From and after this issue of the Northeast Georgian, we will de liver the paper on Tuesday, at the houses or places of business of nil sub scribers living in the city, and who hare heretofore taken it at this Office or at tho Athens Post-Office. As we are endeavoring to correct and perfect our subscription list, and as this new arrangement may cause us, for the time being, to uuiutentionally overlook the names of some, we earnestly re quest every subscriber, who may at any time fail to get his papers from the “Carriers,” to notify us at once,’ that the trouble may be remedied. We hope, under this new system of delivery, to get the Georgian to our subscribers quite soon after it is issued, and with their co-operation in perfect ing the same, trust it will prove more convenient to them and advantageous to the Georgian. er words, the formers of the South paid a bonus of twenty-three millions of doUara for the privilege of raising fifteen hundred thousand bales of cot ton.

In answer to this, we need only call attention to the fact, that Great Britain, some years ago, foreseeing the coming increased de mand for tropical products, endea vored, through the most vigorous efforts of her best and ablest states men, to so increase and stimulate the cultivation of cotton in the East In dies, as to make the repudiation of all Southern raised cotton by British manufactories.

Having secured as Foreman of our Office, Mr. James T. Powell, a native of South Carolina, but who has been for the past eight years engaged in the Job Printing business in the City of Washington, D. C., and having taken steps to furnish our Office with new type, presses, and all necessary outfit, we will be prepared, at an early day, aud promise our subscribers to present them the Georgian in an entirely new dress, and we trust, through our earn est and untiling efforts, with a general improvement in many respects. Mr. Powell having spent a num ber of years in the printing business, having had ample opportunities for perfecting himself in all the latest and most improved styles of American printing, and having made a specialty of Job Printing for several years, be ing the senior member of the Book and Job Printing firm of Powell&Ginck, of Washington City, we propose to make a specialty of that class of work in our Office, and promise to do ns tasty and eiegant Job Work as can lie done anywhere, aud at as low if not lower rates, than the same work can bo obtained even at the North. We also hope, with his valuable assistance, to make the Northeast Georgian a First Class Family Newspaper in all respects.

After fourteen years earnest endeavor at re form, we see her using 817,998,048 pounds, nearly 700,000,000 pounds of which were obtained from America! England’s efforts proved but a signal failure, and in the language of an other, “ the golden apple, fully ripen ed, dropped into the lap cf our South ern cotton planters.'

The sum then paid for his cotton would be the surplus which would soon relieve him as the now burdened and embarrassed follower of an overstrained agriculture, and ele vate him to the proud position of the comfortable, well-to-do, and altogether independent Southern planter. Another result equally certain and equally desirable from this reduction, and which would inevitably prove our Southern aggrandizement, would be the bject these care of mine, I intend for people of my own color." Instead of saying .this, he issued dere long before the Civil Rights came law,- that his conductors should admit to the sleeping ear blacks and whites, without distinction. It seemed that he labored' to bring about the re sult arrived at by the act. On Monday last, that impudent and debased mulatto of New Orleans, Pinchback, with a company of blacks, occupied the sleeping car which reached Mobile from Louisville. Here was an opportunity for Mr. Pullman to have said to this filthy bubble which has arisen upon the cesspool of Louisiana politics, “You may disturb the United States Senate, but you cannot ride in my car.” Shortly aftertbe train from Jacksonville, Fla., jj|rich arrived in Macon last SaturdaJ^left the former f lace, a large black negro entered the ’ullman sleeping car and presented to the conductor his check* for the upper berth of No. 15.

He accordingly assigned the sable ward of the great republic to his berth.

The issues upon which this political revolution was accomplished were—first, the belief that in every re spect President Grant’s administration had foiled, and the expectation that the democratic party upon acceding to original compact between the States, J r jgi,t» to control our own industry, upon the sacredness of which our J j which we dare maintain, exists po\ bri wer would forefathers founded and pledged the American Union ? ,, . that might which can and shall yet make us a proud and happy people, Yes, the dependence of New Eng land, as well as old England, upon the tropical growth of our country, is even much more than has been claimed in our foregoing statements. And, in deed, to sucii an absolute degree does this dependence obtain, that with the proper manipulation of our Southern agriculture, there can be no false or vaiu hope of relief to our present finan cial embarrassment and political op pression. BlackwoodMagazine, an able and , g leading exponent of English sentiment, in referring, a few years prior to our war, to the cultivation of cotton by the United States, remarked: “ With its increased growth has sprung up that mercantile navy, which now waves its stripes and stars over every sea, and that foreign influence which has placed the internal peace— we iuay say the subsistence of millions in every manufacturing country in Europe—within the power of an oligar chy of planters.” The Loiulon Economist, about the same time, and in speaking on the same subject, quotes as follows: “ I vet any great social or physical convulsion visit the United States, and England would feci the shock from Laud’s End to John O’Gioat’s. The lives of nearly two millions of our coun trymen are dependent upon the cotton crops of America; their destiny may lie said, without any kind of hyperbole, to haug upon a thread. Should any (lire calamity befall the land of cotton, a th iu.-wnd of our merchant ships would rut idly in dock ; ten thousand mills must stop their busy looms; two thou aand thousand mouths would starve, for lack of food to feed them." w j'wjUt was then predicted in regard to.

Still, revolution lias come, such as has shaken onr ag ricultural interest to'its very founda tion, yet, even destroying, with one fell swoop, that system of labor which w«is the very strength and security ,, thereof, and yet how reversed has been the effect from that prophesied ta the •seemingly sure andluevitable result.

We ask, aud with better grounds of proof, if there is not more suffering and-a more cer tain death, in the pursuance of that system of agriculture which makes us absolutely dependent upon other sec tions for our provisions and the neces sary supplies wherewith to live Where, we ask, is the wisdom or sound policy, iu raising such an excess of cotton, as to force the market price therefor below the cost of producing it; where is to be seen, or how can be hoped, our recuperation, in that ap pliance of our industry which reduces the average wages of our labor to one dollar a day per head, and then sub mits us to the mercy of a market pay ing the lowest minimum prices for our products, and requiring for the neces saries of life such maximum prices as are consequent upon their being fur nished from a land where first-class labor commands five dollars per day ?

See That.—The reduction of the wages of our police, has caused one of them to spend much of his time in telling the rest how he use to catch offickens with fish books when in the army. Low wages, like the memories of war, brings fresh to our minds the impressment laws,” the necessary effect of those causes which bring hard times.

One of the depression, is to call public attentidii to the real issues involved and to indi- cateJbe true path of relief. The great problem of labor and ita re-adjustment m this country underlies the whole question of public prosperity, and it M high time that the public mind should be diverted from the delusive hopes of legislative relief to the substantial re form in the application of labor. It . is not long since an eminent professor of Harvard declared that “ to restore the deranged balance of society its old. honor must be rendered back to labor —a sentiment which should be stereo typed in illuminated letters and dis played throughout every land. There can be no question among thinking men that the commercial condition of the country to-day is ultimately to be referred to an unhealthy deficiency of productive industry. It has been 6aid that modern mechanical invention has superseded hand labor and made it secondary to automatic machinery. It is very true that all of the strong men in the world could not do the work ac complished by steam and water power in the single island of Great Britain, and the substitution of machinery for human hands is rapidly progressing. The tim& may come when tbe boasted Briarean steam engine may be sup planted by inventions of tenfold or a hundredfold industrial power. But to conclude from such facts that manual labor is thus to be thrown into the shade, is-one of the most ruinous and not of value, to your 0f re°d® iB ^ this vi«w> aadin *n«iSS£j herewith submit what is j oooniw? twdewiads-^rith^^ humid, warm, aud conseqiWn air at and near the surface 0 f of 1 The great velocity of the O tinnen nurrent of air is reaS men we rememte air with the velocity of fo 8 the earth at the equator, broa4 our latitude, would have anetf motion of more than one miles, per-hour. ■ f This condition, with the be, on top and the lighterteio* T one of unstable equilibrium ? that point where there resistance in the cold <] 0VB air, the warm uumidair freT would rash ramdly upward t«J equilibrium. This ascending of air would create a partial 0 ^ and the air from the — - rushing uld ii whirl or rotation fallacious errors of the age, and one which we sorely need to be disabused of. One of the causes of tfie dishonor now cast on manual,. 'and especially agricultural labor, is traceable to the education of our young. ‘ ; The acade mician is trained for the college or the university, and the collegian is trained with aspirations for the-learned .pro fessions—the bar,- the pulpit, politics medicine or science. They fe would be a waste of talent and a dese cration of genius to step from the uni versity hall to the plough, the lObpvoJ the anvil. Hence the crowded pto&d sions, in which hundreds are reduced to the starvation point, and from which hundreds are annually forced to seek for bread by recourse to new and ad venturous occupations. As it has been so forcibly said, the same recoiling, from hand labor leads thousands to rush into unremunerative and preca rious clerkships and paltry enterprises for which there is no demand, while the soil of the earth is left half tilled aud its mines unopened.. r ■.. In conjunction with these false' al lurements from the slow but sure paths of agricultural and mining industry, the civilization of the century has added another disturbance of labor. The fascinations of the large cities, their excitements and their luxuries;] have i attracted' thither thousands who are useless and dangerous, because of idle elements of society. One of our city ieontentemporaries has strikingly remarked, “ that there were many men Who would not leave ,Nej?
