Raise Provisions and Thrive—
liaise only Cotton and Starve!
It is high time for every farmer and
planter in (he Cotton States, to pause
and reflect seriously on the past, the
present and the future. A large por
tion of the people of Georgia, arc now
fed on Northern bread and meat, and
are clothed with Northern fabrics. \V e
are essentially an agricultural people.
When nti agricultural people have to
Luy their victuals and clothes, they
are fast going to ruin. Already there
are thousands starving in our" midst—
we are literally begging for provisions
to save their lives, and if we continue
to depend on cotton, times will get
worse instead of better. The Cotton
crop does net appear to do any good.
It does not feed or clothe the pror. —
It does not go to pay honest debts.—
It all goes to the North to buy provi
sions and gew £awsnnct furbelows, that
u few empty headed men may sport
fast horses and fine carriages through
our streets, and a few vain and foolish
women may parade their finery', and
be called fashionable ladies. It is a
burning shame, for any Southern wo
man now to try to ape the Northern
fashions. It shows a want of heart
and soul, for her to talk of fashions,
and waste hundreds and thousands of
dollars in frivolity, when there are
hundreds around her suffering for
bread. In many cases also whilst she
is flaunting through the streets, her
father or husband, owes for the house
lie lives in, and for the very fine clothes
she wears. If our farmers and plant
ers would turn their chief attention to
raising provisions, these things would
not exist. The provisions would feed
our own people, and save in the coun
try millions of dollars which are now
sent to the North to buy food, whilst
all the proceeds of the cotton crop by'
spring has vanished “ like the morn
ing cloud and the early dew.” If
there are men in the country that havu
money to invest, let them invest it in
cotton factories and not in merchan
dise. Cotton factories is a Safe and
sure investment, if well managed ; and
whilst Radical legislation, taxes cot
ton, it favors manufactures, ami they
can’t legislate in favor of manufactures
at home, without favoring Manufac
tures at the South. If we cannot
change their legislation, we can and
must change our business so as to take
advantage of their legislation. Thank
God our climate does not depend upon
the Radicals, and our God-protected
climate enables us to vary our pur
suits, so Hint we can take advantage
of Radical legislation. —Milledncvillc
Federal Union. .
Not a Had Flan. —The South Ca
rolinian is for starving the North into
just and honorable terms, and thinks
the ladies of the South can do the
-work. It says :
What Woman Can Do. —ls she
will serve hrr country by a sacrifice of
expensive clothing ; if she will show
her loveliness in homespun ;
fashion her slave instead of being a
slave to fashion ; give employment to
our own people as was done during
the war; keep the spinning wheel
buzzing and cotton cards at work in
humble homes; buy home manufac
tures in preference to those -procured
from abroad ; content herself with be
ing neat and not gaudy ; drop all such
gimcracks as artificial watei fails, the
taseelled thingamies which go ground
the hole end of stockings, and what
Wood Davidson calls “ the veritable
overshot-high-'pressurc--perper.dieula’r-
vibrating-duplex and eaUdiptie-kiicc
plus-ultra-tiltareens if she will make
up her mind to go only half way to
the war standard ; induce her hudbnnd
to plant corn and -fill his.mcat house—
in short, if she will by every and all
means contribute to stop the supplies
that now fill Northern*coffers with the
best part of their stock in*trado, the
South co n produce a financial convul
sion, out of which pence wii] come.
Since the surrender of I,ce’s army,
probably, two bundled millions of dol
lars have been sent to the North by
the South,- and three-fourths of that
amount has gone into the hands of our
enemies. We have whetted the knife
that is at our throats, and the timo has
come when we should stop severely.

the South of France, lie is still a
sprightly, vigorous, clear-headed old
man, still retaining much of that fire
which used to wake his antagonists in
the House of Commons more than 50
years ago. 7?ut, admonished that his
time of puhiic service is passed, he
has just taken his leave of the literary
and forensic world, in a letter address
ed to a member of the French Insti
tute, conveying to him a copy of his
address at the last English social Con
gress. The parting advice to the world
from the veteran statesman and schol
ar is, to live in peace—to beware of
royal murderers—‘lilro Napoleon the
First;’ meanwhile, he accords high
praise to the present ruler of France
for his pacific and enlightened policy.
He insists that wars are wicked and
fruitless, and always retards vilization.
And so the great Henry Brougham,
who has been almost constantly in
men's mouths for considerably more
than half a century, passes from the
stage. Few men have left more nu
merous or more substantial memorials
of iamc. When wc -look back upon
that long career, so full and so varied,
vre cannot but marvel at the extraor
dinary genius of the man—excelling,
as he did, in legal lore, in oratory, in
science, in political philosophy, in
moral theses, and in various depart
ments of physical knowledge. 11c has
now gone, of his own accord, into his>

task in sketching his past life.

MEETING IN THOMASVILLE.
Under the influence of Ex-Gov. j
Brown’s letter to the people of Geor
gia, which we will publish hereafter, a j
meeting was gotton up in Thomasville J
last night, speeches made by several j
gentlemen and resolutions drafted, rc- j
viewing the situation, and petitioning !
Gov. Jenkins to call a State Convention !
for the adoption of measures in accord
ance with the views of Gov. Brown. The i
action of the meeting finally termina- l
ted in the call of a County Convention
to-rinyrow, for the purpose of giving
force and character to the movement,
and embodying the views of those who
are taking the lead. We were npt
present at the meeting and only write,
what we received from others, but it
will not be amiss to state, that the
I movement was advised by Col. Sesvard,
who, we understand agrees with Gov.
Brown, and addressed the meeting last
night, ably and eloquently reviewing
the history of the country, and coun
seling immediate action on tli« part of
the people of the South, in order to
save themselves from that worse fate
alluded'to by Gov. Brown, the final
; “ confiscation of' all our property to
! pay the public debt.” We have no
! room for comment either upon the let
ter or the meeting, in ourpreseut issue.
WIIAT SHALL WE DOj>
We publish entire the bill passed
by the Radical Congress for the com
plete subjugation and humiliation of
the South. It is a measure which had
its origin in the Jean of the Radicals,
that the South migjjt yet arise from
the dust and ashes of the late w r ar, and j
present herself a formidable opponent
in the halls of Congress. To place it j
entirely and forever beyond her power, j
to thus confront them again in their j
.violation and ruin of American Lib- |
orty, they hnvo reeolve-l upon tl-e tulnl
destruction of her political influence
in the government of the country. The ;
bill referred to is well calculated to [
perform the work, provided the South- 1
ern peoj/h allow themselves to fall into |
despair, and giving up all industrial 1
pursuits become demoralized ; b'ut if
true to themselves, the Southern peo-
pica ill not long suffer by such ini
qnitious, wiM-Amoricnu mOßUtcs. The
blow is intended to crush Southern
society, for iu that.alone ,lo the Radi
cals recognize our" invulnerability.—
lJteak up and demoralize Southern
society, aud, our political power is ef
fectually ended. But this cannot be
done if OtlY people will bold out Lrrith
fullr, and pSticntly suffer whtfro they
eanuot remedy, until the tide of fanati
cism and tyranny turns back. Tyrants
are always in desperate'straits, and in
consequence, pGss«de»pqr*tc measures.
They strike, blindly and desperately to
annihilate, but tire tlvemgclvca anifihi
lated. The Radical pynver must of
necessity exhaust-itself in a brief pe
riod, and then, under the crushing
weight of the return oT the American
people to common sense and common
justice, both the Radical faction in
L'ongress, ami the negro power they
set up in the Bouth by this bill, will
pass away as disturb nig elements in
American polities. At present, how
ever,'the Radicals are triumphant and
SambO reigns supreme where once he
was a slave. What then arc we, his
former masters to do'! 1 If wo have
Court# and Juries Sambo must ho our
Judges and Jurors, or if not Saiplio,-
tlien his Radical elevators, who do not
seem.to oqnal lifoi in justice and hu
manity. The justice a degraded ft.hcl
might expect in such Courts would be
extremely doubtful, and hero we'hnvc
advised the Southern people to settle
their differences among thenmelvcs,
without appeal to tho Courts. Ust them
consider jho matter. . .
But we have other means of avoid
ing conflict with tho Radicals and
their agents, whether white or black.
They have already devoted so much of
their time, blood and "money to the
adjustment of our difficulties, that we
ought to excuse them for the future and
for tho lyvo of -our departed heroes,
and the good of our posterity, try and
manage our own affairs without calling
in their aid. To this end lot us trou
ble them-up more with our Cotton,
tobacco and rice. Wo ought, iu gra
titude for their long service, spare them
the trouble of shipping our produce to
Europe and the North, and in as much
as they condescend to allow us to cul
tivate the sod of our fathers, and gra
ciously promise t» protect us in
right of our property, guaranteed by
the Constitution, we ought to release
them from all further obligation to
carry oft' the proceeds of our lab-nt and
ourselves take immediate steps to be
come oer own guardians—open trade
direct with Europe, and make all our
purchases of those Uouthuu houses
I who have invested their capital in di
[ rect European trade. Europe can
come' to the South to buy Cotton, as
easily as she can Jo to the North, and
. she will do it, if we invite her. If the
! North wants cotton sell it to her, of
course, but let her pay in gold on the
same footing with Europe, and let the
money be invested in Southern manu
factories. Build up these and we shall
! then outstrip the North, and compel
all the world to come to the South, not
' for Cotton, but for Cotton goods. —
These manufactories wilt bring Ma
chinists, Artizans —population—and
population political power, and politi
; cal power fear and respect at home and
abroad. Tbcsc are the elements which
| conquered the South in (lie late war.
! The North possessed all the manufao*
| tories of the country —they brought
wealth and population—she built and
j kept all the shipping, she sold us all
our goods and provisions—and what
| did the South do? She made Cotton.
\ Alas 1 atid Cotton (though famed a
king) was her ruin. And it-will he
her efil genius forever, unless the
Southern people make their own pro
visions, and manufacture their Cotton
in the South. Our people have made
Cotton for many years, and what is
their expericncc--have they any capi
tal, or have they added to the wealth
of the South 'I Have not the merchants
carried the mo’ncy for all their cotton
lack to the North '! It has been truth
fully said, “ all we get by making
Cotton is our victuals and clothes.”
Tell us, friends, is it not true ? Then,
why not make your own provisions '!
temperance speech.
! ftev. J.W. Mills, P. E. of this
! District, delivered a temperance speech
at the Court house on Wednesday
; night last, to a large and attentive
! audience of our citizens, and his suc
cess may be judged by the result. A
Society was immediately organized for
Thomasville, officers ducted and many
persons obtained as members. This
t is a good work, and we sincerely hope
lit will prosper. Bro. Mills must par
don us for the omission to announce
! his lecture in the Enterprise, and at
tribute it to forgetfulness alone. The
Secretary must, also pardon u.s for not
publishing the proceeding of the or
ganization this week. We bad more
matter on hand than could be managed
for the. present issue and -they were
compelled to lieoycr for next Tuesday.

Tho Agricultural Situation.
X season is past and another crop of
.eottcni .lias been added to the records,
but as far as its visible effects can be
seen on" tho wealth —of "t'#r Southern
country, it had as well not been made.
A million bales has bean counted,
worth At least a hundred millions of
dollars. Rut it has gone —gone.glim-
mering to help other people, and en
rich otlrefjppckifs:-. There is nothing
left of it. Xo more money is in the
-South than before it was gathered.—
Sonio.iiiay ask, where is it ?, Wo point
them so, the huge heaps *>f freight and
.produce daily lan fowl, at the wharf,and
.which,, the moment it touches the
shore, is wheeled a fray to tiifc railroads
and coast stetmiers to feed the farming
people.
There is the answer to Where has
the cotton gone? ’ Y.crtly, wc. are
working omy for our victuals and
clothes, and unless a different policy
is adopted by our. country people, and
tho arriculfurai situation is changed
that is all we will ever get.
Is it not possible for us to learn
wisdom from past experience 'l lias
not fifty years experiment pointed
out the proper course to follow ? Look
at the thousands (4‘ millions worth of
the Southern product that Was paid for
in gold, and how much of it remained
at the time of the unfortunate separa
tion of the States. m Not even enough
could bo found to satisfy the desires
of the people’s Butler. Is tlfisalways
to be the ease, or is there a time com
ing when the clink of something pure
—some surplus will be left to delight
us with its glitter and charm the oar
w'dh the now ijmost forgotten sound ?
The suggestions presented in the.
above extract from the Now Orleans
Picayune, relating to the present agri
cultural sitaatiou of the Sotith, com-.
In end themselves to the con
sideration of every planter. They
demonstrate beyond question ihat if
we would improve on the present, we
must make our breafl and moat first,
-and then give the rest of onr time to
cotton. In that way only car- any
advance be made tram our present de
plorable condition. If the entire
ri'outh could Le induced to-adopt a
self sustaining policy by milking their
own food and raiment, and devote the
balance of their time to the cult ure rs
the staple, no people, on earth would
be as rich and independent as wo
would soon be. As the Picayune says,
no people can be self-supporting halt
so easily as the people of the South.—
Every thing that is needed can be
easily fertile hero. 9 *
Then, why not pursue the policy
which admonishes our planting people
to grow their own corn and make tl.clr
own bread and meat. Do’tlris first,
and give up (lie exploded idea that
“ cotton is king.” Would in not bo
belter economy, too, to ;ut in a gooj
breadth of rye lor feeding stoSk in the
spring, than to half starve them, or
buy so much Western corn and hay ?
Would not a smaller number of acres
planted in cotton, properly, thorough
ly 4'ertalized and cultivated, yield nibre
profit*than double the number nut ar
tificial fertilizsdamd thoroughly culti,
vafgd '/ We are confident it would,
with the additional advantage of re
qnirifig hut about one-half the amount
of labor. We think flicso views
are worthy of general adoption, and
wc would pu-s* them upon the favora
ble consideration of our country readers
especially. It would cost less to buy
l'erjilizCrs than to hire, a double force
of latn-f in order to product a given
quantity, to say nothing of the surplus
land upon which tax has to be paid,
and which might, be sold off to other
farmers. The - paramount and first
interest of every Soutjiern community
is that it should be st’lf-subsisting.—
There are no figures however specious
that can •prove it to be wise for an ag
ricultural people to derive their bread
stuffs or meat in any notable quantities
beyond their own limits. — Saeannah
