fljt Paitn yrtss. City Printer-Official Paper LARGEST CITY* CIRCILATION. AUQUftTA, t»A.i FntDAY M0RN1NG...........Ju1y 2T, 18*6 “ The Land ia Left.” Tho RVgWt Rev. AVtg*. M. Martin, Bishop, of Natchitoches, lias written an interesting letter in encouragement of the Louisiana Mechanical and Agricul tural Fair Association, whose grounds ace now in preparation for the grand opening on the 20th of November. He writes to Dr. Plough, Sr., agent of the Association for that part of the State : I take great pleasure, and feel honored, ia adding my name to those of men cither high in station, or, still better, high in the esteem ot their follow-citizens, to recom mend to public favor tho praiseworthy efforts of Dr- A. L. Plough to arouse the energy of the Southern people to agricultu ral pursuits. Awful has been the ruin brought upon us by sword, fire and floods. Gone, never to return, is the once excessive wealth of the largo owners of land. Hut the laud is not gone; and a land btessod by a kind Providence with more natural wealth whoever knew on the face of the earth 1 'What does it want but stout mimii, willing hoarts, strong arms, earnest, patient, ener getic labor, to make the Southern people the most prosperons and, withal, the most inde pendent of all nations; and, I may say, the most moral and respectod ? Too loDg has the very namo of labor been associated with the idea of servility. Slavery has dis appeared in tho revolutionary turmoil. Labor shall remain till tho end of time— not only as a necessity tor tho multitude, but as a duty for all, and as the most pre cious source from which shall flow, onrea tncdiocritat, sterling probity Bnd true hap piness of families. Away, then, with de spondency, away with sluggishness, away with old prejudice against manual labor. Let us welcome, duly honor, and, in all possible ways, assist such men as Dr. A. L. Plough, who, being actuated by tho enthu siasm of generous patriotism, como forward to point out to the present generation hon est and toilsome industry as the sole means of retrieving our losses and laying for pos terity the solid foundation of true and last ing independence. What a powerful appeal to the energy and enterprise of the Southern people is contained in the above eloquent extract. “Gone,” indeed, “never to return, is the once excessive wealth of the large owners of laud. Bat the land is not gone!" The land is left, and what now wanted is capital, stout hearts, and willing hands, to make the South pros perous and independent. We want the soil properly cultivated; we want all the modern improvements of agriculture introduced here ; we want a thrifty and industrious population : we want manu factures established ; we want our mines opened and worked ; we warn mil rondo built; we want our rivers uavigated ; we want direct communication with European and other ports. In fact, our wants are many, but our resources great. Make proper use of these resources, and our wants can all be supplied, our pros perity secured, and our independence es tablished. To do this, as we have said, requires capital, energy, and enterprise; and it also requires unity of action. Calls have been made for Conventions of at Macon, Ga., and Nashville, Tenn. Let them meet, by ail means, and act with promptness and energy. In Alabama a call fur an Improvement Convention, to meet at Auburn in that State, has been issued. Let that Convention meet without fail and go to work in earnest. In other places a proper spirit of enterprise is being developed which is most cheering and encouraging. Let it be properly emulated every where. The Cartersville (Ga.) Express had the following: Wo have heretofore given a large spaco in our columns to tho advocacy of bouthern manufactures, as the only sure way to the commercial independence and material pros pirity of our section. Hitherto we have re alized nothing hut the ashes of disappointed h >pe. But at last the bread we buvo cast u waters returns, and we are happy to amounce to tho world, that a few enter prising gentlemen have inaugurated a increment looking to the erection of a cot ton factory on the site of McOlatchy’s mill, just below the Railroad bridge on the Etowah river. Parties who have examined the location pronounce it eminently adapted to the ends in view, and we hopo soon to hear the whirr of the “spinning jenny” upon the banks of the Etowah. If so, then the 40 to 74 per cent, dividends that enrich our compatriots of Massachusetts will re ceive a welcome lodgment in the long emp ty purse of our own people. May some good genius stimulate our people to take hold of this enterprise, and push it forward to a successful conclusion. We are authorized to call a meeting of all those who feel an interest in such matters, to come in Car tersville on the Ist Tuesday in August, and would urge the fullest possible attendance. All these indications of popular inter est in the great works of Southern re demption are peculiarly gratifying. But they must become more general, more enlarged. Let us get up Mechanical and Agricultural Fair Associations in Georgia, 03 well as in Louisiana and Kentucky. Let us sustain them pro perly, and we shall soon see the benefits arising from our enterprising spirit. What say the farmers, mechanics,and capitalists of Richmond county to the organization of such an Association ? Why cannot they set the ball in mo tion? We have every facility tor it here, and can, if our people will, make it suc cessful and grandly useful. We make tho motion) who will second it? It need* hut a start and a little energy, and determination on thb pnrt ot a few en terprising people. Others will join in it afterwards. We shall do all we can to aid in Its inauguration. The War in Europe. The Herald's dispatches from Lon don are dated the 12th, and report no practical result to the negotiations for an armistice yet apparent. Annexed are THB ITALIAN TKHMS. The London Times of July 11—the latest paper—contains the following an nouncement : “We have received from an authentic source the following state ment ns to the conditions attached by the Italian Government to the proposi tion of the Emperor Napoleon : 1. If Venetia is ceded to the Emperor Napoleon, the final transfer must he made by Austria, hampered by no eon dilions with regard to Rome. 2. That tho question of the district of Trent should be recognized as one to he discussed. The Italians demand immediate pos session of two fortresses, of which one must be Peschiera. NAPOLKON’s PLAN OK SETTLEMENT. The Paris l’atrie of July 11 says:— The negotiations for an armistice have been delayed by the necessity of taking into simultaneous consideration both the conditions of the armistice and the pre liminary basis of a future treaty of {>eace, if Prussia wishes to know before mnd the advantages which will beydefi nitelv assured to her. Prince Napoleon was present at the council of Ministers held to day. The Paris Picssc of July 11, in the evening, publishes an article signed by M. Cucheval Charegny, in which it says: Yesterday, after the audience giveu by the Emperor to Prince Von Renss, a meeting was held at the Tuileries in his Majesty’s presence. Prince Metternich and Baron Von Oltenbnrg represent Austria, nwd Von Goltz and Prince Von Keuss, Prussia. M. Drouyn de Lliuys communicated the views of France, and drew up a re port of the proceedings at the meeting. The following are the bases of the negotiations suggested by Frauee, and communicated to Count Von Goltz and Prince Metternich, by whom they have been transmitted to Berlin and Vienna : Tho Germanic Confederation to ho dissolved and another confederation to be established, of which neither Prussia nor Austria should form part. No territorial cession to be demanded of Austria. The abandonment by the latter of her rights on the Duchies, and to replace the war indemnity at first demanded by Prussia. Prussia to incorporate Schleswig-Hol stein, llesse Cassel, Hesse Darmstadt and Brunswick. The population of the Prussian kingdom would thereby be raised to 25,000,01)0 —tnc niitu*. to stitute the western frontier of Prussia, and the province between the Rhine and Meuse to serve as an indemnity to the sovereigns dispossessed by the war. An exchange of territory to take place between Baden and Bavaria, which would give the former nearly the whole of the Rhenish Palatinate; Saxony, Hanover and the Duchies of Saxe to conclude military conventions with Prus sia. The inhabitants of Landau to choose whether they shall belong to France or Baden, and population of the valley of the Sarre to choose between France and the new Rhenish sovereigns. J. Edgar Thompson Col. L. A. Scott, and oilier leading railroad engineers, whose roads centre at or pass through St. Louis, have endorsed a plan for tunnel ling the Mississippi River at St. Louis instead of bridging at that point, Consent is asked of Congress to construct the work which, it is estimated can be completed in three years, at a cost not to exceed three million dollars. If consent is given, the work will be proceeded with at once. • —A few nights since, Mr, Fremont Hadley, who resides in Washington, placed a pillow ia the window of his room in the second story, and soon went to sleep with his head in the window. About 12 o’clock he awoke and found himself on the pavement; but how he got there, or how long he had been there, was more than he could tell. The next morning he complained of being sore, but thought he would be all right in a few days. —The Washington statue has been received at the Virginia Military Institute and will be re-inaugurated on the 10th of September, on which occasion Ex-Gov, Letcher will, at the request of the Board, deliver an address’ the remains of Gen. Richard Henry Lee (Light Horse Harry,) will be removed to and rc-interrud at the Institute at the same time. —Pigeons in immense numbers have congregated in Stephen Township, C. W., and are reaving their young. They selected a piece of woods about two miles square, and every tree seems to he filled with their nests. Sportsmen have made unrelenting war upon them without appearing to diminish their numbers. —The following gentlemen have been selected as the members ot the Commis sion to revise and codify the statutes of the United States, in accordance with the act of Congress recently passed : Caleb Cushing, of Massachusetts ; Judge Wm.
