Our Konthcrn Letter.
From the Red Bank, (N. J.,) Standard, of
August 18, ’82.
Mr. Editor :—Thanking you for your
kindly interest in Georgia, I will endeavor
to respond to your request for me to say
notices | something in regard to its productions,
.n l su 'ject to lln ,j the occupations of the people, al
though I must frankly admit feeling incipa-
ble of doing justice to the “Empire State
of the South.”
I will divide the State into three divis
ions—.Northern, Middle and Southern, the
State being about three hundred miles
deep from the sea coast to its northern
boundry, this will give me one hundred
miles to each belt, t'ie width of the State
from east to west being about two hun
dred and fifiy miles. Taking north Geor
gia first, its surface is rolling to mountain
ous, with intervening flatlands and valleys,
where all kinds of grain are grown, the
same maturing to perfection, and although
le3s cotton is cultivated in this belt thau
in the others, yet it has been grown exten
sively and successfully. This is a fine
fruit section, producing the apple,
peach, cherry, with grapes and the small
fruits in profusion, mainly agricultural.
Still it is the manufacturing section of
Georgia ; the manufactures consisting of
iron and cotton mills; in this section the
finest iron ore is found in abundance, as
weil as gold, silver and precious stones.
The climate is pleasant in summer and
tuild in winter, with little snow fall.
Taking middle Georgia next, the lands
are rolling to hilly in some sections, with
areas of level land. Here cotton is princi
pally raised, and corn and wheat are ex
clusively cultivated ; tobacco also can be
grown successfully. In the fruit Hue the
apple, pear, peach and grape do splendid,
and almost tile whole catalogue of small
fruits are cultivated abundantly. lu Darts
of this belt tlie heavily timbered pine lands
are the home of the turpentiue and rosin
industry, while extensive 6aw mills turn
out the finest lumber for export, which
finds its way to Savannah and Brunswick
for shipment.
South Georgia, stretching from the Sa
vannah river on the east to the Chatta
hoochee on the west, is truly the garden
spot of the State, taking its mild climate
and bemilropical skies, and urodnetions in
view. Principally, its productions are
cotton, rice, corn, sugar cane, tobacco and
sweet potatoes. Formerly tobacco was
extensively raised, but our planters have
mostly dropped it. except little patches
around the house for home use. Cotton
atitbcorn is the grea; staple. In fruits we
have the peach, apple, pear and grape ; the
two first do not thrive here a3 well as in
middle or.upper Georgia, and the pear and
grape do well however, and the strawberry
is at home in our soil. 1 would especially
meniiou the fig. all varieties, thriving with
out culture or trouble. In regard to rice,
the xtensive cultivation once carried on
near Savannah and in the Ogeechee hot.
toms is considerably less, although a large
interest is still Btaked in the cultivation
there. A network of seaislande extends
along the coast frtftt the Savannah River
to the Florida line, and thes“ islands are a
very paradise for fine fruits and semi-tiopi-
cal products. Here the tea plant and the
olive tree thrive, although I have reason
to think the tea plant will do well in any
part of this lower section. At my odw
home in Bainbridge, Decatnr county the
extreme southwest county, we have a tea
plant eight feet high by seven
and a half feet spread of the
branches, that is very thrifty, bearing
ts several crops of leaves every year.
This plant was set out in ordinary sandy
soil, and is some eight years old, and has
never suffered from heat or cold and has
not been cared for. The forest trees in
this lower belt are principally pine, with
oak, cypress, cedar, gum. bay, magnonia
and some palmettos, with other kinds.
Cottou mills are also found prospering in
this section, and the Immense pine forests
causes the tu-pentine and rosin industry
to be very extensive and continually
growing, also an immense business is
done in lumber, as the lower divission i*
well doted with saw mills, the lumber
finding an exit through the ports of
Savannah, Brunswick and Darien. Much
attenton is now paid, also in this section,
to raising cattle for shipment, the winters
being mild and the range unlimited, cat-
tie arc little or no trouble. Much interest
is also manifested by the planters in sheep
raising, and the stock is constantly im
proving in quality, and the wool is an
important item with us. The land is fiat
with some rolling sections, sandy in some
areas with alternate s ctions of red and
yellow clay; the price of land varying from
one to five dollars per acre. The negro is
our laborer, and we are satisfied he is the
best we can get, •
The climate in this section of Georgia
is delightfully tempered in the eastern
sections by the warm south Atlantic winds,
and in the western division by the winds
from the Gult of Mexico, and in summer
the thermometer seldom goes above, 90,
and in the winter seldom below 32. The
winter of 1881 and 1882 was remarkable
for its mildness, green figs being on the
trees the entire winter. On the Hue of
the Savannah. Florida and Western Rail
road, much attention is paid to the raising
of early vegetables, with melons and straw-
berrses for the northern markets by garden
ers, and in time I predict this will be a
great addition to South Georgia's wealth.
This section is comparatively undeveloped
Iu my owu county we have indicaions of
rich deposits of mica and phosphate rojk,
and valuable deposits of iron ore crop out
at ordinary water ntaik on the banks of the
Flint river, near Bainbridge, together with
veins of kaolin and valuable clays, which
will be turned into great value at Borne
future day.
Thus, Mr. Editor, we have in Georgia a
land blessed in most every prospect, and
there is plenty of room too for the settler
who comes with us to build up, and I as
sure you a Southern hearty and sincere
welcome, awaits him. T. J. W.

Properly ofTomato I.eaves.
“I planted a peach orchard,” writes M.
Story, of the Society of Horticulture of
France,“and the trees grew well aud strong
ly. They had just commenced to bud
when they were invaded by the curcuilo
(pulyon), which inseats were followed, as
frequently happens, by nnts. Having cut
3on.e .tomatoes, the idt-a occured to me
that by placing some of the leaves around
the trunks and braches of the peach trpes,
I might preserve them from the rays of
the sun, which are very powerful. My sur
prise was great upon the following day to
find the trees entirely free from their ene
mies. not one remainieg, except here aud
there where a curled leaf prevented the to
mato from exercising its influence. These
leaves I carefully unrolled, placing upon
them fresh ones from the tomato vine with
the same result of banishing the hist insect
and enabling the trees to grow with luxur
ianen. Wishing to carry still further my
experiment, I steeped in water some leaves
of the tomato and sprinkled with this in
fusion other plants, roses and orange. In
two days these were also free from the iu-
nuberable insects which covered them, and
I felt sure that had I used the same means
with my melon patch I should have met
with the same result. I therefore deem it
n duty I owe to the Society of Horticul
ture to make known this singular and use
ful property of the tomato leaves which I
discovered by the merest accident.
A Marvel in IN’orthern Eyei<
Baltimore Son.
Oue of the marvels of Saratoga is a
couple from the South, who have be“n re
gular visitors for fourteeu seasons. These
two have been married twenty.four years,
but the wife still addresses her husband
as. “dear” and he stiU calls her “darling”
and is quite as attentive and deferential to
her as he i* to the wives of other men.
They are both affable and sociable, fond of
company, but they always are together and
enjoy everything in common. The weary
husbands who are always inventing some
excuse to avoid attendance on thi ir fami
lies look at him with unbounded curiosity
and surprise, while she is gazed at with
unconcealed etwy by her less fortunate
sisters. I must not omit" to add. however,
that this lady is wonderfully preserved both
as to face and figure, dresses richly and iu
good taste, and her husband can take as
much pride in her charms as when she
was a coy maiden, twenty-five years ago.
Perhaps if she had lost her beauty and
freshness—but I will not *upoil this little
edyl.
Nashtille, August 29.--A Mem
phis special to the American reports a
strange story, which comes from the
Eastern portion of Shelby county, of a
woman being struck dumb while giving
false testimony. The facts as related,
are as follows: last Friday a
colored man named Chutes Price was
on trial before ’Squire Allen, a justice
of the peace, who has an office on the
Macon rtMd, between Germantown and
Bartlett, Tennessee. Price had been
beating a number of women in the
neighborhood, and Isabella Jackson, a
colored woman, was placed on the wit
ness stand to tell what she knew of the
matter. She began her evidence, but
was soon after asked by the Judge ;
Do you not know you are lying ?”
She answered : “Yes. sir.” These were
the last words Isabella Jackson ever
spoke. She had appeared quite inde
pendent, and to some extent impudent
when first pat upon the stand. After
her last remark a number of questions
were asked, but the woman made no
reply. Believing her to be shaming the
Judge ordered Constable W. H. Allen
to escort the witness from the court
room, but when ordered to follow that
officer she did not move. Two men
of berown color were then told to car
ry her out of the room. While in the
act of carrying out the woman it was
observed that she was in a helpless con
dition. She had been paralyzed in
every part. Her limbs were motion
less, her tongue had no power and it
soon became apparent to all present
that the hand of the Almighty
had been laid heavily upon her.
For two hours or thereabouts the wo
man remained in this passive state,
after which she was placed in a wagon
aud conveyed to her home. She never
moved or spoke after, but on Satur-
ovening sbe expired, no antidote
applied during the interval having
availd in affording the slightest relief.
The incident is varified by Esquire
Allen, before whom the woman appear
ed, and also by a number of persons
present at the time of its occurence.
A Curious Trio ofGraves.
In a cemetery near Boston. Mass, is a
curious trio of graves, those of a man and
his two wives. On the gravestone to the
centre of the inscription. ‘He was mine.”
The stone to the left hand had also ahaud
directed towards the middle mound, with
the words: “He was mine also.” In the
middle lay the remains of the “lord” him
self, and upon the headstone was "Carved
two hands,reaching in either direction as if
to clasp the other two. Above them were
the significant words: “They were both
mine.”
It is 8sid that if you have presence of
mind enough to face a raging bull and look
straight into bis eyes he is powerless to do
you harm. We tried this experiment once
and fouud it worked admirably. The
fierce animal tore the groaod with his feet
and bellowed with all his might; but
something seemed to hold him back like
magic and he did us no injury. Perhaps
we ought to add, in order to be correct
historically, that the bull was on the other
side iff the fence. We never try an exper
iment of that kind without taking the
proper precautions beforehand.
Doa’t Tarnish Church Seats.
There was the queerest scene at one
of the churches on a recent Sunday,
says the Milwukee Sun. It seems that
during the recent vacation the seats
had been newly varnished, and some
how the varnish was not right, as it
was terribly sticky. You know when
you pull anything off of sticky varnish
that it cracks. Well, the audience had
all got seated, when the minister got up
to give out the hymn, and as the base
ment of his trousers let loose of the
varnish of his chair theie was a noise
like the killing of a fly on the wall with
a palm leaf fan. The minister looked
around at the chair to see if he was all
present and that no guilty man’s pants
had escaped, add read the hymn. The
choir rose with a sound of revelry, and
after the tenor had swallowed a lozenge
and the tenor bad coughed np a piece
of frog, and the alto had hemmed, and
the soprano had shook out her polo
naise to see if the varnish had showed
on the sooth side, the audience beg in
to rise. One or two deacons got up
first, with sounds like picket fireing in
the distance on the eve of battle; and
then a few more got up, and the rat
tling of the unyielding varnish sounded
as though the fighting was becoming
more animated, and then the whole
audience got on its feet at once with a
sound of rattling musketry. The choir
sang “Hold the Fort.” When the
orchestra had concluded the people sat
down gingerly, the services were short,
and all went home praying fur the man
who had painted the Seats.

Said an Austin teacher to one of the
highest pupils:
“If your father gave you a basket of
peaches to divide between yourself and
your little brother, and there were forty
peaches in the basket after you had taken
vour share, what would be left?”
“My little brother would be left, for I’d
take all the peaches. That's the kind of a
congressman I’m going to be when I grow
an.”
Clara Belle says: “I know a girl who
prided herself on the deftness with which
she could embroider iu the presence of her
chief suitor without even disclosing to him
that the garment all cleverly bunched in
her lap was of the trousers species.” That
may be true, Clara, but the day wifl come
some time when that same suitor (if he
seems to suitor) will run around the house
to club a cow out of the yard and the
clothes line will take him under the chin,
and the two departments of that same
garment will clasp him around the neck
and he —ill wish he was dead.

Our unusually quiet village Was con
sidcrably excited a few days ago over
the performance of a “friend and
brother,” known in this commnnily
•‘the red negro.” About two weeks ago
this negro made his appearance in our
midst claiming to be a Catholic Priest.
His peculior dress, a red uniform with
yelliw gown, attracted crowds of ne
groes wherever he went, and it soon
became evident that there was some
mischief brewing. Last Tuesday
was reported that he would speak to
the negroes at the negro church about
one mile east of our village that even
ing, and some of our cit izens determin
ed to hear him and find out what he
was after. Accordingly at the appointed
time they repaired to the church where
they found quite a large crowd of ne
groes assembled, listening to, and vocif
erously applauding the incendiary ut
terance of the said “Priest” He told
them he was a native of Tennessee, but
had been living for the last ten years
in the North. That he belonged to
the Garfield and Arthur club, and bad
been sent down here with three hun
dred others, to organ'ze them into
companies and otherwise prepare them
for the reception of the arms which the
people of the North would furnish at
the proper time. That the Democrats
must be killed out and their property
divided among them—the negroes.
That this country properly belonged to
the negroes and they must have it
That the negro women had been at the
wash-tub for tho white women long
enough : that the time had come for
change. That the people of the
North would back them, and Sherman’s
army was ready to come to their assist
ance whenever they made the strike.
This and many other foolish things ho
told them. And it is said that at all
his allusions to killing out the Demo
crats. dividing the property and put
ting the white women to the washtub,
they would cheer and yell like hyenas.
You can imagine, Mr. Editor, the
excitement such utterances would
cause in our community. At one time
it looked as if Judge Lynch would hold
court that night in spite of all that
could be done, but wiser counsel finally
prevailed. T. J. Martin, Esq., issued a
warrent for the arrest of the incendiary
and he was sent to Columbiana anil
lodged in jail.
