The Berry Journal has the following: which may serve to soothe the emi gration fever which has been amongst the colored laborers. Ax Arkansas Emigrant Return ed—What IIe Thinks of that Land of Promise.—One of Mr Geo, Slappey’a hands, alter a month’s trial of Arkansas, has rctarned to Georgia, gone back to the plantation he was living on when lie left, and says Gcor* ia soil is good to cover his carcass when he dies, provided he keeps his senses until then. He says the negro preacher, Mac Troutman, who induc ed his party to go, ami who promised to go and stay liiriseit, deserted them soon as they get to the Mississippi river, getting his pay, no doubt, and returning for another load. He says he lived in the swamps, had to drink lagoon water and work hard,* that everything was so different from what he expected, and so unlike what he was used to, that his whole “studi- tnent” from the time he landed was how he might get back, home. He left several of bis friends there sick, and nearly all extremely anxious to get back home; but thev have to stay there until they can pay back the mon ey it took to carry them and get thir ty-live dollars to come back oh. If this comes to the knowledge of any colored man, and he should doubt the truth Of it, he cau easily satisfy him- lf by seeing Geo. Lindsay, the veri table individual we have written about, who is now at work plantation of Mr. Slappcv, near this place; and we would advise them to see George, as we cannot in this bnef article tell the half of his story. The Albany News, of Friday, has the following items: Going to Texas.—We regret to learn that our esteemed fellow-citizen, Hon. D. H. Pope, Judge of Dougherty County Court, has determined to re sign, sell out aud remove to Sherman, Texas. Cotton and corn escaped injury from the frost Wednesday night, anti both ciops arc doiug splendidly. Planters are cheerful, and the pros pect is good. The Southwestern Extex. sion.—Wc had the pleasure of a brief interview yesterday with Major Max well, the contractor for building the Blakely extension of the Southwestern rail-road, trom whom we learned that 241-2 miles arc completed, and that the road has been turned over to Mr. Powers os far as to Leary’s Station, 2.1 miles from Albany. The regular pas.-euger trains will probably com mence running to that point to-mor row. Leary's is only seven miles from Morgan, in Calhoun county Georgia, says the Baltimore Ga zette, is a sensible Slate in some matters. It has repealed all usury laws. It has done more than this.— It is determined to be a great manu facturing Stale. And there is no reason why it should not be. Its water power is excellent. Trade has revived at Savannah more than any other city of the South except New Orleans. The State govern ment Is gradually becoming more stable, aqd the labor disorganiza tion is adjusting itselt. So Georgia has an idea that the State is to be in the future the manufacturing centre of the South, aud to facilitate this the Legislature has exempted from taxation for ten yean all capital in vested in cotton and woolen mills, iron furnaces and iron manufac tures.

I would not marry Lewis Harding, if all his houses and lauds would turn into pure gold.” - “Rut you’d marry me with no house at all?” “I would!” and Clara blushed. It was on a summer's day. and the lovers wore walking in a shady wood. Their rambles had brought them to the banks ot a little brook, and here they sat down to rest on the moss- covered trunk of a fallen tree, while the pure waters murmered at their feet. “Well, dear Clara,” said Will Jor dan, “1 see no reason fop further delay. Your lather has already threatened to compel you to (harry Lewis Harding, and you constantly incur his anger by refusiug. Now, were you once mv wife, be would know that his plans could never be carried out, and so cease to persecute you. He may never be reconciled to us, but we will be all to each other, and can get along without his ft iendship—although I would much rather have his esteem than not. Now I’ll tell you what I propose.” “What?” asked Clara, faintly. “There is but one way—don’t start! —we must elope.” Clara was silent. “And this very night!” Will added. “Oh, so soon?” “Yes,‘delays are dangerous.’ The sooner you are relieved from your pre sent unpleasant situation the better. Lewis Harding calls daily, you say, and thrusts himself into your society, while you endure him rather than your fathers anger. Let us put au end to it.” “I believe you are right.” “Then you will go with me to-uight” “Yes.” “Good!” he said, kissing her. 41 a matter of form, I will make all rangements for our marriage, and will be at the edge of the \vood ? in rear of your (house, at exactly eight o'clock this evening, and I will have a buggy not far oil'. Asa signal, I will imitate the cry of the whip-poor-will, which I can do with great exactness. On hear ing that you come out at the rear- door, run across the the lawn and join me. Then, very quietly—without ev er speaking—we will hurry away to our conveyance. They supposed that only the inno cent little birds heard this very confi dential dialogue, aud there was no tear that they would reveal the plot. Alas! how the Idvers must havo trembled had they caught a glimpse of the an gry face that frowned upon them from behind a great oak tree, a few yards distant. An hour later, old Jacob Morton en tered the village, which was only halt a mile distant, aud walked into the real estate office of Lewis Harding, finding that gentleman in. “What do you think?” he exclaimed, excitedly. “I don’t know. What has happen ed?” returned Harding. “Why, they’ve met again—had a confab in the wood.” “Ah! How did you find it out ?” “I was there.” Harding turned pale. “What! You don't mean—” “Without there knowledge,” ex plained Mr. Morton. “1 stood behind a large tree aud heard them—will you believe it?—plan a deliberate elope ment. Oh, the audacity of —” “An elopement! When?” “This very eveniug.” .“What ! And did you—” “I felt like rushing forth and strik ing him, but a better plan occurred to me. Let the elopement go on, but you be the party instead of Jordan.” (Here Mr. Morton minutely detailed the plau of the lovers as he overheard it) “Now you go to the appointed place in the' edge ol the wood, and there conceal yourself. Go a little ahead of time. Then he will come at the proper time, aud give the signal. The shadows of night were gather ing, when a male figure crept along the edge of the wood, and crouched among som* bushes opposite the rear of Mr; Morton’s house, muttering: “She’s getting ready. She little im agines she is going to elope with L. /L, Esq. Ha! ha! The olJ buffer and I are just six too many for William Jordan, and Clara Harding that is to be.” About the same time, a sly old man quietly seated himself by a’back win- of tne lowed floor, and watched. “It’s working nicely,” he muttered, as a female figure glided across the lawn, and hid in some shrubbery near the wood. About this time another female fig ure-number two, let us call her— took her a seat at a window of Clara Morton's room, and gazed anxiously towards the gloomy wood. Finally, another male figure—num ber two—appeared at the edge of the wood, where a gate led into tne lawn, and-the cry of a whip-poor-will broke upon the night's stillness. Instantly, female figure number one passed quietly out through the gate, seizing tne arm of male figure numder two, aud they hurried away into the gloom. “Good!” chuckled the sly old man at the window. “GcoJ!” said male figure number one, who lurked in the bushes. A quarter of a minute—a half- three-quarters—a minute—two—three —four. Why doesn't she come? Why doesu't she come?” also mut tered the sly old man at the lower win dow. “Oh, there she goes, at last! Probably forgot something. Nervous, uo doubt. Now for tho village!” A female figure—number two— emerged from the rear door of the building, stepped out a few paces into the lawn, looked around nervously, then walked stealthily toward the wood. At the gate she met male figure number oue, who had now come forth from his place of concealment, and they hurried through the wood toward a lane not far off. A buggy was wait ing there, and they got in aud drove away toward the village. They stopped at the church aud went in. The interior was lighted up, and a score or two of people sat in the front pews. The newly pnived pair walked straight up the aisle and stood in front of the altar. A moment later the sly old man came iu and compla cently took a scat, pretty well for ward. The lady was closely veiled, and her male companion—who of course was Mr. Harding—kept his own face some what averted, as if from bashlulness. “She may say the word that makes her my wile before she discovers that I am not Jordan,” lie muttered; aud he trembled a little. The minister proceded with his usu al solemnity, and was just uttering the words “If any man cau show just cause why they may not bo lawfully joined,” etc., when the sly old man started from his seat aud fairly yelled: Look here! What’s all this? That isn’t my daughter!” “What!” exclaimed Hauling. Everybody started. “Why, you liavn't got her, you blun dering donkey!” exclaimed the plain- spoken old man. "-There she is!” And he pointed excitedly to a pew at the right of the altar, where, lo! Will Jordan and Clara calmly sat. “Why—why,” stammered Harding, addressing nis companion, “What does this mean? Who arc you?' 1 (She removed her veil, and stood re vealed—Marv Malone. “How’s this?” demanded Jacob Morton, uo longer sly. “Don't kuow,” replied Mary Ma lone. “Guess we must ha’ got mixed up somehow.” “Then the mistake shall be correct ed/” said Mr. Morton, angrily. “Clara, step right up and marry Mr. Hardiuj Do you hear?” “Mr. Morton,” interposed the minis ter, “that can’t te.

We learned yesterday, says the Ma con Telegraph, in conversation with one of the largest planters in the State, whose fanning interests are in South western Georgia, that the agricultural “situation” at present is decidedly cheering. Everywhere in that section are seen evidences of energy and en terprise, such as have not been ex hibited since the war. A great deal of work has been done on fences, sta bles, gin-houses and all other planta tion buildings—fence corners arc cleaner than tor years, the land has been more thoroughly prepared than usual, extraordinary diligence has been shown in getting ready for the crop, and the negroes are working remark ably well. Fine stands of com have been secured, aud a larger area plant ed, in his opinion, thanlast year. Cot ton planting is actively going on, the the land having been prepared with unusual care. Altogether, the outlook is exception ally bright, and with favorable seasons Southwestern Georgia will take a huge stride toward the high, healthy plaue of -pecuniary independence and substantial prosperity. reach the place for she will raov slowly, in order to make no noise.— Meantime there shall be another per son in the lawn—whom 1 shall bribe for the purpose—who will step out and join him before Clara has time to get out of the house; aud he thinkiug it is ray daughter, will hasten away with her. Soon alter, .Clara will join you, thinkiug that you are Jordan. Then take her to where you have a buggy “ Where arc you going ?” said a young gentleman to an elderly one in a white cravat, whom he knew well and overtook on the road.—“I am go ing to heaven, my son.—I have been on the way eighteen years.” “Well, good-bye, old fellow, if yon have been traveling toward heaven eighteen years, and got no nearer than South Carolina, I’ll take another road.” The Marriages of Great Men.

It is quite impossible, in the columns ot a single issue to give more than an outline of the surpassing natural re sources of this Commonwealth. The subject is so momentous that the fui- thcr it is investigated the more en grossing docs it become. The State is oue of the original thirteen. She has been the home of many genera tions, and her history i9 adorned with many illustrious names. She is justly termed the Empire State of tho South, - , . and yet she is in tho infancy of her this she was fifty-two years old while | (ri'lits ho was twenty-five.

On reaching home he asked where dat a was. “Out walking yet, sir,” replied the servant, Mary Malone. “Well, Mary,” said he, “I want you to do me a greu* favor, aud if you suc ceed I will mako you a present of a tweuly-dollar bill.” He then confided to her that he had overheard Clara and Will Jordan planning an elopement, gave the de tails, revealed his plan for check-mat ing them, and informed her of the part he wished her to play. **Kery well, sir; I'll do it,” said Mary. “Thank you ; and you shall have your money to-morrow.” Mary went about her work, mut tering to herself: “Twenty dollars! Pooh! I wouldn't betray Clara for twenty hundred. I'll tell her even- word, you hard-hearted old sinner, if i lose my place for it!” Ten minutes later, Clara returned, and Mary promptly told her the whole story. “Oh, dear! that will defeat us for the present,” said Clara. “No: it will only assist you,” res ponded Marv. “How?” “I will tell you.” And Marv lowered her voice, lest the very walls should hear, and told her what her plan was. “Ob, Marv, you dear girl!” Clara ex claimed. “Voull lose your place here by it, but yoush|^^ye a better one.” 3!arr’s plan-^Bterer it. wa?— seemed to pie^^darm, and as the afternoon wore away, fire persons waited, anxiously for eight o’clock. shook hands with them, saying: “Yes—sold!

Instead of going out into the lawn to personate me and deceive Will, she remained in ray room, while I went forth and personate her to deceive you. I therefore joined Will as soon as I heard the whip-poor-will, and we felt. Mary then came down and eloped with Mr. Harding.” “Such perfidy!

Bereaved. It is said that the following letter was written by a bereaved ami stricken widow to a friend in Cincinnati: “Dearest Louisa: Darling John died last night Congestion of the lungs. Our loss is his gain. 1 will join him on the other shore. I have ordered the lovliest mohair for the funeral, made with polonaise and trimmed with real point lace.

Wide tracks of her rich domain are uncultivated; her forests are treasures of uutold wealth, while a vast area of her surface is underlaid with mines, the value of which defies computation. She is the foretnoel Southern State in cotton manufacture; but in this field her success has onl« begun. In whatever aspect the State is viewed, whether in agriculture, in tho utilization of her forest, in the de velopment of her minerals or iu her manufactures, she has but entered a career of acliievmcnt, tho grandeur ol which will be witnessed by future gen erations.— New York Sotith. ■ m The Fanners In Council. The movement of farmers in the North-west against railway monopo lies and extortious is spreading with great rapidity. There is now a Con vention of them sitting at Spring- field, 111., and the spirit pervading it is a settled determination to break them down by forcing such legislation as shall protect them in matters of transportation. The third resolution adopted runs thus: “That we hold, rtsolve and declare that this despotism which defies our laws, plunders our shippers, impover ishes our people and corrupts our Government, shall he subdued and made to subserve the public interest at whatever cost” And the last resolution of tho plat form says: “That we regard it as the undoubted C >wcr and the imperative duty of the cgislature to pass laws fixiug reason able rates for freight and passengers without classification of roads, and that we urge upon our General Assem bly the passage of such laws.” It will come to this here as well as there the first thing our railroad men know. Wc believe our Legislature now claims the right of limiliug the rates of passage, and the right to reg ulate the charges upon freight is pre cisely the same thing iu theory aud in law.—Macon Enterprise. m ♦ m A Grange in Clay County.— While in Fort Gaines on Monday last, learned that a “Grange,” or a jc of the Patrons of Industry, had been organized at Bluffton, in Clay county, with the following officers; Master, E. C. Durant ; Overseer, R. Mills ; Lecturer, Philip Tinsley ; Secretary, Dr. Tinsley; Steward, Wil lis McCarty ; Assistant, Steward, S. Bcckom ; Lady .Assistant, Miss Ham- bo ; Flora, Miss Tinsley Pomona, Mrs, Dr. Tinsley. We learn, also, that one of these in stitutions will be organized in Calhoun county in a few days, under Capt. Da vis as Master. All the Granges at present being established in Georgia arc organized under charter* from the National Grange at Washington. As these organizations arc intended to promote the interests of farmers, we cannot but wish them success—provi ded, always, that other interests neces sary to the general welfare of the coun try, arc not thereby injured, which we can hardly concclvec an be the case.— Early County Noes.
