1t is admitted by southern papers
that the establishment of oranges of the
order of che Patrons Of Husbandry has
been productive of MANY benefits to that
region. They have given an impetus to
white immigration, 30 much needed to
occupy and fertilize the lands trampled
over by hostile armies, and denuded by
the calamities of civil war. The area
of acres planted in cereals has greatly
widened IN the last few years, rendering
certain localities independent for home
supplies of food. Manufactures are also
springing up, wherein the abundant raw
materials of the south are wrought into
fabrics, which before the war were al
mcst entirely imported. Georgia has
attained pre-eminence in this respect
the statenow boasts numbers of cotton
mills in Which several thousand opera
tives ere employed, and which impnrt
degree OF prosperity that is felt by all
GLASSES and conditions of society. The
Patrons lave besides, exercised an infiu
ence in toning down the rancor of party
spirit, which had most demoralizing
efect'upo the industrial pursuits. The
avowed object Of the Patrons is to stim.
!ulate the. growth of agriculture and to
improve the condition of those who on
gage in it. This mission they havesac-
complished, not only IN such of the
southern states as have adopted the or
der, but throughout the entire country;
and if they continue to practice upon
the design which has been declared to
be the paramount object in their organ
ization, the measure of their usefulness
will be as boundless as the wide field in
which they propose to conduct their
operations. b srs Is'5iilY
