(fbom the Brunswick ntntkLo.) SOUTHERN GEORGIA We are constantly receiving letters, asking for information respecting the lands, produc tions, and health of Southern Georgia, which we propose to answer in a general article; as to reply to each seperntely would take more ■ time than we can spare. Almost every one knows that among the 1 reasons why Southern Georgia—the wire grass | country, as it was called, in derision —did i*ut receive its quota of population at an earlier day, was the current belief among the majority of the people of the State, that from its south ern latitude and low, level lands it was neces sarily unhealthy; that cultivatahle spots were tu> few and far between that the majority of drawers of lots did not, at the time of drawing, consider them worth the expense of the grant. This idea has prevailed till very lately ; in deed within a year or two R. R. Cnyler, Esq., has pronounced almost the entire section to lie a Detert. But a wonderful change is being produced by that most potent of teachers, ex perience. The eibibition, by scattered settlers, of extraordinary crops, on nntnnu tired and ap parently poor soil, and the healthful counte nance* of the population, are rapidly dispelling the former delusion. The great agency in bringing this section of the country into favorable notice has lieen the Brunswick & Florida Rail Road, giving hope I of a speedy and easy communication with a market at Brunswick. This enterprise at tracted the attention of capitalistsand land spec ulators, who have, through their agents, thoroughly explored the country. The favorable report* of these agents have greatly surprised their principals, and have gradually worked their way to the minds of a large number of persons who are looking hither for u profitable investment and a desirable residence. This en terprise also aroused the apprehension of sa gacious minds in Savannah; caused inquiry . and discussion there, and the dissemination of information among the people: excited the commercial jealousy and spirit of her mer chants, and finally brought into existence the Savannah, Albany dr Gulf aud the Main Trunk Roads —neither of which, in their present as- i liect, would at thi* time have been conceived j mt for the Brunswick & Florida Rail Road. In the remark* we purpose making at this time we shall confine oursellf to the country east of the Alapaha. Nearly ail this section of country is heavily , timbered by the rich Georgia Pine, so valuable in the Northern mid European market*. By it* various streams—the Altai n alia, bounding Wayne and Appling on the north ; the Great and Little Satillas. extending through Camden, forming half the eastern boundary of Charlton, and penetrating Wayne and Ware; the St. Mary’s, skirting the southern boundary of Cam den'and the north-eastern of Charlton; and the Alapaha rivers, forming the western boun daries of Clinch and Ware, these counties have the means of rafting timber to market. It is true, these are tedious and circuitous routes, and liable to the interruptions, dangers and delay, by freshets and droughts, incidental to river navigation—but rail roads are now pene trating, or about to [>enetrate them. The Main | Trunk starts from the corner of Wayne, Ware and Appling (also the western terminus of the i 8. A. & G. Road.) and extends sonth-westward iv to the vicinity of Waresboro, and thence westwardly, a little north of Trottpville, to Thomasville and Bainbridge. The Brunswick and Florida Rail Road, having its eastern ter ininns at Brunswick, with the most magniti- i cent harbor on the southern seaboard, where ' vessels of the largest clan can come to within a few feet of the Rail Road—extends west wardly, dividing Glynn and Wayne, and will connect with the Main Trunk, when that road reaches it, in the vicinity of Waresboro; from ' thence it will diverge sontli-westwnrdly, and ' fmss diagonally through Clinch to the Florida I ine. These Roads are now on such a footing | as to leave no doubt of their speedy comple tion. The Macon and Brunswick Road can not long remain an uncertain thing—the busi ness of the State needs it, and the people will have it shortly. This Road will pass through ! Appling diagonally. So fur as facilities are concerned, then, these counties are about to lie placed on as favora ble a footing as any in the State. They w ill then increase more rapidly in popubiiioji, ami their lands be greatly enhanced in value. Both these transitions are now In progr * p filia tion is llowiug in, mid lauds that a tew years ago were bought at to SSO gt p fol now command from S2OO to $2,0u0. An old resident of Ware—a gentleman of education and intelligent*!, who also has a splen did plantation, thus speaks nt' Ware—and from our inquiries we find that his remarks are equally applicable (u Appling, Cauulen, Ac.— There is no land in Buiithern Georgia that yields more freely and bountifully to good hus bandry, It produoe* the Sea Island Cotton to perfection, making a flop silky Staple, (ttnrna nuref) will average about two hundred pounds elean lint opr acre, The land lying on the river and large creeks js high and level, with a beautiful pine forest, and AS fine timber as any in Georgia. This land also produces well and makes fine cotton And com. Com next to cotton, takes precedence in the scale of crops, being well adapted to the toil, furnishes the largest amount of nutritive food for man and beast; and where due re gard is paid to culture, produces from 20 to 30 bushels per acre, Oats grow well, yielding from 20 to 80 bush 61s per acre. Riee grows well in many places, but is only planted, as yet, on a small scale. Feas of all varieties grow well, and appear very productive; they are hardly ever gather ed, except for seed; they are generally used as a fertiliser, and as food to fatten hog*. Potatoes of every description grow well here. The sweet potato? produce, from 800 to 000 bushels per acre, The Irish potatoe makes fihe large and mealy tubers. Garden vegetables of every deecription grow Well. Every variety of fruit that grows in the South can be made here. The grape, peach, apple, and all the varieties of plums, grow finely Sngar cane grows well, making fine bright sugar, and produces a rich, pure syrup. As regards health, I can speak without fear of contradiction, having practiced medicine State here tor the last twenty years. Indeed the country has been so healthy that I have been obliged to abandon the practice, (in part.) and t' lrn niy attention to planting for a living.— Billions fever is not known here, there being no cause to create it. Chills and fever, of the mildest kind, only are known here, and they ate very limited. Our swamps create no efflu via or miasmata of any kind; consequently the country is obliged to be healthy. If nothing else proved this fact, the number of children raised lhere must prove that fact. There is no section of Georgia, in proportion that has so many healthy children. This being a tine grating country, cattle are raised here without any other expense than the trouble of gathering them in the spring in order to mark and brand the calves. Hog* are very etnHy raised in thi. country, requiring no food except to keep them gen tle. Longerity.— The people of this section being 1 the hardy and laboring class, live to a good old ! age, say from 70 to 100 years. In fact I knew j one man whose age was a hundred and fifteen 1 when be died. Another gentleman, long a citizen of Clinch. 1 thus writes respecting that country : First, the general character is such that, up on a first view, one would suppose it almost worthless. It is very level, covered with pine, palmetto and grass, with many cypress and bay ponds, many of which are easily drained, and when drained, very productive. Many of the pine lands also appear to he too low for cultivation ; which may easily be cul tivated by cutting a few light ditches to allow the water to escape during an abundance of rain. The pine tirnlier is generally good. As a grazing country it is not to tie surpassed.— Ami the palmetto often liears a mast sufficient to fatten all the hogs in the country. As to the health of the country, it is Incred ible to tell, as there has scarcely been a case of billious fever, and there is no prevailing dis ease. The inhabitants are strong and healthy, and live to a good old age. The lands are generally sandy, with clay or black sand for a foundation; and produce about two hundred pounds of Sea Island lint, twenty bushels corn, three hundred bushels sweet potatoes, two thousand pounds sugar, fifty or sixty bushels of oats, or from seventy five to one hundred bushels of rice per acre.— We produce a syrup as pure, as good and rich to the taste, as Stewart's refined New York syrup, and sell it from thirty to forty cents per gallon. Melons, pens, and fruit, of various kinds, grow luxuriantly. Casava also grows finely, and yields an abundance of fine white starch. We have an abundance of game, such as deer, turkey, Ac. The sea breeze, which rises abont nine o’- clock in the morning, and lasts until about I midnight, prevents the climate from becoming too warm, and renders the nights very pleas- ; ant; and in winter the cold north wind (as j one may readily perceive from a map of the I States) has to pass nearly across the continent S before reaching this section; consequently it become* comparatively mild, which favors the growth of the Florida orange. I A person travelling through Ware, Appling and Camden, informed hi* employer that he saw bodies of laud worth SSO per acre—and | yet at that time they could be bought for a very small sum. It is quite probable that in 1865, lands that can now lie bought at from $1 to $3 per acre, will command $8 to sl2. JEALOUSY. ■ BY MAKGAHET Yes, Harry is jealous, lam sure of it. lam writing by the table, and of course cannot see anything that is going on around me. Yet this thing 1 am snre of, that Harry and Minnie have been quarrelling; that Minnie has tapped her little toot on the hearth-rug, examined the rosy nails of each slender hand attentively, and that Harry has whistled Yankee Doodle with j all his might, looking out from under his long brown lashes, to see how his indifference affect ed Minnie. Now Minnie takes a book and turns over the leaves carelessly, stopping to hum a tune that one of Harry’s rivals is exceedingly fond of. Harry yawns. Minnie keeps on humming the air without looking up, and now goes for her writing desk. Opens it, and takes out a huge white envelope, superscribed in a bold, beau tiful hand —blushes a little and takes pains that Harry see*. Every nerve in his body is awake; he glares his great brown eyes at Min nie ; he looks as though he would devour her. Minnie take* just the daintiest sheet of paper out of her desk, and commences writing—oh, so neatly and so nicely. She never took so much pain* when she wrote to Harry—never, : not she; and she hopes Harry will understand it. He does understand it, bites his lips, strokes | his moustache, and set* his teeth together.— 1 Now he );|te|ie» about in his chair; puts his' feet on an ottoman; now kicks the ottoman over and gets up out of his chair altogether. Miliilie smiles; Harry goes to the window. Why don't he sit down, and not dunce of him self? Why don’t he take it coolly, set before the tiro and rend his newspaper, instead of pleasing the little coquette of a Minnie by his uneasiness? What tools men are? If 1 live, lie is half-looking over her shoulder this min ute ? Sit down, you I: pe. and not make u whirl wind ot yourself. .Minnie draw* hers,!' up like a little queen, as Hany glances at her writing—arches lier neck, and curls her tvi lip* as though he had insulted her, and writhes into hi* chair again. Minnie writes faster than ever, and Harry watches her. Now she hail finished, and is fumbling abont in her desk after something.— Yes, a pair of scissors—what can she want of them? Clip, and off goes one of her brown curls, Harry starts upon his feet; smothers into a growl the angry words upon his tongue; site down again, and again kicks over the otto man, “ Would you like to read my letter, Mag gie ?” I read it. “ What a nice letter it is," I exclaimed, giv ing it back to her. I wish I could say something to comfort Har ry, I might, if—if—l wasn't a woman, just like Minnie. " He understands French, then ?” I say to Minnie. "O, yes, he is a fine French scholar,” she answers, placing her brown curl within the folds of the letter. Harry hops up again, and sits down as quick ly- Minnie commences putting her desk in or der. Wipes her pen, shuts down the cover of her stand, replaces her scissors, paper and en velopes. Harry sighs : gracious what a sigh! for all the world like the puff of a steam en gine 1 Minnie takes np her writing desk and a lamp, bends down her red lips for a kiss, and says: "Good night, Maggie.” Now she is gone. Harry sighs, long, loud, and deep, and glances at me. I hope I don’t smile, though it would be ju»t to me. Now he is out of his chair again, and coming towards me. “ Maggie, tell me, in the name of misery, tell me who Minnie wrote that letter to I” -v as $ MACOX, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, MAY 6. IX.AB. “What are you thinking about? I betray Minnie’s confidence? You are insane!” “ But, Maggie, tell me, if you have any re gard for me! Was it Frank Warren ?” “ No.” “ Charles Stetson!" “ No.” “ David Webster?” a No.” “ That miserable French teacher I” “ No, no.” “ Who was it, then? “ I have a great mind to tell you—no, no, I musn’L” “ Yes, do let Jme know. Minnie shall nev er hear of it.” “Well, it was—put your ear close to my mouth—it was—” “ Who?” “ It was—don’t hurry me—it was—was—” “ Who ?” please Harry. “ It—it—w-a-s—” “ Who?” he fairly groans. “It was—yes, it was—” “Who?” he thunders. “ It was— her sinter !" “ The deuce it was!” “Ha! ha! ha! ho! ho! ho!” I am alone; my ears are ringing with some thing like a sound boxing. Hurry has just slammed the outside door, fiercely enough to jar the whole house, and jumped out on the sidewalk with force enough to dislocate his an kle bones. Whew! what fools the men are!— Amer. Union. LOSING ALL A FAMILY SCENE. There is something exceedingly tender as well as instructive, in the following, which we take from the Child's Paper: A few days sgo, a merchant failed in business. He went home one evening in great agitation. “What is the matter?” asked his wife. "I am ruined ; lam beggared. I have lost my all!” he exclaimed, pressing his hand upon liia fore head ns if his brain were in a whirl. "All!” said his wife; “I am left.” “All, papa!’’said his eldest boy; “here ain I.”— "And I too, papa,” said his little girl, running np and putting her arms around bis neck.— “I’s not lost, papa,” repeated little Eddie. “And you have your health left," said bis wife. “And your two hands to work with, papa." said his eldest, "and I can help you.” -‘And your two feet, papa, to carry you about.” “And your two eves to see with, papa,” said little Eddie. “And you have God’s promises,” said grand mother. “And a good God," said the wife. "And heaven to go to,” said his little girl. "And Jesus who came to fetch us there,” said his eldest. "God forgive me,” said the poor merchant, bursting into tears. “I have not lost my all. What are the few thousands which I have call ed my all, to these more precious things which God has left me? ’ and he clasped his family to his bosom, and he kissed his wife and chil- I dren with a thankful heart. Ah no, there are many things more precious j than gold and bank stocks, valuable as they may be in their place. When the Central A meriea was foundering at sea. bags and purses of gold were strewn about the deck as worth less as the merest rubbish. “Life, life!” was the prayer. To some of the wretched survi vors, "Water, water ■” was theory. "Bread, bread!" it was worth its weight i« gold, if gold could have bonght it. The loss of property must not cloud the mind with a wicked forgetfulness of the greater blessings which are left behind. No man should despair, for no man has lost his all until he has lost his integrity, lost the mercy of God, and lost bis hope of heaven at last. Brutes Love Men More than Women.— A writer in the Atlantic Monthly, for March, puts it thus: Kate, the other day, was asserting a wife's right to the control of her own property, and incidentally advocating the equality of the sex es—a touchy point with her. I pnt in— “ Tell me then, Kate, why animals form stronger attachments to men than women.— Your dog, your parrot, ami even your cat al ready prefer me to you. How can you account for it, unless you allow there is more in us to respect and love.” "I account for it,” said she, with a most de cided nod, “by affinity. There is more affinity between you and brutes.” Sheridan bought a large quantity of wine of his merchant. “ I will owe you the amount,” he said, when the bill was presented, “if it is agreeable to you.” “Oh certainly, certainly, Mr. Sheridan, as long as you choose, sir.” Some time elapsed, the creditor grew im patient and threatened his debtor with a writ. "Why, how the devil can I pay you, sir,” said Richard Brinsley, “and keep to your agreement? It was understood that I should owe you, and how can I possibly owe you if I pay you the money ?” C. P BEMAN D D. The Monroe Register, published in Ouachi ta Parish, Louisiana, by R. W. Jemison, Esq., formerly of this State, contains the following notice of Dr. Beman, who is doubtless well known to many of our readers: Our sanctum was honored a day or two ! since by the presence ot no less a jiersonage than Rev. C. r. Beman, the first President of Oglethorpe University, Georgia—and doubt less the most distinguished School Teacher in the South. For at least 40 years he has been engaged ill his unostentatious but most impor . tant profession, and never did any man more 1 folly hit upon his own pecnlar development than be upon his. In Georgia his name is a | house-hold word, and for the last 30 years I there are few prominent men in that State who ■ have not lieen for a longer or shorter lime un der his charge. Many men there be, who have made more noise in the world than he, but few. very, whose influence have been more felt, and that too, for good, His pupils num bered by thousands, are scattered all over the South and particularly the South-western States. As a disciplinarian, peculiarly fitted to curb and tutor the fiery spirits of Southern boys, be has probably no equal. Many, full many, are the curses which bays have heaped upon the head of Ohl Reytan. But then he has the prond reflection —that when the sober years of manhood arrive, bis pupils ail enter tain for him a regard, little, if any, short of fil ial affection. Such a man M be, is a benefac tor of mankind and an honor to his race. Forest Lxavx* fob Hot Beus. —lt may be well to remind readers that leaves from the forest (especially of oak trees.) are of great service to foii 'kith stable manure for hot beds, in the proportion of one third or one half if the manure is’ short, as a means of prolong ing the period of fermentation and h*at. Some care and judgmetrt is neceteary in mixing the materials, to secure the proper degree of mois ture so as to favbr the ferrnentive process, and not have the pile become dry after a time as it will sometimes do. >1 leaves or mwh straw is incorporated in it. A NOVEL RACE. A novel race took place at BL Thomas, Can. ada, on Tuesday last, between a blooded race horse and a locomotive. The horse is decided to be a very fast nag, and so is the locomotive, *nd both were well trained to the track.— The arrangements between the betting parties were that the horse should be at bis starting place when the locomotive came up even, and the word “go” should be given, when away they went under whip and steam. The judges declared the horse the winner by one-halt length. The bet was SSO a side, and the dis tance eighty rods. Mixistikial CouitTKsr.—The Bpringfield Re publican says that a piquant correspondent ha* just passed between two clergymen, in a city where considerable religious awakening has taken place. In substance the correspondence ran as follows: Baptist to Methodist Clergyman.—Dear Bro ther—l shall baptize some converts to-morrow. If any of your converts prefer to be baptized In our rnoiie, I shall be happy to baptize them as candidates for your church. Methodist to BaptistClergyman.—Dear Bro ther. Yours received. I prefer to wash my own sheep. THREE MEN DROWNED. The Constitutionalist contains the followihg account of an accident which occnred a few days ago, some miles above Angusta: “One of the pole boats owned, by Mr. McCurry, who resides, we believe in Elbert co., and which ! bad been employed in conveying cotton and other produce to this market, and also for the j puT|>ose of transporting goods and merehan- I diae to persons residing <n the river, was cap- ! sized by coming iW collision with a rock in a very swift running portiot of the stream. A man by the name of Masts*, and two negro men were drowned. Goois to the value of about two thousand dollars were lost. “It is stated that the jersons who were ! drowned were active and txpert swimmers, : and the only person on the bott whose life was saved was a man totally unable to swim ; but was fortunate in obtaining a plmk or some oth. er buoyant article, ond reached the shore,” DRY GOODS AT WHOLESALE.
