THE TALI.OKAS SOCIETY.
The reader will perceive hy the letter
which wc publish to-ilny, from an intelli
gent planter of the Taliokas District of
this county, that the planters in that sec
tion, assisted by their neighbors in the
counties of Colquitt and Thomas, have
organized a flourishing Agricultural So
ciety, with headquarters at the village of
Tallokas. This is a wise and judicious
movement, and if proper interest is taken
In the meetings of the Society, will re
dound to the material and social welfare
us the planter. As to the permanency of
tin. Society, we have a guarantee in the
Judicious selection of officers: They are
experienced planters and intelligent, en
ergetic. determined gentlemen.
Our eorrespnltdent presents the true
theory hy which the planters can be re
lieved of the oppressive burthens that
have anuoyod and perplexed them for
years: the organization of agricultural
societies, for the free interchange of
Opinions and inculcation of knowledge,
and abandonment of t he blind allegiance
that is, and has been for years paid to
“King Cotton.” The planter must be
impressed with the necessity, first, of
nurturing and enriching bis soil, by the
use of home-made fertilizers, and second
ly, of raising everything, within himself,
necessary for homo consumption. First
secure the necessaries of lift'; and then
devote all surplus land and labor to the
production (of cotton. This system of
farming is the only one by which the
planters of the South will be relieved of
their burth us, and bo enabled to throw
off the yoke as “hewers of wood and
drawers of water.” The organization of
agricultural societies, “Granges,” Ac,,
und the liberal Circulation of periodicals,
will prove the corner stone of agricultur
al prosperity and independence.
Wo invite our intelligent correspon
dent to frequently favor the readers of
the Banmkic wit h letters from his section
of the county.
Journalistic Injustice.
The editor of the Albany Central City,
in his last issue, says that Col. Styi.kb, of
the Nei»», ’proposed at the late Press
Convention at Ainorieus, “that the pro
prietor of the Albany Central City be ex
pelled from said body, on account of
having violated the established rules of
the Association,” and indulges in very
discourteous < nth-ism. The accusation
docs Col. Styles great injustice, although
we are inclined to believe, unintentional.
Col. Styles arraigned several members of
the Association for a violation of the
rules, and among the nmnU'r the Central
City, but distinctly stated that he did not
wish to appear captious, but merely to
call the attention of offenders to the ne
cessity of rigidly enforcing and respect
ing every law of the Association. Ilis
fight, according to our understanding,
was not against any journal, or number
of journals, but for the Association and
its laws. His sole object appeared to be
to correct evils, and not to create strife;
although he very properly declared, that
if members of the Association persist' and
in a violation of the rules, it would la'
necessary to expel. In this he was right
—and we feel satisfied stands endorsed
by a vast majority of the Association.
The Governor*’ Convention.
It is generally coueeded that the con
vention of Governors and other dignita
ries, which convened at Atlanta on the
20th and adjourned on the '2lst, was a
grand failure. A committee appointed
to take into consideration the business
for which the Convention assembled,
made 'majority aiid minority reports.
The former set forth the necessity of fa
cilitating cheap transportation from the
West to the Atlantic ports, and recom
mended a memorial to Congress, asking
government aid in the construction of
three lines of water transportation. The
minority report, whilst approving of the
enterprise, advised that the canals la 1
constructed and con troll'd by the gov
c rumen t. The majority report was
adopted, and convention adjourned.
The Polaris Mystery.
The New York papers express grave
doubts as to the truth of the statements
of the crew of the Arctic exploring vessel,
die Polaris, who were found upon the
ee. They believe that Capt. Hall was
poisoned, and when Buddington assumed
•ommund of the vessel, he purposely
tbnndoni'd the parties found on the ice
ergs. It is said that the rescued party,
nd those still with the Polaris, were on
cry 1 .ad terms, and vjuamded every day.
greet mystery surrounds the matter,
ui it is doubtful whether it will ever be
•cared, aw.iy.

Despotism in Louisiana.
President Grant’s proclamation, re
quiring the citizens of Louisiana Jto sub
mit to i.h>' usurpations of the carpet-bag

is one of the most infamous measures
that over emulated from the Washing
ton government/ The proclamation, as
remarks the Savannah News, has in it
the clear ring of a tone that is not to be
mistaken bears upon its face the evi
dence of a purpose that is not to be
misunderstood. It is not alone a warn
ing to the people of Louisiana, but to
the people of the whole Union. It warns
the people of every State alike (lmt they
are not to resist successful usurpations.
It tells tln.m that they are to recognize as
constitutional tho government that may
happen to he foisted upon (hem through
fraud at the ballot-box and corruption
on the bench. It tells them that the
military force of the country will bo put
in motion to uphold and sustain the ed
icts of reckless adventurers and usurpers.
It. imforms them that they are to quietly
submit to gee their treasuries
their commerce crippled and their busi
ness ruined by the extortions of tithe
gatherers.
Wherefore, it, behooves us all to set
our houses in order for the coming of the
conqueror —to stand at the gates of
Freedom and bid him welcome. ITowbe
it, it depends somewhat upon the stuff
that is in us whether the welcome bo so
norous with strife or complacently truc

TIIE INDIAN FORAYS ON THE
RIO GRANDE.
Formidable Haiti of United States
Troops into Mexico-
San Antonio, Texas, May 22.—A let
ter from Brockettsvillc, Kinney county,
Texas, dated May 20, states that the di p- I
redations and murders by the Kickapoo
Tipton and other Indians have culmina
ted in extreme measures on the part of
our troops, necessitating tho invasion of*
Mexican territory to punish tho savages.
Gen. McKenzie, commanding at Fort
Clark, after scouring the country on this I
side in vain to catch the plunderers, who
would divide up and disappear like
myths, determined to hunt them down
in their retreat on the Mexican side at
any risk. On Saturday, the 17th, all the
available cavalry force under his com
mand, six hundred strong, was put ill
motion with experienced guides, and by !
ft forced march of eighty miles into the
interior of Mexico, reached the camp of
the Kiekapoos at early dawn, having
been forty-eight hours in the saddle, and j
twenty-four without food or water, being j
compelled on the march to throw every |
utensil and 'accoutrement away that ;
could impede the advance.
The Kickapoo camp was charged at
dawn, and the Indians, being surprised,
made but slight, resistance, the greater
portion of them attempting to escape to
the mountains by flight, hi the encoun
ter nineteen warriors were killed and
about an equal number wounded. Forty
squaws were captured, and one hundred
horses and other property stolen by the
Indians recovered. The troops lost three
-one killed, two mortally wounded.
McKenzie safely crossed the Rio Grande
with the spoils of war at Van Green’s,
the principal guide’s rancho, where ra
tions were forwarded. Tho captured
squaws are mostly wives of a band of
forty Nueces, now on a depredating tour
in the lower counties. The Mexican
frontier authorities are greatly excited
over this daring invasion by the. United
States troops, and have assumed a very
hostile attitude. Apprehensions of hos
tilities between the countries are rife
among leading men in the Mexican bor
der towns, growing out, of this affair,
which complicates matters and embitters
the enmity between the people on the
two sides of the river. Tlio State of
Coahuila has levied a regular war tax to
prepare for emergencies, and a body of
men is being organized at Knava, Mexi
co, it is said, for retaliatory operations.
The supposition among our froutiermeu
is that hostilities are imminent.
Tlic Liquor Trade.
The organ of the liquor interest in
New York has taken pains to collect and
group all the facts connected with the
trade in this country. The amount of
tax on spirits collected by tho United
States in .1872, was This
represents about 100,000,000
worth at wholesale @85,000,000, but
which brought, at retail, about §317,000,-
000. This aggregates a money interest of
over 8 UK),000.000. The beer trade pars
a tax to the government of 88,578,598,40.
This represents a retail value of over
$212,00(>,000, which, added to the value
of the article to the manufacturers, rep
resents a. money interest of about 8300,- I
000,000. The wine trade represents an \
interest of §75,000,000. The import !
trade of liquors, beer and wine, repre-j
sents a retail value of liquors of §27,000,- j
000; of beer, §2,800,000; of wine. 8135,- j
000,000; or a total of nearly §105,000,000. j
Added to this, the capital invested in 1
buildings and machinery, etc., together i
with the expenses connected directly and
indirectly with the trade, the footing is
at least 81,500,000,000. This may be an
over estimate; but the collection of very
nearly fifty million dollars in revenue
from liquors in one year, to say nothing ;
of the unknown quantities manufactured
and consumed that pay no tax of anv
kind, tells a fearful tale against the hub-;
its of tho nation.
Fob Vienna.—Henry Guinn, the in
telligent colored Democratic orator of
Savannah, has sailed for Vienna, to at
tend the grand exposition. He will ad
dress the citizens of the world assembled
lat Vienna, and make a true representa
; tion of*he situation at the South. He will i
invite immigration to Georgia, and por
tray the great advantages offered bv this
State. Henry is of the opinion that the
negro is anutireliable laborer, and would j
ibe far better off if in a state of slavery.

Tallt-has Agricultural Society,
Taelokas, Brooks Cos., )
May 20, 1873. j
Mr. Editor:—Thinking that a few
items from this remote corner of our
county, upon agricultural matters, might
not be uninteresting to your readers, we
write you to state, that the planters in
this locality, like those in every section
of the Southern country, have since the
“little unpleasantness,” been worshiping
at the shrine of “King Cotton,” greatly
to the neglect of the provision crops.
Our marvellous devotion to bis sceptre,
lias, as a natural consequence, made us,
with but few and rare exceptions, pur
chasers “on time” of mules, guano, bacon,
corn, flour, and indeed all the necessities
of life; and fortunate is he, who at Un
close of each year, is able to balance ac
counts. Having failed to renovate our
lands by a well regulated system of crop
rotation aud rest, by hill-side ditching
and horizontal culture; by a failure to
husband those fertilizing elements which
a bountiful nature lias plain el at onr
command, and finally, by an insatiable
thirst after cotton, and improvident cul
t lire of the cereals, wc have “hilh-lfhe
noose that had, the golden egg!’ and have
become “hewers of wood, ond dinners of
water” to the monied monopolies of the
country.
This state of affairs has naturally
brought thinking men to serious and
earnest reflection, and the important
question presents itself, are we to toil
foreve'r, on this line, with no better re
sults? Are there no means by which our
farms can bo self-sustaining and remu
nerative?
Acting under tho conviction tfiut by
a “new departure” (not political, however)
these desirable objects can be secured, a
number of the planters in this section of
the county, iu connection with our neigh
bors from Thomas and Colquitt coun
ties, have, organized at this place an Ag
ricultural Society, that, we may counsel
ono with another upon the “nonius oper
and-!..” The officers of the Society are F.
1. Walker, President; L. I!. Morse, \ ice
President; and H. L. Wadkins, Heii-otary
and Treasurer. The Society hold month
ly sessions, and discuss ;it each n. mg
psome practical question connected with
agriculture. The discussions* so far,
have been both interesting und instruct
ive, and already tin- benign influence of
the Society is heginnw r+’> assert, itself.
A number of specimen copies of dif
ferent agricultural joiirn its have been
obtained, and most of the members will
become subscribers to one or more of
these valuable periodical*. Indeed, Mr.
Editor, it is surprising that, farmers gen
erally do not subscribe for and read reg
ularly these valuable works, devoted as I
they are, exclusively to improved South
ern agriculture, edited bv aide, scientific j
agriculturalists, assisted by a large corps j
of practical correspondents, some of!
whom stand high on the roll of fame. *
No progressive farmer can well afford to |
be without them.
The crop prospects will compare fa
vorably with those of previous years, at j
this date. The late rains will bring the |
oat crop to maturity, and never, within i
our recollection, did this crop appear at i
a more opportune season.
PLANTER. 1
National I'l'C'S Association.
At the recent session of the “Georgia
Press Association,” convened in the city
] of Amoricus, the following preamble and
resolutions, looking to a National organ
ization of the editorial fraternity, were
adopted •,
j Wlie rORH, It lias been the custom, the
“time whereof the memory of man, rtiu
netli not to tho contrary,” to allow the
free transmission, through the mails, of
i printed journals in exchange with each
other, and it has also been, until a recent
j date, the immemorial ettftom in this
j .State to exempt from taxation, the print
j ilig material of every newspaper, and
j Whereas. We regard the action of the
General Assembly of Georgia, in levying
Ia tax upon printing material in this State,
j and that of Congress, in requiring tho
j payment of postage on exchanges, as in
! vading the immunities of the Press of the
country, and that such is not proihotive
of the best interests of the people, does
not accord with the true principles of ic
publican government, hud is adverse to
the general welfare of the country, and
Whereas, We belli ve the euston was
i salutary, and we hold, that the freedom
I of the Press is synonymous with the iib
i erty of the people, and that such acts as
referred to are unsound in policy, in that
t hey serve to embarrass the Press, and
| deprive the people of an extensive diffu
sion of news, and of a general dissemi
nation of useful intelligence, and
Whereas, The recent legislation of
Congress has deprived the Press of some i
of its most valued and valuable privi- ;
legos, which fact must be taken as a de- ’
duration of war against the whole “fourth
estate” by that department of the gov
ernment, and that actuated by a princi
ple of selLpreservation, we must, unite
and prepare to defend from further ag
gression the last remaining bulwark of ;
a free people, a free and untrammeled j
Press, and
Whereas, Believing that in union then' i
is strength, and “Where no counsel is ■
the people fall, but in the multitude of
counselors there is safety.” the necessity :
of united action by the Press of the conn- 1
try becomes apparent, and as a complete j
remedy for existing evils, and to oppose ;
the further inroads of oppression, we j
propose the formation of a National j
Press Association for the United States, ]
therefore, be it
Ist Resolved. That the President of!
this Association, appoint a committee of ;
five members thereof, to confer with the j
officers of other State Associations and
with prominent (and leading)journalists
throughout tlie Union for the purpose of ,
forming a National Press Association.
2d Resol red. That such Committee lie
authorized, in behalf of this Association,
to take all necessary steps for the forma
tion of such an Association as above men
tioned, and that said Committee bo re- j
quired to report the result of their action j
to the President, at the earliest practiea- 1
Me period, who shall thereupon inline- j
diately call a meeting of the Association,
to consider the same and appoint dele- i
cates to such National Convention.
3d Resolved, That the object of this
movement is to promote the varied inter
ests of the v hole people, the general
welfare of the country, the dissemination
of knowledge, to resist the encroachments
of power, and for the preservation of
constitutional liberty.
4th Resolved, That we recognize the
rights, and the power of the people, that
we respect their will, and we earnestly
invoke their aid and encouragement of
their efforts of the Press to preserve con
stitutional government and civil liberty.
The Thorna.sville Enterprise says: We
had a call a few days since from our old
friend Judge H. C. Tucker, of Colquitt.
He is one of the pioneers of this section
of Georgia, locating within a short dis
tancc of whore he now resides in 1825.
He passed along a tangled pathway,
through the place where now stands
Thomasvil'ie, before a stick was cut. A
mong other reminiscences, he told us of
killing, skinning and hanging up ten
deer in one forenoon: and it was not a
i very good day for hunting either. He
i is living with his third wife, and has had
■ Horn unto him thirty children, eighteen
i boys and twelve girls; twenty-four of
i whom are living. The youngest being
eight months old.
