Jk few ThoagUa on th« Charac¬
teristics of Our Age.
Tho ancients recognized four distinct
ages. The first, they called (( lbe golden
age;” for there was peace and plenty.—
The earth brought forth food spontaneous¬
ly, and man was not wise ehough to ap¬
preciate the vast advantages arising from
throat-cutting, on the battle-field. Next
name “the silver age”—not quite so bright
ad the first j for the earth became contrary,
and refused bread td the idle. As might
have been expected, a great many people
treat to work, and there still was plenty
and peaoe. The world moved on, and
the sliver age lost more and more of its
gentle, shining characteristics, until “the
silver ago” was faded and gone. Then in
its stead came the brazen age with a glit¬
ter that was neither silver nor golden—
ingeniis, et ad korrida promptior
anna.” Men still lived—some by work,
■any by plunder; for with a keenness of
perception, that has not been lost on our
age, they had learded how much easier it
use to tack a store-house than to fill it.—
And so in labor and toil, in rapine and
bloodshed, “the brazen age” went out, and
“the iron age,” full of bitterness, and woe,
eame ia. All the pure, golden, sunlit glo*
of the first age were gone. Faded
Rhewlse were the gentler, less marked
Katies of the second. With the third
•ge it ad much in common • yet it was
more strongly characterised by hardships
suffered, and crimes committed. Does
“the iron age” still continue ? o r is ours
entitled to another, and a distinctive name ?
“the age of improvement,” “the ago 0 f
civilization,” “the age of humbug”—call
it what you will, there will still be in R
much of the false glare of “tbe brazen
age,” and many of the stern, dull, deadly
features of its “iron” successor. What
are some of the political characteristics of
our age ? Mon are still divided iutd rulers
and subject*;, as they were in the former
ages— all tbe genius of inodern reformers
having<pra$ed unequal to the task of de¬
stroying either of these relations. . As of
old, both classes evince much dissatisfac¬
tion with each ether. The distrust is
mutual and well founded, and argues some
acquaintance with human nature. It has
long been the political faith of man, that
he* rises as his fellow-man falls, and that
rulers andjruled have nothing in common
ot interest, of hopes, of fears. A thousand
years of tinkering on the subjeot of gov¬
ernment, by ten thousand political geni¬
uses, have left it, still a contemptible lit¬
tle “see-saw” arrangement, by which as
the king goes up, the people come down.
And coming up and going down is all that
history records of selfish rulers and their
•elfish subjects. Plato’s model Republic
has never had an existence, save iu the
imagination. Lifo is too practicul for the
govermental theories ot those vision: ries
whom the world calls philosophers. Out
of material that is altogether fanciful, and
beautified because it is so, they construct a
government on paper, pretty to look at
and fit for nothing else. If men and wo¬
men were like tbe hcros and heroins of
moonshine novels, thero might be some¬
thing tangible in the spoken and written
day dreams of these political theorists:
bat since they are entirely different, some¬
thing more than fancy is requisite to fit
up a government suited to their wants.—
Government is made for man, not man
'‘ for government: and henco it naturally
V •
adapts itself to man’s wants. As men’s
necessities and characteristics differ, so
must there be difference » n the forms of
government under which they live. Ad¬
opting into our political creed the slogan
•f the demagogue: “All men are created
free and equal”—and forgettiug the fact
which wo mentioned in the foregoing sen
tcnce, we have been iu the habit of ex¬
pending a great deal of sympathy on those
people who live under a form of govern¬
ment different from our own. Whether
this has been done in a spirit of pbarisai
cal self-complacency, or in that of genu¬
ine pity for tho supposed misfortunes of
others, it does not beconio me to say. My
views on that subject might bo beld to be
uncharitable. Sure aw I that whether
our team have been real or affeeted,
whether our sympathy has boon genuine,
ML »ty, U has t been °"'r altogether h T misplaced rrL"-: and
unappreciated. We have heard so much
•bout “the oppressed millions,” “ suffer
»og humanity,” “the heel of the tymot,”

»y tunes concluded that all people suf
fer, save us, and that owra was the only
government under the stars that had the
slightest regard for humanity or justfoe
A great many of our people have slept
through tills delusion and waked to a true
belief. (Continued next week )
GEORGIA.
Mr. Dickson on Immigration.
Editors Chronicle & Sentinel:
In the August number of the Southern
Cultivator , Mr. David Dickson, of Han¬
cock, publishes his views on Immigration,
and places this now great question in a
new light. He is one of the few who lire
utterly opposed to the schemes of immi¬
gration which now agitate the public, and
as an eminently practicaFand thoughtful
man, bis judgment is entitled to high con
sideratiofi. Some of the propositions he
lays down are rather startling to one who
has heretofore considered one sido of the
(question only, especially that one in which
the scarcity of labor, so much deplorod by
the planting community, is claimed to
have resulted advantageously rather than
otherwise I? their interests. But this and
other equally strong suggestions are well
sustained by facts and arguments in his
letter. Certainly if any man will careful¬
ly and candidly follow out, in his own
mind the train of thought upon this sub¬
ject so clearly indicated by Mr. Dickson,
ho will conclude there is quite as much to
be said against the importation of labor to
the cotton fields as for it. If the scarcity
of labor would induce unanimity among
planters in regard to the proportion or
area of their several crops, and lead them
all to a common purpose, of producing on*
ly so much cottou as an aggregate crop,
as would command a certain remunerative
price, then certainly the preseut labor of
the country would reap a maximum val¬
ue in the way of wages and profits to the
planter. Mr. Dickson indicates distinct¬
ly that the only policy of planting abun¬
dant corn and grain crops is wise, not
alone because it saves tbe buying of pro¬
visions from abroad, but also beoause the
area in cotton is thus reduced to a reason
able limit on each farm, and tbe lesser
quantity brings the better price.
Taking the usual average crop of one
bale of cotton to three acres, eighteen
&cres in cotton to each hand will make
loss money to tho laborer, and less profits
lo the planter than twelve acres, because
t c eighteen acres all around would make
an aggregate crop of 3,000,000 bales,
which would bring 8ay
not above fifteen cents,
and the ten acre system would produce
2,000,000 bales, say
worth twenty-five or thir¬
ty cents; At these figures there would be
a loss on each laborer of ten to fifteen per
cent, in money, beside the additional corn
and grain he might have had from the
six acres.
r w When . a, the right . , system of , agriculture,
closely pursued, pays to the laod-liolder
the large profits that ho now gets as au
average from every acre he owns, takin
cultivated and uncultivated land together,
it is hard to sec why be should itch to
change his investments, and introduce
new settlers around him to compete with
the natives of the land in every oalling
they pursue. There is not more land in
the >Jtate ot Georgia than is profitable to
Georgians—not an acre. Nor is there a
water-power in the State that Georgians
n,», not belter own and improve nnd e
than to induce Northeru capital to come

We have children growing up, and they
will be our new if wo leave room
for them, and they our men of enterprise
and capital if we do not barter away their
iuherj7«o*ce and iheir privileges. Mr.
Dickson claims that the negro race is not
decreeing, a, some suppose, aud that the
next eeusus will show a large increase.—
However that may be, there will be ne
grocs by the hundred thousands in Geor
gia for many ^ years. They J will form a
large 1 proportion of our population so long
as we and our children live. We cannot
ignore them, and we must provide employ
went and. means of living ° for them. If
we do not they ,1 will prey upon us forever, _
While they will never make model citi
zens, they will never become insufferable,
as a race, while labor will earn them a

who hire them will do likewise, while la

tiie growing crops AND ITS PRESENT
PROSPECTS.
An experienced and wcll-kuown cotton
broker sends the Boston Traveler the fol¬
lowing communication respecting the grow¬
ing cotton crop of the South. He has
good facilities for obtaining information,
and his statements may be relied upon ;
Observing the numerous and varied ef¬
forts of writers on the Southern cotton
crop for more (ban a mooli, passed , to . ia.
duce a general belief in their predictions
of 3,000,000 of bales as the product of
1809, 1 a in constrained to offer you a few
considerations per contra.
In the first place, such efforts arc usual.
They come every year at this sea on.—
Such writers as Messrs. Nell Brothers have
scarcely prognosticated a cotton crop F of
. less than *u three millions .»«. • the , close ,
since of „
the war. The facts have regularly shown
how little knowledge they po.sse.-s; and
it ia only surprising that the uncommonly
. , „ .. ^° .....
„ __ fS ° C ° n * °*
°
riew England v should allow themselves to
be deceived into that course of delay in
purchasing tbeir stocks which is so disud
vantageous ,0 them. They have aliened
cotton to be exported to Europe which
should have been retained for the mills of
this country, and they now suffer lor it.
Second. The whole season has been,
until, quite recently, unpropitious for the
cotton plant; and the crop has been re
tarded from two to four weeks by tli«
prevalence of late frosts, rain storms and
the consequent difficulties of working the
bottom, and even much of the marshy
and clayey uplands in their soft and mud
dy condition. Even should the catcrpil
l ar not come as eirlu T nc.ml

a
plants to favor its devaatatipg mission ; and
should it not couie in force at ull, still we

by old fac.ors as well as planters. It will
oome, however, beyond any doubt, and un
til it has spoken, speculations at to 2}, 2}
3,000,000 J bales, V. are little better than idle
reams, worthy the fertile * brain of „ the ,
milkmaid and counting of chickcnB pro
maturely.
TLJrrt Third. TLra The area ..a.™ of r i land i planted i . j in .
cotton being less and the labor less than
in 1868, everything influencing the pro
duct must, for tbe remainder of the Sum
mcr and lbe entire Autumn, ’ be ettcecd
. ingly . propitious . . if and .
even two a quar
ter millions of bales are to reward thettoil
°f tbe producers. A very extensi e and
somewhat minute examination of the
^ *1™. Arkansas and
Mississippi euables the writer to compare
P rese nt with the former ye rs, i» the
res pepts both of areas planted and labor
engaged in cotton culture.
Fourth. The recent floods in the valleys
^ f Gaudsloupe, Camel, ^Colorado and
® razos rivers in Tex *s, to say nothing of
the Trinity, Neelies aud more eastern
8tr eams of that State, h»ve already swept
a way, as in a day, the hopes based upon

hot to mention some very confident gen
