Sandemille, Ga., July 27,
The Next Legislature.—The ad
mission of Georgia 1 to the Union,-by the
action of the late Congress^ we'presume
settles the question as fofoilV being a
Stater with a State Constitution. This
being granted and nq rn.an put a knave
or a fool,'will dispute it—i.t will rest
with the people of tlie State, to elect or
not during this fall another Legislature,
to ta^e life place of that which has so
signally misrepresented them during
the last two years.
The Constitution distinctly provides
for this election. ' The interests of the
State loudly demands it; and we have
mistaken the people of Georgia, if they
<^0' : nofassek and‘maintain their rights.
Neither Legislative nor‘Executive user-
pation will be‘permitted to“interfere
with or prevent, the enjoyment of the
rights.fguaranteed to .them, by act of
Congress, aswell as by the Constitution
of the Uiftted States.
, Jf the Executive of Georgia loves the
State and!desires' to. promote its inter
ests, (and he says lie dies)Tel him show
it by zealous co-operation with'the peo
plo‘, by a faithful adherence (d the Con
stitution lie’Kas sworn'to support, and
by a rigid enforcement of .the laws. Let
him send home the men whom he has
dalled together, for no other purpose
that we can see except to fatten upon
the money wrung from the impoverish—
ed^people of Georgia. Then let him
issu4' lift' proclamation calling for a new
election by the"people,' and we shall
believe he is nit s6’ bad as he has been

and the fact that the coiton States have

1 “The declaration of war by Fiance
against Pfussiaj must,; inevitably' lead
toageneral war in Europe,, in which
eivent breadstuffs and .provisions of all
kinds will 'probably reach enormous
prices, while cotton, the .great and only
production, cf- the Southern planter,
will fall io, a,very low figure. T,he
policy—Ruinous-an'd,destructive in the
best times—of the Southern planters
since the war, has been to raise cotton
exclusively and depend upon the West
aird North, for corn,, bacon, flour and
Wav. We have again, and again en
treated and protested against such a
paradoxical'and unwise system, but li
no purpose. With cotton at thirty-five
cent3 a pound, such a course could
be hardly,excused, but with our great
staple Celling at and- below twenty
oents,' it became criminal folly. Yet
sjuch is the condition of affairs. Col
ton is planted almost exclusively the
present .year,, and in all probability
will sell very low., ‘ While 'corn and
proVisidus," ovving to the'increased Eu-
ropfeart demand on account of the war,
will be scarce,and very high. 1 *
There is time yet for t something^to
be done to remedy our'past ertpi*;' and
make qs less*dependeht for food upon
thel North and West. Nature has
blessed'us with, a generous climate and
a 1 ,.fruitful . sod/' well adapted to the
growth of small grain*' and root crops.
These:grow and flourish here during
the entire winter. A few acres of
land well prepared and properly en
riched, will secure a full aod abundant
crops of turnips, beets or carrots for
the supply of animals during the entire

Turnip" Culture.'6“crommend
to our Agricultural friends, the afticlc
under this head in our agricultural col
umn. Turnips, beets and carrots, may
all be sowed to. advantage in August
with favorable seasons. Our ‘experi
ence in their fall culture inducts us to
prefer sowing after the ground lias been
thoroughly, wet, and is sufficiently, dry-
to rakeftiie seed under lightly. In our
stiff Iand^ a heavy rain' b,eft>re the seed
comes iip.is’to be deprecated^

ed hitherto that the estimates of the jp^e-
'sent growing crop by many newspaper
correspondents, were altogether too san
guine that due allowance bad not been
made for the casualties of July and Au

below from a private letter to the Erli-;

babilities of the present crop than any
thing wc have read lately. The writer
