WHAT jS NOBLE?
What is noble'! To inlierit
Wealth. estate, and proud degree ?
Th--re must be some oilier merit
Higher yet than these for me '
Something greater far must enter
Into life's majestic spun:
Fitted to create and centre
Tine nobility in mail !
What is noble ? Tis the finer
Portion of our mind and beart,
Linked,to something still diviner
Than mere language can impart :
Ever prompting—ever seeing •
tSouie improvement vet to plan ;
To uplift our fellow being.
And, tike ntau, to feel for man!
What is noble ? Is the sabre
Nobler than the hmnau spade ?
There’s a dignity in labor
Truer than e’er pomp arrayed !
He who seeks the mind's improvement,
Aids the world, in aiding mind ;
Every great, commanding movement
Serves not one—but all mankind.
O’er the forge’s beat and ashes,
O’er the engine’s iron head,
Where the rapid shuttle flashes,
And the spindle whirls its thread;
There is labor lowly tending
Each requirement of the hour,
There is genius still extending
Science—and its world of power!
'Mid the dust and speed and clamor
Of the loom-shed and tbe mill.
'Midst, the ciank of wheel and hammer
Great tesults are growing still!
Though, too otr., by Fashion's creatures.
Work and workers may be blamed,
Commerce need not nido its features !
Industry is not ashamed.
What is tiobrc.'. T11:it which places
Tiutb in its enfranchised will:
Leaving step's, like angel ‘races,’
That mankind may follow still !
Even though scorn’s malignant glances
Prove him poorest of his clan,
lie's the noble,—who advances
Freedom and the cause of man!
Agririilloral Hrport.
Carsonvilee, Ga m )
June 22, 1668. \
At h Hireling the “Carsonville
Democmtic Club awl Agricultural .So
ciety, held on the 20th June, 186S, llte
oiit’Wifig committee repot is were
unaiiiUiously adopted :
Agriculture, according U> the usual
acceptance of I fie term, signifies the
art of cultivating ibe soil, it is hardly
necessary lo say taut this is ihe true
meaning of the expression ; yet how
few of"those who would promply give
the above definition appear to have
» auv definite idea of ail ihat is involved
in the winds “cultivating the soil?” A
soil that’s “cultivated,” is more or less
deeply plowed, according to the situa
tion. It is mellow, free from stumps
and large stones; is dry and free fiom
hurtful weeds. Vet in this our loved
Souih, how few fields are to he seen
which have been brought into lhis con
dition? Even it we suppose that we
have our farm thoroughly cultivated in
the foregoing manner, is it sufficient?
No—the ai l of cultivating the soil in
volves something beyond Lhis. It in
volves a perfect knowledge of the na
ture of the various crops which he cul
tivates. This he must lirst possess be
fore he can determine which oi these
crops his land is best calculated to pro
duce. When this knowledge has been
obtained, he must se.t himself lo work
to increase J he quantity grown per acre ;
lor on this quantity depends his profits.
It cosis but little, if any more to culti
vate an acre o! land for a crop of forty
bushels than one for fen bushels. The
main end with most farmers appears u>
be to obtain the greatest possible yield
of produce with die least possible out-
lav of money. This is certainly a short
sighted policy, tor the person who fol
lows it is precisely like the man in the
fable who killed the goose that daily
laid him a golden egg, and like that
foolish man ihe farmer will soon find
that he has destroyed the source of his
riches in u mo*l foolish and short-sight
ed manner. Tbe good farmer, then,
desires to grow large crops at the least
necessary cost; hut, at the same lime,
never forgets that it is the best economy
to keep his land in good condition and
improving in ferlility each year. In
order to do this, he must do more tlmn
merely plough, plant and reap; he
must study and think also. He must
learn the nat ure of the different crops
he wishes to raise, for those crops differ
very materially. He must understand
the cause: of the difference. One field
he finds to vary much in its nature
from another. A certain crop grows
well here and fails there. Ate these
things accidental, or can he discover
the reasons ? in adding certain kinds
of manures lo the soil, he finds diverse
effects upon Ins ciop. Here is another
study for him. His animals thrive on
some suits of food, and derive little
benefit from others. What tire the
properties upon which these effects de
pend ? All this may be said to involve
too much study for a working man. 1
reply that he need not learn the minute
details of scientifice research and dis
covery. It is enough lor him to begin
with the leading principles that have
been established With these he will
lie enabled to work more intelligently
than ever before, and to goon continu
ally adding i<> his knowledge and pow
er, for knowledge is power, everywhere.
Agriculluie gives more employment to
capital and labor in the Slate of Geor
gia than all other pursuiis combined.
It will be seen that we are strictly and
almost exlusivelv an agricultural peo
ple. Vet nowhere on the earth, in any
civilized community’, do we discover
the same want of system, the same
deep seated ignorance, and the same
policy of certain ultimate impoverish
ment and ruin, as exists among our
selves. This statement is not made
with exclusive reference to our systefn
of farming to-day, but with general
reference to the system which has pre
vailed from the first settlement of this
country to the present time, which has
been a system formed in ruin, blight,
and negligence. Our once fair and
bounteous land has, under this system
of taking everything from the soil and
returning nothing thereto, brought us
to the verge of starvation. Who can
say when, or where, this ever aug
menting exhaustion of the natural re
source of the soil of our beloved State
is U> end short of one enlire ruin ? Ev
ery years lillagti rentiers it more diffi- j
cult to soil anything of its j
{(timer fertility.!" In case no restitution
is contemplated! and the present sys
tem of planting Is to continue, what a
humiliating and inglorious destiny must
not the Sunriv South finally reach.—
Isolated cultivations are powerless to
change a system and policy that has
grown up with tfce growth of six or
eight generations!v hose uniform prac
tice has bea^t^ike everything from
die virgin nothing buck.
Communities ca| jtpply a remedy and
change this ruinous policy. Commit
tees by close concert ol action can in
augurate a new order of tilings in our
agricultural interests and telicve us
from the eulbairassmeuls and unalter
able drudgery of our present course ol
living, a^MMBffvcrl the great impend- j
ing evils vmiich are embodied in the
consuminauon of this, our present sys
tem of fanning. Let us lor a moment
consider the present condition of our
farms and landed proprietors with the
view of ascertaining, it possible, \\ here
we are leiid^M^^ We find ourselves
emerged fromIFlong and ruinous war!
of nearly tive years, during which time |
our farming interest had pined and ;
dwindled into ^umparalive insignifi- j
ounce. Our f'njift buildings, fences,!
stock, implet^ffis,^! wasted, decayed, j
comparatively ruinatl. Had our sys- |
teni of labor not b\m overturned, 1
think 1 don’t mistake the case, m say
ing that it would have icquired ten
years lor us, in the rnote fortunate sec
tions of the .State to have recovered the
degree of prosperity and thrift which
obtained at the beginning of this ruth
less war. As it is, we find ourselves
(feptived of our properly in slaves—no
capital to operate upon, and no labor
to be employed for love or money.—
With the illy-directed energy of tles-
| pair, we seize upon the remnants of
our wasted estates, and during nearly
three, long years of wntry and vexation,
we have wasted and lost what was left
us in friiitlcs efforts lo rebuild our ruin
ed fortunes, anti in trying to utilize the
system of free negro labor which our
enemies have given us, and which has
not only brought us to the verge ol beg
gary, L»ut which now promises lo grow
into an element ol discord, ruinous to
our social and political status, and em
bodying, as its emblem of existence,
the torch and the assassin’s knife. We
see—looking at our situation from the
point ol view which promises most—
nothing but decay and ruin. A spe
cies of dry-rot pervades the land, and,
as fast as tune and the depreciations of
negroes can accomplish it, we are going
to utter nothingness. Under these cir
cumstances, does it not behoove us to
take hold upon our situation and make
the most of it, by upturning, mot and
branch, this ruinous system which has
fastened itself upon us—this system,
both as to labor and cultivation, and
In' substituting another more in har
mony with our interests and situation,
check our downward course, and placp
ourselves upon a foundation of solidity ?
It may be asked how this can lie done?
The reply is nalutal and ready; it is
this: Let this community lake effective
steps to control tbe negro labor that it
employs, and il this cannot be done—
if the “slick breaks before bending,”
cast il from you as worthless. Adopt
a system of close, concentrated farming,
and high manuring, of small grain rais
ing, and of cattle and stock raising.—
Let no negro who will not harmonize
wish these views live in the district.—
The richest, happiest and most per
manently prosperous people in the
United States are such as live in that
bell of country running through the
St a c of Kentucky, known as the
“grass country.” All nature is crying
out for the privilege of working for the
owners of the soil. If the district of
Carsonville should not have a npgro in
it lor five years, there would he brought
about a state of quiet, of peace, of free
dom from apprehension, of substantial
prosperity, of"good living, antCincrcas-
mg wealth, which none of ua have ever
dreamed of; and which will never come
so long as free negro, labor is mainly,
or to any appreciable degree, depend
ed upon for our support, or for any
other purpose involving their citizen
ship and residence amon" us.
In view whereof, be it resolved, 1st.
Thai a thorough and radical change of
our present system of tanning and ru
ral economy ami the introduction of
some other and different system is im
peratively demanded by our present
sit uation and the promises of the f uture.
2. That free negro labor, as it now
exists among us, is utterly worthless,
as a rule, and that if it cannot be made
more profitable during the present than
in preceding years, we will not give
further employment or patronage to it,
and that we will, to the best of our en
deavors, lawfully and peacefully rid
ourselves and our districts of all free
negroes.
3. That all law-abiding, honest and
industrious persons, of whatsoever col
or, craft or occupation, save such as
are regarded as our ’public enemies,
and known in political parlance as Rad
icals, are cordially invited into our
midst.
