A gentleman who has been travelmg
extensively through Washington county,
gives the Sandersville Georgian the fol
lowing as the result of his ^observations:
Planters are finding no difficulty in pro
curing an abundance of labor. The ten
dency is to reduce rather than to increase
the area cultivated last year. Au unusu
ally large quantity of small grain has
been sowed. Not more than a fourth of
the amount of commercial manures used
the past year will be used next. The
people have but little money, but the
supply of provisions is good. Planters
generally intend to raise provision crops
next year. The county is in a healthy
and prosperous condition. The cotton
crop has fallen far short of what planters
believed it would be even a few weeks
since. The freedmen have generally
worked well the past year, and are con
tracting freely for the next. A good
state of feeling exists between the two
races.

his wife, living on Warren Harris’ place,
about ten miles north of Perry, locked
up their three children in their cabin and
went off to Fort Valley. They were gone
all day, aud when they returned they
found tho house burnt to the ground and
the children consumed in it. It is sup
posed that the children played with the
lire, and that the house enugut accident
ally. It was in a field, some distance
from any other house, hence no one knew
that it was on fire.

Columbia, December 20.—The resolu
tion impeaching Governor Scott is pend
ing. Bowen spoke two hours, declariug
himself terribly in earnest, and that he
meant to impeach every guilty State offi
cer certain. He stated that Scott con
fessed to the twenty-two millions of dol
lars of fraudulent bonds, and within
three days the State Treasurer, Parker,
defied the Legislature to proceed against
him because of the legislative corrup
tion. Bowen, in order to obtain a cer
tain two-thirds, moved the postpone
ment of the impeachment resolutions
until alter the Christmas recess, If a
full House rejected the measure, Bowen
would resort to the courts. He had
pledged himself to assist, with evidence
and other means, in order that the Gov
ernor and other guilty offi rials might be
convicted. It is rumored that Scott, ad
mitting conviction by the Senate if im
peached by the honse, will resign.

the rows of corn close to the cob. shelling very easily aud rapidly; when the ear c»n no longer be held, the
projecting cob is taken hold of by tho right hand, and the sheller ro»ated with the left.
