Spring Bask, August 20, 1864.
Editor of Intelligencer:
The receipt of a letter from a friend, one
ol our most estimable and distlngubbed men,
lias suggested this communication. Ihe
tone of that letter was so sad and it was so
similar in seDtiraent to other utterances from
good and true men, that I have thought it
might do good, availing myself of the priv
iiece of age, to express in a public form, and
under my own name, other views of a more
cheerful character i n regard to the future of
our beloved State. ,
It is true that we have a prospect of heavy
taxation, both State and national ; it is true
that we have lost our negroes, and that our
farms have in many instauces been laid waste
and devastated; it is true that we are to
undergo, in paiuful and inevitable contact
with it, the solution of the most profound
problem which has yet been submitted to
the minds of statesmen—the sudden lifting
up from a state of slavery of four millions ol
au inferior race io a state of freedom; and
above all it is true that we have lost thou
sands of our best, and noblest, and truest
But while these are sad realities, all is not
lost. We have retained our self-respect. INo
humiliating concessions have been demanded
of us We have been required to pass under
no yoke. We have been defeated not by
eaual b ut superior, even overwhelming num
bers. Nearly every Geneial of distinction in
the Federal army, has awarded to us m pub
lic assemblages at the North, the character
of brave and honorable adversaries. Euro
pean nations, without exception, have ren
dered the same award. We did that which
we thought right. We periled life and pro
perty upon the issue. In the hands oi an
overruling Providence we were unsuccessful.
Let us accept the result with dignified and
manlv fortitude as the exhibmon of His will
concerning ourselves and our country.
Our Bibles, our churches, our schools, our
freedom of thought and speech, our civil
rights and immunities as citizens of Geoig.a,
are left undisturbed, saving the comparative
ly few excepted. When before has there
been a conquered people, iu an y a ß e ° r ln
any portion of the globe left in a condition
so’favorable? Think of the yoke of the
Romans, of the ‘Vaevictis oi the Middle
Ages, of the spoliation and partition of Po
land? of crushed and ruined Hungary, oi the
miserable fate of the conquered in the sue
ceusive revolutions which have scourged
France, of the more than century of Ireland s
deep humiliation, of the doom of those who
suffered’ in Scotland in the Rebellion of 174a,
aud of the confiscation of property and ban
ishment of those in Georgia who, in the Rev
olution, had taken up arms against the Colo
nie» Contrast these instances with our con
dition. But a single step is required of us
to place us in a position quite equal to the
most favored citizens of the United States.
That step is to swear in all honesty that we
will be hereafter loyal to the Government
with which we have just been at war. Could
less be demanded ? Is there any teaching of
history which could have induced us to ex
pect so little as a condition precedent to our
restoration to our rights and immunities ?
It would not be human to forget the terri
ble scenes of the Into war They are cut
upon our memories a9 with the point of a
diamond. Since that war has terminated,
it would be unmanly nottoacknownowledge
the clemency and liberality of the Federal
Government. The policy of President John
son, present and prospective,- gives assurance
that every reasonable aid will he extended
Io us, in our efforts to repair the disasters
from which we have suffered. With the full
knowledge which we possess ot the efforts
now being made by Radicals at the North to
thwart bis kindly purposes coneerningus.it
will be an insanity on °“P"J^as
take the most prompt and energetic meas
ures to place ourselves in a condition to af
ford him material support. Before the war
we were precipitate. Now we■ «* apa *£'
Each extreme is equally hurtful. If the
radical party at the North obtains the ascen
dancy, another “night shut in upon mid
night’’ will gather over and around us. Hope
will then have fled from us. Our only re
source will then be the sad alternaUve of ex
patriation. This catastrophe can with cer
tainty be avoided, if the Southern people do
their duty with energy and promptness.
But it may be asked, of what avail wijj be
our restoration to our civil and political
rights aud privileges, since we aic penniless
aud our lauds arc left without laborers to
cultivate them ? This question may be asked
by one who is the owner of five hundred, or
a thousand, or perhaps more acres of land.
A European and a Northern man would be
amused at the question. If either of them
owned so much land without owning any
thing else, he would consider himself rich. —
We must do as they have done, or would do,
in like circumstances. We must revolution
ize our system of agriculture. We must give
our land a value independent of labor. W e
must make it work for itself.
Is it asked how can this be done ? The
reply is easy. Sow a large portion of these
lands in permanent grasses suited to the soil
and climate. From them thus laid down
make butter, cheese, hay, and raise horses,
mules, cattle, hogs and sheep. The wool
crop of Georgia, in a few years, can be made
to equal the tormer value of Its cotton crop.
It costs less to raise a pound of fine merino
wool than it does to raise a pound of cotton,
bs the increase of the flesh covers expenses
and the wool is clear.
Is it said laying down land to grass costs
money and we have none ? The owner of a
thousand acres of land can sell five hundred
acres to put the other five hundred in order.
If there are no purchasers now there soon
will be. It is better to make one half of our •
property profitable than to whine over the
profltlessnesa of the whole.
It is a cjturnon opinion that valuable
grasses will not grow in Cotton States. This
is a mistake; they will grow and grow well.
Red clover will thrive on manured clay up
land and on any rich bottom land not too
wet for wheat. Heida grass will flourish on
any bottom land too wet for cultivation.
Fox winter pasture, where orchard grass and
meadow oat grass will not grow, the Terrell
grass or wild rye will grow. For summer
pasture neither Old England or New England
have any grass equal to Bermuda. Lucerne,
which cannot be raised at the North or in
England and which is incomparably the best
of all forage plants for hay, both as to quan
tify and quality—thrives bn lands sufficient
ly rich, in Georgia, from the mountains to
the shifting sands of the seacoast. There is
no part of Europe or America better suited
to the profitable rearing of live stock, under
a proper sytem of management, than the
State of Georgia. This is not theory or
speculation. This conclusion is based upon
more than t wenty years of close observation
in this country and in Europe. It is my firm
belief that if this change in our system of
agriculture be adopted with life and energy,
in a few years ourselves and our children
will be in a really more comfortable con
dition, and in the enjoyment of a sounder
prosperity than when we held our negroes
and planted exclusively cotton and rice.
Asa part of this system we need the de
velopment of a resource heretofore compar
atively idle—the immense water power found
in almost every section of the State. Inde
pendent of its value otherwise, the farmer
requires that there shall be a proportion of
consumers to afford a home market for his
produats. This development demonds capi
tal. This capital can be obtain in Europe. I
have found by personal inquiry that the ob
jection of both capitalists and laborers in
Europe to the South was founded on the ex
istence of slavery. This objection is now re
moved, and both capital and labor can be
procured by proper effort. I would venture
to suggest to the Convention soon to assem
ble, the propriety of sending a commissioner
to Europe to secure the introduction of
foreign capital and skilled labor from Lom
bardy and other coterminous States, in which
the climate is similar to our own, in which
the practice of irrigation, so important to us,
is best understood, aud in which the people
are industrious, used to a hot sun, and ac
customed to low wages.
The change in the system of agriculture
proposed is but an adoption of the system
practised in Europe from time immemorial,
and from which our former system was an
unwise and remaikable departure.
Courage then, my countrymen. With
health and strength, with clear consciences,
and with the blessing of God, we can mould
our own future. It is unmanly to repine.
It is suicide to sit with folded arms. It is
cowardly to run away from a suffering state
until all hope is dead. Towards the Govet n
raent let us be loyal, in the selection of men
for office let us be careful, in our views of the
future let us be cheerful, in the work of re
construction let us be prompt, in our own
affairs let us be energetic, aud towards our
Maker let us be reverently obedient. As to
our own beloved State, let us as Georgians
so act, that each one of us may be enabled
to appropriate and utter the memorable
words of Cardinal De Retz before the French
Parliament: “In the most difficult times of
the republic I never deserted the State ; in
her most prosperous fortune I never tasted
of her sweets; in her most desperate circum
stances I knew not fear.”

FEARFUL STORM IN THE WFST.
Crop* Damaged—Railroads Injured— I Tire
Disaster on the Chicago and North

Storm on the Lake—Collision of Sail
ing Vessels, Ac.
[From the Chicago Bepubllcan, Aug. 23.]
The summer of 1865 will long be remem
bered for Its singularity. On comparing the
daily registers of the weather with those of
past summers it will be seen that it is many
years since we experienced such a remarka
ble season. There has been an almost total
absence of the usual extremely warm weath
er, instead of which we have had excessive
rains, destruciive storms, and one or two
feartul tornadoes. An immense amount of
property has been destroyed, not a few lives
have been lost, and it would certainly
take several millions of dollars to make up
the losses sustained.
THE STORM ON MONDAY NIGHT.
One of the most severe storms wc have
ever experienced visited this locality on
Monday night, and resulted, most unfortun
ately, In the loss of 'several lives and the de
struction of a great deal of property. It was
wide spread, and must have extended over
several hundred square miles. We have re
ports from various parts of the country, and
judging from the accounts great loss must
have been sustained, especially in agricul
tural districts. It is reported that the grow
ing crops have suffered severely. In some
parts large yields of corn have been destroy
ed totally or in part; fruit trees have been
blown down or tom up by the roots, and
where this has not been done the fruit has
been stripped from the trees and scattered
over the ground, in some wooded districts
hundreds of trees have been damaged, and
many of them completely destroyed ; all the
growing cropa have suffered more or less,
and many thousand dollars worth of corn,
buckwheat and other cereals must have been
lost. We have not heard of any loss of life,
either to man or beast, among the agricul
turists.
PAYUOE IO THE RAILROADS.
Along the Une of the Michigan Central
road the storm was experienced in all its
fary. Considerable damage wa9 done to the
growing crops, but the road was not ipjur
ed.
On the Illinois Central road the storm was
felt, and on both sides of the road the farm
ers suffered heavily. The Une sustained no
injury.
The St. Louis aud Alton road was not
damaged, though the storm swept over it
with rail fury. Orchards aud field crops suf
fered severely.
Aloog the line of the Michigan Southern,
for the distance of about one hundred miles,
the growing crops and ftuits were severely
damaged. In some districts whole fields of
corn were destroyed. The track was not in
jured.
On the Pittsburg and Fort Wayne road no
damage was done. The crops, however,
suffered heavily.
The Qreat Eastern road sustained no in
jury. The damage to crops does not appear
to have been so heavy as in other districts.
On the Une of the Chicago and Rock Is
land road a severe break occurred near the
town of Peru. Several hundred feet of the
track were waalted away in one place, and
at various parts of the road, over a distance
of many miles, the grading of the track was
lujured.
On the line of the Chicago and Northwest
ern road the most serious damage was done.
A portion of the track was washed away, a
train of passenger cars ran into the break
and four lives were thereby lost. The regu
lar night train left Fulton at ten o’clock, and
when two miles west of Morrison station the
sad accident occurred. At the spot where
the accideatitook place there is a large cul
vert which has hitherto been sufficient for
all purposes. The excessive rains of Mon
day night, however, carried the culvert and
a large piece of the track away, and the
night being exceedingly dark the engine
must have Been unable to see the
T* right at it. The forward portion
ytmutrala plunged into it, ami the locomo
pve and tender and baggage car were dash
ed to pieces, and one of the passenger coaches
badly broken. There ware four persons

killed by this melancholy occurrence. Their !
names are, J. H. Bebee, engineer, John
Fenton, fireman: Stephen Thatcher, express
messenger; L. B. Lewis, passenger, from
Odell, lowa. Two or three other persona
were injured, but none seriously.
THK STORM ON THS LAKE.
On the lake the storm was fearful, and we
arc afraid that ia a day or two wc shall
hear of many losses. At present we have
but one serious disaster to report, and it for
tunately is not accompanied with any fatal
occurrence. The brig E. W. Cross and the
schooner A Beausch collided during the gale,
wiecking both vessels. AU hands, however,
were saved.
KETCHUM CAUGHT,
THE POLICE ARREST HIM.
He is Cool as a Cucumber.
VISITS CENTRAL PARK, AND TAKES
EVERYTHING EASY.
$50,000 FOUND ON HIS PERSON.
HE HAS NOT BEEN OCT OP THE CITY
SINCE THE FORGERIES.
iMTERESTIHB fAQTS AND RUMORS.
[From the N.Af’. fixprees of Saturday Evening.]
Edward B. Ketchum, the greatest of all
modern defaulters and forgers, was arrested
last night, and is now in durance vile. He
was taken into custody by Detectives Mac
dougall and Gilmore in West 20th street,
where he had been secreted since the forge
ries had become known.
When arrested he appeared very cool and
noncha/ent, did not betray the slightest excite
ment, and accompanied the officers as unre
sistingly as a babe.
He stated to the officers that he had not
been out of the city for a single day since bis
mysterious (?) disappearance, and expressed
much surprise that he had not been tracked
and arrested before.
On Thursday last, he spent the whole day
riding ana walking in and about Central
Park, and in the evening walked down from
the Park to his temporary residence.
In his possession was found $50,000 in
greenbacks, which was taken from him by
the police, and is now in their hands await
ing final disposition.
Ketchum was brought to the police head
quarters last night, and was locked up in
one of the strong rooms attached to the De
tectives’ office.
This morning be still maintains the same
jaunty and devil-may-care air about him, and
iu all respects he acts like a youth who does
not realize the position he has placed him
self aud others in.
It will be remembered the Importers’ and
Traders’ National Bank, about a week ago,
offered $5,000 for the arrest of Ketchum.—
Since then the Detectives have been diligent
ly in search of the fugitive ; But did not
strike his trail until yesterday. They then
followed him up very closely and finally
succeeded last night in tracking him to the
house in West 20th street, where he was ar
rested.
No criminal proceedings, it is understood,
have been instituted against Ketchum, but
he will be held lor the disposition of the au
thorities.
It Is rumored that Ketchum, while con
cealed, put aside enough money in a safe
place, to take care of himself for a long
while. He has, it is estimated, $150,000 iu
some safe place, and being assured of that
fact, concluded not to be particular as to his
arrest, which he knew, would take place
some lime or other. Ectchum is reported to
have said, that he expected to be tried and
convicted, and thought it best to provide
agaiDSt any emergencies.
The prisoner does not look particularly
troubled about his situation; iu fact he seems
to think that there is not much of a crime
about the transaction in which he was en
gaged. He appears inclined to consider it as
a pretty heavy gold speculation in which he
got considerably the worst of it. Having
“borrowed” money, which would have been
paid, in the event of successful operations,
he looks upon it as borrowed money which
cannot be paid at present, though hoping for
a liquidation of the debt at the earliest day
possible. In short, he is nothing but an
overgrown boy, entirely out of bis element,
and without judgment enough to get or keep
out of the way. That's Edward B. Ketch
um, as described by those who were the last
to have the honor ot his pergonal acquain
tance. It is said that in the house where he
was captured, he enjoyed himself in a pleas
ant manner, driving dull care away in light
amusements, and in speculations as to the
effect of his operations.
It is said that the family of Ketchum knew
as to his whereabouts ever since his disap
pearance, but from a natural sympathy with
his misfortune, said nothing about it. Be
sides, no criminal proceedings having been
commenced, they are guilty of no offence, If
the 9tory is true.
But few people knew of the arrest, but the
news soon spread like wildfire, and now
every oue wants to know what is to become
of the prisoner.
Anotbrr Railroad Slaughter-Ten or
Twenty Person* Kilted and About
Twenty Injured.
Nashville, Tenn,, Aug. 25, 1865.
' A terrible accident occurred ou the Ten
nessee and Alabama Railroad to-day, A
passenger train which left here for Hunts
ville, Alabama, this morning, ran off a long
trestle work near Reynolds’ station. The
entire train was thrown oft 1 and ten or twelve
persons killed, and about twenty injured.
An express messenger, named Mosby, and a
Mr. Hazelton, were killed. No further par
ticulars yet received.
A New Fowl. —A fearful giant in the
shape of a barn-yard fowl bas been intro
duced into Scotland from Central India, call
ed the * ‘Begum Gayusa,” a cut of which is
given in tlie August number of the Ameri
can Agriculturist. The male is thirty inches
high, and appears like the shanghai, except
that on the head a couple of minute horns
arise, instead of a comb, from a heavy base
wbiob projects some distance along the up
per side oi the bill. The wattles are also
larger and fuller. The chickens of this kind
of fowl, it U reported, grow to the weight
of eight pounds at seven and eight months
old, limbs, of course, Included. We have
so account of the laying properties.
Our sister city Macon is not more free from
the troubles of the times than the rest of us.
The Telegraph says:
A Night of Terror — Saturday night last
will not be soon forgotten by many of our
citizens. There was a more general use of
fire arms than we have known since the ces
sation of hostilities. In the vicinity of the
new armory and Tattnal Square, as well as
the principal streets of the city, we are in
formed that the whizzing of balls, for a time,
were common sounds. A gentleman, living
near the armory, left a ball In our office this
morning, which struck some object on his
premises, near his dwelling; and says that
his and other families In that neighborhood
were considerably alarmed for their personal
safety. We hear reports also of considera
ble shooting going on In East Macon on the
same night. We have beard so far, ot but
one person Who was seriously injured—a sol
dier who was shot pn Cherry street—and of
this we have not yet reliable particulars.
We are glad to note that Sunday Dight
was much more quiet, and comparatively
little firing was heard. We earnestly hope
that the military and civil authorities will
speedily perfect such an arrangement for the
preservation of order in the city, as will en
sure the utmost quiet at all times, and par
ticularly at night.
The Gazette of the same date says:
On a Spree —lt seemed yesterday that
everybody was on a spree. We have never
seen so many drunken men on the streets of
Macon before. We coutd not determine the
cause of so much dissipation, whether it was
from the character of the whisky or the
character of the men who drank it. One
thing we do know —that is, that many suf
fered in the way of broken dishes, bruised
heads and bloody nose 9. Would it not be
expedient to close up every grocery while
there are so many soldiers in the city ?
In the Sierra Nevada there are gigantic
trees. Visitors who wiU insert a marble slab
in the bark, and enclose the tree by an iron
rail, have the privilege of naming a tree.
Mr. Benjamin C. Howard, of San Francisco,
while on a visit to the Sierra recently, chose
one 300 leet high and 51 in circumference,
whose bark is two feet thick, and named it
“Henry Ward Beecher.” It stands next to
one named Lincoln.
