Address of the State Agricultural Society
to the I’Otiplc of Georgia.
The several Conventions of Planters and
Farmers assembled in Macon, on the 10th and
11th ult., finally united under the existing or
ganization of the State Agricultural Society,
formed in 1840, and liberally chartered in
1853; and when so united, took a wide and
comprehensive view of all the questions most
vital to the agricultural interest. lam direc
ted by the resolution of the meeting to call
your attention to ono or two important fea
tures in its action.
Without preliminaries, then, I ask you to
look at the proceedings of this meeting, and
answer, under a solemn sense of your duty to
yourselves and your country, if the questions
raised and the objects contemplated by this
meeting are not of sufficient moment to enlist
the effort and sympathy of every man and wo
man in Georgia. No 'one can answer, no.—
Admitting, thoiqaffyoa must, the importance
of the movement, can you stand idle? Can
you in derogation of all your past history
confessed delinquents? Every consid
eration forbids. What then shall you do l
The meeting at Macon points the way. It is
to orgauiae. Let the people of every county
kold public meetings at once, and organize
Planters’ Clubs or Agricultural Societies. Let
those immediately identified with agriculture
—let the tillers of the soil begin the work,
and all trades and occupations dependent up
on the prosperity of the agriculturist will unite
with you in active aid and support. At tho
same meeting which organizes your Planters’
(Hubs, appoint full delegations of your intel
ligent, practical, successful farmers to attond
the meeting of the State Agricultural Society,
winch is to meet in Atlanta on the first Tues.
day in February next. [See Appendix.]
At this meeting, questions the most vital to
our welfare are to he considered. Among
them arc such as the following :
Is it not important that the Legislature
should establish a land office in connection
with a commissioner of immigration, which
office shall furnish all persons wishing to pur
chase and settle with full information of the
location, value, and properties of lands that
are for sale ?
Is it not important- that the Legislature
ehould make an annual appropriation to the
State Agricultural Society sufficient to enable
it to establish a Department of Agriculture, as
a means of collecting all facts and information
of general interost, for annual publication—of
Aiding the Society in defraying the expenses
of its annual meetings and fairs—in collecting
for such meetings whatever is valuable, curi
■ous and interesting in natural history—in
scientific progress ? Other States and nations,
the most advanced in all culture and refine
ment, encourage, by material aid, such organ
izations, Why should not Georgia? Tho
policy of the present Legislature, in many
features, has been wise and liberal. It is
only necessary for you to consider what legis
lation your interests require, and to give prop
er expression of your wants and demands,
and your claims will be admitted—granted.
There are other questions, not less im|*or
tant, which must be answered, not by legisla
tion, but by intense thought and reflection,
the result of this thought and reflection re
duced to practical application, and each man's
final conclusion interchanged freely, in com
mon council, for the benefit of all. The peos
pie of the cotton belt must answer whether or
not the free negro is now the best laborer
available for the cotton field, or whether, as
some think, ‘lie must slide,’ die out, and give
place to another. They must answer whether
any laborer, white or black, can labor through
the seasons necessary to produco and gather
a cotton and corn crop in this climate, and
have tho leisure and preserve the attitude
requisite to any degreo of mental and social
culture.
If it is to the interest of the cotton growers
to save the negro, then what is the best ays
tern of management—upon what terms best to
employ them—for wages in money or part of
the crop. Is it advisable to tenant them on
separate farms? What restraints and penal
ties can be legally imposed in our contracts
with them to compel the fulfillment on their
part. On all these points, every man needs
every other man’s experience and advice. —
Able committees have been appointed to make
report in February ; the meeting cannot fail
in interest. It was never more important than
now, that all should contribute something to
the general fund of knowledge. Let those
who have been successful in the management
of the freedmen’B labor, give tho Convention
in February written statements in detail of
their system. Let those who have failed in
the management of this labor state in detail
what was their system, and why they failed.
Let the Convention be furnished with copies
of the contracts under which you operated,
accompanied by financial statement of the ox*
penses and profits of the operation. In this
manner extraordinary interest may be im
parted to the proceedings of the meeting and
great good accomplished.
The Agricultural Society, by the terms of
its Charter, is designed to encourage all im
provement in mechanical arts, manufactures,
mining, etc. All Societies or Associations or
ganized for such purposes are requested to
send delegations to the Convention.
Ah appeal is here made to individuals who,
in any part of the State, have given careful
reflection to the situation of affairs—who have
studied closely how the freedman’s labor is to
be managed so as to make his labor profitable
to the employer, anil at the same time make a
contented ;...d happy laborer—and who have
put tho result of their reflections into success
ful practice -to eome'to this meeting in Feb
ruary, and in written essay, give the whole
country tho benefit of their counsel ami ex
perience. If you cannot attend send in your
An appeal is here made to every press in
the State to publish this notice, and to give
the aid of the editorial pen, not once, but re
peated! v. in urging the people to action.—
There is not a press in the State, some portion
of whose readers would not be reached by any
other. Then let every press publish, and every
editor write, and again write, as if tho work
and duty was exclusively his own.
Certainly these times invite us to combined
effort. Can any one doubt that the salutary
solution of this now labor problem that is
irpon ns demands the united effort and wisdom
of all beads, hearts and hands? Can any
doubt that the present remunerative prices of
all agricultural products arc almost enough to
entice the crowded idleness of our thorough
fares to the delightful labor of the field V Can
any doubt that the present impulse in favor ol
high culture, and increased —more extended
cultnre, if quickened anil widened and deep
ened, will go far not only to increase our
wealth and happiness as individuals and as a
people, but far also to diminish the crime and
profligacy that is everywhere —in high as well
n* in low places?
Lot, then, our mass meeting in February
make its utteranse full and distinct on all
questions. Let the Legislature give the re
quired. needful legislation. Lot organized
effort everywhere speak. Let the press teem
with article after article, with thought after
thought in the good cause. Let individual
effort and enterprise, wherever succassful in
solving tho difficulties of theso times, conic
forth and make itself heard. And when all
have been heard, and truth and wisdom have
been combined) and fully and distinctly utter
ed, and carefully heeded, who will doubt that
our South will yet become what it ouee was,
the best place to live in the world.
By order of the Convention.

Macon, Dec. 19th, 1808.
roan of constitution for county agricultu

The Flow of Currenct Suftb.—The money
article of the New York lferald, of the Bth
instant, says: “Forty or fifty millions of
dollars have gone South and Lave been, or
will be, absorbed there. The flow of currency
in that direction, at the p-esent time is still
going on, hut on a diminished scale. More will
scale. More will go in the Spring in the shape
Northern capital, which, under the temptation
of tho high price of cotton, is seeking invest
ment there. Emigration basset in and there
will be a strong current in the Spring.—
The revival of cotton culture is a fever just
now with capitalists.” In confirmation of the
foregoing, we have been shown Northern letters
to the house of L. & 11. McLaws, of this city,
authorizing the purchase of a number of small
farms, in Middle Georgia, of two and four
hundred acres in extent, an advis’ ig that

In 1862, the office of the Ilageistown, Md.,
Mail, was assailed by a mob, and tho typs,
presses, books, &c., of the concern, destroyed,

instituted suit against the corporation of Ha
gerstown for the destruction of bis property,
laying his damages at ten thousand dollars.—
The ease was heard, and last week the jury
rendered a verdict of? 7,500 damages. The

The Citizens of Covington—Their Interest
and Duty.
It is the interest and duty of the citizens of j
the thriving little eiiy of Covington, to cherish j
with liberal hands, the Female College located
in their midst. Having been blessed with it* (
advantages for almost a quarter of a century, j
the citizens have almost ceased to regard it us i
a blessing. Some have almost concluded that ,
if it was entirely obliterated, the loss would i
scarcely be felt upon the commercial interests j
of the place, or upon the price of real estate.
There is one thing evident, if the College
was permitted to go down, thcro would be
many a house vacant in the town, whereas
now, almost every one is appropriated, and if
there were other suitable houses for families,
the number and quality of tho inhabitant*
would he much improved. It has been admit
ted that your town is the most flourishing of
any from Atlanta to Augusta. A citizen of
the place must he douhly blind if lie cannot
see that tho College contributes greatly to this
prosperity. Upon a very moderate estimate,
each young lady boarder brings to- the place
not less than three hundred dollars. This
amount would not cover board and .tuition in
the two principal departments. In this, there
is no allowance for Ornamentals and French,
which many will study, and no allowance fur
goods and other expenses indispensable to a
school girl in any place. Four hundred dollars
distributed by each young lady, would he
moderate ; some it is true would not reach it,
others would exceed it. These figures are
about correct, yet it is well known that the
gentlemen who conduct the school, are plain
men, and strongly opposed to extravagance.
We learn that the Faculty and Executive Com
mittee are laboring to bring from abroad one
hundred pupils for tho Spring term of the
present year. \1 ith the zealous co operation
of tho ciiizens of the place, such a result is
entirely practicable. Now upon the above cal
culation, what amount of money would he
distributed in your midst? Forty thousand
dollars. This amount would he greatly in
creased by visitors looking after the interests
of their daughters and wards. IVith such a
result there is not a house in town that would
not be increased in value fifty per cent. Such
a result would be felt by every citizen in the
place, in the increased prosperity of his busi
ness, and the enhancement of the value of his
real estate. There is not a store, shop, office
or profession in the town, that would nut feel
the impulse. TV ill not the success of ihe past
year encourage the faculty in their labors?—
Let the citizens unite their efforts to make this
institution what its founders intended it to be,
the pride of their city, and an honor to the
Masonic fraternity. It would certainly be
suicidal in any citizen to withhold his patron
age, to say nothing of opposing the efforts of
its friends to place it upon an enduring found
ation. If these things are true in regard to
the interests of tho town and college, the
people should simultaneously rise and exert
themselves to promote these interests, without
waiting for a moment to enquire who is the
author of these thoughts.
An Interested Citizen.
Good-Bye.
It is a hard word to speak. Some may
laugli that it should he, But let them, ley
heart* are never kind. It is a word Hint has
choked many an utterance, and started many
a tear. The hand is clasped, the word spoken,
we part, and out upon the ocean of time wo
go to meet again—where, God only knows.
It may be soon ;it may be never. Take care
that your ‘good-bye’ be not a cold one, it may
be tho last that you can giye. F/re you may
meet your friend again death’s cold hand may
have closed his eyes and chained his lips for
ever. Ah! he may have died thinking you
loved him not.
Again, it may he a long separation. Friends
crowd around and give you their hand. How
you detect in each ‘good-bye' the love that
lingers there ; and how you bear away with
the memory of these parting words many,
many days.
We must often separate with those we
love when it is hard to part. Tear not your
self away with a careless boldness that defies
all love, but make your last words linger—
give the heart its full utterance—and if tears
fall, what of it? Tears are not unmanly.
A Good Sign.
Colonel Forney announces that he has open
ed a land agoncy at the office of the Chronicle
for the sale of Southern lands. This is a good
sign. It argues that Colonel Forney is satisfied
dmt tho South is not a don of assassins : that
Northern people—even the extremest Uadiifuls
—muy come here without risk of life or proper
ty ; and his being satisfied will go far to satisfy
many others. We hope he may have great
success in his undertaking. We have a great
many vacant places in the South which nmy
be filled both to the profit of those who fill
them and to that of the community at large.
We care not how many white men may come
nor how Radical they be—so they come to
abide and to share our fortunes. They will
be welcome all. They will soon see that our
interost is their interest, aud vice vena. If
Congress could raise itself to the elevated
statesmanship of Senator Ferry, of Connecticut
and by one act wipe out all invidious distinc
tions the era of good feelings would revive at
once with a flood of prosperity in which overy
citizen of the Republic might partake.
Push that proposition, Colonel! Its adop*-
tion will overwhelm you with l»ml sales and
confer blessings on every portion of the Union.

The Cost of Liberty.
Lot.U here, read, study and learn what it cost .
to obtain your liberties. See tho contrast.
Just six hundred and fifty years ag hist An
gust, on the little island meadow in the river j
Thames, known as Knnnymedc, the friends of j
, freedom in England met King John, an.l wros- ,
led from him the British rights of Magna Onar
rn containing these words :
"No man shall he arrested, imprisoned,or Jc- I
| prived of his own free household, or of his j
| liberties, or ol his own free customs, or outlawed I
or banished, or injured in any manner ; nor
will wc pas* sentence upon him nor send trial
upon him, unless by the legal judgment of
his peers, or by the law of the land.”
This germ of civil liberty was defended in
England by two hundred and fifty years of war
and ratified hv many acts of Parliament, and
no King ot Parliament of England would dare
to restrict the privilege of habeas corpus which
was engrafted in our constitution. Some six
years before the Federal Constitution was
adopted, a remarkable prophecy was uttered
under the following related circumstances :
“In 1780, Henry Laurens, former President
of the Continental Congress, was sent as Min
ister to Holland. On his way he was captured
and imprisoned in the Tower of London for
fourteen months. When Lord Shelburne be
came Premier, Laurens was brought up on
habeas corpus and released. Aftei his release
he dined with Lord S. when speaking of the sep
arat'onof the two countries, LordS. remarked :
“I am sorry for jour people.” “Why so?’>
asked Laurens. “They will lose the habeas
corpus,” was the reply. “Lose the habeas
corpus?’ said Laurensin astonishment. ‘Yes,
said Lord Shelburne; ‘we purchased it with
centuries of wrangling, many years of fighting
and had it confirmed by at least fifty acts of
Parliament. All this taught the nation its
value ; and it is so ingrained into their creed
as the very foundation of liberty, that no man
of party will dare trample on it. Your
people will [lick it up and attempt to use it:
but, having cost them nothing, they will not
know how to appreciate it. At the first great
internal feud you have, the majority will tram
pie upon it and the people will permit it to 1c
done, and so will go your liberty.”
When a people without even a protest, see
whole States disfranchised in time of peace,
says the N. Y Express, the ballot taken from
bundled- of thousands of intelligent white men
and given to hundreds of thousands of negroes,
when suffrage and majorities wrested by mili
tary lorcc and Radical usurpation from whole
States, as in West Virginia, North and South
Carolina, Alabama, Arkansas and Florida, —
and, as from 1564 to 1860 when there is a
quiet acquiescence in ihe mode and result of
-ucli transactions, the prophecy which was
made to Laurens eighty-eight years since, ha-,
simply become history. The U. S. constitution,
in its guarantees of personal liberty, was found
ed upon the Magna Cliarta of our British an
cestors, and wo have seen it trampled under
foot more times than the years which have
passed since 1780. It is both our fault and
misfortune that" this has been done, —that a
fragmentary congress has mustered the Federal
Executive, upset the Federal Jn liciarv, and
often imprisoned without trial, tried without a
jury.c n lemned without a hrar n %snd punish
ed without reason or justice-
What Gen. Grant’s Hii:lit Ilaad Man Says.
In a speech in the House of Repro-cntalivcs
on Wednesday, Mr. Washharne, of Illinois, win'
is popularly coimideied to lie in Gi m nil
Grant's confidence, in alluding to hi* election
said :
It i* time thereprosen’ut vesof tlv* pc nD were
admonished that they are the servants of the
people and are paid by the people; that their
constituents have confided to "hern the great
trust of governing their rights and prdccting
their interest ; that their position and power
are to be u»od for the benefit of the people
whom they represent, and not for their own
benefit and the benefit of lobbyists, rhe gam
blers and the speculators who have come to
Washington to make a raid upon the Treasury.
The time has alsOeome in my judgment, when
public men are to be held to a more strict ac
countability, to a more strict discharge of their
duty, and when their actions will bo scanned
by a more critical eye. Much is expected of
the newadmistratration and the public expecta
tions will not be disappointed ; but as much a*
Grant can demand as much as he will do in bis
sphere of action, it is idle to suppose that he
can do everything the country requires to be
done to secure those reforms in tho public ser
vice which are so impatiently demanded. As
President, Grant must have the earnest and
cordial support of the other branches of the
Government, particularly of the legislative
branch. The responsibility of this Congress
so far as the next administration is concerned,
is complete. The great masses of our consti
tuents, the bone ar.d sinew of the country, the
men who have no schemes of plunder, and who
desire only an honest administration of the
Government, men who fought the buttles of
tho republic, and poured out their blood in its
defense, require of as a decrease of our expen
diture and a reduction of our taxation, regard
less of the mysteries of finance ; yet they see
our credit can be improved, the public faith
vindicated, a return to specie payments made
certain, reduction of the interest on the public
debt secured by keeping down the expenses of
Government,
Resumption of Specie Payment.— Mr. Geo.
Opdyke, ex-Mayor of New York, is engaged
on the national finances. lie asserts “that the
United States have seven tenths more currency
per capita than before the war, or than Eng
land and France now has; and that the proper
ways to bring this currency to par with gold
are to contract it at a rate not exceeding ten
millions of dollars a year and to await the
growth of the country in its resources and
consequent need of curreuey. These means,
he believes, will bring the country to specie
payment in about sevtn years, and any earlier
resumption, be aiguas, will ha fraught with
more injury than benefit to the general business
of the country.”
