important instruments in the way of adj
vanclng knowledge, refinement and all
Kinds OF improvement, are said to have
existed among the Chinese for agcs with
out having been used for any important
practical purpose. Among these may be
mentioned printing, and the knowledge of
the magnet and needle. The composition
of gunpowdcr was also known to them be-

to have been contemporary with Moses.
In IA political. aspect China presents a
phenomenon equally singular. Other ma
tons have had their periods of vigour
and decay, both produced by causes sus-

their history illustrate principles. The
love of glory such as made Greece heroic:
the thirst of power which rendered Rome
ambitious: The commercial spirit of Tyre

character has been developed and the
energies of man have found exercise.

To The Editor Of the Argus:
Sri have noticed
with regret for two years past, and with no
little surprise, the remarks made thro' the
Southern press on the subject Of Slavery;
subject on which the southern press, so far as
regards argument, ought most decidedly to
remain dormant. 1t is enough for us to knows
that this unfortunate subject, is not only agita-
ted abroad in our sister non-slave holding
States, but that it bids fair to seperatea Union,
purchased by the property and blood Of our
forefathers. Corruption, Fraud and Misrutes
have unfortunately usurped the place of patri-
otism and virtue in the councils Of our country.
Until the latter resume that station they for
merly held when the father of our country
(WAsHINeToN-God bless his name) seated
them under the Tree of Liberty, and explained
the mode of culture which catsed it TO flourish,
we shall for ever see prosperity thro' glass
darkly. think can realize-in imagination
the virtuous patriot--directing patriotism and
virtue how to preserve the Tree of Liberty
That tree he observed, SIS. manured with the
hearts blood Of martyrs, who sacrificed every
thing to preserve freedoms rights property
and liJs--and have transferred their right in
fee simple to you to protect and cherish" Sus-
picion and treachery are the constant atteh-
dants on corruption and its cant. Abolition
ism is firebrand in southern county, which
calls for the united efforts Of patriotism TO
ward off. The pablic press should guard US.
The correspondence on Slavery between Gov.
Everett and the Hon. Mr.. Morton, Published
in the Columbus Democrat on Saturday the
28th Dec. 1884, is .: frebrand, which, at q

Nh EDTroR, Sr-I am much pleased with
your remarks, in your last number under date
Dec. 2lst, upon the necessity of calling the
attention Of our next Legislature, 10 the legal
izing the Acts Of Record Of Deputy Clerks and
Clerks pro TEN. In the discharge Of duty
which every good citizen owes to the rising
generation, his attention should be called to
this important subject, or we bequeath to pos
terity a stock obligation, which VIII require, at
least, half century to dispose Of.
Your remarks on small Hiils--shewing the
necessity Of small-change currency. has Ike
wise attracted my attention. look upon the
Post-Note system as fraud on the public for
the benefit Of few individuals, who are fatten-
ing upon the distresses of the community at
large; but more particularly upon the distress
ses of those who earn their bread by the sweat
of their brow. 1t can only be tolerated, from
sheer necessity. Specie is now become a
mercantile article, consequently we can have
no hope or expectation of any relief from me-
talic small change. Certain individuals, may
for a time inspire confidence in their own, and
adjoining communities, but they can never pro-
.duce uniformity of small change throughout
the State, and the same serious losses to the
community, may be anticipated, which has al
ready occurred, by the Real Estate Banking
system throughout the whole State Of Missis.
sippi. Confidence at the present day, is based
on sandy foundation. Selr-interest, is the
beacon steered by. The love of promoting the
public veal, by blending self-interest and pub.
lie utility together is totally lost sight of OPP
posed as am to all shinpIaster concerns,
have asked myself the question: would q
drowning man hesitate to seize plank which
fortune might throw in his way1 Certainly
not! Then if the community, have no othel
recourse for obtaining what is SO essential
and absolutely necessary uniform small
change currency, [and no possible hope exists
of metallic one)-would it not be ADVISABLE
for our Legislature at its meeting to take thu
subject into their serious consideration, AM
discuss the propriety of authorizing the Treas
urer of the State to issue such an amount O
Treasury Bills from one to six bits, as in thei
wisdom might be deemed necessary. If an,
profit ARISES, from such an issue (and aprof
there certainly is, or individuals would not s.
eagerly engage in IT'D the State. and conse
quently the whole people Of the State woul
bebenefitted thereby, A uniform srnall-chang
currency would be established IN Mississippi
which to lis citizens would be equal to COL
or siIver--inasmuch as whenever they becam
defaced or unfit for use, they would answer til
purpose of paying taxes, and no doubt, woul
be a source of Revenue TO the State.
Much might be said on this subject, and
the purpose, but my object in this communica
tion,is merely to call the attention ofour Ruler
and Representatives to the subject. / hav
therefore been as brief as possible.
