In this calculation nothing .is al

tirely to expenses of the farm, though
we know tha Ifamily expenses mu9t oc

This amount deducted from value
of farm products, would leave a -little

$131,00 to the laborer, then deduct
tlie feed of tlio laborer tor a year 60,-

then gets $47,00 with which to feed

ply himself with implements of bus-

being paid $5,00 per month, makes the
farmer about $4,00 per month. This
calculation show* that the laborers «t

A Wonde rf ul Conception—$11,00
000,000, for the South.
Under tho above head, we get the
following communication from the
Athens Watchmau, which we think
has merit ini it Col. Barnett is gener
ally pretty correct in his views, and
we think it will repay any for a care
ful, personal and a sober thought.
Mn. Editou—Dkaj; Sii: I have
conceived an idea that will break up
this deep-laid plan lo ruiu the South
ern people by.swiudling them cut of
the present crop of cotton, which will
most assuredly bring rum to planter,
merchant, anu every other class, ex
cept those who have plauued against
us. When I use us 1 mean the whole
Southern people. Cotton to day is
worth in Liverpool, IS l-2c. in gold
which would be equal to 20c. iu green
backs, it will take less than 3c. to pay
expenses from here there, then why
should not cotton bring 17e. per pound
in our market to-day, instead of 12c. ?
I say U is an outragious swindle, and
the Southern people ought not to sub
mit lo it,'* You may ask bow will we
help ourselves, we are in debt and obli
ged to pay that is tree, bat can we pay
at 12c. for cotlou V It' we cau we will •
hato nothing left to buy goods and
provisions with for another year, be
sides, we will be sacrificing our cotton
at'two thirds of its real Value. Isay
that the only hdpe for the Southern,
people, under the present circumstan
ces, is not to sell another bale, unless
w6 get the foir value, based on 'the
Llvet pool market Let us make cot
ton a circulating medium, let every
debtor offer his cotton ;m payhient of
liis debts, and let evety creditor accept
the offer, circulate col tdn freely and
rnpidly until otir home debts are set
tled up; and when the last man who
ofores no one gets possesion of the cot
ton, let him ship qirectlyto Liverpool
Georgia Belles and Beauties.
Much has bceu written, and 6aid of
the dazzliug array ot beauty, whifii
carried captive so many hearts at the
late Stale Fair;'but luckless absentees
will never know the half unless they
had been there In propria pers onae.
Upper Georgia was there with her
far famed mountain beauties, with the
rich glow of health mantling rosy
cheeks; Middle Georgia was there
with her no Its: lamed belles, a hose
sparkling eyes sent cupids shafts flying
in every direction; whilst Southern
Georgia was largely represented, by
that peculiar and fascinating style of
female beauty, which have givcu her
women a world wid e reputation.
If there was j» specimen of the male
persuasion ty, ere w bo did not feel lik«
throwing himself away on some of the
thousands of fair forms who thronged
the grounds and halls, why wo give
him up as completely lost tq all sense
of charms and beautv.

is course if
arid sell for the'
carri< __
dcsigiflng speculator to bid what is
right for our cotton. Every one who
has noticed the market Tor several
year*past, knows that whenever the
price of cotton goes up in Liverpool it
goes down in New York.
I do wish arid even hope, that the
people wifi consider these fact* and
make imfuiry as to direct exportation.
There are good and 1 reliable men in
Ahgnsta who, I am told, will ship our
cotton to. Liverpool and make liberal
advances on it. 1 believe that if the
debtors aud creditors will rihite in car
rying out the abt»v« suggestion it will
save us; if not, we will bo bankrupts
and beggars. That plan wi)l save th*?

Why, does not the planter have as
{rood a right to suspend as the banker,
it he can show os good assets and good
collaterals? What is better than cot
ton? It is equivalent to gold, for bet
ter than the rotten Western railroad
bonds. Just let every planter sacred
ly pledge his cotton for the payment
of bis debts until he gets the fair valu
ation foi it, based on ibe Liverpool
market, and 1 will insure the money
wifi come out of the old stockings and
whatnots, i hold * thgt every man
should pay his just debts, and that is
the only plan by which it can be done
without ruination to everybody, and
nothing to tarry us on another year,
and no one able to help another. 1
call upqq every one to lay-to and car
ry out this plan, for in it lies the only
salvation of our people. .The pesent
crop will not go over five-eights of the
last crop, there is no danger in cotton
at 17c. Not onlr tbcplautcr, bat ev
