[From the Madison Auditor.
TO THE PEOPLE OF GEORGIA.
Farmers' Convention at Macon, Dec. Sth,
1868. :
The undersigned were appointed a
committee, at & meeting of Agricultur
alists held in the city of Eatonton, Ga.,
at the late Agricultural Fair in Putnam
County, to address you on the subject of
Linmigration, and to ask yeur co-opera
tion. It was agreed to hold a meeting
in the City of Macon, at the City Hall,
at 10 o'clock, a. m., on Wednesday the
9th day of December, ensuing, compos
ed of one Delegate, at least, from each
County in the Staté;to devise and set
on foot the best plan for all the different
sections of Georgia, to promote immigra
tion from the Northern States and
Europe, as will furnish the best labor on
the best terms, for the improvement and
development of all the varied interests
of Georgia and Georgians. Touching
the immediate subject of immigration,
the committee de:m it bestnot to pro
posé any plan of action in this address,
but to leave the whole question to the
Convention—and we simply urge a full
attendance at the Convention.
This, People of (Georgia, is ne small
work, nor isit a Utopian idea. And
now is the time for the woerk to begin.
It has alrcady bcen delayed too long,
and if deferred still will only end in
greater injury.
Farmers of Georgia! the burden
rests mainly only on your shoulders.—
Others are to be benefittedin a corres
ponding ratio—but it devolves mainly
upon you to “put the ball in motion.”"—
Co-oporation is what we need. This to
be effected by full and free discussion of
the whole question. This can be had
at Macon at the. time specitied. We
cerdially invite you, therefore, Farmers
of every County in Georgia, to appoint
ene or more Declegates to represent
your interest in the Convention at Ma
éon, and toaid in the work. We must
not wait. There is too much danger in
delay. Too much sacrifice in postponc
ment. Send the best mea you can get,
and let the geod work commence. It
will take months to accomplish the fi.st
step in the enterprise. It is all impor
tant to begin right. One false step
may be productive of incalculable mis
chief. Our present labor, frem the
signs of the times, will, in a few years
more, be almost worthless. It is not the
sort of labor we need now. Itis inade
quate, unskilled and unreliablo, and be
coming mere so every ycear,
Maryland is awake! Virginia is
aroused! Missouri, Texas and Arkan
sas are all moving ! Georgians! we
too must begin, if we would save our
good old State, eurselves and our chi
dren from abject poverty. Our invi
tation is in earnest—the crisis is near;
the results certain and glorious, if we
begin right—Dbegin in time, and act
throughout with wisdom. Let us have
representatives frozs ev mat
Macon. And let us the:{fld ' in
augurate a system of laber which shall
regain our lost prosperity. It and it
alone will be our salvation. ‘
* The redemption of Georgia from pov
erty, now upon her, the improvement of
her lands, the development of all her
great and varied resaurces, is the work
to be accomplished, It can be done.—
This work must have a beginning.—
This.is the object of the Convention at
Macon. There is not labor enough in
the State to accomplish a tithe of what
may be done, with proper management.
In addition to all the labor we now have,
we need hundreds of thousands of skill
ed laborers from abroad for this great
work. And, in conjunction with this
labor we shall need eapital and capital
ists. Let us invite them, toe, from the
North and from Europe, if the Conven
tion deews it best to do so. ‘
" Benot lukewarm upon this subject,
for thisis the gelden opportunity to
make a beginning. No work can be
half so important for us or our children. I

THE METEORIC TRAIN.,
From the Observatory at New Haven
comes the following interesting state
ment in explanation of this brilliant
phenomenon, more wonderful from the
very statement :
“It is now two years and ten menths
since the comet which is supposed to
lead this group of meteors crossed the
carth’s orbit. That was in January,
1866 The stream travels at the rate
of 25 miles a second, or between eight
and nine huudred thousand millions of
milesin & year. Someidea of its length
may be obtained from this. When it
will end is a matter of conjecture. In
the years 1866 and 1867, its width
where the earth passed through it was
about the same. Then the average
count per minute, both here and in EKng
land, was 250. In both of those years
tho group was denser than this year.—
Last year the meteors were more bril
fiant than on Friday night, but they did
not appear so on account of the presence
of the moon. Last evening single me
tcors appeared much brighter than last
vear, and they alse appeared brighter
the first part of the night than af
terward. During the display, Prof.
Newton was able to make and record ob
servations in & very full and satisfactory
manner.”
THE GORILLA. i
The following deseription of the Gor
illa is from & recent Lecture delivered
by Dr. Lemercier in New York :
“Though not quite so tali as the aver
uge man, the gorilla is far more power
ful than Heenan, having, sccording to
Da Chaitlu, the strength of eight able
bodied men. The diiferences between
man and the gorilla are very striking,
The latter cannot stand upright, ewing
to the structure of his spinal column;
his arms are longer, and his legs ure
shorter than those of the human species ;
in walking he commonly uses the back
of his hands, placing them flat upon the
ground; he has thirteen pairs of ribs,
and the female fourteen, whereas man
has but ten; he has several muscles
which are not found in man; he has
“bagpipes” under his arms, cennccting |
with his windpipe and glottis, and byf
compressing these with bis arms he can
make a noisc more terrible than the up
roar of a thousand ragmen. and whichl
can be heard, according to the testimony
of M. Du Chaillu, at a distance of thrca}
miles and more, Ilis hand is greatly in
ferior to the human hand, and, bcaides,l
there exists a multitude of minor differ
ences in other organs. But what places |
man far above the gorilla is the vast
saperiority of the human brain and head.
The gorilia has a better developed head
than the lion, and when young his cran
ium has a great resemblance to that of 2
child. But afterward, thongh there is
an immense growth of the bene, there is
no expansion of the cavity of the skull,
and consequently none of the brain.
The gorilla has been made a savage
inhabitannt of the forest, and is adapted
for rapidly ascending trees. His chest
and muscles are marvellous, and if the
animal had had the wisdom and cunning
of man, the African race would long
since have been swept from their native
soil. In connection with the gorilla’s
chest, Dr. Lemercier said that the
strength of apy apnimal whatever is ac
cording to the developiment of the chest,
and took occasion ouce mere to impress
upen his audience the benefit which re
sulted to children from strengthening
their lungs by gymnuastic exercises.”
