THE COUNTRYMAN
TURN WOLD, GA., MAY 3, 1831.
Let our friends remember that they
can not better servo us than by saving
rags for us—for which we will pay
them 10 cts a pound. tf
‘P. W. A.’—We have had the pleas
ure of a visit from our army corres
pondent for several days past, and our
readers will be pleased to learn that
he is fully recruited, and almost re
juvenated, from Ills lecent furlough.
Td fi no health, and elastic spirits, he
left us yesterday for his Spring cam
paign with the Army of Northern Vir
ginia, having selected that field as the
most promising of great results. Our
readers will hear from him as soon as
he arrives on the ground, and we
promise to keep them well informed
of the progress of the war in that
quarter of the Confederacy, if not be
yond it.
Whilst referring to our correspon
dent, it will be a source of gratifica
tion to the public to know that the
general expectation of a work, in book
form, from him on the war, will not
be wholly disappointed. Without
pretending to write a history of oui
struggle for independence—a task of
great gravity, and the materials for
which will only be accessible at a fu
ture day—lie has in contemplation,
and is collecting the. necessary facts
for a book of chronicles, or annals,
setting forth the principal events of
the war, and interspersed witli narra
tives, sketches, anecdotes, and specu
lations founded thereon. His admir
able letters to this journal will be the
foundation of the work ; if published
alone, they would form a volume that
would find a place in every library in
the land. It may not he amiss fco state,
in this connection, another fact not
generally known, viz: that ‘P. W. A.’
3s also the regular correspondent of
the leading journal of Europe, and,
we may add. of the world, and these
letters will also be embodied in the
contemplated book, and add no little
to its interest.-—Sav. Republican,

THE COUNTRYMAN.
PROSPECTUS FOR 1864.
rtnHE proprietor of the above paper takes
J_ pleasure it, informing the public that with
the commencement oI the new volume in Janu
ary, 1864, he will be able to double the pro
portions of his sheet, which will make it the
same size ot (the late) Niles’ National Register,
containing sixteen quarto pages.
The plan and purpose of The Countryman
are similar to those of Niles’ Register, except
that it blends literary and miscellaneous de
partments with a political department.
A new and attractive feature will be added
to our journal—and that is a constant, unre
mitting, and vigorous uefeuce of our farmers,
planters, and other producers against the shafts
of calumny aimed at ttiern by those who de
nounce them as yile extortioners, who .are ta
bs “cured of their characteristic greediness
and meanness.” The planting interest shall
have ONE organ to defend them against the
sinadars which are heaped upon them by so 1
many designing detractors.
The Countryman is published at Turnwo'.d,
near Eatonton, Ga., on the editor’s plantation,
nine miles from town, and is emphatically a
country paper.—Its motto ia “Independent in
Everything—neutral in Nothing.”—It is a com
plete cyclopaedia of the History of the Times—
the War News * (sifted)—Agriculture—Stock-
raising—Fields ports—Wit— Humor —Anecdote
—Tales— Philosophy— Morals—Liberal and.En-
hghtened Religion aa opposed to Sectarian
Creedism— Poetry— Politics— Art— Science—
Useful Recipes— the Industrial and Mechanical
Resources and Pursuits ot the Country—Money
and Market Matters—Literature -General Mis
cellany—in short everything that can amuse,
instruct, or be of use to the general reader—all
put up in a convenient form for binding and
handling, at the low price of $5 for 4 months.
With the late accession to the editorial de
partment, the publisher of The Countryman
flatters himself that his journal will not be ex-1
celled in the Confederacy as a literary, miscel
laneous, ami news weekly.—Address

The Dictionary will contain indications, by
means of simple nomenclature, for writing with
