The Growth or Atlant^
At tho close of the war we visltod Atlanta whilo
it wive yet in ruins, with but low hound standing
to relieve tho monotony of blackened walls that
stood up os monumontu of tho fiendish Vandal
ism of Sherman and his army. Rome wore of

This week, we propose to present a few tacta and houaoa.
idcou to prove that cotton is Mill king.
In former times, it was attempted to make
cotton abtmluto monarch o!‘ tho commercial
world, and such claims wore setup for it; but
the results of the late civil war have proven tho
fallacy of that theory. We contend that cotton
run be. mode king iu its own dominions, with
relative power over tho industry of the United
RtiitoH sufficient to control American com
merce iu favor of the Southern people in build
ing up their wealth and prosperity.
The question naturally arises iu the mind of
tho reader, How can this be accomplished?
Except the entrenchments which surround
tho city— and they arc rapidly disappearing—
there are scarcely any traces of tho burniug and
sacking of tho city left. Palatini residences and
magnificent stores and public buildings, Phccnix-
like, havo sprang up, uud now Atlanta is almost
without a rival in the State in point of popula
tion which i« much greator than it was previous
to the war, and she is extending her nrea and is
employed iu schemes to stretch out her iron
arms of railway to grasp in tho bulk of the com
merce of Upper and North-eastern Georgia. With

Planters aud fanners may regard tho admo
nitions of tho press upon tho subject of agricul
ture with indiflcreuoo, but it oauuot bo denied
that editors havo often given much wholesome
advice in relation to agricultural interests, which,
if it hud been hooded, would have boon great gain
to tho agriculturalist and general prosperity of
tho country. At tho risk of being considered of
ficious, wo propose to advanco a few ideas in re*
gard to tho pitching of the present year's crops.
^ o are of tho opinion, aud wo havo expressed
it frequently, that it is doeidodly to the intorest
of our people to divide their crops, instead of
having all corn or all cotton. Either policy is
ruinous. It is an established fact, and it is in
accordance with the law of demand and supply,
that the greator the amount of cotton wo raise
and tho less of the cereals wo produce, tho less
money wo rooeivo for cotton and the more w
lmvo to pay for provisions. Hence, it is a los-
ing operation to raiso all cotton or all coreuls.—
It wo have ail cotton, wo have to purchase pro
visions nt high prices with cotton at low prices,
and perhaps it will require tho lion’s share ol'
the eottou crop to purchase the supplies neces
sary to make tho ensuing crop.
Tho host policy tho plautor can pursue is to
raise his. own provisions, and make cotton as the
prqfiis of his planting intorosta. By practicing
this policy he runs no great risk of failure, and
is not dependent upon high prices of provisions
for his supplies. Hence, with plenty to eat aud
a fair cotton crop, tho planter is always prepared
for tho expenses of tho ensuing year.
Last year tho cotton crops were partially a
failure in the Atlantic cotton States, and the con
sequence is we are realizing nearly us much
money as if tho crops had boon an average one.
All remember that when tho market opened in the
tall that there was a downward tendency in the
price of Cotton for awhile; but when it was as
certained that the crop was by no means as large
as represented by speculators, prices advanced
immediately. This ought- to demonstrate to
every practical mind tho impolicy of planting
too much cotton.
By all considerations of interest, let there .be
a diversity of crops. Live at home. Draw noth
ing fi o^ abroad which can be produced at home.
Let our exports double our imports if possible.
Improve your lands with your surplus money.—
Don’t go wild with the cotton fover because
prices are high now. You don't know what the
price will bo next fall or what will be tho price
of provisions if yon plant all cotton and have to
purchase your family and plantation supplies.—
Be cautious. Full cribs and meat house*, fat
stock and improved lands, are tho best evidences
of a people’s prosperity, and the surest and
safest road to wealth.
Farmers made a tolerable good supply of pro
visions last year and little cotton, and wo now
see more evidences of prosperity than has been
witnessed in the South since the war. It tlieir
cereal crops had been successful as usual, the
general prosperity would havo been still greater
—all going to prove the great and overwhelming
importance of diversity of crops - the diversity of
capital and labor.
Cultivate less land with larger plows—turn
up your clay—it will become soil as it is exposed
to tho atmosphere, and mako you all the richer
for it.

the commissions aud exchange bills arc all lost
to tho producer in the price of his cotton, and
falls into tho hands of the shrewd sharpers of
the North and go to build up magnificent enter
prises and palatial residences.
(c.) By becoming our own shippers and our own
factors, and sending our surplus of the raw ma
terial to European markets with our own capital
and enterprise, we thereby save to tho South the
unnecessary expense of sending it via Northern
porta, and thus retain at home the freights, the
commissions and the premiums on exchange to
further increase our wealth and to expand our
enterprise, and develop the mechanical and man-
ufacfcural resources of the Southern States.
(d.) Employed in the exportation of our great
Maple we, as a necessary sequence, become our
own importers, and being wo engaged, our ships
will bear across the Atlantic a great bulk of the
foreign importation trade of the Western and
South-western States—those States being in natu
ral commercial alliance with the Southern At
lantic and Cotton States.
In discussing the two propositions together,
wc mako the question of manufacture of cotton
iu the South the one of first importance—not
that wo would havo the second delayed. If pos
sible, both should go on together—both should
be consummated at one and the samo time. —
But, in our impoverished condition and our
want of capital, we regard the manufacture of
cotton as the quickost means of creating the capi
tal necessary to consummate the second propo-
Uniou, and thereby enforce a uniformity of
prices and put down all “ ratting” concerns, and
thus elevate tho standard of journalism and
make it more useful and potent as a power in
the 6tate. There are few papers in Georgia
making even a fair per cent, on the labor and
capital invested. There is a kind of looseness
in the pecuniary management among some of
our friends which is daily reducing the profita
bleness of the printing business. Indeed, there
is a ruinous competition between publishers and
printers that will reduee the business to starva
tion and destroy the naefulnes of the press. —
This can be remedied if the press will unite and
determine otherwise.
We regret to learn, and sometimes hope rep
resentations made to us are exaggerated, that
there is a custom among a portion of the frater
nity to place such a value upon their work as to
almost xeduee the businoss of publishing to the
point of starvation. Brethren of the press,
this should not be so. The press ought to unite
in sustaining the business and make it remuner
ative by placing our respective journals upon
thoir merits as advertising mediums.
Thore is such a diversity of advertising rates
that no two journals, with tho same pretensions
as to respectability and circulation, that agree
in their prices (notwithstanding their published
rates are the samo) as we have often witnessed
in thoir bills of publishing which have been
shown to us by advertisers.
Now, to remedy these evils, wo would respect
fully propose a convention of the editors and
sition. In a few years both propositions could , . . ... „ _
be successfully solved end cotton would agaiu, I P r0 P n6t0rs of , P” 88 0 ' “ <*rly e
aud leellv. be enthroned as kino nf nnmmm™ ,la 3' “ P 068lble ' Atlanta or Macon, to take
and really, be enthroned as king of eommorcc.
M hen the people of the South learn to manu
facture their own groat staple production, be
come their own exporters of tho surplus raw
material, or fabricated goods, and appreciate
their natural commercial alliance with the Wes
tern and South-western States—thus becoming
not only their own exporters, but the exporters
andjmporfccrs for themselves and the States
named—then it will bo seen that cotton will in
deed be tho king of commerce in the true sense
of the term.
The foregoing are practical propositions and
reasonable deductions which should bo impress
ed upon the Southern mind. For the waut of
enterprise, tho Southern people have bcoa too
long, commercially, the lacquey slaves of North
ern greed. Our people have been too long
content to recline in ease and inactivity upon
the production of the great staple. By enter
prise and energy, properly and wisely directed,
we have in our soil, in our grand rivers and mag
nificent water powers; in a salubrious clime and
fruitful latitude, every requisite to become the
most powerful people on the globe. We can
produce any and every thing necessary to pro
mote the happiness and prosperity of our people.
We might enjoy the luxuries and grandeur of
the Eastern world. We might build, in time,
towering monuments of industry and enterprise,
of splendor and magnificence, that would put to
shame the boost© of fabled history. We might
stretch out the Briarian arms of railroad facilities
to every town within our bounds. Wo might
make all we need, and import but little. We
can produce all the cereals; wo have gold, iron,
minerals’, we can raise silk, produce our wines
aud liquors, sugar and syrup and the best cotton
in the world, and more of it With all these
material advantages, we can, by the aid of art,
with industry, accomplish more in the road to
wealth than any other people.
Suoh will be the results of our efforts in re
instating Cotton as Kino.

deavor to place our business upon a respectable
basis and to elevate journalism to a standard
above mere “ratting" concerns. Let the press
placo a proper estimate upon its work and cease
to work for a bare support.
In this proposition we include not merely the
weekly press, but the whole .press of the State.
We hope to see some abler pen enlargo upon

concerned. Tho most of the members of the
press have no means of living except their busi

Rufus B. Bullock as a Financier.- -By refer
ence to the Teport of the State Treasurer, Dr. N.
L. Angier, to bo found on tho first page of this
week’s Reporter, it will be seen that there is a lit
tle sum of money, amounting to thirty-five thou
sand dollars belonging to the Stato, unaccount
ed for to the said Treasurer. Whatever may be
said of Dr. Angier’s politics, he has the reputa
tion of being an honest man and a gentleman,
and it is strange that the State’s money should
be missing and he not know whither it has gone.
We understood in Atlanta, the other day, that
the Bullock is prepared to make a proper show
ing as to tho disposition made of it. Perhaps,
ke may do so; but whether to tho sattiiiiiction
of the State or not, remains to be seen.
Since writing the foregoing we have read the
reply of Bullock to the State Treasurer, and the
Treasurer’s rejoinder. Bullock’s rascality, we
are glad to know, is exposed in a manner by tho
Treasurer that will, perhaps, save the people’s
treasury from the peculations of tlieir bogus
Governor. The correspondence is rich and
spicy. The Treasurer says that Bullock’s finan
cial operations were involved in *• much mys
tery," and intimates that seventeen of the thirty-
five thousand dollars missing funds went to
liquidate the Expressman’s private bank bills.
Sony we haven’t the space and time to give the
correspondence a showing this week. It will
appear intour next issue.
The so-called Governor and tho Treasurer
both belong to the same party, and together may
solve this little financial transaction.
Manufacturing Interests at West Point.
h/litor of The La Graivje Reporter:
I have noticed that the editors of tho South ■
have * recently exhibited a laudable interest in 1
manufacturing. No oue has shown a more high-;
lv enlightened appreciation of the benefits of j
this kind of business than yoyt have. Many ex
cellent points for water pow er have been brought
to public attention.
Of one of those places too much cannot bo
said. That place is West Point. The celebrat
ed Huguley or Campbell's Island property, a few
miles South of West Point-, presents as good and
safe and cheap water power as there is in the
United States. With many, Columbus and Au
gusta, and Columbia and Tallapoosa, arc looked
upon as presenting unsurpassed advantages, but
neither ono of these places surpasses this splen
did property. I wish you could sec it and give
a description of it through your columns. There
tho Chattahoochoe river divides around Camp
bell’s Island and, for more than a mile, seems in
Separate streams, one of which furnishes a natural
canal for the erection of cotton factories, mills
or any other kind of machinery.
Already the Huguleys and Messrs. Atkinson,
Kendrick, Harris, Walker, Lanier, Darden, the
Collins und others, are erecting an extensive fac
tory, aud all the dam that is needed has beon
finished with a view for at least ten other facto
ries, or for other establishments needing to be
propelled by machinery. Tho best facilities are
being offered by these enterprising gentlemen,
I am informed, for capital, aud tho water privi
leges ore held far lower than at either of the other
celebrated points mentioned above. Already
public attention is being directed to this place.
Amongst others who have been attracted is Mr.
Parwell, a wealthy Irish gentleman, who has re
cently come from Ireland and settled there with
a view to agricultural engagements, and who, it
is thought, will become largely interested iu the
machinery in proooss of erection.
Taken altogether, this is ono of the most in
teresting places of the South.
OBSERVER.
Remarks by the Editor. —Wo have never visit
ed the locality referred to by our esteemed cor
respondent, “Observer,” bat have heard much
said in regard to tho advantages offered there
for the erection of factories, aud know that con
siderable attention is directed thereto, and that,
at some future day, there will spring up quite a
little Lowell or Manchester.
The public need not be surprised if we tell
them that in five years, or ten at the outside, a
prosperous railroad will be running from West
Point to Columbus, down the river, transporting
millions of dollars worth of the fabricated goods
from the factories on the Chattahoochee.
Such splendid water powor will not be per
mitted to remain idle. Capital will search it out
and improve its value by manufactural enter
prise, and that will necessitate the building of
the railroad, which will be completed by the
time tho factories are ready to send off their
goods.

Georgia and Alabama Manufacturing Com-
p.vny.—We ure glad to leara that a new impetus
has beon given to this enterprise. It is situated
about six mile, below West Point There are
only eleven .tocVliolders representing about one
hundred thousand dollars. This factory would
have been in operation bat for the misfortune of
one of the principal stockholders who was to
furnish the machinery—the other stockholders
erecting the building for the machinery and the
tenements for the operatives. A few days ago,
a meeting of tho stockholders was held and
twenty thousand dollars additional stock was
taken by them. The Company will now go for
ward and purchase the machinery, und opera
tions will begin before the end of the year.
The Lfoisiatoee.—This body still draws its
nine dollars per diem for each of its members,
accomplishing bat very little for the people.—
No legislation of goneral importance has yet
been matured. Wo will give all important laws
publication as soon os perfected.
Both of the United States Senators elect
from Georgia are at home—haring returned from
Washington, perhaps, disgusted with waiting
for their seats. We suppose thoy became tired
of standing—outside.
The bill to incorporate the Georgia Mu
tual Aid Company of this place, passed the sec
ond reading in the Benate on Wednesday last.
