Let the People take Courage, be Loyal. Resolute and industrious. [From the Atlanta intelligencer.) 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.” C. W. Howard. FEARFUL STORM IN THE WFST. Crop* Damaged—Railroads Injured— I Tire Disaster on the Chicago and North western —-Names of the Killed—The 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 SAVANNAH, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, AUGUST 31, 1865. 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.
