GEORGIA ENTERPRISE, i WILLIAM L. liEEBH, Korrofc. COVTN GTONi O\. TRIDAY MORNING, JAN. In, 1869. > [The following AdJretw being of importance ; to most of our patrons we yield our editorial j space this week lo make room for it.] (■prom the Journal and Messenger.) 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. 1). W. LEWIS, Secretary. Macon, Dec. 19th, 1808. roan of constitution for county agricultu ral SOCIETY. The undersigned, citizens of county, by affixing their names to the subjoined Con stitution, and by [laying annually two dollars for membership, do form themselves into an organization to bo known ns the , County Agricultural Society—tho objects of which will b** encouragement of all improve ment in agriculturo, and of all the kindred arts and sciences which tend to increase tho profits and pleasures of agricultural labor, and render home life on the farm attractive and happy. The officers shall be a President, ejected by ballot by the members present at the close of eaeh annual meeting ; ono Vice-President from each militia district gn the county ; a Secretary and a Treasurer—all elected in the same manner at the same time. These officers shall constitute an Executive Committee, who shall have the power to fix the time and place of holding the annunl moctings and fairs, and to prescribe the rules and regulations to be obsorved in tho manage ment of the same. It shall he the duty of this committee to encourage the monthly meetings of the Socie ty, especially during the period of preparation for and the tillage of the crops ; and to bring before such meetings those topics and questions forcolloquial debate, best calculated to keep up the work and the spirit of improvement. It shall further he the duty of this committee and of its individual members, to procure, from time to time, written os*ays and addresses on appropriate subjects from persons distinguished for their success in agriculture, or for their learning in the kindred arts and sciences. The Secretary shall keep a full and perfect record of the proeocdir.gs of the Society. The Treasurer shall make, whenever called upon by the Society or Executive Committee a full exhibit of the financial affairs of the Society’s funds. The President shall have the power to call a special meeting of tha Committee of the So ciety, when, in his opinion, the interest of the Society requires it. 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 “Spring visits may be expected.— A ig. Chron. In 1862, the office of the Ilageistown, Md., Mail, was assailed by a mob, and tho typs, presses, books, &c., of the concern, destroyed, because of the alleged “rebel” proclivities of the editor, Daniel Dechert. Recently Mr. D. 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 mill of justice grinds slow but sure. What was started in Atlanta for an elegant opera house has been converted into a capitol ! for the State of Georgia. The building is five | stories high, the upper one being covered bv a French roof. Tlic ground floor is occupied I by store*, and the basement bv a ntkmu and ‘ billiard room. Communicated. | 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. [Richmond Whig. Philetus Sawyers, member of Congress from Wisconsin, on seeing a steam fire engine at work in Washington the other day, innocently inquired why they boileJ the water before they threw it on the fire. Philetus is as sharp as a frozen turnip.—N. Y. Dem. A Yankee editor says: ‘ The march of ciy ilizution is onward—on ward—like the slow hut intrepid tread of a jacks** towards n peck I of cats.” 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.” r—— » i«i ■ - \ new euniiidatt* for a pho-em Grant’s Cabi- | • m „ , , j„ [v.,ria. lie drank in one . !hv forty-nin eg! osse io? whisky, and was still j uoher enough to -ay “ let us have pence.” r.rown’ow iTtotaWdividing Tennessee What a territorial paradise Brownlow s half would he, . _______ Special Notice?.
