Evidently you will answer , by saying: Let our farmers plant less : cotton and more grain. This you virtually exhort in vonr address.— But is there not some way by which iur people may be brought to a more sensible realization ef these evils, and hits be induced to act m>»re in oo"- ' -ert one with another ill bringing about a change? The writer is wel) ■ ware that it is difficult in the ex tiemeto induce farmers to act tt- :cthcr, in concert; and for this r on more than any other, they an vorse imposed upon than any els— •f people oil the green earth. IIu notwithstanding these apparent!} treat difficulties, Is not the matter of sufficient importance to enlist another tremendous effort on the part of our leaders tobring about this change? What say you, Judge Per ry, to starting the hall in Baker?— Suppose you call a mass meeting of all the farmers in Baker county to meet at Xewton on the 4th day of July next, to discuss this question, with a view of bringing about a con cert of action among the farmers?— I tell you, sir, it is a most serious matter, and one that deserves the at tention of every thinking man in the land. But some, ii may he, are read) to -ay that it is not possible to bring about such a concert of action among farmers as to produce the resuli de sired. and therefore it is needless to , make the attempt. Or, again, it may he said hy those who are regarded ns the most influential in matters per- • mining to our agricultural interest, that that have talked and exhorted already so much upon this subject 1 that they have despaired of ever ac complishing any good result. The ■ writer cannot believe that these cou- * elusions are correctly formed, for certainly there must he intelligence Alice to stop anti get a GOOD, enough among our farmers, as a class, IKE MEAL. to convince them wbeu this question is properly presented that this whole* sale plan of planting cotton to the ut ter neglect of food crops, will inevi tably prove destructive and ruinous not only to themselves as individuals, but to our country ns a whole. The writer will have more to say . upon this subject in a subsequent pa per, hut in the meantime shall look anxiously for another nrticle from Judge Perry, suggesting a remedy for the evil.-diseuased by him in his former article.

Caleb’s daughter had been married to General Otliniel. and she hail re ceived from her father as a w edding gift a farm at the south, in a sunshiny and warm region. She asked the fur ther gift of some springs of water near by so that Iter farm might be properly Irrigated, the waterbrouglit down through tunnels and aqueducts. Give me a blessing, for Thou hast given me a south land; give me also springs of water.” This nation ean say that God has given us a south land, and is a mag nificent reach of country ; hut it espe cially needs to bo irrigated from th« fountains of divine mercy, and tlii- nation ought to offer the prayer most devoutly, “Give us a blessing; foe Thou hast given us a south laud; give us also springs of water.” To meet engagements in nine of the Roiithcrn states, and to catch i. glimpse of the southern springtime and to see how tlutse regions arc re covering from the desolations of war ( started a few week- age southward ■quipped with my tuiml full of ques tieu-, and liinigr . fur information <>• ill s .rial -mil political, llioial and re I’gious subjects. Among other things I had a grave ill Georgia to visit— •lie crave of my uncle. Rev. Dr.Sam .icI K Tailing'', for twenty years tie president of Oglethorpu uuiversity After walking among the ruins o hat institution, from which mar' men weul forth to blc-s tlice.ui'i which institution was slain by tl: war, I went to see his last resting- place. When the war opcuiyl hi heart broke, and he lay down to re.- near the scene of his eminent u-elu! ne«s, his grave covered with a monu ment adorned by his own name, a-ni the suggestive scripture passage -•How beautiful upon the luoiintiiii • are the feet of him that briugctl good tidings, that puldishoth peace.” He was one of those contentporan ministers of the south, who, after elo quent words for God, anil earnest ser vice, aro resting fi-otn their labors l)r. James II. Thormvcll—his biog raphy l>y Dr. Palmer a holy enchant • ment—and Dr. Smythe, and Dr. Dun can, and Dr. Pearce, and many oth ers. lint my mission was not will the dead, but with the living. I went southward with no partisan predilec tions, t had no prejudices. 1 was re solved on coming buck to report wlmt 1 saw, whether It might meet with general favor or the condemna tion of one or both sections. I had no political record to guard or look after, since most of my ministry has been passed since the war closed.— My admiration lor the Democratic and Republican parties as mere par ties is so small that it would take McAllister’s most powerful magnify ing-glass to see anything! American politics are rotten, and that party steals the most which has the most chance! At the south all the doors of information seemed to he open. I talked with high and low, with Gov ernors of States and water-carriers, lawyers, clergymen, doctors, judges of courts, and I found that there had been a persistent and, in some cases, most outrageous misrepresentation ot tho feeling at the south by some cor respondents of some of our northern secular and religions newspapers, and by overbearing and dishonest’ men who, going from the north to the south, behaved there in a way tha: excited no friendliness. I found oiu that if a man behaves well at tin smith, he will lie treated well. There is no more need of a severe govern mental espionage in CharlcstBn and Atlanta and Augnsia than in New York and Brooklyn. The feeling tn the south to-day has been so misrep- sented that I shall devote this morn ing's sermon to the correction of tin misapprehensions, ntul to the over throw, so far ns I maybe aide, ot some of the slanders. The flrst misrepresentation in re gard to the south 1 wish to correct is that the southern people want to gei back and have reinstated negro Slav- •ry. Why, all the people are glad t. 'et rid of it. The planters told tin hat they could culture their land ,iow at less expense under the m » system of labor than under tho old A planter who had a hundred an.i -went}- slaves before the war said thin here was so much care nccessar- i looking after so many slaves, and ii loookitig after ihe aged who cou 1 ml work, and helpless cliildhoo . init tln*re was constant nnxictv ai t st expense and exhaustion.

From what 1 have seen of the oppression of female clerks in Home of the dry good** More- of the north, and from what I have neon of the oppression of some young men at the north on Miiall Halaries, which they must take or get nothing at all. I have mine to the eoneltiHioii that there are more consideration ami sympathy tor colored labor at the Houtli to-day than there are consider ation ami sympathy for Home of the employes iu some of the dry goods store* on Fulton avenue, Brooklyn ; Broadway, New York; Washington street, Boston ; Chestnut street, Phil adelphia. In all the lamDaml in all the earth there are tyrannical em ployers, and their maltreatment of subordinate*, white or black* deserves execration. But in the work of re format mil let us begin at home. Another impression in regard to the south that 1 wish to correct is, t; at they are antagonistic to having northerners come down there and settle. The whole impression given here at the north has been that if northerners go down south they are k uk 1 uxcil, kopl out of society, or get ting into society thrown out again, ami in every way mailt- tiiiconilorta- ble. l-’roin the atatea where I visited the cry conics, and I bring it to-day in their name, “Send down your cap italist*, send down vour northern fanning machine*, coma and buy our plantations, open store*, build cotton factories and riro mills—come by the hundred*, by the thousand*, hy the millions, and eoniu right way.” I declare here that that is the sentiment of the south. Of course there i* no more admiration at the smith for northern fools and north ern braggarts than there is hero. If a man going south shall put hi* valise j’. 1 i at the depot, then go up on the near est plantation and any, hy his manner or by word*: “We have comedown here to show von southern people how to farm, we w hipped yon in the war, now we are going to whip you in agriculture; I am front Boston, I am; that’s the ‘hub;’ how much you look like a man 1 shot at South moun tain ; I believe it was your brother; I marched r'glit through here ill the Fourteenth regiment of volunteers; I killed and quartered a heifer on your stoop; what a poor, miserable race of people you southerners are; didn't we give it to you? ha! ha!"— such a man as that, to say the least, will not make a favorable impres sion! And lie will not be very soon elected as elder of one of tlmir churches, and if lie should open u store he would not get many custom ers, and if sueli a man as that should get a tree and rapid ride on that part of a fence which is most easily re moved, and lie set down without much relcronco to the desirability of the landing-place, you and I would not he proiestants. If a moral man goes south, and lie exercises just or dinary common sense, lio will he wel come ; he will lie made at Home: and coming from Brooklyn, he will be just as well treated' as though he catnc from Mobile. A southern gen tleman (in the audience) nods his head, as much as to say, “That’s so.” I could give many illustrations. I givo one. There went from this church, seven or eight years ago, a member to reside in ' Charleston, South Carolina. He took no fortune. By mercantile assiduity ho toiled on up. Was he received well ? Was he treated well ? Judge for yourselves, when I tell you that a few days ago, when his lifeless body was carried into tho Episcopal church of Charles ton, where lio was a vestryman, the members of the board of "trade as- *cmldcd in the church, the children and the patrons of the orphan' asy lum of which he was a director,and a great throng of the best citizens, amid i wealth ot floral and musical tribute that the Charleston Courier describes as making an occasion almost unpar alleled iu the history of private obse quies. Why, this side of heaven there i* not a more hospitable people than the people of the south, and I bring von from those states which I hail the pleasure of visiting, I bring yon to-day an invitation for immigration that way. The south is to rival the west as an opening field for Ameri- ■an enterprise. Horace Grcely’s ad- ice ot “Go West” i« to have its ad- lemla in “Go South.” The first ava- im-.ltc of population that way will uake their fortunes. It is a national absurdity that such i large proportion of tho cotton of the south, at great expense, should >0 sent north in order to lie trnns- o-red into useful fabrics. The few 'ictnries at the south are the pioneers ■ f innumerable spindle* which are -ooii to begin the liiiui of the grand iiarch on the banks of the Savannah mil tho Appalnchicola and the Tom- dgbee. There i* Georgia, with its '3.000 square miles; there is Alaha- .ia, with its 50.722 square miles; hero isSmlh Carolina, with its 34,000 'qiiare mile-; there is North Camil la, with its 50,704 square miles, and • ilier states, not 10 per cent of their esnur-es yet developed. When will ■ or over-crowded population in those lorlhoru cities take tho wings of the morning and fly to tliosu regions where they may have room to turn ■ round, anil plenty of place to take a full breath and expand, and be nia»- ters of their own eorn-flclds, their own rice swamps, their own cotton plantations, their own lutnbor for ests ?

The death-rate in Georgia just equals *ho death-rale in Michigan. Tho death- rate in Georgia, according to tho number of the population, is less than the death-rate in Connecticut and Maine, fining either west or south yon will probably have one acclimat ing attack. It will only lie a differ ent stylo of shako! There is no more need that. England, Ireland,and Scot land want room or want bread. I rejoice that there is such a vast pop ulation coming from foreign lands hero—21,508 people arriving in New York last month, March, to make tlmir residence in this country. And, let me tell yon, nianv of them the very best people id Europe. What do I mean by “best?” I moan Indus trious und moral. Five thousand people last Tuesday In and around and they work faj- heller than the northern men who come Imre, be cause the eliinatc seems better adapt ed to the colored people, who will on a summer day, at their nooning, go out and lie down to enjoy llm mn.” My friends, all this talk about tlm , dragging of the rivers and the lakes j of the south to haul nsharo negroes murdered and flung in. while it may he believed by many at Ihe north, is a falsehood so absurd it is hardly lit to mention In a religious assemblage. The white people of the south feel their depundeuca on tha dark paopla Castle Garden wailing for transpor tation. While you put on extra trains to carry them west over the I'enii-yl vanin anil the Erie anil the New York Central, put on extra trains an the Bnllimore ntul Ohio, and all the great routes to Charleston mid Atlunta and Chattanoogn, that they may go south. Vast opportu nities arc opening. Stop cursing tho south, and atop Iviug a limit the south, and go siiiith ami test the cordiality of their welcome, and their resources of miiio and iihiiitation and forest.— Wliv, my friends, that is the wav thi* national difficulty is to he HOttlcii. Tens of thousand* of young men from the north, moral voting men, intelli gent young inuii from the north, arc to go south and make their residence there, and they will invito the daughters of the south to help them build houses amid the magnolias anil orange groves,mid thelrchildren will lie half north anil half south, half South Carolina and half Vermont, half Georgia and half New York,and then to divide tho country you will have to divide the children with smile such sword a* Solomon sarcastically proposed for the division of a con- tested child, and tho northern father will say to the southern mother: “Come, my dear, let us put our politi cal fond to sleep in this eradle!” The statement so long rampant at the north that^smithcrn people rto not want moral and industrious people to roino from Ihe north to the south—I brand that statement as a falsehood gotten up anil kepi up for lmse polit ical purposes. Another wrong impression in re gard to tho south that I want to ror- rei-t is that tho people there nru me tazouistic to the United States gov- •'lunient. Those people submitted to tlm settlement of the sword certain questions, and now they are submis sive to tho decision. There is no tight in them. We talk about the fire-eater* of the south. If they eat fire, they have a private platter of coals in n private room. I sat al many of their tables, anil I saw no such style of diet. Neither could 1 find a spoon nr a fork or a knife that seemed to have been used in eating Are. Why, sirs, they are tho most placid people you ever saw. Some ot them, their property all gone, at forty or sixty years of age, starting life with one arm mill one foot and one eye, tho missing members sacrificed in battle. It is simply miraculous mid the work of the Loud Almighty that tlioso people are as amiable anil as cheerful as they aro, und it is das tardly mean in us to keep speaking of them as waspish, and acrid anil as- turnine. and malevolent. I have traveled ns much a* most people have in this anil oilier lands, anil 1 am yet to find a more nflable, more delicately sympathetic, more whole-souled peo ple than tho people of the south. The people of tho south are loyal to-day. anil if a foreign foe should try to set its foot oil this country by way of in timidation or conquest, I believe the forces of McClellan and Beauregard, Bragg and Geary, Grant anil Leo, would conic shoulder to shoulder the blue anil tho gray and the guns of Forts Hamilton and Picketts and Suintcr would join in one great cho rus of thunder mid flame. The fact is that in this country we have had a liig family fight, mid if n neighbor should como iu and try to interfere, you know what the result would be. Husband anil wife in contest, the one with a cane mid tho other with a broomstick —let an intcrmeddler comc in and he gets all the advan tage of both cane and broomstick.— I have sometimes thought that the north and the south will never utir del-stand each other until the ap proach of a common euemy makes a common cause. God forbid that that day should come. But if foreign des potism thinks there is in our govern ment no cohesion, no centripetal force, they have only to test it. In stead of the thirteen original colonies, wc own from ocean to ocean; but that is no sign of lack of government al grip. By steam and electricity the government is under more speed and easy control now than it was at the start. At tho foundation of the gov ernment it took an official document two weeks to cross the country; now it takes two minutes. San Fraucisco and Galveston and Des Moines arc, to-day nearer Washington than Rich mond was then. There never has been a day of more thorough consol idation and unity than now. Would that the people all appreciated it.— You see tho whole Impression of my southern journey was ono of encour agement. The great masses of the people aro right. If half a dozen politicians at the north and half a dozen politicians at the south would only consent to die, there would be no inure sectional acrimony. You see it is a moro case for undertakers! If they will bury out pf sight those few oemngogues we will pay all the expensos of catafalque and epitaph, and of a brass hand to play the “IIo- guo’s March!” In time, lindor Goil, this will all be settled. The genera tion that follows us will not share in the antipathies anil the L-cllicosespIrit of thoir ancestors, nnd they will stand lu amazement at tho state of things which made the national cemeteries at Murfreesboro and Gettysburg and Richmond an awful possibility. Week before last I took a carriage and wound up Lookout mountain.— Up, up, up! Standing tlioro on tho tip-top rock. I saw five states of tho union. Scenes stupendous und over whelming! One almost is disposed to take off his hat in (ho presence id what sneutH to lie the grandest pros pect of this continent. There is Mis sionary riilgc, tho licacli against which the red billows of federal and confederate courage surged anil lirilko. There aro the Blue moun tains of North and South Carolina. With strain of vision, there is Kcn- tuckv, there is. Virginia. At our feot&hHttaiiongn and Chickamaiiga, tho pronunciation of which proper nnmns will thrill ages to come with thought* of valor and desperation and agony. Looking each way and any way front tho top of that mountain, earthworks, earthworks—the beanti ful Tennessno winding through the valley, making loiter “S” after letter “S,” as if that letter stood for shame, that l>rothora should have gone into massacre with each other, while God and nations looked on. I have stood on Mount Washington, anil on tlm Sierra Nevada*, anil on tho Alps, hut 1 nover saw *o far ns from Lookout molttitaln. Why, sirs, I looked liai-k auventeen years, and I saw rolling up tho sldo of that mountain tho smoke of Hooker’s storming party. while tho foundations of eternal rock pinked with the cannonade. Four years of internecine strife seemed to cotne back, ninl without any chrono logical order I saw tho events: Nor folk tiavy-ynrd on fire, Fori Sumter on fire, Charleston on fire. Uhatubei-s- bnrg on flic, Columbia. South Caro lina. on fire, Itli-liniond on lire. And I saw Ellsworth fn'l, and l.yon full, and McPherson full, and lli-hnp Polk fall, ntul Htoin-wall .laeksiin fall. And I aaw hundred* of grave-lrenehcs afterwards cut into two great gn-lie* across the land, the ono for tin- dead men of the mirth, the other for the (lend men of the south. And my em us well as my eye was quickened, and I heard tho tramp, tramp or enlisting armies, nnd I heard tlm explosion of miuos and gunpowder magazines anil tho crash of fortification wall*, and the “swamp angel,” mill the groan of dying hosts fallingaeross tlm pulse less heart of other dying hunt*: and 1 saw still further nut, and I -aw mi the banks of tho Penobscot, and tin- Oregon, mid the Ohio, and llm llnd- soii, mill tlm Roanoke, mid the Yazoo, and tlm Alabama, widowhood, and orphanage and childlessness—nine exhausted in grief and others stark mad, and I said : “Enough, enough have I seen into the past from the top of Lookout mountain. O! God. show mo the future.” And Mamling there, it was revealed to me. And I looked out, anil 1 saw great popula tion* from the north moving south, and great populations from the south moving north, nml I found that their footsteps obliterated the hoof-iiiHrks of tho wnr-rlmrgcra. And I saw the angel of tlm Lord of Hosts standing in the national cemeteries, trumpet iu baud, as much as tn snv, “I will wake these soldiers from their long en campment.” Anil I looked, mill 1 saw such snowy harvests of cotton, anil such golden harvests of corn, a* I hnd never imagined: and I found that tlm earthworks were down, and the guuearriages down mid the war- hnrrneks were all down ; and I saw tho rivers winding through tlm val ley, making letter “S” after letter “S” —no moro “S” for shame, but “S” for salvation. And I saw that all the weapons of war were turned Into ag ricultural implements, I was alarm ed, anil I said, “Is this safe?” And Mantling there on the tip-top rock of Lookout mountain, I was so ncai- Imavcn that 1 hoard two voices which some way slipped from the gate, anil they sang : “Nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.” And I recognized the two voices.
