Let us have an era of g<~od feeling.”
Peace is what every good and pa-
triolic citizen desires, and ‘‘an era of
good feeling ” is a consummation de
voutly to be wished for. But such
utterances as the foregoing, attrib
uting to the Democratic party the
local frauds and corruption of New
York city, and likening its existence
to the corrupt speculative schemings
of the Gotham conspirators, are not
very apt to prove the forerunners of
“ an era of good feeling” oi result in
the foundation of a new political
affiliation of the party thus abused.
More Farmers Needed.
II. II. CARLTON, - Editor.
The Tri-Weekly Georgian.
Allien4 now demands something
more than a weekly newspaper
thro.igh which to advertise her com
mercial, manufacturing, educ:.?ionnl,
dima ic and various other ad vantages.
With such advantages in a higher de
gree than almost any other town or
city in the South, still for the want of
a proper medium through which to
advertise the fact, the outside world
remain in ignorance of the superior
attractions which we can offw to
capital and immigration. There is
no town or city in Georgia of the
size of Athens that does not support
either a daily or tri-weekly newspa
per. Even some of much smaller
population than Athens can boast
greater enterprise in journalism.
The advantage which these places
have gained from their greater news
paper facilities, by way of stimulus
to their different enterprises, can
scarcely be estimated. Experience
We extract from the New York
Herald the following most sensible
article which we commend to the
careful consideration of our Southern
land owners. If the suggestions
herein contained were adopted, not
only would it bring to us the much
needed prosperity but prove a solu
tion to the many troubles and a re
lief to the many embarrassments with
which we of this Southern country
have now to contend:
The almost total cessation of im
migration which is reported by those
who know can be partially explained
by the stagnation of business; but an
important feature of it can he traced
to the neglect of States and the na
tion to devise inducements for foreign
agriculturists. At the present time,
when life and property promise to he
of uncertain value in Europe, Amcri
ca should be receiving ship loads of
small farmers. The industry, econo
my and thrift of tiiesc people are sore
ly needed as examples to our own
rather careless and wasteful farmers,
while additional wealth and income
would result to the State itself by the
occupancy of lands which at present
yield only prairie and forest tires, ague
and rattlesnakes. It is not enough
that such desirable persons should be
offered homesteads that are too far
from markets to he available or too
poor to have been attractive to pro
fessional land-gfabliers. The experi
ence of the General Land Office is
that even native Americans are slow
to avail themcelvcs of the Homestead
law. What, then, can be expected
then demonstrates that nothing can .
contribute more to the growth and i *** to'^oignens? It would be to the ic-
prosperity of any community than a
medium through which to keep its
advantages, as well as its necessities
constantly before the public. Believ
ing then that the interest ot Athens
and our immediate section ot coun
try, could in no way be better sub
served than by a more frequent
issue of our paper, we propose, com
mencing on Thursday, 26lh, to issue
tlie Georgian both as a Weekly
and Tri-Weekly. Thus having de
termined, we earnestly appeal to every
citizen of Athens and the surrounding
country who feels an interest in the
general prosperity and material ad
vancement of our city and section to
come up and aid us in this enterprise
with their subscription, tlicir adver
tising patronage and with their gen
erous and encouraging advocacy.

crops. These facts in regard to our
future cotton prospects, cannot be
questioned. Then, it only remains
for our planters to say, whether or
not they are willing to risk the pur
chase of their meat and bread-stuffs,
which must necessarily command war
prices, with a cotton crop that will
have to be sold below the cost of
producing.
It may he claimed l>y some of our
fanners that large grain crops would
not be profitable for another year
beyond supplying our home necessi
ties, and that it will only be necessary
to add sufficient grain raising to their
cotton crops to meet this demand.
Well, let us look into this question a
little. That a European war-of such
immensity as that which is likely to
grow out of the hostilities between
Iiussia and Turkey will greatly effect
calculation. This, then, should leavv
no doubt with our agriculturists ns
to the necessity of adopting a proper,
self-sustaining economy in their farm
operations for another year, in order
to protect themselves as well as the
country against the contingencies of
a protracted European war.
The New York Herald thinks it is
Ilnyes’ policy to induce the old
Whigs to leave the Democratic
party and thus form a new departure
for the support of his administration
This can hardly be accomplished
by one whose leadership would be a
continual reminder that his position
cculd never have been attained un
der the Constitution of our forefathers,
and that his presidential existence is
due to the creation of an Electoral
Commission to meet the fraudulent
and partisan necessities of the usurp-
the biead-stuffs ot this country, and , e |. s 0 f free government.
at the same time make cott.< n worth-1 =— ——
less to producers, we need not slop j Editor Georgian—As the time
to argue. This is a fact which must
be conceded by every one. Already
the markets, both in this country and
in Europe, have been seriously dis
turbed . l»y the contemplation of war.
Stocks have depreciated in value or
become unsettled ; gold lias gone up,
and grain and bread-stuffs have ad
vanced in prices. But in order to
call the attention of our agriculturists
more directly to this subject ami its
importance as concerning them and
their agriculture for at least another
twelve months, we propose simply io
notice the extent to which Russia
has furnished bread for other jmr-'
tions of the world. Upon examining
the statistics giving the amount of
cereals exported by the different na
tions of the world, we find that
Russia and the United States are the
most prominent. Russia’s annual
exportation of wheat to supply the

Senator Gordon’s Position.
Onr senior Senator has this to say
for himself in the following extract
from a private letter written on the
14th inst. to Col. J. A. Billups, of
Madison:
And now one word as to
myself. I sen that an effort is being
made to create the impression in
Georgia that I am in some way re
sponsible for the defeat of Mr. Tilden’s
inauguration. No greater injustice
or outrage was ever perperated upon
The New York Herald wants a
new party and says, “ The President
should say frankly, ‘There is no use
for the Republican party. Its work
is done. It was a war party, and
will only inarch to the sound of the
drum. There is no use for the Dem
ocratic party. It is something be
tween a conspiracy and a railroad
speculation. It rests on no solid
basis. It is a fancy slock, like the
Erie or the bonanza mines. It should
go into bankruptcy. Buchanan
and Tweed and Jeff Davis have
frittered its* resources away. Even

We present this week a circular
letter from Dr. Janes, Commissioner
of Agriculture, to the agriculturists
of the State. The doctor advises an
increase in the grain crops of the
country, and insists that it is not too
late to avert the disastrous effects
upon our industries which might at
this time result from a want of wise
forecast in our farm economy.
Is the Commissioner of Agriculture
right in his suggestion, and is it wise
to inaugurate the reform at this time?
Well, let us sec. From present indi
cations, war between Russia and
Prussia on the one hand, and Turkey,
assisted by England, on the other,
seems an inevitable result. To what
extent other powers may become
allied on the one side or the other,
cannot now be safely conjectured;
but it is by no means impossible or
even improbable that within a few
months, all Europe may 1>3 ablaze
with war. The current of opinion
rather favors the idea that this war,
when thoroughly inaugurated, will
probably be the most stupendous and
wide-spread ever before experienced
on that continent. Then, what will
be the effect of this war upon our
country, its commercial, agricultural
and industrial interests? Our time
and space will not permit of a gen
eral review of such a war and its
bearings upon our various industries,
hence, we must l»e content with
briefly noticing the effects only so far
as pertinent to the subject under con
sideration. i
The American exports of cotton to
England are, on an average, not less
than two million bales annually.
England being engaged in war, as
doubtless she will be, onr exports
must necessarily be greatly lessened,
entirely suspended. This,
demands of Great Britain averages | aiiy ma ,, i„ public life. I was not a

Editor Georgian—Why is it hat
your paper did not. reach tlifsnl>-
scribers here this week ? Its llurc
to do so was very unfortun: \ ns
there have been a very large uuber
of people in attendance upon >urt
here this week. Be; ter inqtiii into
this matter—such mishaps arc am-
aging to a newspaper interest.
Suhscrii :.
We are at a loss to accoti for
this failure. The papers wen :or-
tainly sent from our office l the
post-office, as usual on Tuesda our
publication day. Similar coni] nts
are beard almost weekly from her
quaiters. We cannot unde md
why it is that our paper is so i ju-
lar in reaching its points of d na
tion. We are extremely par Jar
JR- !
GIAN is duly and properly mai to
onr subscribers. These re] :ed
complaints have made us «l»ly
careful in mailing every issue < >ur
paper to every individual subs er.
As such failures are likely to sc sly
damage onr interest, we tri mr
postmaster at Athens, as well die
friends of our piper clsewhe rill
assist us in ferreting out the e ! of
these irregularities that pro ob
jection may be made to ill »t-
master-General with . the ho) of
having the evil remedied.
. The charge that I made any bar-
] gain of any sort, or had any under
standing of any character, with Fos
ter, whom I saw, or with Stanley
Mathews, whom I did not see until
after the inauguration, looking either
to the presidential count or to the ac
tion of any democrat in reference to
futmc organization of house or par
ties, is basely false in every syllable
and in every sense. I did not make
any promises to let the count go on.
I was not asked to make any. I did
not then have nor have I since had
one word of conversation with either
of these gentlemen, nor with anybody
else looking to any political compro
mises or political arrangements or af
filiations of any description whatso
ever. My only agency, niy only ef
fort in this presidential count was
this: when I say that Mr. Tilden’s
in our office, in seeing that the pR- j cause was hopelessly lost—lost by
want of concert of action prior to the
passage of the electoral bill--lost be
yond tlie power of rescue by any man
or set of men, I determined to do all
iu my phwer to save from the wreck,
local self-government to South Caro
lina and Louisiana, which was tlie
groat end of onr endeavors in the last
campaign. If that be treason to prin
ciple, to party or to country, let my
personal enemies make the most of it.
