Little Rhode Island is not willing
be left out in the cold, and so puts
forward her claim to a Centennial
based upon the capture by the Provi,
dence patriots, in 1772, of the British
man-of-war GGsl1ee. We accord all
honor to the claim, but must congrat-
ulate ourselves upon the fact that she
is far behind the War of the ReguIa-
ter, in Alamance county, and the brave
resistance to Tryon by the men of the
Cape Fear.

Iue Mobile Register man read til,
repurt Of Mortons remarks on the
| South, or rather his malicious libel or
| the Southern people, in the CincInnnt
| gazette, and when lie had read it be
| g.t mad, aud when be got mad he
went for Morton and made very
a1GdsosIe defence of his people and
| his section
This very portion of the South est
which Senator NJ rton defames with
tho old stereotyped' abuse of ante bel
ium days, says the Register, has ex-
ported to Europe and brought into the
United States more gold than all the
agricultural products of all the Union
BESIDE. We insert the following
statement Of the value Of articles cx-
ported III 1874:
Wheat and flour. $3.50, 788. 553
int ian corn and meal 26.299. $50

the value Of the cotton exported
from tie United States in 1874 Was
S!!l 223. 580-or only 1921 $3.50 less
than the value of grain products ex-
ported. Besides the cotton grown
amad the 'desoiation aud deetitutI0u"
which seemed to the Morton vision
80 stalk over the land" the South
lvrniohed for export in 1874, tobacco
20 the value of S32, 969, 528. The
1otal valne of all the exports of the
tpitad States was $3.50, 552, 40, of
WLlch sum the South furnished in cot
ton aud tobacco alone the sum of S244,-
0,O,G0O. Adding to these the tx
ports Of Virginia and Maryland
wheat, Mis- souri, and Tennessee corn,
kentucky bacon, and Texas hides, We
ind that the South, with one fourth of
the population Of the Union, furnishes
more than half of its exports. ALI this
has been done with hostile Congress
disturbing labor, and threatening Sc
ciety, and overturning government
with the bayonet. All this has been
acc mphshed i'll spite of the Mortons
aud The Buffers. If our houses are not
alr-tlght, 1t IS because we do not need
alr-tlglt houses. If our country homes
are not adorned, it is because Morton's
bummers have robbed them. If our
plantations are poorly cultivated, it is
a significant fact that the Northern
men who have engaged in planting at
the South succeed no better than our
own people. If our churches have no
steeples, the piety of the pastors and
the worship of the congregations are
pI rer than that at Brooklyn. If school
houses do not appe ar all along the rail
roads it is either because 1T is not safe
to keep school near railroad track or
because the carpet baggers have stolen
the school fund. 1t is rather late for
Senator Morton to revamp these ante
dlluvian ISLANDERS. During the war
the Southern people showed that they
were men; and since the war they have
shown recuperative power, an in
domitable industry and grand digni- |
ty which should command admiration.

NARRATIVE OF AN EYEWITNESS.

Another eyewitness to the cataztro

the place just as the boats drifted
ont. The forecastles of the Bodman
and Exporter were then crowded witt,
poop e. who Just at that momen;
seemed for the first time to realiz
their danger and become panic strici1-

saw over one hundred people
struggling in the water; some jnmpt d
over with their turks. others W i.
barrel and pieces of freight. The skiff
of which some half hozen had been at
tracted to the spot, Immediately dash
ed in and commenced rescuing these
people. Some were saved i'll this man
ner, others swan to floating spars and
logs, but he saw, he thinks, upw ,rd of
forty or fifty, among whom he distinct
~ recollects two women, drowned.
There was lamentahIe want IF orde
or system in mauegIag the t'Ig-hoate.
otherwise, i'll his opiulon, many more
might have been saved. The scene be
describes as most horr BILE In the OK
IRENE, both by it's suddenness and it's
terrible nature.
One of the boats had on board q
quantity of oil, which floated in flames
upon the surface of the water around
the struggle 6 victims, and thus added
tenfold to the horrors Ct the scene.
Many of the rescued are severely
burned about the head, and no doubt
it precipitated the drowning of m:ny

by Capt. Hutchinson, p. s. Davidson,
W. f. Davidson, and John Kyle, who
are only partially insured, and had on
board about a hundred tons of freight.

From q consultation at Madison on the
10th of the geological surveyors Of Wis
consin, with reference to their year s
work. it appears that such progress has
been made that the survey can be finished
next year. During the past year DR..
Wight has made reconnaissance Of the
head waters Of the Chippewa, Wisconsin
and Wolf, Prof. Irving has continued his
explorations in Northwestern, and Mr..
Strong in Southwestern Wisconsin, and
Prof. Chamberlain has examined belt
200 miles long by Is wide, from Rock
county to the Michigan boundary Of
Oconto county. The trap range Of cop
per-bearing rock worked on Lake Supe
rior extends to the st. Croix. and it il
probable that the Penokee iron range
also stretches PARALLEL with it to the west
shore of Green Bay. The galena. OF
lead. bearing, formation has been traced
100 miles further north than ever before
and some valuable deposits Of hydraulic
cement rock discovered.
