After tho location, survey and di vision Into lota of the city of Alhquy, it remained without much improve ment for a number of year*, owing in agreat measure, to tho mall faril- itie*. roada and the sparse population of the country immediately surround ing it. At that time, and I believe up to 1841, the great through mail front North to South, from Macon to Tal- lehassee, in Florida, was carried on the Alligator Stage Line, passing through Pinderfdifai then a portion of I*e county, on tho east side pf the Flint river, about two or three miles team Albany. The nearest postotftec was Pindcrtown, some eighteen miles off. In 1841 the Hon. Lott Warren, then a member of Congress from this portion of the State, gjt the Stage line changed to this, the west side of the river, running through Albany*to Newton, thence.across thp riveBdown to Bainbridge. ' !f * In 1841 a weekly-nowspaper,:eallc:l the South Western Georgian, was es tablished in the city. Tho first num- bor was issued on the 25th of May of- that year. This, the first paper printed in Albany, was neutral iu politics, aud devoted to agriculture, literature aud tbe intercats of thf# section of the country. It did much to remove the false opinions and strong prejudices of the people in the older section* of the, State,'jn^egard to the diseases and health of South western Georgia, which Was then: anil perhaps Is now, by some of the more ignorant regarded as a graveyard.— With tbe increase of the population in Lee, Baker and adjoining counties. Albany commenced to improve, and soon became the entrepot of ail the; trade and productions of a wide range of Surrounding country. Mr. John Jackson, one of t[ie pres ent venerated city fathers,’ ratne herc’ and built his storehouse on tho lot on Broad street, now ‘ occupied by 8. Mayer & Glauber, in 1833. He im mediately built aud put on the rivet- several barges, which, with boles ahll: flat boats, and an occasional steam boat, carried all the cotton down to Apalachicola, and brought grpoene-- aml some other goods back. The dry getods were mostly hhuledby wagons from Macon. ' ' The Baptists organized ^ church in the city in 1839, pnd the” Mcihodist* in 1841. In 1840 -an academy was built by subscription, which waa used us a place of holding justice courts on Saturdays, on Sundays for ■ preach ing ; and occupied on other days by the schoolmaster and his noisy hoys and girls, deep in the sublime myste ries of their A. B. Cs. The first two-story brick *tore was built by Messrs. Randall & Grant. op the corner of Broad and Washington streets, now known as Ijaweon's Oor r ner. In this way commenced the little pine forest city on tbe banks of 'thfe Thronateeska, the Indian name for Flint river. At that time it was a bright, pellucid stream which, until a few years before, ran unruffled to the Gulf, and bad never been disturbed by any oar save the paddle of ibe light Indian canoe, in pursuit of fish or game. The dense pine forest which lined its banks on cither side, had echoed no human voice in word or song, save that of the half civil ized Indian hunter, and the ruff note* of the untutored mother as she chim ed her wild lullaby to her dusky off spring. The war of 1836 terminated the period ol the poor Indians’ resi dence in Southern Georgia and Ala bama, and sent him to the wilds of Arkansas. The restless foot of the white man, eager in bis thirst - f. gain, now tread on the fresh ashes of the late Indian camp fire, and. occq- f ed the deserted fields wheru the In an village once *tood. - f (.To b* Continued.] ’ . , T , The Atlanta Constitution deprecate* tny further disturbance of the North Polq by exploration or speculation--^ It begs that it be let alone; as some thing has already broke loose in.thnt quarter by intermeddling.

J Kditokk News:—Just at .thia. time, when farmers are milking prepara tions—laying their plaits^ and setting their crops, it may not be out of place to say a word in reference to tbe pro vision crop, and especially the meat crop. If farmers have to pay for the nec essary supplies to make a cotton crop out or lhe,prpcc*ds of the crop, then it is tiimply .* imposai&lai lor 'tlitsin to make any money raising cotton at the low price which lias rilled for the lust four mouth*, and there Is very little prospect ol' its being higher. A farmer may make a small profit raising cotton, even at the very low price for which it ha- been sold- Ibis, suoon. provided he raises all tin' sup plies ojvjhc farjii^ .vyhjiji ( by: poiild otherwise have, to buy.

The tide-of immigration ould soon be flowing to the South. Our unoccupied lands would soon be settled by an honest aud industrious imputation. Tho. cotton States, the and of so litany natural resources o.t wealth, the land of fertility and genial climate, made unattractive by reason of the everlasting drain upon her re sources, to supply that which ought to he supplied at home, would then bloom as the rose. The South then would cease to be a factor in bnilding up other sections of the country, but would become the factor in building up her own section.
