CONDITION OF GEORGIA.
No Money No Business-No Credit
Rich Land Dollar an Acre and no
Buyers.

A correspondents of the New York Times,
whose letter seems to be carefully written.
has the following picture of the condition
of affairs in Georgia
During the last three or four weeks |
have travelled a good deal through the
State and have seen and conversed with
number of persons of every class, calling
and degree, from nearly every section. IL
is absolutely distressing to hear the con
stan: tale of ruin, disappointment and
hopelessness which is in every mouth.
Planters, merchants, manufacturers, labor
ers, are all alike, and all look forward to
the coming year as one of greater hardship
and distress than any they have ever known,
last year they were poor from the failure
of their crops, but there was still some
money among the commission merchants,
and credit, though not vigorous, had still
an existence. The little crop that was
raised brought large price, aud the hope
was universal that, by industry, with propl-
tlous seasons, the crop of this year would
lay the foundations of new prosperity and
tiourisAing trade. Now, the commission
merchants, like every one else. are broke.
They have made advances which they can.
not collect, and consequently they have
neither the money or the credit wherewlth
to afford help to any one this year. Credit
is US dead as secession or Confederate
money, and relief bills and stay-laws have
sealed its tomb and rendered it Impossible
for anybody less prescieDt than Cummings
or Miller to foreiel the period Of its resur-
rcction. The people were Industrious.
They worked hard and diligently. The
seasons were as propiticus as bountiful
Providence could make them throughout
the greater portion of this State. Large
crops were made but they have not nearly
realized what it cost to produce them. so
that to day it is undenably true that
the people are relatively much poorer
than they were at the same time in
1866. Individual cases of ruin, which
must result in want, are known to me,
and fear, from what | learn. they
are not exceptional Lands are absolutely
worthless Rich plantations could not
bring s an acre if sold tomorrow. In
every direction planters and farmers are
discharging laboters from inability to feed
and pay their wages. They are selling
their stock for what it will bring to pur-
chase food for their families The stores.
usually busy and full at this season, are
as dull and empty as in the dog days.
Every branch Of trade, every department OF
industry is at stand STILL Even the whls-
ky shops-the last refuge Of the destitute
are deserted, and their keepers complain
As loudly as more mcritorlous ccalers OF the
hard times.

A Legend on the Rhine.

The castle Was grand, and the lady fair,
And knight OF the good old time was there,
Where the Rhine flowed on to the sea
The knight looked up, and the lady down
His brow wore smile, and hers frown,
And the Rhine flowed ON to the sea.
Then heart-quake shivered his coat Of mail
And the lady looked up and down and blushed :,
While the Rhine flowed ON to the sea.
ThcE he fell on his knees-he must needs con-
fess-
Would she wed She would-she whispered
'syes,';
And still flowed the Rhine to the sea.
And the knight was brave, and the lady fair,
And they lived in the grand old castle there,
While the Rhine flowed on to the sea,
And there as learn from some books Of mine,
Still flows the flood of the rolling Rhine,
As steadily or to the sea,
And ladies may blush, and knights may swear,
But there it will be in a hundred years,
Still flowing on to the sea-

s@ An exchange utters historical truth
when, discussing the negro question:, says:
There is no example in history of free in

Mexico and the South American republics
tried the experiment of fee institutions,
originating with the Spanish race, and ad.
uniting Indians and negroes to the suffrage;
but those rickerty republics have been a
constant scene of anarchy and tumult, and
should serve as warning, not as an eX-
ample. We suppose no Republican will
care to cite the history of the cut throat
inhabitants OF San Domingo. The negroes
vote in Jamaica, and are majarity but
Jamaica is VIGOROUSLY the worst governed
of all the British colonies, and the state Of
things there would be intolerable, If the
home government did not constantly exert
its restraining authority. If the Republi-
can policy is carried out, three years will
not elapse before the horrors of San Domin
