We were eight hours crossing South

Of which felt quite ashamed, on tlrsl

we ascended hank into the State OF
Georgia. This seemed the beginning OF

and surface more uneven and picturesque.
Augusta, the town we landed at, looked
very New English to my eye. There was
a lively cir about the people in the streets,

skin underneath looking fat, shiny, and
comfortable. The curious part OF il was

hardly as clean and tidy as would be
necessary to pass for respectable in a
working man at the North. Most likely
he was an eccentric specimen. but there
was no misgiving Of his authority IN the
air of his faithful Juba. -
There must either be generally dit
fused taste for park scenery in Georgia
or there is some local advantage in thin

der6rush, which appears to the common
policy of every inhabitant. Woodlands
