Friend of the Echo. Panoil Sketches of
Pleasant Memories of a Visit to Them.
Dear Echo :—1 have thought over
my half way promise to write up the two
grandest sights in dear old Georgia—our
"fader-land ... , , ,,, -a i long time, ,, but, my com
age ever failed me. I will not enter in
to a geographical discretion, (or that
has been donejk> • many times before, but
only . give a dot , or . two here , and i there,
that will uuu somewhat to my own ao
count. Iain afraid, too, Unit 1 will not
be able to do half justice to these natural
wonders, Tallulah and Toeeoa Falla.
Those who enjoyed and revelled in the
enjoyment of these beautiful places can
fully concur with mo in their grandeur
and beauty, and a little word in this
space to those , who , . have never seen them. .
I will state that it wid fully repay any
inconvenience one may find in Ins or iier

and learned that it would be rebuilt soon.
This route led us into the shortest and
ea-iest descent to the grand iallulah,

drawing on my will power lor a Hiillicient

timidity formed a good part of the steep*

them court is unpleasant.
Al.l. during the year have wo referred
to this as a debt paying fall, and it is'
gratifying to see our predictions, to A

we have been running the Echo.
Everybody marks the small intcresf
taken by Cuflee in our courts as compar¬
ed. to soon after freedom. It is not
strange to us. Then it was a new thing
to him, but it has grown old now, be¬
cause moat of them have been forced to
take a very close interest in some one of
the courts since emancipation.
Scientists tell us the earth is undef
going daily change 1 !. It may be’ that
this part of it has undergone some great
change that lias brought upon us the wet
and dry seasons of the more Southern
lamia instead of our former winter and

the fact that there is less of tho vile stuff

rate at 100 pef cent. Wo have watched

if there bus been a single yield escaped of thd
soil rated at those figures, it our

up a new basis of an average ?
