country ol over eight millions in the

eighteen and a halt millions will be in

of over ninety-one per cent, since 1S60.

We see from some of our exchanges*
that a number of our citizens are leaving
the Sta*-' as tv y think to better their con
dition. Never a greater mistake, taking
everything into consideration. It is true
that Texas has more territory than Geor
gia, and perhaps lands are cheaper, but
with all the advantages that our State
holds out in her railroad facilities, and her
commercial advantages in such cities as
Savanuah, Brunswick, Augusta, Macon,
Atlanta, Columbus, Albany and Rome,
there need be no fear but that fair prices
can be obtaiued for everything that is pro
duced or manufactured.
It is with peculiar pride and gratifica
tion that we see our grand old State occu
pying such an envialile position among
her sister States, and attracting the atten
tion of capitalists from all sections of the
Uuion. We feel that there is a tide in our
affairs, and if taken at the flood, will lead
ou to fortune. There can be no better
opening to make money than is presented
by our State. With an area of some 37,-
000,000 of square acres, and about 32,-
000,000 that can be put into cultivation,

A LEIF FROM HISTORY,
The Baltimore Gazette, in an arti-
: cle upon the folly ofattempting to force
j a resumption of specie payments, calls
j attention to lhe fact that in 1817, after
twenty years of suspension, and when
‘ ; gold had fallen lo less than one per cent
j premium, resumption was determined
i upon in England. In some parts of the
j country bullion had been so abundant
that country bankers found it difficult
I to dispose of their gold. Yet so great
was tlie rush lor coin, the moment that
resumption was attempted, and so dan
gerously were tlie business interests of
the country disturbed, that on the re
port of Mr. Peel, the House in two
nights passed a hill for the relief of the
banks. Finally, resumption was post
poned till 1823. When left lo itself,
unhampered by hasty legislation, the
bank resumed specie payments as soon
as the credit of the Slate had been

As soon as she had done this, she

the wonderful advantages our seasons give
them for making two crops on the same
piece of land the same year. As to the
mode of cultivating the soil, we know that
there will be a revolution in less than
three years, and the present plan will be
laughed at as the essence of old fogy no-,
tions and ideas ; and land that under the
old system of cultivation yielded a bag of
cotton to three acres, will give to the
planter a bag for every acre tbat is at all
cultivated properly ; and wliero we once
got 10 bushels of eoru to the acre, we will
look for at least 30 or 40 as a sure calcu
lation.
There is no necessity for leaving old
Georgia with the expectation of finding a
better country or one that will hold out eu*»
perior inducements—it cannot be found on
this continent. We are not liable to the
epidemics that sweep over the valley of
the Mississippi and that carry to the grave
thousands of the inhabitant every year ;
nor are we subjected to the overflows that
desolate plantations and bring poverty to
the owners. In point of health and cli
mate, wo are peculiarly blessed, blessed
as but few States are bless when we take
into consideration our agricultural and
mineral resources, .and our manufacturing
advantages when w’e shall turn our
attention more fully in that direction.
The controlling reason with us why we
desire our people born upon the soil to re
main in the State is : Tbat wo want a
homogeneity of sentiment,of feeling among
ourselves as Georgians, nud we can only
have it by our people remaining upon
the soil and not giving it np to a foreign
element that cannot and will not syrupa'
thiso cordially with us. There is much in
being born npon the soil; it gives character,
pride and love of home and people, and
when a Georgian clasps the hands of a
Georgian, be knows tbat there is a com
mon sentiment and a pride of feeling and
a unity of interest tbat makes them one iu
feeling and thought; that they have a
common ancoBtry aud a common cause.—
Not so, however, with a mixed and hetero
geneous mass ; having no local pride, no
common history, no common ancestry, aud
no common custoniq. There can bo no
common tie to bind them in the strong
bonds of common friendship. A people
or State to be really strojig, prepared
and ready to resist any outside assault
must have a homogeneity of feeling aud
sentiment, aud then there cau be no room
for jealousies, fears or hates.
If our people will remain upon the soil
wu cau ever impress any elemout that may
come in among us, hut if we surrender the
land to strangers and foreigners then we
will loose our identity and become like
onto them. Our idea can readily be per
ceived.and the point we wish to make plain,
is :—Let us be a homogeneous peo
ple with a common sentiment, and let ns
retain our lands for our children, not fore
ing them to leave the State of their na
tivity because we have foolishly sold our
lands cheap to get a population regardless
of future results.
Those who may come in among us
should be treated kindly, but we are op
posed to begging or sending for immigra
tion just to have a population. Wisdom
says let your State grow naturally,and not
force a growth that will in the end per-
perhaps. cause regret to our children.
Our habits are our second nature, and are
as strong if not stronger, if not stronger
than our original. As practice makes per-
feet, so a habit long indulged, becomes al.
most irresistable ; it silences reason,laughg
at resolution, and mocks judgment. He

Ay, and Religion too, may strive in vaiu
gia. Gov. Bullock has reached that point
in his political career, and as a i -Execu
tive officer, that he does not hesitate or
scruple at any means to accomplish his
ends.
He'does uot hesitate to slander or mis
represent; nor does he hesitate to handle
public funds without warrant. Instead of
endeavoring to make himself a name and
character for honesty and integrity, he, in
his political madness and unwarranted use
of the public funds, is sinking himself
deeper and deeper in disgrace aud infamy, j
He is conscious that he can make no dc- j
fence before the Legislature for his many
acts, political aud Executive, aid he feels j
that if the Legislature is not as corrupt
as himself, he will be impeached,
and that quickly, when it again assembles.
Hence his great desire to reseat the ne
groes and save himself, aud if not in that
way, influence Congress to appoint him
Provisional Governor, and thus save him
self. Conscious of guilt and wrong, he
scruples not at any means to save himself
from impeachment.
We hope however, that there are enough
men, Republicans, so called in Georgia,
who will have the energy and patriotism
to expose Gov. Bullock at Washington,
and explain the motives and causes for
his great anxiety to have the State remand
ed back to a Provisional government. We
call upon Messrs. Hill, Akerman, Parrott, j Fowler
Saffold aud others, to go to Washington ;
and meet Bullock face to face and expose ;
