Correspondence OF me Richmond Dispa,ch.l


DANDUEG, GA, May 90, 1871.
A cordial greeting both for yourselves and
your host Of subscribers in the Old Domin.
ion is extended by brother Nir@inian aud
subscriber away down in Wilkes county,
Ga.
We left the old State last fall, and wendell
our way by rail and steamboat to Scrlycn
county. We found the country there low
and sandy, covered exclusively with pine,
, the climate sicklv in summer. In February
we left S.. and have since resided in this
county. The lands here are very good, cspc-
cially the bottoms, and produce corn, cot
ton, wheat, and oats in abundance, though
for the last few years the farmers have
. turned their attention almost exclusively
! TO the production of King Cotton. The
sudden decline has brought many to their
senses, and they have planted quite large
crops Of corn this spring.
Negroes are us abundant here as in our
State, and just as tritllng. Give them ten
cents. and they won't strike lick for you
unit that is gone and they are pilichcd by
hunger. l believe they work on the "sharc

shake of the hand and a hearty welcome
in this county. 1t is all foolishncss for a
person to think he can make more in the
South than in his own State. Nlessrs. Edi-
tors, you well know that money cannot be
shaken from trees anywhere. If it were
possible, I am sure us much could be shaken
from the trees in Old Virginia as in any
other southern State. Whenever you think
you can get riches by leaving your old
State, would beg you to remember it is
like finding the bag OF gold ut the end o.
