Governor Brown, Of Georgia, make, the following
suggestions 10 his late message to the Legislature Of that
State:
On account Of the blockade Of our ports, our planters
are unable 10 sell their cotton which Is the great staple
production OF the STATE and brings into the Sac the
upy which stimulates and sustans every other branch
Of Industry. The Of the people Including the Con

in the present generation. Uoless something be
reaiz ed by the sale CT by advance upon, Gotten
will be next to impossible for our people to raise the
money with which 10 meet hi, heavy burden Such Is
The patriotism Of people, and such their zeal in the
glorious cause Of independence, that all seem per-
fectly willing submit to any amount Of taxation neces
sary TO sustain the Government, if they raise the
money by Gale Of the products Of their labor but they
are not willing have large amounts Of valuable pro
perry sacr ,ed IN Ter the Saerfs hammer, to raise
small Of money 20 m ret th.r taxes. In this state
of things is the duty Of the Government to do all that
can be done 10 tff Jri relief.
Az the bes. mode of relief which to my mind,
recommend the appointment OF officer Of ability ana
experience with competent salary, which will enable
him Il devote his whole time TO work, who shall be su
thorz d. ON receiving satisfactory evidence that any
planter has deposited his cotton In any ware house In any
interior town of this State and has insured the zane
against less by fire for twelve monthe, with any solvent
Insurance Company in the State, advance to such
planter two thirds Of the market value Of his crop to be
paid in Treasury notes Of this State seoured above
proposed, which are to be received In payment Of oil
public dues and funded with eight pr cent bonds when
pr sansd for that purpose redeemsbe 81 the option Of

The law hould give the State the control Of the cot

eight per interest," the rate PAID By the State, when
tbs blockade Is removed, and the cotton scld. This
would enable planters TO realize upon their crops,
sufficient TO meet their current expenses and to pay
all taxes required Of them for the necessary expense OF
the war, and the support OF the Government. think
our people have right to expect such relief ss
