Men from the h'orih who have never been South before, and |«e all their ideas of this section crude and imprfi ct from partisan sources, will meet in load intercourse with representative men of £« South, and find their prejudices and erro- jeons notions dissipated and neutralized. They till learn to know us as wo are, and not as our Oftnies. for the nnworthiest purposes, have pjuttd >w. When such representative men ns jamey and Cameron nit down quietly with Hampton and others for a survey of the field with their own eyes, the truth cannot be blinked. That we are at peace with each other and tholly Absorbed in efforts to lift onr material interests out cf the dnst, and that we have put nr hands to the plough manfully and in good fiilb. with no disposition to lookback, are facts lUt such intercourse mnst establish. We are filling to givo the class of our visitors referred to full credit for honesty of purpose, in this di rection, at least. They say they are here on this errand, and we will believe them till the future contradicts them. If a visit to Georgia it this time raises np one more advocate at the Horth. who slrnll demand in the name of truth ind justice, that oar story bo believed, we shall hive made jnst ibnt much clear on the transac tion. We hope to mako a great deal more, and its another simitar occasion to find ourselves in their fall enjoyment. The Florida Orange Crop and Fish- • cries. The beautiful orange crop, we are glad to Uaru. is full one-third larger than-last year, and fir above an average one. Great improvements kire been introduced into tho oaro and culture if the trees, and the Florida orange groves now exhibit, a rare and beautiful spectacle, while, in point of profit, as compared with tho labor ind capital invested, tho orange crop is far in alvatico of all other Southern crops. The bulk of the E ist Florida oranges go, of course, to New York ; hnt large shipments are made to Stv.imrab and Charleston, and from those ports into tin; interior of Georgia, the Carolinas and Tennessee. Tho vast qnnnlity of oranges which Ind* a i .'.rhct in Macon is brought, generally, by railway transportation direot from Jackson ville IYi.ix Corpus is the principle shipper to this p'liut, both of fruit and fish, and to his en- lerp- is.; onr people mainly owe the recent abun dant supplies of these delicacies. Both come from tho neighborhood of Jacksonville. Onr ibamhnt stores of mullet, breams, perch and trout are tho prodnee of tho St. Johns River, vhilf the snappers, bass and red fish aro abnn- fctit about its mouth. Through tho Brunswick Railroad we shall, in * few days, have n more direct and rapid com munication with Florida and its treasures of lild and flood will find, we hope, a cheaper and flicker transportation to tho Macon market and points beyond. The IPcarl Democracy. Notwithstanding Greeley has killed tho Dem urs'i.- party time and again, on paper, and sun- Southern editors have preached its funeral Urnion and dnly buried it, it presents a most lively appearance whenever an election takes pile-. I(,-re is the latest effort of tho defunct *ear<-rn: • * “It now seems that the Democrats will have * majority in the Constitutional Convention vhidi i* t„ meet in Springfield next month to ••vise ihe Constitution of Illinois.” Tte blessed State of tho “late lamented” has. lone Democratic, and the victorious party is joinj; to remodel a Constitution which tho Rsd- >m!s lnve umlj simply infamous. Tho atten tion of Southern monrnere at the lato funeral •eremonies over tho dend Democracy is invited to these little things. Tho Radicals of tho North k»ve seen them with special alarm and constor- tttion.—Baltimore Sun. Apropos to the above, we understand that one •f the Radical members of Congress from this State has been indulging recently in sundry •hackles over what he styles another sign of Democratic decay in Georgia, viz: The consol idation of the Telegraph and Journal and Mes- tonger. lie was congratulating Gov. Bullock •pon the fact, and was especially gleeful, avail- lag himself of tho ocoaaion to make sundry lings at the Journal and Messenger. We hope he feels better. If ho will tako the double, however, to announce himself a Candi da for Congress and stay in tho field till the of election, ho will find out how dead the Party is, in bis district, at least. And wo tell him another thing, too: That the Telegraph •s® MrissEtoEB intends, hereafter, as horeto- kte, to make a stronger fight than ever for toaud principles and against tho corruptions •ad wrongs of the dominant party. Tho Demo- **tie parly now, as ever, is the natural custo dian of thoso principles, and ns such, tho Telx- •sapu and Messexqzb will give it an undisguised •ad hearty support. If this honorablo gentle man, or any other, snpposes that this consolida tion business has nny meaning further than was ••pressed in these columns on Snnday, and en tity if bo is gloating over the prospect of •weakening in tho battle line of Democracy herealmuts, lot him wait and see—that’s all. nr HO If. HARK . A. COOPER. At 3£ t. it. an immense concourse of people, ‘numbering into the thousands, assembled in the amphitheatre to listen to the orator of the day, who was briefly and appropriately introduced by Hon. Benjamin C. Yancy, President of the Georgia Agricultural Society. After the usual salutation, the Hon. Mr. Cooper addressed those assembled as fellows: To the Members of the Slate Agricultural So- cicty, to assemble at their Annual Fair at Macon, Oa.\ on the Cth of Aorember, 18C9 : Gentlemen :—According to a promise elicit ed from me by your Secretary, I have the honor to present to you this paper.' The snbject for consideration is “ The Destiny of Georgia, in duced by recent changes, and the Interest nnd Policy of Cotton Planters indicated thereby.” The changes here referred to have been brought about by a revolution through which we have recently passed. They relate to our social, political and financial affairs, and have deeply involved the common labor of the coun try. They have been produced by a combina tion and concentration of the great powers which rule and direct all governments. We believe that the following propositions will be fonnd to bo jnst and trne, to-wit: Fir«t. No notion or commnnity was ever powerfnl amongst men and nations which did not use the mechanical powers for manufactn ring purposes. . Secondly. A nation or people iR powerful in proportion to its prodnets in mannfuctnres. Thirdly; Politically, socially and financially, the manufacturing interest, compared with the agricnltural interest in influence and control, is as three to one. Fourthly. Agriculture, manufacturing, and commerce are the great elements of pence. The two last are intimately associated. Closely allied to these, stands also mining. The first is diffuse, and never is concentrated. Tho oth ers always combine nnd readily coalesce. Hence they cohtrol the government! They bring to their aid the machinery of banking and the in fluence of currency. A fonrth interest has lately grown np—a power equal, if not superior, to any. This is the railroad interest. It combines and concentrates in a day. It is eminently sym pathetic. This power, with its associates, tho telegraph and express, will lead off r.nd control governments and all other powers, unless gov ernments, by accumulation and concentration, shall assume to control it. Fifthly. One man may control tnillinns-in man ufacturing and railroading, and may thereby ex ert an influence in proportion; whilst, in ngri- cnlture he is limited to ft ffiw hnndred thou sands, and his influence is limited in proportion, in the inverse ratio, as three is to one. ’ These propositions ore so well understood, and so well established by history, that I will not consume your time by attempting to elucid ate them. The State of Georgia, by the adaptation of climate And soil to tho product of the great sta ple, hns been, heretofore, necessarily an agricul tural district. This was true also of tho entire South. A system of labor entailed upon us by our ancestors made it so. Tho perquisites arising from a change in this system of labor, forces upon us a destiny which must place ns in a different relation to each other, as well as to the great elements of power in government, referred to above. We must be transferred or transposed from that power, which, by diffusiveness, is felt hut little to a combination of all the combined and concen trated powers, and have them clusely allied with that of agricnltnre. In other words, the cotton planter of the the South mnst bo identi fied with the manufacturing and commercial interests of the conntry; and therefore must be associated with the railroad and shipping in terest, the banking, tho telegraph, and the ex press interest. Into -.hose channels their an nual gains must necessarily flow; otherwise, the exponents of these interests mnst hold these gains snbject to their will. The annual profit on three millions of bags of cotton mnst dem onstrate for itself, or be administered UDon by others, since there is no longer a place for it, as heretofore, to cherish the power of reproduc tion. We are now in the transition state. We may direct, but cannot stay the progress. Tho cotton planiers of tho South mnst seize the op portunity, fall in and grasp some or all of these powers, and thereby become tho princes of the land. It is now the destiDy of the South that it shall become a vastly powerfnl manufacturing district.- If from inertness or want of enter prise they will not avail themselves of the op portunity now before them, they have one al ternative-left, and only one, that is, to become ^ ^ j the overseers or managers of the incumbents of j practicability, the”success.’or the beneficial re- th iso great powers, with the privilege of hold- j sn its which they propose, we have only to refer ing titles to the lands they cnltivate, conpled j to tho est-ahliahmenta now operating in the with an obligation to produce and prepare for . of Georgia. Tho history of one nlone will the market the rich staple, out of which those j 8n ffi ce . With a capita! of less than $500,000, it inenmbents shall, at their pleasure, take what j j s making an annual dividend of twenty per their cupidity and interest may designate. The j con j paid quarterly, with a reserve fnnd, equal planters will have this one guarantee of the hi w, 1 - - -• to-wit that tho soil is theirs. A guarantee based upi n the- interests of, and secured by, powers turn them all; shall grasp thereby all the ele ments • of power, heretofore enumerated, by which government is formed; by which laws- are made and administered; by which science sheds its light; the arts made to flourish; the literature of the country is made to adorn it; by which the freedom of conscience may be de fended ; and the moral grandeur of man himself shall be exhibited in the image of his Makes* Then we shall have the balance of trade in our favor. Then, and not till then, will capital flow to us as a tide, and immigration ns s wave roll in uppa ua without an effort on onr part. Ndw, sirs, will yon ask where tho money is to come from? I answer from the planters of the South first, if they pleasei They have the money power. Unless thus used, it must run to waste. Again, let us look at the facts. First, All the water power at command in Georgia, now ac cessible by railroads and navigation, is suf ficient to manufacture the raw material of two such States, in addition to driving the ma chinery of all operations, necessary to cotton or woolen milling; whether it be of wood ot metals. Secondly. The material ores of metals needed, are in richest profusion found within onr limits everywhere, identified and associated with the water power referred to—iron especially. This is in quality nnd quantity both iD Georgia and Alabama, Virginia, Teenessee, Kentucky, Missouri, Mississippi, Aikansas and Texas, unsurpassed in any count ly, and nneqnaled by any corresponding portion of the United States. On a former occasiou we felt called upon to present to tho Legislature of Georgia an esti mate of the_resources in this State in iron, as compared with those of Pennsylvania. We then demonstrated, satisfactorily, as wethongbt, that those of Georgia far exceeded the like in Penn sylvania. At the same time we presented also an estimate of the iron crop of Pennsylvania, as compared to the cotton crop of Georgia, de monstrating that- the former direct and incident, exceeded the latter. Hence we ventured the opinion, that in the sequel, the pTodncts of iron iu Georgia, could only be equaled by those of cotton; and that the powerof the State, through the agency of tho farmer, would far transcend that derived from the cotton. We still think so. Thirdly. The most interesting and available localities for water power in Georgia, are ndw ' in market at specnlntive prices. They mnst nnd will’be taken hold of, very soon, by some one. One alone that, we know of has power in twelve months to convert half the crop of Geor gia into manufactured products. These local ilies, being secured, will have much to do with leading and controlling the-manufacturing in terests of Georgia. The gains of tbe'eotton planter on the crop of tins year will probably be eqnal to $10,250,- 000. Four parts of this, say $500,000, may, without inconvenience, be appropriated to the purchase of those localities, and will bo suffi cient to accomplish it This will secure power sufficient, Trben added to the thirty-five fasto ries now in operation, to "pin np, annually, /be cotton crop of Georgia. There will the.n be an nually $9 000,000 in the hartf* of planters for the erection and operating t“ c 50 factories to Jm erected at the several localities reft,'.* 1 ^® to /*" e annual combination of skilled labor. rnL ^hor of nil sorts, will cause an appreciation of the property at these localities until it shall double, treble and quadruple the prime cost, thereby affording ample means to build and carry on with ; thus enabling the planters to appropriate other millions to the purchase or construclion of interesting and important liqgs of railroad. One of these happens now to be presented, ex tending entirely across the State, traversing thfbnghont its entire course, the richest, most varied and most abundant resources of valuable minerals which can be fonnd in tho world. It has also, along its lino, the most ample and abundant water power for manufacturing. If is blessed, also, with the most salubrious cli mate, and a soil luxuriantly rich for agricnltu ral purposes. Tbi3 line of railroad can bo en grossed by the planters with tho use of a very limited amount, of this year’s gains. They wiil then have a hold on not only the manufacturing interest and tho power it affords, bnt .they will have a cine to the power of railroading. ’ Here they will make their permanent homes, nnd combine their agricnltnral power with all other powers. * Here they will -annually open a mar ket for their products of cotton, receive it and convert it into a manufactured product, to be shipped by themselves, by direct line of ex ports, to its proper destination ; for which pur pose they will have transportation by land and by sen, and financial and mercantile agents at home and abroad. You liavo now. sirs, the crowning suggestion which X proposed to make, after stating the facts here enumerated. If the cotton planter, on re ceiving these suggestions, should doubt the A Sign of tiie Times.—A cable dispatch from Paris says that it is now declared that after •II, the dogma of the infallibility of the Pope is •ot to be forced on the (Ecumenical Council. Die Pope declares that he must be assured of •n imposing majority of the Bishops in favor of tiie dogma; otherwise he would prefer tliatrthe •alijfct should not be introduced, desiring to ••otd a discussion which might lessen the in- " deuce of the principle. Meantime the Jtsuits •reusing every effort to secure an overwhelming m »jority. which they can neither wield nor check. Sirs, addressing, ds I do, a body of intelligence rarely convened, it would be an abnse of your patience here to amplify. Then let me proceed to call your attention to a few facts, nnd then to crown them with one suggestion. The facts are these: The cotton crop of Georgia is stated to be 500,000 bales, averaging 500 pounds each. The value of this per hundred pounds, in paper cur rency of the United States, after paying freights and charges to Liverpool from New York, if sold in Liverpool, is $28,841. For this, the New York shipper pays in New York $20 00, thris leaving for him a balance of $2.84 J for his profits. A bale of 500 pounds, therefore, affords him a profit of $14,221. Tho crop from Geor gia of 500,000 bales, when thus sold, will there fore afford to the New York shippers, on aggre gate profit of $7,200,000. The cotton crqp of the South is supposed to be 3,000,000 bales. Two million bales shipped as above and sola in Liverpool, afford to the New York shippers a benefit of $28,840,000. This is the result of one crop. Is it wonderful, therefore, that with this to build on Now York should be a great city, with centralised power to make and control the policy of n nation? Again, cotton in the process of manufactur ing, loses 15 per cent, or 15 ponnds t in each 100 pounds—equal to 75 pounds par bale. This amounts to 7,500 bales in a crop of 500,- 000 bales, or nearly one bale in six; which, if valued at 20 cents a bale, is eqnal to $750,000. The planter loses this. Ho also loses the freight. Ho pays on this waste. The freight from New York to Liverpool alone is 35 cents per hundred pounds, which is equal per bale to $1 Vi. The freight from New York to Liverpool on 500,000 bales made in Georgia, if shipped from New York to Liver pool, is $875,000. The raw cotton, when manufactured into yarns suitod to the foreign markets, diminishes tho bulk 15 per cent., and therefore saves about one-sixth of this freight, which is eqnal to $145,833 saved in freight on waste from a crop of 500,000 bales. The manufacturing of tho raw material at home saves also the waste of 15 per cent., and turns it to domestic account. Manufacturing nt home for the foreign mar ket adds two-thirds to the value of the bulk. Hence, ono bale of ootton thus manufactured is worth three of the raw cotton, say equal to $300. The erdp of 500,000 bales manufactured in Georgia, less 15 per cent, waste, is 425,000 sum of $50,000,000, tho value cf 500,000 bales sold in the raw state. Thero is, therefore, a balance in favor of the country of $87,500,000, produced by converting tho raw cotton into a manufactured article. Add to this the sum of $145,000 paid on the waste when shipped and saved by manufactu ring at home. Add also the value of the waste saved and used at homo, by estimate $100,000, and yon have tho snm of $87,745,000 made and saved to tho country by manufacturing the raw material. Hence it is perceived that you re turn to tho producers the value of their raw material, cs is case of sale and shipment, and nearly double that sum to them and their coun try, in proceeds of sale of manufactured goods. This comes to them, or to the State in.imports, or in specie; being that mnch over and above what is now received,, and that is an annual result. . Great and interesting as this may seem to tne planters, the results to the country financially, politically and socially, are grand beyond any ordinary conception. Such an annual increase of labor products, say $87,000,000, through the agency of one commodity, produced by one class of oitizens, will annually increase tho pop- illation and meins, material and money, the wealth of the State can only be told by hundreds of millions. Until towns and cities sball.be built where the forest now stands, and until thousands of wheels shall turn by t&e power of water; until tho planters and pro ducers of this staplo shall found, and build und to half itscapital. invested in available securities. One of i*s largest stockholders, ns we learn, in vested $5000 in stock, from which he now holds six hundred shares, worth $'00 000. paying him an annual dividend of $12,000. In this estab lishment, however, there is a long list of stock holders. nnd very few of them are planters. Such will bo the relation of planters to manu facturing establishments which must soon he built np within the limits of Georgia, if they de cline these suggestions. Such is destiny, and with the growth of this interest the great, miner al region of Georgia will he developed in aid of it, and railroads will open the latter up—will carry and wield hofb. I have, now, gentlemen, submitted to you what I had to say, nnd hero beg lenvp to eom mtt the matter to yon. knowing that, it is depos ited in the hands of those who have the power nnd intelligence to dispose of it properly: in which you have my hearty wishes for success. SHOW OF BLOODED STOCK. Following the address was a fine preliminary exhibition of racing anil other stock, in the vast arena lately vacated by Mr. Cooper’s attentive audience. V* T e say preliminary, because the exhibition was informal, and not intended a« a part of the inspection or premium awaiding exercises. Tiiere were some fifty or sixty spirit ed, well groomed mares, geldings, stallions, and a few fine looking mules, all eliciting.mnch admiration by their sleek coats and beautiful action. ’ • Not to disparage any of the many, yet in jus tice to the few, wo deem a passing notice due to the exhibition made by Mr. Dorsey, of Louis ville, Ky., who had present a fine pair of “gold- dnst mares,” a gelding, a stallion and two splen did saddle horses. Onr attention was particn larly called to the spirit as well ns showy action of a largo coal black stallion belonging to Mr. Wators, and a grey stallion, tho property of Dr. Drew Massee, of Marsballvillo, Ga. This latter animal displayed a careful training, as well as uncommon intelligence in the numer ous antics he performed, equaled only by a circus horse. "We shall enter more into detail when tho stock has been adjudged and premi ums awarded. Immediately «pon the withdrawal of the stock an impromptu scrub race was gotten np for the special benefit of the mounted marshals and others present. Some fine running quali ties of the several studs was shown, conspicu ous among which wo noticed a clean-limbed five year old mare of tho famous “ Whirlwind ’ breed, owned by G. W. Mayo, of Albany, Ga. ridden by a young gentleman whoso easo and gra«y of seat called forth many flattering re marks. Wo understand both rider and horse will enter for the Tournament, for whom we predict success in its fullest sense. 7TIE DAY’S FINALE AT THE GROUNDS. Unfortunately for those desiring fo remain longer, the clouds at 4 o’clock givo token of an approaching stoim, whose quickly falling drops, whirled aloDg by tho freshing breeze, soon caused the tido-of locomotion to turn cityward. Change in the Cabinet.—A Washington dis patch to the New York Tribune says: “ It is au thoritatively stated that a change will occur in tho Cabinet in a short time, the Attorney Gen eral having decided to accept the vacant seat in the Supreme Conrt, and he is now said to be en gaged in arranging the affairs of his office pre paratory to (he change. Hoopkanschaaf says the track of coolio em igration to the South will be across the Indian Ocenn, through tho Suez Canal, and across the Atlantic to New Orleans. GEORGIA Vr’ATE FAIR. . r«*r.r rW*&> -dat. n su The day dawned yesterday morning under n clear sky, but with a high and cold-wind blowing from tbs Northwest, which waa very unpleasant to visitors on the Grounds, and particularly so to the speaker* and the large number of ladies seated in the hippo drome. But notwithstanding the unpleasant weath er, crowda of visiters began Jo pour in upon th* Ground* by 8 o'clock, and from that time until two o’cluck in the afternoon, they continued to arrive by every accessible mode of conveyance. We heard the crowd at 8 o'clock estimated at between fifteen and twenty thousand. Wd think there were at least fiftte-i thousand.' The proceeding* of the day were opened about 13 o'clock, by the presentation to Hon. Ben. C. Yancey of the inrited gueit* of the Society by A. O. Bioon, Esq , who said: * Hr. Pmldtrt .* As a member of the Eeception Committee, it affoidsmepleasure to present to yon. and throngh you to the Georgia Agricultural Society, tho gentlemen from other States who have_visited U3 upon this cccn-ion in response to our invitattun. Thev have como from all tlio leading States, from South Carolina to Wisconsin. Some of them occupy high official positions, while most, if-not all. the re mainder aie gentli men prominently identified with important indnsbial enterpiises. They aro our guests, and as such I present them to yon, that you may express to them, ofiiciaUy, those feelings of cordial welcome entertained for them by tho mem bers of tve Society. • Mr. Yancey then addressed tho visiting gentlemen in a speech warm, eloquent and cordial iu its wel come. We regret that our notes would only enable us to give an outline of this admirable speech, and an abstract always does injustice to that which is elo quently said. Ho was greeted with frequent applanso by his audience, the enthusiasm of which was special ly aroused when, in alluding to the rich resource* of the State, he bade them look upon the women of Georgia, her fairest jewels. Mr. Yancey was responded to on the part of the invited guests by Judge Woodward, of Pennsylvania, and Gen. Horace Capron, Commissioner of tho Ag ricultural Bureau, Washington, D. C., m the follow ing word*: RESPONSE OF HON. O. W. WOODWARD, OF PENNSYL VANIA. ifr. President, anti Gentlemen of the Georgia Ha tel . Agricultural Society : Several citizens of Middle and Northern States have come, upon the invitation of your Society, to witnees the renewed energies of Georgia as man ifested In this very successful Fair, and to inter change friendly salutations with cur fellow-citizens of the South. We were met by a committee of your body, and to their provident' politeness we arc in debted. under the providence of God, for a safe and most agreeable journey. At Atlanta ire wet © kindly received by Governor "Bullock and entertained at breakfast,"and we came on to this beautiful city with no accident or detention, and here we have been entertained with a truly Southern liospit-lity, tho fame of which is world-wide. For all these at tentions, as well as for your cordial reception on behalf of the Society over which you preside, my fellow-travelers have imposed upon me, since we camo upon this platfdtm. the duty of expressing their heartfelt acknowledgements. In their name and for myself I return you onr thanks. Wo have met as friends—as friends of agricnlm-e, as citizens of a common country—who acknowledge a common flag *nd a common constitution, and who are bound to a .''"union destiny. We have bt en gratified with the evidence of prosperity that lias met ua on every band. If vour fostration by the war was as com- plete’as I supposed, roll nmst be the most energetic and »ecuperative people of whom I have ever read. How much better it is that citizens of the differ ent secliouc should meet on such a peaceful field a* this than on the battle field. War tramples the green earth and stains itiwfth Mood. Agncffituro makes it biing forth bread for t.ho eater, and fruits and flowers that delight th* starts. The voice of war is carthago delenlla est. The pi‘.'.‘' ct ture is, ‘ tliv kingdom come, givo us this , ? (’ ,fr daily bread.” * Sir, I have no sympathy with the man who would drench our native land in blood, in preference to tho cuhivationof thesepeaceful arts and industries. We Northern men differ from each other in many sentiments and opinions; in many things wo differ from von. and among yourselves are divemties of thought and action. But to-day we merge all differ ences ; wo forget all disagreeable memories; we leave tho dead past to bury the dead; and we unite as brethren of a common country to promote the groat intiTestB of agriculture, on which tho prosr-er- ity of all States and nations are built. Let us love as brethren. Let the sections exchange their pro ductions. Let them marry and give in marriage. Let the South welcome Northern capital and indus try. and the near future shall repair the ravages of war; a new prosperity shall return South, and then, if not before, yon men and women of the South can apply the words that burst .fronrtlio lips of Byron, as from Alpine heights ho iooked down upon Italian plains— Oh. it is a goodly sight to see What Heav’n hath done for this delicious land, What fiuits of fragrcui'-o blush on every tre«f, What goodly prospects o’er her hills expand. ^Renewing our thanks for your cordial reception, whice wo as cordially reciprocate, I proceed to intro duce to you, individually, the members of our dele gation. nZBPONSE OF HON. HORACE CATRON. Ifr. President and Gentlemen of the Agricultural Society of Georgia : Not to occupy time to the exclusion of other gen tlemen who may be expected to address you, I have preferred to reduce to writing, in as condensed a form as possible, tiie few practical remarks I pro pose to offer on this occasion, ai d with your per mission I will proceed to read them: Jt is with pleasure that I have responded to your kind invitation, which I have accepted in the spirit in which it was tendered—a spirit of mutual con cession. sympathy and encouragement. This pleas ure is enhanced by a knowledge of the great re sources of your State—a soil rich in all the elements of fertility and suited in its variety to the entire circle of the productions of tho farm, orchard and garden; phosphates and marls, in many localities', to repair tho waste of continued cropping, and min erals u-oful in the arts; water power enough to manufacture all the cotton grown iu tho State, nnd the implements of agriculture awl of other ir. !us- Irics; and a climate in winch the cereals and Irnits of temperate zones may flourish side by side with semitropical forms of v< getation, and in which man mav exercise in highest health and vigor, all his meiita) and physical powete. in subduing nature, enlarging productions, increasing wealth, and cn- having human happiness. With such resources at your command, with act ive invention to plan, ami an iudomitable will to work, who can set a limit to thp career of activity and enterprise upon which yon iiave entered ? 1 have come among you with some knowledge of heso natural a lv.ni'a :<■*, and wi h a full appreciation of the laudable ambition that impels you, to speak a word o‘ enconregement—to present the allurements of new hopes and now aims, and ask that, extirpa ting ancient prejudice, foigetting tho things which are behind, you press forward to those which are liefore—aiming to advance the united interest, and biigljten the consolidated gloiy of a great and grow ing nation. The change in your labor system involves a radi cal change in the manner and appliances of euiti- varion : a necessity which many of you fully re&lizo and thoroughly understand. Free labor, to bo most efficient, must ba educated labor—in a certain de gree, skilled labor; it must bo supported and sup plemented by improved machinery, so that every dollar expended in tho exercise of human muscles mav become tiro by the magical augmentation of rural mechanism, ‘it is thus that onr lands must ba •cultivated, and crops grown, in pait by brawn, in part by brains. ■ This change in labor also involves the necessity for smallrr farms, better culture, tho uea of ma nures, rotations in crops, and a larger working cap ital in proportion to permanent investment. Broad acres of impoverished soil, without abun dant means for needod fertilizers and fixtures, ma chinery and farm animals, are not only non-pro ductive, hut absolute sources of cost and discour agement—a mid-stone upon the neck of enterprise. Without a working capital, at least equal to that invested in lard, recuperation must be tedious, and tho profits of fanning small; with its aid inutiliz- ingtbo labor at command, that which is more effi cient and intelligent will naturally flow in. The result will bo a rapid development, a higher condition of fertility, larger crops, valuable and cieditable improvements, good neighborhood roads, larger profits, wealth, eftmfort and contentment. As a natural sequence to this system of industry, variety in production will take the place of an in- ceasing culture of cotton and corn. Tho broad capa bilities of soil and climate will have free scopo and exercise, and while tho product of cotton will be gi eater than now.dherc will bo com enough for man and beast, an abundance of beef, pork and mutton, the finest of vegetables and rarest of fruits, not alone for homo consumption, but for tho supply of less favored regions. Sugar, in favoring soils, may take the place of cotton as an export crop ; sorghum may yield its sweets for local u*o of dwel lers among the hiUs; a multitude of now and prn; fitable crops may awtll by millions tho grand ag gregate of tho cash teeeipte of agricultural labor, ltamio, introduced in 1855 into tho Botanic Garden at Washington, and propagated foryeara in tho ex-, perimental gtrden of the Department of Agricul ture, promises to v:e vith cotton in profit and use fulness if tho manufarturera succeed iu improving and cheapening its fabrication, and thus create a great and permanent market for tho new fibre, which can be produced in unlimited qnantities at reasonable rates. ' ! You have also an irimeasurablo source of wealth in the cultivation of fiuits; even that most valnable of. all domestic fruits! tho apple, can be produced hero in tho highest perfection. It is true that fail ures have resulted from introducing varieties. of Northern origin, but Vour pomologists have collect ed native varieties fitiiv equal in flavor and keeping qualities to the best' of those from any other sec- t.on. 1 Merely mentioning tho pear and. tho peach, the latter especially refeliug in your bright and length ened summ-ie, alifw me to ilirert your attention to tho fig and the grape- Tho former of the«o proba bly requires less skill in propagation and care in cul ture or in drying or other preparation for market than any other fruit of value.. Tho grape, mure ca pricious as to c'.imaie and locality, can here en jay Its faTOred region; on yonr'hill sides.' the best table and wine grapes of the* Northern States,will attain perfection, and it is prophesied that only on the ele vated lands and mountain sliipes of the Southern S'ates will the region be fonnd that is to yfold wines eqnal to a Johannisburger. a Tokay, or a Margeaux, while in your lower landByouhave tliofamoitn Scii]>- pernoi.g, that even now is highly esteemed, both here anil in foreign countries. Vast development* await you in tlrs direction, and when you reflect that even on your wora-iratland—unfit for corn or cotton—'nuts and vines may lie produced in the greatest abundance and perfection, tho propriety of giving attention to these crops will become apparent Nor will this mea*uie of diversity suffice. Manu factures must occupy the sites of waterpower*; and the surplus forest products be used in propelling machinery by steam, thus beautifying your State and enriehingyonr peoplo not only by theirproduefs and profits of this industry, hut by tho stimulus it will afford to agriculture in tho consumption of its prodnets and the enhancement of their talma. I hope to foe the day when, with the help of mann- fs'-turersin other States of this country, wemiylic ablo to manufacture every pound of cotton that we can produce Yon mav in self defence be compelled to do it. as Groat Britain, is. already preparing to col onize India with tho skil'cd laborers of Lancashire, as teachers and directors of tho teeming mllioris whoso services may be had for * remuneration scarcely appreciable. Ship abroad among this nations of the earth, at litUe cost fur froigii tande commissions, all yon* cotton in dims and fabrics, bearing the added value of much cunning lalior. ready for tho maikets of the world, rather than depend upon tho wants ortho caprice of other nations for the sale of the raw material Tho small begia nmg of five and a half millions of pounds of cotton manufactured in this country in 1791. increasing to fifty millions in 1821, has augmented to four l.un died and fifty millions in 1868—ono million Ija'es of 450 pounds each—a consumption greater than that attained in 1860. It will continue to increase, and with its ewolling volume change the whole current of trade, advancing our national wealth and pros perity. Wn roust not ignore the effort* of the British Cot ton Commission to at twin independence of foreign markets through their Indian empire. It ia true tiiat the fibre known as “surats” sells at lower rates than onr uplands, but it should be remembered that it is owing more to careless handing than to any defect in the staplo itself, and that strenuous and systematic efforts arc producing a cleaner and bet ter fibre. If the ‘•Dhers.’’ with tlif-ir clnmsy ma cliiuery. have prodncsl from this cotton—with care ful manipulation of the fibre from the beginning— the finest thread known, measuring 150 miles to the pound, and lunnii g to No. 200 in fineness, may not tho teaching anil practice of skilled English labor ers in India >ct incite a sharper competition than we have heretofore enconmered? Portions of India possess some of the most productive boBs of t tie world, peculiarly adapted • to the growth of cot ton Their success is shown in tho following state ment: The annual consumption for the wi ole of Europ'e it present is about 3,800,000 bale*, (it has been greater.! of which America send* 1,500,000 hales India senda about... • 1,400.000 hale* Egypt send* about 250 000 bale*' Brazil sends about hales Other countries *end about S-U'iV? 0 hales Approximately. 4,0000.000 bales, births among the free were 334 per cent, less than among the slave; and that tho net in crease of slaves was 130.93 percent, greater than that of the free blacks. These statistics may bo valnable as enabling us to approximate what will bo, or wbat should be. tho number of negro laborers in the Smith duiing any year np to 1890. and to ascertain what effect freedom has had on tho mortality and the ratio of in crease among the blacks. Turning, now. from the laborer to hiS work, wo have to consider what, system of cnltnre is the most productive—and here I have no hesi tation is saying that tho system which calls to its aid all tho appliances of skill and science, will always, other things being eqnal. prove tho most successful. I do not propose to enter in to the details of cotton planting, nor to givo tho best plan for its C?Uiv#tion, because the. same rules will not apply to all localities, nnd because time will not permit ute to do more than tonch on tho grand fnndatuental principles which should govern all intelligent planters. The problem for onr solution is how we can obtain tbo maximum production at the minimnm cost. We cheapen labor by increasing its productiveness, for while we may in doing the latter have to pay higher wages, wo receive for the work doue larger profits. Our object should be not to enlarge the arga of cultivation, bnt to mako every acre cnltivat d yield to its highest enpaeity The labor with which wo cultivate one acre producing from COO to 1000 pounds of seed cotton, costs as mneh-ns that which would make that anroe acre bring 3000 pounds. Is it economy to use labor, which is now money, so that it will only mako from ten acres wbat it can as easily mako from five ? If onr laborers cnltivate ten acres to tho hand, is it not best to plant only half that, quantity in cotton, working *s reported by the Indian Comm'esionor. Yet I do not believo wo aro to lose tho first rank as & cotton producing nation. Our opportunity lies in a better and more perfect cnltiva'ion of the soil, its thor ough aeration., draining in heavy lands and liberal manuring; a more complete adaptation of the im plements of its cu'turo to their pecnlir work, the in vention of labor-saving expedients and processes, and the reduction to a minimnm of the costly us - of human muscle; a regular rotation svstem of cropping, by which thensoil may bo constantly im proving rather than continually'•‘wearing out." and finally a proper manipulation of the fibre for mar ket, by which uniformity of length, freedom from foreign admixture and perfect clean’inpes may he secured. These are tho points in which India cot ton is deficient', and in which ours must continue to excel. To secure a longer, finer and evener staplo is entirely practicable. It, however, can only be ac complished bv observing the great laws of repro duction on which all improvement in animal and vegetable species is founded. The key to this pro gress exists in a single word—“pedigree.” Select a plant producing abundantly a superior fibre; plant its seed in a genial and well cultivated soil, select again ahd again from its progeny tho finest and the best-, discarding all else, and few yeats will elapse ere mat ked results will prove tho great utility and exceeding profit of the effort In this connection I present tho suggestion of an experimental farm, 4fetabH*bed by your State Goverement, and con ducted by an experienced and intelligent planter, where new varieties of cotton mav be produced and foreign varieties tested. I would also commend to each individual planter (be necessity of a constant regard to this principle of selection, in the planting of every crop lie may attempt to cultivate. I desire also to call your attention to tho impor tance of a system of co-operation among planters for the destruction of the cotton caterpillar when it first makes its appearance, either as a caterpillar, or in its perfect utate. While their numbers are few. any expense necessary for their extirpation would be a profitable outlay; when they swarm by millions in every field, their presence is dish arfen- iDg and their ‘destruction impossible. Let these considerations bo regarded, witli intelligent labor, and a personal supervision by tho ob-erv.nt planter, and yon may defy the competition of the world, pro duce a fibre unsurpassed.- and realize a profit apple for any want, and to.satisfy every requirement of luxury. In such views of progress I personally feel a deep and untiring interest. To assist in forwarding them yon may command my constant endeavors as Com- missionerof Agriculture.and co-operation and aid,so far as tho limited means at command may permit. The magnitude of tho interests involved, and the effective manner in which tho Department may ad vance them, lead me to believe that larger appro priations by Congress will hereafter permit wider and deeper usefulness, and that wkil- hundreds of million* aro given to railroads, a mere moiety at least, may bo accorded to advanco the progress of agriculture. This Department now consists of di visions of statistics, agricidtural chemistry, botany —to which attached is an herlarium—natural history and practical horticulture. Tho first is the office of publication, from which aro issued tho anunal of nearly a quarter of a million of volumes, and a monthly report of twenty-five thousand copies, em bodying, official data from thousands of correspon dents and nearly every county in the Union. In connection"with a museum of natural history, as allied to agriculture ia an oconomic collection ex hibiting the processes of manufacture of tho raw products of agricultural industry, in which the tex tile art*,' the making of sugars and dyss, and the utiiizati >n and extension or tho primitive products of tho earth are illustrated aud described. The experimental garden—to which has lately been added an arboretum—is a theatre of active and intelligent effort, including tho test and propagation of exotic fruits for your own favored section, and the introduction or new and promising plants suited to every climate. The chemical section of tho Department is occu pied with the^xaminations of tho natural sources of agricultural wealth, in mineral deposits: Tho knowledge of the composition and food of plants is being increased by scientific investigation. A series of analyses of cereal grains is contemplated for the purpose of determining the amonnt of influence which the latitude, soil and climate of different lo calities exert upon the growth of our food plants. A collection of specimens representing our agricul tural and economic geology and mineralogy will af ford a valuable display of tho rock strata of the whole country, and serve to complete the efficiency or this division. The Library of the Department, though not ex tensive. is receiving large additions by purchase and exchan ga with numerous scientific and agricul tural societies in Europe, Asia, Africa, aud even the Islands of the Pacific. A system of exchange of seeds and plants is in opera’ticn embracing societies, industrial colleges, and botanical gardens, throughout tho world. An extensive correspondence 3* conducted, embracing the entire country and the wholo range of practical agricnltnre. All these parts of our organization are working harmoniously, and I hope in some de gree effectively; and all aro laboring for the ad vancement. by equal steps, of every section and every rural interest in onr broad land. And in the coming general prosperity and uniTtjnal progress. I hope and pray,your favored State may have its full and generous share. At tho conclusion of the reception addreascs, Hon. Ben. C. Yancey then introduced Gen. \Y»de Hamp ton, of 8outh Carolina, orator of th® day, whose re marks aro given in full, and which will bo read by- every ono with peculiar interest and pleasure. At ita close, a resolution was offered and unani mously carried, requesting of Gen. Hampton a copy of his oration for publication. Hon. Ben. Yancsy then read the names of anpm- ber of gentlemen who had been appointed as chair men of various committees for tho award of premi ums, and requested that they would select the mem bers of their committees ‘ from among those who had no articles on exhibition, and gentlemen of in telligence and purity, so that no undue partiality might bo made in the award of premiums. • E'tHG-'A.TELFA 1 n.
