FROM GEORGIA

New YORK, Aug. l4.-The steamer Chase
brings Savannah advices to the 10Th inst.
Howell Cobb was in Augusta, and recently
expressed an earnest desire to see Georgia
resume her former position in the Union. -
Slavery, be said, could never be resuscita ed,
and he thought it best for all to submit
promptly and and willingly to the United
States authorities.
Ex-Governor Brown was lately in Allan a.,
and had entirely recovered from his illness.
He regards the question of secession sett ed,
and thinks thst any further agitation on that
and kindred topics should be studiously avoi-
ded. He thinks 1t would be well for the State
Convention to declare slavery at an end in
Georgia, without excitem lent or discussion on
the subject.
Owing to the heavy receipts the prices OF
vegetables in Savannah rule below that of the
New York Market.
On the 9th over one thousand bales of cot
ton arrived at Savannah from Augusta, or
fat boats.

THE COTTON CROP,

We think it will be found upon exam
ination, that the amount of old cotton
now in the South, has been greatly over
estimated. We find the Northern papers
quoting the Petersburg Erpress, to show
that vast amounts of cotton are now rest
ing in the South, awaiting transportation
1t is stated that in the county Of Edge
combe, N. c., ten thousand bales of cot
ton may be found. This may pos
sibly be true, aud we have no doubt but
that large amount of cotton may be
found in Granville and other contiguous
counties. But these are exceptions to
the general rule. The counties named
were supposed to be the safest spots in
the Confederacy. The raids that afflicted
other localities passed them by, and hence
persons having cotton in dangerous loca-
tons moved it into Edgecombe, and Gran
vile and surrounding counties. Take the
cotton counties OF North Carolina and
Virginia that were subjected to the fire.
quent inroads of hostile forces, and see
how small is the amount of cotton that
can be found; and what is true of these
counties, Is true of all localities through.
out the South.
AS to the crop now in the ground, il
must, ofnecessity, be small. Since the sur.
render OF the army of Tennessee, we have
travelled on horseback through the cotton
growing regions of Georgia and South
Carolina, and we know that even on The
largest plantations but a mere patch O
cotton had been planted. The news Of
peace came too late for the planter to
retrace his steps, and put in cotton in.
stead of corn. In the carly spring al
looked forward to the continuance of The
war, and as it had been ascertained tina,
in war "bread and mest," instead of cot.
ton, was king, the planters had made thei,
arrangements to support the new dynasty
and had dropped "Old King Cotton" en-
tareiy. The result must be high figure
for cotton during the next year.

DRUNK ENNEss IN THE SOUTH

Nothing shows the irrepressibiity of
that hostility toward the South, says the
Boston Courier, which a certain class Of
Republicans constantly exhibit, and as
constantly deny, than the appearance of
such squibs as the following in the New
York Times. Speaking of a certain
rebel General Hill who was lately arrested
in Washington for being drunk, the Times
says:
"Let the press be merciful TO this Hill. If
he got drunk, he simply kept up the custom of
1 his old home; Tor it is down in Dixie that the
flowing bowl flows most lavishly, where
L drunkenness has been reduced to a science
1 and to be habitually sober will Tin the case OF
] white mani subject The offender to suspi-
cion of conspiring against the State.''
We say that this shows irrepressibility
of malice, because the Times is on its
good behavior now, and in close conti-
guilty to the above we find the follow
ing:
"The mere cessation of hard language be-
tween the two sections is fac: of immense
account. True, it is of merely negative char
acter 1t involves in itself no positive recon-
cilation, no real concord of spirit. But it is
a necessary antecedent. Reconstruction would
be a moral impossibiity under any such in
diligence of mutual reproach as prevailed be-
fore the rebellion. The rebel spirit would be
kept as rank as ever, and loyalty would have
no chance for new growth"
The idea of any denizen of New ork,
and especially Bohemian of the New
York press, reviling the South for its
love Of whiskey, is certainly as cheeky"
as the two paragraphs taken together are
inconsistent.

RETURN OF SPECIE PAYMENT.

Upon this interesting event, so far in the
distance, we fear, the Financial Chronicle Of
this week has the following:
Our paper money at preseot consists Of
about ST., 900 900 900, which is fer more than
is required by the business of the country
How much is the amount of excess can only
be discovered by experiment; but if the paper
were redeemab g on dema.d in coin, the sg
gregate would probably fall to $500 900 600,
or even less We do not fl upon this amount
positively, but only approximately, as the
maximum. But whatever lie the aggregate
OF circulation which the country can keep
afiost and use for its daily exchanges, it is
inevitable that all issues beyond that sum
must be paid off and withdrawn before We
can return to a specie basis.
Let us be well assured that there is no easy
path to specie payments. The road is diff
cult, slow, and clearly defined 1t consists in
taking up of our surplus notes and. paying
them off This is not only the method ca,
joined by financial science, but it is the only
plan provided by Congress. A special loan
has been authorised for this purpose, and the
Secretary of the Treasury is invested with
power to sill bonds, to put a loan on he mar
ket whenever 1t shall appear to him that the
time has arrived for the successful carrying
out of the policy of contraction. This is the
only resource Mr.. McOnlioch has; the only
measure, probably, which he will ever have.
for Withdrawing tie currency, and contracts
ting the volume of our inhat ed aud redundant
paper monry
Cor acting lhe circulation means paying
off some of cur notes; paying these off means
negotiating special loan for the purpose; and
without such a contraction, without such a
rails ng of an adequate loan, we cannot return
to specie payments.
These simple elementary truths, if we are
to Judge him flom the representations of some
of his leas, judicious friends, Mr.. McCulloch
seems to have temporarily lost sight of in his
receat manip ulAtions of the currency.

csived here from prominent citizens Of Texas
state that very many of those who were in
tense secessionists are now equally ss ferveut
and Jealous for the Union. The largest
Shareholders express themselves IecoDciled to
the changed condition of affairs, aad say that
well regulated free labor will prove more
profitable than servile help, the war having
irretrievsbly demoralIzed the domestic insti-
tuition, The crops throughout Texas ere res
presented as good, and the opinion prevails
among the leading men that none of the late
y rebeIlious States will more easily return
to i S former national relations than Texas.
The large increase of the coal Il ade and the
scarcity oil coasting vessels have induced coal
shippers at Georgetown, D. @, to largely ins

GEN. LEES APPLICATION FOR
PARDON,

A Southern paper, says the Baltimore
Sun, originated the idea that Gen. Robt.
E. Lee, applied for pardon because such
an act of his would be beneficial in paci-
flying those of his late followers who are
yet supposed to be covertly inimical to
the Government, or openly discontinued
and FESTIVE. Had no other motives than
this actuated Gen. Lee, it would hard
" have been creditable to him. The
fact is Gen. Lee has manfully accepted
the condition of things as they are, and
has applied for pardon on his own &C
count, and not on behalf of others. 1t
is stated that his application was drafted
more than six weeks ago, and was SUBJ
mittedto his friends for their unpreju.
diced counsel and judgment. 1t was
forwarded without expressed reluctance
to the chief magistrate, in that spirit OF
candor which has always characterized
the public acts Of Gen. Lee, and in doing
so it has been fully shown, that he has
not sought to excuse himself for his in
dividual act, by pretending to be particu'
larly interested in the welfare of others.

HIGH RENTS.

In walking around town few evenings
since, we met with friend who is doing
business on Main street. We made some
inquiries as to how he was "gettine
along, &C. This led to the subject O.
rents, and he informed us that, for The
store ne was occupying, he was paying,
this year, six hundred dollars. He further
said that he had just received notice
from his landlord, til at his rent next wear
would be twelve hundred dollars, aud re.
marked that this would drive him out of
town. We understand that this is not an
isolated case, but that many rentsin this
city will be increased in the same pro
portion. We trust our property holders
will pause in this mad career and reflect
upon the consequences likely to ensue if
this policy is persisted in. They must
remember that the amount Of business
likely to be done for some time in this
city, must necessarily be small. The large
increase Of population does not make bu-
siness. We know that the agricultural
productions of the country trading with
Norfolk have fallen off greatly since the
war, and some time must elapse before
we can reach the old standard of receipts
of corn, cotton, peas AID truck. Upon
what, then, are these great hopes of bust
ness baseds And why should rents be
more than doubled in our city If the
men now in business in Norfolk can make
money, OF even living, by the "jacket-
swapping" process, all we'll and good it
will evince cuteness in our present pop
ulation which might have been searched
for in vain amongst our "anti- war-delu-
viaus.'' But should the contrary prove
to be the case, and for want of business
and high rents, this access to our mum.
bers should be driven from amongst us,
how disastrous will be the effect, and when
and how shall we ever lure them back
1t has been we'll said, that moderation
and prudence should, more than ever, be
the cardinal principles of every patriot. "
Our property holders should take these
words Of wisdom to heart, and apply them
as we'll to the material interests" of our
city, as we trust and believe, they will be
found applying them to the political in
terests' of our beloved State
