We accidently omitted to state in our last, that at a meeting of the stock holders of this company, held in this city on the 25th ult., L. N.

A Brisk Little Place.—In giving an ac count of a lively little town ‘out Wes;,’ it is said that in one day they recently had two street fights, hung a man, rode three men out of lown on a roil, got up a turkey shooting, a 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 tle place this. ■ ™* • 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 } j left to others who Ik« ve no in teres Horses tc Mules. Hogs. Black Cattle. Sheep.

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.” With great respect, vourob’t serv’ta., D.
