Notice.— All the newspapers and periodicals,

and quarterly, In the United States, are

ewer is received—then present tlieir account for

To the Planters. — Under this head the follow
ing article is published In the Augusta Chronicle,
it is from the pen ot one ol the incit virtuous and
distinguished oi Georgia’s citizens :
Certain letter writers, newspaper correspondents
and lecturers, who have constituted themselves
special guardians ot the planters of Georgia, have
recent y been flooding the State with advice, which
is equally barren ot financial w;s.don: and sound
morality. Cue says hold your cotton for higher
price's—another, keep your cotton until your fac
tors agree to give you twenty cents per piound:
tLe price will go up to that point, and you are en
titled to it.
Now, n tli. case of a planter who bas produced
his cotton rolely upon his own rcscources this
poliev nay do well enough. He has the moral
and legal rH’ht to hold and take the risk. But
what propot ion of all t; e i.t. i> ;r the State ate
la this condition? Do the sage advisers of the
planters, above alluded *.•.•, know that a large roa
: ty oi the plantei ■ been enabled to make
these advances by lost:? from the banks, aud that
the advances to planters and loans to actors ma
ture generally on or about the Ist of November ?
Do they know that unless the planter meets his
obligation to his tactor the latter cannot meet his
obligation to the ba it:*?
I)o they know that unless the factors obliga
tions are properly met they, the banks, will be ut
terly powerle s to provide currency to move the
cotton ? Do they know from such a state ot thing**
most eeesaa j gnat it nin com
merce sud paralysis of industrial pursuits? If
they do not kuow these things let them go back
to school to learn something of the course ot busi
ness in this country—ot the natural dependence
aud connection of different industrial pursuits—
before they undertake the role of teachers. If they
know them, let them return to the Sunday school
and learn something of the obligation of promises,
ol the maintenance of personal integrity, before
they assume the sacred office of keepers of other
men’s consciences. Verily, verily, one knows not
which most to admire, the financial wisdom or
the moral probity of these noisy advisers.
Not a word to the honest, clear sighted planters
who have sought aid at commercial points to make
their crops. When you borrowed money from
your factors and gave your notes payable on the
first of November, or on some later day, did you
make it a condition of prompt payment that yon
should get ten cents or stipulated price
for vour cotton ? If yon did EOt, have you the
legal or moral right when pay day comes, without
the factors consent, to add ilr.s condition to your
contract made six, or eight, or ten months before ?
Will you burden your consciences with such a
flagrant breach ot faith upon the chance (perhaps
fallacious at last) cf getting five cent" more per
pound for your cotton.
To do so would be to falsify the estimate of
personal ihtegrity upon which you procured the
advance. Those who so advise you . tlieve more
In the *'almighty dollar'' hoarded ca earth than
in *• treasure laid up in Heaven, where neither
moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where th.eves do
not break through nor steal.” It the writer prop
erly understands the character ot the p,anlers ot
Georgia, as a class, they will throw such immoral
councils to the winds, and show themselves enti
tled to the proud boast, 44 my record is my bond.”
It there be a few ,'aud I hope there are none)
Inclined to adopt the advice, I have stiu another
question lor them, -re you very sure that asy
probable increase of price you may get by break
ing faith with your factors will enable you unaid
ed to make the next crop? If you break the faith
upon which you got belt' to make this, whence
do you expieet to get help for the ntxt? Honesty
It not only itself a jewel beyond price, bn. it is
the best policy. I you have failed, owing to ad
verse ci: cumstances, to meet your obligations, pay
what you c n and your factors and all good m ;a will
•ympiihlxr with you and help you again. But it
>c u speculate upoa broken prom - -s l and mined
factors, you must meet a fearful reckoning.
Face the Future.
To eft in idlenesa and brood OTer ue misfor
tunes of the psst is both foolich and unwise. The
past is beyond recall. As well might you try to
restore the dried up mummy to life and beauty as
to live over the past and correct tbe mistakes,
mend the errors and bind up the wounds made.'
It is gone, buried in the deep bosom of tbe ocean
of time, beyond the hope or power of resurrection,
and is as worthless as a day-dream of fancy, ex
cept as an example for the present and future. To
back into the future with your face towards the
past is to -tumble through life and repeat the er
rors thet experience should haTe taught yon to
avoid. Let the past go, to waste idly time wish
lng its re.ura is to L’.md yourself to the realities
of the present and fit* you for nothing but a hope
less wanderer in the future. Look ahead ! If you
have seen trouble, turn your back upon it and
press forward, determined to deserve and win suc
cess. Some people never recover from a misfor
tune, once down they remain so forever. They
make no effort to recuperate or gain the high po
sition that eveiy creature, who is not an idiot,
fool, or knave is entitled to. Tney prefer to keep
down, and appear to enjoy a 6ecret and strange
satistaction In telling others what they have been,
and what they might, have been had good fortune
smiled upon them. 44 Every man is the architect
of bis own dtstiny.” Olhets 6hake eff trouble as
a duck would the- water. It has no other effect
than to make them a trifle wiser. Yon can’t keep
them do.vn, knock them off their feet, and they
are up and go ahead as bravely as if nothing bad
happened. Ail they atk is health and strength.
Their touiage is equal to every emergency. Like
tbe blooded rccr, though distanced at the start
they never yield until tfiej homestind is gained.
In a word, thc-y do their beat under all circum
stances, and in dci: g this generally do well. It
is bad enough lor an old man, who haR put forth
his strength and failed, to become discouragtd
and drit. Into the ratl ing current of late with no
eff rt to stem it; but ior a young man, or one in
h.s prime, who has brain and muscle in periect
order, to give up and drift with a tide that he
could easily overcome, 1- without the shadow of
an excuse. \\ hat ft you have lost money, or
failed in bn. im sa ? t ,u these tr fiir.g troubhs
excuse idleness when extra exertion is required?
Yesterday has fled !iom your reach; to-day is
yours; to-morrow may be full of sunshine to
yoar darkened hope . Let the pisi, go; rtar a
tombstone over it i! you please, Out cease to dwell
over its grave The world is before you ; ripened
fields awaits your labor ; you may u trieve all and
win even more than you had. The little vexations
of tile are but the axe-strokes that chip and de
face the young oak, end fail to retard its growth,
Nature Leals the wound and the young tree grows
to its fu 1 proportion. So the vital elements of
man’s life, it hope remains uncrushed, will heal
the wounds of tbe past, and out cf the failure of
yesterday weave ti e glorious triumphs of to-day
cr to morrow.

Compensation for Slave?,—Hon. K M. T.
Hunter claims that that part of hia speech touch
ing compensation for slaves has been misunder
stood and misrepresented. He explains thus:
Why not deposit the amount of $400,000,000,
mentioned by Mr. Lincoln upon the principal of
the deposit act, upon which the surplus revenue
was deposited with the States ? L>ke that, let
the deposit be made without iuterest. and to be
recalled only on the same contingencies. When
this is done let the State do justice amongst the
individual shareholders. What it the General Gov
ernment should fail to have it restored? The act
would only be one of justice to these who were
unjustly aud unconstitutionallyj'despoiled. If it
were not returned,"no injustice 'would be done,
for those who would retain it were justly entitled
to it. Nor could it be well opposed on constitu
tional grounds. The original spoliation without
compensation was unjust and unconstitutional;
this use of‘the national revenue would serve to
remedy and undo that original wrong, so far as
Justice is concerned. The whole action ol the Gen
eral Government in regard Jto slavery was extra
constitutional, antt-whcre something extra consti
tutional was necessary to be done to
injustice in that action, it will not do to plead the
Constitution in bar of that remedy if it has been
no obstacle to the original wrong. Upon the val
uation of §400,009,000 for the entire slave proper
ty ot the country the share of Virginia would be
between forty aud fifty million*. # n # * *
Let the General Government distribute this sum
amongst the States according to the number of
negroes emancipated within their borders, and let
the Stales distribute their quota amongst the de
spoiled slave-holders.
The first impression was that Mr. Hunter pro
posed io secure compensation by an amendment
to the Constitution. His present idea seems to
be a llmk oavimi-nt outside of’that horribly bat
tered instrument.
Meanwhile, the Cincinnati Commercial proceeds
to make capital against the Democratic party out
of Mr. Hunter’s utterance. It says :
Of course, if slavery aud slaveholders could not
be b’atned for the war, the first thing that could
be done upon the return of the Democracy to
power is to pay our breiheron for tbe property in
man they lost by reason of violence. Col. Allen
sbou and uot forget in lii3 annual ’message if he
would strike a chord that would sound through
the land.
Once more:
Our distinguished old friend ex-S scalar Hunter,
of Virginia, is living, and occasionally fails to
preserve silence. One o ' the last times he opened
hi* mouth in public he was very sad because the
Southern people had been robbed of their slaves
during the war, and it was his judgment that'it is
a great shams they should not be paid lour hun
dred millions of dollars, at least. Perhaps it is a
great Democratic principle to pay four or five
hundred millions of dollars for the emancipated
-laves of our Southern bretheren. Some light on
the subject may be obtained when our Democrat
ic General Assembly meets,
y ‘
Aud finally .
A little resolution '.adopted by the Democratic
General Assembly of Ohio this winter, demand
ing that enough greenbacks be printed to pay
over to our Southern bretheren who lost slaves
during the nuhappy war five hundred millions of
dollar?, would go a great way. Asa measure of
conciliation it'might be well for our revitalized
Democracy to try it. Definition of doctrine is
demanded, and we hope the High Priests of the
New Dispensation will not be backward in declar
ing their great principles.
The Richmond Dispatch appears to apprehend
that Mr. Hunter’s discussion ot this subject will
hurt the parry. Well, if the party cannot stand
the ventilation of a subject well worthy of con
sideration; and if such sneers of the enemy can
create havoc in the ranks of the faithful, Democ
racy had better dissolve. It was declared that
Jeff Davis’ speech would kill Allen in Ohio, but
it did not do anything of the sort. If Mr. Hunter’s
trank utterance has no more effect, there is really
no cause for undue rattling of raw-heads and dry
bones. —.1 ufiueta Constitutionalist.
A correspondent Of the Union and Recorder,
over the signature ol Cherokee, has the following
to say in regard to moving the capital from
Atlanta:
Asa citizen and tax-payer of this State, I wish
to entsr my protest against the Capital remaining
in Allan's, for more reasons than one. It was re
moved troin your city to Atlanta by fraud, which
Las cost the State thousands of dollars, and if it
remains there will cost many thousands more an
nually than it would if it were iQ Miiledgeville
We have a Capital building and aii other necessa
ry bandings, and they are in good repair, in your
city. The expenses c i tbe Legislature in Milledge
ville will L-c much less than in Atlanta. Yoar so
ciety is much b. t er and is much more [central.
If ihe question shomd ever come before the peo
ple again on it? own merits, and property under
stood, North Georgia would vote for MiliedgeTille.
This may appear sirac.e to some who have not
mired wit a the people o! North Georgia as much
as I have. I know what I say to be so. i
hope a convention of the. citizens, one or more j
trom each county in the State, will hold a meet
ing and take steps to bring this thing fairly
and squarely belore the tax-payers of the State.
Can’t this be done?-I will never vote for a man
it I know t who is in favor ot the Capital remain
ing where it is.
Stat Laws. —Tbe Gaiusville Eagle, contains a
sensible article on the above subject. It would
scan that the experience of both debtor* and
creditors, forthe last ten or twelve vears,[would
be sufficient to array them against its adoption.
Says the Eagle: The derangement of business
caused by the late panic, has induced certain per
sons in different part* of the 'country ,to again
raise their voices for a stay law. They argue that
the people are unable to pay their debts because
cotton does not command its value. We are op
posed to any more stay laws. We are reaping
now a harvest of bankruptcy and ruin, brought
about by suspension of laws requiring men to meet
their honest obligations at maturity. Stop the
collection of a debt against a man lor a year, and
he wants it two years ; stop it two years, and he
gets to thinking it ought to be repudiated. We
are willing to let by-gones be by-gone*, but from
this time forward never want to*ee the collection
ol honest debts suspended for one moment. Few
er men have been known to break and become
bankrupted and ruined by being required to meet
their obligations at maturity than there are on
turning loose the law after a suspension and an
accumulation of interest lor five or ten years.
Stay laws only have the effect to lure men into
dishonest devices to avoid honest obligations ;
they are of no benefit to the people, and we nev
er want to see oar statue books disgraced with
another.
