know oil no class of speakers, OF any profess
sion Or in any Sale, more eloquent, perseverng
md interchangeable, than the Wing Orators oil Ga
during the present CANVASS. The Electors and
Candidates for Congress are in the field, defend
ing mauiully those great Wing principles, which
now know no North, no South, no East, no
West-hut which are identified with the interest
and perpetuity of the whole Union. The Texas
volcano in its first eruption threatened destruction
to the Wings the gaIvanic glare of It's sudden
flames dazzed, nay blinded the eyes of both
parties but now as the smoke has rolled away
and the scorchng lava is cooled and crusted over,
one party at least, and | may add many OF the
other, see nothing in It's crater but the foul sedl-

large Whig mass meeting was held IN Mad-
son, Morgan Co. July 3l-Judge Bcrrien Pres.
Ii is estimated that 5 or 30 thousand men were
present; Georgia never witnessed so large an
assembly before; Alabama Tennessee, and s.
Carolina were well represented.
The evening previous to Wednesday the APP
pointed day, so many thousands had already as
sembled that four stands were occupied by dis
tmguislled speakers in addressing the assembly
till midnight. In the morning this mass of mind,
bone and muscle marched 10 the camp. ground,
where different stands were occupied by speakers
from Alabama, Mississippi, South Carolina and
Georgia. At noon good barbecue dinner, got
up by the citizens of Morgan Co. was served up
on tables, whose combined lengths would reach
mile. The day was warm, but what Of that
when 20 thousand hearts were pulsng at fever
heat, under the exciting eoquence of Preston,
WADDY THOMPSON, TooMBs, MERRlwETHER,
STEPHENS, and kindred speakers.
Georgia will poll heavy vote for Clay-equal
to her vote OF 1910. The largest Loco. Foco
meeting yet held by Mr.. Folks friends was at
Indian Springs, about fous thousand in number
They are to have another at Macon the last of
this month-in Mr. Chappelrs district, who, you
know, has joined the Locos, and will be sup

didate for Congress-wc hope he Will not be
elected.

Planter than 10 the Politician. The corn crop
never was better, some stalks grow from Is TO l I

raised, was about medium: Cotton begins to open :;
some bales of new Cotton are already in market

Our peach orchards are loaded with fruit
peaches rpen here about the lst of July, and last
till November. Much OF the land i'll this State
is entirely denuded of its soil, in consequence Of
heavy rains and improper cultivation; if it is
ever redeemed 1t will be only after series OF
years. The scenery and verdant beauty of the
South is very much impaired by fields OF broom

soil--whch has eli gone, a part tn the guilies,
and the remainder to the North of Europe in the
shape Of Cotton. There are several manufacto.

my opinion, the time is not lar future, when thr
