Macon, Ga., Juno 27, 1871. OOIKO FCBTHEB SOUTH. Leaving Atlanta for Macon w e rode to a place rilli-d (inflia, some 40 miles distant, and made a homely snpper before going further. The cars ran slow—100 miles in eight hours—but limn ibis was a slow train. Tho fact is that even the fast trains do not make your head swim „a account of their speed. They make, as a mailer of great consequence, 20 miles an hour. In my opinion, some of the railroads of the .Smith nru only great in one particular, and that ia tbs price of tickets for local travel. Let ns ! compare: New York to Washington, 200 miles, K hours, $7 fiO; Augusta to Atlanta, 171 miles, y> hours, ¥8 5(1. All rates down here are five 1 cents a mile, and the average speed of trains is probably fifteen miles an hour. On the route from Atlanta to Macon the road is marked, on or near it, with frequent brick or granite chimneys, against which wooden houses have lieen limit. The chimney is erected first and the house aftorwards, and the former always | survives tho latter either after fire or deoay. The country people along this route do not seem to be overburdened with high ideas of architec tural beauty in bnilding residences, bnt live in shanties. Many who occupy these impromptn dwellings are wealthy, and the theory of neces sity, therefore, is not well grounded. Bnt a few of the rich residents have fino gardens, vine- j arils and hunting grounds. Arriving AT MACON, yon see it. but appear to go nronnd tho place almnl three times, like a hawk encircling his prey, before yon reach tho depot. Once landed, yon find a busy place. A set of hiltazind plains, .-ilsint Ibroo miles square, from tho city limits. Tltcso confront oaoh other, and are blended in beauty of scene and nninterosting business rou tine. Tho people live on tho surrounding hills in resiliences as comfortable and beautiful as will ho found in the most modern northern country bnsineas town. The new houses and stores are built on the most approved modem plans, with all the improvements. I believe Taackoray said that Macon “looks like a city of palacos.” Magnificent residences aro ninny in number, and not a few are furnished at a cost of small fortunes. THE PEOPLE arc tho kind to adiniro, both for their public spirit and practical judgment. They aro gen erally wealthy merchants and planters, sober and moral. They discuss politics only onoe a year, nnd then only talk and work for nomineos; tor politics among them is a one-sided affair. Tbo Democrats aro in secure majority. They speak of the North as if they bolieve there ac- i tally is such a place as tho North, and. as if they know something abont it. They get stock and market reports by tolegrnph every hour or two, and they take pains to furnish me contin uous reports of the fluctuations in Bock Island stock and cotton, thongh I have no personal in terest in either. Simon Cameron says be thinks Macon is tho prettiost place he ever saw, and he loves the people hero. Bight here I wish to say that the people of the South aro making more money now than they over did at any pre vious time in their history. Espociallv is this tho case ever sineo the war in Georgia and South Carolina. Trno, the losses by the war were very great, both by aetual losses and in dorsements for one another, bnt a suspicion "of a neighbor’s abibty to pay has acted as a gen eral safeguard to everybody, and men who nev er did a day’s work before have applied their talents and physical strength in efforts to make money, and fortunate circumstances have con spired to make them successful. Many who were $ 10,000 or §30,000 worse off than penni less when the war ended are now quite well-off again, but, of conrse, many unfortunates have gone deeper in debt. Few failures are noted in Macon. Ilor native business men have been in tho same line all their lives. But their gener ous welcome extended to Northern competitors hai resulted in bringing a thrifty class of North ern business men who have infused Yankee life into the dealings, and made Macon a good dis tributing point. Her native people lost little in the war except slave property, and thongh that loss was great, yet the benefit of profit since has repaid that loss several fold. Emancipation has been a pleasant experience for Macon. The city stands at the head of the cotton belt of Southwestern Georgia and Alabama, and all that country pays tribute to it. Planters from sections northeast have taken their trusty labor ers to the cotton belt below here and raised cot ton. This emigration was of the trained class, both proprietors and laborers. The now comers have emptied their products into Macon as a shipping point, and from thence drawn their snpplies. The effect was to enhance the value of her real estate and infnse prosperity into every vein. Property owners have doubled, trebled and quadrupled the value of their pos sessions, and find ready purchasers. No store or warehouse is vacant, and the demand for dwelling houses is greater than the supply. THE BUSINESS OF MACON is therefore of a substantial sort. There are now occupied about 200 first-class stores, be sides a large number of shops. Many stores do wholesale business only. Twenty-eight first- class stores and about 400 fine private resi dences are now going up. Two grocery nnd drygoods houses, or planters’ outfit establish ments, do a greater business than any in the State, each making soles aggregating $1,000,000 per annum. Next to Memphis and Angpnsta tMsi is the greatest interior cotton mart in tho South. The receipts for I SO-70 were S 1,000 bales, while for 1870-71, up to June 23, over 100,000 bales were received, with more than two months yet to run. The merchants feel greatly cnoouraged by their suocess. Some of this cot- tm is manufactured on the spot. Thongh her two cotton mills are worked by steam, under “any disadvantages of expense for coal nnd wood, whieh are not felt at all whero water power is used, yet both pay in dividends more than ten per cent, upon the capital. Ono com- P*uy has been in operation twenty-one years, and the machinery is now quite old. It has always been successful. It has a surplus fund °f over 60 per cent. The Confederate govern ment erected an immense brick armory here; a company has been formed with a capital of • §300,000, and tho intention is to fit it up for a cotton factory of something like a thousand looms, for making No. 14 yarns and cotton cloths. They propose to utilize the waters of the Ocmnlgee river, whioh runs with navigable volume past the city, and would furnish sufficient power to work at least a million spindles. Several manufacturing establishments here are important for this section. Among these are three iron foundries and machine shops, em ploying a few hundred hands. The railroads centreing here, six in number, have fine work shops, and employ a considerable number of mechanics and laborers. There are also manu factories which supply the local wants of tho neighborhood, such as sashes, blinds, bricks, eta, besides several flooring mills. These last ship floor to all points. The cotton warehouses aro of the most sub stantial and extensive character, occupying fall squares of large extent Six of these are im mense, and average each a capacity of storing ton thousand bales of cotton. All business buildings are of brick, it being against the law to erect wooden bnildmgs within fire limits. PUBLIC BUILDINGS, ETC., are many in number and quite imposing. The Conrt-boase, now being erected, is made of brick covered with acid and penciled to look like Northern pressed brick. The roof is of mansard style in galvanized iron, and it, with the whole bnilding, is patterned in imitation of the Strasbnrg Cathedral. Tho Methodist Female College was tho first female college started in the United States. It originated in 1837. It has 240 pupils and an honored list of professors. This college ranks now among tho first in importance in the United States. The Masonic Temple, of tho Grand Lodge of the State of Georgia, now bnilding, will be a fine structure. It will cover abont three quarters of an acre of ground. This fra ternity has considerable properly in Macon, and its rents are a good income. Tho Mercer University and Appleton Church Orphan House are largo nnd well-eDdowed in stitutions. The former has about $500,000. Tho Cemetery is a most bnantifnl and roman tic spot. It is situated on the banks of tho Oc mnlgee, and the hillside slope is a wood of old water oaks and tender saplings. The scenery around and all through it is varied and qnite picturesque. It abounds in secluded retreats, springs, rivulets, bridges and vaults, and mau soleums and magnificent statuary erected and walled in on hillside lots, overlooking rare trees clad in verdure of ivy and evergreen. To the mind of the Southerner the idea of throwing vile dirt npon a dead body is revolting in the extreme. To obviate this they dig a grave some six feet deep and brick it np to the top of the coifin box. When the coffin is inserted they arch it over and brick it np to the surface of the ground. The city own some two thousand acros of ground in the corporate limits and the outskirts. Abont one thousand acres of this is now being fitted up for tho State Agricultural Fair to be held next October. Fart of this tract is a race track, a mile long, nnd as level as a floor. Great preparations are on foot for holding the fair. The Commissioner of Agriculture regards the fairs hold here as very important matters. He attends them. The city has the most beautiful natural site for a largo park, that I have ever seen. Considerable effort was made when it became probable that t he capital of the State would be moved from Millodgeville to have Macon the capital. The question of removal had boon agitated for a long time by the people of the northorn pnrt of the State. At the time of changing the constitution the opportunity of fered and the battle for peace was waged be tween Macon and Atlanta. The success of the latter point is well known, as well as the im mense prosperity that followed that event. It was one strong link in the chain of circumstan ces that places Atlanta in the load of any south ern inland city in progress. THE CITY FINANCES. Macon has n population of about 18,000 per sons. Ilor debt amounts to ODly $700,000, most of which was incurred in aid of railroads. They aro all constructed, and the stocks promise to become profitable investments. Tho other as sets of the city available for sale, if dcsirod, aro much greater than tho whole indebtedness. THE HEALTH OF THIS LOCALITY is good; in fact, very good. Tho climate is dry and bracing. Epidemics never visit this place. The business or lower portion of tho city is not, in my experience, as oool as might bo dosirod. In fact, I found it hot. The in habitants say it is cool and delightful there all anmmer. Probably I was thero on awfnlly tor rid days, ss they say I was. Whethor the state ment of the inhabitants or my own experience correct is matter of little consequence. I don't see why Macon should bo a hotter place than tho neghboring towns. \V. P. C.

Upwards of FOUR HUNDRED are iu successful operation in privato residences, churches, factories, etc. No other apparatus is operated on tlio samo or any similar principle, wliicti guarantees a light of uniform quality, in either arg&nd or open Burners, WITHOUT THE USE OF ARTIFICIAL HEAT. The practical operation of the Machines can bo seen at the PASSENGER SHED of the Railroad Companies in MACON; also at the Printing and Publishing House of Messrs J. W. BURKE & CO. Wo call attention to tlie following extiact ftoma letter from J. W. Burke, Esq.: Macon, Ga., March 23, 1371. “We have bad one of the U. S. Gaslight Comp* ny’s Machines, in operation since the 10th of No vember, 1870, and it is perfectly satisfactory to ns in its general working and cheapness. We paid tho Macon Gaslight Company for four months of last year and the year previous—viz: November, De cember, January and February—$399.56. In using this Machine our gas for the four corresponding months cost us $114—thus saving us in that time $285.56. The light is quite as good as that of the City Gas Company, and has the advantage of being entirely under our control to nse as wo please. During the severe weather in December it burned without intermission, not being at all affected by the freeze. Wo see no trouble in tho Machine or the light, and cheerfully recommend it.” [Signed] J.
