ILENT' OF CORN PLANTED Negro QrestlOn the Ail-Absorbing One MEETIMS IN NEARLY EVERY COUNTY ATTEMPT TO ARREST TOOMUS New Yonx, July 15.—The WorlJ's corres pondent in Columbus, Georgia, of the Sth Inst., says that the scarcity of provisions la that re gion has been such that the people have planted plenty of corn. A. goad deal bee been pot into the ground since the cessation of fighting, in this State,sa well as in the other Southern States which I have passed through. There will be a 6vlllcler.cy of corn for the people themselves. There IS now a real scarcity. The plicate of pre vikions In the markets-are evidences of this fact. For tour Is worth three dollars per hundred In coin. Board at the hotels is four 'dollars peitay, the same as at the best New York hotels, this; being the only resemblance between chum. But families are living on cornbread, bacon and buttermilk, with occasional chickens. Is vast numbers of poor widows and helpless people that must exist somehow, but nobody can tell how, the poverty of the people is 'exemplified In lan guage, appearance and habits. Voluntarily per- sons who have evidently been rained In affluence, deny themselvesof some of the cheap luxuries of the lesson, such as summer fruits and a few other notions which have found their way from the North. They ail dress plainly ; there are plenty of women here whoac external furnishing 123 sadly out of taste and repair, caused In travel lug on rail•oads, and a great many get Into the cars without having a rest to pay their faro, trusting to the generosity of the road for the ride. Bometimes whole families start off with little or no provisions. - - - Eating houses are few, and these charge a dol lar for entry to the table, when a scramble en aces for eatables. Meat appeals for money are of common oc currence. The State of Georgia, like S_oth Carolina, Is a good deal crippled by raiders through her ter ritory, as not It se than three hundrrd miles of railroad hare been tore up within her borders, since the tall of Atlanta. The country from Chattanooga to Atlanta Is seamed and furrowed with intrenchments; its bridges are destroyed; the fences gone on the line of moat of the railroads, and the depots oregano at every town. Large amounts of cot, ton , and other stores were -borne 1. The Lau to the State in ddattation cannot ha less than one hundred millions, . At Columbus three large cottolfactorles were burned down, besides fifty-four thouaaad bales of Cotton, and nearly a million bushels of corn. The ravages. of . Wilson . were much greater than need be, considering 'the stage of the war. The destraction_here was four days after the surrender of Lea,' but he knew nothing of the negotiations with Sherman until nearing 111aoan, when be was met by a gag of trace,- which fo•- tonattly,stopped destruction. Be.ween West Point and Montgomery the Railroad Company run one engine and two fiat ears, and charge ten cents per mile; re fusing to take greenbacks except atn discount of fifty cent on the dollar. The negro question Is the all absorbing one, and furnishes the only occupation for the mili tary government Most of the negroes remain at wink at their homes, but at the cities and towns there are great numbers idle. Many males have run off and left their families to be creed for by their late owners. Tee question of 'descry then is agitating, and slowly settling itself. The inhabitants' complain bitterly that those who were so eager to give the nigger his lib arty will not now 'give him his food, nor compel him to work for it, but the needs of the whiten and the blacks will bring both Into a better frame of mind erelong, and by next year some uniform rules can be adopted for their treatment; meanwhile they will suffer. The sentiment of the people is quite submissive and patient: they are making all the haste they know bow to, to put themselves right again. Nearly - ell the counties in Georgia on the use of the railroads, or so convenient thereto as to be quickly beard from, haveliteld Meetings and expressed their readiness to recognize and sub mit to the authority of the. United States. The proceedings of fully forty counties have been made public, and moat of them are large and populous counties of the State. The probability Is that meetings UM been called In nearly every county, but the proceedings have not been re ceived on account of mall communication. From Florida we have accounts of the moat wretched condition of affairs; poverty and want even greater than In Southern Georgia. An attempt was made lately to arrest Toombs big rtsklebre near Augusta, but he esuaped through a back door; since which time he has not bean heard of. It is said that bat for his unfortunate drunk as Montgomery be would have been Provisional President instead of Jeff. Davis. Between them since there has been great enmity. lIPRISOMIENT OF IRE CONSPIRATORS. Jell;. Bails' Counsel and Taal. RESTORATION PROSPECTS IN NORTH CAROLINA N^ilmingfon Data of July 11th.
