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 iucreiiMo in our mamifaotural and mechanical enterpriHOH. Ono amoug the most important branches of industry to our people is that of manufadurimj as well as producin'] our owu cot ton—thus Having tho profit* of pratlndon and 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 ry, which really did more to give hor people 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 New England should she bo able to purchase thorn after the completion of this revolution in tho channel of Southern enterprise.

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.

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.

Wo disclaim any tiring of $160,000. It turns out 500 yards of cloth per tho sort ' Henee ' if nHr suggestions are unwor- 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.
