Sow Small Grain.
Tlio Reason in fust approaching for putting
down the groin crops. Thin in a more impor
tant feature in our agricultural economy than it
iw geocraßy regarded. Nothing pave so well oh
the jndicioYM cultivation of the small crops,tbeir
roturtWyevGß upon our thiuncr lands fertilized, be
ing always remunerative, bonifies preserving aud
enriching the land with their turt, aud allowing
rest for its chemical recuperation.
Every farmer in tho county should devote at
tention to this crop. Its result* become a moot
important item in the snvingH account for the
year, to nay nothing of the satisfaction and great
couvcuteucoof eating home-made bread.and hav
ing an abundance of forugo for cattle and stock
during the winter month*.
GurcftU preparation of the luud is aKsential to
the production of grain. It in more than use
-Ihh to throw away time and 1 ibor bn tho lands
generally devoted to small grain, without tho ap
plication of approved method# of grain culture.
An early turning tinder of the green vegetation
Indore front ia necessary, as a gain is thereby se
cured in tho rich vegetable mould produced,
itself a most potent fertilizer. Most important
ufter a thorough preparation of the land** is a
liberal application oi a reliable fertilizer.one Imv
iug a good percentage of phosphatic matter,and
the Holuuble salts in its composition.
Our planters should sow- as largely of wheat
as possible, then devote equal care and prepara
tion to the costing of tho oat and barly crop.
Oats sown in the fall are said to be, by practical
agriculturists, more prolific than the spring pro
duct. The crop is estimated at about double the
yield in favor of the Kail and winter crop. We
trust this important part of our industry will
not be neglected. Our motto should l*e : “We
will mi; e the food and forage crops at home ." By
the adoption of this system of rotation,our lands
will recuperate under the sure accretion of na
tures, fertilizers, and in a few years render u a
ample returns for any crop desired.
Tlie PrrHciif Ncnlsof the Country.
To insure a vigorous and healthy growth of
town, city and country, our population should
consider the causes now militating against our
advancement, and strive by now energy aud
awakened enterprise to develop a genArnl inter
est in reforms of every character that effect our
welfare.
Among tire pressing needs of the country non©
stands lorth more boldly, and calls fof prompt
er ac tion, than that of immigration. It has be
come a necessity to our people', whose every in
terest is being affected by tlm lax and irregu
lar systems of industry, which are fostered by
agricultural and commercial exclusivism. Asa
people we have no diversity of pursuits. From
inaction and carelessness our Legislatures have
passed over the subject of immigration without
adapting any means for the promotion of its vast
interests. We trust a wiser statesmanship will
prevail in our future councils, and that meas
ure* will bo devised for the establishment of bu
reau* tor the transaction of all matters pro-,
motive of this policy. A survey of the State
should also be made, mines of wealth mapped
out, her resources of climate and soil made
known, and the general topography of the coun
try written up, all in such manner os to render
tho subject attractive, so that agents seat abroad
can,with those auxiliaries, induce a healthy tide
of immigration to our State.
It is needless to prate of our great natural ro
sourooK, the development of diversified interests
to any considerable degree, the building up ol
waste places, without outside enterprise and solid
capital, both in money aud in muscle. So long
as the present system of things holds, so long
will we 1)0 without a development of our now in
accessible resources. Tlie thvalldom of necessi
ty in the god of the hour. Our people are una
ble to lift themselves out of the present order of
tilings. True a revolution is already progress
ing in the agricultural arts, but this carries with
it only greater capacity for tho production ol
cotton. Oti or enterprises will not keep pace,]
because there is not enough capital in our towns
aud cities to counterbalance the excess of cot
ton development, by tho establishment of manu
factures ami other enterprises, whoso tendency
is to create diversity in the general products oi
the country. Immigration is the antidote lor
* listing evils. Of course our energy, our activ
ity should not abate our lit lo,but bo redoubled
in the struggle for the independence of diversi
fied industry.
One of the most curious features of tho Yol- |
lowstone reigons is to be found in the hot :
springs. On the border of the Yellowstone Lake
re often to be seen elevated mounds which jut
out from the shore into the w ater. These con
tain pools filled with heated water, so that it Is
possible for a person standing on the mound to
catch trout in the lake w ith the help of a fish
iug rod, aud to cook them in the tailing spring
without taking them oft' the hook.

Letter from Tallulah Falls.
Taixolab VkiAJt, Sept. 6, 1873.
Edltom Sinnsard:
Northeast Georgia is being font developed by
the Air Line Railroad. There are more place*
of interest along this road, and at easy distances
from it, than was ever dreamed of by the stay-at
home residents of the lower and middle coun
ties. But of all the points of interest that the
old Empire Htate can boast (and she can
proudly point to as many, perhaps, os any of
the so-called reconstructed,) commend ns to the
spot whose pretty name heads this article. Vir
ginia hits her spring**, the Carolinas and Ten
nessee their mountains, Alabama and Mississippi
their rivers, Louisiana and Missouri their cities,
but Georgia alone has a Tallulah Falls.
But little bus been said and written about the
Falls of Tallulah; in fact comparatively few of
the citizens of Georgia ever knew that onr old
State possessed such majes* ic scenery, until the
Air Line Railrood had penetrated this portion of
State. The Falls and the Bcenery surrounding
them beggar description. No vocabulary of ad
jectives would be adequate to convey a correct
idea of wliat is presented to the eye of the visit
or to these Falls. But let us firat give you an
idea of the location of the Falls. Taking the
Air Line Railroad at Atlanta we travel in a north
■eauterly course, 115 miles, to the rapidly rising
little city of Toecoa, 7 miles from the Carolina
line. From this poiut we travel per hack over
rough roads, it is true, bnt through a picturesque
country and by many wonders of nature, a dis
tance of If miles, when we arrive in the midst
of a beautiful range of mountains through w hich
the little river runs,that makes the Tallnlah Falls.
If we were not afraid of making this commu
nication too long, it would be pleasant to at
tempt a description ot one object that attracts
the visitor, a taut 2 miles on the north from
Toccoa city. We will baiely allude to it in this,
which is intended mainly to tell about the far
more wonderful spot where the Tallulah winds
her sylvan waters. Tbe object alluded to is the
place known as Toccoa Fall. A more beautiful
thing can hardly be imagined than the snowy
and nffst-like waters brc falling over solid rock
a distance of 185 feet. Tlie party conaisling of
L . B . and 0 -. K ~ of Talbotton, and
T—. C—of Macon, attempted to scale the
rocky cliff# that lifted their solid forms 200 feet
perpendicular, but no elasticity of limb nor skill
ful movement could insure a direct advance,
hence the crowning ris ks were reached only
by a flank movement, which of Itself required
all tlio strength, energy and tact that the said
trio could muster. It is sufficient to say in this
place that tho scene from the edge of the pio
jocting rock, close by the side ol the water rush
ing over the perpendicular heights, sufficiently
paid totjtbe toil spent in making the ascent.
Hero we are tempted to put in a few superla
tives, but we must foibeur. We will h ave you
to imagine the awful grandeur of the sight be
low. Imagine a trio flat on the edge of a rock
projecting ton feet,looking down 900 fret through
a cloud of spray upon the* solid rock below !
Tallulah Falls per direct routti, is about ten
miles from the Toccoa. These falls are said to
surpass in grandeur and sublimity of scene.y
any in the world. The Niagara are great* r be
cause the stream is larger. But for sublime
views and awful precipices, for deep ravines,
dark grottos and beautiful, limpid streams, and
succession of rupids and tails, the Tallulah will
never have an equal. Tbe trio Aforesaid f I;
luring observations from the principal in
that command the attention of tho visitor, i
cannot be expected, w here there are so many
places of almost equal interest that all will la*
spoken ef in a oominunu-ation of this kind. W<
will refer to a few. Near the hotel at tho head
of tho most noted points are the fishing grounds,
owned and kept in order by Mr. Yoong, the
proprietor, and who, by the way, is a very ac
commodating nud hospitable host; then come
tho Indian Arrow Rapids, the retiring of whoso
waters is distinctly hoard at the hotel. The wa
ter* bore rush through great sharp rooks with
great force and pass in swift currents down to
the Lean char (the water of gold) a little fall in
sight of the hotel. The next point of interest is
the Hawthorne Pool; so culled from the Rev.
Hawthorne, an Episcopal minister, who, while
bathing, was carried by the current over the
rocks and drowned. The geutle falls here give
the waters a beantiftil foamy aspect and the
sound made is luffing like a swarm ot bees
passing through tlio air. Tho TempestiaFull is
a distance of 80 feet over solid roek. Here the
channel ih about 100 feet wide and the volume
of water very large. It is difficult to make tlie
descent here to iL* water's edge. At least 000
feet must measure a direct line from the top of
the bluff to the water. The roar is terrific.
There are meandering paths leading down
through the jagged rock* to the poiuts where
the waters leap from above and to where they
fall betew. Nome ladies of adventurous spirits
make these descents. Miss W., of Columbus,
was brave and desirous of exploring some points
where the foot of man perhaps hud never trod.
She will be able to tell a story to her friends in
Columbus that will make their blood almost
curdle.
Hurricane Fall, a little below Turapostio, is
steeper, but not so great, it being a distance of
60 perpendicular teet. Here) the visitor can ap
proach close to the water’s edge, and by crawl
ing and lying lengthwise on the rock can take
an observation that makes the brain reel. The
waters are dashed into spray and seem as one
dense cloud ol smoke rising from below. The
sun ohiues upon this tall only about three hours
in tlie day, the cliffs on either side tteing so high.
Oceana Full in sight is only 15 feet, and is beau
tiful rather than terrible. The Devil’s Pulpit is
one of the highest points above these roaring
waters, the large broken rocks whence the visit
or takes his observations being 800 feet almost
perpendicularly above the waters. Here Mr.
kenug, the proprietor of the hotel, has a photo
graph gallery, and cau supply visitors witl many
of the moet interesting views of the falls aud the
rugged cliffs, strewn with peculiar vegetation,
above them. Lover’s Leap, almost UK) yards
lower down the stream, is a large rock project
ing fifteen feet from tho main surface of rocks
and overhanging a distance of 800 feet! Oue
of our trio was nearly frightened out of his wits
at this poiut. While he was lying flat on tho
rock, bis head extended beyond and looking un
dvr the shell of roek and upon the awful rugged
uess below, a fun loving one of the party cast a
small stone which struck near tho edge ol the
shell roek, whore said adventurer was lying,
and thinking from the cracking noise produced ■
tlmt the rock was giving way, with breathless
movement and pallor stricken countenance said ,
adventurer stiffed, rolled and crawled tack to •
more certain term firina ! He ventured not the 1
observation again. It there* bo any level’s woe
begone and desirous ol a final “smash-Op" of j
this mortal existence, in your parts, commend ;
them to this spot Tlie leap would be easy and j
some time given for dying declarations before i
reaching the final destination below.
Ths “Student s Rostrum" is 1,000 feet high j
ttnd the next highest poiut to be seen at tho Falls.
Tka ftn motion uf rocks represents seats and a
platform of 8 feet rock projecting towards the
water* 1,000 fret below. From this point the
“Eag)a’ Nest” is seen. It resembles the holes
in the rocks where eaglets newly fledged take
their firs! flight. It is about 20 feet below the
top of the cliffs on the opposite side of the stream
and had never been explored till a few day*
since, when a daring and adventurous spirit let
himself down by means of a rope and crawled
into the hole which is 6 feet wide, yet looks only
one from our point of observation. Said adven
turer went down into the hole about 15 feet and
thinks be reached the end. It is dark and cav
ernous and is one of the wonders of Tallulah
Falls. But perhaps it will be years before an
other spirit will be sufficiently daring to repeat
the story of it so recently told.
The “Grand Ghasm” is the last and most
stupendous point of observation to be seen. The
perpendicular height from the water to the edge
of the cliff where the observer stands is 1200
feet. It is so high that a rock as large as the
double fist thrown from the projecting rocks is
lost sight of before it strikes the broad and
smooth surface of the rocks below. It takes a
half a day to make the descent (a very rugged
and dangerous one) from the point of observa
tion to tho recesres below. Only two visitors
have yet made it They report that the sun
never shiner: upon the rocks at the bottom, al
though there is no vegetation to prevent. It is
o deep and the cliffs are so tall find narrow that
the my* of the meridian sun are excluded. This
is the “jumping off place." It is in the form of
a horse shoe. The mountains rise high above
the hanging cliffs on the opposite side. Grand
eur and sublimity, terribleiieHsandawfulneHHHre
tbe only words that can possibly give any ade
quate idea of the scene around and below. The
reality exceed* any description that can be made
by this trio’s join. For further information ap
ply in person at “Devil’s Pulpit,” “Lover’s
Leap" or “Grand Chasm"; and we’ll be yours
till then. Tmo.
St Louis is going into the cotton businnis in
earnest. Her merchants have organized a stock
company, with severity-five thousand dollars
paid up capital, and are buihliug a very ex
tensive warehouse, with a Tuylor compress
attachment,at a cost of twenty-five thousand
dollars, adjacent to the Iron Mountain depot,
whore cotton will be laid down in the warehouse
free of drayage ; also convenient to the ferry
transporting east, where cotton, after being
compressed, win be loaded in the cars from the
U rry taat, saving another drayage on rash bale
of cotton goiug East, thus enabling foreign and
Eastern cities to ship from there at a less rate of
