The insignificant cotton woim, thaf
Individually can be crashed by th*

us to tremble with apprehension lest
lie e mploy his nameiical strength to
lay waste oar fields, and blast our
brightest prospects of golden jreturn^
. Cannot we learn a simple lesson of
wisdom by reading a page from Na
ture’s open book? .
We have the elements of wealth un
told, would wc properly utilize them,
We have strength which if judiciously
applied, would make us a power in-
the hind, to be respected and appreci-*
a ted through all the ramifications of
society.
What we need for Ihedcvelopcment
of our resources, arc wise concert of
action, and intelligent combination
f)r mutual protection and mutual
profit
Now, this ideal phantom wh>cb has
so Tong pervaded the minds of multi
tude^. finds an embodiment electrified
b herculean strength,in the Order of
the Patrons of Husbandry; thtf off
spring of necessity, an infant in age,
yet a giant hi influence and power.
The oldect of this Association is to
elevate the planter socially, intellectu
ally and financially.
The planter, by education and hab
it, is dissocial—his daily routine of bu
siness demands his personal supervis
ion of his laborers, and the diutcrnal
Aiingeincpt of his farm.
\yiicn the (lay closes, he seeks iu
sleep repose from its labors.
From long habit and the tutelage
yfhis falliers, ho is firmly impressed
with the conviction that bis method
conducting his business is; superior
that ofany^of fils ueigbMrs.
lie feels not the necessity for assist-
icc. and consequently ..docs not seek
it. This routine of business coutin-
Irom week to week, nnd from year
»*ar; anil the tendency of his oc
cupation is »o contract his habits of
thought, and to a mistaken ferliug of
independence, which tends to isolation
and disregard of those agencies aris
ing from attrition ot ideas that leads to
progress and reform.
nt tho monthly reunions of
the members of a Grange, they arc
brought into friendly association.—
The bonds of fraternity, which unites
as with bands of iron, and the
application of which is “us gentle as
a silken thread that binds a wreath of
dowers,” infuses a spirit of mutuol
friendship and sympathy, iu all that
crus the welfare of one another.
;y of sentiment and unity of inter-
uspire unity of action and mutu-
ontidence. The elevated code of
morals recognized in our government,
tends to soften the asperities of
our natural instincts, to cultivate
sentiments of benevolence
and charity towards all men, and to
impress us with a sense of our mutual
dependence and obligations, to extend
no another our sympathy and na
nce, in times of sickness nnd nd-
ity, and our congratulations it
ons of prosperity and joy. Wi
arc also taught tluit ns cultivators of
the earth, while we reap the golden
harvest that springs from her ever
willing and bounteous ubsoni, we
sbciiid ever cultivate those cool ncious
•aternity, amity and faith that
spring from the tree of Truth, and that
will bear for us fruits of joy and peace
in tiie l'aradise above.
'I he intellectual aspects of our Or
der-presents to our notice considera
tion® of no unworthy importance.—
You will observe that every subject
which can improve tho condition of
the Patrons s is brought up for discuss
ion. It is the duty of the Lecturer to
gather food for mental study and re
flection upon all subjects connected
with the art and science of agricul
ture: to collect information relating
to tne henificent operations and pi og
ress of the Order; and invite a desire
for inquiry and mental improvement
'among the membership. The spirit
of amity aud friendship inculcated and
nnd practiced, induces them to pre-
seal their views freely nml unreserv
edly. without incurring the risk of
har-h criticism. Reciprocal confi
dence inspires the unrestrained attri
tion of ideas nnd elicits truth.
lit re there is a continued “Incite
nient to mental cultivation and prog
re«?‘. and the Grange is converted into
a school of agriculture and education.
It ha* been urged as an objection to
our Order, that the accumulation of
imt ii use capital and influence will be
likely to attract political harpies ami
financial tricksters, who would endeav
or t-> prevent the legitimate aims of
the Association, and use it asau agent
for theii individual uggraadizetueut,
and for unworthy object*. Hut aside
Irom the safeguard vouchsaved iu the
terms of admittance to membership
imposed by the Constitution, requiring
the actual cultivation af the soil as la
bor r or controller ol’ tenants; the con-
sevv.vtism which has always character
ized the planter ns a class, will prove
powerfully antagonistic against the
scht-mc-s of theao subtle intriguers.
The simple habits of the farmer, and
his constant and daily practice of hab
its t.f integrity, stimulated by the nec
essities ot hi«‘vocatiou, will irnpcll on
his .'art a scrutiny of the actions of the
wily money-changer, and induce cau
tion and circumspection in reposing
confidence in these who are of doubt
ful voracity and integiit}. Moreover,
we have the advantage of all other s
social ions and combinations of men,
the magic influence 01 woman. Her
purit7 of thought and life, her innate
sen-e of justice, and her uatural pres
cience in reading human chariieter,
and intuitively arriving at true and
jus*, conclusions, appa randy without
any intermediate steps of mental effort
render her a powerful helpmeet in
this union for mutual protection and
ad\ incement. J*hc is an integral por
tion of the organisation, and not a
ie silent spectator of passing fcveuts
and her influence i« fowgood and con
servatism.
The financial benefits nrrUing from
co-operation among planter*, will prob
ably be regarded by many as the ben
efit par excellence. The iron mongers,
the manufacturers, and the merchants
demand a definite price for their wares
and tne Railroads a voluntary tariff
upr a the transportation of posscngi rs
and frieght, and they make such com
binations as enable them to enforce
Uier demands.
The planter upon whom all these
various corporations and companies
arc dependent far their exbUnce, is not
allowed to put a price upon his cotton,
but meekly takes what u o fie fed fifth.
All of the articles consumed upon his
fanu pass thiougU several intermedi
ate agencies after leaving (he .manu
facturer before they reach him. Each

raise cotton sufficient- to induce direct
inter-communication, hat, by combina
tion anduuion of effort among differ
ent Granges, this object can bo accom-
pUshed, and the profits which now in
flate the pockets of middle men will
stop mapy a leak that has to effectual
ly drained the finabetetof the planter.
' D, the immense patronage which
. Hrolled by the Patrons, fuablcs
them to ’negotiate transactions with
dealers in groceries, and manufactu
rers ot mechanical ~ implements v wag
ons, &<l, at the lowest possible prises
at which such products and articles of
manufacture can be sold. Indeed a
deduction of 15 to 25 per cent, from or
dinary rates, has been offered to the
Patrons. ' 1 - " '
Not an insignificant item in the sav
ing of expenses in the great reduction
in rates of traofcportation of frieght
made by our Railroads in favor of om
Order.
Iu some instances it is said to amount
to 50 per cent, below the ordinary
rates.
Now after a hasty review of some of
the advantages offered by our order, al
low me to ask if any other Society so-
cret or otherwise, has ever accomplish
ed, for the berefit of the farmer, onc-
half as much as the Patrons are now
doing even in their infancy? We can
not see anythin'* really objcctienal iu
its aims of working, but everything to
commend. The order is a necessity,
without which our decent to the low
est depths of poverty and ruinous dis
integrations, is inveitablc. This is ah
age of gigantic schemes of moral cor
ruption that threatens to subvert the
whole order of society, and make ship
wreck ot our liberties.
The moral force of tho yeomanry o!
the land, of the plain, honest farmers
united by bands of fraternity, is need
ed to neutralize the effects of these im
mense corporations that employ mil
lions ot treasure in purchasing the con-
fecitnces of Legislators for the purpose
of carrying on the nefarous schemes
of plunder and robbery; and often at
the expense of the agricultural inter
ests. And, wc may ask, what position
does the farmer occupy iu the legislu-
tiou of the country?—With what cold
indifference is any scheme considered
for the development of the agricultural
interest of the States, aud for the pro
motion of the cause of agricultural ed
ucation. Now wo wish our interest
represented by men who have the abil
ity aud the tnoraj courage to maintain
the cause of agricultural progress, and
press its claims of irresistablc torce.
It is not our desire or purpose to in
terfere and affect injuriously the inter
ests of any legitimate corporation,
company or individual, hut, we con
ceive it to be our duty, privilege and
ability to employ our resources fertile
promotion of our own interests in any
fair, honest and practicable way. Aud
now, farmers of Southwestern Georgia
ard throughout the laud, we invite
you to come nnd enlist under thc^mn-
ner of progress and reform. Join tho
uoble array of Patrons, and employ
your moral, intellectual and material
force, for overcoming the harries which
interpose vour march for deliverance
from the dangers which threaten your
financial ruin.
Stimulated by a conviction of the
justice of j'our cause, impelled by the
irresistable powetjof truth, and eucour-
aged by the glorious success which has
thus far tramped upon all obstacles
that interspose your progress, your
march will be onward and upward,
conquei ing aud to conquer, and gener
ations yet unboru will rise up aud call
you blessed.

have taken Washington’s old breechi
from the Patent Office. They might
have taken the Washington Monu :
ment—but they didn't. Some people
will continue to complaiu of them, but
we are mute from this moment. Wc
apologize to the whole human race,
for everything. As a rash and blind
ed Sunday school scholar, we may
have spoken disrespectfully of J. Isca
riot. The experience of the last six
months show that Mr. Iscariot may
have been a gentleman who was much
misunderstood by the people of the
period. Some scribe may have placed
thirty pierce of sliver when; he thought
they would do the mo*t good, and
w hen poor Judas found that he had
bought into a law suit (Hon. 1*. Pilate,
Chief Justice), he weut and bunghitn-
seit. That was where he made a mis
take. He ought to have sent the
money down to the Capcrnacum Fe
male Seminary, and then appealed to
the generous confidence of a conitittf-
ency with whose feelings and interests
every throb of the heart beat in uni-
son. The editor of the GaLkmn T> l-
jrmn would have made a very- nice
thing of that, and the Honorable J.
Iscariot would have been one of the
most promising candidates at the next
election.—Columbus JounutL
A good story, says the Advertiser, b
told of a Montgomery man who, hay-
in sat un the greater pari of the night
before, fell sound asleep in his pew at
church; the next racrulng. Aroused
Irdm his slumbers by one of the stew

generally follows a tdflfldff ■ wakening.

Josh Billing* Insnres his Life.
I Korn to the conclusion lately, that
life waa ao onsartm, that the only wa
fur me tew stand a fidr chance a» oth
er folks, was to git my life insured, and
so I called on the JLgent of the “Gar
den Angel Lite Insurance Co., n and
answered the following questions
which wuz put to me over the top of a
pair of gold specks, by a slick little fat
old feller, with a Utile round gray
head, and ax pretty a little belly ou
him as aany man ever owned;
QUESTIONS.
1. —Arc you mail or fcioail? If so,
pleze state how long you have been
2. —Are you subject to fits, and if so,
do you have.more than one at a lime?
3. —What is yure precise fitciug
wate?
4. —Did you ever ha>eony ancestors
and if so, hot? much?
5. —What is yure legal opinion of
the constitutionality of the 10 com
mandments.
Do you ever have any nitc
mares?
’.—Arc married aud single, or ar
you a bachelor?
8.—Do you believe in a future state,
if yu du slate it.
1*.—What are your private senti
ments about a rush ov rata to the
head; can itbc dia successfully?
10.—Have you ever committed sui
cide, and if so how did it seem to ef
fect von?
After answering the above question*
like a man in a confirinntif, the slik,
little fat old Teller, with gold specks ou,
ced I was insured fur life, and proba
bly would remain so fur a turns ov
:ars, I thanked him and smiled otic
: my most pensive smiles.

At a recent receptiou iu Charleston
iu honor of General John Ji. Gordon,
that gallant soldier and hero gave ut
terance to the following sentiment. It
was in reply to toast in honor of him
self.
“Agaiu thanking you, ladies and
gentlemen, for tbo great honor you
have done me, I offer in conclusion, n
sentiment which I think accords with
the spirit of the occasiou, and which, I
am sure, both our host and ourselves
will appreciate. I regret that 1 can
not make the toast more universal in
its scope; but I should expect my glass
to fall from my grasp if I dishonored
the dead of both armies by askiug you
to iionor those who havr sought since
the war to excite a bitterness to which
they in life were strangers. l|offeryou
“The heroic dead of both armies, who
fought for principle and backed their
conviction width their lives.’ Let both
be duly honcrcd.
The Missouri editors at their late
convention, formally resolved that a
man has the same right to walk into n
rocery store and order a barrel of su
gar or a sack of coffee, or into a law
office aud demand legal opinion from
its occupants or into an undertakers
and request a coffin, without expect
ing to pay for their respective wares
or services, as into a newspaper office
and demand the use of iu bruins and
-muscles and typo, without a thought
** recompense.

Expanding the Chest.—Dr. Dio
icwis writes; Take a strong rope,and
fasten it to a beam overhead; to the
lower cud of the rope attach a stick
threo feet loug, convenient to grasp
with the hands. The rope should be
fasteued to the ceuter of the stick
which should hang six or eight inches
above the head. Let a person grasp
this stick with the bauds two or three
feet apart, and swing very moderately
at first—perhaps only bear the weight
if very weak—and giadually increase,
as the muscles gain strength from the
exercise,, until U may be used from
three to five times daily. Tho connec
tion of the arms with the body with
the execution of the clavicle with the
breastbone, being a muscular attach
ment to the ribs the effect of this exer
cise is to elevate the iil*s, ami culargc
the chest; uud as nature allows no
vacuum, the lungs expand to fill the
cavity iucrcoMug the volume of air,
tin. natural purillcr of the blood, and
preventing the congestion or the de
posit of tuberculous matter.
Wc have prescribed the above for
all vases of Ucnwrrhago of the lung*
ami threatened consumption of thirty•
^ve years, and have been able to in
case the measure of the chest from
two io four indies within a few mouths,
with good results. Hut especially as
a preventive we would rccomctid this
ext rei»e. Let those who love to live
cultivate a well-formed, capacious
chest.
The student, the merchant, the
sedentary, the young of both sexes—
an. all—should have a swius on which
to stretch themselves daily. Wc are
certain that if this were practiced by
theorising generation in a dress allow
ing a free and full development of the
IsAy. many would be saved from con
sumption. Independently of iu bene
ficial results, the exercise is an exceed
ingly pleasant one, and if the appa
ratus costs very little, there need be
•o difficulty about auy one enjoying
it who wishes to,
()ncc on a time a Dutchman and a
Frenchman were traveling in l»enn-
svlvama, when their horse lost a shoe.
They drove up to a blacksmith’s shop,
and no one being in, theyproccedcd to
the house to inquire. The French
man rapped, and called out, **I» d(-

Hans: “let ire thpeak. I*h de black-

t»ke newspaper*, bul few preserve
them, yet the most interesting reading
imaginable, is an old file of newspa
pers. Jt brings up every Vje with it*
bustle and every day affairs, and

than the labored description of the his-

to preserve newspapers, and thev will
repay the trouble, for, like that of
