The farmers were busy in Lin | proving their farms, and breaking thei. 1 lands, preparatory for early planting. We j observed that there has been considerable repairing of fences, more than we have seen in several years before. The dusky laborers were engaged, many of them, in Cleaning out fence rows, and burning the rubbish, and for miles along our route, we could sec the evidence of the progress of the labors o J j the year, by the rising of the curling smoke, I which, in connection with the serene sun i j light, and the cerulean sky above us, preJ i sented an azure hue nTound us that was tru- i ly delectable to observe. We also noticed 1 that pome . substantial improvements were | being made by some of the farmers, in the way of erecting new houses, which was indi cative of thrift and prosperity, and taking all things into consideration, we believe the farmers are m better circumstances at this time, than thoy have been since the close of the war. We noticed some peach trees in full b!o-in, by the roadside, and we hope old March will Dot give us a cold snap that will damage the prospects for a good fruit year. We were sorry to learn that Mrs. Carrie Harris, wife of our fellow-citizen, W». H. Karris, died about two weeks since. They had been married just a year, lacking a day.

My course was first directed [toward Gor don, where I spent a brief but pleasant so journ, sharing the hospitality of that whole- souled landlord, Judge D.

Pen Portraits. “Silver Gray” is publishing a serese of ar ticles in the Chronicle & Sentinel upon the “Shining Lights in the Georgia Legislature,” from which we make the following extracts: Hon. J. N. Gilmore, Senator from ths Twentieth District, including Washington, Hancock and Baldwin counties, is one of the youngest men on the floor of the Senate.— He is an active, sprightly, vigorous and pleas ant speaker. It is believed that he has nev er yet made a.fuil exhibit of hfs talents, and by many is considered one ef the “promising’ men of the day. He was quite conspicuous in the recent session of the Legislature sa an earnest and enthusiastic advocate of the measure providing for a Constitutional Con vention. He is a prominent member of the Judiciary Committee, and a valued member of several other committees. Socially he is one of the most affable and pleasant gentle men in all the range of your correspondent’s acquaintance, which, however, Roes not ex tend so far as Lord Chesterfield. Mr. Gil more has been especially devoted to the in terests of his section, and they will again, as they have in the past, be grateful for his services. Hon. P. £. Tajjaixreo, one of the Rep resentatives from Washington, like the great i^ajority of the members of the House, is pe culiarly the representative of his own p&Opla. Leaving general legislation to those whose tastes it suits, he contents himself with look ing to the question which affects the inter ests of his own section. Hon. W. G. McBride, the colleague of Mr. Taliaferro, seldom occupied the floor during the rec1.ntses5.jn, but hejis represented to be a gentleman, of learning and of commanding talents. To serve hie immediate constituents, and to vote correctly and intelligibly on all questions of general importance, seemed to be the extent of his ambition, and such a course will always bear the closest scrutiny. He is a member of the Committee on Public Printing. Hox. J. G. Cain, .Senator from the Eigh teenth District, embracing Richmond, Jeffer son and Glascock counties, was a member of the House of Representatives in the last Leg islature, and his elevation to tkepost of Sen ator from one of the wealthiest districts in the State must be construed as a mark of es teem and confidence on the part of his con stituents. Hr. Cain seldom speaks, but when he does, it is with effect and under standing; and in his best efforts he displays a thorough knowledge of law, and a mastery of the English Language. His sentences are almost faultless, rhetorically and grammati cally, and judging from his maimer of delive ry a stranger might suspect that they were stndied. yet they are always extemporaneous. Mr. Cain is a member of the Judiciary Com mittee, the Committee on Education, and of the Committee on Banks, three of the most important, and he is esteemed a leading member of them all. He is a warm friend of education, and has jealously and zealously opposed every encroachment attempted to oe made on the general educational plan, and the fund devoted to its support Hon. J. Stapleton, Representative from Jefferson county, is one of the most respec ted members of the House. Always moderate and conservative, never extreme in his views on ail subjects, courteous in his deportment, and sociable, he has endeared himself to all who know him. He is a member of the Com mittee on Education, and of the Committee on the Lunatic Asylum, both of which he has served with intelligence and fidelity. He is a gentleman of commanding appearance and agreeable manners. Hon. M. A. Evans, Mr. Stapleton’s col league, though a retiring and unassuming representative, is a gentleman of masked in telligence. He never addressed the House in hearing of the writer, and consequently he is unable to judge of his endowments as a speaker. He is a member of the Commit tee on Internal Improvements, to which is frequently referred some of the most impor tant bills of the Legislature.- He is a mem ber who has a jealous cars for the interests of his constituents, and at the same time has an eye to the prosperity of the State at large. * Hon. R. J. Hioiitower, the Representative from Johnson county, was quite an active member, manifesting much interest in all bills of general importance, and exhibiting a commendable degree of public spirit and j patriotism on all questions looking to tfie j onward progress of Georgia. He is also t membeT of the Committee on Internal Im provements. Letter from Upper Cecrgto. The lamps are lit, the curtains drawn: shut, in thus from the world’s wild rosr, I am re lit view for your to promising, has entirely escaped me; yet perhaps you will be equally as interested in something that occurs to me now. Those of you who have studied geography know that we live in that portion of the New World called The United States. The. particular State .we inhabit is called Georgia, after George the II of England, and is justly nie- named the Empire State. In the lower sec tions the winters are more pleasant than in the higher latitudes; the surface is level and adapted to the culture of cotton, which is the chief staple. In the northern portions are many giant hills and lofty peaks inter spersed with fertile valleys, which afford abundant yields of grain and clover. Among these -hills and across the valleys are many beautiful rivers. This winter has been memorable to the dwellers in the np country for its great fill of rain. Their (railways and bridges have been carried away by the strong currents, their fallow grounds resettled by receding tides, their newly cowed seed conveyed from their places of deposit to the river-banks or the ocean. Last evening we were lulled to sleep by the gentle patter of rain on the roof; this morn ing our lovely home is almost surrounded by ths silvery sheen; presenting as pretty a pan orama os was ever seen. The bright waters, the brown fields and the numerous handsome residences in view, was a feast to the eye; the rushing of the cataract, the whistling of the wind and the shrill signal of the locomo tive mnsic to the ear; and our olfactory’nerves inhaled with pleasure the fresh odor of green cedars and budding flowerets. To one hav ing nothing at stake the association of rain and destruction heightens the sublimity of this beautifol scene, while to one interested it presents rather a gloomy prospect. Still: “God does all things rightly; Ml are best, Sorrow, or joy, or power, or suffering.” Finding my letter to you, dear little friends, still unmailed, I add a postscript, giving yon a glimpse of life with me- The mighty king of day rests upon toe western hill-tops, toe river naar is resplen dent with his departing glory. A sweet four year older, tiring of the magnificence around him, reclines upon my lap and whispers ‘me seepy. Tell me some sing funny.’ I begin relating why tjie kind Fairy give little Coe Blessing- all those beautiful presents, pre cious and rare. Hardly had I reached the place that says, because she was good and kind,before his eyelids closed; his little mind was far out in dreamland “The fate of many a gracious moral This, to be stranded on a dreamy ear. ” Panola.

Prior to taking the oath of office, the resident elect delivered the following Editor El a/J - Your correspondent “H,” from Dublin inquires why land laid off in diamond shaped figures will accommodate a greater number of hills of com, and give a larger yield, than laid off in rectangles or squares ? If land be laid off four feet each way, one hill will be just four feet from four other hills. If it be laid off in the same manner, but the hills in every alternate row be plan ted midway between the checks, then, since- the hypothenuse is the lognest side of a tri angle, each hill will be A472 (nearly 4J) feet from any hill except two in its «wn row, which will be four feet distant. If you lay off rows four feot apart, cross with rows 3.4G4 (nearly 3J) feet apart, and plant the hills of every alternate row midway between the checks, then each hill will be j ust four leet from six other hills. I am not sure that land, in diamonds would “accommodate a greater number of hills, or give a greater yield” than in squares or rec tangles. The latter would give nearer neigh bors; the former more of them.

B. Poumelle, died at his father’s residence in this city, of mer.’ngitis. Johnnie was about fourteen years of age, and was a remarkably bright and promising youth. In his olasses at school he always stood high, and was a favorite with teachers and pupils alike. We have noticed him several times at examinations at the Bich- mond Academy, and have keen surprised at the proficiency exhibited by one so young. W'o extend our sympathies to his parents in their bereavement. Toe Good Old Tinea Coming Again. An intelligent Paris correspondent of the New York Tribune intimates that the fashions of the lost century will be revived and repro duced this spring. “There will be skirts as narrow and tight as a lady can inconveniently walk in, pyrami dal coiffure j, huge buttons, high pointed heels, hair arranged in toe highest possible style, bonnets yet higher, all without crino line, without fonrnoure, without panier.” We read that the state robes of royalty, the conrt dresses of maids of honor, and the wardrobe generally of the high-born damsels of the old world, are heir looms which de scend from generation to generation. And even in modem America some of us have pre served reverentially the wedding habits of onr mothers, which, with a little sunning and airing, would serve their daughters and grand daughters famously. The writer has in his mind’s eye a certain quaint “frock,” of heavy figured white -silk brocade, still extant, though a half century old. The waist is as short as that of an in fant, wit t skirts without a gather, fitting tight like a pillow case, and huge leg of mutton sleeves. High heeled white satin slippers formed a fitting accompaniment Imagine our young ladies when the dowers come, thus attired, and repeating the conquests once achieved by their grand mothers. But we are told such will be the fia of fashion, and there is this consolation, that once more we shall see the human form divine of woman, in all its exquisite symmetry without toe absurd make-up of latter days. And girls, the change will quadruple your chances for matrimony. Young men now-a- days, shipwrecked in fortune by the war, are forced to lead lives of celibacy, because they cannot afford to marry. Not many moons ago we saw a modem belle at a wedding with a hundred yards of costly drapery floating like a gossamer fabric about her. When she moved rippling wavelets of muslin followed many yards in her wake, and jewelB and diamonds flashed their light from her beaute ous person. Young men with strong arms and gallant hearts sighed wistfully, feeling that their narrow purses could never support such style. But now all will be changed. Six yards will be an abundant pattern for a lady’s dress, and the noble-fellows who have evinced so much self denial,’may now tender their hom age to the gentle creatures without whose companionship life is hut a dreary desert without one redeeming oasis.

The first outside skirt is made of gold cloth; over the front of this are extended threads of pearls, so as to form squares; in the centre of each is a diffemet flower made of imita tion jewels.

Fkllow Citxzrnb : Under Providence, I ' ave been called a second time to net as Ex- jntive over this great nation. It has been 1 iy endeavour in the past to maintain all the - iwg, and, so far as lay in my power, to act ,r the best interests of the whole people. My est efforts will be given in the same direc- ion in toe future, aided, I trust, by my four ears’ experience in the office. When'my first term of the office of Chief Executive began, toe country had not re- overed from the effects of a great internal evolution, and three of the former States of he Union had not been restored to their 'ederal relations. It seemed to me that no lew questions should be raised so long as 1 hat condition of affairs existed. Therefore fie past four years, so far as I could control vents, have been consumed in the effort to estore harmony, public credit, commerce nd all the arts of peace and progress. It is my firm conviction that the civilized vorld is tending towards republicanism or .ovemmeut by the people, through their hosen representatives, and that our own .Teat Republic is destined to be the guiding tar to all others. Under our Republic we ’ nppert an army less than that of any Europe- n power of any standing, and a navy less han that of either pf at least five of them. There could be no extension of territory on .his continent which wo'uld call for an in crease of this force, but rather might such extension enable us to diminish it The theory of government changes with general progress. ^ Now that the .telegraph is made available'for communicating thought together with rapid transit by steam, all parts ol a continent are made continuous for all purposes of government, and communica tion between the extreme limits of the coon- try made easier than it was throughout toe old thirteen States at toe beginning of onr national existence. The effect of the late civil strife baa been to .kee the slave aad make him a citizen, yet he -S not possessed of the civil rights which cit- zen ship should carry with it This is wrong end should be corrected. To this correction I stand committed, so far as Executive influ ence can avaiL Social equality is not a sub ject to be legislated upon, nor shall I ask that anything be done to advance toe social status of the colored man, except to give him a fair chance to develope what there is good in him—give him, access to schools and when he travels let him feel assured that his conduct will regulate the treatment and fare he will receive. The States lately at war with toe general Government are now moat happily re Habili tated, and no Executive eontrol is exercised in any one of them that would not be exer cised in any other State under like circum stances. In toe first year of the past administration the proposition came np for the admission of San Domingo as a territory of the United States. It was not a question of my seeking but was a proposition from the people of San Domingo, and which I entertained. I believe now, as I did then, that it was to toe interests of this country for toe people of San Domingo and all concerned that toe proposition should be/eeeived friendly. It was, however rejected, constitutionally, and therefore, the subject was never brought up again by me. In future, while I hold my present office the subject ol the acquisition of territory must have the support of ths people before I will recommend any propo sition looking to such acquisition. I say here, however, that I do not share in the apprehension held by many as to toe danger of the Government’s becoming weak ened and destroyed by reason of their exten sion of territory. Commerce, education and rapid transit of thought and matter by tele graph and steam hare changed all this. Bather do t believe that our Great Maker is preparing the world, in His own good time, to become one nation—speaking one lan guage and when armies and navies will be no longer required. My efforts in the future will be directed to the restoration of good feeling between the different sections of our common country— to the restoration of our currency to a fixed value, as compared with the world’s stand ard of values—gold—and if possible, to a par with it—to the construction of oheap routes of transit throughout the land, to toe end that toe proceeds of all sections may find a market and leave a living remuneration to the producer—to the maintainance of friend ly relations with alljour neighbors and with distant nations—to toe re-establishment of onr commerce and share in the carrying trade upon the ocean—to the encouragement of such manufacturing industries as can be economically pursued in this country—to the end that exports of home products and industries may pay for our imports—the on ly sure method of rotnming to and perma nently maintaining a specie basis—to the elevation o: labor, and by a humane course, to bring toe.aboriginecs of toe country under the benign influences of -an education and civilization. I beg your support and encouragement It has been and is my earnest desire to correct abuses that have grown np in the civil ser vice of the eountry. To secure this reforma tion, rules regulating methods of appoint ment and promotion were established^ and have been tried. My efforts for such infor mation shall be continued to ths best of my judgment The spirit of the rules adopted will be maintained. I acknowledge before this assemblage, re presenting as it doss every section of onr country, the obligation I am under to my countrymen for the great honor they have conferred on me, by returning me to the high est office within their gift, and the farther obligation resting on me to render to them the best services within my power. It is either this, or war of extermination. Wara of extermination engaged in by people pursuing commerce and all industrial pur suits are expensive even against ths weakest people, and are demoralizing and wished. Our superiority of strength and advantages of civilization should make us lenient to wards the Indian. The wrong already in flicted upon him should be taken into ac count and the balance placed to his credit. The moral view of the question should be considered and the question be asked, not toe Indian be made a useful and produc tive member of society, by proper teaching and treatment? If toe effort is made in good faith, we will stand better, before toe civilized nations of toe earth, and in our own consciences for having made it.

He had lately removed to the city and had not been engaged in any active bus iness. He was about fifty-nine years of age, and was the father of several children who are left to mourn his loss.

Died, on thel4to, of February; 1873, Mas. Cabounb Harris, wife of Wm. H. Harris, of Washington Co., in the twenty seventh year of her age. Only about one year ago she stepped forth upon the hymeneal altar, took the sacred vows of love, and was toe happy bride of a fond husband. One year from thence the king of terrors entered toe house hold, and blasted their happiness here, by his ruthless, icy touch, and toe sleeps now in the cold clay. She left a tender little babe two weeks old. May toe little innocent re ceive the kindest blessings of an Almighty Providence. The bereaved husband has the sincere sympathy of the writer. May he be comforted in his bereavement by the sweet solace of hope, that they may be united again in a better world, beyond the reach of time, chance, and change. L.
