THE CROPS IN GEORGIA.—The Macon Advocate of
the 20th instant says :—We learn from a gentleman who has
just returned from a tour through Baker, Lee, Sumter, Dooly,
and other counties in Sout-Western Georgia, that the crops
of small grain, particularly wheat, were never more pru-
mising than at present. The corn looks well, but cotton,
in consequence of the wet and cool weather experienced in
that section for some time past, appeared rather backward,
and in some places fears were entertained that it would die,
and the land have to be re-planted. The weather having
become clear and pleasant, however, with a prospect of
continuing so, the plants may revive, and prove thrifty.in
the end.

until further notice. What is the real cause of this sudden change
in the intentions of his Lordship we are not in a position to say ; but
it is confidently asserted that the Noble Lord, fearing that In the
da3 .s,
event of a public sale the principal part of the property might fall
into the hands of his political opponents, and thereby greatly en-
danger the scat of the gallant Colonel for Westmoreland, has been
obliged to adopt this cautious proceeding. It is, indeed, whispered
that the Colonel is about to become the purchaser himself, not wish-
ing to allow the advocates of free trale to gain such fearful odds.—
Coeliac Journal.
WHO WANTS A CHILD ?—Tho Western Times con-
tains a letter offering to any persOns who may be desirous ci adopt-
ing a child, a little boy between three and four yews of age, "whose
mental and bodily developments are of the first order," but whom
the parties its charge of him " cannot afford to support and educate
without proper remuneration." Prompt attention will he given to
any communication addressed to the editor of the Western Times, who
says that " his own hands are full of email life."
ELECTPIC TELEGRAPHS.—At a moment when many
persons are el') ing down the electric telegraph, Re Are glad to pre-
sent to the public some particulars which M. Breguet has just laid
before the Academie. Economical motives tended to substitute iron
wire instead of the'.; Pis wire used as yet, but it was predicted that,
for a direct communication Itom Paris to Rouen it would require no
less than a Bunsen pile of eighty plates. Nevertheless, the ex-
periment was made eind M. Breguet has stated that six pl.:tes
were sufficient. It, turning to the brass wires, it has been proved
that the dispatches ccadd be transmitted by a single plate. It was
therefore ,evident th :t the electric telegraph was applicable to lines
~f much greater extent. From Paris to Lille, for example, the dis-
t nice is one hundred leagues; to ascertain if correspondence could
be carried on at so great a distance, without an intermediate statist),
the wire was tripled to thrice the distance from Paris to Rouen, and
he result was ciaiwned with success. An electrical telegraph is
jaeing established between Antwerp and Brussels. It is stated to be
Oft SC improved a system, that a dispatch of fifty words may be re-
ceived ill three seconds. We do not believe that this Is possible,
howeYer exae4pot the system may be:
