Ou this land you can almost invariably get two marketable pieces of timber per acre, and then the land is, though unbeliev- cd by many—valuable for family pur poses, the average yield per acre being, (by the application of 200 lbs fertili zers) of cotton in seed is from 800 to 1000 lbs per aero, (some as much 2500 lbs) which, when properly ginned into lint will make from 250 to 350 lbs. This section of Georgia is also well adapted to the raising of corn, oats, .rice, sugar owe and. potato^,, the two latter of which grow to perfection. OF THE WIRE GRASS. This portion of the natural growth is neither cut nor mown in any man ner, it being worthless after maturity —which is about the latter part of August in each year, then until the month of March it is untouched by al most anything, only as stock remove the same in order that they may cap ture the tender herbs under it. In Match, this grass is fired in many parts, I might say throughout the en tire country, and hums with great rapidity, making lines of fire in al most every direction as far as the eye can -see, but, in April following the grass in this country, begins its growth again', making a scene, using the words of the celebrated Gen. j in the “ Horse Jordan” case “ one of the lovliest scenes (country) that the hu man eye ever beheld,” it Wing, at from this season to the first days of June, a land of sol'd' green, “ where ndik and honey flows.” (A great country for butter milk and butter. O, my! how delightful it would be to have this season in a country like this during a “ life time,” for as for health this part is surpassed by none, not even the mountains.

There are but few lawyers—though they make some money by their pro fession, and hut very few physiesans, who pretend to practice, and, as a gen eral thing, they are in adverse circum stances, the country being so distress ingly healthy. I can but say God bless the Wire Grass and its people. Moke Anon. COL’RIER-JOLRNALISH. The Springfield Republican declares that “ the sewing-machine ring has pooled nearly half a million of dollars to carry through a renewal of its pat ents.” Unless there should be an unexpected rise in the price of Con gressmen, we should think that sum will be amply sufficient for the pur pose. The Springfield Republican thinks that Senator Harlan’s soul is just ct present in some joepardy. But it isn’t- If All men’s souls were as worthless as Harlan’s, the devil would convert liis establishment into a brass foundry and quit the deinnition business entirely. The Washington Chronicle say that “ In the Crdit Mobilier investigation there was more cry than wool.” Per haps so; but if that investigation had produced half as much wool as white wash, the price of woolen goods would have declined at least two hundred per cent, already. The New York Commercial Adver- Vuser says : “ Interesting rumers are in circulation touching the charming song- strees, Mme. Nilsson-Rouzand.” Ah indeed! And do they think it will be a boy or a girl ? Pomroys Democrat says: Everybody complains of hard times’ —everybody but office-holders and bondholders. • ; Y , Farmers are hard tip! Merchants are hard up! Workingmen are hard up! What shall be done that the people may get relief from oppression ? Keep iu office a horde of thieves and plunderers who have spent years in stealing from the people, through the Go annually to the polls, and vote for r pr« smtatives who enact outrageous tariff laws to swindle the laboring, the consuming classes of (he country, and to still more enrich the already wealthy and aristocratic manufacturers. Howl down honest men as disloyal, and boost up the scoundrels who.steal under the cloak of patriotism. Vote for Congress who are in favor of class legislation that exempts the bondholder from taxation and all the burdens of government, while it more than ever loads the labor of the laud. Hurrah fora President whoconnives with Wall street thieves, to plunder the people though speculations both disgraceful and dishonest. Continue to elect a man to the Chief Magistracy under whose administration millions of dollars have tieeu lost by the defalcation of his officials, and who pardons these defaulters as fast as they can be caught and convicted. Elect men to your State Legisla tures who make it a business to sell themselves to' the first capitalist along with money enough to pay for them.

The style of merchandising in this section is different to that in many other parts, as nearly'all merchants have in connection with their other business a Bar at one end of their store, where they retail all kinds of liquors. THE PLANTERS generally plant no more than 20 acres Doing a Peddling Female.—We had a visit from a book-peddling fe male last week. She was alone in this world and had no one to whom she could turn for sympathy or assistance, hence we should buy her book. She was unmarried and had no manly heart iu which she could pour her suf ferings, therefore we ought to invest in her book. She had received a liberal education and could talk French like a native; we could not in consequence refuse to' pay two dollars for a book. We had listened attentively, and here broke in with, “What did you say? We’re deaf.” She started in a loud voice and went through with her rig marole. When she. had finished we went a got a roll of paper nnd mnde it into a speaking trumpet, placed one end iu our ear and told her to proceed. She nearly burst a blood vessel in her effort to make herself heard. She com menced : “I am all alonein this world.” “It doesn’t make the slightest differ ence to us though. Weare not alone; in fact we are husband and a father. Al- thia is uot leap year, bigamy is not al lowed in this State. Weare n6t eligi ble to proposals.” Oh, what a fool this man is!” she said iu a low tone; then at the top of her voice, “I don’t wnn’t to marry you. I want to sell a b-o-o-k!” This last sentence was howled. “We don’t want a cook,” we blandly replied; “our wife does the cooking, and she wouldn’t allow as good looking a woman as you are to stay in the house five minutes. She is -very jeal ous.” She looked at us in despair. Gath ering her robes about her, giving us a glance of contempt, and exclaiming, “I do believe ifa three hundred pound er was let off alongside that blamed old the non-producing, wealthy hundreds may live—it is robbing a thousand farmers’ wives of their calico dresses that the wife ofone bondholder may array herself in silk; it is robbing the poor farmer boy of comfortable cloth ing that the son of the man of money may dress in purple aud fine linen. The sou of the farmer is just as dear to him, just as much loved and of far more service to the State than the son of the bondholder. In the days of Democratic-adininis- tions it was the rule to enact laws that would do the most’good to the greatest number; in these days of Republican misrule, it is the custom to make laws for the benefit ofa favored few of llje pets of the Administration, who are ex empted from taxation and who grow wealthy at the expense of the people— richer as the people grow poorer! Hard times ! How could we except anything else but hard times. An aristocracy of money is growing up in this country tinder the fostering care of the Repub lican party that will lie worse than any thing ol its kind in Europe, if permit ted to go on. Already the Federal Government is completly in the power of this aristocracy, and if its outrages and enoroachraents are submitted to, it will not stop until it has reduced the people to servitude nnd tenantage. It is possible to remedy these evils, and avert the danger now—in a little while it may be too late! liis case forever, and lay dead in the bed. His wife lay there with, him, and two of the three children, and also j another that first looked upon the world almost at the instant the father had closed his eyes upon it. 8©“ It is said that all the professions are now represented in the Georgia Penitentiary except Congressmen. The State ought to import a few Credit Mobilier Congressmen from New Eng land and break down such a disgraceful exception. * GMFFETH & CRANE BEG LEAVE TO ANNOUNCE TO THEIR CUSTOMERS THAT THEY ARE READY TO SERVE THEM AGAIN WITH THE LARGES1 STOCK OF Staple Dry Goods,Boots, Shoes Hats and Groceries THAT WE HAVE EVER OFFERED.

When she was gone we indulged in a demoniac laugh. She isn’t likely to try to sell us a book any for each ploughman and have no hoe more. The “Great Eastern Circus seems to be roaming over the conti nent seeking whom it may destroy. The Nashville Repulican says it nearly killed a couple of its'acrobats while in that city, and while the slaughter was going on inside the canvas, a pious Christian on the outside was crushing the skull of a fellow-mortal with a brick-bat. At Louisville the tent- pole fell and killed one and wounded several others. Subsequently, while its “grand pageaiit” was traversing the streets of the of the same city, one of the teams ran away, killing the driver, also running over a small boy and kill ing him, and dislocating the shoulder of an old man. The-Republican ex presses the pious hope that it won’t go to Washington and kill an ex-Congress- man, before he has had time to collect the extra back pay be voted himselfa the last session. *@“ There is said to be a woman in this State, who, although but thirty- two years of age, has three grand children.-. Give that woman another running start, and there’s no telling what she wjl accomplish by. the time she is fifty. Insurrection in Russia.—Impor tant new- comes to us from Russia. It is stated that a formidable insurrec tion hWbroken out among the peas ants of Volhynia and Poddlia—two provinces of Russian Poland—and that the insurrectionists defeated a Russian force sent to suppress them, and are committing frightful atrocities. Vol- hynia-is oue ot the most valuable agri cultural provinces of Russia, having an area of about 27,000 square miles; while Podolia, with an area of about 16,000 square smiles, is equally rich the inhabitants of that locality devoting much of their time to cattle raising. If the story he true that the insurgents are murdering their opponents, and plundering and burning property in all directions, it is evidently the out cropping of that bitter hostility of a conquered * to their despoilers, which dong years of apparently peaceful submission have failed to up root. the eternal law that where guilt is, sorrow shall answer it; and governments, who, in their lust for poffer; tranfpie: on right and justice, are no tnoro exempt than individuals ALARGE AND WELL SELECTED STOCK OF HARDWARE,, CUTLERY, STOVES and TIN-WARE.
