Tin: FARMCONVENTION AT MAC ON, DKCEKBEII y, 1808. ThcJ’rt of Georgia Hey nested to ( ofnj this Address and Keep the Subject Before the People. .1 u « H The undersigned were appointed a Committee, at a incctieg of the Agricul turists held in the City of Eatoutou, Ga-, at the late Agricultural Fair in Putnam Count}*, to address you on the subject of Immigration, and to ask your coopera tion. It was agreed to hold a meeting ut the City Hall, at 10 o'clock, A. M. f on Wednesday, the 9th day of December, ensuing, composed of one delegate, at least, from each County in the State, to devise and set on foot the best plan for all the different sections of Georgia to promote immigration from the Northern States and Europe, as will furnish the best labor, on the best terms, for the im provement and- development of all the varied interests of Georgia and Georgians. Touching the immediate subject of immi gration, the Committee deem it best not to propose any plan of actiou iu this Ad dress, but to leave the whole uuestiou to the Convention—and we simply urge a foil attendance at the Convention. 1 This, People of Georgia, i« »u small work, Doris ita Utopian idea. Aud now is the time for the work to begin. It has already been delayed too long, and if deferred still, w ill only end in greater • ! V" , , ' ; ‘ f injury. Fanners of Georgia ! the burden rests mainly on your shoulders. Others arc to be benefitted in a corresponding ratio : but it devolves maiulv upon you to “put the ball in motion.” Co-operation is what we need. This is to be effected by full and free discussiou of the whole ques tion. This can be had at Macon at the time specified. We cordially invite you. therefore, Farmers of every County in Georgia, to appoint one or more Dele gates to represent your interests in the Contention at Macon, and to aid in the work. Wo must uut wait. There is too much danger in delay. Too much sacri fice in postponement. Send the bestmeu you can get, and let the good work com mence. It will take months to accom plish the first step in the enterprise. It is all important to begin right. One false step may be productive of inealeu lahlc mischief. Our present labor, from the signs of the times, will, iu a few ycfir»s more, be almost worthless. Tfc is not the sort of labor we need now. It j* MBHS® ©I EBS HMTO. - : • inadequate, unskilled, and unreliable, and becoming more so every year. * i Maryland is awake ! Virginia if arousing ! Missouri, Texas, and Ar kansas are nil moving ! Georgians ! we, too, must begin, if We would save our good old State, ourselves, and our chil dren, from abject poverty. Our Invita tion is earnest ; the crisis is near ; the results certain and glorious, if w*« begin Ti;rht, begiu in time, and not throughout with wisdom. Let us have representa tives frtmi every County at Macon. And let us then and there inaugurate a system of labor which shall regain our lost j roa perity. U, and it alone, will Ini* <mr sal vation. Tbe redemption of Gts.rgia from poverty, now upon her; the improve meut of her lauds; tin* development of all her great ami varied resources, is the work to be accomplished. It eau be done. work must be a beginuing. This is the objeet of the Convention at Macon There is uoi labor enough w tho State to accomplish a tithe of what may be done with proper management. In addition to all the labor wc now have, we need bu«- dreds of thousands of skilled lab >rers from abroad for 'his gr» at work. And. in coujunctiou with this labor, we shall need cajutal and ea pita lists; let us invite them* urn, from the North and from Kmopc, if the Cun\ entiou deem.- it. best to do so. ! . Be not lukewarm upon this **object, tor this is tho golden opportunity to make a beginning. No work eau bo half so im portant for us or our children. B. T. Harris, of Ilaneoek, ' 11. D.

The extracts given by the Commercial from the 1/exington Observer and tire Memphis A valanvke, are the cries of those wc have pushed to the wall, and whom, not having either wisdom or Vharity, wc desire to force into the ditch beyoud The Southern States cannot tolerate tbe present state of things, nor anything like it. Their people will die first If it were our own condition, wc should prefer death to Negro mastery of our society and Government while our hands were tied. But, if they were loose, we should certainly try to inflict it. The outrage is fiendish, and the submission to it is super human. The Gar pet-baggers are the iuhtt unionts by which Negro mastery ami white slavery ;q;e to Ik; made the perma nent condition of the splendid States of the South—our near neighbor#, our best friends and customers. The Garpet baggers went South to create and estab lish Mich a villainous state of things as no Ohioan would allow on his own soil. They wilh ke<q» it up, and, if they do, tboy must be treated as we would treat torch bearing tnonkeys in a powder magazine. — Cufcinmt'i Commoner. Soirntg&N Prodittion. Notwith standing the many discouragements which the South has had to .encounter since the close of the Rebellion, such as the unset tled state of social, industrial, and politi cal a flairs, lack of rea<ly menus, and low state of credit, it is gratifying to uote the substantial progress which that section has made, and is making, towards a reparation of the losses afld wastes of war. The Southern States have not only become nearly, or quite* self-sustaining in the matter of food, but their great staples, of cotton, tobacco, rice, sugar, Ac , are increasing in volume at a rate which bhls fair to enable them speedily to re sume their legitimate position in the com merce and industry of the country. The South is peculiarly favored as regards soil and climate, which are adapted, not only to a very large production of the reoiguiaed staples of that aoctiou* but to most of the cereals, fruits, aud root crops of the higher latitudes. This has been abundantly demonstrated italic last year or two, during which the Northern mar kots have been liberally supplied with a great variety offitrni aud warden produce, which have yielded eveu uettcr returns to the producers than cotton. Manufactures have, also, made some progress, but nothing like the headway which this branch of industry is destined to nidge in succeeding years, when a complete f /cili catiou shall bring into requisition the necessary auxiliary forces of capital and labor. In addition to a fine soil aud'di versified climate, the South possesses un told wealth iu her mines of irou, lead, copper, and sulphur, not to speak ot the more precious metals, which will, without doubt, be placed under tribute by unfail ing energies, as soon as the preseut anoma lous couditiou of social affairs shall give place to law, order, and genera stability. It is altogether probable that the healing art of time will overcome the animosities engendered by the war, and thus permit, succeeding years, the unexampled progress of material prosperity.— Shipping !From the l.< Cm«* Doaoent.], To Father Ryan. .intienr "SfutUvl Son9*.“ ami **>'*" Bmuftfat f'o'Hit-'. m L.AVMS tl*ts.

The Cotholx- Mirror mf* that the totftl numtxir of c.mtirmed and converts in the Bioccse of Baltimore, during the present year, 1868, so far, is as follow# ; Total uamtbor continued, 4.ti-54; total nnmlier of eooverts, 481. This is more than 11 per cent, of the entire number. Tables Turned —The Constitution state# that on tho Island of \'alentia sixty persons, many of whom are Vbung and intelligent, have abandoned the Pro testant Church to enter tbe Catholic fold. Valemia is, we believe, one of the favored spots which the Irish Church Missionary Society takes under its especial care. Prom tbe statement of our cotcmporaiy, it would appear that, so far from making converts, the zealous Missionaries have succeeded in alienating the Protestant population. —Cork Kramntvr. ErisJorAt. Visj tatiox.—On his return frotn Kentucky, the Most Reverend Archbishop visited the Churches in the Western portion of the Diocese in the cyuntics of Alleghany aud Washington. He administered the Sucrameut of Con firmation in ten Churches to eleven hun dred and. twenty five, persona, of whom one hundred and five were converts to onr Holy Faith. —Baltimore Mirror. Catholic Missions in China.—We (says the Hong Kong paper,) bave N been endeavoring lo obtain some authentic statistics of the missions of all denomina tions. The following, respecting the ltoaiau Catholic mission# lias been cour teously communicated by good authority. It i# the first compilation of the sort in modern day#: The whole of China has been divided into twenty-four Catholic miasioua, di rected by nineteen Bishops and five Pre fects Apostolic of different nationalities, viz., Italian, Frpcch, .Spanish, and Bel gian. ! Each Biahop has under him sot less than four European Missionaries, aud some of them have upwards of twenty. Each Mission is divided into so many districts, according to the number of Eu ropean Mission#. ... ri ‘ The number of Christians varies is each Mission from two thousand, which is the lowest number, up to ton thousand. Colleges.—ln each Mission a College for natives i# kept, where they are Uught Latin, philosophy, and theology. There are, also, schools aud orphanages, which abound in every Mission, The most important is the College kept by the Ger mans aud Italian# at Si-ka*wA, distant from Shaughuc three or f four njiles. There are nearly three hundred pupils, who are taught trades, painting’, draw ing, and Chinese literature, and several of them are sunt up to Pckiu to takoyhe degrees. Printing, —in several of the Missions there ia a Printing Office, directed by the Missionaries. That at Shnnghae is wor thy of mention. Several works have been composed and printed in Chinese, among which may bo mentioned the Gos pels, with explanatory notes (five edi tions); works ou mathematics, theological book#, which, as far as regards the idioms, are kept as classics by the Chi nese. Several parts of tbe Bible have be.eu translated into Chinese, but always with explanatory notes to adapt them to the natives’ mental capacity, with a Dic tionary in Latin and Mandarin. Anew 000 has been printed at Paris in Chinese and French by a French Missionary- Different maps of China arc printed at Naples, in Italy, nnder the Italian Mi#- sionary in tbe Chinese College; ajid » map of tbe Sce-oou district near H° U K Kong, with an Asylum for Fonudlings, day and boarding Schools, and an Or phanage: one in Ningpo, with Orpuaa age; one in Skaogbae. wln re they direct a Hospital ; owe out of Shanghai*, in the country, with hti Oi plumage ; one in Tientsin, where they have an Orphanage, School*, and Hospital; one in Pekin, with Hospital nod Orphanage.

Arkival or Capuchoi Father.- — Tho Diocese of Charleston ha# been favored within the past week,* by the arrival of two Missionaries of the Capuchin Order, from Europe. These Reverend ge»Ue men arc known by thoir Religious name# Father Louis, aud Father Patrick. This is the first mission that the Capuchin Fathers havej ever accepted South of Mason and Dixon’s line, and we may esteem ourselves fortunate that they are thus about to make their beginning in in this Dioccec j ; The Order of Capuchin- was formed in the year 152 J, by Mathew do Bussi. or Boschi, a native of the Duchy of Urbas uo, and the origin of the name is derived from the peculiar formation of the head uaed by the order. The Capuchim* arc everywhere admired for tho strictness with which they adhere to the rules of the Order, entailing’ upon it# members a life of great abnegation and piety.
