RICE CULTURE IN GEORGIA, The Macon Telegraph and Messen ger in a recent issue had an able arti cle on rice, from which we make the following extracts: ‘-The writer, in a recent visit to the coast of Georgia, was glad to perceive that, alive to the fact that rice is now the most remu nerative crop of all others at the South, the people of that region even in the piny woods are very generally directing their attention to the culti vation of this valuable grain. “In Bryan county we saw large fields of it which would yield twenty bushel and upwards per acre. Any spot in the piny woods slightly cow penned products forty bushels p< r acre in ordinary seasons, and it is a fact beyond dispute that it will stand drought better than con: on the same land. When it is remembered that on the uplands this crop escapes all danger from hurricanes and freshets, it is not surprising, in view of the low price of sea island cotten that plant ers near the ciast are beginning to cubstilufe it for the latter. “One successful farmer from Libert) even asserted in the cars of the Gulf road that the ordinary golden rice could be grown with equal f die.it) on high ground. The writer himself lias raised a full crop of corn on what are termed second low lands on the sea board, and fifteen bushels of lice be sides, which was cultivated like peas between the hills. “Rice is the staple food of a larger portion of the human family than any other grain, and its healthful and nutritive qualities are universally ac knowledged. Except in the low country, however, its consumption in Georgia is very limited, and, indeed very few cooks know how- to prepare it for the table. ‘"The gluey, bluish looking si tiff we sometimes see served up in the inte rior and eaten with sugar, would turn the stomach of a seaboard rice plan ter. To cook it to perfection the lice should be carefully washed mid all grass seed or gravel from the barn yard removed, and then, with the proper quantity of salt add< and. brisk ly boiled for about thirty minutes, or until the giains swell and readily mash when pressed between the fin gers. Take the vessel from the fire then, and cover it up closely to steam, and very soon the rice will dry oft'so that every grain seperates when served up. Eaten thus with rich gravy or fresh butter, no article of food is more wholesome or delicious, at least to the deniz<. n of the lowlands. Among the graduates at the State Normal School in Salem, Mass., the other day, was one young lady, standing at the head of the class, who has earned money to pay her expellees during the two years by mailing a sewing machine.

[From the South.] The timber from the pines of Geor gia, an account of its solidity and close texture, is found tube much su perior to any of this deser ption of wood. The soil upon which it is grown is generally a fine, sandy loam, productive after the timber is removed from the land. The face of the coun try is level, so much so that tram roads are built without grading at a com parative small o st of SIOO to $250 per mile, for the purpose of the re moval of timber and turpentine is al most equal to oak -a little less in weight and almost equal in strength. Toe wood commands the highest prices in the Liverpool market. Its durability in o'her climates is well known to be much longer than other woods. The United States Govern ment lias used it in the Northern Stales for the construction of fortifi cations and naval architecture in preference to other woods. This is the general character of the pine in the pine belt upon the Atlantic slope. The pine timber bordering upon the basin of the Mississippi and the west ern waters is much inferior; it par takes s< m wvhat of the s >il upon which it is grown, coarse sand and poor, the timber being coarse and brittle, termed by workers brushy; The wood workers of Louisville quote the prices of Georgia pine timber at $5 to $lO per M higher than the Missis sippi piue. B. OUR BRUNSWICK LETTER. [r;ef,u!a- Oonvfnxiiiflei.eiri fThis Dabjen Gazette.] Bhunswick, Ga., Oct. 4, 1874. Editor Gazette: The dreaming “American Venice” now begins to assume a more business like appearance than she has worn for months. Her wharves are bor d- red with vesst Is from northern and foreign ports, receiving caigots ol lumber, turpentine and rosin-. The merchantß have received their fall stocks and even at this early date ’heir stori s mv ti led with earger pur chasers. Several rew firms have come into existence and a number of improvements are in course of com pletion. A number of new buildings have been finished, others just com menced. The above signs are pleasing evi dences that our “Rip Van Winkle” is recovering from her long embrace of “old Somneus” that the gathering rays of the coining day are penetra ting the depths of “Sleepy Hollow” and have already reached the dull orbs of “old ltip.” Mr. Putnam has recently purchased the i.very stable formerly owned by Mr. Davenport. It is always a pleas ure to note activity, energy, and en terprise, and in the present instance too much cannot be said. Asa thorough business man Mr. P. de serves great credit, and we have rea son to believe that all who patronize his will-known stables cannot fail to be pleased. A number of merchants have re cently put up lamps in front of their places of business; their examples might well be imitated, not only by placing lamps in front of their stores but in front of their residences also. By so doing it would add greatly to the convenience of the night pedes trians, particularly on wet, rainy nights when the si : ewalks are flooded, and on Sunday evenings I am sure the church goers would appreciate such hi.idly acts. The calico ball given by the cliival lic Venetian Knights was a decided success and will long be remembered as one of the gayest of the season. To-morrow (Tuesday) evening the ladies of the Baptist Union will give a supper at t lie residence of Mrs. J. 3. Marlin. Their entertainments are ihvays p easaut, and should the weather be fa r, the parlors of the hospitable hostess will be tilled with a joyous company. In justice to our postmaster we would correct an error made in a for mer communication. Prior to the three issues of the Gazette alluded to, the papers had failed lor several weeks to arrive 1. eforo Saturday eve ning, they havi g been delayed be tween Brunswick and Darien. We believe, as a rule, the postmaster dis tributes the Gazette as soon as it ar rives, ami that when parties fail to receive their paper on Saturday, it is owing to no fault of either the pro prietor or the postmaster. We notice a number now planting' or preparing to jilaut their winter gardens.
