We come like the ocean wave to the
shore, and scarcely strike the stand
before we roll back into the forget

the corner Of any street, and look
ing back, we shall see that all the
houses have changed occupants in a
very few years. The old men have
gone, aud generation that knew
them not has taken their places
Yes, while we look, we ourselves
grow old aud pass on to join the
great caravn whose tents are almost
in sight on the other side. In
youth the other world seems great

WHITE LABOR COTTON.

Says the Nashville Union the
Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel re-
marks that it is very popular mis-
take to suppose that all the cotton
in the South is made by negroes
1t states that thousands of white
men all over the South have gone
into the cotton fields since the war,
and have labored faithfully in the
production of cotton" The Memphis
Appeal claims that the larger part
of the cotton sent to Memphis is the
product of white labor, and the
Mobile Register asserts that "the
great cotton region of Alabama is
cursed with African labor, destroying
the production of cotton upon the
richest land Of the South" Where
from soil and climate one had a
right to expect the most cotton from
negro labor, there the least is raised.
In upper Georgia, along the line
of the Air Line Railroad, the white
population have gone largely into
cotton culture. The receipts at
Atlanta, which were 1920 bales in
1873, swelled to 54,889 in 1874, an
increase of nearly 80 per cent. An
observant Englishman who has spent
some time in the South, says:
"More remarkable yet is the
competition that has arised in the
same tracts of country, betwixt the
large plantations, on which the
negroes are chiefly employed, and
the smaller farms cultivated by
white people under their own hands,
with as little negro labor as posi-
BILE. This feature of cotton planting
in the South, is at present con-
spicuous, for / hold it, from observa'
ton as we'll as testimony, to be GER
tain that the larger portion of the
annual expansions of the cotton
| crop since the war is due to the
energy in small farms, in gardens,
and in crops taken on waste and
unoccupied Plantations, of white
labor"

THE NEW COMET.

This interesting object, which is
fast approaching the earth, can now
be readily seen with good opera
glass, and by practiced eye without
assistance. Its position is in the
northwestern sky. The head is of
the brightness ola fifth magnitude
8 tar, is condensed toward the centre,
and is followed by tail Of about
degree in length. This tail curves
directly upwards--the nucleus of the
comet being directly below it.
Within another month the comet
will be bright and fine object in the
west; and in August it will be o
still finer sight. After that time it
will rapidly disappear. For this
celestial wanderer is heading straight
towards the sun. But there is no
great probability that it will plunge
into the great Attractor now. 1t
will very likely sweep around the
sun, in vast and eecentrie orbit,
which, however, will gradually di-
minish, Gf this comet follows the
example of some others,) until at
last it will take the final plunge, and,
rushing in upon the inconceivable
flames of the great Light Giver, it
will contribute itslittle part towards
the maintenance of that stupendous
conAagration by which we certainly,
and our sister planets probably, are
enabled to live.
Or, is there another and less
terrible fate reserved for this erratic
stranger Of the skiesY Is it destined
to be slowly consolidated into
world like one of our planets, having
its own fixed orbit, and continents,
seas, islands, an atmosphere--and
sentient inhabitants to enjoy ex-
istence on its broad bosom
These processes, or something
analogous to them, apparently haze
occurred. Our own globe was once
a mass of thin, glowing, half gaseous
matter like this comet. But our
world was born Of the sun. Where
did this mysterious stranger come
from f-Haryord Times.

TRUTH.

Human nature and human history
fully sustains the Richmand Dis
patch in its estimate of the race
problem, and time will illustrate
more completely its truth in Ameri-
can history:
1.-THE races were placed separate
ly upon the earth by the Creator
They can never dwell together in a
state of equality with peace and sue
cess. The white man is the highest
of the FIVE types of man. He must
rule. He must be the exclusive
possessor of the territory, or all
others in it must be controlled and
governed by him. Equality of race
is impossible equality in the gov
eminent between races distinct is a
great fallacy, destructive of the hap
piuess Of man, equally fatal to any
two distinct races that may by the
agency of man be brought together
in the same political community"

TEE COMING ELECTIONS.

1t is of the highest Importance to
the people that all the offices soon to
be filled should be occupied by rep
resentative men--men who will tru-
ly and faithfully represent not so
much their own as the interests OF
those who cleo. them, whether it be
to Congress, 1.-The Legislature or to
the several offices Of the County. -
With these latter offices we are
more directly concerned. We should
see to it that the duties are efficient
" and economically discharged and
then our burthens will be great
enough to keep us in mind Of "the
cost Of gov eminent"
We regret to see that the aggre.
gate Of the State Tax will be much
greater this year than last when it
was certainly oppressive enough
Indeed, the State Treasurer assured
us last fall that the Tax income OF
the State was sufficient to pay off its
entire indebtedness in few years.
We thought then that it was unwise
to pay off so speedily: from the now
limited resources of the people, thii
large indebtedness and that it would
be much more to the public adVan-
taee to distribute the burthen so that
its weight would fall when the re.
sources of the State would be best
able to bear it. But, the last Leg
islature has actually increased the
taxable property for the present
year in exempting nothing from
the returns. We hope there is no
intention OF running in Georgia, the
South Carolina schedule, or, if there
IL that the Governor will reduce the
rate of taxation as to defeat it by
distributing equally overtime present
and the future the burthens under
which we labor.
