A VBKK Or PRATER AID THE PROP
KR PRELUU1RT.
The newspaper* ere eloquent over the sub
lime suggestion of a week of universal pray
er, beginning Sunday, January 3,1869. We
will'cheerfully, aid in giving a timely circu
lation to the programme and hope it will do
much good. We hope a week of prayer will
tend to mollify the minds of men—to miti
gate hatred and -prejudice—rebuke injustice
and oppression—moderate greed, avarice and
extortion,—the insane fury to be rich—the
excesses and follies of fashion; aod shame the
brazen front of vice.
But it seems to us most of these things
which are classed as the results of prayer,
holy writ put* as its preliminary conditions.
The good book tells ns, for illustration,
"when thou bringeet thy gift to the altar
.. and there rememberest thou has aught against
thy brother, leave there thy gift before the
altar—first be reconciled to thy brother and
*hxk come and offer thy gift.” We are not
tnre of the words, but the main proposition
will not be disputed. Prayer from hearts
rankling with hatred, prejudice, passion,and
intolerance—or burdened with the. guilt of
injustice and oppression are vain oblations.
They will do no good. The Bible insists upon
certain preliminary conditions of pnrgation
and redress; but they are very generally lost
. light of, so far as we can discover.
Let onr Northern friends, before they go
into this week of prayer, ponder well the
gross injustice they have practiced toward the
South, and the spirit of illiberality, intoler
ance and vindictiveness they still manifest to
the whites of this section. Upon any fair con-
- struction of the facts they cannot acouse the
Sonth of a purpose to injure them. It is true
we attempted secession in self-defence, but
they well knew this remedy had always been
held by the South to be just and lawful; and
to say the very least, the argument had left
such latitude for honest doubts that many
intelligent Northern minds sided with the
South in her view of the matter. Upon what
. view of justiee or liberality, therefore, do
• they impute to the Southern people the moral
guilt- of treason, and perseveringly seek to
impose upon us political and. civil disabili
ties, superadded to tbe awful catalogue of
material wrongs and injuries they indicted
upon us during the war 1 Why do they rejoice
in the-work of slander and detraction and
industriously seek to whelm us under the
opprobium of the world ? Why do they sys
tematically outrage all justice, fair dealing
and charitable construction wherever the
South is concerned t Why, in fact, does
their hatred provoke them into treason
against Nature herself, so that they study to
exalt the besotted African over the heads of
men of their own race whose ancestors as
aisted with theirs in laying the foundations
of this Government—men who have them
selves fought and suffered for it ? Why is
well-nigh every Northern pulpit resonant
with the thunder of denunciation and the so-
called gospel of peace, wrested, in cur case,
into a ministry of wrath and hatred i
Let the Northern people introduce this
week of prayer with a due and careful re
consideration of their conduct and disposi
tion towards the South. We are entitled, by
the law of God, to fair and charitable con
struction ; nor can there be a cordial Chris
tian or political fellowship between the sec
tions so long as it is withheld.
SHALL PLANTATIONS THE UKK OF
, GEORGIA
While we share somewhat in Mr. Jefferson’s
horror of crowded populations, and believe
that great aggregated masses of people corrupt
one another, and are fountains of social and
political corruption, it is quite true, on the
other hand,.that a very scattered and sparse
population is a highly unfavorable condition
to every kind of progress and improvement.
People so situated are not only denied the
highest social enjoyments, but- they cannot
have tbe best means of religious and intellect
ual culture and are destitute of the econo
mies of more populous regions. They cannot
have strong churches, well-organized schools,
public libraries, good roads, cheap and easy
conveyances, convenient marketa and sup
plies, cheap and efiScient mechanical contriv
ances of all kinds, and a hundred other name
less conveniences, facilities and advantages
which arc found in populous regions.
To enjoy and to improve life to the highest
degree, we must‘have people enough all
through Georgia to maintain efficiently all
those organizations most conducive to the
highest development of the people, religious,
intellectual and social.
It is true that, under the old system of
vast landed estates, a social style and cultiva
tion ever have existed in tbe South which
found no rival in any other section of the
country. But that was exceptional. It was
restricted to families of wealth, and it was,
after all, to a great degree, the product of
quite other conditions of society. Our landed
gentry traveled much, and availed themselves
of the best means of culture and improvement,
not only in the United States, but also in
Europe. With these advantages it was not
surprising that the old plantation—remote
from towns—perhaps miles from a neighbor,
displayed in tbe domestic sanctnary of tbe
proprietor a polish and refinement—a charm
ing esse and elegance, and an order of intel
lectual culture scarcely inferior to the best
European circles, and not often encountered
on this continent.
But these same people, who in summer
were to be found worshiping in stately
churches and hearing the most eloquent an 1
learned divines, drove miles in the winter to
their little log church and listened with a
few score neighbors, perhaps, to a rude dis
course from some plain farmer, induced to
preach by the lack of one devoted to the
sacred calling. As for schools there were
none to which our planter would think of
sending his children—and probably there
were none within reasonable distance able to
lay the groundwork of a liberal education.
Nor were there satisfactory facilities of any
bind in the vicinage for the moral, intellec
tual and social improvement of the people.
This state of things grew out of tbe South
ern agricultural system—its organization and
development. Organized under a system
of slavery, the natural development of the
system itself was in large proprietorships and
entensive farming operations. These separa
ted the people and made numerous and strong
communities impossible; but at the same
time, they enabled proprietors to avail them
selves of the advantages afforded by distant
and popnlons communities.
But with tbe end of slavery these resources
are cut off, and we must now call into active
existence around us all the agencies of men
tal, moral and social improvement or we
cannot enjoy them. Reduce our farms—im-
Texas Correspondence of the Telegraph. J 33"5T TELE GRAPH
.THE AGRICULTURAL DEPARTMENT
.ON THE COTTON CROP.
The Agricultural Department, 80th nit.,
-represents that the cotton crop will be small-
.er. than last year. The culture was better and
•the preparations for planting more complete
—the labor is more reliable and regnlar as a
general rule. Early in the season the
promise was fine—serious losses have of late
been incurred; however, principally from
depredations of the cotton caterpillar or army
worm, which proved more general and eevere
in Louisiana than elsswhere; also very
troublesome in portions of Alabama and Miss
issippi, and somewhat prevalent in the Caro-
linas and Arkansas. The heavy rains in
Tennessee and the Southwest have caused
anxiety, but less damage than was expected.
The returns indicated a smaller crop possibly
by fifteen or twenty per cent, than last year,
■but a complete estimate will not be made till
■the crop is gathered.
Radicalism.—Tbe Radical party pretend to love
liberty, and have made slaves of the people of
•eleven States. They say they are for the Union:
Why,'then, is not the Unton restored ? ' They have
bad the power and four yean of time to effect re
storation ; why has it not been done ? They affect
economy, and have given ns the costliest Govern
ment on earth. Prating of virtue, they have made
it tbe most corrupt. Clamoring for equal rights,
. they proecribe more people than any monarchy in
Christendom. Invoking freedom, they establish
and maintain the darkest despotism in eleven
States. Profeseing toleration, they proclaim the
acceptance of their creed tbe alternative ol ostra
cism and disfranchisement. Howling about puri
fying the Government, they have made dishonesty
and holding office Identical. Preaching principle,
they subsist by passion and prejudice. Deploring
caste, they elevate blacks above whites in one-
third of the country. Magnifying loyalty, they
have trampled ont every worthy principle In onr
system. Claiming statesmanship, their officials
are either conspirators or thieves. Landing inde
pendence, they arc servile slaves to a party caucus.
Pretending to invite criticism, they stifle freedom
Of debate in Congress by partisan rules, and drown
it elsewhere In blood. Insisting upon peace, they
prolong the old war and strive to stir up a new
one. They ve made an anarchy, and called it
peace. Pretension without sincerity is their pro
gramme, to be carried ont by tyranny. Their
creed is hypocrisy; their plea is cant; their prac-
tlca is theft; their end is despotism.
This, Georgians, is Radicalism. Let yonr votes
to-day thunder its rebake.
Union Pacific Railway.—Washington
telegrams of tbe 29th announce that the
track on the Union Pacific Railroad is com
pleted to within one hnndred and twenty
• miles'of Salt Lake City; and the Central
Pacific Road from Sacramento eastward is
finished to within two and twenty miles of
that city, leaving only three hundred and
seventy miles of track to be laid before the
, connection of tbe two lines;
prove our cultivation, and the work is ac
complished. The Old Plantation of two or
three thousand acres should now maintain,
instead of one, some twenty or thirty active
proprietors. Manures and skillful cultivation
must produce one to three bales to the acre.
Then, with denser population, we Bball have
a better social life—large churches—a culti
vated ministry—free schools—good roads—
good mills—good mechanics—good machine
ry—and the old land will spring Into new
life. These are the ideas which should im
press Georgians, and induce them to plan and
labor for a speedy realization of all their
promised benefits.
Killing Frost.—There was a heavy frost
Sunday night. The mercury stood at thirty-
six a little after sunrise Monday morning.
Bill posters who were at work at 4 o’clock,
My their pa«te-bruskes were frozen stiff. We
think the night closed up cotton prodnetion
for the yew 1868.
Fon Peace.—Tbe Austrian Diet has added
fiirty thousand soldiers to the army—as they
say, in tbe interest of peace. Tbe Radicals
icfedArme to the South in tbe same interest.
APPLYING GUANO TO WHEAT LANDS.
A Jones connty correspondent asks: “Will
you or some of yonr readers, in an early
number of the Telegraph, give the mode of
manuring wheat lands with guano ?” Let
onr planting friends, who have had practi
cal experience on the subject, send us their
answers to the question. Awaiting these, we
will give the plan tee should adopt, in the
absence of a seeder or driller, which we hope
all our planters will provide themselves with
at the earliest opportunity. With the driller,
the seed in the ground (the later properly
adulterated) are applied at the same time in
the drill with much more efficacious and
economical effect to the plant. Bnt assum
ing that we have no driller or seeding ma
chine, we should proceed as follows:
After breaking np the ground thoroughly
to the depth of six to ten inches, we should
lay it off in the usual fashion and scatter the
seed with as much uniformity as possible,
using say a bushel or a bushel and a half to
the acre. Let the sower be followed at a short
distance,by the hand who applies the fertilizer.
If it is guano, it should be well pulverized and
thoroughly mixed with three times its quanti
ty of pulverized gypsuda or land plaster,ifyou
have it. If nof£ mix with ashes or dry pul
verized swamp muck, mixed with salt, or
any other fertilizing ingredient at hand,
which may reduce the strength of the guano.
When well scattered over the surface, har
row in at once with tbe seed, and ifyou will
take the trouble to extemporize a light roller
out of a pine log, and pass it over the land
afterwards,you will add much to the certainty
of germination. v-
Gcfod farmers tell us that the harrow passed
over tbe crop in early spring—say tbe latter
part of February or first of March,—and fol
lowed with a top dressing of snperphosphate
or any other good fertilizer, produces a splen
did effect. The harrow Btirs the earth, tears
np but very little of the grain, and with the
manure, gives the crop a,wonderful impetus
and a largely increased productive power.
This will do for our answer, and now let
the farmers give theirs through the Tele
graph. We shall be happy to get&nd toim-
part some information upon this interesting
and important topic. •
The Political Doctors.—Seward makes
a speech against the Radical party and
winds.np by declaring he shall vote for
Grant, as the shortest way (we infer) to kill
that party. Judge Chase, as to principle,
says he stands with a foot on each platform
and will not vote at all, but he is confident
Grant will be too much for the Radicals and
split them up in six months.. It is comfbrt-
able to see that both these distinguished
doctors are sore the Radical party will be
killed with its own medicine.

Richmond, Tex., October 26*1868.
Our District Court was in session last week,
and will continue this week until the dockets
are gone through with. The dockets, both
State and civil, are comparatively light. The
grand jury found but few bills, and their gen
eral presentment exhibits a gratifying picture
of the morals of Fort Bead. Few counties
in any State,. of the same population, can
boast of the commission of as little crime or
show as moral a record.
Membersof tbe Bar from adjoining counties
and from places more remote, represent their
respective localities as being remarkably free
from crime, lying reports of Radicals to the
contrary notwithstanding. Exemption from
crime is not claimed for Texas, bnt tbere is
much more laid at her door than belongs to
her. Being conceded to be superlative in
many things, I suppose her maligners think
she should be so in erime also. This sort of
reasoning does her great injustice.
Gentlemen from various parts of the State
in attendance on court, with whom I have
conversed, represent the political feeling of
the people as nearly unanimous in favor of
Conservatism. If the nominees of the Dem
ocratic party are defeated, wo shall be clothed
in deeper gloom than any other portion of
the country, for the weighty mailed hand of
military despotism has been preyed more
heavily on us than on any other State. Hav
ing felt its relentless iron grasp, so long and
so keenly, we may well fear its continuance,
in the event of Radical success. The elec
tion will be over before this encounters the
types, but may God preserve us from such
a calamity.
The heavy sugar planters, below us on the
river, have commenced rolling, but I have
not heard whether tbe yield is good or the
reverse. At beBt. the little sugar that is made
in Texas never affects the market, one way
or the other. I wish it did, and that it was
in my power to hold out to your readers the
prospect of cheap “sweetnin’ ” another year.
Planters talk hardly anything but “Ramie.”
have seen no one who has tried the new
sensation,” but if it is only half what is
claimed for it, it is the eureka of Southern
agriculturists. There is nothing farther from
my intention than to throw any doubt on the
excellence of the new textile, but I have an
indistinct recollection of the great things
promised from-the introduction of tbe mo-
rus multicaulis. Perhaps the Senior editor
of the Telegraph has too. I trust it is not
anti-progressive to say that a reasonable
amount of caution should be exercised in the
adoption of an entirely new article of pro
duction.
Were it not that Geo. D. Prentice is still
at the helm of the Louisville Journal, one
would be inclined to think, judging from the
many good things that have appeared in the
political press in tbe South, during the pres
ent canvass, that that prince of journalists
had ascended and that pieces of his. mantle
bad fallen on tbe shoulders of numbers of
bis editorial brethren.
If we are defeated in the present canvass,
no one can shake his despondent head at
the Macon Telegraph. Sound discretion,
backed by able argument, and convincing
logic bas marked its entire course through
out the contest. My attention was called to
this fact, by an astute politician, who is an
attentive reader of my number. If the same
wise course had marked the entire Conserva.
tive press of the Booth, if the hands of our
Northern friends had not been strengthened,
they would certainly not have been
weakened.
Considering the earliness of the season, a
good deal of cotton has been received at onr
principal marts for this staple, Galveston
and Houston. ThiB is owing to the fact,
that most of the planters were compelled to
obtain accommodations to make their crops,
and are now forced to push their cotton
forward, as rapidly as possible, in order to
meet their engagements. The amount re
ceived np to this time, is well calculated to
mislead superficial observers as to tbe
amount produced. But those who look
carefully into the matter, sec and understand
the cause of this.
In a Judical District above here, Judgo
Sabin, the presiding genius, is accompanied
in his riding by a detachment of U. S. sol
diers. This is done in order to force negro
juries on unwilling litigants. Bnt the mem
bers of the bar, a pretty cute set of gentle
men everywhere, have unanimously deter
mined to continue their cases generally, and
where it can bo done without prejudice, sub
mit them in vacation to arbitration. In bis
zeal to vindicate negro supremacy, and thrust
a nauseous dose down tbo throats of parties
averse to swallowing the repulsive drug, his
“Honor” finds himself completely flanked.
We have haA a good many bracing North
ers within a few weeks, bnt we lacked several
degrees of frost. The fall has been delight-,
ful: but this season is always charming
throughout the Southern country.
The Indians have committed more than
their usual amount of robberies and murders
along our frontier this fall. U. S. soldiers
would be more profitably employed in guard
ing onr exposed points, than in accompany
ing Judical robes, for they ore certainly elf no
use in this business, and it must be a strange
ly perverted taste that regards them as orna
mental in tbeir new vocation. Par Fois.
