MACON, GEORGIA, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 20,1883. Arirtress to Cotton Plnuiur*. Millfiofyille, April ]x To the People nf Georyfo ; The Legislature at its present as urn has liad the sul.jeet of further restricticn cf planting cotton referred to iht ir cGUaidera tion, and after due deliberation thereon, has passed the following resolution * llesoived, That in the opinion of (he Genera] Assembly, the cotton planters of tins State uig in no way Leltiud their other patriot*! brethr<?*i in dekotiou to our com mon cause ; aud their voluntary yielding up the planting of cotton the past year for then country s good, deseives our highest com mendations. Believing that the best interests of the' country require that a large supply of pro visions should be raised this yoo.u There fore, Be it resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the State of That all the planters in this State he, aod they are hereby earnestly requested, io re strict the culture of cotton as far as practi cable and employ nil their available force In the raising of provision crops. Resolved, That a committee of two from the Senate and three from the House, be appointed to address the people on the sub ject of the foregoing resolutions. i hat duty has been assigned to u->, and we desire to bring the matter immediate!v to your consideration. I he question of a nation's supply of food, is ail times an important one. in times of war it becomes greatly augmented, and to us, cut off as we are, from any external re sources, it rises to the greatest magnitude. This is more especially the case since the enemy, determined ou our destruction, and finding himself unable to accomplish his purpose by the valor of his arms, now re solves to gtiiu his cud by starvation. To the mind of the patriot and the phi lanthropist, this is appalling. Where an enemy, leeliug, he has a just cause of a quarrel, seeks to redress himself by open, manly combat, we may confidently rely on his magnanimity for kind treatment in case of defeat or capture; but when Lis mean aud malignant heart conceives the hellish purpose of subjugating, not only the warriors of a nation, but old men, the women and their little ones by the slow and torturing pain of hunger, then we cannot hope for mercy if perchance we should fall into his hands. That this is the plan of our enemy is ful ly proved, not only by their threats, but by i heir acts ; by the occupation of much of the fertile lands of our country, hy the destruc tion of the supply of provisions, aud of our farming utensils, aud homes, and the pre vention of the agricultural pursuits of our people. It had been hoped from the beginning that this cruel, relentless war, waged with so much fury, would soon expend its rage, and that a returning sense of reason aud of right on the part of our invaders, would soon force them to acknowledge the justness of our cause and leave us to the enjoyment of the great blessing of human happiness and liberty which the God of our fathers had vouchsafed to us. But in this we have been disappointed, and w« now ate a nettled pur pose on the part of our enemies to persist in this devastating war, so long as they may be able. It then becomes ns to guard with the greatest care against the threatened calami ty; and the Legislature at its last session out of abundant caution, passed an act lim iting the planting of cotton to three acres to the field hand, which is still in force But to the praise of our people be it spok en, that in this, as in every patriotic move ment for our deliverance, they had taken the lead in this matter; aud while the Legisla ture determined as a general rule that three acres was the limit which none should ex coed, the planters of the State had already voluntarily imposed upon themselves a great er restriction. This praiseworthy conduct so fully illustrates the intelligence and vir tue of that class of people, and justifies the proud boast of our claim to self-government, that we deem it inexpedient to impose any further restriction by law. Yet we desire earnestly to appeal to you in behalf of our common cause —the cause ol cur soldiers in camp and their families at home ; and while it is our duty to feed and clothe aud sustain the soldier io the battle field aud thus give him the strong arm, it is equally our duty to support and maintain his lamily at home te,give the stout heart to defend his country’s cause ; not only does a sense of duty but the feelings of a com mon brotherhood alike prompt this course, for thev are our brothers aud sons aad com rades in arms, aud their wives are our sis ters and daughters, all rendered doubly dear iu this day of our distress. The efforts of our people to raise a gram crop the past year was crowned with an abundant harvest in the southern, south western aud middle portions ol the Siua, but was a failure in the upper and northern sections owing the great drougth ; and an alarming fear was felt, particularly in the latter scetious, that we should come to want because the planters of the State might cul tivate too large a portion of their lauds iu cotton. - . _ , ... A diligent inquiry has satisfied us tha. there is iu our State a plentitul supply of coru, aud that the scarcity where it exists is owins to the want of transportation brought about by the use of our railroads for milita ry purposes : and we are gratified to state that mover attention is being given that subject, which we trust will remedy this evil lU We exhort our whole people to u?e the Z'eotvst industry, and practice th? strictest economy, in order to raise the most abund ant supply of provisions which may bo ne e=6sary ticder any emergence. The varying fortunes of war, warn us to prepare lor ihe worst ) the wasteful ex penditures of su army, very often unavoida bly, bids us prepare a double ration for it ; iw.d the dependent ones, the wive* and chil dren of our gallant soldiers who to-day face the foe,and the widows aud orphans of those brave rc?n who have fallen in this war, call on us to lay up in our store houses aud barns a portion for them. To the planter-* the Stale we confident ly look lor all the help that it i« their power to give. Their patriotic couise in the past fully justifies that expectation. By & proper arrangement of crops you may greatly aid in the distribution of provisions, and ws advise that the uior»; necessary and bulky r*rt;c!e of corn be p'anted in larger quanti ties in those sections more convenient to transportation ; thus whole farms even in the best cotton regions may be devoted ex clusively to grain and provisions, embracing under the latter term, not only meat of all kinds, but the various articles of vegetable tood useful and agreeable to the soldier iu the carnp or hospital, and which are eagerlv sought after in the market. \\ hile we would not underestimate the prime importance of cotton to us as a people nnd recognize that staple a3 the basis of oui commercial prosperity, yet in view of the circumstances surrounding us, we advise that not exceeding one and a half acres to the full hand bo cultivated the present sea son on an average \ this will give ou a fair yield, sixty thousand bales, one half of which may bo for home consumption, and one half for commercial purposes. To all we say be of good cheer. A kind Providence crowns our arms with success ; and with smiliog verduc over all our fields, gives us promise of an abundant harvest. Our trust is in Him, that “the barrel of meal shall not waste, neither shall the cruse of oil, fail f until the day that Ho send il> d|divcrauce from our enemies. T. M. Furlow, A. J.
