From the Chronicle & Sentinel.
foltoii-Growiii;: in Middle Ua.
Messrs Editors: A short time ng<>
a communication appeared in your col
umns from n Mr. Shackelford, of Vir
ginia, soliciting information as to the
quality and prices of lands in the vicin
ity oi AugU'ta, with n view to emigra
ting to our State. Whether any one
has answered that gentleman’s inqui
ries or not, 1 have no moans of know
ing, hut trust some planter who hns n
thorough knowledge of this section of
country will fully enlighten him nnd all
others who desire to be informed on
this subject. It is a matter of vital im
portance that parlies at a distance,
who desire to be informed and thor
oughly acquainted with all matters
pertaining to our agricultural and
manufacturing advantages, together
with our delightful climate, the unsur
passed health of the country, the na
ture of the soil, and the variety ol
crops and fruits that can be produced
here in abundance with comparative
ease, where severe frost and heavy
enow storms never interrupt the bus
bnndman. All we want is an indus
trious, enterprising population to make
us rich and independent of every other
country in the world, and it should be
known abroad that we have do enmity
or prejudice against any class of people
who come bore to engage in honest
pursuits. All are welcome to share in
cur prosperity, without regard to po
litical or religious opmions, and n ne
need have any difficulty in procuring
lands, together with our friendship and
confidence, if they show themselves ,
worthy of either.
Farms cun, at present, be procured 1
for less than their real value, and in 1
order that you may see how profitable •
cotton planting can be made within a j
short distance of the Augusta market, <
I need only allude to a few, out of 1
many, interesting statements, received
from truthful, reliable planters, who
are well known in the counties in
which they reside. ODe gentleman in
Burke county says be works forty
hands (little and big), and has made j
200 bales of cotton, 104 of which is
already in merket, averaging fully 500 i
pounds each. Another gent’einan in
the same county makes 100 bales,
which be says is one third less than he
expected, yet he feels confident that
he will realize more net cash on hia
products than he ever did with slave
labor in twen’y years’ experience.
Another gentleman planiing on a
small scale in Burke county made
four hales of coilou weighing 500
pounds each and 200 bushels of corn
to the hand. A Columbia couDty plan
ter, working only twelve hands, nas al
ready sent to market 59 bales of cot
ton, weighing on an average 450
pounds each, and last week be assured
his factor be might look out for 21
bales more of the samo sort, thereby
turning ont 80 bales, or 3,000 pounds
of ginned cotton to the hand
Tbeae are facts which cannot be dis
puied, as I cau at any time lurnish you
with the planters’ names, together with
theii factors, who can corroborate their
statements. Besides these are not iso
la'ed cases, for I could allude to nu
merous farmers who have propelsy at
tended to their business that have been
equally successful. I will close, how
ever, by giving you the experience of
a poor Presbyterian preacher in, or ad
joining Burke county, who never be
fore attempted to make a bale of cot
ton in all his life, but necessity this
time compelled him to make a trial;
for, says he, “my parishoners being un
able to support me I procured a ton of
Peruvian guano and applied it to ten
acres of what might be called worn out
land. J hired one white man to do the
work and the result of his husbandry,
■with precious little of my assistance,
amounts to eleven heavy bales of cot
ton ” Whether be expected more or
Dot I did not stop to inquire, but I
thought this case clearly demonstrated
the utility of white labor in this lati
tude, as the product, at present prices
would be considered quite e little for
tune for any two European laborers.
Now, in view of these facts, is there
any cause for despondency or any rea
son why land should not be higher in 1
this country than it has been? If!
there be any croakers in the land let i
them cease grumbling and go to work !
with a hearty will, for, if money can’t
bo made in Georgia, they need not go,
to Brazil or any other country ex
pecting to improve their condition.

Almost Every Case Cured With
PAIN KILLER,.
Read tbe following letter from Rev. R. Tel
ford, Missionary to Chius, now visiting his
home in Pennsylvania:
WAsniNOTOS, Pa., June 25, 1866.
Messrs. Perry Davis A Son, Providence, R.
I.—Dear Sirs : During a residence ot some
leu vesrs as a missionary in Siam and China,
I found vour Vegetable Pain Killer a most
valuable remedy for that fearful scoutge the
cholera. In administering tbe medicine, I
found it most effectual to give a teaspoonful
of Pain Killer in a gill of hot water sweet
ened with sugar; hen after about fifteen
minutes, begin to give a tablespoonful of the
same mixture every miuute until relief was
obtained. Apply hot applications to the ex
tremities. Bathe the stomach with Pain Kil
ler, clear, and rub the limbs briskly. Ol those
who had the cholera and took the medicioe
faithfully in the way stated above, eight out
of ten recovered. Truly vours, R. Telford.
In an attack with Diarrhoea, Dysenterv, or
Oramp Cholic, don’t delay the use ot the Pain
Killer. Sold bv all n.edicina dealers. Price
25 cents, 50 cents and $1 per bottle.
Swltow, China, Sept. 22, 1865.
Messrs. Terry Davis A Son : Dear Sit 3—l
ought to have acknowledged long ago tbe
box of Pain Killer you had the goodness to
send us last year. Its coming wag most prov -
idential. I believe hundreds of lives were
saved, under God, by it. The cholera ap
peared here soon after we received it. We
resorted at once to the “Pain Killer," using
as directed lor cholera. A list was kept of
all to whom the “/’aiu Killer” was given, and
our native assistants assures us that eight out
of every ten ti whom it was presrribed re
covered. It has, too, been very useful in va
rious other diseases. It has proved an incal
culable blessing to multitudes of poor people
throughout all this region. Our native preach
ers aie never willing to go out on their ex
cursions without a supply of the “Pain Kill
er.” It gives them favor in the eyes ol the
people, and access to families and localities
by whom o'herwise they would be indiffer
ently received. Believe me. dear sir, grate
fully aod faithfully yours, etc.
