here for ahow. The Executive Oommittee
and taemben of the State Agricultural Society
hare erinced a determination to make thia next
the great Fair of the State. The handaome and
liberal premium Bat now being dreulated
throughout the Stale apeak, for itself. An ex

therefore, to Uwite and urge arery oonnty in

oonnty which shall fnrniah the “largest and

refeMDoe lolhe premtum iiaf, there are three
other handsome premiums to be distributed
among other ooonUea, aa follow*:
A premium of *500 to the oonnty making tha
second beat display.
A premium of *300 to the oonnty making the
third beat display; and
A premium of *100 to the oonnty making the
foorth beet display.
There are now three prominent counties in
the State which are known to be bending and
concentrating all their waat powtra and resour

gia, one in Middle OeorgLt, and one In South-
weatern Georgia. Other countiei will report
progreat, nod enter the list for competition at
the next meeting of the Society, to be held in
Athena next month.
But while the foregoing eonnty prizes are in
tended to represent the leading features of the
premium list, they are by no means the moet
attraciire. The city of Maoon haa netted with
the society in the effort to preaent a Hat of re-

These are among the many premiums offered

000. Bat it ts not to the valne of the premi
ums that we look for rewards. The exhibition
promleee nobler reenlta than this. Tnere will
he a great moral influence growing ont of it.
The polilioal eoonomtat will here find food for
his thoughts. The artisan will scan, with eagle
eye, Ibe work of hla peers. The thrifty farmer;
the enterprising merchant; the fowl fanoier,
and tha stock importer; the horticulturist—all
will be entertained, pleased and instructed.
Here we will learn the soared, of supply and
demand in onr own State. Hero we will learn
where, in onr own Stale, each and ewery article
la prodnoed, raised or manufactured. Oar peo
ple will here be tsnght where, in their own
ooantry, they may follow that purmit best
suited to their internet and taste, without being
forced to hoot homes among strangers, as i,
now too often the oaae. Exhibitors from Upper
Georgia »i i here find a market for the ready
sale of mnah, if not all, of their perishable ar
ticles at fall, remunerative priors. In addition
lo >11 this, much general gool most necessarily
grow ont of these annual reunions of so many
of the thinking and working men and women
of the ooantry. The spirit of State pride is
fanned into new life by these meetings, and
we forget, aa it ware, cur iudvidual misfor
tune* in rejoicing over onr mutual aucoeeaes.
Let n* then devote one week in next
October to the very profitable work of
meeting and dlaonaaing the important ag
ricultural and commercial interest* of the
day. Let It be a weak devoted purely

throe propoerd water line*. Jt is not. however,
the practicability of these grand schemes for
redneieg freight* that we muet atop cow
to consider—for no matter how fes*itde
they may be, Georgia is i* in no
condition to wait their completion. The emer
gency—bread—i* epos c*. and we must go to
work, and go to work to-day. We moat teach
oar bora, by precept and example, that the
great virtue of l.fa and the necessity of the
age ia to be found in the truth of the o!d Latin
maxim, “ Labor oiniuVl seqrff " The people of
Georgia should never be dependent upon any
line or any system .of transportation for the
meat and the bread, tbs hay ard the fortiHzere
need upon their farms. tinch a policy will
bankrupt and starve oat any people in the
world. Show me tbs man with a fat amoke-
hocae and a weff filled bern, and I will show
you oce who ia not affected by low-priced cot
ton or high Irani port a hoc. On the other hand,
point me to that farmer with a ledn smoke
house and an empty eorc-enb, I will ahow
you a miserably poor and mistaken wretch,
whose dependent and destitute condition can
never be reached by high-priced eotton, or re
lieved in anj way by cheap transportation.
The truth i*. we have been betting our bottom
dollar* so long os three fatal card*, called
“credit," “oottor," and “caterpillar.” that
w* now hive nothing left at but our mule* aud
lands; and in *evec case* ont of ten these are
pledged to Home warehouse firm for supplies to
make this year’s crop with. And yet, in the
face of all thi* crouching poverty ard embar
rassment. wa learn from the oew*pap<rs cf the
country that more land it planted in cotton this
year tb'«" last, or even any year since the war.
No wonder, then, that wa should be crying cut
for more IranjportaSion
Fifteen year* ago, when I first commenced
the produee buaiues* in Macon, my little orders
for grain arid meat seldom went farther weet
than the fertile hill* cf Cherokee Georgia, xnd
the narrow valley* in Eaet Tennessee. I had
time thou to wnte and send letters for these
•applies end wait the return of quotations be
fore boying. I, With other merchants, pur
chased there, at our leisure, all that was neces
sary to enpply the wants of Middle and South
western Georgia. Now we send onr immense
order* by telegraphic wires to the richCsIasend
broad plains of Illinois and Jllasocri; and if,
by any chance or ill lack, s railroad bridge ia
burned or a transfer boat is sank and a little
blockade occur* en route, a panio ensues and a
meat, bread and hay famioeat once threatens
every man and beast sooth of Chattanooga.
This is onr miserably poor and helpless condi
tion to-day—fearful and unreasonable as it msy
appear to ontaiders. Bat that annual deficiency
of fifty million* of hnahels of grain in the four
States! of Georgia, Alabama, Florida and South
Carolina, commented upon ao gravely by the
late Canal Convention in Atlanta, tells the whole
story. Wa have suddenly awakened, aa it were,
from a deep sleep and discovered the nnwel-
oome fact that wo are a poor, thriftless non
producing, all consuming, dependent people.
And jnst so long as the farmers and planters of
Georgia pursue tbeir prsaoDt mad policy of buy
ing fertilizers to make ootton to bnycora, bacon
and hay with, and then pay two per cent.
month for money from April to November
eaeh year to mn this wild schedule, jnst so long
will they be pitiable beggars and borrowers at
ibe doors of transportation offices and Georgia
shaving shops, provided a worse fste does not
spoedily overtake them.
The trntb is, the whole ooantry his become
one oommon counting room and huge gambling
ahop. What we once did with tbs sxs and the
hoe, the plowshare and the reaping hook, we
now seek to ocoomplish by strategy and chance,
credit and speculation. And we must, sooner
or later, oomn back to first principles or we
must perish. We have too many able-bodied
yonng men in shady places; too moch tape cut*
ting and pin selling and too little cotton chop
ping and hay caring; too many yard sticks
thrown around loose on smooth-top counters
and not enough hoe-handles and plow-stocks
too many law-books and lager beer barrels ii
proportion to the rail-splitting and ditch dig
ging; too much foolish fashion and foppery,
and not enongh sledge-hammers and saw-horses
—in a word, too much uholualt UCeneu.
Georgia has to-day, bnried in the rich bosom
of her varied soil and piecions mineral beds,
grssfer wealth and grander results than can
ever be worked ont by canal projects
Congressional enterprises. -And bow is it
be done ? Not by dreamy theories and myth
leal plans, bat In talking corn instead of canal
—In diversifying and developing onr own vwt
resources—in writing more about home effort
and lees shoot foreign immigration—in plant
ing less ootton and manufacturing more yarns.
In this, and this only, lies the great secret of
Georgia snocess—sgncnltnral as well as finan
cial and oommerclal. Wo are immensely rich in
resources bet miserably poor In tha handling of
them. What we want is uork—honest, hard-
fisted, intelligent, well diroote 1 toil, labor and
application in developing and ntilizing what we
havo here at home rather than so many spas-
mndio efforts lo bring from abroad that which
wo ehould not bug. Onr poverty, like onr
pride, is the result of misapprehensions and
mistaken ideas of ourselves, of ocr country
and of eaoh other. The abolition of slavery in
the Booth lias developed a vnst world of sickly,
sentimental, lazy. Indolent, stnpified. inert
and unapt population—a population of young
and middle-aged men, some of whom have
known better days. These men put on old
store clothes, bang around dirty grogshops and
dingy hotels, smoko cheap segars and drink
mean whisky, affect old habits and anti-war
style, talk politics a little and enrso destiny and
free negroes more, fret snd fume over the re
sult of the Iaie war, write and sign np mort
gage liens on their ootton crops before they are
planted, pay two per cent, interest on money
for nine months in the year and then promise
to pay annually in the fall more money per acre
for oommerclal manures to scatter over their
lands than some of them originally cost.
And, finally, whin inatt. ntion to hn-inesi nr.il
general bad polley and mismanagement havo
brought them and their Btats to the extremity
of desperation—when ruin and bankruptcy atare
ns ail in the face—wo issne proclamations, call
pnblia meeting*, invite distinguished ganllemen
from abroad to oome here aud sympathize with
us. We meet inbanquet halls,drink much chum-
pngoo and discharge more pas over the great
ana absorbing questions of canal schemes, Con
gressional aid and ehenp tranaportation, than
was ever expended by our forefathers in dis-
onssing the Declaration of Amenoan Indopen
denee. And wbat does it avail? Will these
idle and extravagant demonstrations over work
out the great problem of Georgia independence ?
No! Never until labor becomes popular will
money get easy. Never, nntil we feed fancy
leas, aud learn to fatton chickens and hogs
more, will want disappear and plenty step in.
When these plain secrets of life shall have been
learned, whoa the wild mania for speculation
shall have departed from our farm houses aud
plantation*, when onr planters shall leirn from
experience to abandon Wall street brckeis ard
"eotton fntnrea," and eime to deal more di
rectly in the prodnotions of squire little “spots'
of potatoes and corn, when agrienltnre shall
become the ruling feature and controlling inter
eat In onr State—then, and not nntil then, will
we become an independent, prosperous ard
happy people. Aud we have here in Georgia
all the elements necessary to this great end.
Here God has blessed ns with everything ess, n-
tial to the prosperity and growth of man or
beast, if only worked out. Everything, from
a chicken and a churn to a eotton field and a
coal bed, from s gronnd pea pu'eh on the sand
hills to a gold mine in the mountains. These
are among the rich, rare and multiplied resources
of Georgia; these constitute our strength, our
refuge and onr power.
Think of it. farmers and planters of Middle
Georgia! Here we are, in the heart of the
Empire State, the boasted owner* of lauds with'
out stint, blessed with a climate and soil where
two crops of grain or two cf potatoes, or one
each of pea vines and bay can bo successfully
grown on the same land the same year, and yet
we go to Baltimore to buv guano to mako a lit
tle cotton to sell In New Fork to get money to
bay hay, oats and oorn away ont in the rich
Statea of Kentocky, Iodiana, Illinois and ills-
sonrl. And just eo long as we are the volunta
ry patron* cf proJnoe dealers, heartless ring*
and pampered monopolies, each as now own
and control, operate and direct onr cnly lines of
trade and transportation north, south and wot:,
just so long will we be fit subjects for lien-
drafts and homestead law*, mortgages and re
pudiation. The South must work ont ter own
independence. The remedy is onrs, if we will
only apply it. Too often have we been beguil
ed by plausible schemes for great improve
ment* and financial relief. Let us no longer le

What Shall we d* with ear Dwagh-
ten?
Apropos of Mrs. Livermore's lais lecture as
the above important question, the Davenport
Drmccnt thus sensibly make* answer:
Teach them self re lienee.
Teach them to make bread.
Teach them to make shirts.
Teach them to foot up store bill*.
Teach them not to wear falae hair.

oestx.
Teach them how to cook a good meal of vie-
tells.

mon sanse.
Teach them how to dam stocking! and sew on
buttons.
Give them a good, substantial, common school
edneition.
Teaoh them to aay no, and mean it; oryee,
and stick to it.
Teach them to regard the moral*, not the
money of the beaux.
Teach them to wear calioo dreeoee—and do
it like a queen.
Teach them all the mysteries of the kitohen,
the dining room and parlor.
Teach them that a good round rosy romp i*

Teach them to have nothing to do with in
temperate and dissolute young men.
Teach them that the more one lives within
their income the more they will save.
Teach them the further one lives beyond
their income the nearer they get to the poor
boose.
Bely upon it, that upon your teaching depends
In a great measure the weal or woe of their
after life.
Teach them accomplishments—musie. paint
ing, drawing—if you have the time and money
to do it with.
Teach them to climb apple trees, go flihing,
cultivate a garden and drive a road team cr
farm wagon.
Teach them that Gad made them in bia own
imige, and that no amannt of tight lacing will
improve the modeL
Teach them that a good, steady, greesy me
chanic without r cent, is worth a dozen oil
pated loafers in broadcloth.
Teach them the essentials of life—truth, hon
esty, uprightness—then at a suitable time let
them marry.
Exchange Newspapers.
The New York Sun cf the 4th ha* the fol
lowing:
On the first of July next the free tranimission
of exchange newspapers through the mails will
cease, and all who receive such papers will be
required to pay tbeir postage.
This is a new and a wholesome requirement;
and it seems to ns to afford a good opportunity
for the introduction of another novelty, and
that i-: the to'.al abolition of the exchange
system.
From aud after the first of July next the Son
will tti-rf; t) be sent in exchange to any other
'piper, and will not receive any exchanges. For
all papers in different parts of the country that
wo require we propose to subscribe and pay,
jnst like any other subscriber; and all our
friends who desire to have the Sun can procure
it upon the same conditions.
Oar contemporaries will understand that this
is Dot because we fail to appreciate their merits
or desire to interrupt the friendly relations
which have so long snbiisted between us and
most of tbs press; it is merely the introduction
of anew bnainera arrangement which we are
inclined to regard as more simple, convenient,
and just than the old oca
That is a common senso view of the matter
which shonld be adopted universally, but
whether it will be or not is a doubtful point
