EMIGRATION TO MIDDLE GEORGIA.
The Atlanta papers record large
immigration flowing into the interior
Of the State. MANY OF them are
English and Northern people, who
are amply supplied with funds to
purchase land and engage in manu>
featuring industries, whi!c a large
proportion, the Atlanta Herald
reports, are whites residents of
Louisiana and South Carolina, who
have emigrated to escape negro rule
in those States, TO higher ATTITUDES,
where the negro population is IN SUBS
ordination. There is, IN consequence,
a remarkable decrease in coast prop
erty, and the Herald" Instances the
Hill plantation on the Waccamaw
River, South Carolina, now offered
for twelve hundred dollars, that two
years ago commanded as high as
twelve thousand dollars. Land on
another rico plantation is offered at
seventy,five cents per acre, which.
previous to negro rule in the Stale.
was held at from seventy five to one
hundred dollars per acre.

A SOund Platform.

The following is the platform of the
Farmers and Peoples Auth Monopoly
Pary of Livingston county, Illinois.
Every farmer and workingman in the
couutry can stand uuon it and make u
successful fight s9a nst all opposing
classes aud interests. We endorse every
word aud sentiment of this platform
DECLARATION. .
This organiz tIion is opposed to railroad
steads, tsriff steals, ealary grab
steals, bank steals, and every other
folm of stealing by which the farmer aud
laboring classes are robbed of the legiti-
mate fruits of their labor.
PLATFORM
|. We are ia favor OF controlling by
law the railroad corporations of our state.
2. We submit To taxation aud duties
to meet the nt csesity of the Government,
but denounce as unjust and oppressive sli
taxation for the benefit of special classes.
3. We are iu favor of the present bauk-
ing system being so made that all men,
by giving the proper security, should
have equal privileges, no that supply and
demand shall regulate our mooey market
4. We are opposed to all future grants
of land to railroad or other corporations,
and believe tnat the pubI1c domain should
be held sacred to the actual settlers.
3. We are in favor OF trne system of
civil service reform, making honesty and
capsciay the only valid claim for pubic
employment and believe that the Office
should seek the man, and not the man the
Office.

Here are neurly half a million
of acres in Alabama and nearly q
million in Mississippi ready for tho
settlement of colonies. The land is
of good quality, capable of produce
ing corn cotton and sugar eane
equal to any land In the country,
and according to seasons will pro-
duce fruits and grasses better than
the best. To great extent, it is dem
sely covered with yellow or lopg
strawed pine, which surpasses all
other pine for value when maaufac-
tured into lumber. In msny in
stances the trees grow to sheight OF
eighty and one hundred feet With
scarcely limb TO interfere with the
logs. Taking into consideration tho
numerous streams running through
the land terminating IN the several
rivers leading into the Gulf, thus
giving facilities in reaching markets.
as we'll as the railroads runring
north and south furnishing transpo-
tation, together with the fact that
the question ofsuppIy of lumber is be-
coming q serious one in the north
ern pineries and the demand con
stantly increasing, it is evident that
these lands being thrown on the mar
ket q, such low prices furnishes a
field for settlement unequalied---

LOCATIONS FOR COLONIES.


Upon lands contiguous to the Mo
bile and Ohio Railroad, within the
State of Alabama, thousands of fami-
lies could be settled at a minimum
cost. There is no more genial region
in the world. For the cultivation of
sugar>cane, potatoes, and for fruits
and vegetables to supply he North

greatest attraction to immigrants.

NEcRoMANCY.-It is worthy Of
remark that nccromancy, or attempts
ing to conjure up the spirits of the
dead, is not original with modern
spiritualists or spirit rappers. 1t
was among the heathenish practices
of the Canaanites and afterwards
existed In Greece and Thessaly. 1t
is condemned in Scripture, and it is
no less an sbomination now than in
ancient times.

If there is one class of middlemen
that the people are watching close-
ly, il is those professional office SEEK
ers who haye slipped inte the Order
merely to advance their personal as
pirations. All over tie West this
class have been specially singled ont
by the farmers, and their movements ts
received proper attention These
otiice-seekers have had their day.
They will never be able again to con,
troll the masses by packed conventions
and other tricks, that is, as long as
our Order lives, and the impression
now very generally prevails that it
has become a permanent institution
in the country.-[ Exchange.

FROG BARoNETERs.-In some coun'
tries frogs are used as bsrometers |;
the species employed for this purpose
is the green tree-frog. They are
placed in tall glass bottles with little
wooden ladders to the top ot which
they always climb in fine weather,
descend al the approach OF bad
weather. This is cheap and highly
interesting weather-glass, where the
green trce-frog is to be procured in
its natural state.

CONCORD GRANGE.-We had the
pleasures ON Saturday last of mingling
with the members of this large

membership now numbers sixty~six,
and is still increasing. The material
of this Grange is Of the best Of the

aud iheis wives and daughters along

best citizens from old Copiah are
among the members.-BeauregarC
