CONSTITUTIONALIST ON FUSION.
The Augusta Constitutionalist sees none of
the wonderful benefits to flow from fusion,
which the sagacity of Mr. Hill has discovered.—
That paper says:
“We are not at all anxious for the Union, for
we believe that the issue of immediate secession
or delay for an overt act, will certainly arise up
on the election of Lincoln, and the people will
take sides on that issue according to their pas
sions, fears, or desires, with little regard for
present party lines.
Besides, & fusion which looks to the possible
election of any one of three candidates, can have
little influence in obtaining for us those thirty
two northern electoral votes, which all the
South united never can make up.
And again:—
Our natural affiliation is with the secession
Democrats, we being one in feeling save upon
that shadowy shade of protection, and limited
Territorial rights, which the Senate declared a
chimera, by its solemn vote, and which the
Toombs amendment reduced to th?approbation
of even Pugh himself.
SUSPENSION TALKED OF.
'1 he Charleston papers are agitating the pro
ject of a suspension of specie payment by the
banks of that State, under authority of an act
■ of the Legislature. The Afercury, commenting
upon a suggestion to this effect by a correspon
dent, says :
“Our correspondent suggests that our Legis
lature, in case the State secedes from the Un
ion, should authorise a suspension of specie
payments by the banks. One of the first ex
pedients to spread confusion and distress over
the State, undoubtedly, may- be a run upon the
banks for specie by northern capitalists. AVe
trust no Carolinian would be guilty of such un
patriotic conduct.”
Fire in Opeleika.—Nine stores were burned
in Opeleika, Alabama, last Friday night.
THE STATE FAIR.
AVe clip the two following paragraphs from
the catalogue of things noted by our contem
porary, the Atlanta American :
“One of the most enchanting features of the
Fair, is the appearance of the chaming Miss
W** i: *, of Henry county, in a dress of Copper
as and Blue Stripe Homespun, which was
woven on a hand loom, and made in the fash
ionable full and flow-ing style, and worn with a
hoop. She was the observed of all observers,
and as she gracefully swept from point to point,
all eyes followed her. AVe commend her praise
worthy and patriotically independent example
to those who will soon be the Matrons of the
land.
Mr. Pugh, of Macon, has some most excel
lent specimens of Photograph, colored in Oil.
We noticed, also, a Photograph of the Georgia
Buildings, and a Church Building, including a
considerable portion of the Street on which
they are situated. Prominent on the front of
the first named Building we observe the sign
of our clever contemporary of the “Telegraph.”
There is another Photograph of a very large
portion of Macon, which includes the rear (ata
distance) of the same Church edifice.”

For the Daily Telegraph.
New York, Oct. 23, 1860.
Mr. Editor:—One of the grandest scenes
ever witnessed in the streets of New York has
just, been enacted. It was announced in the
newspapers that to-night, Tuesday, there would
be a grand Union torch-light procession, to be
composed of the friends of Douglas, Bell and
Breckinnge--of all those opposed to the elec
tion of Lincoln. Great preparations were made
for a most brilliant display. After dark, nu
merous processions from the different divisions
of the city were seen marching to the appointed
place of rendezvous. Thousands of torches flick
ered in the air, and innumerable transparencies
shone brightly above the heads of the countless
throng. The procession was to be formed on
Broadway near the Astor House. For two
hours before the time appointed for commen
cing the march, the whole of Broadway was be
ing filled; and so completely was it filled that
it was utterly impossible either to advance or
recede. The entire street was so crowded that
not a single vehicle could be driven along it—
the carriages, omnibuses and all filling the back
streets. It seemed as though the entire inhab
itants of the city were assembled to witness this
gnat Union movement
Several banners, with the portraits of Doug
las, Bell and Breckinridge accompanied the pro
cession, beneath which were inscribed senti
ments for the preservation and maintenance of
the I nion. Bearing lamps of various forms
and colors, according to their divisions, with a
red, blue or white covering in the shape of a
cape—only extending much lower—thrown over
their shoulders, and wearing glazed caps; keep
ing time with the music while inarching ten or
fifteen abreast; this mighty throng presented
quite a romantic, quite a soldier-like appear
ance. A vast number of fireworks of all des
criptions constantly shooting into the air added
other beauties to this sublime spectacle. Many
horsemen, besides the’ marshals, and many per
sons in carriages accr>.\ t ~,ie i the procession.
Numerous and significant were the mot
toes, devices and burlesques caricatured to an
unprecedented degree. In a low vehicle, drawn
by a donkey two and a half feet high, body
five feet long and ears nearly the same, sat a
negro and a down east “ greener,” each con
fusedly glancing at the other—the donkey the
better looking of the two—l should have said
the donkey the best looking of the three.
High up in a large wagon was the representa
tion of a complete blacksmith shop—the bel
lows at work, cinders flying, the iron is taken
from the fire and laid upon the anvil, while de
scending hammers, wielded by brawny arms
scatter here and there the glowing sparks.—
Here comes another ponderous car; a large
tough rail is stretched upon it, while persever
ing Abe, assisted by a friend or neighbor of his,
vainly endeavors to force apart the unyielding
timber. How long the procession was I am
not able to say, but standing in a front window
of the Fifth Avenue House I watched it as it
was passing for nearly three hours and a half.
It was one the greatest demonstrations ever
witnessed in New York.
To morrow night a mass meeting, so an
nounced, will be held in Cooper Institute in I
support of the Union electoral ticket. Hon.
Herschel A*. Johnson, who arrived here to-day
and is stopping at the Fifth Avenue House,
Gen. Leslie Coombs, of Ky., and Hon. Chas.
J. Helm, of Ky., will address the meeting.
This letter is hastily written, for I have on
ly a little time left to get it in the office before
the mail closes. The bells are now sounding
the alarm of tire.
Yours, REBTHER.
Correspondence of the Telegraph
Augusta, Ga., Oct. 20th, 1860.
Hon. Howell Cobb, Perry, Houston Co.,
Ga.— Dear Sir:— Accompanying this I send
j you my report to the Cotton Planters’ Conven
, tion of Georgia. This report upon the Agri
i cultural Resources of Georgia, embraces:
Investigations upon the chemical constitu
tion, geological distribution, agricultural and
commercial value of the marls, shell limestone
primitive and older fossiliferous limestone, oys
j ter shells, gas lime, joint clay, kavlin clay.
1 Discussions of the theory of the action and
! mode of application of calcareous manures.
Ancient and modern testimonies to the val
ue of calcareous manures—the testimony of
Pliny, who wrote as early as A. D. 77, is giv
en in full, together with the testimony of Dr.
Mortin, of England, Mr. Ruffin, of A’irginia,
Senator Hammond, of South Carolina, and oth
er English and American agriculturists.
Investigations upon the chemical constitu
tion, adulteration and agricultural value of
commercial manures.
Discussions of the relative values of the com
mercial and native fertilizers.
Investigations upon the chemical constitu
tion, agricultural value and hygenic relations of
the waters of Georgia.
Investigations upon the chemical constitu.
tion and agricultural value of swamp deposits,
vegetable mould, deposits of rivers, cotton seed,
stable and cow pen manures.
A simple, inexpensive and effective method
of preserving the valuable gaseous and soluble
constituents of stable and cowpen manure.
A simple, but effective plan, for the regener
ation of the exhausted lands of Georgia.
Containing sirty original analysis of the
marls, limestones, clays, waters, river deposits
and cotton seed of Georgia, and of commercial
manures. One thousand analysis of marls,
limestones, soils, commercial and native ma
nures, by eminent American and European
chemists.
I have called the attention of the Cotton
Planters’ Convention, first, to the inexhausti
ble beds of marl and limestone of Georgia, be
cause it is the almost universal experience of
agriculturists, that lime is the basis of good
husbandry ; secondly, to the chemical compo
sition and adulterations of commercial manures,
because there appears to be a growing disposi
tion with planters to use them as a source of
of fertility to their exhausted lands, several
hundred thousand dollars worth of commercial
manures having been purchased by the plan
ters of Georgia during the past year; and
thirdly, to the native sources of organic and
inorganic components necessary to restore the
equilibrium, and preserve the land in a perma
nent state of fertility, because the use of lime
without manure impoverishes the soil, and be
cause we believe that any system of agriculture
which relies upon sources other than these
furnished by the State, must necessarily prove
a failure.
Ihe necessity of such examinations is fully
established by the following facts :
1. The rate of the decennial increase of the
white population of Georgia, has, with the ex
ception of a single period, progressively di
minished from 1790 to 1860; thus the decen
nial increase from 1790 to 1800 was 92 per
cent., whilst the decennial increase from 1850
to 1860 was only 11 per cent.
2. Ihe rate of the decennial increase of the
free colored population of Georgia, has with
slight variations progressively decreased from
1790 to 1860.
3. The rate of the decennial increase of the
slave population, has, with the exception of
one period, progressively diminished from 1790
to 1860.
4th. ’1 he rate of the decennial increase of the
entire population of Georgia, has progressively
diminished from 1790 to 1860.
sth. The population of the first settled coun
ties in the south-eastern portion of the State,
has remained stationary in most of the coun
ties for the last 15 years ; in some there has
been a slight increase, whilst in others there
has been an actual decrease of population.
6th. The population of the earliest settled
counties in Middle Georgia, has, in most cases,
progressively decreased for many years past.
7th. The population of the newly settled
counties of middle and northern Georgia, not
withstanding its rapid increase in the first
years of the settlement of this section of the
State, is now becoming stationery in some
counties, and in a few counties has already
commenced to decrease.
8. The counties of the north-western por
tion of the State, the geological formations of
which are more recent than Middle Georgia,
and older than those of the cretaceous an ter
tiary formations of Georgia, have been but re
cently settled, and in most cases are rapidly
increasing, and it is therefore at the present
time impossible to say what the limits of the
population will be, especially as the soil con
tains more lime than any other portion of Geor
gia, and appears to be more inexhaustible un
der culture.
9. The counties of the south-western portion
of the State, embracing the cretaceous and more
recent eocene lime formations, like the counties
of north-western Georgia, have been but recent
ly settled, and are rapidly increasing by emi
gration from the older counties of the State;
and it is impossible, at the present time to as
sign the probable limits of the population with
any degree of certainty. AVe may, however,
from a careful review of the rapid increase of
population, and from a careful consideration of
the resources of the soil of north-western and
south-western Georgia, affirm, that under the
same exhausting and reckless system ol agricul
ture, which has been pursued m the older coun
ties, the population of these portions of the
State will, in the course of fifty years, reach its
culminating point, and the tide will then flow
to the rich lands of newer States.
10. The exports and the imports of Georgia
have not increased in a corresponding manner
with the population.
11. The increase in the yield of cotton in
Georgia, has not corresponded with the increase
of population.
If we examine these facts collectively, and en
deavor to determine their causes, we will find that
the main cause which is of far greater impor
tance than emigration, changes of climate and
MONDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 29, 1860.
seasons, the value of produce and other causes,
is that system of agriculture which takes for
granted, that soils are inexhaustible, and which
has regarded the interests alone of the acting
generation.
The lands of Middle Georgia, which at the
time of their first settlement, were clothed with
a dense and magnificent forest, and covered
with the accummulated mould of thousands of
years, and which yielded most luxuriant and
profitable crops of cotton and corn to the early
cultivators, who imagined that the soils vvould
last forever without either rest or manure, and
without any attention to bill-side ditching and
plowing, now present the monotonous and drea
ry spectacle of bald, barren, red clay hills, mar
red by deep furrows and yawning red gullies.
The same result has follow’ed the same sys
tem of culture in the southern portions of Geor
gia. The effects are not so patent to the eye,
because the country is level, and because the
rivers afford inexhaustible supplies of organic
and mineral matters to the rice plantations.
It remains to be demonstrated, whether or
' not, the fruitful plains of South-western Geor
gia, and the fertile vallies of North-western
Georgia, will show the same fate.
The great questions to be solved by the agri
culturists of Georgia, are : How can the exhaust
ed lands be restored to their primitive state of
fertility? How can the new lands of North
western, Northern and South-western Georgia,
be preserved in their original state of fertility ?
Are the native resources of the Slate adequate
to the regeneration of her exhausted lands, and
the permanent preservation of the fertility of
her new lands?
Upon the determination of these questions,
will depend the future agricultural, commercial
and political progress and importance of Geor
gia. If they are ignored by the agriculturists,
certain it is, that the lands will steadily be ex
hausted—their value will steadily diminish—
the population will as steadily emigrate to more
fertile regions, and our State will not attain to
that high political and commercial position as
signed her in Providence, by her soil, her cli
mate and her productions.
These sir, are the facts which have incited
me to action—these are the questions which 1
have labored to solve. Believing that my ap
pointment as Chemist of the Cotton Planters’
Convention, was made by responsible, honora
ble and patriotic men, who desired ray labors to
be directed to the development of the agricul
tural resources of the State, and to the protec
tion of the planters from frauds which are car
ried un both in Europe and America, in the
manufacture of commercial manures, I have,
during the past spring, summer and fall, ex
erted myself to the utmost, in my bodily
stength—abandoned all private business, re
fraining from visiting even once, my planting
interest in the southern portion of the State,
and endeavored, both in the field and labrato
ry and in the printing office, to develope the
agricultural resources of Georgia, and to re
press the frauds in commercial manures, by
every means in my power.
Both in public and in private, and especially
from the press, have I met with continued and
powerful opposition, and thus far my labors
have only involved me in personal and pecu
niary difficulties. I found the press closed in
almost every case, ag.iinst my reports, and my
reports, when published, were answered in
most eases, only by the attacks of filthy for
eigners to our soil—natives of northern dung
hills, who live in manure and fight with it.—
Under these circumstances, I judged that the
only true and independent course, was to pub
lish my report in a substantial form, and place
it at the disposal of the Association. This re
port then, which I now submit to you and
through you to the Cotton Planters’ Conven- '
tion of Georgia, embodies the results of my la- !
hors since my appointment as Chemist.
It has cost me three thousand dollars. In
this estimate I do not include my time; I sim
ply include the actual expenses; for from the
first inception of the work, to the present time,
the expenses of printing—the expenses and la
bors of chemical research and field explora
tions—the expenses of maintaining an expen
sive labratory, and stocking it with expensive
apparatus and chemicals, has fallen upon the
private resources of the chemist of the Conven- 1
tion.
It is but just to say, that I have been, and j
am still greatly embarrassed by these heavy !
expenses.
The report is at the disposal of the Conven
tion. Will the Convention sustain my attempts
to carry out the spirit and direction of their
own appointment? Will they accept this re
port and defray the expenses ? I shall ask no ,
more than the actual expenses; the Cotton 1
Planters’ Convention and the State of Georgia
will be welcome to my time and labor, if they
think that it comports with their dignity to ac- i
cept of them.
A’ery respectfully, yours,
JOSEPH JONES.
MEETING TN CRAWFORD.
The Crawford county Executive Committee
—Breckinridge and Lane—met in Knoxville,
October 25, 1860, and was called to order by
the chairman.
Present, Jacob Lowe, James J. Ray, Thomas
J. Simmons, Dr. William S. Ogletree, Dr. A. AV.
Peurifoy, Dr. E. Peacock. Absent Dr. J. C.
Harvey, Col. G. R. Hunter.
AVe have viewed with but little concern, a
proposition to unite the Bell, Douglas and
Breckinridge tickets. AVhile we fully appre
ciate the motives, to-wit: A united South
which suggested a fusion, we must decline it
for the following reasons : 'Hie Breckenridge
ticket is based upon the principles of equality
of States, which is declared in three proposi
tions. First, that every person in every section
has a constitutional right to move to the
common territories with every species of prop
erty which he may possess. 2nd, That neither
Congress nor a Territorial Legislature has the
power to impair this right. 3rd, That such per
son is entitled to the protection of the Govern’
ment in the enjoyment of this right.
The plain, equitable proposition —the very
essence ot our Constitution, which underlies,
and is the bases of our Union, we had hoped
would securdFhe universal approval of the South,
and stands unharmed against all shocks which
jt might receive, and did receive the unqualified ,
sanction of the party which now supports Bell,
j in its Convention in Milledgeville, which sent
delegates to the Baltimore Convention to nomi
nate candidates for President and Vice-Presi
dent; but so it is we have been doomed to dis
i ■ appointment. Ihe Bell party when it met in
i Baltimore, ignored the principles, and in lieu
I thereof did content itself with barely declaring
f they are for the Union, the Constitution and en
-1 forcement of the law. In this, there is no enun-
•iation which can identify them with theßreck
l inridge party, nor any thing which denies the
1 principles of the Black Republican party, which
I it is the object of the fusion to defeat, for it is
- the object of this party, (Black Republicans,) to
maintain the Union by force of arms if necessa
, ry. The Constitution they not only pledge
themselves to support, but every member of
the party elected to office takes an oath to do so,
( and even Lincoln, if elected, will swear to sup
» port it. The laws they also swear to support,
, and he will swear to execute them as a duty un
der the Constitution, but we know of no way
by which any party can be compelled to con
tinue in force, and not repeal the Fugitive
( Slave law or any other law.
The Douglas party occupies a position not of
indefinite neutrality as to enable them in any
_ contingency as may the Bell party to act and
f fuse with the Breckinridge party, but it is in
the field in oppositioi.
I he third proposition of the Breckinridge tick
.) et before set out and seceded from is now at
, war with the said principles. AVe think that
I this party can, with no show of consistency, fuse
I with us without a surrender of their principles,
and if they intend doing this we would suggest
that the best plan would be to withdraw their
. ticket and vote for ours.
AA e despair of any good being done by fusion
at this late hour, and cannot hope that a fusion
in Georgia will defeat Lincoln, as the vote of
Georgia will be cast against him anyhow, but
. think the proper time to unite the South will be
, after the election and before the inauguration of
Lincoln if he should be elected. lt r e ought
then, to take counsel at once and resolve to be a
unit upon whatever course our State may adopt.
AA e will be untramtneled by party politics and
j party men, and can go into Convention with
minds directed to the single question, what is best
to be done, and if our State determine updn
non intercourse, direct trade, retaliatory law, se
cession, home industry and putting our State in
complete defence or any of the many means of
resistance which wisdom and prudence may sug
gest, let us stand by it to a man and treat every
one, as an enemy to the State, who refuses obe
dience to the State’s mandates. Therefore be it
Resolved, That we believe a fusion as propos
ed unnecessary, improperand unprofitable.
2. That w e will recommend to our citizens to
j vote the Breckinridge ticket unadulterated.
. 3. That we most earnestly desire the union
j of the South, and especially all parties in Geor
j gia for the sake of the South, and will do every
thing we can to bring about so desirable a posi
tion.
4. That in the event of Lincoln’s election we
propose that the people of the State meet in
('onvention to advise the course to be pursued ;
that then is the proper time to unite, and that
we will abide by and carry out the mandate of
our State.
5. That we protest against any action of our
State Executive Committee which would result
in the selection and putting out a fusion ticket,
as it is so late that in many places there w’ould
be four tickets instead of three, to wit: The
Fusion ticket, the Breckinridge ticket, the Bell
ticket and the Douglas ticket, creating instead
of allaying confusion.
6. That these proceedings be published in
the Daily Macon Telegraph.

Editors of the Virginia Sentinel:
In the early part of last week 1 left here for
the North. I was previously a strong Douglas
man, and had always, and upon all occasions,
supported his claims. I arrived in Philadel
phia on the evening of the election for Govern
i or there, and was present at the closing of the
i polls. AVhen it was clearly ascertained that
Curtin was elected, almost all the Douglas and
Bell and Everett men repaired to the Black Re
publican head-quarters, on Chestnut street, be
tween 6th and 7th, and joined in the great AVide
Awake procession, which took place on that
night. The Douglas men, when interrogated
wliy they left their ranks, answered that they
had been in favor of Douglas, but as he stood
no chance, they were for Douglas or Lincoln,
they did not care which. A great many of the
Bell party said the same thing. Upon hearing
these things, 1 concluded that neither Douglas

that we should unanimously vote for Breckin
ridge. w. B. L.
