THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 2, 1875.
Ai ei'ST REPORT OF THE
AOKim/n iCAI. HE.
PAitT.nuvr.
The State Agricultural Department,
under the able management of our fel
low-citizen, Hon. T. P. Janes, is doing
a vast amount of good, and is destined,
at no distant day, to work a complete
revolution in the agriculture of the
State. The lust report, which is very
full and comprehensive, abound? in in
structive and interesting information.
In addition to a stateuient of the gen
eral condition and average of the vari
ous crops throughout the State, the
Commissioner has elicited and presents
facts upon farm economy which are
worthy of careful consideration. Would
that the report was in the hands of
every farmer in Georgia. Had we the
•space we would gladly lay it before our
readers in full, but it is out of the
question, and, hence, we can only give
space to certain salient features which
we trust will he sufficiently suggestive
to awaken our people to serious reflec
tion. We quote from the report:
‘‘Only 20 per cent, o f the farmers buy
entirely for cash, while those who buy
on a credit pay at the enormous rate of
44 per cent, per annum interest on
what they consume, amounting, in the
aggregate, iu the State of Georgia, to
the astonishing sum of §4,250,000 —
four mid a quarter millions dollars paid
by the farmers in interest on what they
consume. Is it remarkable that farm
ing is not profitable under such a suici
dal policy? No legitimate business can
pay 44 per cent, per annum on the cap
ital necessary to conduct it, and live.
Another instructive lesson taught by
(lie above answers is the fact that 80
per cent, of those who raise their sop
plies make a profit, while 75 per cent.
of those who buy lose money. Let us
put these facts together, and study the
lessons taught by them:
Ist. Only 20 per cent, of the farm
ers pay cash for what they buy.
2d. Those who buy on a credit pay
sn avernga of 44 per cent, per annum
interest on the cash prices.
•3d. The farmers of Georgia pay, in
interest on supplies—nearly all of which
can be raised on their farms—the sum
o/U ,250,000, which is more than
of the bonded debt o f Georgia , and is
14 per cent, of the valua of the entire
cotton crop of the State.
4th. 80 por cent, of‘Chose who raise
their supplies make a profit, while 75
per cent, of those who buy, lose.
These are startling facts, which tak
en in connection with thoso developed
in previuus reports from this Depart
ment, viz: that the farmers of Georgia
anuually lose, by the injudicious pur
chase and use of fertilizers, more than
12,000,000, and that one great branch
of industry, sheep husbandry, one of
!hc avenues of escape from onr enibar
rassments, is absolutely prohibited, by
the absence of necessary legislation and
the consequent tax of 15 per cent, of
the whole number of sheep in the State
to feed dogs, demand the serious con
sideration of our farming community.
What are the remedies for these
blights upon our industry?
The diflGculties teach their own les
sons, and suggest their own remedies:
Ist. Experience and theso facts
tea oh that, raising cotton to hug sup
plies .to raise cotton , at present prices,
leads directly to bankruptcy and ruin.
2J. That those who raise their own
supplies make cotton at a profit , and
are prorperous. Indeed, correspond
ents generally report that those who
raise their own supplies cannot lose
money, \l they attend to their busi
ness.
2d. That borne manure* must be hus
banded, concentrated, and judiciously
applied.
4th. That the farmers must demand
such legislation as will remove the pres
ent prohibition upon sheep-husbandry.
With only 370,492 sheep in Georgia,
the annual loss by dogs, valuing the
sheep at only 81.30 per head, is SS3,-
457, which is a mere trifle compared
to the amount lost to the State by the
preventio® of sheep raising.
To sum up the whole in a few words,
the farmers, to he prosperous, must—
-Ist. Cease to buy supplies that can
be raised on their farms.
2d. They must cease to buy fertilizers,
except to supplement home manures,
carefully husbanded under shelter.
3d. They must reduce their planting
down to a cash basis. •
4th. They mast demand such a tax
upon dogs and such protection from
their ravages as will enable them to
raise wool and mutton, and thus utilize,
almost without labor, their at present
waste or useless lands.
The remains of General John C.
Breckinridge have been removed from
the vault where they were placed at
the time of his funeral, and buried in
ihc Lexington. Kentucky, cemetery.
Tlie Problem of the Xegro’a
Future.
[From the St. Louis Republican.]
Why is it that all efforts to attract
immigration to the Southern States
have been signal failures? There are
no fairer regions on the continent than
Virginia, Kentucky and Tennessee;
there is no place in all the North
where an industrious white man can
make more money, with the same
amount of labor, (ban on the cotton
lands of Mississippi, or in the sugar
districts of Louisiana, But though
choice lands in Mississippi and Louisi
ana may be had from §5 to §lO per
acre, though farms in Arkansas, Ala
ban:n and South Carolina may be had
for next to nothing, there is not, and
has not boen sinca the war, any immi
gration whatever into the negro States,
with the exception of Missouri.
Texas, it is true, is filling up with
new settlers, but they come from other
Southern States; and all the migration
that is seen in the South is either a
movement of whites to the North, or a
transfer of whites and blacks from one
Southern State to another, no influx of
population from the North or from
abroad is observable. The conclusion
which these singular facts irresistibly
force is that the inert, immovable negro
population in the Southern States is an
impassable barrier to immigration. If
the 512,000 blacks now in Virginia
could be transferred to lowa, the two
States would change places; immigra
tion would poor into the white State
of Virgiuia, and avoid the black State
of lowa, and the Northern position and
oharacter of ths latter State would not
avail to change the eurrent.
“Indeed, the fact that whites from
the North and abroad refuse to go into
the South no less now than before
emancipation, proves that it was not
slavery, but the presence of the black
race that lias caused the inferiority of
those States to their Northern sisters
in wealth and power. If the blacks7n
the South were assimilable with our
composite race, as other people are, or
if they were as insignificant in numbers
as they are in the Northern States, the
force of circumstances would settle all
difficulties. But when there arc4,ooo,
000 blacks in the South—when there
are five blacks to seven whites in Vir
ginia, one black to every white in
Louisiana, four blacks to tlirco whites
in Mississippi, and four blacks to two
whites in South Carolina; and when it
is reflected that it is the nature of the
negro race to become so rooted in the
soil that nothing but forco can detach
him from it—the future of our rela
tions with this separate and inferior
race is found to be enveloped in diffi
culty and uncertainly.
On one band logic and abstract right
require that, in a Republic, all men
should be equal; but the opposition
which the Republican North presents
to the civil rights law, and its manifest
determination to overthrow it, prove
conclusively that whites and blacks in
this country are Bot equal, and that the
whites arc resolved they shall not be
Whether the two raec3, thus socially
and logically separate, should not be
geographically separatod—whether it
will not become necessary to surrender
a portion of the South to the negro to
save the other portions—-whether, in
deed, the negro himself is not now
forcing things in this direction—arc
questions which, within ten yens, per
haps, we shall have to consider and de
cide.
.4 Piece el' Secret History.
Ex-Gov. Vance of North Carolina
delivered an address before the South
ern Historical Society at Greenbrier
White Sulphur Springs Va, on the
18th u!t. The Richmond Dispatch,
has a report of'it, from which the fol
lowing is taken:
Alluding to the fact that much has
been said about the presence of" an un
ruly disloyal Union sentiment in North
Carolina during the war”and “the pre
valence of the unjust impression that
North Carolina could beeasily detached
from her duty to her confederates,’' Gov
ernor Vance said that “it seemed there
were sonic who presumed upon it far im
portant purposes.”
“Soon after the failure of the Hamp
ton Roads conference I was visited by
Governor Graham, whoso death we so
recently deplore, who was then a Sena
tor of the Confederate States. After
giving all particulars of that conference
which had not appeared in the papers,
and the prevailing impressions of Con
gressional circles about Richmond, etc.
he infirmed me that a number of lead
ing gentlemen there, despairing of ob
taining peace through Mr. Davis, and
believing the end inevitable and not do*
tant, had requested him to visit me and
urge me as Governor of North Carolina
to take steps for making separate terms
with Mr. Lincoln, and thus inaugurate
the conclusion. Grovcrnor Graham re
marked that he had agreed to lay their
request before me without promising to
dd hi personal advice thereto -
“I asked who these gentlemen were,
and with some reluctance he gave me
their names—chiefly Senators and Rep
resentatives in the Confederate States
Congress. I asked why these gentle
men did not begin negotiations for
their own States with the enemy, and
if they would come out in the papers
with this request to me.
“He said they would not take the in
itiative. They were so surrounded at
home, and so trammelled by pledges,
etc., as to render it impossible. Ide
dined the proposition, of course, and
asked him to say to those gentlemen,
with my compliments, that in the moun
tains of North Carolina, where I was
reared, when a man was whipped he
had to do his own halhxiiug; that the
technical word ‘enough’ could not be
cried by proxy. This secret piece of
history will serve to show that there
was a faintness of bonrt and a smiting
together of the knees iu other parts of
the South outside of North Carolina.”
