Generals Steedman and Fullerton com
plete here their investigations of the
IState of Georgia. They have visited
Savannah, Tbomasville, Augusta, Macou
and Columbus.—From the extensive na
ture of their mission it would be impossi
ble for them to touch at e' ery point of in
terest without prolonging the trip far be
yond reasonable limits. r J bey are obli
ged, so tosf eak, to “sample” a State by
tapping a few ot the representative dis
tricts, and iu this way they derive an idea
of the feeling of the community at large.
Even with this mode of progression, with
constant travelling and incessant work, it
will probably be far on in July before we
reach Texas, the limit of our tether.

forty-seven of them were formerly my

I let them raise their rice crop; I give them

them keep as many poultry and pigs as
they can, and 1 promise them one-fourth
of the cotton. If things go on as well as
they promise, and cotton is only twenty
cents a pound, every one of them will be
worth one hundred and twenty five dollars
on the first of January next. Now I nev

and I have never made any formal con
tract with them. I casually mentioned to
General Tilson what I was going to do.
He approved of it, and 1 made a more lib

rapid travelling. Sixteen miles an hour
is the extreme limit of. tlieir speed, ten
miles the average. Every hundred miles
traversed represent ten hours of physical
»gony r spent in jolting over badly laid
roads the metals of which have probably
been bent up by Sherman, and are very
imperfectly straightened out—a dreary
monotony diversified only’ by breaking a
coupling, running over a stray bullock, or
running off' the Hack. In this uncomfor
table manner, without sleeping cars or
auy of those luxuiies which reduce tbedis-
comicrts of travel, iu the North to a mini
innni, we have made more than three thou
sand miles in the two months over which
our journeyings have exteuded, and have
disposed of five out of the eleven States
down on the programme. From Georgia
we proceed to Alabama, commencing at
Montgomery tomorrow.
CONCERNING GEORGIA.
There are 356,000 treedmen in Geor
gia, but, greatly to the credit of the ad
ministration of the 1’ reedmen’s Bureau,
only 1.223 of this number aro dependent
upon the Government for support. I no
ticed in a former letter the vastly different
system of government iucluded in the one
term, “Freed men’a Bureau,” pointing out
that every State had Its peculiar system,
differing as widely from the system of the
adjoining Sta'es as the laws and social
customs of South Carolina and Massachu
setts. The organization of the Freed-
men’s Bureau in Georgia resembles noth
ing we bad previously seeu. The policy-
pursued by General Tilson, the Assistant
Commissioner, has been to carry out the
objects of the Bureau under the ergia of
the State government
The sub-agents of the Bureau, two
hundred in number, are appointed under
the powers conferred upon General Till-
son by a resolution of ibe Otaio C«ava n .
tion. They thus become virtually petty
magistrates, and being citizens of the
State, selected for their high character
for honor and uprightness, they create no
prejudice among the whites, and generally
act with perfect fairness and justice to
wards the blacks. There is uo idea of
any coercive interference of the Federal
Government with the internal affairs of the
State, which in Virginia and elsewhere
produces a feeling of hostility and oppo
sition to the Bureau, while the power of in
terference is all the while retained intact.
It is the mailed band under the kid glove.
In every case where outrages on freedmen
necessitate interference General Tillson
calls first on the sheriff'and the civil au
thorities, puts them in the foreground and
backs them up with federal soldiers.
This policy is producing admirable results.
It is accustoming the people of the State
so the new status ci eated by the emanci
pation of the blacks and the conferring
upon them of all civil rights; and it is
teaching the colored people to rely upon
the civil courts, before whom whites and
blacks are now placed on a perfect equali
ty, aud is weaning them from the perni
cious notion of a special Providence in the
shape of a Freedmen’s Bureau placed
over them to take up their cause in all
cases, whether right or wrong, to feed
them when lazy and to secure them the
highest rate oi wages for the least amount
of work.
ent. I brought him up as a wheelwright
and wagon builder, and he is still following
the same trade. The only difference iu
our relative positions is that before the
war he paid me a nominal hire in wagon
wheels, and so on, and now he makes me
presents as you see, and comes to me to
borrow money to carry on his business.
Then another of my hands, who served
all through the war right down to the
battle of Columbua, was captured once
but escaped and came back to slavery and
me. Yet strange to say, as soon as free
dom was proclaimed he took a strange in
fatuation and ran away and left me, though
1 told him if he wanted to go to tell me
and go square and above board. He is in
this town now and is doing well; but I
never have anything to say to him, for he
with not even a twig to catch hold of.
General Steedinan, at the close of the pro
ceedings, expressed his great gratification
at the tone which had pervaded the pro
ceedings. Ex Governor J. Johnson and
Hr. I ucker, another staunch Union man,
were present during the meeting.

Soda-Water—Its History.—We will
venture to say that very few of our rea
ders ** ho frequent the soda fountains know
the manner in which the beverage is
made. boda-V\ ater is simply pure water
impregnated with carbonic acid gas. It
is known by its agreeable, pungent taste,
by its slightly exhilarating qualities, and
its bubbling anti scintillation' The water
to be impregnated with the gas is placed
in a strong vessel, usually made of iron or
copper, called a fountain. The gas, after
being passed through water to purify it, is
conducted to the fountain, and, after sufli
cient agitation in contact with the gas, at
high pressure, the water becomes impreg
nated, and is then what is known as soda-
water. The first experiments were made
by \ enal, in France, 1750, and published
in 1776; by Priestly, in 1798; and, later,
by Bergman, Black. Van Helmont, and
others. '1 he fiist manufactory in the
world was established at Geneva, by Goss,
an apothecary of that city, whose annual
sales amounted to 40,000 bottles of “Eau
de Selts.” iu 1790, his partner, Mr. Paul,
founded an establishment in Paris, where
were compo.<nd« d not only the principal
mineral waters of France, butiven those
of foreign countries- From this time on
ward, laboratories multiplied all over Eu
rope, aud the manufacture of simple agra-
ted water is now c<»uducted on so large a
scale in all civilized countries, ttiat a very
large amount of inventive talent has been
To the Ciliitaa mf Georgia.
THE temptation of a sanguinary contest, which
for four years has presented an impassible barrier
to all social or commercial intercourse between
two great sections of our country, having at length
happily cleared away all obstacles .to a renewal
of those relations which formerly bonnd ns to
gether in u fraternal union, I take the earliest
oppoitunity afforded me by this suspicions event,
to greet my Southern friends, and to solicit fiom
them a renewal of that extensive business connec
tion which for a quarter of a century has been
uninterrupted save by the great public calamity
to which I have adverted.
It is scarcely necessary, on the threshold of a bu
siness re-union, I should repeat the warning so
often given to my friends,—to beware of all those
spurious and ’deleterious compounds which, un
der the specious and false titles of imported Wines,
Brandies Holland Gin, Liquors; &c , have been
equally destructive to the health of our citizens as
prejudicial to the interests of the legitimate impor-

ANOTHER CASE.
On the ears, between Macon and Co
lumbus, General Steedman fell into con
versation with an extensive planter, whose
statement strongly confirmed the asser
tions of Howell Cobb. The name of this
gentleman, I believe, is Mr. G. H. Slappy I P^ere every damp day. The soot
and he is working two thousand acres of. becoming damp, falls down to the
ty of salt into the mortar with w hich the
inter-courses of the brick are to be laid.
The effect will be that theiewiil never
be any accumulation of soot in that chim
ney. The philosophy is thus stated :
r I he salt iu the portion of mortar which is
exposed absorbs moisture from the atmos-

■laves, not one having left his plantation.
He stated that neither he nor his laborers,
nor his son, nor his son’s laborers had ever
troubled the Bureau; they all got on much
better without. “I was always kind to my
niggers," he said, adding with • much nai
vete, ••sometimes I used to crack one or two
of them over the head with a stick, and i
generally the others said ’Amen’ and j
“Served ’em right,’ but now I find I can
get on much better without than with.”|
The planters generally have a thorough
Many yeprs of my past life have been expended
in mi open and candid attempt to expose these
wholesale Irauds; no time nor expense has been
spared to accomplish this salutary purpose, and
to place before my friends and the public general
ly at the lowest market price, and in such quanti
ties as might suit their convenience, a truly gen
uine impoited article.
Twenty-five years’ business transactions with
the largest and most respectable exporting bouses
in France aud Great Britain have afforded me un
surpassed facilities for supplying our home mar
ket with Wines Liqnors and Liqmures of the best
and most approved brands in Europe, in additiou
to my own distillery in Holland for the manufac
ture of the “Schiedam Schnapps.”
The latter, so long tested and approved by the
medical Faculties of the United States, West In
die* aud South America as au in\aluable therape
utic, a wholesome, pleasant and perfectly safe
beverage in all climates and during all seasons,
quickly excited the cupidity of the home manu
facturers and venders of a spurious article under
the same name.
I trust that I have, after much toil and expense
surrounded all my importations with safeguards
and directions wuich with ordinary circumspec
tion will insure their delivery, as I receive them
from Europe, to all my customers.
I would, however, recommend in all cases where
it is possible, that orders be sent directly to my
depot. 22 Beaver Street, New York, or that pur
chases be made of my accredited agents.
In addition to a large stock of Wines, Brandies,
&c., 1 have a considerable supply of old tried for
eign wines, embracing vintages of many years
past bottled up before the commencement of the
war, which I can especially recommend to all con-
noiseres of these rare luxuries
In conclusion,! would specially call the early
attention of my Southern customers to the advan*
tage to be derived by transmitting their orders
without loss of time, or calling personally at the
depot, in order to insure the fulfillment of their
orders out of the present large and well selected
assortment. UDOLPHO WOLFE,

HOW THE FREEDMEN ARK WORKING.
Throughout the State of Georgia the
freedmen are working well—not quite so
well perhaps as in Florida, nor will they
raise so large a crop in proportion to the
acreage; but they are, generally speaking,
industrious, are well treated and liberally
paid. Heavy rains and consequent inun
dations have considerably damaged their
prospects of a crop.

POVERTY OF THE WHITES.
One of the most melancholy features of
Columbus is the poverty of the white pop
ulation. There were large cotton mills
here, which were destroyed by Wilson’s
cavalry. The operatives to whom they
gave employment have since been in a
state of extreme destitution. On the out
skirts of the town there are, in some cases,
as many as fifteen or twenty huddled to- i
gether in a house, with no bed among j
them. They are not refugees and are not j
freedmen. Will no one establish a bu- 1
rean for their benefit t Columbus is very |
much pulled down by the war, and busi- !
ness is not recovering here so rapidly as
at Atlanta, where the town is being re
built on a scale of handsome architect
