David W. Lewis, Sec’ty
W* invite special attention of our
readers to the above notice for a State
Agricultural Society of Georgia to as
sciablo in Atlanta on tho first \V ednoa
ddy in February We regard it ns
one of the most important assemblages
which has ever met in Georgia; and
urge upon our friends in all tho coun
ties to meet nt once, and form county
organizations, and make the necessary
arrangements for sending a full repre
sentation, to the Convention. Ten del
egates will bo allowed from each coun
ty, and will passforone fare over thesev
eral Railroads, provided they are from
regular organized County Societies
All Mechanical Manufacturing or Min
ing organizations are requested to semi
delegates a'so.
Gov. Bullock uud Keconslruc
tion.
The present unenviable condition ol
Georgia and her relationship to the Gen
eral Government has beoD, to a great
extent, attributed to the position as
sumed by Gov. Bullock before tho Ro
coLstruction Committee in Congress.—
We can but regret his course, occupying
a position as he did, where he cou'd
have, by a true representation of all the
peculiar circumstances connected with
Georgia, thrown “oil upon the troubled
waters/’aud given permanency to the
present organization ot our State Gov
ernm-nt. But bis policy thus far, has
been one of marked significance, and
merits the utter condemnation of every
honest citizen who appreciates the peace
and good order of society, as an object
paramount to every other consideration.
TJis representations before the Recon
struction Committee, in reference to the
condition of affairs in his own State,
was so far from the truth, that even his
Radical friends have been forced to
abandon his platform and leave him to
perish amid the ruins of his own super
structure.
Look upon (hit And then on that :

secure in Georgia." " ***• decla " ,ha J ia all
6 the counties from
whence they came,
that thero is safety
both to “life and prop
erty," universal peace,
and the laws fully and
faithfully a d oi in is
tered.
With iLesc facts before the people of
we would earnestly enquire of
every honest man, which of the two
representations arc true? Gov. Bullook,
who, would sacrifice every principle for
the advancement of his party, or tlieevi
donee rendered by Radicals and Demo
orat* from One Hundred and Thirteen
Counties? Men who love the truth and
the prosperity ot tho country more than
party; and whose devotion to principle
far exceeds that of party aggrandise
ment? Could the purposes of Gov.
Bullock, and the motives which actuates
him, be consummated, we should soon
wit Lost, in Georgia the scenes which are
now transpiring in Arkansas. But we
hvpe for better things; and trusting to
the integrity and judgment of Congress,
shall lo r kto the future with brighter
aatveip&tions for a successful termination
oi oar present diScuities.
Tbo Wends of Gen Grant say
be desires the preseat Congress to settle
the financial question, in order to relieve
hie adminiatra ion from embarrassment
oi this question. Th® Badical traders
Jo uot see the subject in this light, and
the ohanees are they w’il settle General
Grant bsfore they do the financial ques
tion. Those who plunder shipwrecked
passengers are not anxious for an abate
ment of the storm.— Philadelphia Aye
The apothecaries of Paris are to low
er tbo price of their drug'.
Why is It, him! How t
For tho life of u>, wo novor could see
why it was that Railroad Companies
made Editors “foik over’’ for travelling
over their roads. Men who “wiitc foi
glory and print on trust,’’ and spend all
the vigor of their youth for promoting
the public interests. We puff their
Roads, their Engines, their Presidents
and Conductors, and never say ought
about their deticienccs and high r»*<" of
freight, and their wholesale system of
skinning all classes of our citizens.—
Wc h live hero taforo refrained Irom all
theso things, hoping to merit respect
enough from Railroad Companies to pass
us over their various roads by a compli
mentary ticket—a matter very soothing
to the pocket of a country editor. In
alluding to this subject, we cannot omit
noticing especially the liberality of Mr.
Virgil Powers, Superintendent of tho
South-Western Rub road and C 1 E.
Hulbert, Superintendent of the W. &
A. Railroad, who have universally passed
editors over their roads free of charge.
We arc sati.-fied that our presence is
especially required in Atlanta during
tho session of tho Legislature, upon
many important points. We wish to
give some directions in rcfcronco to the
Negro members; also, to iuforin Gov.
Bullock that the Republicans in this
section cannot swallow his Rccons'rucs
lion Bolus, both from its size and com
position—would much prefer it adminis
tered in Homeopathic pellets.
Cotton Crop (or 1830.
We make tiio following extract in
rolulion to cotton, its future cultivation
in this country to show how little Eu
ropeans understand the real condition
of our Agricultural interest in tho Uni
ted States Messrs. Smith, Edwards
&Cos in their Mauebcst’r Circular,
says:
“But the most important, con
sideration of all is the chance of a large
American crop next season. Wo at
tach great v eight to this point. The
planting community of the South is
reaping enormous profits from tho
present crop, probably an average of
at least eight cents or 3d per pound
lor we believe the present crop does
not coct on an average over 15 cents
per pound. Therefore, wo feel sure
that they will go into planting with ex
traordinary energy for the coming sea
son, and we bohtve tho breadth of
land sown will be 2b to 50 per cent,
larger than lust year. Tbo know ledge
of this cannot full to influence our mar
ket some months hence, and it will
have a deterring effect upon merchant*
in Manchester who ship to distant
markets. We pronounce no opinion
as to the possible yield of the next
crop; that will depend mainly upon
the available amount of labor, but we
may be sure that every effort will bo
made to grow the largest amount of
c ttori, and should the season pro' 0
fine we may safely say that u heavy in
crease is on the oar Is.”
The South, the greatest cotton grow
ing country on the habitable globe
during the days of slavery, cannot, ut -
dcr the most favorable auspices, ever
produce more than a two-thirds crop
as computed to former years. Tie
system of ft ee labor in this country,
cannot bo controlled, or directed in
such a manner, as to subserve tho in
terest of the Planter as it was when
they were slaves. Thousands of acres
ol land in the finest cotton growing sec
tions of Georgia and other States South
tiro turned out to remain idle, from the
fact, that laborers cannot be obtained
to cultivate them, and consequently the
forthcoming crop cannot even reach
the number of bales ol the past year.
Tiia result will be, that prices will con
tinue firm, and in all probability go up
much higher. And we would, with
all the laots bePre us, advise out
friends to keep their cotton under their
Gio Houses, awaiting future develop
ments, unless compelled, from pecuni
ary embarressments to force their cot
ton upon the market.
Bad foh Mr. Hill —Tho New York
Tribnne, of the 16th, has this to say of
this gentleman's chanoes to get his scat
as Senetor from Georgia. We Buspcct
there is some buncombe about it, and de
signed, perhaps, to operate at Atlanta;
’’The question of the admission of Mr*
Joshua Hill, of Georgia to a seat in tbe
Senate was to-day settled, so far as the
action of tbe Judiciary Committee is oot
cornedi The maoner of the eleotion of
the Senators, the fact of the expulsion
of the colored members of tbe
ture on the ground that they were inel
igible, u nder the State Constitution,and
all the points bearing upon the subject
were fully discussed. After a long con
sultation the Committee came to a direct
vote on the question of tbe admission of
Mr. Hill, and a majority voted against
allowing him a seat. It is probable that
that a long debate will arise in the fSen
ate when tbe report is submitted, but tbe
action of tbe Committee will doubtless
be sustained.”
The Hon. Mb. Menard.—The New
York Courier, as if in agony of suspense
or anxiety, exclaims:
"What has v ecomeof the deeply, dark
ly, beautifully black mem her of Congress
from Louisiana? Where is Menard?
wbat have tehy done with him? Does he
he sit on the floor of Congress, or does
be look down with superb contempt on
bis fellow-mombers fro o the gallery? It
is time this thing was inquired into* Ev
ery good citizen sympathised with Mc
nard. They felt the danger They knew
that even the sturdiest African virtue
could not resist the evil communication
of the House of Representatives. If,
then, Providence h*9 plucked Menard rs
a brand from that burning, for heaven’s
cake let us know it.”

The Washington correspondent of the
B»vinn»h Republican, of the 17 tb, say»:
Tho Reconstruction Committeo h*vo
closed up their investigation of the-Geor
gia case, and yesterday «'&* a large
amount of testimony ,n tho Government
p,inter. As soon ni this is put in type
the (In:nmi’toe will prepare a rep. r’i
It dcfo’-’ ( o he the general understand-1
that the committee will report ad
verse t>any fun her disturbance of the
present State Government of Georgia.
They propose to leavo with the Leg.
itluture of your State the question as
to whither negroes are entitled, under
th C institution, to smts thcre : n, wi h
the privilege of an appeal '0 the Sta'e
Courts, and from thence to the Supreme
Court of the United Slates. This course,
it is thought, will prove satisfactory to
all concern and.
f etbin liing Again.
The Now York Commercial Adverts
-lOr is of the opinion that cotton bids
! fair to mount his throne again. As
j suming that the emp will realize to the
South lot ween $200,000,000 and 300,
' 000,000. it says that this sum will not
j have to be made over tr- factors, who in
firmer years took the lion’s shire. It
, will not bavo to be expended for doctor’s
. b'll, incurred by sick and infirm negioss;
or to maintain a Urge floairtg popula
tion of slaves in comparative idleness
! until the planting season again begins.
1 Huge .'tore bills will oot have to be met
1 as in other days; when planters support
jed large bodies of slaves. Tho whole
amount can be appropriated to the
1 recuperation aDd regeneration of the
region desolated by the iron heel cf war,
and iu a very few years at the farthest
the South will be on her feat rgain.
Cotton is thus once more to become
[ King, a king with free subjects rich
, and powerful, and independent of all
.foreign dynasties. The S utborn peo-
I pie can, now that slaves labor has dis
appeared almost indefinitely, increase
i their oo'ton resourses. Aud to this end
they should do all in their power to at
tract Northern capitalists thither, who
bringing with thorn Y’ankeo energy, en
terprise aud resources, will prove ofin
vJuab'e aid and assi-danoe in developing
aDd pushing forward Southern psospor
ity.
