Good news concerning crops ami blackberries come to us from along ‘he line of the B. & A. Railroad. The prospect for every kind of crop is tin* very best, and ju*t now the black berries are as abundant as mosquitoes iu Florida. The (Quitman Heporter places the average yield of the wheat crop of that section, the present season, at fifteen bushels per acre—nearly dou ble the average of the same cereal in New York State. Good for piney woods Georgia. Mr. II. M. Johnston.has resigned lii* positiou on the Valdosta Times, and accepted an otter on a (Yockett, lex as, paper.

Judge Tillman proposes to form a joint stork company for the purpose of increa-ing the capital stock of the Brook- County Manufacturing Asso ciation to such an amount a* will he -iitlicient to convert from three lo live hundred bushels of eotton seed, daily into oil and oilcake. The Judge mean* earnest, and he invite* corres pondence on the subject from men of capital. There is no doubt but that kind of manufacturing pays a heavy per cent. The Directors of the Southwest Georgia ludu-trial Association have decided to hold a live days’ Fair in the Fall, commencing on Tuesday, October 22d. The premium list will be published at an early day. Now, let the enterprising farmers of Early commence preparing to take some premium* on that occasion. Nothing but an inexcusable indifference can prevent tbem from so doing. Nt» county in Southwest Georgia can claim any advantage over Early in fertility in of soil—Blakely yews. The Dawson Journal, under head ing “Weather and Crops,” says* “Without going into details, we are pleased to state that the crop prospect throughout the county was never more encouraging. The grain crops have been very large, all of which has been saved in good condition.— The cotton, without exception, looks finely, clean and with good stands.— The coni look-large, line and healthy, and with continued rains the corn crop x\ ill he immense. The planters ; all seem x'erv cheerful and hopeful* and are looking forward to bounte ous barve-.ls.” Gnilm:iii, Albany and several other point** are each claiming the credit of •eiiig the bent wool market in South rn Georgia, blit xve notire none of them quote as high prices ns have been-paid in Ibis city.

Pretty lace pins iu the shape of four leaves with numerous chains of small siver heads and halls. And all the girls are preparing their best “flxings*’ for the examination exercises of both schools.

Magnolia Springs, June 13, 78 Messrs Editors: Strange asthean- iioiinccincnt may seem, although I came here entirely for my health, I am living a busy, active life. I go after blackberries every morning after breakfast—get full of red-bugs, and from then on, 1 am industriously and zealously engaged ill scratching* A billiard-player never “scratched” like I do; the t rut Ii is, the children have got to calling me “Old Scratch.” Although our summering visitors are yet few, xve are surrounded Ijy a rather densely populated neighbor hood of the very best society, and consequently are iu iio danger of en nui, lassitude or loneliness.

The principle mineral properties of this water are said to he iron, sulphur and magne-ia. It seems to me that the excellent water, the •rood climate and the healthful atmos phere at this place are inducements enough for even those invalids who are not aware of the society they xvill find when they get here. The fruit crop in this section xva* never more promising. Plums have come in great profusion and nearly gone ; apple* and tigs are getting ripe, and the tirst erop ot pearlies xvill he •non.

We cannot leant from the Albany News, which i* our authority in these utters, xvlial amount of money has been expended on the grounds. The main building—a txvo ‘torv edifice— i*ii*t $:\7tN>. During the late Fair,the Attendance on (lie grounds xvas about 2,fiiNI each day.

The Sec tary c timatc.s a net profit on the Fair of $1,200; xvliich xvill he applied io paying oil* balance due on Main Building, Race Track, etc. The As- iatiou owes x'ery little.” When we take into consideration Ihe fact that less than twelve mouths hi enterprise found a begin ning, its success is xvomlcrful.” ••This xva?t only a Spring Fair, when the country people were most busily engaged on their farms.” “Tin* attendance from surrounding countic , toxvns and cities was most especially gratifying. Baker, Worth, Mitchell, L’alhoiiu,' Berrien, Lee and Terrell came forward handsomely, xvbilc Macon, Thomusville, Americiis, Dawson, Cuthbert, Quitman, and oth er toxvns sent good delegations; and manifested deep concern in the siic- ces- of the Association.” We can littx'e ju*t as good a fair in LaGrange a* the one in Albany, if the people will make the same effort.

We - houhl lake pains to make our fair *m'h a one a* xvill attract people from a dhtaiicc as xvell a* from the imme diate neighborhood.” If our brother of the ISeparter had noticed our issue of the 23rd lilt., he would have seen xv hat money has been expended on tin* grounds.

A gentleman of Plainfield, New Jersey, Mr. J. M. Stigcr, under date of March 1G, lo Ihe Albany News, aavs: If you know anything concerning the pine lands along the lines of the A. & G. and B. & A. Railroads, idea** give me some information. Cun I purchase a number of lots near the Road? If so, at xvhat price per lot ? If I could get about SO lots, xvilli per fect titles, at a loxv price, 1 should like to have such a tract fora colon). I am pleased with that section of the South, and xvould he glad to have full information concerning it. This extract alfords food for reflec tion by the people of Randolph and adjoining counties. Here xve have lurgc bodies of pine lauds, hammock lauds, oak and hickory lands, much of which is in tin* virgin state and pgodtletive, xvliilc health, society and the advantages of any section are found here. Population gives xveallh and prosperity to any section, polili- ti 1 power ami prominence in councils of.State. If xve xvould improve our own condition let ii otter induce ments to honest capital audiudti*trioii* labor to come among u*. till the thous and idle acres of land, revive mechan ical industries and lend a nexv hum to the manufacturing machinery ot the xvhole land. This is xvhat is being done in the lower counties and xve wish them God speed, and it i* only xvhat can In- done here xvitliauy effort at all. There are many planters : n this county and section xvlio have broad acre* 3 that they are unable to cultix’ate, paying taxes on the same year after year.— Would it not he a xvi*e Irokc of pol icy, individually and collectively, !•» lispo e ol the e land - to iniiiiigrain settlers at a price that xvill induce them to come among ii*. rather than hold them until taxe* and interest hi ihe investment bring them under the hcrifTs hammer. Upon tin* same line of thought, xve have to-day iu Fiithbcrt a splendid t ’otton Factory building xvliich now stand* idle for the want of workers. Had that building been void at the time the machinery xvas removed for its value now, machinery xvould l»c heard in those spacious hall* to-day. We honestly believe that if the prop er inducement xvas offered now, man ufacturing capital of the North would oine here and put that factory in op- ration. It* sale would benefit pre*- iiI owners by bringing dead capital lo life, and its operation xvould aid every interest by bringing money among us.— True Southron. Mr. Stephens’ l>ettanee. Our Washington dispntchc* give the substance of a letter from Hon. A. II. Stephen* to the Democratic Exec utive Uoinmittec of the Eighth Dis trict, xvliich may he regarded a a de fiance to the Democracy of that dis trict. As Mr. Stephen- has declared his determination to di regard the decision* of the Democratic Congres sional caucii-. and a* lie votes a> often with the Radical* a* with the Demo crats on party question-, it is ot course very little matter to him hv which party he is nominated or elect ed. After hi* recent action con i t- ciit only xvilli hi*, previous inconsist ency, and hi* letter of defiance and threat to the Democracy of the Eighth district, it xvould seem hardly po-.-i- ble that a proper regard for the prin- ples of the party and a decent - elf re- *pect would permit them to place him again in nomination a their repre sentative. The ‘con eqnence*' xvliich he threateningly alludes the xvorst could sea rely be more dam* aging Ilian the betrayal of Denim rat io principles, xvliich bis nomination under existing circumstance- xvould imply. Mr. Stephens ha* thrown doxvn the gauge of defiance to the Democracy of the Eighth di- trict. It is difficult to see how they can de cline the issue. B. A A. Railroad. The following extract i » from the traveling (correspondent of the Sa vannah News, “Jack Plane:” There is a mistake indulged in by the marts of the people of Georgia iu reference to the character and condi tion of the Brunswick A* Alban.
