prosperity of tho South, to boo tho oviclcut spirit
of ontorpriHo •which is beiuR ymnifcHtod by tho
pooplo in many portions of the Southern States.
A now Hfo dooms to havo opened up before
thorn; and, ns for as they uro able, they uro
taking hold of matters in a manner that evinces
a determination to live at homo. True, wo knv
accomplished little as yet; but we aro certain
two or throe years will fraffi *o to Rhow a great

branches of industry to our people is that of
manufadurimj as well as producin'] our owu cot

manufacture to thcmselvos, instead of giving
both, to a great extent, to thoso whoso highest
ambition is to traduce and oppress us. There
is no roason why this should not bo dono event
ually. Tho only obstacle iu tho way of such a
devoutly wishod-for consummation is the want
of capital, and our people, we trust, will mvou
bo ttblo to obviato this difficulty, and then wo
shall show all New England what folly it was iu
them to cut oil' their own support in bringing
about tho destruction of the institution of slave

employment ns manufacturers and carriers of
our cotton than they derived tVom any one source.
The abolition of slavery has, or will, greatly
change the channels of industry at the South. —
The South will eventually produce and manu
facture her own cotton, and sell her fabrics io

We regret to soe a disposition on the part of
a portion of the press to advlHe the Legislature
to stultify itself and dishonor the people of
Georgia, by urging the proposition that nothing
shall he done, during its present session, ex-
pt to pasH a resolution declaratory of the bond
fhl members that they acted in conformity with
their oaths in tho expulsion of the negro mem
bers of that body because of their ineligibility
under the Hadicnl Constitution und laws of the
State, and affirming their willingness to submit
the legality of thoir actiou in that matter to tho
decision of the 8tato or Federal Supreme Court.
Looking at this subject from a stand-point of
priuclplo aud justice, regarding Georgia as a
sovereign 8tato, even under the manipulations
of Congress, and according to tho Kadicul idea
of reconstruction, we ennnot see what business
our Legislature has to furthor consult Congress
iu regard to the affairs of the Stute. If a sover
eign State has not the right to regulate its own
domestic affairs, then wo may as well have
Federal ccntvalizid Government at Washington,
aud all the States brought under the suuio sub
jection to Federal authority; aud Congress may
just as well usurp the power of so declaring at
once that State** arc not sovereign and act ac
cordingly. Cougress luui the smuo right, under
tho Constitution, to make such a declaration as
to uow interfere in tho local affairs of any oue
or nmro States. And Hhould the Georgia Leg
islature be so weak, and slavish to umrpatiou,
as to entertuiu such a proposition, as stated
above, we may as well submit om* legislation en
tirely to Congress ami thus save the expense of
a Legislature and relieve tho people of Georgia
of further taxation in support of that useless
appendage to our State affairs.
The Georgia Legislature, representing tho
people of a sovereign State, have no business to
consult tho wishes of members of Congress iu
their legislation. The duty of the members of
that body is to conserve aud promote the inter
ests und happiuess of tho people of the State,
in so fur as those interests do not conflict with
tho Constitution of the State or of the United
States, which they have sworn to observe and
sustain. Congress lias no mow right to dietato
for Georgia legislation than it has for the legis

Something over twenty years ago, while the
writer was yet what is sometimes termed a
“country greeu horn,” living iu the vicinity of
Athens, Gn., an humble “ factory boy," we chanc
ed to drop in the office of tin* Banner, whoro we
found a sprightly and polite young man not out
ot his teens. We read iu his countenance a
good-hearted fellow. With all kindnosH he show
ed us around the printing office, oxpiainiug, as
far as possible, tho various processes of produc
ing a new spaper. This was done in such a po
lite and kind manner, that it made an impression
of respect for the young man on our heart tlmt
has not yet boon effaced. Timo grow apaeo.—
We became an apprentice in tho old M'/t/t; office,
(God bless tho name 1' under the proprietorship
of Messrs. Christy & Lumpkin, (tho latter now
dead—peace to his aNlics I - the other nnolocteil
member of Congress;) and tho clover young
printer of tho Banner office hud left aud was en
gaged as publisher anil prapiotor of a paper iu a
remote Georgia town. A year or two more, a
change took place iu the proprietorship of the
Whig office and the i>upor assumed a diflbreut
name - that of Herald. An extensive job office
was attached, and tho clever young man, for
merly of tho Banner office, became one of the
partners of the ooncern, and thus the writer,
utrogliug'with povorty and tho want of oducatiou,
trying to master “tho black art,” boonnio ap
prentice to tho clover young man of tho Banner
office.
Thus being brought into closer relations with
our subject, bettor advantages wore afforded of
learning and appreciating more fully his truo
character. We found him the polite aud kind
employer, and it was with many regrets upon
tho part of “ the boys” when circumstances made
it necessary for him to leave tho couaoru—for
all loved and honored him.
More than a decade aud a half have passed.—
Many changes have transpired in the newspaper I the puhiii'hi
realm of Georgia since then. A civil war has
shocked the country with the convulsive throes
of revolution. Our friend still lives to adoru
the profession of his early choice by his enter
prise, integrity and, kindness of heart. Wo, too,
still cling, touaciously, but reverently, to the
same calling, with only partial success. A few
days ago, the employees of a publishing house
honored tho firm, in the person of its senior,
with a handsome gold watch and chain. For
what? may bo asked. The answer is, For the
respect they had for his integrity of character,
and goodness of heart - his politeness and kiud
attention to their interests.
John W. Bucko, tho son of a pious and hum
ble tailor, tho builder of his own fortune, icns
the clever young man of the Banner office, and
is tho senior of the publishing house of J. W.
llurke &. Co., and senior proprietor of tho Macon
Journal ifc Mcssenjcr.
Moral. Kindness of heart, integrity of char
acter and politeness of manners are three of the
great secrets of success in life.

thy of being entertained, let them puss unnotic
ed. As wo have repeatedly expressed, wo know
little of practical farming. If wo can throw out
a suggestion worthy of consideration, going to
benefit our readers, wo hope they will not con
sider it presumptuous. As public journalists, it
is our duty to do this; and it is equally tho duty
of iutelligent farmers to assist us, with their
pons, in building up the great basis of our .pros
perity. It is only in this interest wo attempt to
write at all on the subjoct of agriculture. There
fore, wo do not wish to bo regarded in the light
of a censor or a dictator in doing so. Our object
is to excite interest in all the improved modes of
agriculture and the adoption of them by our
friends. If we make errouoous suggestions or
statements, let those who know better, come for
ward and correct our errors, through tho medium
in which they appear. We labor for the advance
ment of agricultural prosperity; and, in doing
so, desire the co-operation of those who uro en
gaged in that noblest of all professions.
Our motto is, and wo would carry it out if wo
were engaged in agrieulluro, to plant and raise
provisions sufficient for home consumption—
making cotton as a profit consideration of the
year’s work only. Whon the crib and meat
house are full, all that is over may be counted as
clear gain, and tho planter knows just exactly, at
the end of tho year, what aro his profits. Wo
propose certain reasons why the crops Rhould
be so divided. It liuppons genorally that one or
the other crop fails. If a good provision er®p is
made, and the cotton fails, then tho planter has
only lost his profits, but has enough to live upon
and to make another orop the next your. If tho
provision crops fail and tho cotton crop is a suc
cess, then what was intended as the profits of tho
farm aro on hand to make tho next crop. The
profits of a plantation or farm, therefore, de
pend upon generul good crops. If all ootton is
planted, and failure in production and price
overtake the planter, ho is ruined, and, in many
instances, rendered unable to pitch another crop
without involving himself iu debt.
But he who wisely determines to eat his own
meat and bread, as oxperieuco abundantly proves,
is tlfb most successful man. The experience of
our farmers, the past year, will bear us out in
this remark. When tho South makes good pro
vision orops, and plenty to eat for her people,
cotton sells for more money. When our people
make all cotton and have to buy provisions, cot
ton declines in price and provisions advance.—
It is, therefore, easily to perceive how important
it is for our planters to diversify or divide their
labors and investments in pitching their next
crops.
Therefore, let oar agricultural friends bo sure
to plant corn, whoat, potatoes aud ©very species
of provision crops, and plant cotton only as the
profit investment of the farm. It is the only poli
cy that will work out our prosperity one year
with another. A big ootton crop may make a
man rioh in a year or it may rain him irretriev
ably. But for tho small planter, wjtfi limited
means, a division of orops is the most oertain
plan of keeping what he has and making a
handsome profit two out of overy throe years, if
not every year.
We throw ont these simple suggestions for
what they are worth, be that little or more.
day from 2000 pounds of ruw cotton—its purchas
es averaging $12,000 per mouth. Its present
capital stock is $130,000. Last year the capital
so invested produced a dividend of 16 per cent.,
and the dividends jiavo not been loss than 10
per cent, since the close of tho war—although a
large amount of its earnings have been expend
ed for new machinery. It employs 125 opera
tives at prices ranging from $15 to $35 per month
—furnishing them house reut free of charge.
Now, are not these handsome profits to the
stock-holders ? Suppose such a factory were es
tablished in such communities in the South as
could build one, see the number of poor people
who would thus secure profitable employment,
who otherwise may remain idlers. The greater
number of people engaged in profitable employ
ment the greater the wealth and prosperity of
the whole people. Hence, the profits derived
from the manufacture of onr*own cottou, and
the labor thus employed, would be so much mo
ney retainod at homo to enrich our people and
build up the general prosperity.
The question is, Will our people generally
think of the importance of this question in its
truo light and actav;oordingly ? The manufacture
of cotton is one branch only of the many enter
prises of profits which should engage the atten
tion and energies of our Southern people. At
other times, we shall refer to others, as occasion
presents the fitting time to do so.
Slate Agricultural Society.
We present in this issue of tho Kepobteb tho
appeal of tho Secretary of this Society to the
people of Georgia for their activo co-operation.
From the appeal it will bo seen that the Society
is to meet in Atlanta ou the first Tuesday in next
month. The object of this meeting is to con
sult as to the most successful plans of operations
in agriculture the present year—to dovise a gen
eral system of employing labor, and to prepare
an appeal to the Legislature to make an appro
priation for tho benefit of the Society to pay tho
expenses, in part, of Stato Fairs, Ac.
This being an agricultural State, and a pro
gressive oue, too, wo see no reason why that this
Sooiety may not be fostered by the Legislature.
By such encouragement, a spirit of rivalry will
be excited which will result in a higher and
more successful standard of agriculture, thereby
increasing th© wealth of the pooplo and tho rev
enue of tho State.
To th© people of Troup wo would make a fer
vent appeal to be represented in that meeting
fa they are cordially invited and nnjed to bo. —
No county has a more intelligent class of plant
ers than this; aud we are certain they feel equal
interests with the planters of other counties iu
the advanoenymt of agriculture.
In ordor to put the ball in motion, we propose
Saturday, the 30th instant, as the day for the
meeting of onr farmers at the Court House to ap
point delegates to the meeting.
Hold You* Cotton.—Somo time ago wo gave
Has oar judgment that it would be the true pol
icy of our planters to hold thoir cotton until
spring—giving *8 a reason that the crop o the
Southern States had boon exaggerated at the
North and in Europe, for the purpose, as we then
otated,. to inftdence the markets in & rot of the
speculators. What we conjectured has proved
tree. The crop of last year did not come np to
tho false calculation made by speculators, and
already wo soe cotton advancing in price. It is
onr opinin that by the first of March it will
range from <30 to 85 cents per pound. Let all
holders of cotton watch the markets and observe
the tendency to advance.
The Southern Opinion.—Pollard's paper hen
been revived under the management of W. D.
Chesterman A Co. We have received the first
number, which is filled with interesting and va
ried matter, among which is Hanna’s account of
the article which caused the death of Pollard.
The Supreme Court is in session at At-
l»nta.
Seventy-one colored citizens of Georgia wore
murdered by whites during the past year. Fif
teen arrests have been made ou account of these
murders; and nobody has been punished for
them. Per contra! Fifteen whites were mur
dered by negroes during the. same timo; for
which fourteen arrests were made, seven have
been puuishecl, two acquitted ami tho rest on
trial. And this is tho measure of justice which
i* meted out to tho criminals of the two races iu j
the State which expels from its legislature the 1
legally elected representatives of the people.
All tho loyal people of the land ask is that tho |
sword of justice be aeld with an impartial hand, j
We do not ask for protection for one race more
than another. ‘ ]£qual and exact for all," is the
motto under which Grant was elected; the rule
ho will enforce.— Flembujton (X. J.) Jlepuhlican.
We copy the above tor the double purpose of
showing our readers what kind of stuff is dolled
! out to their readers by the Radical papers of the
! North, aud to say that the creature who penned
the above is either a fool or knave, or both. A
man who preteuds to publish a newspaper, pro
fessing to give tho truth to his readers, must, be
a fool to make such rile assertions; und we
would ask him to be manly enough to state the
source from which he derives his information.—
We of Georgia huvo no knowledge of such a
horrible picturo. If tho negroes do not have
justice, before the Courts, it is because the Judges
do not enforce it, and all our Judges arc appoint
ed by Bullock, the Radical Governor. But it is
our pleasnro to state that the Judges of the
Courts, and the officers of the law in this State,
so far os we know, (and we have hoard nothing
♦o the contrary save through Northern Radical
journals like tho Republican,) all show every dis
position to do justice to all classes without dis
crimination as to color or condition.
And for the further information of this New
Jersey libeller, wo would say to it, that, il’ the
negroes had no friends besides it und its party,
they would soon starve out and become oxtormi-
nated. We would further say to that paper that
tho negroes aro beginning to realize that truth,
and will be a unit oveutually with the decent white
people of the South against its party of vile tru-
ducers aud political scoundrels and liars, as the
abovo quotation shows them to be.
Begging our friends of the Georgia press to
suspend the rule of editorial courtesy, which wo
are all about agreed to observe, wo will just say
that the editors of tho Fleming ton (N.J.) Repub
lican knew they wero penning infamous lies, if
they know anything, when they wrote and pub
lished the abovo paragraph.
Tl»e Ogcci'hcc Troubles.
Just as wo expected, and predicted in the lost
issue of tho Reporter, the report of tho milita
ry iu regard to tho Ogeucheo negro rebellion,
near Savannah, bus boon basely tortured into a
partial, if not entire, exculpation of tho negroes
of ary blame in the affair. Col. Williams, upon
whoso roport that of Gen. Sibley’s was based
and forwarded to army headquarters, just sim
ply makes out the case to mean little or nothing,
or that the Savannah people were more scared
than hurt. If there were an honest government
at Washington City, this fellow Williams would
be dismissed from the service, or degraded, for
incompetency, or what is worse, for misrepre
senting and suppressing facts in an official re
port
A great many of tho negroes engaged in tho
rebellion have been arrested by tho military au
thorities and committed to jail by the civil au
thorities. All the evidence go to prove that there
wore several hundred of them organized and
nrined to resist the law, the almost diametrical
report of the military to the contrary tlmt only a
few frightened negroes, with throe guns and u
bayonet ou a stick, wero *asHembled at tho negro
comp when Gol, Williams went to seo them, on
which oooosion, after being notified of his ap
proach} as the Neiss says, he and his party were
surrounded by a guurd and conducted to tho
headquarters of the negro commander-in-chief,
and that tfie sqrveilance was not withdrawn until
after he had made it known that he was a United
States officer, whop the big Mogul of all the
Ogeeohees, not being at war with the United
States, but with tlie white “rebels,” became re
conciled to his presence and communicated “ his
Side of the question.” “This fact," adds tho
A>u», ** should have assured th® Colonel of the
military organization of the blacks,** well as
their defiance of the civil laws of the land.”
Thus are wo of the South to bo traduced by
the dirty cat's paws of dependent military aspir
ants" for promotion.
