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.

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- has forfeited my confidence.

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- thus ^ _ file- land in Macon, Houston and Sumter conn- p| a ce.

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.

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. HOWELL COBB.
