Cotton Planter*’ Convention—Re -
PORT ON STATE AND CONTINENTAL
FAIRS.
Your Committee upon Fairs respectfully sub
mit to the consideration of the Convention the
following Report:
The plan proposed and adopted the “Con
vention ’at the last meeting, opens anew chap
ter in the history of Industrial Fairs in this
country.
. proposed by your Com., to hold annually
m the city of Macon for three weeks, beginning
on the first Monday in December, 1860, a State
and Continental Agricultural Fair. Her Cen
tral position, her Railroad facilities and Hotel
accommodations, render Macon the mast eleri
bje location in Georgia, for holding such an
Exhibition, and the following considerations
prompt us to adopt the month of December, as
most suitable of the year. It is the most leis
ure with the masses—the epidemics and autum
nal diseases of the Southern & Western States,
are by this time stayed by cold weather—all
the crops of the country are matured and gath
ered—the Agricultural Fairs throughout the
L nion, are being held earlier in the year—ours
being then last must become most attractive
with its varied departments, and must make
those of other States tributary in a very great
This plan gives ample time for all interests to
be fully represented and justice rendered to all,
‘by the Association, and the Foreign Depart
ment, which will be anew and attractive feature
in our Exhibitions, will have ample time to close
its sales and display its contributions. Fur
thermore, instead of crowding into this city ten
or fifteen thousand people, within the limited
time of three or four days, (as usually devoted
by our Agricultural Societies) eager and impa
tient to see every thing and hurrying over all,
thereby defeating the great objects contempla
ted by these exhibitions, wc shall bring with
in as many weeks twice this number—the ma
jority of whom will return home “with senti
ments liberalized, ambition sharpened and their
public spirit enlarged.” Our Exhibitions being
upon an enlarged scale, and characterized by a
liberal and patriotic spirit, will at the beginning
secure public favor and confidence, and beaome
vastly popular, Successful and attractive. Its
influence and usefulness will be felt upon the
future commercial enterprise and industrial des
tine of the Southern States
Why delay longer? Let us lay broad and
deep this day, the foundation stone of this great
work! Its friends in this city, in a spirit of no
ble liberality, have tendered their aid and co-op
eration. Let us put “the ball in motion,” and
our “hands to the work,” and “build up here
a great State Industrial Fair, creditable alike to
this glorious old commonwealth, and worthy
the noble cause we espouse; one at which our
people will meet in social union, on common
ground, and the humblest citizen will visit an
nually with the offerings of his industrial skill,
and regard as the Mecca of his devotional pil
grimage.
The following order we recommend for the
Exhibitions of this Association:
FIRST WEEK.
Devoted exclusively to the display and sale
of Foreign and Southern Manufactured Goods.
SECOND WEEK, %
To embrace the productions of Agriculture
and the Mechanic Arts. It should b the aim
and end of this Association to make the Agri
cultural Department the leading and attractive
feature of its exhibitions, and give the great
staple production of the earth a prominence ne
ver before conceded by any Agricultural Socie
ty on this Continent; and elevate Agriculture
to the position that nature and nature’s God
designed it.
It is humiliating to the producer of the great
staple product of the South, to see its empire so
willfully neglected by the Agricultural Societies
of the Southern States, when the civilized world
concedes that “Cotton is King.”
It is a lamentable fact, and we mention it on
ly by illustration,{that two prominent Agricul
tural Societies, whose Premium Lists have been
sent us, give] this great interest the cold shoul
der, and the cotton bale is not honored in their
Programme of Exhibition. Now your Commit
tee propose to inaugurate anew order of things,
and dedicate the “Cotton Bale” as the Idol of
Agricultural Worship. Let us send greeting
to our Brotherhood throughout the planting
States to bring to this Industrial Altar, offer
ings of their Cotton bales, both short and long
staple, their Rice tierces, Sugar hogsheads,
casks of Molasses and specimens of all the pro
ductions of the earth.
Urge them also to bring from the land of the
“Vine and Fig Tree,” the golden fruits of the
Tropics, and compare with peers , the luscious
productions of the Orchard, Garden and Vine
yard of the middle and mountain lands.
Under this Department let us arouse the lan
guishing condition of our Agriculture to action
and actuate our State government to a sense of
its vast importance, and the only policy m which
she is chargeably laggard.
THIRD WEEK.
Wc propose to close the Annual Fairs of the
“Cotton Planters’ Association of the State of
Georgia,” with a grand Exhibition of Live Stock
of every class and kind. We will invite to it
the herdsmen and flock masters of the Middle
and Western States, with representatives of
their stock yards, in an honorable and laudable
contest of rivalry for the prizes offered. In
furtherance of this great Exhibition, we suggest
to the Association the application to the State
to occupy any lands belonging to the State, ad
joining the corporation of Macon, for holding
the Annual Fairs; and that this Association
shall be at liberty to erect thereon any such
buildings, fences or other structures as they
may think necessary for carrying out the ob
jects of said Association.
In consummating the noble aim and objects
of this organization, your Committee do most
earnestly recommend to its consideration, the
establishment of a State Agricultural Bureau,
under the patronage of the State, with an
office and Museum for the collection, distribu
tion and international exchange of every produc
tion of the earth useful to agriculture and its
kindred arts. Will the representatives of this
great State favor an enterprise, pregnant with
more lasting results upon her moral, social and
political destiny than any other measure, claim
ing more loudly and appealing more earnestly
for favor and protection ?
Our sister States are ahead of us in the suc
cessful direction of this great enterprise, and
are realizing the full fruition of its ennobling
and salutary results upon productive interest.
The Secretary of the State Agricultural Bureau
of Mississippi, in language of approval of our
future plan, writes thus—“ Well, lam glad to
see you moving in this matter. Long have I
desired to see my old native State aroused ful
ly to the great interests of concerted legal ac
tion in matters of Agriculture. This is th on
ly feature of Georgia’s laggardness in public
policy. I hope, however, that she is only the
better prepared for action and enterprise. I
pray that you may succeed in your underta
king. lam especially pleased with the gran
deur of your plan, as eminently worthy the
Empire State of the South. It is not only a
step in the right way, but is the great high road
of glory and prosperity of the whole South,
particularly the cotton region. There is some
thing in your plan of operations that carries
the intellect to a command of its highest powers
and draws upon the imagination for its boldest
images; and I feel assured that if you meet
with any kindred sentiment and sympathy,
your plans and calculations will prove more
substantial than ideal fabrics. You have my
best and earnest wishes for your success.”
Upon the importance of this subject the most
distingushed agricultural Statesman of New
York, in his dying hours, which he employed
in writing an address to the State Agricultu
ralJ3ociety, said: “Agricultural production is
the* first in order, the strongest in necessity,
and highest in usefulness in the whole system
of acquisition. The other branches stand up
on it, and without it, could not exist. Still
it has been almost uniformly, as the whole his
tory of the State and country will show, % the
most neglected.” The father of his country
bequeathed us this sentiment, ‘ ‘ln proportion as
nations advance in population and other cir
cumstances of maturity, this truth becomes
more apparant and renders the cultivation of the
soil more an object of public patronage. In
stitutions for promoting it, grow up, support
ed by the public purse; and to what object
can it be dedicated with greated propriety ?”
This teaches the Agriculturalist of this coun-
that vacilation and instability will pervade
the action and measures of our rulers to the
“eglectof the Agricultural interest, which is
°f prosperity and which gives vigor
and life to every other branch of natioaal in
dustry, and without which they “could not
exist.” Legislation is needed for this devel
opment. The State should encourage every
effort to multiply productions and the increase
of large crops, and should exercise the deepest
interest in directing intelligently the action of
its representative body and in promoting and
favoring every species of industry. It is this
incentive to inventive genius and creative
skill, that propels the great motive power
that gives raiment and food to the creative
wants and exalts the dignity of our race. Will
Georgia aid this great cause ? or will she re
fuse the bounty ? She cannot! as an empire
State—she will not reject an appeal from those
industrial and social relations, ever her prov
ince to regard and protect with maternal solici
tude and devotion. J. Y. JONES, Ch’n.

Melancholy Affair in Crawford. —We
learn that a negro nurse in the family of Wil

a negro child, by putting arsenic in their tea,
both of whom died in a few hours. A negro
woman who tasted of the tea, is also very sick.
The nurse confessed the atrocious deed, and the
object of it, to get rid of her little charge. Mr.
Harris had procured the arsenic to poison rats,
and a cautionary remark from him in laying it
ayde, suggested the infernal idea to the nurse.

Asa citizen, our brother was a man whose
virtue and generosity rendered him almost
indispensable, as a husband and father he was
ever kind and faithful and affectionate. And
as a brother of our fraturnity, his course has
ever been upright, his admonitions lovely and
instructive; and his whole course of life such
to leave upon the minds of his family, rela
tions and friends, the unmistakable impression
and conviction of his sincerety in his devotions
to the cause of humanity; add that religion
which when the toils and troubles of life are
over, saves the souls of its devotees.
Therefore Resolved, that we have received
with melancholly regret, intelligence of the
death of our brother whose love and friend
ship we have ever held so sacred.
Resolved, That we will accompany to the
grave, the remains of our deceased brother
with the usual Masonic honors.
Resolved, That we will wear the usual
badge of mourning for thirty days, that the
jewels and furniture of the lodge beelothed |

A true extract from the minutes, this 12th
day Nov., 1859.
Departed this life in Jonesboro Clayton Cos.,
Ga., on Monday 7th inst., at about IS minutes
after 10 o’clock, P. M., Dr. C. W. Smith,,
aged 38 years.’ “
In the death of Dr. Smith, the citizens of
Jonesboro and vicinity have lost a worthy and
valuable citizen. The Masonic fraternity one
of its brightest ornaments, and the Medical
fraternity, one of its ablest defenders and most
skillful practitioners ; but from any of these
circles he could have been spared better than’
from his family circle. His dear little children
are far worse bereaved than any other of Jiis
numerous friends can possibly be. His little
children, five in number, whose mother died
near three years ago, are now doubly, or
phaned.
The Qr. had been for many months confined
to his room, unnble to attend to business, and
was warned, by the unmistakable evidences of
consumption, of the approach of death, which
doubtless he prepared to meet as willingly and
with as much firmness as the ties of earth
would permit. His course of life has been
moral, and, though he never identified himself
with any church he often, during his last sick
ness, spoke of the inestimable benefits of the
Christian religion, and gave evidences of his
having made peace with God.
A numerous concourse of friends attended
his burial which took place on Tuesday, the
next day after his death, under the usual Ma
sonic honors. W.
At his residence in Jefferson County, Ga.,
on tha 2nd of Sept., 1859, Moses Brinson, in
the 63rd year of his age.
Bro. Brinson had been a member of the Bap
tist church for nearly 30 years, and for the
last 10 or 12 years had been a deacon of the
church at Way’s, iu the communion of which
he died. He had held several important coun
ty offices, and had represented his county in
the State Legislature. He was an unassum
ing honest man. His house was always open
to those who needed shelter, his heart always
throbbed in unison with the noble and the good,
and his purse never failed to respond to the
calls of benevolence and humanity. He died
suddenly but there remains no doubt as to
his eternal admittance to the joys v>f the better
land. He left a widow and six children to
mourn his loss. May they imitate his holy ex
ample, and meet him in heaven.
A FRIEND.

CAVE SPRING, FLOYD COUNTY, GEORGIA.
THIS Institution for the year 1860, will be un
der the superintendance of Mr. James C.
Rrown, of Coweta Cos., Georgia, who graduated at

He comes highly recommended as a young man
of promise and ability, well prepared to take charge
of an Institution of this character. We solicit for
the sehool under his care, the kind feelings and
patronage of its friends and th i public generally.
Cave Spring is, doubtless, as well knewn to the
public of this State, as well as Cherokee, Alabama,
as a place, beautiful in its scenery, healthful in its
location, and free from the immoral influences to
which many similar villages are subject. It is set
tled up by a moral and quiet population, and is
eminently fitted for a classical School.
The Scholastic year consists of 42 weeks, and is
divided into two Sessions. The first commences
the third Monday in January, and continues 24
weeks. The second commences on the third Mon
day in July, and continues 18 weeks. The first
session will close with a Public Examination.

* 12m0.-Cloth. SI,OO. i :
THIS volume cannot fail to stimulate feligious
. thought .and discussion. It presents novel,
original and startling views.. It places within the
aristian fold many who claim no place there; cuts
tfrona.it many wjio consider themselves entitled
to all its. privileges, and applies tests of spiritual
chyacter which tite vitally distinct from those
which are current in the popular religion of the
day. It is one of the books to be read, marked,
and inwardly digested.
HISTORICAL VINDICATIONS;
A Discourse on the Province and Uses of Baptist
History.
With Appendixes, containing Historical Notes and
Confessions of Faith.
BY SEWALL S. CUTTING,
Professor of Rhetoric and History in.the Univer
sity of Rochester.
12mo, Cloth. 76 cents.
This is an admirable contribution to Baptist
History, tracing the origin and rapid growth of
Baptist principles in England at the time of the
Reformation, and suggesting important lessons for
future guidance. The Appendixes contain histor
ical facts worth two fold the price of the volume.
The Puritans; Or the Court, Church and Parlia
ment of England, during the reign of Edward
Sixth and Elizabeth. By Samuel Hopkins. 3
vols., Bvo. Vol. 1. $2 50.
This volume is quite as remarkable for histori
cal accuracy as for pastoral skill. Critics who
have examined its authorities with scrupulous
care, speak in the highest terms of its stern fideli
ty to truth. Mr. Hopkins will take his place with
the leading historians of the country, Bancroft,
Prescott and Motley.
This noble and “sightly volume is attractive by
its literary contents, as well as by its unsurpassed
mechanical execution. It has the interest of a
historical romance, so minute are the details, so
dramatic the narration, so characteristic the con
versations, and life-like the descriptions.

al historians—artists of rare ability—Merie D’Au

The Leaders of the Reformation—Luther, Calvin,
Latimer and Knox. By J. Tulloch, D. D., author

A portrait gallery of sturdy reformers, drawn
by a keen eye and a strong hand. Dr. Tulloch
liscriminates clearly the personal qualities of each
Reformer, and commends and criticises with equal

graphic details, but masterly, philosophical esti
mates of great characters.—[Presbyterian.
