‘J'O THE CITIZENS OF GEORGIA
The termination of a sanguinary contest, which for
the past four years has presented an impassable barrier
to all social or commercial intercourse between the
two great sections of our country, having at length
happily cleared away all obstacles to a removal of
those relations which formerly bound us together In a
fraternal union, I take the earliest opportunity afford
ed me by this auspicious event, to greet my Sonthem
friends, and to solicit from them a renewal of that ex.
tensive business connection which for a quarter of a
century has been uninterrupted save by the great pnb
lic calamity to which I have adverted.
It is scarcely necessary, on tlie threshold of a busi
ness re union, I should repeat the warning so often
given to my friends —to beware of all those spurious
and de’cterlous compounds which, under the specious
end false titles of Imported Wines, Brandies, Holland
Gin, Liquors, &c., have been equally destructive to
the health of our citizens and prejudicial to the interest
of the legitimate Importer.
Many years of my past life have been expended in
an open and candid attempt to expose tbe3e wholesale
frauds; no time nor expense has been spared to ac
complish this salutary purpose, and to place before
my friends and the public generally; at the lowest
possible market price, and In such quantities as might
suit their convenience, a truly genuine imported arti
cle.
Twenty-five years’ bu°lness transactions with the
largest and most respectable exporting houses in
France and Great Britain have afforded me unsurpass
ed facilities for supplying our home market with
Wines, Liquors, and Liqners of the best and most ap
proved brands in Europe, in addition to my own dis
tillery in Holland for the manufacture of the “Schie
4im Schnapps.’ , '
The latter, so long tested and approved by the med
ical Faculties of the United States, West Indies and
South America as an invaluable Therapeutic, a whole
some, pleasant, and perfectly safe beverage in all cli
mates and during all seasons, quickly exeited the cu
pidity of the home manufacturers and venders of a
spurious article under the same name.
I trust that I have, after lnn.h toil and expense, sur
rounded all my importations with safeguards and dl
rections which with ordinary circumspection will In
sure their delivery, as I receive them from Europe, to
all my customers.
I would, however, recommend in all cases where it
is possible, that orders be sent direct to my Depot, 22
Beaver street, New York, or that purchases be made
of my accredited agents.
In addition to a large stock of Wines, Brandies, <fcc.,
in wood, I have a considerable supply of old tried for
eign v fates, embracing vintages of many past yenrs,
bottled up before the ’ commencement of the war,
which I can especially recommend to all connoisseurs
of these rare luxuries.
In conclusion, I would specially call the early atten
tion of my Southern customers to the advantage to be
derived by transmitting their orders without loss of
time, or calling personally at the Depot, In order to
insure the iulfillment of their favors from the present
large and well selected assortment.

MACHINERY RAILROADS—FREE
TRADE-—GOLD DISCOVERIES.
In tbe estimates made ol the rate of in
crease of our National resources, we perceive
that the decide between the years 1850 and
1860 has been selected by many who have
written on this subject as the point of com
parison with previous and subsequent de
cades. This furnishes imperfect data for
such comparison. If the rate of increase of
our wealth and population was from 1840 to
1850 much below the rate of increase be
tween 1850 and 1860, it may be safely said
that the rate between 1860 and 1870 will be
still farther beyond the late between 1850 and
1860. If the rate was for both wealth and
population three per cent, per annum be
tween 1840 and 1850, and eight per cent, per
annum between 1850 and 1860, as has been
asserted, thus doubling in ten years, it is safe
to calculate that the rate of increase will be
at least doubled between 1860 and 1870.
As to the causes of this marvellous increase,
our have taken a partial view of the
subject. Jlr. Jay Cooke, in his pamphlet,
gives tbe/hefs simply Without explanation.—
An intelligent writer in the Atlantic Monthly,
for April, attributes the increase to tbe pro
gress of labor-saviDg machinery, particularly
in Agriculture, from the Reports of the Com
missioner of Agriculture aud the Commis
sioner of Patents in 1360.'*
This explanation, if it does not ignore, it
excludes oue of the most powerful causes of
general operation, m augmenting the wealth
and population, not merely of the United
States, but of the commercial and civilized
world. We are not disposed to deny the in
fluence r»f those processes by which time and
labor are economized, and which have so
largely contributed to the increase of Nation
al riches/ hor to deny their influence to those
other agencies—railroads, machinery and the
removal of commercial restrictions—to which
some have attributed this increase. These
were, however, of local and partial effect,
limited to those countries which have adopt
ed free trade and made great progress In
railroads and machinery, but the cause ol
almost universal influence has been the gold
discoveries in Russia, California and Austra
lia, and which appear to have no limit. The
additious4o the solid weJtbr of the world are
not tbe sole benefit of those discoveries.—
They have enterprise and en
larged the field of adventure beyond any sim
ilar discovery in the history of the human
race. The benefit is not restricted to any
Section of the world, but is commensurate with
only*with the boundaries of commerce and
industry.
It has been stated in evidence of the fact
that the gold discoveries have largely added
to the solid wealth of the world, irrespective
of machinery, free trade and rail road ex
tension, that in ten years from 1847 to (the
year before the California discoveries) to 1856,
the imports of Great Britain increased from
90,000,000 to 172,000,000 at tlie rate of 90
per cent. Those of France, in the same pe
riod, increased from francs to
1,872.000,000 francs, or at the rate of 96 per
cent. English exports, during the same
period, increased from 58,842,000 to 115,826,-
000, at the rate of 96 per cent. But the
exports of Frauce, during the same period,
increased fiom 719,759,000 francs to 1.805,-
800,000 francs or 159 per cent. The exports
of Austria, during the same ten j r ears in
crease 124 per cent. The growth in the
trade in Austria and France has, therefore,
in recent years, been more rapid than tbe
growth of trade in England in the proposi
tions lespectively of 124 to 96 and 159 to
96.*
These facts show that the metalic treasures
to which we have alluded arc intimately as
sociated with the increased exports and im
ports of three of the largest countries of
Europe, having been acquired in the eight
yeais (1847 to 1856,) within which this in
crease of external trade had taken place,
proving, also, that these treasures were not
limited to any one country, but. had become
geuerally distributed or diffused over the
commercial world.
But if any conformation of these views was
required it would be afforded by what took
place in England within tbe same period of
eight years. The rate of interest in England
fell from five to one and a half per cent per
annum, from the great accumulation of
gold in the Bank of England. This fall in
the rate of interest produced the effect that
always follows from cheap money. It stim
ulated speculation as well as enlarged the
limits of legitimate trade. It so produced a
demand for capital beyond the means of
supply that the rale of interest rose again to
5 per cent in a few months. Dear money
succeeded to cheap money.
The effect was felt, also on the rate of
wages. There were numerous strikes for
higher wages all over the United Kingdom
vVages rose from 10 to 20 per cent.
But the most striking effect followed in
enabling France to defray a large share of
the expenses of the Crimean war, and turn
the balance of trade in her favor, while Eng
land was not only enabled to defray the ex
penses of her war commissariat in 1854, but
PRICE. 5 CENTS
to pay for a large importation of grain in
consequence of a deficient harvest in 1853.
The shipping interest also participated iu
the benefits from the new gold. A circular
in 1853, from a firm ("inserted in Tooke’a
History of Prices) largely engaged in the
shipping trade, said: “In 1852 we com
menced to feel the benefits arising from open
competition and the free exchange of com
modities with other nations, increased to a
surprising degree by rapid intercourse
through the aid ol steam aud the enormos
trade which steam itself created in the con
veyance Freights rose, aud ail de
scriptionffMM vessels weie materially en
hanced in value. •'
A still more rapid increase, however, took
place after the discovery of the gold fields in
California and Australia
It can hardly admit of a question, says
Tooke, that the influx of gold from Aus
tralia saved this country from extreme com
mercial pressure during the close of 1863 and
early months of 1864."
The same authority says, iu relation to
France, “That those embarrassments and
disorders (embarrassments and disorders
which grew principally out ot a deficient
harvest and the large expenditure on rail
roads) would have become altogether over
whelming if it had not been for the springing
up since 1849, chiefly In the gold countries,
and in consequence of the gold influx, of a
demand for French manufactures and pro
duce, so large and continuous, that during
the nine years, 1848-1856, the balance of
trade in favor of France has amounted to not
much less than eighty millions sterling."
{The general conclusion from this view is
that, although tbe other agencies, railroads,
steam navigation, free trade, improvements
in machinery, etc , contributed their of
effect, the gold discoveries have bad an
equal, if not a larger, share of the influence
within tbe last decade, in stimulating com
merce and productive power J : •

—An old superstition was seriously revived
lately in the north of England. A woman
lost a brooch, and adopted the “key and
Bible” method of detecting tbe thief. This
method is as follows: A piece of string is
tied round the Bible, the book is then laid on
tbe table, and a key is spun round on the top
of the Bible, and while the key is “going its
rounds’ someone iu tbe company completes
the charm by repeating a verse of Holy Writ,
by way of guiding the movements of the re
volving key. Tlie party to whom the end of
the key points wlieu it has stopped is con
sidered to he ihe guilty one. In the present
case the key implicated the daughter of the
loser of tbe brooch.

of the man under his feet for two successive
days, actually grinding it to dust. That very

To follow it out well one Should be on the

arrive all along the coast, and also on the
islands in the bay. They leave Africa about

geuerally alight so tired that even a cockney
9porisnian may be fortunate enough to fill his
bag with ease.
