In the last ten years Mississippi has increased her production of manufactured goods $2,000,000 only, while Georgia has added 820,000,000 to hers. I doubt if any part ^f any State was as much devastated during the civil war as that part of Georgia between Atlanta and the Tennessee line; but the people are gradually improving their condition, and will, ere long, be prosperous. That is the best part of the best cotton State. And while I do not say the foregoing is a good showing for Georgia, I do say it proves that a ’State, ridden and robbed by degrees and scalawags, is not more i irosperous than a State controlled by white Democrats. For the truth of history exacts the statement that we have had a few jour neymen thieves in Georgia who whould not feel complimented to have it said that South Carolina or Mississippi conld produce. their superiors. They have left their foot-prints upon the old red sand stone of Georgia, and there itfwll stay, and when our prosperity or the waut of it is, talked about should be re membered. The day will come when Georgia, in place of employing 20,000 hands, as she now does, will give work to 100,000; in place of turn ing out 835,000,000 worth of manufactured goods she will put on the market annaully 8150,000,000 worth. If wise statesmanship, coupled with industry and frugality by her people, prevail, in twenty-five years Georgia will be without a rival for the leadership of her Sourthern sisters; in fifty years she will rank with the first States af the Union. God grant all the people of all the States the ob servance of Georgia’s motto, “Wisdom, jus tice and moderation.” Respectfully, John W.

Miscellaneous Selections. Georgia and Mississippi. A REPLY TO MR. CHARLES NOUDIIOFF. Caktersthj.e, Ga., Sept. 13,1875. To the Editor of the X. Y. Herald: Your correspondent, Mr. Nordiioff, in a late letter upon affairs in Georgia, institut ed a comparision between Georgia and Mississippi, by which lie demonstrates to his own satisfaction that Mississipi, notwith standing negro rule, is in a more prosperous condition than Georgia, the latter being controlled by the white Democrats since 1870. While I intend to show by the facts that Mr. Nordhoff is in error, it will be useful to keep it in mind that it has been live years only that the people of G*r Ql S' ;l who are interested in the welfare of the Commonwealth, have had the reins of gov-, erment. ... Mississippi is a younger State than Geor gia, and its soil is naturally richer. Tlie Mississippi bottoms are not surpassed for fertility by the lands of any State in the Union. It takes more labor and higher culture to produce as good results from Georgia soil as Mississsippi soil produces. About one-fourth of the entire areaofGeorgia is made useless for agricultural purposes nv mountains and hills iu the northeastern part of the State, and by swamps in the southern part. There is a considerable portion of Mississippi too low for cultivation, but there is no part too high. About the same number of acres in each State arc used for the growth of grain crops, while there is more land given toTOttorr in Georght-than in Mississippi. And it may he useful.hero to state that the total area of Georgia is 57,- 000 square miles, and that of Mississippi 47,000 square miles. The population of Georgia is 1,185,100; that of Mississippi 827,922. The gram and hay crop of Georgia for 1869 brought over 832,000,000, arid tnaf of Mississippi 828,300,000. The value of all property in Georgia in 1866 was $222,000,- O00, which by the returns of 1874 is shown to %S*4i aJrawd-■*&■ $dro,0$Qjl»o. This makes an increase in six years in Georgia values of-$51,000,000. The ret unis show that Mississippi for the same period has not increased in the value of her property $20,- 000,000. (t Mississippi, which lias honestly earned the cognomen of the “ Cow State,” in 1860 slaughtered and sold for slaughter, animals of the valuo of a tittle over $7,000,000, while Georgia for the same purpose pro duced'$11,000,0.00 worth.: In 1870 Missis sippi slaughtered only $4,000,000 worth, while Georgia bad $7,000,000 worth to nse in that, wqy. In this matter Georgia lias sustained her 'superiority in a very striking manner. The annual product of Georgia is ' $10,000,000 worth more than that of Mis sissippi. Gcorgii* 'fe<'ory'yCw->' bays md’re than $20,000,000 for help, while Mississippi getsioh viilitthc -payment of $10,000,000. There are oply three States in the Union which pay more in this way than Georgia —to wit: New York, Pennsylvania aud Illinois—while there afe fiine tvhieh pay more than Mississippi. Georgia, on $273,- 000,000 of property, pays, in State, county, city f|nd town $Wi $2,600,000, being about one. per cent. Mississsippi, on $177,000,- 000 of property, pqysf$3,700,i State, countj\ city arid t4\vn. .1 Census-Taker's Experience in El mira. I had just received my appointment and started out to begin my labors as a ‘ Census- taker.’ New to the business, and having been forewarned of coming troubles in the way of rebuffs from sensitive ladies, stupid folks and others, I had determined to be gin iu such a way as to win attention from those I was to approach. Here is an ac count of the first call in my district in Che mung county: My folio, blanks and pencil were all in good shape, and after having rung a door bell, I calmly awaited the answer to my call. An old lady cautiously opened the door. ‘ Madam,’ I said, ‘ I have called for the census.’ * Yes!’ she replied calmly, with a look that told she failed to realise the force of my statement. I repeated the words—‘ Madam, I have called for the cen sus.’ A stare of surprise and re-adjustment of her spectacles prefaced the reply. 4 Yes; what did you say':’ Again I said, and with perhaps too much emphasis, 4 The census— the census, you know.’ • I know, do I—no, I don’t. I guess you’re crazy, ain’t you? Who he you?’ Thereupon, she grasped the door-knob and barricading with her well developed form the portals of her home, showed tne at a glance how complete was her mastery of the situation, should matters demand an exhibition of her powers. Then quoth she: ‘Now Mister, I don’t know who yon be, nor what yon want; but if you’ve left yonr senses anywhere, we haiiit got’em, and don’t want’em-and you’d better go along.’ The words were nothing to me—but the derisive smile that lighted her good old face annoyed me. But intent oil business, I opened my folio and prepared to ask the appointed question. ‘Madam,’ I asked, * arc you the lady of the house?’ ‘ Oh, ho! you’re pedlar, are you? Oh I see—but wc don’t wan’t any thin" to-day.’ Madam,’ I rejoined, 4 you don’t under stand, I am after the census.* A confused and anxious look again settled upon her face; but with an effort she said: ‘Poor fellow, you are craay, ’ain’t you mad as > a March-hare—but I guess you won’t hurt anybody—hut—I—wish—hut bmnt got your senses—so now do go along, won’t you?’ Onco more I essayed my work. 4 No, go, Madam; you don’t understand, the Census—the census, your age and occu pation Evidently, the old lady was alarmed. A look of earnestness came upon her, as she nervously replied, 4 Goodness, gracious, me! how yon do stick!’ and putting her head be hind the lialf-slmt door, she screamedlwith a voice that would have honored a railway engine: 4 liar—rit! Har—r—rit! do come here in a minit and see a fellow that is as crazy as a loon! ‘Then turning to me she added, ‘Lord—a—sake! ‘I don’t know what to dof’~ and then “she turned and screamed again—‘Har—r—rit, why don’t you come! llere I am with a mail as crazy as a bed- bag! liar—r—r—it;’ and the welkin rung as with a clarion blast. The neighborhood was aroused. Men, women and children came crowdin Around, the steps and filled the sidewalks about. At this point, the scene became exciting. Thp old lady alternated in screams for 4 Harrit,’ who failed to appear; *police!’ and entreaties tb at I should leave. M. A_. STOVALL, WAREHOUSE AND COMMISSION MERCHANT No. 1.
