DuBose, Esq. J. Geo. F. Pierce, Jr. Esq For the Hancock Journal. 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,” -d eiWlikepb^ol-.pempou^iek. ly.feur h-<rf-yuly oratoiy.ihat wo have ma »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.

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.

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 > , ne corresponding immaturity of the a plants to favor its devaatatipg mission ; and should it not couie in force at ull, still we Dfokins^vith ilHb* ^ >MI * ra “ tas ‘ l lale pickin e , with all its losses, so well known 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.

It would be safer to fix tbe esti nutfe rnate at at 2,000,000 2,000,000 bales bales and and wo.k wo.k accor- accor¬ dingly. dingly. Last “ -. year we had Georgia *——* estimated by - the - class of writers above mentioned at 300,000, 300,000, then then 275,000, 275,000, and and so so on on as as the the season advanced, down to 250,000 bales - hot to mention some very confident gen tbjlncn who made still larger figures.— Now it is shown by very careful exawina *iou to be between 200,000 and 225 000 bales.

M. Drummond is talking - A Coalition in Virginia. —The Wells and Walker Radicals arc about ef¬ fecting a coalition in Virginia, which will restore the Radical control of the State and relieve all party necessity for Con* gressional intervention. On this subject a Washington telegiaui to the New York Tribune says : “The late Wells party comprised fully two-thirds of the Republican party of the State. The other third supported Mr. Walker for Governor, and formed the bal ! an ce of power between the Republicans proper and ,| lc D emocl at s , which secured the triumph of Walker.

The Dawson Journal reports, from Ter¬ rell county, rain every day. Rust and wet are killing the cotton stalk. A few weeks ago, the cotton prospect was good, now many think it not so good as this time last year.
