Tho meeting which was eirllol by “mary citiz’ns’’ to take into consideration the fi nancial condition of tho peop’o, mot at tin Court House on Monday Judge Le trrd was called to the Chair, and 11 F. Sim mons acted as Secretary. A commit ee was appointed to report business for the ni eting; and after some consideration re ported that they could fix on no plan, to roeommeul for tUe relief of tire people, and suggested that tha meeting recommend the calling of a corfvonlion of tho State to take tho subject into consul ration. Mr. Whitlock, of the committee, made some pointed romafka, taking tho position that there was no necessity, or cons itu tional grounds for staying the del ts of the people—that they will bo just as :iblo to_ pay their deb's next January, ns they have, any reason to hope they will be a any fu-, turo period. He was followed by F. M. Harper, Esq., who coincided in this positi m ; and proeeo ded to eet forth the uselessness cf cal'ing o state constitu ion—so for as Terrell County is concerned—that the sufferings of the people of this section are more im aginary than real, &<j The quest s on being put as to whether tho meeting should rcccommcud thu cabin . of a convention, it was almost unanimously decided in the negative. Jr" Soutu-WkstErn Georgia—A corres pondent of the Southern Iloeor Jer, speak ing of tho advantages that Senth-’Wc sb rn Georgia holds out for se llement, says : ‘ The most important agricultural prod ic of South-Western Georgia is i upland rice, which grows on lands that have be n worn out by cultivati n, yielding to the acre a quanti y and quality that is surpriiting.— The rice is planted in checks or tii'ls, about fifteen inches each way, and Jrom six to ten stalks left in a hill. A good hand and hoi se can cultivate twenty-five acres of this land in rice, which will,-on tn average of seasons, make thirty bushels to the acre This, at tLe present price that rice sells for, gives a much greater rewhrd to l iber than the best cotton lauds in this Sta'o. With this rice crop, the same hand and horse can cul'ivate a small potato crop of several acres, and an acre in sugar cane, which will yield ten barrels of sugar equal in quality to Muscovado siig-.r. The rice crop needs (o be ploughed twice, and hoed as often, to insure a good result. This wonderful result is, in part, explained by the influence of the snlt-wiGer atmosphere, which so favorably affects the Sea Island cotton, the West India tobacco, which grows fiuely ,n tnis part of the State, and the Indigo, which is cut three times du ring the season, and from which the indi go of commerce is made. As this was in the first settlement of Georgia cultivated Buccesj-fuily, what may we not hope from i« when the young aud the old can both en gage ia its rultivulion and manufacture, and the quality equal to that produced in Bengal ?"

It was urged in an espeml manner, upon the Southern members of the Executive Committee, to call these meetings, for the purpose of show ing both friends and foes at the North, that the people of the South ratified the aetion of thc-ir representatives in that Convention. i It is asserted by our .Radical opponents ■ that the Soutkorn delegates did not repre- : •sent the great mars of their cjDstituency ; and, that, as a peojle, wo wero yet rebel!- | ious and disloyal. Hence, this call by fiie | Committee for the peo[ lo themselves to speak jin their conn y meeting. It is*not my pur-; pose to defend here the action of your del- : egates in the Convention. They aro will ing far future results to applaud or condemn j them. While they do not claim that every thing that was said or done in that conven tion met wi h their entire approval, they do assert that, taken in its totality, its proceed ings should command the approval of every man who sincerely desires the restoration of ) iraternal relatii ns, harmony and union. I Enough was accomplished to satisfy us that I we have friends at the North, who arc mau j fully fighting in their own States for our I interest and our rights. They simply ask of i us to aid them iu their heroio struggle by > giving them ‘our endorsement.’ They claim that it will aid them in the eketioos now j pending.
