!’>; JOSEPH E. BROWN,
Governor of Georgia.
T> the Officers avd Members
of the General Assembly:
1 am satisfied that developments have
dearly shown the necessity for further
legislation at an early day, to secure the
use of ail our productive labor this year, in
die cultivation of our lands in grain, and
other articles, n ecessary to sustain life,
and not in cotton, tobacco or like produc
tions, and to prevent the destruction of ar
ticles of food, by distillation.
As the public exigencies do, therefore,
in my opinion, require, that the General
Assembly convene at an earlier day than
vaded by the enemy, and how
wdl enjoy this exemption no man can say.
IIow about your horse power? Do you not
know that it is greatly diminished from
last j-ear? If you have not lost any
horses ormulesa, re they not less valua
ble to you than they were a year ago?
Lvery farmer knows, that for every horse
or mule of his that dies, 30 acres of ground
remains uncultivated. It is safe to say
that the horse power of the country is at
least twenty per cent less than it was a
year ago. And how about the manual la
bor iti the field? Thousands and tens of
thousands of inen who helped
last year’s crops arc now in the army.
Many more are sick or wounded, or disa
bled. Many negroes have left Ibo field
for the workshops of the country, where

interesting to the Southern reader as an

are forbidden all manner of intervention
