The Worlds correspondent, writing from
Columbus, Georgia, July 4, says that the scar.
city of of provisions in that region has been
such that the people have planted plenty OF
corn. A good deal has been put into the
ground since the cessation Of fighting. la
this State, as in other Southern States have
passed through, there will be sufficency of
corn for the people themselves There is now
real scarcity, and the prices of provisions
are evidences of the fact. Poor -four is worth
three dollars per hundred, in coin. Boarding
at the hotels is four dollars per day, the same
as at the best New York hotels, this being the
only resemblance between them. The best
families are living on corn bread, bacon and
buttermilk, with an occasional chicken. There
is vast number of poor widows and helpless
people that must exist somehow, but nobody
knows how. The poverty of the people is ex-

million dollars. At Columbus three large

fifty-four thousand bales of cotton, and nearly
million bushels of corn. The ravages of
