The Great Pineries of Georgia.
Southwestern Georgia, or in fact ‘I •
alight say all of Southern Geprgia, is a
region which.is as li tie known to the
inhabitants of the Northern “States as ;
tjho Islands of the South Sea. Os the. j
immense extent; n'o one can ‘ form a
correct idea who lias- not himself trav- j
eled over at lea-s-t a portion of it. To 1
the Superficial observer - it. m ight seem |
,as if the whole were- comparatively
worthless. It lias an air of baireriness
(using the word in a restricted, sense)
and desolation,, which strikes the be
holder with awe, and makes him feel
as if he were traversing a different ,
world from that'in which he is ordina
rily accustomed to dwell. For’ hoars
together one may travel’ through the
counties of Appling, Irwin,’ Coffee, ‘
Berrien, Thomas,- etc., ;
without mceting a single innaf;'tant or
seeing a human dwelliug: Ail around .
him spread the apparently boundless :
forests of yellow pine.’ For days to- f
gether he might not find a gingle acre
of ground which he would deem
worthy of cultivation • but on the poor
est tract lie would hoi tail to find huge l
pine trees lifting high up toward the
heavens their straight and stately
trunks. ‘ • . I
Sometimes there are hundreds of
square miles iu extent, where, the !
ground is as level, as the Wes torn
prairies r anon it -is broken into vast)
and winding ravines eireling the.basca ;
of eonlused and . shapeless hills. But j
whether level .or broken, the eternal
pine everywhere-asserts jta supremacy; I.
and he who should elimb to she top’ of !
one of the highest trees, and Took out ■
for the world beyond, would wee upon j
every side, stretching out until mind,
heart and eye were wearied at the
prospect, an ocean -of sombre-* ‘Pine .* I
Some of the counties I have named
arc small States, and I.reuictnber
when 1 was at'Milledgeville last fall,
I was told that in the region 1 am •
speaking of there is a single unbroken !
pine forest which is perhaps larger ‘
than the State of Rhode B land. !
Will this R'gion Always be as Rote ? j
Well now what ? fa this region to i
remain forever untenanted l Is theyc
always to be in South Georgia an un-7
explored and- unknown wilderness ? J
Are deer and. wild’ cats to be. its only- | j
inhabitants? Are net the sounds of
busy industry to be heard there y and j
shall no thriving towns and Rustling !
eities ‘.speak of civilization and free.- ! ;
dvin ? Has God plat ted those bound- j .
less forests only to limit and restrain |
the - progress of his children?. Does j
he mean to give so vast a territory .only ‘
to desolation and solitude ; or shall not |.
man possess tlii's portion of his foot- I
stool also, rear here aloft the monu--j ;
ments of industry ; ■ and make this des-.
ert hlo&som as the rose ?
Heaven, creates nauuht in vain.*—
And here, in this seemingly fruitless- 1
wilderness, are mines of untold wealth.
Here is a boundless source of prosper-,
ityand comfort and power. Here is
an almost limitless field for the em
ployment of capital’. . And in no part
of the. world will- eapital, judiciously
employed, tne’cf with such sure’ and
abundant returns. • .
Ho tc Ts r ealth may. be Made Here. “,
. Well, how? By the conversion
of these million? of stately pine trees
into lumberinto an article which
meets with a ready and remunerative
sale in every part of the world; into
an.article for which even now the:
market is as permanent as for corn
or flour • 1
. Brunswick. ; ’ f
On the southeast coast of Georgia is
situated the.town of Brunswick, which, j
is the natural outlet by which the sup- !
plies of lumber from this vast, region
will reach the outer World, Already
•under the Btimula.trng'influeHce of this I
traffic, the'place is growing into impor
tance. Its harbor is comparatively j
good. A railroad -runs ‘directly from
it to Wa-rcsboro, in Ware county, cross- |
ing the great South-W estern Georgia I
railroad, Which, commencing a-t Savan- :
nah, runs through the. best counties in j
that part of the Stjt'e; is,. I believe,
already finished to Thomasviile . in
Thomas county : and will be extended’
eventually to Bainbridge, in Deca.tor
county, at the head of -navigation upon
Flint river. Another road is project
ed from Macon to Ware’sboro/ which
will traverse the. very heart of some
.of the great plqe forests, and carry tc
all interior Geo.rgia the wealth that in
exchange for lumber, -must -flow
through the-port of Brunswick.
Already there are half a dozen mag
nificent-saw mills in operation- at
Brunswick ; a dozen more being built-;’
and it is said there is already capital
and enterprise enough -in the. place
to have determined upon the erection’
of fifteen or twenty more. The ex
rebel Gen. J. B. Gordon, got-ahead
of all compeditors in this business,
and started a couple of thes.e mills
months ago. He is said to be a man
of fine energies which for four years
j misdirected in waging war against his
! country, are now devoted to the better
j task ot assisting to develop her re
( sources. Other persons have followed
this pioneer. Fortunes destroyed in
the rebellion are rapidly repaired.—

Magnificent Opening for Rorthern
Capital.
Where then is the capital and en
ergy of the. .North ? Why does it not
seek thirf magnificent field of invest
m-ent, and while it trebles and quadru
ples itself, assist in restoring the was.te
. p’aces of the ‘South. .
I don’t knO w what you. ’ pay. itl
[ Cincinnati for’ yellow pmo lumber --
VVJiat is it? ‘ Seventy, seyeflty'fivej
eighty or eighty-five dollars per thou.
| sand ?■ . Certainly not -less’ than, the
. least of these figures.’ See. then,.how,
immensely valuable a few million feet
of this lumber is! - And-let .me tell
you that it is Worth to ‘day from 8.25
to 830, per,thousand on shipboard nt
Jacksonville or Brunswick.- And -all
that is required tci oonvert the pine
logs. Which may be had almost for the
asking-into thin valuable lumber, is a
saw mill,- a good wagon, a team of
stout mules, and a few pair of strong
and willing hands. If-you should-set
np business one month and want to
sell out the next, your capital would
be invested in 6uch articles that you
could dispose- of them in an hour for
all you gave for them.
Advice to Youtig'Men.
’ Let me. ask then for th s region the
attention of Northeasterners, especial
ly of young men. Every day I receive
letters from the latter class inquiring
if I can. tell theta of good situations to
be obtained in the South. .Let’ this
letter.be a response to all which up to
this day 1 have not found tune to an
swer. In the pine regions of South-
Georgia and’ Florida are- the very sit
uations you Want. If you expect sit
uations iti which • you .will not be.
obliged to labor you bad bcttc-r bang
yourselves than come South. There,
are too many idlers of all colors here
now. But if you are willing to work,
join several of you together if you have
not capital dnow, go own to Brunswick
and labor for J. B- Gordon,, or some
body else, until you have enough to
start- a saw mill of .'your own ;and then,.
if you keep your health, prosperity
and. wealth are as certain to crown
your efforts as the Sun to warm your
back upon a clear summer day. .

vr Euglaud the Bii-th Place.of Nul
l'itientioii and Secession.
From a pungent speech recently de
livered by lion. 13. W. Hanna, of In- I
diana, at Louisville, Kentucky, .we
make the following extract:
Nullification was born on the Yery
so 1 of. the same New England States’
whose pulpits are so prolific of anathe
mas against secessionists, and -.whose
men aud. women daily supplicate Al
mighty God for the sweet privilege off
washing .their hands in the blood of
Jefferson Davis,, f Voices That’s
’ so,, that's so,’’’and cheers ] . The his-,
tory of the county.bears me oat in this
‘statement, and no man can successfully
deuy it. Let us tufn over a few pages
and see how. it is.’ •. .•
.1 hold in my hand’ the address pub
lished by the famous convention held
at Hartford, Connecticut, on the. fif
teenth day of January, 1815. Massa
chusetts, New Hampshire, Connecticut,’
Rhode Island and Vermont, were all
represented.in that convention. Among
the names of th’ se who represented’
Massachusetts I see the name cf Sam
• uel Sutntie.r, who most likely at the
same time transmitted his name and’
hi# treason Charles Sumner, the pre
sent Senator of that TLaughter
and applause.] But that was uoUbt
jess before.the Sumner family.had
solved to “ make - treason odious." —
[Great laughter.] II you w'i 1.1 indulge,
me, sir, I will rcad a single ‘extract
from that address :
“ Events, may prove that the causes I
of our calamities are deep and perma- ;
nent. They, may be found tp proceed ‘
not merely from the blindness of pre
judice, pride, of opinion, violence of
party spirit, or the -confusion of the;
times, but. they may. be traced to. im
placable. combinations of individuals,’
.or to Mates, to monopolize power and.
office, and to tramnl.o without remorse I
upon the rights and interests of com
mercial sections of the Union. Xyiien"-
ever it shall appear that these causes!
are radical and. permanent, a separation
by equitable arrangement will be.pre--
ferable to an- alliance by eonstrhint, •
atnoug nominal friends..but veal-cue- j
mies, inflamed by mutual -hatred and
jealousy, ■ and inviting, by intestine)
division'', contempt aud. aggression#
from abroad.”.
Here, sir, the right of a State to se
cede from the Fedetal Union was pro
mulgated in New England as much as I
fifty years ago. ... . . .']

On .Tuesday evening, Mr: Stephens, j
the • Head-Centre off the Irish .Fenian
movement, was-serenaded at his quar- j
ters at the Metropolitan Hotel; in \
Washington, and responded, according j
to the Republican of that city,, in the j
following language :•
Fellow Countrymen : I thank’ ydu, !
and most cordially, for the-compliment j
eonveyed through me, by means of this |
beautiful serenade, to dear old Ireland. ;
It occurs to ine that I might how
throw aside all considerations of -deli- I
eaty,. and speak in unmistakable terms
concerning th j double dyed traitors
who. are -mining the- cause .we hold
nearest our hearts. .
I say, and mark the’ import of my
words, that all Irishmen!.be thdy whom ‘
they may, who ’ are throwing obstacles
in the direct way to our country's lib
eration, ate traitors, 'and are this hour
abhirred, despised, execrated by the.
men in Ireland, and they dare’ not for
their lives sake place a foot on the soil
over whi.ch the gTeen flag should now
in triumph- be waving. The men who
now propose to sell the Irish vote ‘of
this country to political’ demagogue's
are traitors, and I here denounce theih
by name-yßoberts; Gen.-Sweehey, and

A National .Union Convention of at

I gust -nett. Such delegates will bo

in maintaining the Unbroken. Union of
the States under the Constitution
which our forefathers established; and
who-agree in the following proposition, j
viz : ‘‘The Union of the States is in j
every case'.indisso.luble and is perpet- .
.ual, and the Constitution of the United
Slates anu lit* la?,'? passed by Con- j
grcs3 ih pursuance thereof, supreme, f
and constant; and universal in their
obligation. . ....
‘“The rights, the dignity, and.fhe
equality of the States i-n the Union, -
including the right of.- representation
in Congress, are solemnly guaranteed
bv that-Constitution, to” save which*
from overthrow -so much bio.od and
treasure was expchdexl in th.c late civil
war. • “ . ‘
j is no -right anywhere t*o
dissolve the Union, or to seperate
States from tlie Union, either, by a i
voluntary withdrawal by force of arms, )
err by Co.ftgressionpl action—neither
’ by the secession of the States nor by ■
t-he'exclusion of their lpyal and quali.- ■

“Each State - has the undoubted
right to prescribe, the qualifications ‘j
off its own electors, and no external
powers rightfully can or ought to die-,
tate, control or influence- the free and
• voluntary action of the - States in the
exercise of that right.
‘The maintenance inviolate of the
rights of the States, and especially ;
of the right of each State to order and 1
control its own domestic concerns ;
according to its own judgment exclu- ;
s'ively, subject only to the Constitution i
of the United States, is essential to
that ‘balance of power on which the
.perfection and. endurence of our polit
ical fabric depends, and the everthrow
of that-system- by the usurpation and
centralization of power in Congress
would be a revolution dangerous to
republican government and destruct
ive of liberty.
“Each House of Congress is made
by the constitution the sole judge of
the election returns and qualifications
of its members, but the exclusion of
loyal Senators and Representatives,
properly chosen and qualified under
the Constitution and laws, is unjust
and revolutionary. Every patriot

i*rles#r Kl*t * Oder,
. Professor Blot, in a-rocent lecture at
Boston, treated pf making coll'ee. He
said . The best mixture of'coffee would
be.in-these proportions : ‘One pound of.
•Java, two ounces of Mocha, two oun
ces of Rio, and ‘two ol Martinique.
Roasted c ffee must be kept- in a tin
bos and ground freshly every day. It
is extremely difficult to find good coffee’
and it really seems ns if-mefchpnts Con
spired to.make’ it'as bad as possible.’
Moqsicu'r Riot gave a few secrets’ of
the trade, such as watering the coffee
while roasting, that it- may not lose’
.weight, as it diminishes about sixteen
per cent during this operation. Useful
hints in rcgard io selecting and roast-,
ing were given .- Coffee must .never
boil; by so.doing it.docs not gain in
strength, but loses the delicate aroma.
T.he Professor used four tablespoonfuls
of Java and one of Mocha to a quart of
water. The water was boiled, the coffeo
was-moistened with'the boiling water;
at the second .boiling of the water- it
was again poured upon the eoffcC ; it
was allowed, to settle a few .moments,
and it way done The result was- a
liquid as clear as spring water. Rye
coffee, must seldom be employed.-—.
When coffee can-not be obtained, a very
good substitute cau be found'-iir wheat;
pound and roast and prepare like coffee.-
IIov) ‘ to . Cook .a : Bcefatralc.—rS.
beefste'ak .'ought always to be broiled,
and fried; but the’ following method of
cooking is recommended by Mrs. Sut* .
ton,’ which even’ those wlio are nccus*
tomed to frying may be willing to try
“Ihe frying-pan being wiped vOry
dry, place it upou'tbe stove'and let it.
become hot—very lirt. Irr the. mean
time'mangle the steak—if it chance’to
be surloin', so much'the better —pepj er
and salt it, fhen lay it on the -hot, dry
pan, which instantly coyer as tightlv as
| possible. When tlie raw flesh touches.
the heated pan, of course it and
! adheres to it, but in a few seconds it
| becomes loose.nd and juicy.- Every half
; minute turn the steak; but'be careful
! to keep it as much as possible- under
cover.. When nearly done lay asmall ‘
: piece of butter upon it'; and if you
j want much gravy, add a tablespoonful.
iof strong -coffee. In t-lirce minutes
from'the time the steak first goes into
i the pan it is ready for the table. This
: method of cooking makes the most
delicious, delicately broiled steak, fu]l
of juice, yet retaining the healthy
beefy flavor that any John Bull could
require. . •
j “The same method may be applied’
jto mutton chops, only they require a.
little longer cocking to prevent .them
from being rare. An excellent gravy
may he made from them by adding a
little cream, thickened with a pinch of
i flour, into which, when off the Jire and
partly cool, stir in the yelk of an egg;
well beaten.’’
