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. G. P. CUL\ T ERHOUSE, Chairman. E. Peacock, Secretary. —_—> MORE AVITJIDRAAVALS. The Richmond Enquirer of the 22d, says: A. B. Hays, Esq., who has been stumping Bote tourt county, Virginia, and that section of the i State, for Bell and Everett, has come out for Breckinridge, believing it now to be the duty of all Southern men to discard party and go for country. The Alexandria (A r a.) Sentinel says : The following comes to us from a very respec [ table gentlemen—personally known to us—a professional man of Prince AVilliam county, who ’ authorizes us to pledge his personal responsi j bility, to his correctness : Brentsville, Prince William Co., A’a., / October 14 th, 1860. ( 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 or Bell would do for the South. Especially, as I did not hear of a single Breckinridge man giv ing up his ticket, I concluded that no Southern man could vote for’either Douglas or Bell, but that we should unanimously vote for Breckin ridge. w.
