Late in the full of 1847, it was my good for
tune M spend several delightful hours in the
gallery of the •'Art Union" in New York.—
Among the many exquisite pictures that graeed
its walls, was one which particularly attracted
my attention; Not that 1 either comprehended
or was much influenced by the learned and
teehrileal critiehtnis of the nouns:l'7Bllra at my
elboW, but it was a New Englund scene., ..The
first news of the bottle of Lexington," by Rau
- •
nay, and for its truth and—
spirit 1 could well
vouch.
It represetded a New England
.. landscape in
the capricious month of Aptil, with till tho
shows of awakening agricuhund- life and indus
try. A village malty in the foreground, which
I could almost have identified, under the pro
jecling roof of which stood the brawny-armed
smith hirriself, with compressed lips and- n it
ted brews“astening'a shoe to the reeking horse
of a courter,.(how much inure significant" the
old Saxon word bode,) Who, still in the saddle,
hurrialy told his tale ofPfate and fear" to the
excited listeners tnat had already reached the
spot. All along the road were seen Itur,ying
stalwart hunts, will, the implements of toil still
in their hands; in the fields, the plough anci:dx-
ell were left midway in the furrow, while their
master, without bridle or saddle, sprang upon
the - stout farm horse,—acrd-with - his - strong - hand
twisted in his shaggy mane, the, gears still
tripling ul liitrlicels, and nose high in the air
guided him, et an undreamed-of pace,. across_
the fields, and over fence., to , urd the nem° of
MEM
I knew many in my native village that might
have stood on the original , .I'ol those men, aye,
rot a few hong, ,hat midi; opoo oec,.i.nis hove
taken that very look tied gait. But
_mere than
this as I gazed anon that *torn, the shadowy
farms of the while-haired fathers of rue village,
seemed to Coke the place of the. gaily•dre,:sed
people at my side; and st :nd leaning, as woe
their wool, over their' stout oaken:sticks, au
they told over again their "talcs of the times al
old." .One of these; which that pitoure vividly
recalled, and which would not ho an unmet
suhject Jar the artist's pencil, I Ann attempd to
relate.
Ono SabbatO morning, - during' the gloomy
summer of 1776. when the hopes of the patriots
seemed, likely tn go down iii darkness and
blood, and oven the God•sustainejl heart of
Washington grew troubled, and almost sunk
within him, the people of our villigo came up
to the house of God with Mid countenances and
heavy hearts. News travelled slowly then, and
they were chiefly flies) indebtedlo such Wl/11117 .
ded soldiers as passed through the villege,on
their way to their homes, for their information
of the movements of the army. They know
that. Washington still !MIA Now York; and Alm
lust poor wounded fellow that bad reached
home had told a fearful tale at tho state of our
own 'diminished army, and the horde of troops
under the limos, that wore gathering around
it like locusts.
It was a beautiful mid-simmer morning. A
light. thunder shower, during the latter part of
the preceding night, had laid tha duet and giv-,
en coolness to the air. The rain drops still
stung trembling from leaf and spray, and came
e , •
dropping down in showers, as the footsteps of
pedestrians or the heavy tramp of Ilona, bear-.
Ing in most instances tho'doubla burden of man
and matron, witli.perohance a rosy child or two
startled from their quivering porchmithe silver
throated birds.
The grain was already In/roasted, but'. many
fields of grass tiocrentill standing, !morn and

halted at the tneyting-house-door.. Inm moment
the rider had thrown himself' friiit the saddle,
and stouil within the door. Handing a note to

injunction. Deliberately -the old man finished
his Pennon and prayer, then gh+lng his eye

people: It was a pressing reqiisition from
Washington for more troops. was daily
expecting an attack from the coodlin9d forces
of the enemy, and each town andi village was
called upon to furnish what aid itkuld. :After
a few apt and eloquent - remarks oji the . critical
situation or the b-lovod dhieflaitt,qlm worthy
man continued—"LM us not be Met down my

Then, with floods clasped, and raletei towards

There was silence fur the space of some mo

Southern Georgia is little else than a vast
sandy plain, coegred with pines. 'Large tracts
of land in the south-eastern-part ot the Stale
arc wet and swampy ; but, generally, the soil
in the lower half of Georgia is sandy and JO.
The land, with tho exception of that tying near
the rivers, to unproductive. Corn can, howev.
or, be raised on much of the pine larid, but, on
ly the fertile pert of it will produce cotton. The
river and oak lands. though good for corn, are
specially adapted to tho growth of cotton.

The soil, when it is not too broken; is generAy
fertile, producing good crops of corn, wheat,
oats and cotton. Outs grow tolerably well in
the lower parts Of the State, and in Florida.—
They are sown in February, 'and harvested in
May or Juno. ,Planters in Southern Georgia
often attempt to raise wheat, but they seldom
get more than six or eight busbelsfroruan acre,
and often much less. In the upper country the
yield ranges from ton Ofifteen bushels per item
Apples, pears, and cherries grow tolerably well
in Northern Georgia._ Plums, grapes, figs,
blackberries and, peaches flourich in all parts of
the State.
The Pine Forests constitute an interesting_
cature in the aspect otthe country. The trees
nre of thutispeeies called pitch pines. They
grow 011 and straight. Near the top, and. u
sually at the slistance of eighty or ninety feet
from the ground, they send out a few branches,
which, like the body of the tree, aro -long and
straight.. Tho pines vary in height from.eighr
trio one hdndred and twent fhey sel
dom exceed ono or two feet in .fleter.'.. The
. land in the pine woods is love* Jr gently undu
lating. The ground is ceWL- , !Jd with -a short
coarse grass. There is never...my undergrowth.
Fur as the eye can reach, the sight is unob
structed save by the columns of the tall pines.
There is something in these forest solitudes
that excites emotions not unlike those felt by
travelers on the boundleii prairies of the, West.
Vastness - and grandeur that are seen, lead the
mind. to a contemplation of the unseen Infinity,
and kindle in the 'soul 'emotions of reverence
and adoration.
—"Father, thy hand
(lath reared these venerable columns t thou [down
Tilde% weave t h is verdant roof. Thou did's:. look
Upon the naked eartlwand forthwith rose
All these lair ranks of trees. They, In thy Pun,
Budded. and shook their green leaves In thy breeze,
And shot toward heaven."

Led lrom tree to tree, that, in the distance, the
forests seem enveloped in a fiery ether.
The wind, passing throUgh the pine tops, t
causes a d6Sp moan, resembling the roar of a
dittant cataract, or the noise of an approaching ,
storm. This moan is heard sometimes corislaut
ly Ira several days. At night there is, some
thing peculiarly mournful in the deep unvary
ing tones. At other times they are agreeable
to all hut the melancholy.
.The contra portion cf the State is the^-most
thickly settled. Southern Georgia, along the
rivers, is well populated ; but generally, thiii
part of the State is settled sparsely, if at a11.._
Northern Georgia has been increasing rapidly
within a few years ; especially along the line of
the railroads. The population of the State in
184 U was less then 600,0110,--now his estima

The wealthier inhabitanti, or those who own
the greatest number of slaves, are found in those
portions of the State 'that produce cottnn.—
There are few large planters in Upper Georgia.
Many of these own only in few negroes, and
kill more none pi all. A poor uneducated class
