MiLLepervite, Ga, May 31, 1867. In the train from Macon to Milledgeville we had only 4 few ecattering passengers. In fact, from Lonisville or Richmond southward the passenger traffic now is very slim. The producers and planters are attending to their crops, and it is not the seasen for merchants to be mov- ing. Travellers are in demand 1 all the five Southern Military districts For example, your commissioner halted at a sittle hamlet, the other day, rejoicing in two hotels, The drummer from the one put in, ‘Here yer are, wr. Rightover from the depot, Concert going on now, and you can walk right in. Some good singers.” The drummer from the other house then presented his card, ‘‘New honsge over there, sir. Widow lady, burnt outand driven off by the War. Six daughters. Nice people, sir.” The traveller expounded :—‘The concert is good; but the widow’s cause prevails, and the travel- ter’s fee shall be the widow’s mit And the drum- mer's statement proved to be true. Prom Macon, three onearmed soldiers of the late con- federacy, and one with one leg, were among our com- pany. They passed the time to Griswoldville fighting their battles over again, and there, where the right wing of Sherman, descending to the sea, touched an extensive cotton giv factory and left it in ruins our ex-rebels grew eloquent over the-good fight made at this point by the Georgia militia, A “boy im blue’ sat smiling in his corner, but said nothing, The country for miles and miles in this region is a mixture of thick Jangles, pine forests, sluggish'and poisonous looking streams and swamps, Interlarded with cotton and corn fields, and an effort at a wayside inn at every railway station. At these stations, negro women, with baskets of indescribable iooking pies and cakes, and with plums and green apples, solicit tho passengers to “‘ please, buy some, sir?” Milleugevilie, om the Oconee, is a neat, quiet, sleepy little place, of some twenty-five hundred inhabitants. As we 8) hed the town we saw several men in a ripening field of barley, cutting it up for forage for their stock. For the Jast five hundred miles, with an excep- Uonal horse, now and then, we have not seen « horse, mule, ox oF Cow, whose ribs might not be counted in the suo a huodred yardeoff. Like their owners, they are all on short rations. In the ruins of the railway arsovual and armory, Milledgeville, bears ite mar! Sherman's progress. “I thought,” aid a poor, sun- burnt white woman, sittiag at her door, smoking ber pipe, ‘that all the federals in the world was a driving dor ‘brough this piace.” ‘I know’d,” said a re- African, “as Mr. Sherman’s big army come down, ‘dat lwas nota gwine to be drew no more to de cotton eld at five o'clock in de morning, to stay dere til ht o’elock in de evening.

That the suppiies from the Freedmen’s Bureau and from Northern charitabie contributions bave saved thou- sands of people from actual starvation in Georgia, and pe thig assistance wil! be needed for two or three weeks jon; the wheat crop ia excellent throrghout the State and will afford great relief to its people, and that there ts also a fair prospect for afine corn and sweet potato crop. That no opinion can be formed of the cotton crop; but as the growing cotton shows at last what they call “a good stand,’’ there is eo far the promise of « crop, and that an average scason will prodece in Georgia this year two hundred and fifty thousand That no better time than the present will ever come for Northern investments in Southern real estate. mil! sites, mines, &¢,, but that local supplies ®¢ subsistence are necessary to give emigrants from the North to the South a fair beginning, That law, order and industry reign througheut Georgia, and that thero is ‘a happy accord” between the whites and black, each race respecting the peculiar situation of the bad and recognizing the fixed facts which are be- fore them. ‘That General Pope and Colonel Sibley are doing their work, not only without giving offence, but to the perfect satisfaction of all classes. That we have not heard a single man in Georgia in all these eight dayseay the first word about the next Presi- dential election, and that it fellows, therefore, that the people of Georgia do not expect te jag a and care little or nothing about it—that, lo fact, they are be- helps are situated they are inno of either General Pope or General ‘opposed to the radical they have not much confidence in the Northern g ,, but bold that the South, by bard work, must work out its own salvation. ‘That whil ol imon’s aa ari Howard, That whilo they are upon. of he aon, sal inthe tony ao iJ he Bu) iven fern besarte th Me ales aeeriece © the North our people have beech saved toa great exient.from pet remedy itt ea cael meets spake permanent: u ourselves.
