Railroad Company of Gear gia haviug in connection with the State Agricultural Society, organized a State Bureau of Immigration and placed me in charge of the same, I would ask your co-operation in carry ing out its pluns, which are substan tially as follows: WHAT IT MOPOSES TO DO. In order to a: first call the alten tion of people seeking new homes, it is proposed to publish a monthly eight-page paper, to be called the “The Southern Empire,“ in which will be given a general description of the agricultural, mineral, timber, and manufacturing resources of the state, together with such statistics as may prove valuable and interesting. In addition to this general description, each county will be asked to furnish a brief description of its advantages and inducements to settlers, its pro ducts, woods, minerals, price of lands, etc., so as to give every locali ty an interest in the movement and a fair showing in the benefits that may accrue. Of course, uo one issue can contain alt this information, but each issue will contain a description of several counties indifferent see tions of the .State. There will also be published a condensed list of lands for sale in different sections of the State, so as to show whet farms and timber land can actually be purchased for. A department of the paper will be devoted to answer ing inquiries of people from other States who are looking toward Geor gia with a view to making it their home. From 5 000 to JO,000 copies of this paper will be printed each montn, and they will be mailed to the addresses of farmers and others throughout the Northern States. Through the influence and efforts of the Centra! road, low rat* s will be secured for land seekers in small par ties, and every'opportunity be afford ed them to examine the country. Ex cursione will be organized from time to time, and every advantage taken of low rates to induce homo seekers to come down and see the advantag es we offer. Correspondence will be opened and kept up with persons at a number of points throughout the North; circulais, papers and pam phlets mailed to parties who are known to be desirous of changing their residence, and every effort male to attract attention to our States, In order to protect land seekers from imposition and annoyance, a land ageut will be appointed in each county, who will prepare a list of lands, with full descriptions and terms of sale, and each intending buyer will be given a card of intro duction to the agent of the county be proposes to visit. These agents will report to the manager of the bu reau each Bale made, who to, and at what price, so that a recordpnay be made and kept of all settlers. A special,car, handsomely decorat ed, will be fitted up, and in it will bo placed a condensed exhibit of the products of Georgia—agricultural, mineral, woods and manufacturing. This car will be sent North next fail and the exhibit shown at the various Stale and district fairs, and at the same time there will be distributed such pamphlets, circulars and papers as the counties may contribute, thU3 affording each locality an excel lent means of advertising its resour ces. In order to show to the fullest ex tent the agricultural resources of Georgia, large excursions will be or gauized in various sections of the north, and brought down to the State Fair next fall. After the excursion isle have looked npon and studied this aggregate display, an opportune ty Will be afforded them to visit any and all portions of the stale that they may wish, at low transportation rates. This will be u great induce meat for counties to make fine dis plays, for, naturally, the excursion ista will bo attracted to those coun ties m iking fine exhibits. I wish you would call the attention of (ho peoplo of your city and coun ty to the purposes of the Bureau, and see that a brief sketch of your re sources and advantages is prepared for publication in our monthly paper, and if you can furnish any cuts of prominent buildings or attractive scenery, please do so. and it will be published free of charge. It will be remembered that this Bu reau is organized for the benefit of the whole State, not for any particu lar section, and we wish nnd hope to receive the cordial co-operation of the people of the entire State. If you should have aDy pamphlets, papers, circulars, or other descrip tive matter of your city and county, we shall bo pleased to aid you in their distribution throughout the North, and in every way that we can advertise your section. Hoping to receive your aid and co ooeration in advertising the ndvant ages of our grand old “Empire State’ 1 and in inducing an intelligent and industrious class of citizens from the more thickly populated States to share those advantages with us, I am.

As a thorough going Bour bon, who believes that 1888 is 1861 and that the war between the North and South is still going on, Ingalls has captured ti e entire bakery nnd left but small crumbs for those that may come after him.

But if a public mau is compelled to live among the graves he falls naturally into ghoulish ways, and Ingalls is rather to be pitied than condemned.

SAU TALE OF THE DELE GATE'S RETURN From the Service of Hid State, to Find His Wife's Alectiona Alienated and Bestowed Upon Another. We were in Judge Hammond's office the other day when a colored gentleman stepped in and wanted the Judge to aue his wife for a di vorce, and when asked to tell bis story he said: “Well, in 1884 I sought and ob tained the band in marriage of my sable charmer and I believed that I possessed her whole heart. I felt as il I breathed a new atmosphere. I walked an air. I felt that the poit was writing about me and my wife when he wrote, ‘Two sonls with but a single thought, Two hearts th t beat as one.’ “But change is written npon all na tore and all human life. Today ev erything is bright—the proapect for life is long— Providence has blessed us with health and paaca nnd plenty, our friends are tried and faithful and true. But, alas! Nothing ‘They change as all things change here, in this world can last.’ “In the summer of 1885 the dwe' ling house of a gentleman in this county was broken open and u small amount ot money taken therefrom, which created considerable excite menl in the neighborhood, and the excitement extended even into the grand jury which was then in sea sion, who after some inquiry into tba matter 6eemed to get the idea in thoir minds that l was iu some way concerned, at least they seemed to suspicion that I had something to do with changing the possession of that money, and concluded to make spe cial mention of such suspicion in a set of resolutions which were framed by that august body, which I be Iteve they called a bill of indictment, in which something was said about burglary and some hints were made which were not all complimentary to me. Mr. Connell, the sheriff, was very kind and considerate, and at the suggestion of Mr. Sol. Gen. Womack, waited on me and informed me of the report which the grand jury bad got out about me, and asked me to step up to the court bouse and see Mr. Womack about it. Mr. Womack seemed to think that if 1 remained down m that neighborhood or even in Spalding county, I would constant ly be annoyed by some uuthoughl ful persons making chance allusions to the substance of the report of tba grand jury, a ! rfeined to have an idea that if 1 should go to some wa tering place and remain a while that would be the last of it. He suggest ed the Chattahoochee river, just above Atlanta. He suggested that he could get the special jury to rec ominend me as a fit and proper per son, and as to ray qualifications that he could have the judge also to en dorse and approve the endorsement of the special jury and then I could be sent as a deiegegate from this coun ty to the convention of brick makers then assembled on the batiks of the Chattahooc\ce river. He said that it would cost me nothing to g and nothing tc stay while I was in attend ar:ce on the convention and that my qualifications were such that I might lend material aid in developing one of the most important industries of this country. Although I did not think that X had any taste for the public service, yet to show myap preciation of the earnest efforts which were being made in my behalf to have me chosen as one of the dels gates to that convention, I wrote a short note on the back of the resolu tioDS of the grand jury which they called a plea—just one word. My credentials were then made out and properly certified, and so soon as it YVhite Shad, Fresh Fish all kinds, Fresh Oysters, Fresh Bread and Bolls, New Florida Cabbage, Ice Cured Bellies, Dove Brand Ham. 8Hfc»Oivc us your orders to-day.

WVn 1 reached there I was at once admit ted to all the priviliges of the moat experienced delegates who were there from all purls of the state. Contrary to the usual rule, while I did not forget my old friends, I read ily made new ones and becamo very soon strongly attached to them and they to me. We were bound togeth er, as it were, by bauds of iron and links of steel and I soon found that I could not tear myself away from my new acquaintances, the new at tachment was so strong and they clustered around me and stuck clos er to me than brothers". We were inseparable; we threw our mud into the same moulds; we bore our brick to the same kiln; we walked with the same step; wo partook together our regular meals, and like one great family we wore the same kind of clothes and only changed them once a week. Alter two years had expir ed my proficiency in the manufac tore of brick was acknowledged by all, and tho master of ceremonies in formed me that my strong attach ment to my companions mu»t be broken asunder in order that my place might be taken by new dele gates who had less experience, but who were ready to take my place in the convention, and that I could re turn to the home I had left aid “The girl I left behind me” and to friends, whom I trusted had not forgotton me. So I bade farewell to those with whom I bad been su long and bo closely connected and returned to my county which I had so faithfully represented, and to my sorrow I found that my wife bad goue back on me and look up with another fellow, and so I want a divorce.” Ready for Itivltallom.
