DAILY TELEGRAPH.
From Southwestern Georgia.
men BANDS VS. POOR RAjnDS and guano again
SPRING CREEK.
Sleepy Hollow, April 27, 1869
Editon Telegraph : In yonr paper of the 2d,
we submitted some figures comparing the rela
tive profits of fanning npon rich and poor land
which has evidently “set to thinking” some of
yonr readers, and generated an editorial con
trasting the disadvantage of the Mississippi
swamps with the domestic advantages of a Mid
dle Georgia forth. We seek no controversy with
yonr sanctum, nor do we covet a discussion with
the Knights of the Guano Trade ; we wish simply
to ventilate some views, and let them pass for
what they are worth, perhaps of interest to those
about to engage in agriculture, as a safe, agree
able and rapid means of acquiring fortune.
To the young man, seeking a farm, whose re
sources are limited, we say, avoid alluvial 1™*.
as eaWully as you do poor; either wiU intro
duce you to the Sheriff. To the middle aged
capitalist, wearied with the bustle and disap-
Ipointments of trade, whose idea of country life
is a sort of confused phantasmagoria of shade
and fruit, mingled with visions of a youth with
digproporftbned wings and scanty apparel, re
clining upon a bed of gaudy flowers, blowing A
hom to sundry wistful sheep, we modestly sug
gest that he may spend the evening of his life
anM his money, endeavoring to make two blades
of grass flonrish, where nature, thus far, has
only contrived to. muster one. ’Tib a grand
idea, that of sending ships thousands of miles to
the barren gnano islands, for bird-offal to feed
famished soil here in Georgia, and the.proposi-
lion assumes something of stupendous grandeur
when it is considered that this costly excrement
of foreign fowl is to be applied to land within
half a day'a travel of probably the most highly
favored country in the South.
lint, in truth, we write rather for the thrifty,
enterprising farmer, whose purse is limited to
three or four thousand dollars, who has a family
growing more expensive each year; whose sons,
two or three years hence, must be sent off to
school nnd college, else denied the advantages
of education; men who feel the responsibilities
of their surroundings and understand that what
ever they are to accomplish in life, mnst be done
at onco, and that “every blow mnst tell,” and
who are utterly unprepared, either by training
or tastes for any other avocation than that of a
fanner. To such (and there are many) we be-
liovo our figures and suggestions are not devoid
of interest.
Wo, therefore, recur briefly to onr article of
tho second, and purpose to pursue the subject.
Wc there exhibited the fact that a farm, on the
intensive system, required a permanent invest
ment of
Threo hundred acres Land ......... $1,500

And an annual expenditure of
Labor.

.Manure

400
$3,900
$2,700
GOO
4,650
$7,940
That is to say, to buy, equip and ion through
the first year such a farm requires a cash capital
of $11,830. 'Whereas on Spring Creek (we con
fine ourselves to that locality simply because
we are familiar with the capacity of the soil) tho
permanent investment to accomplish the same
results would be
Three hundred acres Land...... $1,300
Right Mules. ... L®®®
Plows, etc
300
$3,400
And an annual outlay of
Labor ...1...........V $1,800
Mnlo feed
$2,280
In other words the form can be bought and
carried through the first year for $3,680.
With these facts before us, we have reached
these conclusions: that there is a balance in-fa
vor of land naturally fertile and “fresh ’ of at
least fifty per cent.; that it is the part of pru
dence for such parties os we speak of to select
such lands, rather than to rely npon guano deal
ers; and that within the next few years such lands
will rapidly advance in market price, while those
less favored will be neglected; that, labor will
gravitate towards such lands, because those who
i own them are able to pay the highest price for
lit; the money the intensive farmer expends for
lunnnre, Spring Creek can give to labor, and
labor,-Nike capital, will go where it commands
[the greatest return.
There is a wide-spread error, which has
worked to the detriment of this, probably the
uost desirable farming country in the South,
Hvhieh should he corrected. It is generally be
lieved that the rieh lands of Southwest Georgia
too unhealthy to be planted successfully,
Txnd report, like your editorial, ranks them
| with the alluviums of the Mississippi and Nile,
whereas, the fact is, tho statistics of our physi-
cinns show that wo suffer less from malaria
than the good people of Columbus, Albany,
Americus or Savannah, while diseases other
than those connected with the liver are almost! ions
unknown. It is true, before the war, when
large tracts of low lands were being cleared and
drained, necessarily much sickness prevailed,
but of late 3 oars, the most dreaded plantations
[ have lost their danger, and many planters re
side npon their places with, impunity. Certain
[ it is, for seven months of the year, those creek
lands are, and always have been regarded as
j healthy as any part of the State, and within a
few miles of these rich lands occurs a high pine
ridge, upon which bilious affections are un-
| known, and here it is theso creek planters pass
the summer. ■ ■
* The scope of country embraced by tho term
“spring creek” as the jihraso runs here, is capa
ble of produeing-20,01 >0 bales of cotton for the
i next twenty years, nnd as no part of this cotton
must he exported to pay for Gnano, should the
.Staple hold its present market, here will bo for
ty millions added to the general wealth pf
State, and we have thought it propc-i to say this
much in favor of onr section, the more espeeia -
ly as it lies immediately npon tlic lino of the
proposed road from Columbus to Buinbridgc.
It is evident that so long as our financial
affairs are in their present condition, capit.d
cannot be safely invested in mercantile pur
suits. Thfcre is little or no security about any
s except farming. Suppose, for example,
^foreign war should be forced upon us, we say
because no one will for ’an instant sus
pect our bondholders of hankering after one.

farm produce of all kinds is always scarce and
any country whoso political condition is
tal invested in farming good lands will yield a
rger return than if used in any other legiti
mate business; that it is eminently prudent for
our people to employ every dollar of their money
where it will yield the best return of cotton,'
corn, etc.; that there is more clear money, as
compared with the capital reqnired, to be earned

any other business known in the South. M.
Tlic Georgia Baptist Convention.
Correspondence of the Telegraph. ]
This body met on Friday the 23d, at Cuthbert,
and was composed of about seventy-five mem-
D ers , a mnch smaller number than usually at
tends. Bev. P. H. MeU, D. D., was elected
President; Bev. G.E.McCall, of HawkinsviUe,
was elected Clerk, nnd Bev. N. A. Bailey, of
Albany, was elected Assistant Clerk.
The main object of this Convention is to
unite the efforts of the Georgia Baptists in sup
port of Foreign and Domestic missions, and
in the sustenance of Mercer University, at Pen-
field, Ga. The Convention has not a particle of
judicial or Legislative power over the Baptist
Churches of Georgia, and presumes to act only
as an advisory body.
It received various reports which are accepted
and adopted, if agreeable to the members of the
body; such as a Be port on the State of Beligion
in the State, on Temperance, on Deceased Min-
istera^on Education, on Missions; but the main
report is that on Mercer University, which be
longs to the Convention, and which has a large
endowment which is also the property of the
Convention. The Convention electa each year
a Board of Trustees, to watch over the Univer
sity, provide a competent faculty, and take care
of its funds. The funds, however, are mostly
managed by the very efficient and long-time
treasurer of the Convention, T. J. Burney, Esq.,
of Madison, Ga. From the report of the Treas
urer, we learn that the Convention owns cosh
assets to tho amount of $27,240 54, consisting of

This Convention is distinct from (hat soon to
meet in the city of Macon. This was a State
Convention ; that will consist of Baptists from
tm parts of the South, and other portions 'of
tiie United States, and is called the Southern
Baptist Convention. It meets annually at the
place that may have been previously appointed.
It is expected that a very large and respectable
body of men will compose the coming Conven
tion, and it is hoped that the citizens of Macon
by ° cordial welcome and generous hospitality)
will sustain the character vouched for the city)
when the Convention was invited to hold its
session at thig place. jj

to the north oonidor, and halt before the door
of room No. 20. With hand on knob, I pause—
nervous tremors start from. my chignon, and
shiver and shake all the way down into tho very
heels of my French boots. What terrible sight
maybe on tother side of that awe-inspiring
door. Pictures of the historic strong-minded
fill our imaginations; grim and fearful ancient
maidens in scant gowns, with a limited quanti
ty of faded hair twisted in a handle on the top
of their polls; obstinate and uncompromising
damsels, gifted with an,insane desire to do
away with that very unnecessary animal—man.
I tremble some more, then summon a show of
courage and enter the Revolution office. Noth
ing so very terrible, after alL The first face
that salutes our timid vision is a youthful one
fresh, smiling, bright-eyed, auburn-crowned.—
It belongs to one of the employes of the estab
lishment, and its owner conducts me to a com
fortable sofa, then trips lightly through a little
door opposite to inform Miss Anthony of my
presence.
I glance about me. What editorial bliss is
this ? Actally a neat carpet on the floor, a sub.
stantial round table covered by a pretty cloth,'
engravings and photographs hung thickly over
the clear, white walls. Here is Lncretia Mott's
saintly face, beautiful with eternal youth; there
Mary Wollstonecraft, looking into futurity with
earnest eyes. In an arched recess are shelves
containing books and piles of pamphlets, speeches
and essays—Stuart Mill, Wendell Phillips, Hig-
ginson, Curtis. Two screens, covered with stri
ped calico, extend across the front side of the
room, enclosing a little space around the two
large windows which give light, air, and glimpses
of the park to the office. Glancing round the cor
ner we see the junior editor seated at his desk
by the further window. It is Parker Pillsbnry,
one of the apostles of freedom. The sad, be
nevolent face is bent over apile of manuscripts,
and the slender, brown hand is hard at work.
Opposite is another desk—long, and low,
and broad—covered with brown wrappers
and mailing books. Close against the screen
stands ^et another, at which sits tho book-keep-
Tat&’.V, $162,21360
The income for tho year ending July 1, 18G9,
is estimated at $10,535,00, and tho estimated
expenses, $10,336.00, including all tho college
expenses.
Mercer University is at present in a flourish
ing and growing condition, under the able man
agement of Dr. H. H. Tucker. It has a vary
able Faculty, composed of Bev. H. H. Tucker,
D. D., President, and Professor of Theology
and -Intellectual and Moral Philosophy; S. P.
Sanford, A. M., Professor of Mathemntics and
Astronomy; J. E. Willett, A. M., M. D., Pro
fessor of Natural Philosophy ; Wm. ■ G. Wood-
fin, A. M., Professor of Ancient Languages; :
Bev. J. J. Brantly, D. D., Professor of Belles
Letires and Modem Languages.
There are at present in the college, Seniors,
15 ; Juniors, 32; Sophomores, 19 ; Freshmen,
1 St—total, 84.
The college has graduated 244 yonng men,
many of whom are filling responsible positions
of ministers and teachers, throughout the
States of tho South.
It is proposed by the Convention to place an !
efficient agent in the field, with a compensating [
salary, and raise an additional endowment fund
of $100,000, so that a stronger corps of instruc
tion may ho employed in the College, as the
number of yonng men seeking admittance ia
increasing rapidly.
The report of tho Finance Committee cn-
roncces $1,554.95 sent np to the Convention,
in cash, for various purposes, but mostly to aid
in carrying on tho Denominational Missionary
operations.
From the report of tho Executive Committee
of tho Convention, we gather that four young
men are receiving a gratuitous theological edu
cation; that “Hearn School,” at Cave Spring,
Ga., under the care of the Convention, is in a
flourishing condition, and is a valuable auxiliary
of the denomination in Northwest Georgia;
that» railroad to Penfield is in contemplation
and may probably be built. It was decided to
appoint an evangelist for Northwestern Georgia,
and tho subject of State Evangelist was referred
to tho Executive Committee, with power to act.
A resolution was adopted earnestly recom
mending the churches to contribute liberally to
the contingent fund for the support of aged
end infirm Baptist ministers.
The report on the State of Beligion throughout
Georgia rpanifests a great destitution of relig
ious privileges in all parts of the State, and the
report states that fiddling, dancing, drinking
end social irregularities exist in all the relig
ious denominations to a greater extent than for
the last twenty years; that a sadLaodician spirit
is generally prevailing; that there is a great
want of ministerial consecration and min
isterial support; that there is much destitution
among the churches,- many neighborhoods be
ing unprovided with the preached rrord;
that a Sunday School revival spirit prevails;
that the state of religion and religious destitu
tion calls for prayer and self-denial; and that a
cessation should be put to advancing the war
and poverty as pleas for the love of tho world
and the idolatry of covetousness.
The general spirit of the late Conventions was
a desire to promote the cause of religion, edu
cation and morality. The meeting was harmo
nious, and some of the discussions were very
interesting, particularly that which occurred
ou tho adoption of an able report on temper
ance. In reference to that subject, the follow
ing resolution, which was adopted, will exhi i
the animus of the Convention:
Resolved, That the Convention observes witn
profound regret the growing disposition tom-
dnl-e in intoxicating liquors as a common ber-
who ably manages all the business affairs of the
Revolution. There’s an atmosphere of woman
ly purity and delicacy about the place; every
thing is refreshingly neat and clean, and sug
gestive of reform.
Ah! here comes Susan—Susan the deter
mined—Susan the invincible—the Susan who is
possibly destined to be Vice President or Sec
retary of State some of theso days. What a de
licious thought? I tremble some more as she
steps rapidly towards me, and I perceive in her
hand a most statesman-like Toll of MSS. The
painfully crossed eyes scan me coolly and inter
rogatively, seeming to say: “I shall estimate
you, your ideas, and yonr principles, by my
own standard of wright and wrong. There’s no
ideality in me; I’ve no sympathetic conception
of it in others. Things shall bo as I see, not as
yon see, and I don’t care a farthing whether
yon like it or not.”
So speaketh the wary, gray eyes, while the
pleasant voice gives a yot pleasanter greeting.
There’s something very attractive, even fasci
nating, in that voice—a faint echo of the alto
vibration—the tone of power. Bnt this can be
said only of her qniet conversational voice ; on
the stage it is somewhat hard and shrilL. Her
smile is very sweet and genial, and lights np
the pale, worn faoe rarely—softens the rigid
outlines of the high cheek bones, and makes
one almost forget—not quite—the poor crossed
eyes, half hidden behind their spectacles.
She talks awhile in her kindly, sharp, incisive
way. “We’re not foolishly or blindly aggres
sive,” she says tersely; “we don’t lead a fight
against tho true and noble institutions of the
world. We Only seek to substitute for various
barbarian ideas those of a higher civilization—
to develop universally a race of earnest, thought
ful, conscientious women.” And I thought, os
I remembered tho Saturday Review and the
Bound Table, that hero was not much to object
to. Tho world is tho better for thee, Susan.
She risea: “Come, let me introduce you to
Mrs. Stanton.” And we walk into the inner
sanctum, a tiny bit of room, nicely carpeted,
one-windowed, nnd furnished with two desks,
two chairs, a little table—and the senior edi
tress, Mrs. Stanton. The short, substantial
figure, with its handsome black dress and silver
crown of curls, is sufficiently interesting. Tho
freffb, girlish complexion, the laughing blue
eyes and jolly voice are yet more so. Her con
versational stjle is more polished and cultured
that i t Mins Anthony, bnt it lacks the lat
ter’s downright energy. “Not quite so mascu
line,” opined the scoffer. Beside her stands
her sixteen year old daughter, Maggie Stanton,
who is os plump, as jolly, as laughing-eyed as
her mother. The sensible practicality of the
latter is shown in Maggie’s clothing—the thick
boots, the warm cloak and gloves, the simple
hat And in her manner, too, there is nothing
of the tot disant young lady about her; she is
yet a little girl—fresh, bright, aspiring, and
imaginative. ... .
We study Cady Stanton’s handsome face os
ahe talks on rapidly and facetiously. Nothing
little or mean in that face. No line of distrust
or irony. Neither are there wrinkles of care-
life has been pleasant to that woman. .
We hear a bustle in the outer room—rapid
voices and laughing questions—then the door is
suddenly thrown open and in steps a young
Aurora, habited in fur-trimmed cloak, with a
jaunty black velvet cap and snowy feather set
npon her dark clustering curls. What sprite is
this, whose eyes flash and sparkle with a thou
sand happy thoughts, whose dimples and rosy
lips and white teeth make sohhanmng a picture.
“My dear Anna,” says Susan, starting np ;
then there’s an embrace and a shower of tosses.
When I tell the Scoffer this, he langte) at me,
absolutely roars, the great goose—and declares
e -ace and that we earnestly exhort onr breth-
‘ S ’ attain from all such indulgence them-

and before I open my mouth, says simply: “Ah
