We hear that many planters in this
section, who are becoming tired of manag
ing free negroes, have determined to lease
rut their lands, or biro superintendauts,
while they move to some town where they
may enjoy rest and educate their children.
To all such we v ould recommend Pjwsod

ing and i 1 point of health, schools, society,
cannot be excelled.
A great many have already made arrange-!
ments to move here wo learn, and weshould

clever ci'izcns by the beginning of another

From newspapers and "home-hunters,” j
we can learn that lands in North Georgia
are ruling very high—gay frem S3O, to $lO ,
per acre, while here, in Southwestern Ga , \
in Terrell, Calhoun, If-c, Webster. Stew- 1
art, Sumter, Randolph, and many othor
counties, thousands of acres can be bought
at from $3, to twelve per acre ! N< w we ;
ask, why is this difference ? Is it 1 eeau«r>,
tho up country lat ds are so much better?
Not that: Fur in Southwestern Georgina
planter can make mere more) to the hand
than in North Go rgia. Wc grant that the ;
pine woods lad is comparatively thin, at
least much of iu Rut then it is exceeding
ly produc ive,and ea i'y cultivated. One
bund can with much moro ease to himself
and mule-«ullivate two acres of this laud to
(ne of tbe North Ga. land. With any
thing like a seasonable year, every planter
can make as much here, as he can gath
er.
But says one y@u cannot raise corn in 1
Southwcßtrr i Georgia. This is a great mis- !
take, curs is not ODly a ectten country, but i
adapted to the growth of corn likewise.
Our land will produce from ten io twenty
bushels of corn to the acre. This is a low
estimate, and take the land of North Geor
gia on un average, and it will nit exceed
his a great deal. As to wheat in portion
cf Southwestern Ga., the yield is abundant.
Another objection to the country is “it is
to hot.” Well, we have an experience of
several years of up country life, and sftcr
spending a Lw summersia Southwestern Ga.,
our honest verdict is, that ihe latter is the
moA pleasent country in summer, while
there is no comparison between tbe two in
winter.
Here we are not sLut in by mountains oi l '
every tide to smother in the valleys, lut a
cool conttact breeze is always on hand to,
temper the boat of the sun. Both the cli
mate and water are very plessent.
Anothea mistaken idea among the unioiti- 1
ated is that this is no stock country. For
hogs, sheep and cattle it is fine. We have
no clover, bnt our broad acres are covered
with sweet and tender grass.
An old North Georgia farmer, who Las
been livirg not far frcip Dawson, some year* '
remarked, ir, our hearing a few days since,
that he could raise more hogs here than in
North Ga. If a man wanted to make a
fortune raising stock, this is the country. I
We invite those in search of a home to

let or of tho New York Timrs :
Af loud furnishci rao with tho following
Irscription of the needle gun, which he its
lefts is Lot- superi nr to the aVmirican brcech
loaditß. TLia arm, air ady adopted in the
Piu-sian army, is a cart in; or need! gun,
that is to say a central-firing gun, being
loaded at the breech, cn a system similar
to that of the guns that ore being used by

cartridge is placed in tbc-chamber with the
rapidity which is r. eptired to charge the gun
of Lefaucbcux. and all other pieces in
which the b rrel is discharged or display
ed by a s'mpl-; movement. This barrel re
ceives its Charge, and is restored to is
phico in n few seconds. Tho filing in
place of being determintd by the’ ctn
ploymeitof a cap is in our firearms is
produced by the eontact of a reedle with
the cap, whuh cap is placed in the center
of the car ridge, and the movement of this
needle is prodneiil by the play of a battery
which worbs uj on a s'rong spiral Bpring
placed behind the lock of rho gun. 'The :
needle rut s through the powder, and pushes
against an explosive lr zengc cap or priming
placed between tbe priming and the ball
The firing the n is central, interior, and in
stnntane cb. Tbe powder taking its full
force of cxpaction at a time, the charge
may be lets oot ttiderable ; tbe m ice b iug

portable tiio-a m being light, dors n't fa

briacb, ft'd the priming being attached to
ibo caatridge, the charges may Raor«;d each
other in as rapid succccsion as those fired

than tbe June report. Winter barley is in

Having thra;he thed wheat on seventy

of tho maj .ity of the crops—a row yielding

I find the crrji of corn and cotton, goner
al’y about two tl irds of tbe amount u-ua'y

more than one th : r lof a crop, and with the
pres'nt diougth, it cannot make one tenth
One third for tbe same r p- nn cam >t yield
more than half a or -p ; while the other third

The course of tbe (Lines was tin most ec

oisis among tho ruins in the shape of a gar
den spot, as green and smiling as ever. All
around, overhead, and beneath, the fire fi;nd
had breathed, but yet had not blasted the
smile on the face of .jtortured nature. The
: salvation of the whole nf the saved portion
iof the city, petween IJ tek Cwe and the
