Tolhe WUite Men of Virginia.
Come all ye son3 of freedom,
Who espouse in the cause,
The old Constitution,
With every sacred elanse.
Come let us join together,
Together let us stand,
And out -vote the Leaguer,
And the nigger if we can.
Chorus—
Come, boyr, come, and go along with me,
('ome, boyfi, corne, and a I.eagure you sbal see;
He is now ioihis boat., and wc’lf soon have a tjde
We’ll run him nj> Halt Riv r- with a digger
by his side.
E. N. S.
We once had peace and plenty,
And quietude at home,
With the Nigger in the kitchen,
Before the Leaguer was horn;
But now they have joined together,
Which makes them very strung,
' And are rulingofthe white man,
But cannot rule him long.
Chorus.
()i«r enemies are many',
Os ill my colors too —
The Leagure and the Nigger,
And all the motley crew;
There are Leaguers in Congress,
And Leaguers in jail,
And Leaguers in the pulpit,
That ought to ride a rail.
Chords.
There are Niggers in convention
At Richmond twenty-four—
To form a Constitution
Fur us white men, you know,
I guess when vve see it,
It will be very biaok,
It will look just like a Leaguer,
With a Nigger on his back.
Chorus.
The Nigger Constitution,
The Leaguer and the Rid,
We’ll roll them up together,
And send them to old Thad;
For we love the white man
In it we’ll abide,
So we’ll jump into the wagon,
And all take i ride.
Chorus.
There is another little party,
Ot a milk aud-cider creed,
They will not join the white man.
And they will not join the League;
They think they know their duty,
i think l know mine—
l would not sell my principles,
To a Leaguer, for a dime.
Chorus.
There is some of "this party
Holds otfice at this day,
They are working for the public,
And We have them to pay;
I’ll tell you. milk-and-cider,
Your cause it will not do.
You will see it at the election
We will not vote lor you.

“To ride upon a clean and com

quite a luxury at the present time.
From Washington to Atlanta except

are most wretched apologies for vehic

charging just what they please, I
have however, at length discovered one
road in Georgia on wich a person can
tfavel without having his garments
filled with vermin that have been ac
cumulating there since the outbreak ol
the rebellion. As my fare was duly paid
I can. without being suspected of hav
ing been a dead head,’ give just praise
to the Macon & Western Rail
road.”
And in further compliment to the
same road, the Macon journal Mes
senger says :
“Sleeping Cars.— We cannot re

CONDITION AND RESOURCES
02’ GEORGIA.
BY C. W. HOWARD, KINGSTON, GA.
AGRICULTURE.
The agriculture of Georgia has been
in some respects as bad as it could be.
There has-been no deficiency in intelli
gence, but it has beer, directed wrong ;
nor of energy, for the Georgia cotton
planter, as a general rule, was the most
energetic of men ; nor of income, so far
as immediate returns were concerned ;
hut there was a great deficiency as to
comfort and the permanent prosperity
both of the planter and the Stale.—
Land was hardly regarded as capital to
be increased, but rather as part of cur
rent expenses, and the negro was the
capital. But the land was something
to be used until it was worn out. then
sold for a trifle and abandoned, and the
former owner moved to new lands in
the west, there to repeat the same
process. The course of cultivation has
been generally cotton and corn until
the land refused to bring remunerative
returns of either, when it was rested
with small grain. In a rolling country
of which sand f >rms a large constituent
and therefore vary liable to wash, the
life of the soil was very brief, and a
few years of this cultivation rendered it
useless, and it was then turned out to
be grown up with briars, broom sedge,
and old field pines. Two-horse ploughs
were rarely used, and manure was
seldom applied to any crop, except
cotton seed on corn and wheat. Han
cock county and same of the adjacent
counties should be an exception to the
above general remarks. -There a
course of improvement had commenced
in the advance of which was Mr. David
Dickson, of Sparta, who planted 900
acres in cotton and eight hundred in
corn, besides small grains, the whole
of the 1,700 acres being manured, the
corn with cotton seed and the cotton
with guano, at an annual cost of ten
thousand dollars. This man made
money in the right way. his crops was
heavy, and his land was improved both
in condition and salable value. —
Throughout the State there wiattdmilar
isolated examples. The remaNw made
on the system of agriculture in Georgia
are of general and not universal applL
cation.
U.uler the influence of this system
the planters became as migratory as the
nomadic tribes, and this despotism was
the curse of the State. It tvas a pre->
ventive of permanent and comfortable
improvements, and an enemy to the
sweet ennobling sentiments which cling
to an old homestead. It was a barrier
to the preservation and amelioration of
the soil ; hence landholders in the un
dulating portions of Georgia are left
with an impoverished and gullied s<fil
as their only capital. Emigration is
no longer possible, for they have not
the money with which to buy western
lands nor negroes to work them, and
they must now improve the lands
which they own, or be wholly ruined.
We may thank God that our generous
mother earth, oblidious of the wrongs
done her by her children, will richly
repay every filial effort. The loss of
the planter has been terrible, but with a
climate so genial, a soil so improvable
and yielding products so valuable, it
will be their fault if under anew or
ganization of labor and a*new system
of agriculture they do not attain more
than their former prosperity.
FRHDMEEX.
In many respects the conduct of the
freedmen, since the' war commenced to
the present time, has been remarkable.
Their behavior during the war was
admirable. The wives and children of
the confederate soldiers were at their
mercy ; they knew perfectly well that
their freedom would be the result of the
success of the Federal arms ; no white
men were left at home out of the cities
but infirm men and exempts, neither of
whom were to be feared, yet never
were tfie plantations more faithfully
worked, never were the negroes more
industrious or more deferential to their
mistresses and the children of their
masters. The South owes to them a
debt of gratitude, and alt reflecting and
good men acknowledge it, and will pay
it if left free to act.
After the abolition of slavery it was
feared that the negroes, intoxicated
with their new found liberty, would
rush into excess and riot. The fear
was unfounded f and with few excep
tions they have been quite respectful,
but their freedom has developed the
inherent defects of the race, indolence
and want ok thought for/the morrow.
Hence in many parts of the State they
are unwilling to make contracts for
farming labor, to be paid at the end of
the year in kind or in money, tlieis
food being provided. They are more
willing to work when they can be paid
by the week or month, as they thus
obtain ready money. This difficulty
in making contracts accurs to the great
est extent on the sea coast. In one
instance, on a rice plantation on which
1,000 acres were planted last year, 50
acres were cultivated, and when the
rice was ready for harvest every negro
left the place, the rice was not harvest
ed, and both the planter and the negro
lost the entire erftp. For that very
large interest the owner this year has
ueen able to contract for but twenty
hands. In many other instances they
are unwilling to contract to labor more
than two days in the week. In very
many cases planters have failed to get
any hands at all, and thus large farms
are left wholly uncultivated.
ibis kind of labor, defective as it is,
is rapidly diminishing in Georgia;
comparatively few negro infants will be
hereafter raised. Infanticide was often
prevented on plantations with
extreme difficulty by the most vigilant
care of the mistress. Now, ’ relieved
Irorn the control, and unwilling to be
burdened with the expense and care of
children, when they can hardly find
bread foi themselves, this crime has
become more frequent. Thousands,
both of children and adults, have died
from disease and exposure, it being
their delight to collect about the towns
and cities, where they contract vices
and diseases ; besides, every railroad
train during this winter has been load
ed with negroes going to the west under
promise of increased and the
unfortunate people have in many case*
been made the subject of infamous
speculation. It is estimated that 25,000
negroes have left South Carolina this
winter for Florida and the west, and
the number which left Georgia is much
greater, as for some time the average
number passing through Atlanta has
been 1,000 daily. This depletion of
labor still actively continues, ami it is
a matter of increasing importance to
the planters. They offer ten to twelve
dollars per month, besides food, house,
firewood, arid land for a garden, but the
negroes are promised more in the west,
and accordingl)' emigrate. There must
be a cessation of this emigration and an
increased disposition on the part r f the
negroes to labor for reasonable prices,
or the introduction of new and ieliable
labor must follow. If neither of these
alternatives occur, a very large portion
of the best cotton and rice lands in the
older cotton States must be wholly
unproductive.
COTTON.
The cotton crop of Georgia in 1860
was 701,810 bales ; that of 1860 is esti
mated at 200,000 bales, a decrease of
501,840 bales. A considerable portion
of this decrease is owing to an unpro
pitious season, but much more to the
diminished quantity of land planted and
the defective labor employed in its cul
tivation. Large cotton plantations will
cease to exist in Georgia, except in
rare instances. During the last year,
in a few cases, largo planters have made
a little money over expenses. In most
cases, however, there has been a posi
tive and heavy loss. As an illustration,
one of our most skillful planters bor
rowed $40,000 to enable him to conduct
his two plantations—one of rice, the
other of cotton. His whole crop sold
for $20,000, a loss of $20,000 on the
year’s work.
The experment of conducting large
rice and cotton plantations with the
piesent system of labor has proved a
failure, and few planters will again
venture the experiment.
A plantation working 100 hands and
60 or 70 mules requires a very large
outlay in advance, and such is the
insecurity of labor, so little do the ne
groes observe the obligations of con
tracts, that after all his outlay in the
way of mules, tools, provisions, &c.,
the planter may be left in the midst of
the crop without a hand to work in it.
Under the most favorable instances the
cotton crop of Georgia the coming year
must be very small. The decrease of
hands (between 12 and 65 years of
age) employed since 1863, has been
139,988. Is cotton, then, to cease to
be a staple crop of Georgia? Certainly
not. It must, however, be greatly di
tninishsd for ? term of years until the
system of cultivation is improved and a
more reliable form ol labor introduced.
Having experienced its value, the
human race cannot dispense with the
cotton plant. The writer quotes from
an address delivered by himself some
uses, in its employment of multiform
labor, in its general economical rela
tions to the State, in its capacity foi’the
support of a dense population, this
plant is certainly, of its kind, the most
bountiful boon of a kind Providence.
‘•lt furnishes the sails of commerce
and provides freight for the ships which
they impel ; itgives raiment to the la
borer, the lines with which he guides
his plough, the bed on which he sleeps,
a light to his dwelling in the darkness;
it affords at once the raw material for
almost fabulous machinery, and a lubri
cating oil for it* hinges and joints ; it
is a fertilizer to the soil, and to the
animals which supply the table the
most fattening food yet known to man.
We have not yet ascertained, we prob
ably have not approximated, the exact
; number of pounds of cotton which can
be produced upon an acre of perfectly
cultivated land. Nor have we learned,
by consequence, how a popula
tion to the square mile can be sustained
in a country in which the culture of
this plant is conducted with the
highest degree of agricultural skill.—
Quite certain it is that'no other product
of the soil will give employment and
support directly and indirectly, to a
population so dense as this ‘king’ of the
vegetable world.”
In despite of the gloomy’present,
cotton must be made, but for a term of
years, at least, on small farms and with
a mixed husbandry. One idea is as
hurtful to the soil as the brain.
It is true that cotton is the least ex
hausting of all ploughed or hoed crops.
llow can it be otherwise when every
thing is returned to the soil except ttie
mere lint and cotton ? The leaves and
stalks are of course returned. The
source of nutriment of the plants is
largely atmospheric. The seeds are an
excellent manure for wheat, and corn
alter cotton thrives remarkably, almost
as if it were directly manured. There
is not a cotton seed oil mill in Georgia,
but the seed in its crude state is heaped
up for manure, while a portion of it is
sent to England and to the north to be
manufactured into an oil equal to olive
for the table, and admirable for lubri
cation in its clarified state, and the
manure of animals fed from the oilcake
is far superior, according to English
experiments, to that of animals fed on
our Indian corn, which ranks next in
value. In a rolling country with a
decided clement of sand in its compo
sition, land cultivated in cotton or corn
for a succession of years will wasli and
become exhausted and gullied. But it
is the fault of the farmer, and not of the
plant; any hoed or ploughed crops,
steadily repeated, would produce the
same results.

Pay your ‘ Special Taxes. — The
citizens of Bartow county are notified
that D. S. Ford, lax Collector of said
county, vi ill keep his book open for the
payment of the special tax of one dollar
on the thousand, to be raised to defray
the expense of the Georgia convention,
until the 25th instant. Those who fail
to pay up by that time, will have an
execution issued against them. He at
first thought he could wait till the 10th
of April, but finds that he cannot. So
pay up and save cost.
A Backward Spring.
This is now the 12th day of March,
when every farmer should be diligently
engaged in planting corn, and peach
trees should be in full bloom ; in fact,
the fields and forests should be striving
to look gay, yet nature seems still clad
in her wintry robe. As yet we see but
few signs of returning spring. Scarcely
a bud or blossom is visible, and the
rolling clouds still hang over the hori
zon, as if to stay the warm and genial
rays of the sun, or close the mouths of
the feathered songsters that come to
welcome in’the jubil season. The
winter has been almost unprecedently
wet, cold and disagreeable, and has
caused many additional groans and
signs to escape the lips of our already
despondent people. While we wait
impatiently for the expiring; winter to
pass off, and the advent of delightful
spring, let us remember that the delay
in the change of seisons augurs no
evil. Last year February was the most
delightful and pleasant month we had
between Christmas and summer, the
result was we had no fruit. Remem
ber the saying, “the early bird,” 4’C.,
and let us takecourage and be patient.

Turnpikes.
Some portions ofNorth Georgia, in
all probability, will never be penetrated
by Rail Roads, as the broken and un
even service of the country will render
such enterprises inpraticcable. We
have reference, more particularly to
North East Georgia- Yet there are un
told milions of wealth in that section.
The people there must have an outlet
lor their products. The common gra
ded roads are almost impassable during
the winter season. We must adopt the
next nearest thoroughfare to the rail
roud and that is the turnpike. What a
great convenience to the country would
a turnpike be running from Cartersville
via Fairmount to Eliijay and Dahlon
ega? Who can estimate the value of
such an enterprise? And what addi
tional resources would it add to the al*
ready growing importance of this sec
tion ol the State? Material along ihe
route for the construction of such a
road is abundant, and all that we need
to accomplish the work is the means.
No one can doubt its utility. We sim
ply drop this idea, that while our peo
ple are thinking of improvements and
enterprises, they may give this "subject
some consideiation.

Mrs. Sarah Adaline Hill was born in
Rutherford county, N. C., March 10.
1812, and was raised by pious parents,
in the strict days of early Methodism.
She joined the Methodist church ir. her
10th year, and in her 20th vear was
married to George VV. Ilill, with whom
she lived till her death. Os this pair
were born eight children, three of them
preceded Mrs. Hill to heaven, and five
yet remain with her husband on earth.
She was one of a family,of eight sisters
all ol whom were in many respects,
remarkable women, being well known,
and highly esteemed for piety of
portment and great energv of character.
Mrs. Hill died of dropsy of the chest
on the 20th of Feb. last, having en»
dured very great suffering for several
months. In the midst of these suffer
ings, she became conscious that her
stay on earth was short, and expressed
her abiding trust in Him who had ‘gone
before to prepare a place for her.’ Her
bouy was placed in the family burving
ground in this county, in the presence
of a large company, composed chiefly
of family connections, and there her
mortality was left to “rest in hope,”
beside the graves of her children and
relatives, while her sorrowing living
triends went their way resolved to live
more for that unseen wcrld of which
every dying friend, every opened grave
reminds us. EVANS.
The Favorite, is the name of a No.
one cooking stove sold by Messrs.
Strange, Redding and Ragby, of this
place. We have tried it and know
whereof we assert. It being a flat top
stove requires a direct draft, therefore
it does not do so well t with a crooked
pipe. Otherwise it cannot be beat. If
you want a good cook-stove, call and
see these gentlemen.
