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. J. M. Johnson, Missionary is China apr3o’«Blv THE PLANTERS" WAREHOUSE. TO the Planters of Hay, Ejl rly, and Cal houa counties.
