Agricultural Prospect* of Georgia,
'Ve had the pleasure, some day* ago, of meet
ing a it intelligent ayricu'turist from I lie North,
now on a tour through the Southern States, lie
cornea for the purpose of informing himself of the
condition a»vJ prosper** of Southern agriculture,
and not t«» meddle in any wav with our institutions
A few years a-rei. I)*’ visited England and Eurojie
for a similar object. The subjoined extract til a
private letter troin Columbus to a friend in (iiis ci
ty, embodies aemc of his iinpre.s-i m* in rog trd to
Western Georgia :
“ Though tlte soil of Western Georgia, to a
Northern iiumi observing superficially, seem* poor
and unpromising, the stubble of the corn and
other evidences show it to be greatly productive
and that the crops of the last year at least were
heavy and profitable. The roads, winch have j 1,1
been-almost impassible from the heavy rains early i '“*•*
in January, are now nearly dry, and cotton is j win
moving rapidly to market. At least two hundred j , ccl
wagons must have entered Columbus to-day.— ! J
The country is evidently prospering and improv- “
ing. Every where i observe a great deal of land l,,m
being cleared and preparing for the coming sea- | as i
son. A great many new houses, stables and j „,jij
negro settlements are building, and I have seen ,
several new churches in the woods. Extrusive u ‘
hill side ditching and swamp draining is going on, v ' '•*
and I have noticed guana in the returning cotton the
wagons. The country people with whom I have j j, re ,
conversed, are the most busy, hopeful and ambi- . f
tioua dial I have seen at the South.
“Tl»ere is one Agricultural operation that will,
I think, eventually add much to the wealth ut |
Georgia, which seems not yet to have been thought
of. There are frequent water courses and me i , .
sandy soil is exactly of the character best adapted I P
for irrigation. I have little doubt that forage named,
crops could be made in water-meadows i;t tins The

tons of hay would he a small crop to expert from
a water-meadow, it would not cost five doliarsa

The lands in Georgia yield more now than ev
heretofore—not that they a r c more productiv
but on account of improved processes of cultu
which have beeuintrKluced. In the early soul
meat of the 28tate, ii was tiie custom of fanners
make the most they could out of their lands m tl
shortest possible time, and when they were e
hausted, to abandon them and go further west,
this way, the laud* were soon worn out, and Gen
gia became an old looking Slate before she had j to
attained to her three score years and ten. j D
A more judicious system, however, lias been
adopted within the past fifteen years. Tim lands
thus exhausted and abandon 'd have been bought
up in large quantities by wealthy plainer-,, wm»

cultivating the richer lauds, they devote much of
their alleiitioii to restoring the |iuorcr de»r. iptinn*
—and thus, within the past few years, lauds which
were abandoned as worthies*, have been made in
yitid abundai I crops.
In the^iiieaiilimc,other improvements have been | ting h

aideuce have been put up; churches aud schools
have been multiplied, and the comforts and c«»n*
