Before giving vour readers a oriel fie- ription of this Country 1 would -av a few word hy way of explana tion of mv sudden departure from Ga. Em charged with fleeing #from debt, which is a base faulshood. Is is true that 1 left some debts unpaid but have not sneaked off in some dark corner to hide my self but on the contrary T am ready to correspond with any cred itor that desires to address me. 1 have no creditor that I am assham ed to meet, and I believe with ordinary luck I can soon be able to pay out, which I nervef codld have done in Ga. My reason for leaving Georgia so abruptly was because 1 knew that my Dear old Mother wlio’s word has always been law with me would have apposed my leaving, and I know I never would have been satisfied until I had seen the lone star “state, I always had a desire to go AYest and I did not know whether I Would be satisfied here or net and it I had not 1 should have returned to old Butts,- 1 have committed no Crifne, unless debt be a crime. If so I think the' majority of Georgians is criminals. I think if I had staid in Georgia and work ed poor land, and bought supplies on time; I would have perished to death in about two years. Now I must say this is the grandest country in the world. It far sur passes the many great accounts that [ had heard of it, I am better pleas ed than I exqeeted to Ire, and I don’t believe that any man who comes tliis country riftd moves back to Georgia will ever be satisfied again. This is h great stock rais ing, as well ns farming country. It is about one-third timber land and balance prairie, and produces from 15,00 to 2,000 lb’s seed cotton per acre, 80 to 60 busheis of corn and Anything that a man will work to make, corn is worth from 25 to 35 ets, meat five cents, there is no system of credit for supplies here; and lam glad if it for you kiiow that has been the ruin of Georgia. There is a great many people here who 1 don t care for anything only wlutt they can make a trading, they cab live easy and vauit noth ing more. If this country was fill ed ! ,f p with such men as you and Air. Wile y Heard and others I could mention, who aspire to have some thing, this would be* the best coiui tfy. oriearth. A’ou can say to those that I owe that I never left to keep from’ pay ing them, but to try and find a place to he more able than Lwgukl have ever been in Georgia. You can’ also testify to the fact that ~the report that I left,..without pafing you or your father anything is a bast 4 f: Ail sell odd, as you know 1 paid it very . .pearly all .and left, means to pay the balance,. - !

It is only after tliT -p ud-imndhed cannon and the murderous musketry have ceased their work that the hideous face of war shows itseLL to x mak(% men shudder and turn away. Soldiers who have not gone over a battlefield or been one of a burial party have missed, half eth grimness and uwfuhiess of war.

Of those nine wort? blown to fragments and others horribly mut fluted. The battery was firing thirty or i>rtv shells per minute, ami tliis was the work of a single one. One discharge oi grape in this same fight hilled fourteen men in a Michigan regiment which went in with 700 men in line and came out with only MOO. On one acre of ground the burial party found over 700 dead men. In a bit of woods where the battle lines had clashed more 2.000 dead Avert* found in a space no wider than a square in a city and no more than three times a long. At the battle of Savage station, dur ing McClellan's change of base, a solid shot fired from a Federal field-piece in fo the head of an infantry column march ing by fours, killed twenty-one men and a horse before its progress was checked.

Perhaps the most destructive Avork made hv a shell among troops occurred a few miles below Vicksburg- A fed eral gunboat av.ts, fired upon by light artillery from the bank, posted in plain voiav.
