By order of

Office of GEORGIA STATE >
AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY >
Bacon Ga., June, 187 L )
To the Farmers oj Georgia :
The Executive Committee of th«;
Stale Agricultural Society, and the
Agricultural Convention, impressed
with the importance of the estab
lishment of active, influential and
working Agricultural Clubs in the
various counties and neighborhoods
of the State, as essential to our ma
terial progress, resolved to send a
special Commissioner of high intelli
gence, character, influence andexpe-
Hence, to as many Counties as prac
ticable, 16 urge the people thereof to
form Clubs, and tljus co-operate effi.
cienly in the Work of agricultural
improvement.
For this important office, they se
lected Mr. Samubl Barnett, of
Washington, WUkes County, who i3
a native Georgian, a gentleman of
great worth, a successful planter,
familiar to an uncommon degree
wilb'fMfwSbkltange of Agricultural
subjects, and a clear, ready end in
structive speaker, who has already
entered upon the discharge of bis
dirties, and has donee vast amount
— ■*
pf good towards the practical
hearty cooperation to alum the un
selfish object of tbfe Society, and ex
ert themselves u» sec toe a full .at
tendance at. the time Mr. Barnett
may propose to address you on the
general subject of agriculture. The
people will be largely benefited bv
listening to his judicious coaoeil,
and by adopting the practical sug
gestions which he will ofler.
A. H Colquitt,
President Georgia Stale Agricultural
Society.
Dav. W. Lewis, Secretary.
Morse, the Telegraph Inventor.
It used to be thought that men
had to die to reap any valuable
amount of genuine fame. The
world is now reversing this, as it
has done and is doing numbers of
other long-established and long-ac
cepted matters. Now men who do
great things—genuine great things
we mean—clutch the plaudits of
posterity in the stmiing echoes of
the present, and indulge a realiza
tion ol posthumous glory in the taste
of contemporaneous admiration
Formerly men wrote great books
tiiuj achieved great inventions, and
it took several generations and even
centuries to awaken mankind to
their value, and elevate their authors
10 the pedestal due to their genius.
And in consequence, a va9t quantity
of fame has made the long-buried
bones of some bright human lumin
ous with worldly glorification, while
the poor fellow in his life time lived
in obscurity, reaping but contumely,
and probably died contemned or
mirtyred.
But now anew era has corrected
the injustice wont to be given to
genius, and while it often sets up for
worship a host of false gods, yet it
as often with creditable discrimina
tion discerns the certain admiration
of posterity, anticipates the saga
cious plaudits of future generations,
and gives to greatness of soul and
deed the foretaste of that fame that
comes too late after death to gratify
the hungry greed of ambition or the
lofty aspiration of immortal worth.
It would be hard to tell what the
world owes to Morse, the inventor
of the telegraph. It would be diffi
cult to estimate, aye, impossible.
No man can calculate. What the
telegraph has done for civilization
the brain cannot figure. The chasm
between the world without and with
the telegraph imagination cannot
conceive. It lias revolutionized the
world in every thing. The impetus
it has given to progress is simply in
conceivable. To such a benefactor
of mankind the richest ovations of
fame are his inevitable destiny, it is
in accordance with the spirit of the
age then that Morse is hearing the
mutterings of that destiny of fame
that lies ahead of him so grandly.
The world can stop in its marvel*
ious rush of advancement to honor
him.
At nine o’clock Saturday night a
statue was inaugurated to him in
Central Park, built by the six thou
sand operators of the United Slates
that have employment through his
machless invention, and the people
everywhere recognize its justice, and
the papers teem with laudations of
the benetacior of the human race. *
At this hour fifteen thousand cop
ies of this congratulatory and grate
ful message were sent over the
world:
Greeting to all telegraph opera
tors throughout the world. Peace
on earth ; good ,will to men. God
bless you all.
S. F. B. Morse.
Mr. Morse is eighty years old,
and a hale, hearty gentleman, with
the promise of years belbre him of
life.
The statue erected to him cost
$12,000.
The figure stands erect, with the
right hand slightly raised; a cloak is
thrown over the nglit shoulder and
falls in graceful folds over the arm
to the hand, which is extended and
open. The left arm rests upon a
pedestal, with the hand hanging over
its side, holding a slip of paper
hulding a cabalistic sentence as writ
ten by the telegraph instrument.—
The left foot of the figure is slightly
raised, which renders the position
remarkably easy. The design of
the sculptor in the position of the
figure in general, and in that of the
head and hands in particular, was to
express the idea that the inventor of
the telegraph, on receiving the first
message as the result of his labor,
holds the strip of punctured paper in
his extended hand, and after musing
over it for a moment suffers his left
hand to fall at his side, still holding
the precious scroll, while his right
hand still extended and his head
raised in reverence he utters the
words: “Thank God, my work is
done.”
The statue is seven feet high and
stands on apedestalof the same el
vation.
A number of oar young men have sp
plied for « charter for a lodge of Good
Templars in our city. M. J; Cofer,
Grand Secretary of the Grand Lodge of
the Independent Order of Good Tem
plars, will be here on Thursday or Fri
day of this week to establish a lodge.
Further notice of the day and time will
be given, and let all who are in favor of
Temperance and a mitigation of the
evil of Whisky drinking, meet at the
Court room on the evening of the day,
and perfect so organisation.— Recorder.
