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. . j —The lliuuswf k Aj-jwal announces 4s death ot Hannah, at the early age of EDITORIAL PRIVITIES.

The resigna l tion of the President of the Republic, j Thiers, was accepted, as also that of his j Ministry. Marshal McMahon was se- I looted to succeed him. and said gentle -1 man has accepted the position. The : change of Presidents, in the opinion of | many thoughtful nu n, will be beneficial Ito France, and will, to some extent, re j store confidence in the jermanency of l t he Republic. Despotism in Louisiana. President Grant’s proclamation, re quiring the citizens of Louisiana Jto sub mit to i.h>' usurpations of the carpet-bag government., headed by W. P. Kellogg, 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 ulent. 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. [('ovriepnmiencc of the Banner.] 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. w l*aln-Killer.” Tlifre can be no necessity, at this late day, for tin- press to speak in commendatory terms of tins remarkable medicine, in order to promote its sale: ter'lt is a medicine ‘hat is known and j appreciated tie: VMe world through. \V believer we speak of tho Pain-Killer, as in the present instance, we do 8a in behali of tbuafflicted, rath er than with the view of advancing the interests of the proprietors.
