(Correspondence at the Bainbridge Argus ] LETTER FROM A11SOURI. On the Wing, August 4th, 18C9. Messrs Editors :—As the Akgus some times finds its way into the heart of Misouri, bringing to poor wander ing Georgians, news of friends’ still in the land of the sun and the South,” it is but fair 10 return a report from the country beyond “the great river.” Home friends are, no doubt, anxious to know how this region of prairies compares with “the land of cotton.’ - Daring the last few months I have crossed the State fr. m West to East by the great Pacific R. R.; then alo g the North Misomi as far as Macon City; then by way of Hanibal & St. Jo. R R. to ihe North as far os Pal myra, and I find the whole ccnntry is filled with plenty. There are num bers of fields where the prairie is fenced in and planted for the first time in wheat and yielding from 20 to 30 bushels to ihe acre, and corn in the same proportion. Georgians are now frequently found in Mo. And who can wonder at their coming when they know of the fine lands and good people here ? The people, as in all the States, are of different classes; but it has been my good fortune to make friends among those of good old Southern families. 1 spent several days, >n June, with a family of friends at Cattleville and TUi im. - uL-nj-amppy--aagrvfr self in the time. This country israp-7 idly improving. Very often I sigh to think my native State, with her ruin and desolation, is-still crashed by , northern hatred, while other States Sire being made better, wiser,' aid richer, by the talent of, the men and daughters of Georgia Hoping still to receive an occasion al viaitirom the Argus, I remain A Georgian.

It m true that the political a to: “Radicalism and S'*tdawagi3^n‘ , has not entirely ceased, but it has sufficiently abated to ascertaiu the latitude and longitude of the ship of State- And while it is also true that the Ship of State has not been steered by the chart of the Constitution, and has been navigating dangerous seas with .a “scilla and eha* ribdis” on either hand, and the perils are' by no means passed; yet, observation eliminates the fact that all is not -loot, but if common sense, right and justice should take the helm, the chart of the Constitution be followed and the oompass of sober reflection and common honesty he the guide, that good “old ship of State” may yet be anchored safely in the port of material, personal and national- prosperity, with genuine harmony re stored aiid happiness conferred. There are many on board of this “good old ship’ 3 who are laboring earnestly to this end, and without false lights upon the shore a better day is coming. Tea, a better day, for it could scarcely be worse. Egyptian darkness baa envel oped the land, bnt here and there the snn-light of right, justice, correct moral- thinking and prosperity begins to shine and these genial rays begin to expand the rain-bow of hope. The day of car pet-bag rale has been numbered, and its fate written on the walk It cannot be that this goodly land, so wonderfully blessed of Divine Providence in climate, 3oil, capacity for production and so ■ va ried in its frnits can remain nntilled and unfruitful. The innate energies of a great people—great in purpose and great in action—-will soon,- in spite of untoward circumstances, develop the! resources of the cohhtry and force no* tioual prosperity. “King Cotton," de throned for a time by 'the convulsion of the cares of life were forgotten and I became a child again, as I played with my friends amid the lilacs and kuney-suckles or shuck the while rose vines to make a snow storm of pule petals. A snow storm, as my child hood had known, made only of beau ty and fllgrance. I watched the bees and noted how a Misourian secures such beautiful light-colored honey ; and then I found my way to the viue- yard and orchard, to learn bow a few acres, planted in small frnits, could be made to pay,in dollars,by the hundred. And I begged admittance to the kitch en. to learn how the fruits are put up for. Winter. There are many lessons to be learned from a model house keeper here.

And the wonder is, how a little South ern town, like Troy, found its way out here in the West. It is a quiet little place, some twelve miles north of 'he N. M. R. R., nestled down m a deep shade with “The Spring” form ing the central attraction of the town. It is a chai noting little town with four churches and two high schools. The people, of coarse, are religious and educated. I entered by moon-light and the appearance of the houses, the flower gardens and the shade-trees at -'nee impressed me with a partiality for the place. The cordial reception of my friends and the home manner of everything around lent a charm to the visit; and at night, whether sleeping or waking, I cannot say, but I was dreaming of “my sweet sonny home,” when I was startled by. the joyous song of a mock ing bird, quite near my window. Poor little bird, far away from its .sunny clime, it .has found Iroy, and for a few years past has made its home here. Poor bird ! why had it left its native place? Had rude hoards wasted its home ? And ernei friends murdered its loved oues? Perhaps so- But there was another, h >me found in the West, and in re- torn for kindness of the new friends, the little stranger bird poured fourth iig sweetest, merriest songs. Who w mkl not heed die lesson ? . After having ICroy, I took the N. M. B R. abd passed the little town of Jam -sborgl ’ I had not visited it for twelve months, ^was^ surprised to’find tbt town had more than doubfod it- the Southern man who has raised him and been raised with him. The associ ations of a lifo-time cannot be easily brokin; tlieir influence and impressions are potent for good or evil and the black man is realizing the fact, and ia begin ning to look to the tone source of pro tection, employment and enconrage- mont. There need, aad there will not be any coDflct of races. “The laborer is worthy of his hire,’’ and no one i» more willing to accord this truth than the true Southerner, whether “hire” comes under the patriarchal relation or in the form of-stipulated wages. All that is asked is that capital and brains and labor be left to regulate themselves, aad harmony and prosperity will moat aa* snreuly onsne. Alfba.
