It is understood that she will have no trouble in giving the bond, having friouds who will go upon It. and property enough to make them secure.

Here is what a correspondent of the Augusta (XmutUiUionalisl has to say about an ex-citizen of Columbus, who is well remembered here by hundreds who would bo glad to welcome him back, should his “old red hills” prove strong enough to dissolve the bonds which now bind him to old Virginia: A Noted Odd Georgian.— About two miles from Warronton lives another re markable man, better known in Georgia than Virginia, on account of his long res idence—extending over more than half a century—in the former State, and his conspicuous eonnection|wiUi her politics during that protracted period. I allude to General Bothune, for so many years a prominent citizen of Columbus, and so well known throughout Georgia as an editor and politician. Lwas his guest for a night, and riohly was I entertained by liis reminiscences of the past, from the stirring old times in Georgia when Troup and Ciiu ko were the two great political antagonists in the State, down to the fate ful day of secession. The old General seems as young and stout, and is ns strong-voiced as when I first saw him, many years ago, when I was a boy. He has been living in Virginia since the close of the war, but I think he has a yearning for his native State, and shall not be sur prised if lie yet returns to her "red old hills.” oranges, Ac. Our little sister Florida is just trying herself tills season to see how completely she can "bull-doze" this Democratic sec tion with her oranges.

L ANDIS, Vineland, .1., free of cost The following is an extract from a description, published in the New York Tribune, by the wel known agriculturist, Solon Robinson: All the farmers were ol‘the ‘ well to do” sort, and some of them, who have turned their attention to fruits and market gardening, have grown rich. The soil is loam, varying from sandy to clayey, and surface gently undulating, intersected with small streams and occasional wet meadows, iu which deposits ot peat or muck are stored, sufficient to fertilize the whole upland surface, after it has been exhausted of its natural fertility. It is certaiuly one of the most extensive fertile tracts, in an almost level position, and suitable condition for pleasant farming, that we know of this side of the Western prairies. We found some of the oldest farms apparently just a*3 profitably productive as when first cleared of forest fifty or a hundred years ago. The geologiat would soon discover the cause of this continued fertility. The whole country is a marine deposit, and all through the soil we found evidences of calcareous substances, generally in the form of indurated calcareous uiarl. showing many distinct forms of ancient shells, of the tertia ry formation; and this marly substance is scattered all through the soil, in a very comminuted form, and in the exact condition most easily assimilated by such plants as the fanner desires to cultivate.
