Tim IV.tr. Gt-Dj/taa—so-called—the iinterest a* a great anxilliary to
organ of what is known as the “ Now (diversified husbandry. The proceed
Departure” Democracy, recently re-
fei reil to those pipers which have kept
aloof from the untimely discussion in
which it has pleased certain journals
to indulge concerning the proper line
for the Democracy to pursue—as timid
and time-serving; waiting for public
opinion to form before taking position.
The Banner is one of the papers that
has not deemed it wise to attempt to
forestall or control public opinion at
the North, where the battle is to be
decided. We have entered time and
again, the protest which is almost uni
versally shared by the white people of , , .
the South, against the principles ofi 1 ^ lt * 411 engage in tra e,^or to
centralism embraced in the 14th and
15th amendments, as well as the mode
by which tbqy were declared adopted.
But appreciating the powerless con
dition of the South, and relying alouc
U|H)ii the people of the North for re
lief from these and further encroach
ments of Federal power, we expressed,
and now reiterate our abiding con
viction, that it is the true policy of the
South to acquiesce in the policy adopt
ed' by the Democracy of the North in
reference to these amendments. We
do not agree with the Courier Journal,
in wishing to accept these amendments
and " build on them,” nor do we agree
with those who declare, that if accept
ed, there will be no longer any living
issues with the Radicals. The questions
of the tariff, the iniquitous revenue
system, internal improvements, and the
contingent waste of the public domain
in corrupt land grants and monopolies,
the wastefulness and imbecility of the
administration, are all very live issues,
on which the Democracy have a con
sistent record, and can makea vigorous
tight.
We shall never cease to deplore the
acrimonious character of the recent
discussion among Southern Democrats,
and we shall patiently bear any impu
tations of timidity in which those who
are as rash as they are brave are pleased
to indulge toward those who do not
enter a Quixotic tilt against ab
stractions, when there are real giants
in the path, giants against whom every
lance should be poised, and for whose
discomfiture the National Democracy
must stand shoulder to shoulder.
Rich Developments in Atlanta.
At the instance of Foster Blodgett
several arrests have been made in At
lanta, of his late employees on the
State Road, charged w ith appropriating
money fraudulently. Mr. J. C. Alex-
cr, of the firm of J. M. & J. C.
Alexander, and Mr. Fry, actingpurch-
a ing agent, were first arrested, and
Mr. Alexander refunded 84,000. Mr.
Fry gave bond of 82,000 but after
wards ran away, Mr. Fry is charged
with arranging iiilsc ii,voices, to the
extent of 816,000. Rev. Mr. Hotch
kiss, late auditor of the Rood, was also
arrested at the instance of Mr. Me*
Calla, Book-keeper, under tlie eliarge
of auditing accounts known to be iruu-, round,
duleut, and receiving a part of the
money. He was on trial at last ac
counts, and rich development* were
being unearthed. Our svinjiatby for
the virtuous and reverend auditor is
unspeakable. Wereinemlier his saint
ly conduct in connection with the re
gistration in 1868, and it is truly
heart-rending that such a faithful lamb
sliould be so ruthlessly slaughtered in
his own household.
Winder P. Johnson’s Letter.—
This gentleman has recently written a
very thoughtful letter from New York
to a Georgia friend, in which'he sums
up the policy to bo pursued iu the ap
proaching campaign as follows':
W.c cunnot accept the Vallandigham
platform. To do so would lie to sur
render every sovereign right belonging
to a State.^ To unuouuce au “;uut
and .out - * State rights platform, would
drive lukewarm friends into the Rc-
puhlican ranks, and widen the breach
already begun among ourselves. Our
trup jKisition is one of silence and Ju
nction. We will not force our views
upon those who claim to be Northern
ingsof the Convention were marked by
1 great harmony and good ieeliug, and
the principal addresses were practical
and pointed. Gen. Colquitt, in his
opening remarks, urged the import
ance of agriculture—its certain re
wards, and its freedom from the uncer
tainties and excitements which attend
speculative pursuits. He especially
urged the ’ inculcation of faith in it,
confidence of success, and a determina
tion to-make it the business of life, as
very essential to success. Too many
are farming merely to get a little mon
ey ahead with which to move to some
move
to some new country. He thought
Geoigia {Mssessed greater advantages
than could he found elsewhere, and if
we would rear our children to thiuk so,
and to settle down on their native soil,
a great means of rapid and permanent
developeiuent would be accomplished.
The report of the business commit
tee, a Poem by B. II. True, of Mor
gan, and the report of Sir. Samuel
Barnett, Commissioner to the various
County Societies occupied most of the
session the first day. A committee
was also appointed to interpret the
Constitution, and to remove certain
discrepancies contained in it, as print-
DISUU8SIONON FERTILIZERS.
B. fore adjourning, Mr. Newman,
of Hancock, read an essay on home
made fertilizers, in which he strongly
advocated increased attention to this
mode of restoring and improving our
lands. Hon. Mark A. i’ooper gave
his experience in saving manure, hav
ing made over a ton to the head, with
his cattle and horses.
This discussion was resumed the
second day, and was participated in by
a number of practical farmers, showing
that the importance of utilizing the
means of fertilization heretofore allow
ed to go to waste is attracting much at
tention. Hon. Win. Schley of Chat
ham delivered a fine address on
Commercial fertilizers. He apprecia
ted the value of home-made manure,
but thought the light of science had
opened the way for a wise and benefi
cial use of more concentrated plant
food, whicj) the commercial fertilizers
afforded. Col. Toni Howard made
an eloquent speech on the subject,
(.'heap manures constituted the lever of
Archimides in the hands of the farmer.
He thought 8 45 per ton the highest
price fanners could pay for the best of
them. Mr. Butler of Moigan made an
interesting speech on this subject, and
referred to a recent invention by which
hoofs ami horns are dessicated in a
lew hours, and made to afford a won
derful amouut of ammouia—leaving
u» no longer dependant on Peru for
that important element of artificial ma
nure
Prof. Joues, of Clark, addressed the
omiventiou briefly on artificial manure,
when the Convention adjourned to jwr-
take of a splendid collation at the Fair
These grounds are about
two miles from the city, and are luuid-
somely fitted up, with spacious exhibi
tion halls, race track, machinery shed*
and stalls. A beautifuHountain adorns
the grounds.
PREVENTING WASHES.
In the afternoon of the second day
officers were elected, as reported in our
last pa)>er.
Mr. Pope Barrow, of Oglethorpe
gave a very interesting statement of
his mode of preventing washes, the
lending idea being to throw the earth
atove the ditch, which attracted much
attention. Col. Alston of DeK&lb
corroborated Mr. Barrow's plan. Col.
Barnett, Treasurer made his report,
lie stated that he had received no mon
ey ami had paid out noue, and conse
quently had not been required to give
any boud!
ADDRESS ON EDUCATION.
At night Gen. Gordon delivered an
eloquent address on education, iu which
he took occasion to express his admi-
000, and the interest on it would not
establish and support a first class in
stitution. If divided it will be less, val
uable, But added to the University,
with’ its organized faculty and a partial
endowment, it would ^make that insti
tution strong, and afford facilities for
through culture, and for an enlarged
number of beneficiaries. He referred
to the splendid endowments which uni
versities in Great Britain, Prussia,
Italy, Russia and France enjoyed, and
to what has been done for H rv-irl. j |j
Yale, Cornell, tilts Michigan and Ken
tucky Universities, and other institu
tions, and showed tluit Geoigia is far,
far behind in the grand educational
raw of the age.
Reference was made, by Col. Mc
Kinley, to an article iu the Farm &
Home, proposing that a part of the
script lie set apart for the uegroes.
Prof. Broun rose and stated that he
alone was responsible for tiiat article,
that he threw out the suggestion, be
lieving for himself that the negro ought
to lie educated, and hoping thereby to
prevent any effort to open the Univer
sity to the uegroes. Col. McKinley
asked Gov. Browu if he endorsed tlie
ut, on fields sown
, _ . „ .tons to the acre.
The He exhibited magnificent samples of
clover, herds glass, and red top. Hon.
J. E. Brown gave the results of eight
years experience in grasg culture. He
had been signally successful in Chero
kee county, and had also a* hay and
stock farm in Gordon county, where
he was raising mule colts without any
other food than the range of his clover
fields all winter. He stated that the
W.' A A.' Raflread Mathis" year, in
six months transported 33,000 bales
of Western hay to Georgia. He ap
pealed to the fanners of Middle and
j Upper Gt.urgia to give hay a fair trial.
He went iuto minute directions for
preparing the lands, sowing and sav
ing seed, which will be published,
*ith many other addresses before the
tSociely.
Air. Yancey of Clark addressed the
Convention on the same subject. He
had 200 acres in clover on the Coosa
river, and fouud it S profitable crop.
The expense of transportation over
our Georgia freiglit^ihes - was a serious
drawback. He had paid $1 15 per
hundred to Athens, when Western
hay was selling there at 81 75. He
appealed to the President of the State
Road to use his influence to secure
such a tariff of pro rata freights as
article, (applause.) Gov. Brown said j would foster this industry, and enable
that he was not there to endorse or re- j Geoigia hay grower* to ship to their

buke the opinions of anybody. He
Imd been consulted by the. negroes, in
reference to this subject, and had uni
formly told them that he never would
conseiit to their admission to the Uni
versity. It was not right—it would
ruin the institution, and not benefit
them ; but thut he would favor fair
and liberal provision for them, und
had some baud in securing an appro
priation for their University at Atlan
ta, which the i<eople of Milledgeville
were much afraid would be located in
that city. He had not been, and
should not be governed by popular
clamor in this matter. It had beeu
his fortune to ride on the waves of
popular favor, and to breast the storms
of public indignation. He should con
tinue to act iii this as he had in other
matters, from an earnest desire to pro
mote the public good—but he never
would consent that the black man and
white man should be educated together.
He concluded by reiterating the im
portance of concentrating the fund
arising from the land script on the
State University. It was the proper
disposition to make of it. It would
enable the trustees to afford, what was
so much needed, a thorough education
in any desired dciiartment, at a cheap
rate. If divided out, all the institu
tions would be poor, and obliged to
charge high tuition.
Col. McKinley' followed in an argu
ment in behalf of Milledgeville. It
had all the requisite buildings, and
with this fund, could open at once aud
accommodate 1000 students. He hail
great resj>ect for the e ld Scotch Pres
byterian School at Athens,—had grad
uated there—but had no fancy for the
Germanizing experiment lately at
tempted. Thought the buildings to
tally inadequate for an agricultural
college, and was opposed to mixing an
industrial with a literary’ college. He
was willing to divide the fund with
Dahlonega—was anxious for the jioor
boy’s of the mountains to share it.
Hon. Wm. P. Price of Lumpkin
spoke ten minutes in behalf of adding
the fund to the late Congressional
grant of the Mint at tlrnt place, as an
Agricultural School. It was too ex
pensive at Atbeus, and the poor Im>vs
of the mountains could not afford to go
there, and would not feel at home, pur-
suring industrial studies among tlie
stndeuts there.
Col. Yancey made a good speech in
behalf of the University. He showed
why the experiments—referred to by
Col McKinley—of mixing agricultural
with literary institutions hail failed.
He urged the great importance of eon-
eeutraling the fund, aud of making
one great institution, where every son
ol Georgia could be educated thoroug-
ly and cheaply.
Col. Capers spoke briefly in behalf
of Southern Georgia, as entitled to a
share in this fund. CoL Phillips deplor-
ed-tha manifestation of sectional elalma
in tills matter, and moved to refer itto
the Executive Committee of the socie
ty, with instructions to report at the
meeting of the society in October,
which' w as adopted. 1
AN ELOQUENT ORATION.
Col. C. W. Howard delivered an
eloquent oration on the duties of our
people iu yiew of tlie changed condi
tion of the South. It was full of beautiful
imagery’, and contained also many
sound practical suggestions. He be
lieved the iron interest would soon be
worth as much as the cotton interest.
He declared that wool could be raised,
pound for pound, as cheap as cotton,
and urged the special adaptation of our
State to sheep and stock husbandry and
dairy farming.
THE FENCE QUESTION.
The fence question was discussed at
considerable length, eliciting a variety
of opinions. The conviction is evidently
growing that owners of stock should
be required to keep them on their own
lands, unless by common consent, in
stock districts, a different policy is al
lowed. Keeping up fences against the
stock of others, is one of the heaviest

CLOVER AND GRASS TALK.
The most interesting and important
featmre of the Convention was the dis
own markets.
COL. D. WYATT AIKEN.
Col. D. Wyatt Aiken addressed the
Convention on a wide range of farm
topics, showing a rare fund of knowl
edge and experience. He had
found the heat and summer droughts
too much for bis clover, but hud faith
in it a little higher up. He had been
most successful with Merino sheep—
their clip this year netting over 75 cents
a head beyond the cost of keeping,
which was 75 centsa head. Besides
this he had 40 fine lambs. He had
never lost one hv dogs—lets them run
with the cows, every other sheep liaving
a little bell.
IMMIGRATION.
Jtnlge Dupont of Florida, addressed
the Convention on Immigration. He
is President of an Association which
has brought over 100 Swedes, and will
bring us many more iu the fall. The
ex|>cnse is S75 each. Ho argued the
importance of subdividing our large
tracts of land, and a • paring the stabil
ity anil power that always conies with
a well-settled rural population.
Mr. True of Morgan aud Mr. Ad
ams of Monroe favored immigration.
Mr. Adaius spoke in the highest terms
of the Swedes employed in his county.
Mr. True favored the introduction of
English laborers.-s^fTheir fhre wohld
cost only 825.
Col. Yancey favored immigration ;
he had employed Germans, and they
made excellent farm hands, but were
discontented because isolated from
their countrymen. He thought it
very desirable to acquire an increased
nuralier of small landholders, who
'would be available at harvest.
Col. Chambers was not opposed to
immigration of the right kind, hut re
lied chiefly on the negro as the best
laltorcr we can get.
TIIE PRESS.
A proposition by Secretary Lewis,
to establish a monthly agricultural bul
letin, a* an organ of the Society, was
voted down. A proposition from Col.
Yancey of the Plantation and Gen.
Browne, of the Farm «t Home, to do
the priuting of the Society iu consider
ation of being made its organs, jointly,
was also tabled almost unanimously.
A resolution acknowledging the lib
erality of. tiie Press toward the Society
and rccomincndiniog the agricultural
press especially to the support of its
members, was adopted.
Dr. Mentis addressed the Convention
on the results of his labors as inspector
of fertilizers, and expressed the con
viction that the standard of fertilizers
had been improved thereby. He re
ferred eloqueutly to the developments
iu chemical science, and the necessity
of a knowledge of chemistry in the ap
plication of mauures.
col. steadman's address.
CoL E. Steadman, of Newton, ad
dressed tlie Convention on Manufac
tures, He gave the Augusta factory
as an iustauce of what well-managed
cottou mills would du; and stated that
New Euglund, with an area, (throwing
out tlie swamps of Maine) no larger
than Georgia, derives 8600,000,000
irom her manufactures, while Georgia
realizes only 8200.000,000 from her
cotton crop, most jjf which she spends
for necessities, luxuries, rnd follies—
supplied from abroad/ He went iuto
details to show that we pay three to
six times the value of the raw cottou
for manufactured fabrics, when we
have every facility for saving this vast
pro t by manufacturing it here. His
address was strong and convincing,
aud wiU, is believed, strenghten the
growing interest in the subject.
FLOUR AND IRON.
Mr. J. A. Stewart made some in
teresting remarks on Milliug, aud on
tlie kituL of wheat (*&$siif&d' to our
State. He preferred tlie amber to the
white.
Mr. Noble addressed the Conven
tion ou the iron interests of the Chero
kee region, and declared his belief (hat
it would soon be worth more than the
cotton crop annually. He is now
making car wheels—supplying the
State read, and others—and the nail
factory is turning out one hundred
kegs a day, and is unable to supply ; Miscellaneous,
the demand. The Hrove Works are * ; > ~~ 7,:

referring to the iron interest in general.
We heard it stated also that the profits
on the iron enterprises of the region
are proving most satisfactory. Indeed,
the profits reported are almost iucrcd-.
Ible. . f0T| ?V : U
Our report is necessarily imperfect,
but most of the addresses wilt be pub
lished with the journal of the Conven
tion, and in the agricultural papers,
and will afford a rare fund of valuable
information, aud of i tactical suggetion*
for the people.
ROME.AND THE ROMANS.
We cannot conclude the-o harried

of the cordial hospitality extended by ■
many of the citizens, and s% word of
