Opera House. The attendance was large,
embracing delegates from all parts of tne
Booth, indicating the active interest, which
prevails in regard to all movements, having
lor their, purpose the advancement of the
agricultural and industrial interests of the
country. The body is composed of Ihe
h ading representative minds of the South,
aggregating an assemblage of intellectual
grandeur, upon which if. is impossible to
look without the conviction that great- and
permanent good must follow the delibera
tions of a body embiacing all the elements
of talent and experience requisite to carry
out the grand objects of tire organization
Upon the platform were seated his Honor
Mayor Allen, Hon. John D Butt, Maj. T
F. Branch and Mr. F. J. Berckmans, and
Ex-Gov. Bonham, of South Carolina, Hon.
Horace Capron and Maj. J. R. Dodge, of the
United States Agricultural Department.
By the generous action of the proprietor
of the Opera House, Maj. 1. P. Girardey,
who kindly placed his elegant building at
the service of the Congress, a most admira
ble place of meeting was secured; and every
facility afforded for the pleasant association
of the delegates from different sections of
ihe country, who have been called together
in the pai-eworthy and earnest effort 10
promote the agricultural and industrial
interests of the South.
THE ORGANIZATION.
On motion of Hon. John D. Butt, Dr. Y\ T .
H. Tntt, President of the. Colton States
Mechanics’ and Agricultural Fair Associa
tion, was requested to take the Chair
On motion of Col M. C Fulton, of Ciaik
county, L. Carrington, of Milledgeville,
and L T Blome, of Augusta, were request
ed to act as Secretaries.
Dr. Tutt, taking Ihe Chair, thanked the
Congress for the compliment, conferred,
trusiing that amid the duties engrossing
his attention in connection with the Fair,
h ' would be pardoned for reference to man
uscript, and read the following appropriate
address, which was welcomed with ap
plause :
Gentmomkn: On the part of the Cotton
States Merhanies’ and Agricultural Fair
Association, and in the name of the citizens
of Augusta, I bid you welcome, your pres
ence is auspicious.
The meeting of this Congress is a most
important event. It, is the inauguration of
anew order of things in the South. Every
successive year will, I trust, witness the
meeting of body organized for one of the
noblest objects known to civilization. You
do not propose to discuss the politics of the
country; von are not assembled to ap
prove, nor denonnee the policy of the Go\
eminent We are not insensible to the
prosperity and glory of the country; nor
are we indifferent to the manner in whie-b
the Government is administered. But. we
represent a section of the country which,
has been desolated by war and impoverish
ed Ivy the loss of property. We wish to see
its prosperity ; its waste places rebuilt; Us;
fields yielding abundant, harvest; its cities:
increasing in population and becoming
marts of commerce, and its people adyanc-i
ingin all that constitutes the happiness,
the wealth and the glory of a country
Let ns exchange bur views freely and make
such suggestions as may stimulate thought,
awakt u inquiry and encourage the enter- 5
prise of the Botn,hern people.
The most important interest which re
quire our consideration is agriculture.
V\ r e must, encourage this. It is not sufli
eion'j that, our lands are fertile and our
skies are genial. We must, now introduce
system in out planting operations. Hereto
fore we were accustomed to undertake thy
cultivation of large plantations, trusting to
the yield Jn compensate us for om labor.
But, if you will allow me to say so, the in
terest of the Southern people now require
the application of science to whet what, we
have been aemstomed to regard as a very
simple process. Heretofore we seemed to
think it necessary only to sow arid reap.
How we must not only plant, but we must
plant judiciously. We own the land, hut
we must employ labor. It requires serious
thought to determine how we may best
apply that labor; otherwise we shall find
that after an outlay of money and the dili
gent exertion of our energies, we shall in
the end gain nothing. It is not my purpose
to enter into an elaborate examination of
this subject, but, 1 am sure that you will
pardon me for offering a few suggestions in
regard to it.
The great object, of this Congress is to
achieve independence for the Southern peo
ple; not independence by sundering the 1
relations which bind us to other parts of
the country, nor by setting np anew gov
erum nt to ourselves; not by refusing to
have intercourse with the people ot the
whole Union ; tint the adoption of such
wise measures as will enable us to live
within ourselves. • We ought to produce
more, and to buy let*. VVe ought to combine
finning with planting Instead of produc
ing enormous cr.pa of cotton, which glut,
the market of the world, bringing down
the price of a great staple that ought, to
rule the commercial world, wc should plant
less cultivate it to perfection, and hold it
for a fair value. We ought to plant corn
enough to supply our own demands, and
pro luce grain all over the South ; not run
ning in debt for our corn and bacon, we
shoald be able to hold our cotton crop in
dependency of the dh ta*fon of consumers
Without any hostility to the people of the
we ought to be able to live in ind<-
peiidcuce and ease within ourselves. We
fui'dil not to rely upon their capital. Surely
there is enough energy and ability in the
South, and our resources are ample enough
io make us self-reliant. Why should we
h, dependant, on the capitalists of the
North for our money ?
We ouHit to establish banks of our
nwu and employ our surplus capital in
nrodVing facilities for the transaction of
L r own business at borne. Is the South
to be drained of it* wealth ? Are wo to
inbor to enrich others ? Must we forever
L c hewers of wood and drawers of water
for Northern capitalists? Let us achieve

££ more inviting harbors, than hose on

wanted there, and we mav save a great

_ i tensive and circuitous route by tbe way
of Northern I'orta j 1 And why -should the
, -odnets of all other countries come to the
L ,gh first, and then find their way to ns.
Iv wc ought to arouse ourselves, to ap
onr energies, to co-operate with each
het in making this Southern land, which
we love so well, rich, prosperous and
bft lvc want more workshops In our midst ;
not only cotton factories, but great estab
ishnients, lor making the multiplied artl

that they will yield a handsome return for
the capital Invested in them. Then will
onr population increase; and then shall we
present the spectacle to the world o! a
people enjoying the highest and happiest
civilization.
We might raise our own stock much
more extensively than we do. We should
then not only keep our capital at home and
enrich oimelves; but we should have the
satisfaction of seeing an activity and thrift
upon our plantations, heretofore but rarely
displayed among ns.
There is oDe subject of very great impor
tance to which I wish to invite the atten
tion of this enlightened body. The rela
tions between the white and colored races
are somewhat anomalous. The colored
people ought to be encouraged to trust us
as their friends. For selfish purposes,
attempts are sometimes made to excite
jealousies between the races. It is an
ignoble |H>lk y; short sighted and full of
evil. The kindest relations should exist
between the two classes. We are destined
to live together, and everything ought to
lie done to promote a good understanding.
1 am disposed to take a hopeful view of the
future. The colored people are becoming
educated. They will think for themselves,
and they will learn to distrust the appeals
made by those mischievous and designing
men who have'eome among ns to try to
improve their own fortunes by selfish
schemes. Let us do onr duty, gentlemen,
and win the confl lence of i class of jveople
who are naturally well disposed, and who
may lie made to promote the true prosperity
of the South, while they are at the same
time advancing in civilization.
But, gentlemen, I must not trespass upon
your time I have thought it, proper
to bring to your attention these important
subjects. Let us labor to restore our be
loved section of the United States to its
former prosperity and happiness. By pro
moting a wise system of agriculture; by
building up great manufacturing establish
ments ; by increasing our banking facil
ities; by opening direct trade with foreign
countries; by a liberal patronage of vessels
carrying on this trade ; by making invest
ments at home of our surplus capital; by
encouraging confidence and good will
between the two races in our midst, we
shall raise the fortuues of the .South to a
higher point and to a wider development
than they ever attained before. Our young
men should aspire to the glorious service
of advancing the prosperity and happiness
of their country. Euergy, enterprise—the
steady pursuit of noble ends by noble
means, —these will at once elevate them
and contribute to the strength anrl glory of
the South. Let them be sober, earnest men
and set their standard high. Then may
the Sooth like the Roman mother, when
called on to show her jewels, point to her
sons and say, “ These are my jewels ! ”

Mr. Editor:
Drak Sir: 1 notice in your morning
issue that M. J. Davison, of Greene countv,
was awarded a premium on the Johnson
Tie, nt the State Fair, for best packed bale
of cotton.
I was awarded the premium by the only
properly appointed committee, unanimous
ly. And after my leaving Atlanta all the
competitors agreed to appeal from the de
cision, and procured the services of Mr. D
to act for all. Mr. D. further informs me
that; President Yancey simply requested
him and a friend, who kindly presumed to
act for me, (for which I am thankful) yet,
of course, without my knowledge or con
sent, to select a committee to decide upon
the appeal case, who awarded the premium
to Mr. D. because, forsooth, my bale was
not put up in strong commercial bagging.
The bale and bagging are out on the Cot
tou States’ Mechanics’ aud Agricultural
Fair Association Grounds in this city,'and
will show for themselves.
Judge Vason, of Albany, was Chairman
of the original committee.
1 object to the payment of the premium
to M. J. Davison.
Respectfully,
Thos. M. Callaway.
