Wc icknaariodgo tho receipt of the January
number of this excellent periodical. The propri
etors intended to improve it much, though we
thought it was already as highly improved as a pe
riodical of the kin-l could well be. The Cultivator
is a periodical of the Eclectic order. Though do
voted principally to agriculture, horticulture, &.C.,
it alwayc contains much reading matter of interest
to those who are not directly interested in such
subjects. It is published at Augusta, Ga., by D

Tin- Way to Jnilr|>i-ml(-nr<'.
Our people have, in one way, declared their in
dependence of the United States Government.
They have formally made a declaration of their
entire freedom from the control of any Govern
nr-nt or people on the face of the earth. But we
have s im -thing to do beside? pass Resolution*
and Ordinances. Tb“sr paper declarations are al.
well enough as evidence of the disposition of the
people of Georgia m: to submit to the despotism
nf a lawless inijority in Congress; but if we
would be i a.ly ind-.-pendent of those States which
have for twenty or thirty years endeavored to de.
prive u* of our rights and property under the U.
S. Government, we imijt provide the means ol
physical support, within our own borders. We
must, not oniy make the Corn, Wheat, Rye, Oats,
and other small grain crops, which the necessities
of our people require, but we must raise our own
ini-at. beef, mutton, peas, Ac., in fine, everything
that tuau or beast requires for sustenance. It i*
perfectly in our po-.vet to do this. We can make
the gr.-atest abundance of corn, and peas, which
will make the greatest abundance of meat. Will
not our farmers and planters do all they can to
secure the independence o! Georgia in this re
spect Corn-field peas are raised without an\
difficulty—sweet potatoes are a certain crop
Upon tnese the young hogs can be turned in Oc
tober an J fattened ;or killing in December. But
by ail means, let a plenty of coni bo planted
The great amount of rain which has fallen during
the present winter induces many good judge*
among our planting friends to fear that the next
Summer will be unprecedentedly dry. or quite a*
dry as the past Summer. If ibis be so, and the
coin crop is as short as it was the past year, no
one can form any reasonable conception of tin
amount of suffering which our people will have ti
bear. Wo must not look to the West or North-
West. Wo must depend upon ourselves Wt
nrj*t plant )cs3 cotton. What planter does no;
know that it is better to raise cr>,„ at #1^3 per
bushel, and pork at Iff cents, than to raise cottoi
at II e-ts .’ Many planters in this section have beet-
paying $1.25 for corn, and would have paid 1»
cents for pork, but could not even get it for that
and wi.! be compelled next Summer to pay Hot"
2 * cis for bacon. With the present prospect be
fore our eyes, it would be foolish, it would b,
criminal in our planters and farmers to neglect th
articles upon which our people must depend foi
even life itself. If they would be wise they would
plant as much again of corn, wheat, oats, pota
toes, Ac , as they planted the past year. If. then,
Heaven should bless our land with good seasons,
wc should be able to cope with any adversary, on
the battle fi--!d, or anywhere else, that duty might
r quire us to meet. We cannot be independent
until we cease to look to the West and North-
West, for our supplies of Bread and Bacon. Oh
that our people would be wise in time. God
grant they may be so.
A ilj mi cn incut o!' Iho t'onvenlion luRavnniinh,
One of the last acts of the State Convention
which closed its session in this City ou Tuesday
last, was the passage of a resolution to meet in
the city of Savannah, when the President should
re-assemble the Convention.
We will not charge upon the majority of the
Convention any improper motive, in this, to us.
very singuhr movement. But when it is con
sidered that every accommodation necessary to
personal convenience and comfort, and to the dis
patch of public business, was afforded here, how
ever misapplied, many will ascribe, as the real
motive, a desire fora frolic. We have no objec
ti m ourselves to the move—only that we fear it
will detract troin the dignity of the Convention,
aud impair ike sanctity and strength of the Ordi-
,i mce of secession. In dissolving our connection
with the government of the United Stat>-s, it is
bee Hiring in us to act in such a manner, that evc-
rcthing like levity shall bo removed, as far a*
possible, from our deliberations. It is a serious
business, and should so be considered by the
agents of the people.
We have beard no charges against this city, on
the score of meagre accommodations—no such
charges could be sustained, if made. The licnre-
s -nt^tlv-e Hall, after the Convention had cleared
the lloor and lobby of outsiders, was ample for all
business purposes and individual comfort. It is
to be regretted, then, that the Convention changed
its place ot meeting, because the removal must, to
some considerable extent, impair tbs sanctity and
lessen th- force of its grpat ordinance of secession
—an act of grave md dignified import.
Siirtpcii Gnirral.
If Georgia follows the model of the U S. Army,
iu organizing her Military, she will need a Surge-1
on General. Wa take the liberty of suggesting
the name of Dr. Sami tx G- \\ HITE, of Mil-
ledgeviile, as a gentlem-m every way fitted for
this responsible and truly honorable position.—
Dr. White is a young man, but little over thirty
years of age, but has not a superior as a Surgeon
in this State. He spent six mouths of the past
year in Europe, where he had special advantages
for petfectiug himself iu the noble science. His
exportness and success iu Surgery are proverbial
in this section of the State, and he ranks as a
physiei in with the best and oldest practitioners in
the profession. We would not disparage the
merits or Talents of any other medical gentleman
in the State, but we consider Dr. \\ bite so pecu
liarly qualified for the post, by learning, experi
ence and social disposition, that we could not re
frain Iroin making tin- suggestion of bis name in
the connection, in this pubiic way, not only in
justice to In* worth, but in justice to the State in
whose service be would be a great beneiactor.
Dr. Wh.te was among the most ardent secession
ists in this county, and was defeated as such for
the State Convention, solely because this county
was thoroughly controlled by the Co-operationists.
Kiud TV«i-«ik.
Kind w-ords from many of our brethren of the
Press, have welcomed our change of name: for
all which we sincerely thank them. Our brother
of the Savannah News is especially entitled to
oar thanks, and a piofound salaam thrown in for
good measure. The “ Aries" was never mote wel
come
“Huty wail faemiMwalt ArlUs.”
The people of the seceding States are fr.-qnently
charged, even by our friends at the North, with
hasty and inconsiderate action. Certainly they
must have forgotten the political history of the
country for the last twenty years or they would
not consider our present action either hasty or in
considerate. Have we not for more than twenty
years been complaining and remonstrating, with
the Abolitionists of the North, on account of their
repeated assaults upon our legal rights, and cher
ished institutions? Have we not repeati-diy
warned them that tbeir continued war upon
slavery would eventually break up the Union of
the State.*, and perhaps lead to a war between the
different sections ? How have these remoustrances
aud warnings been met by the people of the North?
By ridicule and sneers, by threats and defiance .'
We havo been told thousands of times, that we
dare not secede from the Union, that the Union
was stronger than slavery, and tiiat we would sur
render our institutions before we would give up the
Union. Tln-se taunts and sneers we have borne
for more than twenty years. How can our friends
'hen at the North say that our acliou lias been
nasty and inconsiderate. Whilst our friends at
the North were able to assist ns in defending th"
Constitution, we bad hopes of being able to pro
tect our rights within the Union. But when the
friends of the Constitution were overwhelmed in
every northern State, when Black Republican*
were triumphant, an-J the irrepressible conflict,
so long threatened, was about to commence, it
was certainly time, high time, for the people of
the Southern States to take care of themselves.—
>ur action certainly has not been hasty, since we
have been warning the North and the world what
it would be for more than twenty years. Whether
it is rash or not, time will determ ne. We have
counted the cost, we know it will be heavy, but it
will not be so heavy as abolition oppression, and
we will rather submit to any necessary depriva
tions, than live under the galling yoke of Black
Republican domination. We warned both frieuls
and foes, that the election of Lincoln would be
considered a declaration of war against the South
He was elected after that warning, and now the
South has no alternative but to secede froin a gov
ernment where her rights coaid not be protected,
and protect herself.
Paying dear for Ihrir whistle!
The Black Republicans after years of bard
fighting, havo at last got Kansas into the Union
with an anti-slavery Constitution. And noiv they
have got her she is a pauper State. Already they
have appropriated a large sum from the public
treasury to keep her people from starvation. They
have gained a public pauper which they have to
support by taxing their own people. On the other j
hand they have lost six rich and powerful States
with a prospect of losing eight or mile more. This
is getting Kansas at a very great expense, and we
have no doubt that many of thorn have already
found out that they have paid too dear for their

Intelligence from Springfield, Illinois, the home
of Abe Lincoln, lepresents the Black Republican
President as determined to enforce the laws of th"
United States Government at all hazards—which
ineaus, the collection nf the revenues, and the
protection of the Federal property in the seceding
States. Lincoln is reported as being opposed to
any concession or compromise. It is true these
are only reports of writers for newspapers, from
the home of Lincoln ; but it may be true, as sta
ted, that be will attempt to wrest the forts, arsen
als, Ac., from the State authorities which have
seize) the n. Lit the S mthern States, be prepar
ed for war. The best way to preserve peace, i* to
be fully prepared for war. If tba aggressors want
blood, and are determined to have it, let U3 be
ready to give them sucli a reception as becomes a
brave people fighting fjr their poli.ical liberty,
tb-ir homes, their altars, and their firesides. L -t
us not trust to the good sense, of fanatics. M -n of
reason and good judgement, will boot at the idea of
subjugating six or eight millions of people, fight
ing on their o-.vn soil, for their honor and their
lives. Reasonable men at the North ridicule the
idea, of a war ou the S ates of the South, to con
quor them, as preposterous. But mon ofgoii
sense will not bciu power at Washington after th -
4th of March. Lincoln may be foolish enough to
initiate a war that will make our streams red with
lilao.l of h is hireling soldiers: hence it is the part
of prudence, of wisdom, of safety, to be ready for
war. We are already forewarned by Abe Lincoln \
that ho intends to use force against the seceding ]
States ; let us be forearmed. It is a question and
a very serious one for Abe Lincoln to consid -r.
whether he will not need a body guard to protect :
him against some Brutus at Washington Wash
ington city is on Southern soil, and the day that
Li ncoln inaugurates a war with the seceeding j
States, that day may cl ise his earthly career. No ;
one can tell what will be the condition of things
in Washington during th; progress of such a war. j
Of one thing we are satisfied—the South can take ]
care of herself, when the hour of trial comes.—
Hundreds ot our people are "spoiling for a fight”
with the Black Ripablican forces, an 1 the first j
southern blood shed in such a conflict, will arouse j
every heart, and nerve every arm from the Potomac ]
to the Rio Grand 3. Old men in the South with j
the frosts of seventy winters on their heads, are
amongst the most eager for the fray. The young
men are in arms. We prefer peace, not that we :
tear the consequences, to o ir section, of war, but
because it is the interest of the world, of re- ;
ffgion, of civilization, and humanity throughout
Christendom, that peace should be preserved — i
Bnt, whatever the coarse of events may lie, let the
cotton States be thoroughly armed equipped, and
ready at a moment's warning to march to the music i
of Southern Rights, Southern equality, Southern
liberty.
Too nrar it.
Some men, actuated by their fears rather than by
their hopes or their conviction*, ar.- prone to prophesy ,
dire calamities to the planting and commercial in
terest* among ns, from the separation of Georgia from '
the late United States. The truth is, no man should be
guided by present surrounding circumstances in form
ing an opinion upon the probable good or evil likely to
occur from the resumption of sovereignty by the peo- j
pie of Georgia. We are too near the revolution to say
what its fruits shall be one year from to-day. If cot
ton should decline n few cent* our farmer* have ouly .
to keep it in'their gin houses to be perfectly secure.
England must have our cotton. It matters not wheth
er the port of Savannah is closed or not ; by the fir*t ,
of March, England is obliged to have our cotton, and
by that time the seceding States will have formed fa
new Confederacy, and England will have acknowl
edged it. Then our ports will open to British Vessels. |
aud our cotton will be bought tor gold by British 1
Agents. We are too near the day of our revolution to
decide upon its merits or demerits. Time alone can
develope the great benefit or evi! which is to result
therefrom. In the meantime let croaker* cease tln-ir
doleful lament*.
