The Macon 'Telegraph baptizes Houston as the Banner County of the State, in the following manner: “ Several friends have written to us to publish the name oi the Banner Democratic County. We will do so, and it will surprise many, as it was, perhaps, the last one in Georgia that was expected to vote the Democratic ticket. The “county that wears that honor is GLORIOUS OLD HOUSTON ! The county registry showed a col ored majority of tweuty-t wo hundred. Hhe gave Gordon, the Democratic can didate for Governor, 324 majority, and elected the entire Democratic county ticket by about the same majority, to gether with a Congressman and Sena tor ! Where is the county that will dispute her title All h'Mior to the “Banner County !” How comes it that the colored men ol that good old county repelled the in iluences of the Loyal League, and nobly stood by their old masters ? Suiely what was done in Houston might as well have been done in every »":»ei agrioulturalcotinty in the State, treed as thpv were from the pernicious influence* exercised over the negro in t!,c larger cities !

Atlanta, > F. M. Eddleman, Ga. ) 1. C. Brown.. Crops of Southwest Ceoitio. A traveling agent of the Jburnal tip Messenger, who has just returned from Southwest Georgia,, makes the follow ing report in regard 1 to the crops and the general condition of the planters and the country. He traveled on horseback through Bibb, Crawford, Houston, Taylor, Macon, TaLbot, Sfim ter, Lee, Calhoun, Quitmsu*., Clay, Dougherty, Early, Miller, Temll, and Randolph, sixteen counties La all, ob. serving the fields as he rode along the road, stopping at farm houses, and talking freely with all he met. In the first place, lie says that from one-third to one-fourth less cotton has been planted this year than fast ; and that instead of devotip/r all their at tention to me raising of cotton, the planters have sown an abundance of wheat, corn, oats, rye, barley, peas, potatoes, etc., to do them. Fine stands of cotton and the cereal crop have everywhere been obtained, and they are looking well in every direction, al though in some places a little backward in comparison with other years past. The planters have almost universal* ly abandoned the custom ot planting little else than cotton, and are now raising enough grain to do them. But in meat they are almost wholly defi cient. The freedmen have universally clandestinely killed 'off the stock of hogs, leaving in many neighborhoods not even one. He saw owe plakmc with sixty head left eat of a stock of one hundred and fifty. He had a guard over them night and day, and in spite of this precaution, the number was di minishing. Owing to this state of affairs, the landlords have abandoned all efforts to raise meat, telling the colored people that they esn stand it ?s fang they can. Stringent legisla tion and a rigorous enforcement of the laws in regard to this matter are de manded. Negro men, says the Agent, are working well, on but one place did he see negro women at work. They do nothing but loiter around their cab* ius engaged at such light work ae they chooae to do. The two race* ere universally upon good tenet with mh other. The most piadigieu* efforts have bee* wads by Radical emissaries to engraft the colored people oat to their party, bit! their effort*have failed. The whit* people will for all future time hr able to exercise an almoet ab solute controlling influence over the negro in his political opinion*. Tit* negro will quickly learn that the inter* ests of both are indcntical. ll*’ speaks in glowing term# of th* prospects of Dainbrige. The comple tion of the railroad from thence to Sa vannah has given anew impetus to the growth of the town. The cottoa crop along the Chattahoochee, north of Go. lurnbus, and North Flint, nog goes down that and up Flint river *ud down North Flint to Bainbriilge, and from thence to Savannah, instead of going down those rivers to Apalachicola and over the Mooeogoe road.
