Dear Sir: ! received your favor Of the
18th inst, this morning, Tor which am
much obliged, a. il viii enable me TO
point out a locality in GeOrBia Rnd Ala-
bama where the people OF both sides OF
the question at present diVloihB the
country. are in extreme want Tor pro
visions. and many who have means
to do so viii be compelled 20 qult
their homes, unless they can get
subsistence enough to sl2ble them
10 make crops this year. The
people Of Carroll, Harrison, POLK,
Paulding, Campbell Corveta and Heard,
Georgia and Randolph, Calhoun ana
Cherokee, Alabama, are represented 70
me as not having provisions to last them
until May next and great numbers VINO
have the means to move viii be COM
pelled TO do so, unless they can procure
provisions from abroad. All classes 81
the citizens are alike destitute, the rlch
as well as the poor, aud both must st2rVe
If they remain in the country, unless
provisions are sent to them. The rich
are perfectly willing to purchase II any
one will send them provisions, end wait
for them to gather IN their crops before
demanding payment.
BY aiding these people, ! know you
will be doing good service IN renewing
distress which is common throughout
the south, snd you will also be giving
encouragement to people who viii sp-
preciate the relief afforded them in their
time Of need. l am, sir, very respect
fully, your obedient servant, .,..s
P. E.-Corn and bacon are articles most
essential, a. the people absolutely need
something to enable them 20 remain AT
home and cultivate their crops. Any
thing sent TO Mr.. W. II. Mcdaniel, Car
roll county, Ca, via Newman, Ca, OF
the Atlanta and West Point railroad
Will reach him safely. He is the authoI-
lied agent Of the citizens OF Car-oll
county. / can send you the names OF
the agents for the other counties, should
yeu desire them. IL will be necessary 70
write to those counties, however, TO get
the other names. q. ID, i.
Upon this disgracefuf result, the Times
thus comments:
CH,CAGO's GLORY AND SHANE.
The com ,uittee recently appointed by
tb a hoard of trade in this city 70 solicit
-. orintious frJl the relief of famishlng
,aonIs In the SOUTH reported yesterday
ttI,et tbsy had failed tu the object OF their
s-r,,oiDtfnent. Members Of the board
NJ generally manifested reluctance 70
s,,I,seSribe ~, ANYTHING, and the total amount
~ snbscri5tions obtained was SO slnaii
thst tbe committee did not thnk II az
visabIe TO forward it, but rather Ihab y
should be returned to the sli)scriDer -
notiou 10 that effect was maae 10 the
board and was agreed to WIN Bisa1
unanfmify. The total amount OF sdo-
scriptions obtained was not stateu oy
1 the committee. but it was subsequently y
ascertained to be only about ttco hundred
3 and tJrsnfy fire dollars 4!
I In another place will be seen caro-
J from Mr.. Carter II. Harrison, who re-
I Gently undertook, voluntarily, TO raise
l ftipd for the star tshg people Ia the south
Z which should be IN some measure credit
able to the great commercial metropolis
Of the northwest, whose wealth has beer
[ 40 greatly augmented through the evil
Of war. Mr.. Harrisonis efforts hav'
bsfn almost equally unsuccessful, anS
he, also, proposes &c return to the sub
seribers the meagre amounts he has re
ceived, rather than forward them in tn
name OF Chicago.
To say that the wealthy inhabitants o
Chicago have thoroughly disgraee'
themselves in this matter would be higi
praise in comparison to the language o
censure which they deserve. Not onll
have they disgraced themselves, bu
they have brought reprOaeh upon tn
0ood name Of Chicago which will live il
fhe memory Of mankind forever.
