AUGUSTA GA, Aug y.
The whole State is now on the eve OF put
ting forward its nominees for Congress. We
have nine to elect, and thanks to the Civil
Rights & II, the Freedman's Bank, and hun
bred other swindles put upon the negro by the
Radical party, there is good reason to hope
that the Democrats will return an unbrokel
delegation to Congress. Never was party
more demoralized than the Radicals Of Geor-
gia. With the fraud and the vllanies be-
queathed to it as legitimate legacy by Bull
lock and his band of outlaws, supplemented
by the rascalities of the organization at large,
it is, instead of small knot of martyred he
roes, pititul muddle Of spawned rogues.
| Having either run the carpet baggers out of
the State or put them in the Penitentiary, the
white people Of the State are now completely
masters of the situation in their local govern
| ments, and hope at the Congressional election
to send forward to Washington men who will
represent Georgia instead OF Massachusetts,.
| Georgia does notappear in the family OF States
to-day in the form OF a becgar, or as a suppl
ant for mercy, but a tuil-hedged equal,
clothed in the habiliments of manhood, intel
lectuaily, commercially, ''the peer OF any lord

COMPLETELY DEMORALIZED.

But finding that they did not get the land and
the mules, and that all the money put into
that bank has been stolen, they refuse to
longer believe that their old masters are enc

the solid oaths of the New England adven-

These insufferable whelps are out of employ
ment, out Of cash, out OF character and out at
the elbows, and just outside of jails, where
nine-tenths of them ought to be.
A BETTER CLASS OF NORTHERN PEOPLE COMING.
It is really gratifying to every true citizen
Of Georgia to see Northern gentlemen and
ladies rapidly immigrating to the State-men
and women of sterling worth and honest in-
tentions. They are received with open arms
nd +lo toll I'd OF
once accorded the highest courteses of citi-
zenship. There are fortunes here for all s,lch
there is freedom and social equality for each
and every honorable gentleman who comes
among us. But while this is true of them,
we are exactly like the people of other States
i'll regard to that other class; we have nothing
but ropes and prison walls tor them.
GEORGIA AND WESTERN PRODUCE.
For the first time since the war Georgia will
make enough corn this year to supply her
people. 1t would make nearly enough meat
if it had stock hogs.
Stimulated, or rather fascinated by the
high price of cotton just after the W I, the
cultivation OF all things else was well nigh
abandoned Every energy was made to bend
to the production Of the great staple, until, in
1872, we paid the people of the Northwest
S24, 600, 600 for meat, bread. horses and
mules The folly Of this policy was amply |
and most abundantly proved by the bankrupt
of the planters last year Their
cotton crop usually sells for about $50, 0C0,O00
and if they pay you twenty four for somt thing
10 eat alone, it wall at once be seen that Il
small amount remains to meet other obliga-
tons. But almost complete revolution has
taken place in this respect The farmers
have gone back to the plans of their fathers
forty years ago--raise enough supplies for the
plantation first, and then all they can besides.
Under this system the State was great happy
md prosperous. 1t will be so again.
The estimated amount OF bacon, flour, ETC.,
which will be imported t. Georgia in 1875 is
IS, O00, 00O worth, or falling Off of SIG, OO0,-
100 in two years. The chief article of de-
nand will be bacon. This sum will be still
urther reduced in 1876, and in three years
lence the amount will be nominal sum.
Small, well cultivated, wholly self-sustaining
arms are now popular with all classes OF til
ers Of the soil Large plantations with their
rmies of cormorant darkies, over fifty per
ent of whom are idlers, who never work. bat
Who always eat, are giving way to four or five
hundred acre places held well in hand, high
Y fertilized and worked with few industrious
lands.
