To the Editors of the Hebald:
In addition to the dispatches sent you of
the actings and doings of the recent Agricul
tural Convention, which convened at Athens
on the 12th of the month, your correspondent
From the sea to the mountains, onr material
advantages were broadcast over the whole
land and the mind was oppressed
with the multitudinous character of
our resources. But a sad duty
devolved upon every patriot who stood forth
as a teacher or a reformer in the State, and
truth required that it should be said that with
all our wondrous affluence ot resources, there
i was a steady decline in the public prosperity.
tll6 j booking ahead was after a good thing, but
looking back was after'tbe vein of life that
. was fullest of warning aod admonition. Sta-
| tistics are the real eyes of the Statesman, and
without tbeir guidance we can never find
our way out of the labyrinth of financial and
economical problems.
What, then, was the solemn troth in regard
to onr condition, industrially considered?
Take the item of com production—and it was
logical to place first the naked question of
bread—and what do the returns show ? Why,
that in 1850 the State of Georgia produced of
corn, more than 30,000,000 of bushels; of
wheat, nearly 1,110,000, bushels; of rye, nearly

the cali bring together a finer body of men
we have to offer, in promoting measures of
relief. X suggest as my contribution, that in
all such cases as we have alluded to, that we
appeal to the courts for the enforcement of a
“specific performance" of the contract. The
remedy is as old as equity law itself, and if vuiost rn.de
courts now in existence are not nu-
merous enough or convenient enough for
a proper care of such cases, let ns estab
lish and empower them whenever they
may be needed. While we are oaring for the
perverse and dishonest laborer who en
gages to work, don’t let ns forget to take
care at the same time of the dishonest hirer
who is too perverse and corrupt to pay. Let
all have equal justice and be made to stand on
his engagement Then when we have se
cured reliable labor, let us reform our mode
of life as planters and farmers. Send no
money oat of the country to enrich strangers
which can as well and better be kept at home
to enrich and adorn home. Study small
economies—waste nothing, that charity and
hospitality may never be left as a burden, and
that the great staple crop which so blesses or
rather which might so bless our land if prop
erly used—may he held in reserve for that di
versified industry which it is so much the
fashion of those preaching reform to urge upon

The resolutions ot inquiry required that af

committee’s report came in, it should be
handed to the Secretary, and spread upon the
miDutes of the Society, without further order.
Besides this, the resolutions named the par
ties who were to act as this committee. So
soon as the Convention was organized—in
deed, before it was organized—Mr. Yancey
arose, and. with a very marked display of
feeling, called the attention of the Convention
to the preceding facts as we have in substance

will not save us; apologies caunot rescue us

the first step towards recovery and restoration
to find out the causes of our decline. It will
be a point gained, and a most important one,
when we can tell why it is that with a popu
lation larger by twelve per cent., onr whole
industrial production has declined full forty-
two per cent, in the last ten years. Next to

cr a thousand miles long. Suffice it to say, I to solve this wondrous problem the minds
the partiality and spleen required iu its ex- | and powers not of this society alone should
pectoration almost the entire morning session I be devoted, bnt the best energies of an em-
of the first day of the Convention. The mo-1 P*re of statesmen could find no higher theme^
tive was too manifest, and that motive seem
ed to be, to every human being present, a de
sire to assault and injure President Colquitt,
and not to vindicate ex-President Yan
cey. Heavy, black clouds could be
seen to pass over Colquitt’s face, as
some of the more hurtful and ungen
erous passages of this now notorious paper,
were read. But before it was all through, the
man with his usual magnanimity and eleva
tion of soul, rose way above the low plane of
this venom, and said iu a few dignified words
to tbe Convention, tbat he dismissed the
matter without a lingering resentment, and
cheerfully left the final verdict with the Con
vention and the country. The spiciest part
of the whole episode was the criticism of Col.
Grier, of Jones. This msn is as solid as the
butt end of a wedge of gold, and never min
ces. Said the Col: “In all my knowledge of
conventions and reports, this paper beats
all. Who wrote this paper, Mr. President?
Surely tbe two meo whose names are sub
scribed to it could not have done it. No man
but a fool eoold have signed snch a thing.
Who then did write it?” The high elliptical
ceiling only “who then did write it?"
But this yoor friend, the xrriter, will say for
Mr. Taney's good, his friends deeply regetted
this thing—the true friends of tbe Society
lamented it, and it came very nearly resulting
in very great harm. One word from Colquitt
would have started a blaze of feeling and re
tort which would have told xrith fatal effect
on the success of the meetiog. if it had not
fixed a more lasting injury on the great cause
itself for which the body had convened. Can
dor however compels us to say the report was
not without impression. Its effect was very
marked indeed, and re-elected General Col
quitt by acclamation, to the fourth terra of
his incumbency. Let ns in the name of taste,
and for the sake of dear old Georgia, have no
more of sacb bitter personal squabbling,
when all should be fraternity and great sooled
devotion to the public good.
It took Governor Smith’s great speeoh on
Tuesday, to wipe out of every body’s mind
tbe grease spot of the Y’sncy report A com-
raittee of three were appointed by the chair,
to wait on the Governor and invite him to be
present and address the convention on such
a topic end at such an bocr as be shonld
choose. With this unpretending man’s
usual disregard of formality and display, he
came into the convention in few moments after
the committee waited upon him snd for two
hours addressed the convention amidst the
profoundestattention of every man in the great
concourse. You know that my experience of
public men and public gatherings in Georgia,
has not been limited, and that I mast have
listened to many addresses in my life. 1 de
clare to you that never in all that experience,
has it been my good fortune to hear from any
man in Georgia, so splendid an address on
public affairs.
From the very ground up, this speech was
ss solid and symmetrical as a pyramid,and the
universal verdict was, that the effort had
never been surpassed in onr dev, and that it
was the crowning achievement of Governor
Smith’s life. The effect was truly marked
and I might say unprecedented. I, myself,
heard leading men say that they returned to
tbeir homes now for tbe first time, full of hope
for Georgia's future, aud that under Gover
nor Smith’s lead and advocacy the agriculture
of the State must be a success. There per
vaded the whole mass of the convention and
tbe community an impressible feeling of ela
tion and confidence iu the foture.
Of coarse we caunot be expected to give an
extended report of the Governor's great

ing out the few exceptional cases ot good
behaviour, that generally the colored laborer
is far less efficient than he used to be, we can
yet see that bad as the older ones manage, no
earthly reliance can be placed upon the young
er set which has come on the field of labor
since slavery was abolished. This class seems
to be utterly lost to the world of industry,
and the hopes which some express of the
effect of the education on these people to
tbe speaker’s mind were utterly deceptive.
Tbe negroes in Georgia who have been taught
m schools seem to think all labor is a badge
of slavery, and that freedom means the de
lightful privilege of doing nothing at alL
But if the number remaining who had the
habits of labor impressed upon them by their
early and former servitude could be made to
comply with contracts fairly entered into,
we might secure far better results for our an
nual field labor. But this cannot be done.
The negTo is not morally bound, aud how
can you bind him legally when he has noth

up a dollar. The laws must be altered to

and the taking off of one man by the bloody
hand quickly revolts, and the perpetrator is
soon isolated and the evil stops. But idle
