The Planting Interest and the hoan.
Ail of u well know that the.?"** rontrolUm,
interest of the Confederate State* m. and will pro
bable long continue o be. the Agricultural inter
est. ‘ Br honest, skilfol, well-d.rected lenor, we
draw cor ncbe* directly from mother earth. Onr
strength, a* our glory. is based upon a thorough-
It organized, completely controllable, and always
efficient svstem of-field labor, And the immediate
or raw product* thereof. The very foundation of
onr Government is our system of lalwr and :-u r
Aaricidture. To secure to ourselves the right to
manage onr affairs as wc Ihought moat conducive
t c, onr int*rente, to strengthen and protect, to *e
r i* . a*, to make permanent that vaat and va<i!
• ror ‘*.'niiation, on which *o many human be
ir;’ depend, ar.d which is really the basis of the
rn v ion Jof the age, we hare abandoned our
ronn-'ctioa with Confederates, whose imaginary
ntere-:% and whose real sentiments and fanati
rms were in conflict therewith. It is but right
*r>d proper therefore, that, for the purpose of rna
-1 ng good our claim to independence, and for se
r * - the permanent protection of the great
planting and slave interest, the planters should be
allowed op port: yto bear their proportionate
burden in toe conflict.
Many of this cl • r know have abandoned the
as-a of l;• t b t :*■ up arms. Many have
giver, u,occasion offered, of tueir means, to
pr paru t.e solder for baute, arid to take care of
b a fa: ;iy iie he wres abaeot. But the planting ,
interest is necessarily a cc mtry interest, and the !
farmer and planter nd most of their time, as j
they properly should, oa thc:r ch giving di- j
rection to the labor committed t< their charge. A ;
vast muliil.id j of them have not yti oerhapa fully i
considered the bearings of ibis contest, the im
portan :of it, e p. daily to them, and the necesni
ties of it. Iron: nut having the matter brought
and r * niy b’ u - to th'ur conaideration, they have
allow’ and L 4 sos G.o government to be met j
and h >rne maiLl/ by th* ntie* and towns, by the j
rnorr v ccntr •. The mercantile and transports j
tiou ititfrct te nave come forwßiu with their means, 1
Lot the Urge mass of farmers ©r. ! pu.ju.-r* have j
not yet be jme . 1y ai >ns?d to ti. j demands of the !
occasion, jn a money point of view. But wo are 1
glad lo Iftiovr that tiu l- “ r has recently been ;
brought i<> their attention in a neighboring coim- j
tv, a very wealthy planting county, noted too, for j
its refinement, its liberality end is chivalry, as
much as for its wealth. Wc allude to the county ,
of Burke.
From the Waynesboro Xnot wre learn that .fudge
Ktarnes, of this city, and Gov. Johnson, of Jeffer
son, addressed the citizens of Burke last Tuesday
on the aspects of the war, and in a practical man
ner in regard to the question of reveuue—the
needs of the Government and the wrays of supply
ing them. An immediate organization was effect
ed, and the question of the loan considered. The
meeting app .*ited a committee of three from each
district in the county, whose business it is to
bring the matter to Vue consideration of the whole
planting community, and to report to an adjourn
ed meeting. We k :n too that the planters pres
ent entered into the matter with a zeal worthy the
people of Burke, and pledged themselves f<> sus
tain Ui tr p #*• rnment with their purse—with their
cotton bales. This is a move of importance and
n the right direction, and wceommend the action
of t:;e Burke people to the planters of onr State
generally. We know it is only necessary to cal*
attention thus, in order to M*t in motion the plant
ing community, and to secure the best efforts of
the great slavchohl. ’g and agricultural interest,
to sustain the go. rnmont in that way which shall
he most . ‘!’ • Let the farmers and planters
now com ■ forward to second the hankers, and
mere hunts cod cotton dealers and railroad rnen,
and the 1. • rnmei.t will all the sinews of war
it may . t ,nm\ VV -- do not design this as any ap
peal, but wc v; i .li *nply to call the attention of the
country to This Matter, to point out to the people the
manner in which those w ho need not volunteer as
soldiers may yet most nohly show their patriotic
feelings, and most efficiently aid in the glorious
work in wlii’ h w? ail have an abiding interest,
and to which each ■ ue of ns should tender his aid,
to the extent he may be able. Let us all remem
ber the parable of the ten talents, the five, nod
the* one, and let there be none so illiberal or fool
sh an to hide ours in a napkin.
An I Outrage by a New York
ni.
It is currently reported iu town, and generally
believed, as the report comes through an authori
tative channel, that Mr. G B. Lamar, a native of
Georgia, but for many years past doing business :
iu New York, where lie formerly occupied the po- ■
sition of President of tho Bank of tho Republic, j
was recently required by a mob to give SSOO for j
the support of the families of volunteers, and, up
on lus refusal, he was taken hold of and threaten- ;
ed with instant hanging on the nearest lamp por. j
Under this threat, anti completely overpowered, j
Mr. Lamar consented to give the money, remark
ing that he did so only on compulsion by superior
force, whereupon the mob required that tho sum
should 1 SI,OOO, and Mr. Lamar was thus held
until he psvo i> ; n check for the latter amouut, and
a runner wua dispatched to the Bank to get the
money. When the money was received ho was
released.
It is difficult to believe that even a New York
mob could he guilty of such a cowardly atrocity,
or that there were not law-and-order men in tho
city t . preieut it, or that the mob bus such com
plete control that decent men or men at all—
dare not uttempt to th .. f them. Are tlio people
wholly demented Do none of them comprehend
that they are lieapii gup ratli against the day of
wrutlif Are mv determined to goad our people
to that p iat • f desperation, that they can not be
res ruiuid > c>;.* -.a king this new Sodom, and
blotting it from the face of the earth!
How ditfertutiy our people are acting. If any
Northern men among ns are disaffected to our
Government, denounce it, and prefer the Govern
ment of Lincoln, they are allowed quietly to
leave, ami go home. And so we hope our people
will continue to act, where there is no overt act of
treason, of givir.g u.d tad comfort, or information,
to the enemy. V*• hope that wo shall never imi
tate this buu f\*.- pie, whereby many innocent
might suffer, out tb.” w shall store up nil our
vengeance i > bo meted cut, lull measure, to the
North, in the settlement of final accounts.
The friends of our Yc hint tors, uow in
service near Pensiw jl, have very k:tnily sent
them many articles of food, t’ rry the usual
cHoip faro, and the soldiers aro profoundly grate
ful, more for the will, however, than the deed.
We have >;:ii n letter Iron* one of tbe volunteers,
saying that their Augusta friends had unwillingly
done th?m a harm rather thu a good by their
kindly and well-meant oUlees. The provisions
usually scut over are not svich ns promote the
health of the troops stationed in a hot climate
and compelled to do a great deal of heavy labor,
to which many of them have not been accustomed
heretofore. Delicacies, luxuries, sweetmeats, con
factions, Ac., to which soldiers are accustomed ai
home, arc not the articles that they need, or that
Are good for them, in hard service. They tend
rapidly, aided by the heat, fatigue, Ac., to bring
on those diseases to which soldiers are more than
usually liable; aud it would be a kindness to them
if their friends would send them only substantial
provisions, but at the same time such as would be
extremely relished as a variation from their daily
hard fan*, but no confections, cakes, and such
like. Boiled bum, tongues, Ac., would be highly
prised, and would not be injurious to health. We
simply call after.;ico to this matter in order that
the very kind and generous intentions of our citi
zens may not take a direction so apt to prove de
leterious.

these rates. Advertised letters will he eha*-r*d

■ays there are two powder mills iu Pickens Dis
trict, 8. <J. t which have beeu in operation for
some years, and yet the people seem to be id ig
norance of the fact that we have any powder
I mills in the Confederate States. Let us hear
1 from all who have powder mill* at work in the
South. This is a very simple manufacture, re
quiring very little skill or capital, aod yet It is
ail-important at this time. Home years ago there
was a powder mill in Columbia county, Georgia,
at which an excellent article was made, near
Rousseau Hpring, owned and worked by Hobatto
Gaktrill. Sulphur is the only substance we |
shall have to go abroad for, that is used in the
manufacture of powder; it may be got in the
Mediterranean. Heversl years ago we visited a
large cave near Kingston, Geo., and a company, I
we learn, are preparing to get nitre from it. By
all means let us set about making our own pow- i
der in large quantity. We can make it of aa j
good quality aa any body.
It seems an impression has got abroad that those
two former staunch Unionists, but loyal sons of
Virginia, Hon. A. 11. H. Htuart and Col. John Ti.
Baldwin, arc sympathising, if not affiliating, with
i Carlile, Jackson, and others, of the Panhandle,
! who have recently held a Convention at Wheel
ing, where it wa proposed to secede from Vir
| gima. This is quit© a mistake. With all their
strong Union sympathies and sentiments, inbred
an i nurtured from early manhood, Stuart and
; Baldwin, as many another of their friends, could
not hesitate when Virginia was forced to choose
. between war and degradation. Both of them, as
members of the Convention, voted for the Ordi
nance of Secessirn, and both are now urging the
j people (who really need uo urging,; to vote for
I ratification next Thursday. Like thousands of
! others in the graud old State, however much they
! may have heretofore opposed secession, they re
member always that they are Virginians, and
I that Virginia can not submit to dishonor. Col.
| Baldwin is now inspector General of the .State
| forces.
The Aftrcarp is informed that a Charleston
merchant has received a consignment of Ken

Why will anybody continue to say we can’t pro

see, the Carolina* and Georgia ? Why even here,
in Richmond county, and all through middle
Georgia, on land that can he bought for four dol
lars to eight dollars per acre, with oate and peas,
i a crop of each on the same land every year) and
crab-grass, butter at twenty-five jeents would be
quite profitable. Bend along some of your North
Carolina and Kentucky butter, for what is uow in
tho Augusta market is retailed at fifty cents per

Fishing Smack Chased by a U. S. Vessel.—
We learn from Captain Wyatt, of the schooner
Col. Long, that his vessel lrft the Florida coast,
for this place on Tuesday last, and on Wednes
day morning, passed a British ship off Ossabaw,
beating up for Tybee. Shortly after Captain W.
reached Warsaw, he met a sloop of war, running
down before the wind and in such amanner as to
impress upon his mind that she was in pursuit of
him, (probably for fresh supplies.) He immedi
ately put his schooner about, and ran through the
breakers of Warsaw, in seven foot of water, and
thus escaped. He represents the vessel to be uew
ly built, and a fine looking crvft, probably ouo of
the recently launched sloops-of war, and was very
heavily armed. —Savannah Republican, 17/A.

that Lora Lyons called on Mr. Seward upon offi

the fact that two English Teasels were brought

Thb Wheat Crop.—A letter dated Stewart
May 11th, says : “ We commenced cutting wheat
! to-day. Wheat in this county was nover better,
, and there is an abundance sown. Look out for
I cake a plenty soon.”
A letter dated Walker county, Ga., sat a: “I
have been in this part of the country from its
earliest settlement, and speas from observation,
when I say that the prospect for a good wheat
crop, both in quantity and r.ppesrauce, has never
been better—l think hardly so good as at present
Should wc escape rus r sni other mishaps, the
crop must be abundant.”
Weather, Crops, Ac.—Warm weather has come
at last. The past week bar. been more propitious
for the growing crop, than any we hare had yel.
Corn and cottou ar* looking we!!, though* we
thiuk the former is quite small fo r he • r 'asoo. So
far as we have beard, good stands of the latter
have been obtained, though snme of our fanners
who planted early, and before the hec/ry ruins are
complaining somewhat. The work of chopping
out is rapidly progressing.
t_The wheat crop, too. looks finely, though we
hear some complaint relative to rust upon the
blade. Most of it, however, is> so forward that
we do not think much injury will result from it.
Oats, too, look well, and we hear of no complaint
relative to rust haviug attacked For s?r
eral years past this disease haa caused great in
jury to this useful crop, causing in some places an
almost total failure.
The health of our county, too, is remarkably
good. Amidst the wreck aud ruin of a great gov
ernment, and the prospective clash of arms, this
should be a source of infinite gratitude upon the
part of our people. May this blessing be con
tinued.— Louisville {Jeff. Cos.) Gazette, 15/A.
Yellow Rust on Wheat.—Wo learn that
throughout this section of country, yellow rust on
the wheat is quite common. This is, however,
confined to the blades, and, unless it gets on the
stalk, will do little or no damage. In all other
respects it promises a very large yield. It is now
nearly all headed out. —Rome Courier , 19/A.
Wheat.—The Wheat Crop in this section of the
country, as far as we haro been able to ascertain,
not only bids fair, but very fair for a good yield.

New Flour.—We saw yesterday a speciment
of fine new flour from wheat made on tho farm of
Mr. D. D. Ridenhour, of this county. It was
ground at the Palace Mills aud is the first of the
season that we have seen or heard of. Mr. Kideo*
hour’s crop is a very fine one indeed as ate the
wheat crops of the couuty and State generally.
We have ample assurance that grain enough will
be rnnee at home to supply the country notwith
standing the war and the blockades ; aud whether
we are to Dave continued war or early peace, we
trust tho fa: msrs will continue to devote their at
tention to the production of a sufficiency of “the
staff of life," — Co/umbue Sun, 18 th.
Wheat Crop.—We have made diligent inquiry
of our planting friends iu regard to the prospect
of the wheat crop, and are gratified to learn that
there never has besn as good a prospect for an

in this section will be at least one-third more than
that of last year. —Cherokee {Ga.) Mountaineer.

of glasses is about io become necceeary, to apply the remedy
without delay. A*DK£W STUART.

unnennees the commencement of hostilities in

During secret session it is believed the Tariff

Chamber of Commerce has been here sometime,
and 1 learn has done good service in yegard to
this matter. I believe that the rates will be ma
terially lessened upon all foreign fabrics. For
instance, silks are put in tbe 15 per cent, sched

The effect of this will be to encourage direct trade

Correspondence of the Savannah Republican.
Crops In Georgia.
La Grange, May 17,1861. —Crops in this sec
tion were never more promising at this season of
the year. Wheat is beginning to turn, and tann
ers are whetting the scythe blade* and preparing
for the heaviest wheat crop made in years. Oats [
promise well, and good s easons for a few weeks
more will make the yield of them abundant be- \
yond expectation. Verily, Provicence smiles
upon us.
Spalding Co.,Ga.. May 18, 1861.—1n this sec- [
tion I think there is one-third more corn planted
this year than last; there is also more wheat
sowed, with a bright prospect of an abundant j
harvest. Last year our crops of wheat were al
most an entire failure, as well as corn ; in a word, |
corn, wheat, potatoes, and every thing raised
for food, in field or garden, are uncommonly
fine; of course, our seasons of rain are good.
Macon County, May 18,1561. —I never knew .
the crops at this season more promising than at [
the present time; possibly they mav occasionally [
have been a little more forward. The spring was j
rather cool, though without any injurious frosts, |
end they did not get off very forward ; but the
weather Las latterly been fine, with rain just
wuen wanted, neither too much nor too little, and
| the crops are coming to time. Both corn and cot-
I ton look well and promising, while the froit crop
will be an ample one, in fact every fruit tree of
any kind is doing its best. I have a few cherry
trees that have, for tbe last ten years, bi>en only
mmberers ot the ground, and that this year have
produced a fine crop of fruit.
The wheat crops are good in quantity and quali
ty. I have just harvested a part of a field, aDd
while the yield is handsome in quality, I have
never made any to equal it, and I take this to be
the ease generally. I have not seen a particle of
rust, blast or smut. But wheat is not an import
ant crop hre, and much of what is made in this
section will go as food for horses and mules, more
than for men.
Oats look well, and so far no indication ot the
disease which two or three vears since destroved
the crops so completely and generally, that mknr
planters abandoned their culture. I allude to the
rust. In that instance it attacked the crops earlv
in this month.
I do not observe that less cotton has been plant
ed in this section than last year, or not materially
less; yet more corn has I think been planted ; the
ennual increase of cultivated lands, has been add
ed to the corn fields. If the season continues as
favorable as it has begun, there will be plenty of
both.
Brandon, Gwinnett CorXTT, Ga. —Having just
returned home from a visit through Hall, Be nkg,
Franklin, Jackson and Madison counties, I thought
a short letter on crops, military affaire, etiy, etc.
might not be uninteresting to many of yu r nu
merous readers.
Wheat cropsj never kid fairerf for a full crop
in those counties than now. A third more was
seeded last fall than ever before. I have heard of
but little rust yet, though it is not too late to do a
freat deal of damage, as the most of it is jnst
eading. Since the last rains, oats are very prom
ising. Owing to the scarcity of corn last frill,
more of them was sown this spring than form er
ly. Corn is quite small and backward for the
middle of May, and iD many places the stand was
bad, so much so, that whole fields had to be plant
ed the second time.
Cotton maxes but a poor show. I would not be
at all surprised if at least one-third has been, and
will be, plowed up, and the land put in corn.
The military spirit is fully aroused in the above
counties, and companies are making up rapidly.
Gwinnett has one company made up, with Henry
P. Thomas, Capt. • and another one making up
under Richard D. Winn, Eq.
At a low estimate, in the aboxe sjx counties,
there will be ready for service by the fixetof June
at lftifi tweiwe coc-dab*^
