This year he planted the field in oats, and you can tell to a vow where the peas were planted, the oats be¬ ing several inches higher than where there were were no peas.

The third leg does not touch the ground, though it is perfectly formed. The leg ex¬ tends rearward. The biddy is but a few weeks old anil is as spry as a cricket. It is on excellent terms with Bunny, Miss Bettie’s pet rab¬ bit, ancl may live to a ripe old age if her pet dog does not decide to have raw chicken for dinner some day. The correspondent of tbe Douglas Breeze at Pickren, whose article we copyelsewhere, expresses public sen- timent throughout Georgia. There is no good in mincing matters of this kind. The white people of the South will never permit the negro to share in its government, and the soonery tbe understand this incontro¬ vertible fact the better it will be for them. To fail to understand it is to court tbeir own destruction. The Southern people are their best friends —so long they stay in their places, and no longer.
