ISDISIKIAL PVKSIITS IM THK
SOVTII.
If wo are a pracUjMjtL, peopNl, Georgia will
rise from ber surrooftWdesolation, grander
and more self-reliant than sbe has ever been.
Past issues and theories are dead—buried in
the dust and ashes of ruined cities and towns,
and we are commencing to mark out a new
future, founded on new social systems, and,
to meet the requirement of that future, it will
require changes in our former industrial pur
suits, as well as the inauguration of new
branches of industry.
If we are a practical people we will not be
long in adapting ourselves to our new social
status, and the work of recuperation will soon
be bravely progressing. But if our conduct
in the next few years develops only our inca
pacity to cultivate our lands by free labor,
they will ultimately pass out of our control ;
for new fields of enterprise will be opened
for men from other sections, and they will
rush in and teach us the lesson that we shall
have failed to learn. The United States, nor
the world can do without the cotton and rice
planations in the South. England, in her
desperate endeavors to be supremely indepen
dent, especially of ber truant daughter, bus
taxed her last energy to produce ber own cot
ton in ber Indian territory ; but her most
strenuous efforts have only demonstrated the
impracticability of the scheme, and she is
obliged to acknowledge that ber supplies of
cotton must come from the United States.—
"With this light before us, it would be
suicidal in the extreme to suffer our attention
to be withdrawn from our great cotton-grow
ing interests. We hear, with regret, men
saying that the South will never be able in
future to produce the same amount of ber
dominant staple that she has in years past.—
She is capable of doing it, and a failure on
our part will be the result of impracticable
scheming or an absolute want of energy.
In the first place, we have the broad fertile
cotton fields. They are ours, and no other
nation, nor any other section of our own na
tion, can boast land of the same productive
qualities. They are spread out before ns in
all their rich fertility, inT ‘U°Sj l M band of in '
dustry to cultivate them that they may yield
us their snowy harvests. The real productive
qualities of these lands have never been fully
tested. Planters have made it their special
object to cultivate as much land as possible,
and cultivate it as much as possible, heedless
of the fact that too much cultivation would
render the lands non-productive. They have
lost sight of the fact that lands may be worn
out, and that to prevent such a result from
over-working, there are fertilizers to be aps
plied which will restore to the land those es
sential elements which become exhausted by
long cultivation. The planters have sought
to cultivate too much land, thereby rendering
them unable to restore its exhausted quali
ties. To provide against this evil in future,
plantations must be smaller and a due r< gard
paid to the preservation of the fertility of the
eoil. By proper care, not only can the fer
tility of the soil be indefinitely retained, but
the soil already worn out may be fully and
completely restored. As an example of tae
latter, we refer to some of the counties in
Virginia. It is true those are not cotton
lands ; but principles which are good in case
of one kind of lands, will hold equally good
in all. In Fairfax, and many other coun
ties in Virginia, by an excessive cultivation
for the production of tobacco, the lands be
came so completely exhausted that the own
ers abandoned them as worthless, and they
were turned out into commons and suffered
to grow up in pines and other scrubby un
dergrowth ; and they we_r eMI ed chiefly
by persons who ear ned a Sdaaty subsistence
by keeping the with ho p,
poles cut from their tbicictMW "Those persons
who had worked them until they were worn
out, seemed to have no idea that they could
be restored, though such theories bad been
advanced by learned men, including Justus
Liebig, the eminent German Chemist"
B it, after they had lain idle for many years,
becoming all the while less promising in ap
pearance, the attention of practical mm from
t. e North was directed to them, they were
bought by these individuals for a trifle, almt s ,
cleared ot their shaggy undergrowth, artificial,
but cjmparitiveiy cheap fertilizers applied,
neat farm houses erected, small farms cultiva
ted, and in a very few years the Virginians
were astonished at the prolific crops that were
g own upon lands which they had consideied
a- worthless. These facts we kno.v beccause
they came under our own observation. The
breaking out ot the war has retarded that fl Id
of enterprise, but we have no doubt that it will
now be lesumed and carried on until the waste
lands of the old Dominion or as fertile as ber
Valley.
So it may be in Georgia, and so it will be.
If her own people do not bring about such a
r -sult, others will come in who will do it, ai d
Georgians, like the Virginians, will be tang t
by foreigners bow to work her own lands. To
culnvaie lands properly, itmu.-t be done judi
ciously. To continue to draw crops from the
a>il without replenishing it, would exhaust
them fi lally, though the soil were us deep as th
sea.
Again if the South does not preserve her
cotton and rice—growing interests it will not
bo for the want of laborers. We have ainor g
us this element of society in abundance, and
the world might be ransacked and another race
not be found so well adapted to the labor.—
They are the only branch of the human family
who can eland the ardent suns of the Souih.
and I tie malaria ot many of our best cotton
growing regions. We of the South understand
their natural bguer than others,
and we kuow bow
tn. y best can d., it The of this
e ji uriat will be brought out io
the next year or two, but, 'WlltfHWtinv: given
for society to regulate itself and we will soon
s,« them manliest a willingness to I ibor for a
I .ir compensation which the fears of a major
part ot the people will not now let them antic
hiate. However dull In: intellect ol the black
m iv b ■ w« give h m credit for acuteness enough
to kn 'W that if be would live he must labor.—
Ii r inair.s for the planters to bring thisele
ul ml to account by wise and judicious social
regulations. Ten o one he will not be brought
to labor effionoiously by any compulsory pro
cess. We cannot bqjly him into it. He has
fa- other conceptions of bis new position in
society as a free mao. But if we would have
the benefit, of his peculiar constitution on ovr
Cotton plantations be must be taught that ’t is
only there that he can enjoy the benefit < f the
labor for which he is preeminently adapted.
If the people of the Smith would look at
these questions in this proper bearings, and
will act in accord tree with the dictates of com
ur-n sense, not only will they be able to pro
duce the former amount of their staple, but
they may increase upon it, and that too with
a less expense so ■ laborers. Os one thing we
may rest assurnl, it we do not these things for
aurselves oibeis will come in and do them for
us.
OUR ADMISSION INTO CONGRESS.
The fears that Wendell Phillips and his ilk
are entertaining that the representations from
the South will be admitted into Congress
with ut a contest, argues strongly the abso
lu e necessity of every Southern State having
the elections pushed forward with all possi
ble alacrity, in order that every one may
have their representations in Washington,
credentials in hand, by the meeting of Con
gress. There is no doubt that our right to
representation will be stoutly contested by
the radicals, who seem determined to rule this
country, even if they have to subvert she
last and most sacred of the fundamental prins
ciples of the Constitution.
It was hard for a sane man to conceive on
what grounds they would contest our right
to representation in that body. They hold
that we have never been out of the Union,
that the Federal relations between the North
and South have never been dissolved, and
bow, that we admit the same thing, and are
preparing to have our representatives ready
for the coming Session of Congress, they are
already crying “stand back I you are not yet
woitby the honor! You are not meet to have
a voice in the affairs of our great nation.”—
Such is the cry that already is coming to us
from Massachusetts and warning us to be
■prepared to meet fanaticism upon a new foot
ing that we bad not counted on.
The Constitution of the United States pros
vides that each house shall be the judge of
the qualifications of its own members ; but t
goes a little further than this, and prescribes
the qualifications that are necessaay to enti
tle a member from any State to a seat. What
those qualifications are, every one who is fa
miliar with the Constitution knows. Now, if
the radicals seek to impose upon us any oth
er qualifications than those so pr< scribed, they
are transgressing the limits of the Constitu
tion, and rendering null and void one of the
articles that holds us banded into one sister
hood, and their action will be bona fide revo
lutionary in its character. The Constitution
is complete and sufficient in all of its limita
tions, and any law or requirement that may
be super-added is unwarranted by the spirit
or letter of the Constitution and without pre
cedent.
Our delegations may proceed to Washing
ton amply qualified to assume their legal
seats iu either house, by being able to fulfill
the constitutional requirements and prepared
to take the oath prescribed in the constitu
tion. Beyond this there 18 not a shadow if a
foundation for an ,,MHttieir admis
sion, and a can
just as reasonably Object to the aurni : :: ot
a Ho i.-ibersbip from Massachusetts, a, Ma.-=n-
a membersh Geor
gia-
But apprehending such an issue, it were
wise in the Southern States to act with the
utmost promptitude iu getting ready their
representatives and having them in Wash
ington by the first Monday in December.—
Some of the States will have no d fficulty in
the matter. But in others, and Georgia
ameng them, the action on the part of their
conventions must be very prompt indeed.
By the strictest economy of time Georgia’s
delegation may be on band ; but as only for
ty days will intervene between tbe meeting
of our convention and tne meeting of con
gress we may read iy conceive with what dis
patch our work must be p osecuted.
The absence of any State may visitjupon us
the most direful consequences by causing a
failure to secure an admittance to seats du
ring tbe coming session, and we will have no
say in the effairs of tbe Government, of w hich
we are undeniably integral parts, for a year
or two to come. We hope our fears in this
matter will prove entirely groundless, and
that the opening of the coming session of con
gress will but perfect the work of restoration
wnich is now progressing so satisfactorialy;
but the old adage about the “ounce of pre
caution” is specially applicable to our situs
ation now and we hope the precaution will be
wisely taken.

foot last week, on the top of Moun Monand
nock, “badly luxating the joint and splitting
off the internal condyle of the tibia,” at least
tbe B ston Transcript says so, and she was
carried down on tbe backs of eight strong
men. Sue must have been “a whale,” to
take eight strong men to carry her.

tral Kailroad has beenjrepaired for a distance
of forty five miles out of Savannah, and as a
consequence, trade has become very brisk,
particularly in cotton, large quantities of
which were stored and lying about the
wharves and presses. Everything looks en
couraging for a thorough revival of all kinds
of traffic as soon as the railroads are restored.
Efforts are being made to establish a line of
steamers between Savannah and Augusta,
and a new line from New York to Savannah
is also about to be established.
Washington, Sept. s.—The Wirz trial was
resumed to-day. Several witnesses testified

New York, Sept. s.—We have Wilmington,
Newbern and Raleigh papers of the 2d inst.
The Raleigh Standard says Gov. Holden
has received a dispatch from President John
son, saying that, if he should visit Richmond,
he will extend bis visit to Raleigh, his native
city.
The Wilmington Herald has a letter from
tbe Hon. B. F. Moore, on the situation and
duties of the approaching State Convention,
on tbe question of slavery, m-gro suffrage, the
nullification of civil contracts entered into
during the war of tbe repudiation of tbe rebel
debt, etc. He stands squarely on Governor
Holden’s platform, and at the same time he
obscurely refers to the question which should
be left by tbe Convention to the action of the
Legislature. Tbe rebel debt may be one of
these, for he does not appear to be in favor of
repudiation though opposed to tbe assump
tion of that debt. The Herald says Mr. Moore
has the reputation of being one of the ablest
jurists of tbe State.
We learn, says the Mail, that Gover
nor Parsons, finding that the pnblic business
employs fully the time of tbe officers of the
Executive Department allowed by law for his
assistance, and that there is no provision of
law for payment of extra offic is to perform
duties in reference to applications for amnes
ty and pardon, submitted for his action, has
determined to make that department selt'-sus.
tuning. He has therefore fixed the fees
upon those applications at the sum of six
dollars each, which will include the fees of.
the Secretary of State, the State tax upon
seals, the compensation of Clerks, and the
current expenses of that particular depart
ment of Executive business, and no other fees
will be received or allowed.
Among the late railroad accidents was
one which, though not involving loss of life,
was very annoying. A baggage car on tbe
Delaware and Raritan road, filled with the
baggage of persons returning from a summer
sojourn at Long Branch, took fire and was
consumed with all its contents, except one
trunk. Several passengers lost their entire
summer wardrobes; while diamonds and
other valuable jewelry were lost. Tbe loss
must be very heavy. During the progress of
the fire a revolver in one of the trunks ex
ploded from the heat, and three balls which
its chambers contained were lodged in a fence
by the road side.
