Mar on Telegraph. j “Would you like to see the Buz- I zard Dance?” said the gentleman ! whoso lavish hospitality I was en- ! Joy In*. “ Wbat the deuce is that,” said I. “Wait a minute and I’ll show I you,” he replied. We were seated on the broad veranda of a ' Southern country, house, built boihc fifty years ago. In front of us a row of giant mag- nolias, largo as oaks, seemed in the dim starlight freighted with balls of perfumed snow. Toourrighta vast grove of pines were softly soughing in the summer breeze, nnd beyond them the glare of tUe blazing knots, which lit half a hun dred cabins, proctaimcd the pres- cnee of the “negro quarter.” We were ou the Hugueniit plantation, in Sumter county, a modest farm of 8,000 acres, at present owned by Mr. J. M. Johnson and managed entirely by Mr. 0. C. Clay. Krc the minute bad elapsed, Mr. Clay walked to tiie end ot the verandah and gave a whoop which would have invoked the envy of a Com anche Indian and the prompt at* tendance of a Macon policeman An answering shout was licurd, nnd in a few minutes a long lino of dusky forms came stealing througli the shadows of the pines nnd rang ed themselves in front of where we sat. The song began and the mu sieians commenced to pat. Slid deniy into the centre of the open ring leaped the sable dancer who was to personate the buzzard. Though dancing in perfect time to the wild but musical accom paniment, he yet managed to imi tate with marvellous cxaolncss every movement of the uncouth bird ho had chosen for ids model. Its tottering, tip toeing gait was faithfully delineated, ns was also its sudden springs from right to left, its timid approaoh, its raven ous peck and sudden retreat from the craved but dreaded carcass, which, in this homely drama, wn» represented Ity a hat that looked indeedlikothe buzzards had been after it. After tbo dance a debate was held. Sides wero ohosen and the relative value to the world of the farmer nnd the mechanio wero dis cussed witli a shrewdness and a wit unexcelled by tho tariff debate in Congress. There nro as ninny as five hundred negroes on lids plantation. They constitute a so- oiety in themselves, and their num. ber satisfies that inslivetino gre- goriousnesa which from smaller plaocs, have drawn the negroes to town. While the dance and song were progressing, a quarter of a mile away thero were from nchuroh on tbo same plantation the prayers and anthems of those who found their pleasure is religion. And ns I listened to the mingling echoes of tho sacred and secular songs, I thought that the “old plantation,’' dear to Southern memory, had not vanished from the earth. The mar vellous management of Air. Clay lias preserved the same implicit obe dience, the came light-hearted reliance upon a common master, which characterized the days of ; greater success tha l the average ! farmer runs n four-mule farm. ; has a muscular eloquence which ' carries conviction to the negro j mind, an unflagging energy which : wrests success lrom nnpropitions seasons, and a quick and compre hensive judgment equal to all tho emergencies of his position. There is on this plantation ah artesian wall, whose water is un usually cold and possesses mineral properties not unlike those of the Indian Spring. These wells nro distined to revolutionize Soutli- west Georgia, by supplying to it that health which lias hitherto been all that it lucked. The rod of Moses brought forth living water from the rock; no less a blessing Imbibe judgement and perseverance of Mr. John I’. Fort conferred upon this icction by initiating there that artesian process which Ims libera- ted tiie pure streams imprisoned for centuries in the earth, and which, according to these inhabitants, will make Albany a summer habitation and Montezuma a health resort.

' / ’>■ A remarkable instance ot rapid mental oaioalalion has been discov ered in a young Polish boy named Paul Zilzlsky, living in East Bridgeport, Conn.

Mr. Zilzlsky, who speaks poor English, and who is now a poor man, having loot much of his earnings by the late Frary & Son outlery failure, said In answer: “Paul, how many beans are thore in this handfulf” The bov alonoe began to dance aronnd the store, and became greatly ex* lion.

The Third Congressional Dis trict convention will meet at Ameri cus, August 6tb, for the purpose ol nominating a candidate for Con gross, and from the drift of opinion throughout the distnat it seems very much like Mr. Crisp will be his own successor. lie has done good work in Congress, and al though lie is comparatively young iu years, he has evinced a ripeness of legislative experience that would do honor to many older members, We copy below an extract from the Fort Volley Mirror: . “Mr. Crisp, now serving his first term in Congress, with little, if any, previous legislative experience and withal quite a young man rep- resents this, the 3d district. We did not linvc a voice in his elec tion, because wo were not then in tho district from which he wa9 elected. Wo do not hesitate, how ever, to say that wo nre now hearti ly in favor of keeping him in the position lie now fills so woll, as long as ho continues to disohargo his duties with such conspicuous ability, His services upon the Springer committee nre known to ho valuable, anil on one occasion, in tho case of Kellogg as a member of that committee, by ids ready and intelligent clmllcngo of certain statements of tiie Louisiana swind ler and'briber, lie utterly routed him and covered, him wi.li con fusion. lie is the author of n bill to re quire six or seven of the subsidised Pacific railroads to refund certain moneys ninounling to $815,000 for inouey expended by the govern ment for these roads. This bill is considered very im- lortant, has been safely and favora- dy returned from the committee on Pacific railroads, nnd will no doubt bo passed at this session of Congress. Tho senate is said to he favorable to the bill and to be willing to expedite it as soon as it comes before that body. Thu success of this measure nnd Mr. Crisp's able management of it stamps him conclusively as a very strong man, nnd lie will receive tiiat appreciation nt home that his merits deserve, hic Bwre, auu uuuauie greauy ex* cited as his father tbrnst his band into a barrel of beans, took a band* ful, and threw them down in a cor* ner, where they lay scattered about. The lad leaped into the air, and al most before the beans had touebe’d the floor shouted “1,768." The beans were carefully gathered and counted, and while this was being done the bov grinned and waited. The result showed him to be cor rect to a bean. He relepsed Into blsu8unl sleepy manner again. The father then seized a handful ofoste and threw them la a heapupon the counter. “Paul," said he, “how many oats?” The boy again jump ed to his feet, devourea the oete mentally, and Instantly shonted: “2,830.” It took a long time to count them, bpt the number was again found to be correct. Next the father seized a half-filled pall of water and asked the boy, “How many cubic inehes of water In the pall?” The boy sized it up with Ills eyes and quickly shouted “116.” A careful computation proved the result to be right Other wonder ful answers wero given, always In an excited manner, and no compar ison of his manner seems to be as apt as or the excitement or a dog when “set on" by bis muter. At each and every successful answer tbo same doleful expression re turned. slavery. I was curious Ur see thcj ^*t e °VnHli^ U ° ^ l Bn results of free lr,bpr managed ns in “ tiie (lays of yore.

Railroads missed connection her* yesterday morning. an<f ,*tt, tbs through passengers had to Its over until the departure of the noon train. Among the passengers were three Jolly fellows who appeared to Ini Northerners on their, way home from Florida. There was also a colored man in the party. They eamo up town early and commenced to take in the sighte, making frequent dives into the places whoro matutinal cooktalle are dispensed. It woe a rainy morning, and by nine or ten o’clock our visitors bad imbibed enough to make them feel ‘-loose." They wanted to keep going, however, eo they called a dray, and, seated upon boxes and chairs provided by the drayman, they proceeded to “take in thfe town." Tbelr route was not a very extensive one, but It was a regular one, and they cov ered it several times. Their char iot would halt first in front of Crine’s “Exchange,” then at tho “Ulslto," then at the “Sane 8onol,” and then they would drive around the square and come hack over tho same road again—stopping at all the stations. They didn’t care (br ibe rain. They evidently landed here pretty “dry,” bat wKqn tbey returned to their sleeping ear, .which was pulled out by the noon 'train for MacoD, they appeared to be throughly wet—Inside and out. They made no disturbance, but seemed to enjoy themselves im mensely, while It was amusing to some of the natives to see them driving Ihrougb the rain from one saloon to another on a drey. “1 wonder," says a writer in the New York Truth, “that newspaper men do not more frequently become insane, for they, too, have to en dure an almost constant mental strain and high pressure.
