gantlet pulling, a match dog fight, a chicken
dispute, (cock fight.) had preaching, and as if
that was not enough, the judge of the court,
after losing a year’s salary at single handed
poker, and whipping a person who said lie did
not understand the game, went out and helped
to lynch a man for hog stealing. A smart lit

TO THE GEORGIA TELEGRAPH.
T* tlio Plntitcrt nud Farmer* of Georgia.
At a recent meeting in this city of a largo
number of the Agriculturists of Bibb county,
convened for the purpose of forming on Agri-
cultural Society, tho undersigned were np-
pointed a Committee to address you with the
view of soliciting your co-operation in a unit
ed eflort, to remove as fur as practicable, the
evils in which the whole planting interest is in
volved. A crisis has arrived wnen the grow
ers of the great staple of the South can no lon
ger remain inactive—when they must either
abandon in part its'cultivation or be compelled
to submit to a very inadequate remuneration
for their industry. You need not be told that
cotton cannot bo grown, with any profit at the
prices which tho rrop of tho past year has
commanded, and which itium continue to pre
vail, so long as the supply so largely exceeds
the demand. Cotton perhaps more than any
other crop exhausts tho soil. By its culture
therefore, you suffer, not only in tire inade
quate compensation for your labor, but in the
constantly diminishing value of the lauds upon
Which it is gr-uvn.
To satisfy the most incredulous that the rend
cause of lotv prices, is the excess of production,
let us lor a moment look at facts. Go to nny
I i part of the world where cotton is used at all,
and you will find a super-abundant supply.—
From the most careful and minute examina
tion, it is ascertained, that the stock now in
Europe, at the rate of consumption of the past
year, is equal, at the lowest estimate, to the
wants of the trade for nine months. In «ddb
lion to this, the hugest crop ever made is now
going forward. This, if the consumption con
tinue the same, will be a sufficient supply for
eighteen months more, so that by the begi .riing
of January next, the slock will be equal to the
consumption of a whole year. With these
ficts staring us in the face, what reason have
we to anticipate any material advance in pri
ces? What is therein prospect that is not
dark on j gloomy ? If we g» on as we have
done, what have we to expect, but lower prices
still—an accumulation of the evils which now
Oppress us? It is true the present low pi ices
may nnd probably will increase consumption ;
policy too may lead the British manufacturer,
in order that he may entice us to continue the
culture, to grant us an additional pittance to
present quotations, but to neither of these sour
ces can we look with confidence, for any sub
stantial and perm.inetit relief. If we are wil
ling to occupy the position, in which the sub
jects of British India are placed by the iron
bile of their masters, to have meted to us just
that compensation for our labor which upon a
nice calculation, will enable us to subsist and
furnish for others tho materials for their pros
perity, we need onjy to pursue our present
Course nnd that result will inevitably and speedi
ly be accomplished. Shall the people of the
South however, by their own supmeness, by
the absence of prudent forethought and ener
gy, suffer themselves to be overwhelmed by the
r uin which is impending over them ? Could
the growers of cotton be taught to regard their
true interests, to act in concert, ns they 1 nve
the power in their own hands, they could fix
their otvn /n ice upon the product of their labor,
cud make their occupation one of the most pro
fitable the world has ever known. Tfiev are
their own worst enemies, the authors nnd the
£ ole tiutJiors of all their misfortunes. We arc
hot of Uiat class who expect to find a remedy
for the evils of which we complain, in resolu-
tions ofcouniy meetings, in Slate Conventions,
or in tho mutual pledges of our fellow-citizens,
‘hose may control tho action of a portion of
'ho Community, while others will be stimulated
by this very movement to supply the deficien
cy thus created, that they may profit by lhe
sacrifices the more generous and patriotic
have made for the ireneral g ’Otl. If relief be
fittind; other and more rational expedients
must he adopted. Men arc controlled by in
terest, and tlirough this medium they must be
approached. To divest them from their pre
sent self-destroying policy, they must not only
he thoroughly convinced of the real cause of
their chibarmssnienls and of tlie remedy, but
they must also have demonstrated to them, that
there are other pursuits and occupations which
will yield to labor a profitable return. That
such can be found there can be no doubt.—
The lime was, when the cotton plant was un
known to us, and prosperity prevailed through
out our country. Tlie Indigo which its intro
duction supplanted; lias as an article of trafic,
been entirely banished from amongst us. In
dia now en’bVs its monopoly, but it is not cer
tain she could retain it, were we, possessing us
wc db superior intelligence arid skill, to con
tend for it Madder it is said, is peculiarly
adapted to our soil an i climate, and well re
pays the labor bestowed upon its cultivation.
The Palma-Christi tor the manufacture ofCas-
lor-oil, has its claims to consideration, and the
little attention which has been paid to the Mul
berry and Silk-worm, conclusively prove that
the making of silk is not a speculation of the
Morns Mullicaulis stamp. We here take
the liberty of stating that one of the most intelli
gent and practical farmers of this county, who
for the lust two years has had his cocoonery in
successful operation, and whom we have often
seen dressed (cout, pantaloons, vest, stockings,
and gloves,) in silk of Ids own manufacture,
has realized a return for his labor and invest
ment, more than twice the amount upon the
same expenditure, of the most successful cot
ton planter in the State. What he lias done
others can accomplish.
In most of the lower counlies of ihe State,
there are immense Pine barrens, yielding but
little if any income to their owners. Why
may not these as well as other portions of the
country, become the pastures of large flocks of
sheep, and the trees be rendered productive by
the manufacture of Turpentine, Rosin, and
Tar? The truth is, wc have heretofore found
the growing of cotton profitable, and satisfied
with that, we have made but little investigation
into the extent of the resources which u kind
Providence has bestowed upon os in rich abun
dance. With almost every variety of so.I and
climpte, what is there that the real or imagina
ry wants of our race can demand that wo can
not supply ? In this wid • range what is there
that to a greater or less extent, cannot be turn
ed to some profitable accounts. Admit howev
er, that none of these pursuits should be profita
ble, or if you please, that they should be alto
gether unproductive, yet regarding it as un
deniably true, that one half the crops of cotton
now made will bring as much as the whole,
nothing would be lost. The labor thus divert
ed from the cctton-field would reduce the ex
tent of that crop, and in the ratio of reduction
enhance the price of that made.
In other States where our staple is grown,
the oppression which weighs so heavily upon
us, is t.lso experienced. In some parts of
Louisiana, where Cnttou has long been advan
tageously raised, it is to be supplanted by the
Sugar cane. In Florida anu some of tlie lower
counties of Alabama and this State, it will give
place to Tobacco. Throughout the whole cot
ton growing region, a spirit of inquiry has re
cently been excited, and is every day becom
ing more intense and extended. While there
fore wn nre striving to avert a common evil,
we may be stimuluti-d in our efforts, by tlie
knowledge that others, who are suffering with
ns, are uniting their efforts with ours, for its re
moval.
In ronnertion with this subject, there ate
other considerations to which wc respectfully
ii-vite your attention. Why should a barrel
of flour ever be imported into this State ? We
have lands «n which the finest wheat can be
grown, mills in which it can be manufactured,
and water power to propel as many more as
the necessities of the country shall demand.—
Why should we annually send to the Western
S ales hundred of thousands of dollars f« r Hor
ses, Mule*, and Hogs, when we have around us
every facility for raising them ourselves ? The
following statement furnished by the Keeper of
tho Toll-gate on the French Broad River in
North Carolina, will give s«me idea of the
amount of stock annually brought into South

This it will be remembered is the stock that
p issed the Cumberland mountain at one only
of its gaps, nnd by no means embraces all that
is annually brought into these two States.
A gentleman from Kentucky who for years
past has been largely engaged in the stock trade
in this State, and who possesses ample means
for correct information, lias kindly furnished us
with an estimate of the amount and value ot
stock brought into this Stale during the present
winter for our own use and consumption.
HOGS.
From Kentucy amt Tennessee by James
town route, 23,000
From Kentucky by Cutnbctland Rome,
76.000—for Georgia. 10.000
From West Tennetsee nnd N. Alabama, 10,000
In all -43.000 at So 50 per head.
Horses eml Moles by the same routes S.OOO
at 70 dollars per head,
9192,500
560 000
Making the enormous sura of €752.000
without any allowance for the Bacon im
ported from N. Orleans, or that brought to us
by wagons from Tcnnesseo.
Large asris this estimate, our Kentucky friend
assures us that the amount of stock brought
tlvis year to Georgia is unprecedentedly small.
Can we prosper: ought we to prosper, when
with our coiton a dreg in the markets of the
world, on account of its superabundance, wo
suffer from sheer negligence, or careless indif
ference, our wealth thus to be drained from us
in a constant and copious stream, und that, too,
to a quarter whence all their exactions are in
the precious metals, creating der-ngemenis in
our currency, nnd whence wc get no return,
except it be indirectly in the limited purchase
offabrics made of our colion ? It may be said
we have no pastures in which to raise our
stock; and that it requires too pinch corn nnd
small grain to sustain them. A part of our
cotton fields should, ns they can he, converted
into pastures, and a portion oftlte labor bestow
ed upon them should be dev died to tlie glow
ing of provisions. By this division of labor the
groat desideratum will, at least, be partially ob
tained ; the diminution of the amount of cotton,
and the consequent enhancement of its value.
Upon another subject tlie growers of cotton
have evinced a fatuity not less reprehensible
and ruinous than upon that to which we have
just adverted. While, fur years past, they have
been competing one with another to make the
largest crop; to increase the evils, they have
in the matter |
to foster a id extend the consumption. As we :
have it in onr power lo ilimi ivli the on”, seal- j
so may we largely extend the other. Without
specifying other instances where "e may give j
a preference to rubrics made of our own staple,
why shoidd we be tributary to Russia, Scotland,
India, or even our own Kentucky fur our hug
ging and rope, when in our own cotton, and that
too, of the most inferior quality-; for which, at |
at best, we are but illy paid, we have a suitable
substitute? Is ii objected that buyers prefer !
cot'on packed in bagging, and with rope made
of hemp or grass? L<t tiie practice be univer
sal, and their objections will be removed. The
truth is, there is no force in iliis objection, and
especially with regard to bagging. A heavy,
weli manufactured article, experience basal-
ready proven, is as readily accepted as that
made of any oilier material. Here it will at I
once be perceived an immense amount can be [
consumed. By its Consumption in this way
that amount is not only taken from tlie market,
hut the enormous sums now sent abroad for
these articles may be kept at home. The crop
of the last year is generally estimated at 2.500,-
000 balt*s. On the supposition that each bale
requires five yards ol bagging, which in being
manufactured will consume twelve pounds of
cotton, the bagging for the crop will consume
162,500 halt's of 400 pounds. On the suppo
sition that the rope necessary for each bids is
four pounds, consuming six pounds in tlie man
ufacture, the rope for the crop will require 81,-
250 bales of 400 pounds. In these two items
then, w ith such a crop as the last year’s,
we may annually keep from the market 243,750
hales of cotton. Would nut this bo real and
substantial relief? If a year ago it had been
authentically announced at Manchester, or up
on change, at Liverpool or New York, that
200,001) bales of cotton had been suddenly de
stroyed, it would have been followed by an in-
stantuncoos advance. If it were even now an
nounced that that number of bales were abstrac
ted from the present stock, we might confident
ly anticipate an advance that would amply re
ward the labors of the past y'ear, and give some
promise of remuneration for our next crop.
Another sitbject closely allied to that just no
ticed, we will here briefly present to your con
sideration— the establishment amongst us of
manufactures. Here another avenue is open
ed to ourenterprize, and one w hich both imme
diately und indirectly can diminish the produc
tion of our staple. But beside tit's, other in
ducements are now held out, to tempt us to cn
ter upon this new field of labor. We have tlie
raw material at our own door—operatives from
whom we can apprehend no “ turn outs'’ for
higher wages, a climate which does not demand
tlie intermiss on of labor during the inclemen
cies of winter; we have a supply of water
power unsurpassed by that in any other part of
the world, ami in the experiments already made
tyi ample guaranty of success.
But without further comment upon these
various remedies, or notice of others that might
be suggested, we come now to the important
inquiry, how can any of these be brought in
to efficient action; in what way can the great
reform in our agricultural pursuits, which all
admit to be necessary, he accomplished ? If
every man is left to his own unaided efforts,
nothing will bt* done. Time will indeed work
out the cure, not, however, until all have suffer
ed, and thousands have been driven into irre
mediable poverty. An invading foe may
march in triumph over the most populous
country, when each of its citizens meets him
singly ; but let all unite their energies and his
first onset is followed by his overthrow. In
other States agricultural societies have been
formed, and have proved efficient agents in ad-
• yae'cing the cause to which they are devoted.
In these associations, the science, skill, discove
ri< s and improvements of one member become
the property of all. Here a spirit of emulation
may be excited, which will cull into exercise
the noblest efforts for the general good. Here,
more effectually than in any other way, may
be indelibly impressed upon the minds of all
the suicidal policy of the excessive production
of cotton; and hero, with the force of demon
stration, can be pointed out those other pur
suits to which a portion ofithe labor of the coun
try enn most successfully be diverted. If.our
barren'fields are ever to be resuscitated, and
those now productive are to he retained in that
condition; if our farms are to be our homes,
nnd by mir industry taste and improvement ren
dered our cherished homes while we live, and
the homes of our children when we are <![0>>e;
if that propensity for locomotion nnd emigra
tion which, in every view, is one of the direst
cidamities that nff*-cts onr social relations,, is
ever to be banished from amongst us, what
agency better adopted to secure these results
can he devised than that now recommended ?
Let every county in the State have its Agri
cultural Society, with its frequent meetings
for the discus*ioti of topics connected with its
interests—let these meet annually by represen
tation in a State Convention—let other cotton
growing States imitate the example, and if the
spirit which animates the whole is worthy the
object in view, tlie day will not be distant when
tlie South may be redeemed regenerated, and
disenthralled. We repeat, that in the resolu
tions and mutual pledges of our fellow-citizens
with reference to the extent of their cotton
crops, we place no reliance, hut in the agency
of well.directed Agricultural Societies, ^light
ening the great mass ol the people with re
gard to the cause of their difficulties, pointing
out to them the most successful modes for its
removal; and presenting to them inducements
for their adoption and practical application,
we do believe that much may be accomplished.
If this instrumentality cannot succeed none
other will. If this fail, wc are without hope
and “ hewers of wood and drawers of water”
as we now arc to the princely manufacturers,
we shall soon find ourselves to" poor at d too
weak to render even tiiat service, and when
it shall be too late, have forced upon ns the hu
miliating truth that we have been our own de
stroyers. Confiding then as we do in the effi
ciency of tins agency if properly conducted,
und regarding the present as a period which
calls loudly upon every planter and firmer,
and especially upon every grow-r of cotton to
protect his interest, wc respectfully reccom-
mend tdyoii tlie formation «>f Associations in
your respective counties to act in conceit with
the Society which we represent. Let ns make
the effort. If ,ve net systematically, wisely,
zealously, wc shall not be alone. Our inte
rests, the interests of posterity, the interests of
our country demand the effort. If we accom
plish any thing the reward is our own. If we
fail, having faithfully discharged our duty, and
tho ruin now impending over us cannot be
averted, we shall ut least have the consolation
of knowing that none can say of us,- “ye did it.”
