A Georgia Yarn.

The New York Tribune published q
letter purportiDg to be from Georgia
correspondent, who writes that nothing
is more common. when oHe gets up III
the morning in that State, than to find
dead negroes lying along the roadside
with bullet-holes through their heads.
1t is suggested that if the writer had
shaken them he would have found they
were not dead.

Editors of the Register:
Thinking that, perhaps, few fact
in relation to Piedmont, one of the mos
business and fourishing places in th'
State, would not be uninteresting t.
your readers, 1 send you some. p, r
This place Contains about 25O0 inhab
itants, embracing many enterprisipl
and intelligent gentlemen, and ha'
quite number of business houses thai
would do credit to towns Of much more
pretensions. Among them l will only
only notice that OF Davis g. Co. A,
the town has been built up since the
construction of the Baltimore & Ohio
railroad, all the buildings srsnew, and
most of them of q neat andssubstaRtial
character Fifty new buildings-many
of them fine ones-were put up last
year, and q greater number are in con.
temptation and In progress of erection
this season. Among them are two new
Methodist Churches and Catholic
Church, that will cost so, 900.
Westernport, Maryland, q thriving
town immediately across the river, is
about being united to Piedmont by a
substantial bridge, which will add much
to the business and convenience of both
places.
The Railroad Company have extensive
machine shops here, which employ some
three hundred mechanics, to whom are
paid about Sl7 900 a month. Other rail-
road employees in the place are paid
about $4,000, which distributes some
thing like $4,000 month among it's
people from this source alone.
There is also very large coal trade
from this point.
Westernport contains number OF
fiourishing manufacturing establish
ments and more are about to be erected.
The two towns united will make Pied
mont one Of the most important business
points on tho railroad west of Cumber.
land.
A valuable addition to the town is
about to be made by Joseph Henderson
Esq, and some other enterprising capi-
talists, in connecting to it by bridge q
fine large island In the river, which has
already been divided into five hundred
building lots. There is on this island
one of the finest water powers in the
State, and it cannot be many years be.
fore it will all be covered over with fac
tories and residences.
The people of Piedmont are enterpris-
ing and genial and will not fail to give
this town bright future.
The "Sims House," under the superin-
tendence of Mr.. Smith, is a we'll kept
asd comfortable hotel which adds much
to the pleasure of visit to the place.

Judging from the signs OF the times, we
are inclined 10 think this camp bids fair TO
he one OF the most popular that has been in
oar section of country for number OF years.
Already a large number OF the vehicles are
engaged, of every conceivable kind, for con-
veying the populace to the camp. Already
the camp ground is taxed TO its utmost capa-
city for room for the accommodation of the
tents and their contents. This woods of Mr..
Johnson's naturally was Designed for camp
ground. The elevation Is all that ono could
wish for, and the massive oaks are dotted
here and there, just as are wanted, appar-
emily, aud that which is the main essential
to the locality OF good camp ground is both
plenty and handy, and that is pure water
This camp IS going tobe largely represented
by this city, as well as the churches OF the
surrounding country Mother Asbury and
her two offsprings will be there, all OF which
are spiritually alive, and all united 10 give
battle TO sin aud corruption in whatever
form it may appear.
II is predicted they will do a noble worl
IN their church cause, and will bring back {
bright record OF their good works, and will
be worthy of the appellallon OF "Well done
thou good aud faithful servants" which WI
hope and trust will be the case.

FIGHT BETWEEN BABooN AND SalPis
CREW. An English steamer, which arrived
at Liverpool from Africa, a short time since,
had OH board three giant chacmas, or ba-
Blooms, two croGodiles, several monkeys, and
other specimens of the natural history Of the
country. The balloons were very ierocious
and possessed of great strength. For their
sale custody, a strong den with iron bars was
provided and placed near the lorecaslle, so
that they could constantly be under the eye
OF the crew. All went well until the morn
ing of the second day out, when Il crash was
heard, and in an instant the large clacma
had wrenched several bars off, and tho next
instant was on the iorecastle, armed with
the bars with winch he had been confined.
Here his majesty paused Tor moment, and
in dignilied manner surveyed his captors.
A rope having been got, moose was formed
and cast over his head, and he struggled
hard to extricate himself, but without avail.
He then attacked one of the seamen, whom
he seized by the arm, and, Notwithstanding
that several OF the men belabored him with
weapons, the brute would not relinquish his
hold until lie had torn the flesh from above
the elbow TO near the wrist, and had been
rendered insensibie, when he was carried tc
his den.

Last Tuesday morning, al hali-pAst six
O'Clock, large concourse Of Masons and
their wives and daughters, numbering in all
over one thousand persons, assembled al the
Pusey, Jones s. Co. wharf Tor an excursion TO
Cape May. In due time the boat steamed
down the creek TO the inspiring strains oil a.
most excellent brass band. ...
The ride Idown tile bay was delightful,
and the hundreds Of eXcurslonists were en-
thusiaslic in their praises OF the excellent
management displayed aboard the boat:
On The arrival OF the party at Cape May,
ii was found that the hotel of Mr.. McMakin
was so thronged with visitors that he would
be unable TO accommodate so large delega-
ton OF guests, so they were compelled to
distribute themselves around among the cili'
zens, who entertained them in the most hos
pllable manner.
Alter several hours spent IN disrorling
among the waves of the briny deep, the par.
ty returned TO Wilmington at hali-past II
O'Clock at night; and it was unanimously DC

LUDIcRoUs ScENE.-The New Albany,
Indiana Ledger says A ludicrous scene
was witnessed on the river bank at the foot
OF Pearl street, last night. About O'Clock,
a large party of ladies and gentlemen, on
their way 10 the river To participate in and
witness the ceremony oil baptism, were
startled by the appearance of a couple oil
masculine bathers rising from the water as
Venus did from the ocean. One OF the
bathers started up the wharf TO secure his
clothes and decamp, while the other fioun-
dered along the shore, and was last seen
near The ferry dock, trying TO hire small
negro TO bring his clothes up from the shore
below. AT the sight of the first bather the
congregation scattered in every direction
but lie having hurried of up the bank will
his clothes under his arm, the stampederi
were hedged in and became quiet lonl
enough to repair TO the waters edge ami
witness the ceremony. An outsider, wit
witnessed the scene, says words are made
quatc to describe the scene as ii appeared 4
/ him.
