It is good advice many of the South ern papers are giving to planters—“not to sacrifice their lands,” that is to ssy nut to 801 l them at the extremely low prices now prevalent. But speaking for ourselves alone, we would put this oouosel into another form of words, amounting to the same thing in the grand result, but proposing to work it out by a different policy. If we were large landholders iu Geor gia, we would study into ingenious meth-' ods by which, in other sections of the country, portions of land are disposed of at low rates in order to increase the val ue and price of the remainder. This is the way in whieh Northern and Wes tern landholders work out their fortunes and we think the same policy might bo succssfully adopted hereafter in the South. There is a great deal of talk in the prints, aL>d by committees and public moetings, about induoiDg outside im migration ; but it seems (o us the prop ositions do not take a form sufficiently specific and oor Crete. Men do not im migrate to a far distant and foreign country upon general prospects and chances. They want to know all about what they are d"iug and going to do, and count up the expenses of-the ven ture to within a few dollars. Now, to explain our meaning, let ns suppose a number t f contiguous land ho’dirs >n Georgia, anxious to increase the value of their pioperty and to b.r> g it into requisition f»r settlement upon this principle, Fuat, we supp se they would each coDtribuie to a common stock a considerable portion of their lands, so as to form a large solid tract, to put in market on joint account. This they might have laid <ff into twenty five, fifty or a hundrt and acre lots, und put every other one in market at very r educed pi ices- from one to five dollars per sera To ass et a r.aleand ecloniaition of this land, they should procure a good map of it and a well written pamphlet setting forth particular of price, productiveness, climate, health, crops, and capabilities—the way to get th. re —expenses of the j uruey and ev- ry other important matter tlea'ly in detail Hire they would present something distinct, dt finite and and rilhbie to im migrants ; and the next point in hand would be 'he formation of bodies—col onies—of immmigrints, who should come together bringing their own soci ety and social and personal habitudes and enjoyments with them. To do this, ono of this association of land owners, or a wtll selected agent, should be sent to the point upon whieh they have chosen to operate—to Eng land, Scotland, Ireland, Germany or wherever els© the land owners have de termined to procure their oclonists— and here, in localities judiciously select ed for the ohjtcf, the agent should op erate with time, patience and sagacity —he should strive to organise a com - muoity of colonists and should offer the moat solid and practical inducements to the step. We will suppose all this done sue cessfully. The agent returns with his colony and sees them comfortably locat ed upon alternate lots. The as o ittion has then the reserve lots to offer, as will as all their other private laDd lying con tiguous to the settlement. The ohaoce -of a profitable sale depends, of course, upon the success of the colony aod the reports they send back to the region from wbenco they immigrated. It may well be supposed, if they prosper and make money, as they ought to do, these lands will be inactive demand, at bet ter prices, for the accomodation of their neighbors, relatives, and triends who may wish to emulate ibeir exau pie. And finally, tbe influence txtendiny and widening. Such small beginning!, may set on foot a broad current of im migration. For interest controls all these movements, and men are quick to bear and eager to emulate any eou.se whieh (ffarn a fair pr’speet of personal advantage. Moreover, men anu women are social and generous It constitutes a grand inducement to emigrate ana set He on a par'ieuhr spot, that sons, daugh ters, ur.cles, aunts, cousins and aunts and friends have gone before and fet tled there. It kecomes, then, more like going home than going abroad. Now, seme such i ptration as this, we are disposed to consider almost er sestial to any extensive imtaigratin to the South, or eager cUn and fur S'O'h ern lands to »ri-e from such immigra tion —Macon Itleyraph.

DAWSON, GA„ THURSDAY, JUNE 11, INGB. The digital) Admiral and the Yankee Sailor. Since furreted vessels came into fashion, the nation bss become a-great naval power, and astonished the world by tie diede of daring. Out of the hot bed of war, too, admirals have been born, BDd of these, since peace catne sailing with their fleets to foreign ports, have been fetted and honored, where, hut a few yeara ago, they would have been allowed to come and go with scarcely a report W ithin the recollection of the writer an English admiral, £ir Isaao Coffin visited thest shores, und was well re ceived by the citizens. He was u great admirer of America and its in stitutions, and bad a strong affection for those of his name and lineage who had settled in this country He man ifested this regard by founding on the island of Nuntucket, where many of his race then dwelt, a school, where, free of expense, those wbo came from the same stock w ith himself, could be educated. That this school still exists —for the endowment was liberal—the writer has little donbt. Shoitly after the war of 1812, an American merchant vessel command ed by one Gardner, of Nantucbe', was ordered by an English man of-war to heave to, to be searched tor B iti-fi sailors w ho might he harbored among her crew The United States was obliged to submit to such things id '.hose days, and ace rdingly » young midship man came alongside in his boat- It was customary at that time for the captain to receive, at the gangway, with lifted bat, the officer whu toarded; but young Gutdner, however, did noi feel di piosed to pier form this ceremony, and permitted the midshipman to come over the vessel’s side with ». little attention bestowed on him as if he were tut a c< mmon sailor 1 his lack of courtesy aroused the iie of the mulshij man, and he approached Gar-oner loudly cursing the Yankees ami especial y denouncing thp capiti.in of this pitmiculur vese) Without a word o‘ rep y,Gardner'Seized the mifl dy by his w ais - I and and quickly patch ed him notwithstanding his struggle , overboard into the sea, from wtiieh he was picked up by bis crew, u tei ng threats (A vengeance aga net Gardner, and rowed back to his ship. 01 course .-ucn treatment to an En glish officer could not be pin sed over, and an armed boat was soon pulling out to Gardner's vessel, and that wor thy was compelled to vicot the Britc-h ship, where iie was brought before the Admiral Sir Isaac Coffin, who deinao ded to know why he had commoted such an outrage upiotl th ■ King’s officer Young Gardner replied that any ! man, King’s officer or not. midshipman I or admiral, who ventured to curse him on the deck cf his ow n vessel and in suit the flag of his country, he would servo in the same lashiou, and if the Admiral didn’t b lieve him, he might try the experiment himself. The Admiral, instead of ge’ting an gry at these hasty words, was inward ly pleased at his boldness und tnde pet deuce; aad finding, after a little talk, that Gardner’s father and himself were kinsmen, and had been school mates, he took gieatly to him, and ad vised him to apxilogise to the midship)- man. But young Gardner was stub born, and swore be would neither apiol ogise nor in any way acknowledge that the course he had taken was otherwise than prop>er ; they might blow his ship into the air und hang him before he’d do it At last, by skillful cross-ques. tions, the Admiral managed to get from him an expression which he was satisfied to cons rue in the light of a sufficient upxilogy. bo the affair ended and Gardner re turned to his vessel. A few minu’es after be reached it. the Admiral’s gig, flying the broad piennon, came along side bearing an invas ion to young Gardner from the admiral to dine with him But Gardner re'urned word that he’d be struck dumb—it he’d conde scend to cine with an Englishman And so the smalt boat went back und the merchant vessel trimmed sail* and bore a* ay. This story, with sundry embellish ments of an anti religious character, the old admiral, wb n in this court ry, used to re ute wnb great gusto, laugh mg heartily ; and wus so uleased that oits of nis own stock should have the courage and spam thus to act ThcD, uruniug bis laughter, und turning at - rious countenance to nis iieteneis, he wou o say: “If you cat only cultivate this spirit among your rahors the time w ill i onio w lieu Columbia, instead of Biiiuun w wifi rule the waves ” 'ibis was over thirty years ago, and tin* with the aid »i u>> si ors and iron clads, ci tniuunued by such men as Furrugul and i\>i l*r, i stem* as if the prophecy ot bir Isaac Welo not far iroiu its fulfil.ineut.— [Mail. £3T a hands..mu young widow ap plied iu a pbysiuisu to rclmve her of two dis-iri »»ing cvuipiaiuts wim wbicb ►he was i fflic ed.

Remarkable Adventure with a Kattlesiiake Singular In ataure of Cruelty of a Noiitb eru Planter to eue of Ilia Laic Slaves. We are indebted to the kindness of a friend for an account of the follow ing interesting chain of incidents : A planter in the viemi y of Adam’s Run, on Thursday morning went on a drive with a pack of seventeen hounds Id due course of time, a fine huctr was started, and as he caine within range of the gun of our friend, he received the contents of both barrels. On went the deer, however, into an adjoining swamp, pursued by the w hole excited pack iD full cry. Neai by a negro was hoeing cotton, who, wishing to assist his master (we beg pardon, employer,) in providing a fine haunch for dinner, as w?JI as impelled by a natural taste for field spiorts, threw down his hoe, and ran into the swamp, to prevent the bounds from tearing the deer to pieces. As he was making his last leap, which would laDd him by the side of the “stricken deer,” he had the misfo. tune of coming down up u a huge rattlesnake, who not-liking au-:b untimely intrusion, quick as lightning, turned upon the sable invador, and struck his fangs through Cuflee’s pan taloons, into the exterior aspect of the middle-third of the thigh The pl an ter came up almost immediate'y after; when Cuflee remarked, just a* he wus about to faint, “Uh, Massa K , a rattle-nuke bite me !’’ pointing tothi ci tied up monster by his side Cuffee was piul’.ed io one side, and a dis charge of both barreis of his gun made his snakesliip shuffle off that moral coil Fourt*en rattles gave proof if his age und | rowess, Mr. E then addressing t’uffoe, re marked, “although you are a grand rascai, I shall not let you die in that way;” and ins ant'y taking cut his hunting knife, cut op n the leg of Cuf fee’s snake-p>ieri ed pantaloons apiptiied his lipis to the wound, and then and there sucked lrom it the deadly ser pent’s venom. The negro was taken home in a state of insensibi ity ; but, although v.-ry feeble, Mr. E thinks he will recover There are a few facte connected with the relation*, past and present, of the principals in this adventure, which gtentiy enhance its interest Cuffee (our now de i/uerre, for th.s negro) was tho slave of the gentleman who thus saved his life, until the lower part of our l?tate was occupied by the Feder als, w hen Le (Cuffee) join and the Uni ted States colored army ; and by a singular coincidence, was confronted toon afterwards wdh Lira Ihlo muster on the buttle field iu North Carolina. Cuffee oven aliot at him but tnissed and was taken prisoner by fain), relas ed of couse soon afterwards, when .he Confederacy went “up tho spou’,” and the “Union came in" After tbe war was over, and peace (so-called) bad once more returned to bless (?) our borders, Cuffee, bearing no malice for having shot at his master, present ed himself before Kim and at the old plantation askiug to be employed, BDd has been there ever since. We commend this s ory (for every word of which we vouch, and, if re quired will give tbe names) to our Northern friends, Forney, Gree y, Ste vens, Phillips, and tbe whole j ack of them, and hope they will give it wide circulation, as showing wbat base, sel fish, vindictive, dastardly fellows our Southern plan'ers are.

The Detroit Free Press *nys; Sfhco the daye of Blond n furar, when men and women stood aghast at the fool hardy daring of the great rope wulker, in the pieifonnance of his daring feats at Niugra Fulls, no such excitement h a been known. A piroject has recent ly been started, however, which,if car ried into execution, will eclip>so any feut of daring ever yet attempted. Charles Ockford, of ikia city, the sixty bout- skater, has conceived the idea of making the pierilous passage over the Fhlls of Niagara in un India rubber life boat of pieculiar cons'ruc tion. A few weeks ago the idea sug gested ilself to bis mind, and upon communicating it to some eastern gen tlemen, it was proposed by them that a purse (f tbir'y thousand dollars Ls raised to induce him to make the un dertaking. He according'y perfected his scheme, and the contract for mak ing the boat has been let to the Good year Rubber Company for SI,OOO. — The boat will be an oblong, with a mean diameter of sight leet, six inches thick a: the top and sides, and three feet thick at the bottom. A shaft of the same material wi 1 extend from ■i le to side in the centre, on whicb will be swung on a pivot, a sea', to which the adventurous occupant will be fas tened. Opiening at the top will be an apper ture sufficiently large for h m to get. insi ;e, after which it will be filled with air and closed up. It is calculated that sufficient air can be retained to sustain life about twenty minutes A small cable will be attached to the ba.l, by which it will be towed after the descent shall have been mads, for which purpose parties will be station ed in bouts immediately below the Fu Is. I he model of this novel craft is now in ttiis city, nnd there is no doubt that the attem; t to curry this startling por ject in'o execution will be made duriDg the present season Mr. Ockford is qui e confi lent that lie shall succeed, but the chances for success cert .inly look dubious. Should he succeed, Mr. Sidnej Doty, of P.,tiac, will a’so un dertake the same feat. A Drnukard’s Tnre Some mouths ago a gentleman took rooms at the United State- Hotel, aud advertised that he had discovered a epecifio for the cure of drunkenness.— He would not divulge the secret of wbat compounds he nsed, but furnished med icine at so much per bottle. He did nut have as many applicants for the care as he had expected, consid ring the extent of tbe disease; in fact tbe malignant cases did not teem anxious for relief. They rather appear ed to erjoy ffieir milody. A few how ever, placed themselves under troai mrnt, and some were cured—whether by taking tbe medicine or by not tak any strong drinks, we are not prepared to say. One of the cured ones was in our office yesterday, and he informed ua that he had fsith in thu medicine, that he bad rigidly carried out the direc tions of the dootor, and now he had the least taate for iDtoxieatiDgdrinks,wllere as one year ago he was an iunebriate, aud could not get along with less than a pint to a quait of w htsky per day.
