CLEAR WEATHER AGAIN.
On the morning oi the 10th, the sky was
rnce mora clear, and the SUI shuue brfrhtlv
as 1t emerged from beneath the eastern ho-
rizon. II vas most welcome visitor, not
only to myself, hut to the whole country.
But did not venture on my Journey that
day. The rphds were so deep With mud
thai my progress would hare been slow and
n1Y ride disagTceab1e In the extreme. But
the sun had not been up more than an hour
IT was almost impossible to live. Not q

in doors most Of the day, aud thought Of the
unfortunate Hated, and his Iourneyinss
through the "world Of chauce.''
ON THE wAr AGAIN.
About ten O'Clock OF the 18th, I started on
my Journey again, taking the direction Of
Lodi, named after tho bridge Of that name,
because. many years since, q charter was
granted BY the legislature OF Georgia, to con-
atruct bridge oyer the Chattahoochie, at
that place, but the whole project, like most
Southern practical enterprises, ended In q
meeting OF the citizens and the passage Of
scries ofreso1utions, which, Tor length, would
considerably bent the Pentateuch, and few
speeches windy enough to drive q line Of
l,attle ships from San Francisco to Shanehac.
The cash was not thar, and 1t never will oe
forthcoming, Till the desplsed Yankee gets
the land, OF it lies forever barren waste.
BRl.w1Dow.
The roads were very heavy. and1 only
travelled ten miles, hall way to Lodi and five
miles west, across the country from Newman.

age, the subject Of matr3monT was discussed,

Of his country, WEb had actually married

"kol I'd never marry Yankee-that's

there was pause, and she mildly added,

CARROLL COUNTY.
On the following day, crossed the Chat
taboechie, and entered Carroll County, tax
Ing the direction OF Carollton, the county
seat. The country here il sone What rolling.
and the farms scattered, and the crops looked
little better. Nevertheless, tho rains had
prevented the cultivation Of cotton. md The
weeds wsre higher than tbs com. Bit The lst- M

The cotton, too, stood better. though less

their seed chiefly from the last years. crops in
Tennessee, and It Was fresh what MAS plant-
