This Year with the Farmers.
The time is now at hand wheu planters
isually set about preparing their lands for
:he crops which they propose to grow
upon them during the present year, and
a word of advice, as to what they should
plant most, largely, may not be altogether
out of p^ce.
Hitherto, the people of our Southern
country have given their attention almost
entirely to the production of cotton, to the
* " *1 *- -? c ?l ;f
exclusion oi ocuer aruuiea ui vijuin ? j
greater importance. Many, we have no
doubt, believe that it is their only means of
living. For several years, the staple commanded
remunerative prices, and wo ail
prospered. But when we thought ourselves
most secure, tho panic came, the i
price of cotton at once declined to a point
far below the actual cost of its production,
and all have been set back many years in
tboir business operations. Tho losses
have, indeed,.been serivus, and in some
cases well nigh irreparable, but they can
bo repaired, if a lesson bo learned from
the experience of-tho past. It is cotton,
as much as anything else, that is to day
making paupers of our people. In a very
large majority of instances, those .vho
make the growing of cotton a specialty
are now, and will* continue to be until
they change their course, slaves to their
factors, and tho victims of bankers, stock
gamblers, &c., 'who, by their manipulations,
control tiie money market. The
crop of 1873 was an uncommonly large
one, aud yet how few did not sink money
in its production ? What assurances have
we that the same state of affairs will not
exist at any timo in the future ? Other
things being equal, the demand is always
inversely as the supply, and if we raise
only two million bales, the returns therefor
will be nearly as large as they are for
our four millions: So a largo erop does not
benefit the producers so much as ono would
suppose. What, thee, can bo the policy
that prompts the expending of all our
means in the production of a large crop
of cotton, the price of which per pound
ia diminished in proportion as the crop is
a largo ono, whilo our smoke-houses and
corn cribs are in Charleston and Baltimore
? Such a policy is suicidal, to say
the least of it. But say some, our lauds
and our climate aro peculiarly adapted to
the raising of cotton, and we do not wish
to give it up. While this is true, it is
also true that our soil is so various and
our climate so genial and favoring, that almnafc
evarvthinff needed for man or beast j
'grown advantageously by us. The
hay, which is brought from tho North aud
sold to us at two dollars per hundred,
could be raised at home at a coat uot exceeding
one-fourth of that amount. The
corn, the flour, for which we -are made to
pay from one to two hundred per cent,
upon their original cost, could bo raised
at home with but little more trouble aud
expense than they are in tho North aud
Northwest. Aud .our shoes, and cotton
and woolen fabrics could bo manufactured
at a less expense than any where else in
the world. Thou why do our planters
continue to invest their all in the production
of cotton ? \V liy louger pursue a
course which couipols thcui to give liens
upon their crops to factors and merchants,
to pay two prices for their supplies, to soli
their cottou at a sacrifice, and, in the cud,
to iind themselves in a condition infinitely
worse than if they hud folded their arms
and done nothing during the whole year ?
A j nu fliou- nliint nntfnn tliev will
iO iVU^j HO illVJ J/1MWV ^
have to give lien# iu order to secure advances
; and as long as they give liens,
they cannot prosper. Lot the experience
of the past bo utilized, so us to compel
ui.-courageuients to contribute
future triumphs. Let our planters learn
a lesson from what they have already undergone,
and immediately tako steps to
avoid being again forced to carry like
burdens. Let us all manifest more outerprise,
avail ourselves of the blessings of
Providence, look moro to our real inter-j
?eats, depart from the groove* in which we
have been accustomed to move, or at ill
greater di.-asters will befall us.
The Legislature.
Still eoatinues In session, no time for
adjourniueit having yet been fixed. Considerable
time was consumed in the discussion
of the Memorial of the Taxpayers'
Conventiol iu reference to amending the
tax laws, vhich matter was settled by the
odoptiun o* the following resolution :
lirtoli That 11*0 Memorial bo referred
to a special committee of seven, with
instruction to report a bill to alter and
amend lb? law in relation to the assessment
aul tollcctiou of taxes iu this State. |
Tito qoomittee consists of P. Simkine,
E. W. 21. ^lackey, J. 1>. Boston, James
A. Bowiey, T. Hurley, Gabriel Cannon,
and 3. -rcen. It is thought that the
whole nochinery of the tax law will be
changed.
A Bill has passed W regulate the assessment
ant collection of taxes in Aluriou
County, iu response to a protest of tiioj
people of tint county against the unja-t,
^essn.eiits t'unt had been imposed upon i
tbvn.
A bill baa been inlroduoed to pay a i
claim of ?8d7.U2t>.2i, held against the
State by E. 1>. Wesley, of New York. A
bill to pay claims to the amount of 8215,000,
held by J. "Woodruff and A. 0.
Jones, Trustees, was defeated in the Senate
by a vote of 20 to 8.
The House is discussing the tax levy
for the next fiscal year, which at present
is fixed at 12 mills. We hope that mod.
erutc counsels will prevail, as our people
cannot staud another levy as heavy as that
ui^der which wc arc now staggering.
Six Regents have been elected for the
State Lunatic Asylum, viz.: S. J. Leo,
Robt. Smalls, Gen. Gabriel Cannon, A. A.
Hnyne. J. M.Smith, t.id N. T. Spencer.
Gabriel Cannon and J. M. Smith arc
white, the rest colored men.
Thomas Steers has presented a petition
fertile payment of$250,000, which he
claims that the State owes him for work
on the Blue Ridge Railroad.
Rev. John Bachnian, Ph. D., D. D., L.
L. D., well known as a Lutheran miuister
of Charleston, and a distinguished naturalist,
died in that city, on Tuesday, 24th
ult., in the S5th year of his age.
Extract from the Atlanta
Herald, Feb. 1st 1874.
GEOEGIA STATE AGRI'L SOCIETY 1
Secy's Offiiee, Atlanta Ga. Jan. 117,1874. j
To the Editors of the Herald:
At the last mooting of the State Agricultural
Society, there was imposed upon the Secretary
the duty of obtaining samples of all
Coinmerical Fertilizers exposed for sale in
this State, ami sending the same to the
Analytical Chemist in the State College
of Agriculture and the Mechanic Arts at
Athens, for analysis and estimation of value.
I have, therefore, obtained and sent to the
Choniist, Prof. While, samples of most of the
leading Guanos aud Phosphates, that are sold
iu this State. It is proper to say here thai
these samples were taken by myself in person,
from the bulk, in the warehouse where they
were stored, and put in nir-t ight glass jars.
The analyses were made by number, the Chemist
not knowing the name of the article oj
from whom it was obtained. The names ot
ihe Fertilizers, correspondent with the nuuibt i
sent to the Chemist, were preserved iu my
office. I have received from the Laboratory
of tho State College the following result ol
the analyses of Fertilizers, as shown in tht
inclosed report of Prof. White. The calcula
tion of the Commercial value, includiny proji
oil manufacture, gives as the cash value, foi
which the article should be sold in Savannah
as follows:

Weekly C'cllou Kevicw("Form
(h \< \v York Bulletin.]
The past week has developed some new
points in tho cotton speculation, and at
the same time brought thorn to an car])
end. In fact, it is so on the Cotton Kxfluiigo.as
in other bti iness circles, any
new drii't is, when discovered, certain to
bo followed to the extreme conclusion, to
b followed by more or less r action. It
was discovered that the later months, and
especially the summer months, were relatively
higher than cotton on the spot.
There bad been more disposition to buy
for June and July, and it was felt that
the risks arising from the possible success
of tho scheme of indation, a fulling oil" in
receipts, or bad weather for the next crop,
were such that it was di&cull to sell them
except at pretty full prices. The result
was, that while low middling was quoted
on the spot at 13J cents, it was sold for
Jnly as high as 171 cents. Therefore to
sell for July, purchase cotton for cash and
make provisions for carrying it till it should
become available far delivery on contracts
for th? Infer mouths, was said to secure a
certain though moderate profit. Hut action
on tills point broke July down ?e,
while spots fell off only lc, and we hoard
nothing ol'it after Tuesday evening. 'There
/
I
was, however, considerable done during
Wednesday and Thursday, iu exchanging
contracts lor delivery in early months, to
those which did not call fur the cotton till
May or the summer months, aud large
quantities of cotton have been shipped to
Liverpool on consignment. But legitimate
business in cotton on the spot has beeti
kept within seasonable limits. In the mean
time stocks have become excessive at all
points, and shipments on consignment
must be resorted to as a measure of relief, ]
unless our holders are prepared to throw
themselves without reserve into the arms
of the expert buyers.
The cuurse of receipts has been a disappointment
to operators for a rise. Those
of last Sat urday encouraged them a good .
deal, but the lareo receipts on Monday '
from New Orleans, aud Savannah on Tuesday,
were quito demoralizing, and left
theui without a peg to hang a hope upon;
and for (he remainder of the week they
seemed inclined to accept the situation,
the lowest prices having been made on 7
Friday afternoon. The opening on Saturday
was more steady, but without much
activity.
The weather has been bad at the South.
Heavy rains have fallen in the eutiro cot- .
ton-growing region. Preparation of the /
soil for planting will therefore be delayed.
Lut it is, of course, too early for
any serious inconvenience to be felt on
this account.
The trade in cotton goods seems to bo
in an unsatisfactory condition.
A disgraceful scene occurred in the Supreme
court of Mississippi sitting at Jack- ^
son, on the 9th inst, in which the Chief
Justice of the State was the prominent Q
actor. The members of the court were
about leaving the consultation-room for |
the court-room when Chief Justice Peyton
suggested a delay that lie might proceed
to designate a reporter to the court, to fill ]
a vacancy. Justice Tar bell dissented to
the proposition, when angry words passed
betweeen the justices. Justice Tarbell
made a movement toward Judgo Peyton, ^
when the latter at once prepared for action.
With a promptness and celerity that
would do 110 discredit to a much younger
man, lie at once drew his knife and ''presented
arms to Justice Tarbell, and but for t
the prompt interference of Justica Simrail.
it is believed that the floor of the torn
. pie of justice would have been stained hy
i the blood of one of its own ministers.

TUG undersigned offers iiis services as
H!SURAL LAND AfiRXT: havingcstublish?1
communication wi'h persons of till classes
;lio#:uay lie induced to buy land in South
'nrolina. It is of gr at importance that the
icculiar attractions "fered by our section, to
hose wishinjr ti> settle upon//<> / own l<rn<l*, be
ronglit into uoticc. This can only be done
y makin it a specialty.
The class of immigrants most needed among
s, (all others,-Nit'c?ui so, arc welcome.) is the
?!< who brings with him enough to buy?even
11 as:i. .11 way?a cert liuquantity of our land;
the ouly capital which we have left.) This
i easily done, by such a one, as one-fourth the
stiuiated value paid down, will give him a
itle, and t. sses.don : with three or four, and
veil ilve years, to pa the balance.
This class of >ct11 . >, native or immigrant,
in- .iK- dealt with personally -must be coninccd
that this eountry.with nil its advautaes
does exist, and Is within his reach. Once
itislicd ?ii this poii: the rest is easy. They
new nothing of our country, heretofore clos1
10 the outside world, and it has to be told
> them.
The object of the AEEXCY is to do this: to
pproaei. the man?w heresoever lie may lie?
ho has the means, ;d induce him by stateicnts.
MADE IN SI II A WAV THAT III) IS
IH.ItlED TO PUT F VITII IN TIIEM to intst
in our land.
This will give the land a commercial value,
nd bring the best cla- sof settlers.
Persons wishing to dispose of lands should
rst have them surveyed, and laid off in farms
from fifty to one hundred and fifty acres.?
othing can be done, under the plan propos1,
with bodies of land in block. The thing
i be sold must be oifcred in lots to suit the
archaser.
All business in connection will receive
rict attention from the und.rsisrued.
