q'o those persons who, returning from
NeW York and after three or four days at
^ in rough weather, arrive, of Tybee,

c ,, tn hi Jirma, have to check all fond an-
lic ipated pleasure of taking a stroll on
mother earth, and liave their hearts sink
v ; t liin them as does the anchor in Tybee
as they sigh over six hours of tedious
waiting. I can offer rny sympathies as well
jc consolation. Nothing of the kind at
j; rU uswick. The largest class of our steam
s will speed into port without let or hin-
:,. an ce. Then we have the Brunswick &
Ybany Railroad. True, it is uot as near
completion as road to Macon, but still
jg a road and one that we are proud oh
ji, e road bed is now ready for the track
Xo.9, Gulf road. One cargo of iron
Isas arrived and others are daily expected,
jbe amount of work done on this road in
i eSS than two months is truly astonishing,
iin the 9th of August the Engineer and
superintendent began to organize their
force. By the 20th they were prepared
j or work, and on the 20th September the
roa ,l had been graded 59 miles, more than
half the cross-ties had been cut and
delivered on the road, several bridges were
erected, and the wrnrk had progressed with
5iicb rapidity that a large number of hands
bad to be discharged in cousequence of
the great expense ot transporting proviso
ions to them. As soon as the track is
laid, to near the point of leaving off, a new
force will be put on. This company is not
by any means a bogus concern, as our en
emies choose to call it. They are men of
r ea!, solid worth and wealth—men who
are noted for their sagacity and great bu
siness talent. They fofesee the import
ance of this road in connection with the
Southern Pacific, and are taking hold of
it in earnest. This road is a great enter
prise, and is the only route which will se
cure to Georgia the terminus of the South
era Pacific on her shores. Georgia will
vet be proud of this important road, and
her people through the entire State will
reap benefit from it. The “Hub” and the
Central may as well cry peccavi, for in
spite of all they can do, the completion of
this road to Eufaula, inside of two years,
is a fixed fact.
Then, we have a beautiful site for a city.
Nature has been lavish in her gifts to
Biuuswiek. Live oak trees ornament the
greater portion of the city. It is laid off
after the plan of Savannah. Our waters
abound with fish, oysters, clams, shrimp,
and turtle. Wild deer and turkeys are
killed daily, in an hour’s ride or sail from
the city. Living is cheap ; health of the
city excellent. There lias never beeu a
case of cholera or yellow fever here since
its settlement, more than one hundred and
thirty years ago.
As I have already spun this letter into

an account of some few occupations which
offer great inducements to energetic men,
which will return handsome profits to tliose
who engage in them.
Yours truly, BRUNSWICK.
COMMUNICATED.
The “Labor Conyenlion.”
A quasi-official call is out for a colored
man’s “Labor Convention” to be held in
Macon, on the 19th inst.
The call with the exhibit, setting forth
the purposes of the Convention, are de
serving of public comment. They involve
the entire labor system of the State, and
constituting, as that system does, the only
medium of intercourse and sympathy be
tween the races, its agitation promises to
distract and inflame much beyoud any
good that can possibly accrue from the
Convention.
The CoDveution called, proposes to in
augurate what is known as a “Corporation
Labor Association,” to embrace every farm
laborer throughout the State.
“Corporation Labor Associations” have,
from time to time, been formed in other
sections. They have rarely ventured in
their plans to effect more, than regulate
action in some particular and limited
branch of Mechanics or Art, and still his
tory proves them, almost without excep
tion, to Lave'been failures. They have
tended in their operations rather to defeat
than to subserve the ends sought in their
organization. This has been because the
principle upon which all such associations
is based, is fundamentally wroDg, and op
posed to the general rules necessarily pre
serving all business.
Ail wealth originates in manual labor.
Trades, Professions and the like can only
exist and thrive where there is a substra
tum of society eugaged iu manual toil.
The inference can be easily drawu, that
from the dependence of all kinds of bus
'cess upon manual labor, there will be a
general predisposition tcJ especially favor
a nd encourage that kind of work. This is
a fact. All wealth has its startiug in the
8o 'li and springs forth in response to the
sturdy strokes of the yeomaury of the
country who cultivate it; and there i3 no
c la:>3 of population so generally indepen
dent, wealthy and happy as the agricullu-
'*1 portion, and tlie man who understands
’he art of growing wheat or cotton, has a
"ealth of knowledge, which practically
developed upon the “millions of acres that
Want hands” is certain of fortune and hap
piness.
AH “co-oporation associations,” of which
Re writer has any knowledge, have each
l' e cu confined to some subdivision branch
°f some general busiuess : For instance—
engravers of silver, makers of certain kinds
"f shoes, See. The work being somowhat
exclusive and the number employed few,
a UQ tfoun high price of' wages beeA
thought practicable to be forced upon tbe
employers.
L there is ever justifiable cause for these
associations, it would be found in some
such cases, ; and if ever likely to succeed*
it would also be in such cases; hut. as
-tated above, even these have proven un
fruitful ol good.
1 he idea is preposterous as well as ri
diculous that a “Co" operation Labor As
sociation” can be formed-in connection
with farming operations, aud to an extent
to rule the prices &c. of labor throughout
a State.
If, among those whose peculiar genius
adapting for certain kinds of work, bring
ing that labor always iu high demand,
these Associations cannot prevail, ho w can
an Association of farm laborers, endowed
with no peculiar genius, and plentiful of
supply, expect to effect any thing? And,
if among the class above referred to, pos
sessing tact, intelligence and every sur
rounding favoring success, they have re
sulted in such failures, how cau a farming
class, ignorant and undisciplined, and with
nothing but tbe greatest odds against them,
expect to succeed ?
But let us look into this thing. It is
impracticable. 1st. A knowledge of the
history of this class of Associations, con
sidered with the enterprise now designed
to bo undertaken, will obscure every ray
of Lope in its success.
2d. Tbe plauteis own the land. Tbe
prices they get for their products are those
made up iu Northern and Trans Atlantic
markets. If they should employ labor at
| tlie exorbitant rates mentioned by the
Chairman, they, tbe planters, could not
make the price of their products to cor
respond. Between tbe nether millstones
of exorbitant cost of production and a low
market price for products—such as they
have small power to influence—they would
be ground to pow'der. Tbe plauter, can,
on average, and will, if he is so forced, live
upon one-tenth the labor now employed.
In such a case, the planter lives, nine tenths
of the colored men starve.
3d. The price to be asked for labor is
“thirty dollars per month and board.” This, ■
comparatively with the price of labor in
other States, exceeds by fifty per cent, that
labor. Such amove would call forth coun
ter associations among p roperty holders,
doing away with all parties belonging to
such association by the employment of la
bor from abroad. Then, what becomes of
tbe colored man ?
4th. The plan contemplated makes no
distinction in the price of laborers. The
poorest laborer—a member of the Associa
tion—demands tbe prico stipulated by tbe
Association for tbe best laborer. In con-
| sequence, the honest, hard working labor
er must do enough more than tbe stipulat
ed price for labor to make up for tbe un
profitableness of some lazy, eye-serving,
low-lived brother laborer. Enterprising
colored men will not, aud should not, be
held back from getting money their own
labor entitles them to, by being obliged to
spend part of their wages to support a
pack of lazy loungers in bar rooms and on
the streets. Any one can see that this is
the effect of the Association.
Tho average worth of men belonging to
the Association must be thirty dollars per
month, and as all in the State are to be
invited to become members, who does not
see that the fully three fourths of the pop
ulation that is not worth, and through la
ziness almost entirely, tendollars per month,
must be practically supported by tbe reals
ly smart and useful. And wliatevef the
price per month the Convention may fix,
the operation will be just as stated above :
the lazy will be indulged in their laziness
by the extra work of the industrious.
But this scheme is uot only impractica
ble, its conception is insanity, and is mali-
cious.
1st. Suppose, if it is at all .possible, that
the price, of labor be made to rule high-
This will iuduco laborers from abroad to
come in—tbe Irish, Dutch, Chinese. &c.—
Prices will thus be brought down to where
they uow are not only, but by tbe abund
ance of labor thus secured, will be brought
still lower.
2d. With labor high, home products will
be made high in price. If the planter has
to pay more to produce cotton, lie must get
I more for it, ami tbe cloth when made up
I and bought by tbe colored mau must bear
a larger price. Who gains in this opera
tion ( Verily, not the colored man.
3d. This wild scheme of making uni
, form tlie price of farm labor throughout the
. State, would result in not one half the
I members of the Association not getting
positions, and vagabondage would ensue,
j heaping full our jails, &c., to support which
the industrious colored man must be taxed.
4th. Murders would be multiplied in the
j State. Members of the Association not
! able to get work would think it because
other colored ineu, not being members of
tbe Convention, were working for old wa
ges. This would incite to murder, the up.
employed against the employed. Again,
the whites who now are rendering an ac
count, as they say, of the manner of work
on the part of the colored men, would be
incited still more by this move and to more
1 egregious slaughter. Can auy one deny
this ?
Labor will regulate itself. The indus
trious laborer in tbe State to-day, be he
white or colored, can get all the work he
wants and at remunerative prices. The
I shiftless aud lazy could if they would re
form, get all they might want of work. If
they won’t work, tho law properly makes
| them pay for their living iu a chain gang
| or penitentialy
i What is wanted, and all that is wanted,
injustice in matter of collecting and enjoying
i the fruits tf labor. And wo secure this
end only in the direction of purifying the
Courts, our Judges and Juries.
We shall be surprised if this whole la-
i bor movement does uot prove to have been
gotten up by a few half-broken dowu poli
ticians wbo, wishing some bobby to ride
iuto former popularity and influence have
seized this “taking” thing to get before
tbe people “to set themselves right” by
explaining their loyalty aud dear love to
and for tbe colored people of tbe State.
