A LETTER from Gen. For REST
shows that he is progressing with his
Selma railroad with his accustomed
success and energy. He has twenty
miles actually built, and has assured
to him all the means necessary to con-
meet with the Mississippi Central rail
road. He asks, very properly, what
we are doing here, and whether we
desire the advantages that road reach
ing Memphis would secure to US. We
shall act very unwisely if we do not
move in this matter. A letter from
Mr.. THOMAS PETERS to our towns
man, Maj..SYKEs, dated Elyton, Sept.
2, states that a charter for the ElytOn
road has been obtained from the Ala
bama Legislature, and measures taken
to secure the same thing from Missis-
sippi, besides raising the mean for a
suitable survey. Books for subscrip-
ton will be opened at once, and mon
les and lands taken, and an applica-
ton made to Congress for a
land grant. Parties interested
in mineral lands will also be applied
to, and will doubtless contribute lib
orally. Means sufficient to build
twenty miles at each end it is be-
lieved will be raised at home, and it
is expectedthat then ample capital can
be obtained abroad on first mortgage
bonds to complete the whole work.
Sixteen thousand dollars per mile ap-
prOpriated by the State will be then
also available. Thus, if we can Sc
cure the Selma road, its advantages to
US will be greatly augmented. Penn
sylvania iron men are already on the
ground, with large experience and
capital, prepared to reap the advan-
tages, and to throw upon the Selma
road their manufactured iron and coal,
which may be made so advantageous
to us. Energy and cooperation is
demanded. While others work shall
we sleep? And how long, when trade
will be lost by our supineness?

WE have long seer and felt the i'm
portance and danger of that prodig-
iOus one man power which is welded
by Secretary boutwell, on pretense
of paying off the public debt and en-
HANGING the value of the currency.
Whether he or his friends may have
used it for private advantage is not so
momentous an issue to the country as
il the question of what is the extent
of the evil and how the possibility Of
such an abuse in future may be pre-
vented. In u yesterdays edition
We published an article from Gen.
ALBERT PIKE on this subject, which,
like what else comes from his pen,
furnishes food for reflection, and has
doubtless arrested the attention of our
readers. We commend it to the e.
pecial attention Of the planting COM
munity, for whose benefit princi-
pally it was written. As to what
will be the price of cotton, and
what the planter shall do as
TO holding or selling, the opinions of
the wisest men are usually worth lit
tie more than the opinions of mere
guessers, who are rs often right as
wrong. 1t is certain, however, that
facts are as stated by Gen p, and his
arguments those of a more than COM
monty ~sagaciOus mind. There is no
doubt that the Secretary, with his
hundred millions of gold, by cOmbin-
ing with the New York {" bears" can
powerfully influence the price of cot
ton, and that, for a time considerable
enough TO realise their fortunes. And
the Jews now is that they are prepar-
ing 10 control the market if possible.
There is a remedy against these
abuses-a certain, efficient and infalli-
BILE remedy-which is better than
holding cotton for higher prices. And
that Is Direct shipment TO Europe. III
we have for expectation cotton worth
two hundred and fifty millions of
dollars, besides sugar, tobacco, and
rice, IA Gen. PRICE suggests, to the
amount Of one hundred and fftv
millions more, what binders our per-
feet independence and complete com
mand Of the requisite capital for any
purpose? five can place in Europe
two hundred millions Of cotton alone.
equal to 50 many dollars in gold, what
can New York do that we cannot in
the way of importation? Charleston
failed in its effort for direct trade be-
fore the war for want Of capital. 1t
was found that goods could be pur-
chased by the million dollar ship loads. ,
n shipped to New York, and thence ,
TO Charleston itself, at less prices than f,
they could be bought by the hum
dred thousand dollar cargoes and ,
delivered direct in Charleston :
harbor. 1t was the advantage of large :
capital over small, and that capital :
too, furnished in large part by the :
Southern people themselves. If we !
will now put one-half our cotton crop :
in Liverpool, Havre and Amsterdam. :
we shall have all the means necessary :
for direct importation Of all sup I
plies at the lowest rates possible to
New York. We shall have all the I
gold we want, and be as Independent !

abandon all but direct trade we shall
have no more use for United States
rags than they have in California.
Our merchants who have tried 1t on
a small scale have all found it profta
BILE to them. Let it be done by COM
mon consent, let there be cooperation,
let our cotton go freely and directly
across the waters, and the ships be fur
nished with return eargOes ON our own
account and we shall get better prices
for what we sell, and pay less for what
we buy. Direct Trade is a sine qua
non to Southern prosperity. And
this can be assured by a combination
among planters and factors, who
would be mutually proited by such
an arrangement.

HOW LoSG CAN Psgsoy EXIST WITHOUT
FoODf-A negro named James Wilson emf ley-
ed in taking IN the cargo OF the steamer Rising
Star lying At AspIn wall or the Eth iust fell
asleep in the hold of TIRE vessel when the other
hands ceased work on the evening Of that day
At midnight the matches were closed on the
leeping man. and at one o'clock the vessel
started on her voyage to New York Wilson
renamed IN his prison without a morsel of food
until the morning afIer the steamer arrived in
New York, or the 18th inst. Being al the bot
s0m OF the vessel, BE- was unable. by shouting
or striking the natehway, 70 make himself
heard, and finally resigned himself TO his fate
The cargo, consisting OF wool, hides mother OF
Pearl. India rubber &c, afforded nothing from
which he could extract sustenance. He finally
fell into state OF torpor. As the hatchways
were opened an hour before the hold was yisi-
ted. he air revived him. and as The steyedore
descended, the man feeoly rose and revealed
himself. cup of tea was given him. which
he yomited. A glass of sherry was then ad-
minisiered with better success. Though his
mind was clear. ne reeled like a drunken man
nd could not N aintain his feet
This remarkable case recalls to the mind the
sun more remarkable experience of four men

tritious quality received by the water through
this distillation that the preservation Of their
lives for so long period was attributed.
After most exciting and trying time, and by
great labor, attended with risk of life to those
engaged IN the work of libersting them, the
prisoners were brought forth from their dark

epaciated, blanched, and shrunken,-more
like corpses than living beings in appearance,
As may well be imagined. One or two were
delirious when rescued. but, by great care as
TO the character and quantity OF food at first
furnished them, they were all restored to CON-
paratiye health, though we believe some of
them never recovered their original strength.
II Is perhaps useless to add that, after their
terrible experience, they all retired from the
mining business.

TIE CoLoRED PRINTER U UBsTIoN AGAIN
Elsewhere will found note from Mr.. r. w.
Kerr, Financial Secretary of the Washington
Typographical Union, enclosing a letter to him
from the Secretary of the Denver Union, John
+. Watkins, in relation to the status of the
colored printer Douglass, now employed at the
Government Printing Once. 1t will be seen
inst this letter settles the issue in regard TO
Douglass IN precisely the manner we have
heretofore indicated. 1t appears from this
letter, which comes with the official seal and
signed officially oy the Secretary of the Denver
Union. that Douglass never was rejected by the
Denver UnioL; that the question of his admis-
sion or rejection never came up al any OF its
meetings for discussion; that he worked al a
s'rat office" but that he is rot considered a
s'rat' by the Denver Union, "from the fact that
ne was not U MON member when he worked
on the Gazette" and the Denver Union, there.
fore, never took any action in regard 10 the
matter. The Secretary of the Denver Union
further states that Douglas was a man of good
repute while residing there. that after leaving
the Gazette ofice he taught q coIored school,
and was considered an upright and efficient
teacher, and that he s'knows of no reason
ezcept race aud color, that shou deprive him OF
becoming q member OF q typographical union
IL Will thus b. seen that the Denver Union dis.
Siaiins any IuIhsoiCuon IN MS Ctses auu Ne
comes before the Washington Union just as il
he had never worked in Denver or else where,
and the sole question to be considered is
whether q colored man shall be admitted to the
privileges Of membership.
Since writing the above We are informed
that on yesterday MIR. Douglass was trans.
ferred from the case TO q position as copy
holder. This action would seem TO take the
matter out of the hands of the Union. Copy
holders not being required 10 be members Of
the Union, the latter has no control over them.
The issue having been raised, however, of the
aimissi ION OF colored men, we have no doubt it
" ill be pushed 10 q conclusion in some shape.
