
We have made 200,000 of our women
widows.
Wdhave made' 1,000,000 of children fath
erless.
We have destroyed the Constitution of our
country.
We ba7e brought the f> cious savagery
of war into every corner of society.
We have demoralized our pulpits, 30 that
our ver}' religion is a source of immorality
sad blood.
Instead of being servants of Christ, our min
isters are servaut* of Satan.
The land is full of contractor.*, thieves, pro
vost marshals, and a thousand other t>?o?s of
illegal and despotic power, as Kgvpt was ol
vermin in thc days of the Pharaohs.
We are rapidly degenerating in everything
that exalts a nation.
Our civilization is perishing.
We are swiftly drifting into inevitable civil
Par here in tho North.
We are turning our homes into charnel
louses. There is a corpse in every family.
The ang?l of death sits in every d'ior.
The devil has removed from Tartarus to
N Mhington.
Wc pretend that we aro punishing the
abels, but tbey are punishing us.
We pretend that we are rostering thc TJn
o?, but wo are destroying it.
We pretend ibm weare enforcing the laws,
ut wc arc only catching negroes.
That's the way we are "revenging Sum
Selling our souls to the devil and taking
incoln k Co.'ipomixe io j>ay. Wo bavo
'? in ..vreeubackfl and blood.
That is thc way we are " revenging Sum

graduated at West Poiut at the head of his
class. For a year or two after his graduation
ite was a Professor at that institution. Sub
sequently he was assigned to the duty o? ex
perimenting upon "thc power of proj cliies
upon earth, wood and earthworks, and spent
several years in this duty,' acquiring in that
lime more experience and knowledge OMthls
subject than any man in this country. The
more perfectly to record the results of his
experiments he took photographs oj* the ef
fect of every shot fired. At Fort Pulaski he,
for the first time, brought his skill lo the test

Convention o? Nurserymen. .
A prominout Nurseryman'and Fruit-G rower
of a neighboring ^tate, writes us as follows:
D. REUMO.VD, E*q.,;-Dear Sir-Would it
not be wejl for the Nurserymen'of thc South
to meet together some time during the pres
ent summer, for consultation on matters per
taining to their business? It scum's to mc
very desirahV that, at least, there should be j
concert of action in regard topricce adapted !
to thc times. It is preposterous to sell the '
products of the Nursery at the prices which
ruled previous to the war, while everything
else is so enormously high. A regular sched
ule of pries should be established and ad.
hared to by oil engaged in selling trees, vines,
shrubs, dre. Other matters of interest to the
profession, and to Southern promology, might
very properly eugage the attention of an as
semblage of Southern "Nurserymen, and I
abonld bc pleased to see the proposition car
ried into effect.
The object of this note is to suggest to you
the propriety of calling attention to the sub
ject in the columns of tho next issue (if the
.' Cnllivutorf should it meet jonr approba
tion. Lot ti;"* meeting, or convention, be
held, pay nt At'nnfa or Augusta, some time in
the month of August. If yon agree with me,
name the time and place iu the next number
of the Cultivator.
Fully agreeing with the writer of the above,
in the views he has expr ssed, we take the
liberty of appointing Atlanta as the place, and
Wednesday tho 10th of Angitst, as the time
of boldinj: the Convention ; and ^we hope the
importance of the sirbpct will secure a full
tttendance.-Ed. So. CULT.
