.wars sRseords-Ths soashsrn Historical so-

T. As.1ffa sIf-u zoe : . a.
There was meeting Monday evening, in
the roocs Of the Howard Association, on
Camp street, Of gentlemen who were promi-
nently identified with the cause of the South
in the. late war, both in the civil and mill
tary capacities. The object of the meeting
was to organize O permanent society for the
purpose of collecting and preserving the
records and memoranda of the Confederacy.
AS yet there has been no full and compre-
hensive history of the war from Southern
standpoint, and from the very nature of
things such a history cannot be written for
years to come. Hence the necessity for the
organization of society which shall be n
repository of those facts concerning the
great struggle. some of which now live in
print, but by far the largest proportion of
which are unwritten history, recorded in
the memories of such men as Lee. Jeffer-
son Davis, johnson, Beauregard, Breckin-
Toombs, Benjamin, Mallory, Hood, Wig
fall, Judge Campbell and a host of others
who from their position were cognzant of
the interior workings of the Government, of
which the outside world could obtain but a
superficial and necessarily imperfect view
The North and South, both, have had their
would-be historians, who. from hasty and
incorrect data. have given to the world
what they called histories of the war, but
are really cruue volumes, In every page OF
which is evirced their partisan character.
The Southern Historical Society will en-
deavor to collect only such data rs are per-
fectly reliable and correct of the workings
of the Confederate Government, campaigns,
battles, sieges and exploits of any charac-
ter. and they invite communications from
all those who may be cognizant of interest
ing details and facts or who may be in pos
sassion of valuable papers and documents
collected during or since the war. The so.
ciety will extend throughout the Southern
States, and cepresidents will be ap-
pointed in each State.
The Rev. DIR. B. M. Palmer is President
of the society, and General Braxton Bragg,
Vice-President. General r. E. Lee is Vice
President in Virginia, General John c.
Breckinridge in Kentucky, Alexander Ste
phens in Georgia, Ex-Governor L. G.. Harris
In Tennessee, ETC., etc.
Those who may forward contributions to
the society are requested to state simply
facts, without comment thereon, as the idea
is to complete statistics from which, in the
future, history may be written.
The movement is one which must receive
the endorsement of all right-minded men,
as it emanates from desire which exists in
the hearts of all true Southern men that
their actions and motives may be handed
down to posterity, divested of the clouds by
which Ignorance and misrepresentation have
obscured them. Orleans Picuu,.ne.

THE CONDITION OF JAMAICA.-Governo or
Grant, of Jamaica, has made a highly-inte-
resting and favorable report as to the condi-
tion of that fine island. The statistics that
he publishes indicate that jamaica is
emerging rapidly to q state of prosperity,
notwithstanding the depression which, for
many years, seemed to close its leaden wings
over her. The Governors report is for the
year 1867, which opened with deficiency
in the treasury of about S30O,0OO, an
amount that by economy and good manage
ment, was more than liquidated before the
close of the year, the surplus Of revenue in
the treasury at that time being nearly half a
million We should be very glad to see some
such fnanciering in the United States
Would that President Grant had Governor
Grant as Secretary OF the Treasury Among
other reforms in Jamaica, the number OF
parishes has been reduced from twenty-five
to fourteen, which must have made n great
saving, each parish possessing the ma
chinery for government similar to that of
an English county. Important savings
were effected in great many quarters, and
all not only without the least Inconvenience,
but with the greatest advantage to the pop
ulation. The trade of the island is more
prosperous than il has been for long time
past. The cultivation of the sugar cane, to
which the soil and climate are admirably
adapted is making steady progress, and the
planters are directing their attention to the
prosecution OF other branches of industry.
The fruit trade, which is such profitable
business in some OF the West India Islands,
is at present wholly neglected in Jamaica,
but moderate capital and competent skill
would soon make tobacco and the cocoanut
oil and fibre valuable export trade. Such
at least are the views of the Governor. The
labor now employed in Jamaica is free
labor, free in reality as we'll as in name SO
far as we know, and we hope to see it en-
tirciy successful. It's success would un-
doubtedly operate, to some extent, as an en-
couragement to Southern friends, though
the condition OF Jamaica and that of the
South are different in some important and
essential particulars

1'he Fall Issue.

. =.
The radical leaders aretho doubt begin-
ming to see that in the important State cleo
tions which are to take place in the I'LL,
they must meet squarely and face to face
certain important issues, which, hitherto,
they have cnnningly and dishonesty
lodged They have become the champions
of universal negro suffrage, and upon that
policy they must stand or fall. There is no
policy upon which the true-hearted Demo
cracy of the country would rather meet
them. In the great States Of New York,
Pennsylvania and Ohio, the fall battle is to
be fought and the verdicts which the peo-
pie of those States have hitherto given seem
to render the result of the coming election
certainty. The radicals, rs the Louisville
Conrier-Jommal asserts, will have to defend
their leading measure before the people,
measure involving the rights of tho States
to regulate their own internal affairs and
enact their own laws rs against the right of
Congress not only to change their laws, but
to annul certain portions Of their constitu-
tions- -and, if tho people prove themselves
incompetent to decide Alright in such case,
never more can we deem them competent to
exercise with judgment and discretion the
prerogatives of free and independent citi-
zens. We sincerely rejoice, be the issue
what it may, that the trial is to be made.

that the historical societies in the var; us
States might render valuable aid in q work
that so deeply concerns the character of the
Southern people, by acting rs auxiliaries of
the New Orleans association. Each State
might thus collect its own record in the war,
and far more effectively and reliably than
society located in q distant city possibly
could. The materials thus gathered might,
at tho proper time, be placed in competent
hands, and worked up into connected and
enduring record. We would be glad to see
the Memorial Association, of our own
city, direct its attention to the subject, and
settle upon some definite plan by which the
desired information may be obtained from
all available sources. Circulars might be
addressed to well informed gentlemen in the
various sections of the State, while, no
doubt, there are many who would consent
to act as agents of the society for the col
tion of historical material. We invite at
tention to the subject

SETTLED. D.-It affords us much pleasure to
state that our railroad difficulties arc
in train Of amicable settlement. Indeed,
we may say terms have been agreed upon
between Col. Magrath and the Railroad
Committee of Council and the Attorney of
the Columbia and Augusta Railroad, and
need only the ratification of the different
corporations interested.
The basis of settlement is substantially
that suggested by Gen. Wright in a letter
to Judge Gould on the 22d instant.
We know that the citizens of Augusta
will be gratifed that this difficult and yexa-
tious question is at last settled We will
give the plan and terms agreed upon rs soon
as they are authoritatively acted upon by the
parties interested.
We copy the above from the Augusta
Chronicle and Sentinel, of the 2Sth; and in
another part of the same paper we find the
following:
Some time since, board of commission
ers, consisting of three directors and three
stockholders from each of the two roads,
was appointed by the Charlotte and South
Carolina and Columbia and Augusta Rail-
roads, for the purpose of drawing up an
agreement, by means of which consolida-
ton of the two corporations might be ef-
fectcd. This board held meeting in the
city yesterday morning but nothing wus
agreed upon. proposition was submitted,
we learn, from one of the gentlemen pre-
sent. by the Commissioner Of the Charlotte
Road, which the representatives of the Co.
lumbia and Augusta Road would not accept
Another proposition was then made by the
latter corporation, which the former re-
jected. Here the negotiations came to a
close, as both parties seemed equally deter
mined i'll the matter. AS the present board
OF commissioners failed to agree upon any
| terms, new one will have to be appointed,
whose action will probably be more har-
monious and satisfactory terms for n consoli-
been agreed upon by the commissioners,
they will have to be presented to the stock
holders OF the two companies for ratification
or rejection, ms they may determine

has just published book in which medi-
cal problems are discussed. Ofthe trans
mission of mental disorders, he says:
"There is no form of heritage more re-
markable than that Of the tendency to
suicide without any other marks of aber-
ration of intellect DR.. Winslow relates
the case of a family where all the mem
bers exhibited, when they arrived at a
certain age, desire to commit selfde-
struction; to accomplish which the great
est ingenuity and industry were manifest
ed. DR.. Gall relates a very striking in
stance Of seven children of one man who
all enjoyed competency and good health,
yet all possessed rage for suicide, and all
yielded to it within thirty or forty years.
Some hanged, some drowned themselves,
and others blew out their brains Many
other examples of the same tendency are
brought forward by the same writer.
may add one case to the above from my
own experience. Sitting one day with an
acquaintance, noticed some depression III

broke out into the following dreary at

father shot himself, shall cut my throat
The facts were correct; but constant sur
