There is a little pine land along tho route, but it is most ly oak and hickory—which is synon ymous with fertility. The truth is, we don’t remember ever to have passed oyer thirty consecutive miles of as good lands and as fine crops iu tho State or put of it. We found Cochran as it has always boon repre sented to us, a tidy little pity, full of pluck and enterprise from contor to circumference, and overextending a beokoning hand of wploomo to all who will oome and cost their lot with them.

When he returned he told her he had boon unable to get it changed, and that ho was-going to set up a picture gallery in Dublin and that she. must come over and take out her bill in pictures. I happened to be in town when he came. Seeing that ho intended to pass through without halting, and believing that ho was ongaed in pass ing off bad money, I stopped him, and asked him if he had paid my wife on his return. Ho pretended that he did not know me. After I got him to understand who I was, he said he had satisfied tho lady. “Well,” said I, “if she is satisfied, I am not, show me that $50 bill.” He said he didn’t havo a cent, and offered me his knife and umbrella. I refused to take them. He then said, “/ know where ycur house is, and if you detail mo or give mo any troulle about this matter, you'll re gret it the longest day you live." In view of the foregoing facts, I hereby publicly denounce John R. Weavor as a scondrel and a liar. Respectfully, Dublin Ga., Sept. 10th 1878.

After the Governor’s death, his daughter, Miss Troupe, romoved to Vallombrosa, Avhoro she resided alone till a' few years ago'avIioh sho married a gentleman named Vigal.
