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 si a tuifable ) lice. Tt is rapidly improv 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 Ike to see many of tbc beautiful building lots, mw on sale, improved and settled by clever ci'izcns by the beginning of another ywr- Smith Western Cieorgla. 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 eo xtK and examine this country. This is anew oountry, rapidly improving Here you can get homes cheap where soci ety is good and where money can be made, and where yon can have good health and grow fat. I‘rt'puriiiß for War.

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 .tur gnat ametours of tie cha o The 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.

In one street there is an oisis among tho ruins in the shape of a gar den spot, as green and smiling as ever.

The : salvation of the whole nf the saved portion iof the city, petween IJ tek Cwe and the southernly side of Oxfort Street, which was 1 burned is due more to the single fact of the beautiful eltns which lined raid street than jto any other. Hundreds of men was sta -1 tinned here with buckets of water, keeping the buildings constantly wet, but they ae koowlege tint their efforts would have b;cn in vain had it not been for tho powerful aid lof the trees in resisting tbc progress of the fire.
