Edward F. Randolph writes to the Intelligencer,
from Iowa, that grand daughter Of gen Nathaniel
Greene is now an inmate of the house of doctor Geo.
N. Hinkle, of Decatur county, in that State Her
father, John Neville Greene, left five children, who
are destitute. The grandchildren of the man who
was second only to Washington in the services rem
ded to his country in the revolution are dependent

The christlanised jews in the United States are to
hold convention in New York city during the pre-
sent month. The prominent matters to be consider

Welearn from the Paulding Clarion, that the coun-
ties Of east Mississippi fast filling n.y. The i'm
migrants are principally from Alabama and Georgia
The Clarion says that during the past winter and
spring large number of families have bought lands
gone to work clearing forests and making for them
selves future homes This is all attributable to rail
road facilities; the Mobile and Ohio railroad having
furnished an outletto scope of country which here
ofore was too far from navigation to make planting
prosperous. This is the beginning of the end; in
lew years, when the contemplated railroads are com
pleted, we expect to see piney woods teeming with
IN overfowing population. This is practical il
ustratlon Of the benefits derived from railroads.
