ALetter from Alabama.
JACKSONVILLE, Ala, Dec. %,

JACKSONVILLE, ALA, Dec. q, 1oSO.
Editor Intclligcnccr:: Please find enclosed
$3.50, renewal of my subscription to your
paper.
Although my destinies have long been
cast with the people of this section OF the
South, and I have raised family on the
soil of Alabama, yet have not lost my love
for old South Carolina or interest in her
affairs.
The County that I live in (Calhoun) is
known Us one of the hill counties of the
State. or North Alabama, a contradistin-
cuished from the "black belt" or what is
known as the cotton belt, or South Ala
bama. Though we do not live III the cot
ton belt proper, we have good country for
cotton, our best lands yielding as high rs a
bale to the acre, and our second best as
much as half bale to the acre. Our aver
age Weld of corn is twenty bushels per acre.
Some of our best bottom lands bring as
high as sixty bushels per acre. Glover,
small grain and the grasses do well. In
fact. this is q natural stock raising country,
anG ought to be to the cotton belt of Ala
bama What Tennessee and Kentucky is to
the South. The country is splcndidly
| watered, and there is no lack of power for
machinery, and if capital were but directed
in this direction it would be fine manu-
featuring country as well. We already
have one mammoth cotton factory that will
commence operations about the middle oil
March, and the erection of another is to
begin Immediately. The mineral wealth
of the country is untold. East OF us but
thirty miles are rich copper and gold mines.
West of us about the same distance are ex-
tensive and inexhaustiblc coal fields. Here
we have the finest iron ore to be found in
the South, including the rare and valuable
| ore known as speigel ore. In short, the
possibilities Of this county are beyond cal
culation. Iron works abound along the
line of railroad that runs through this
| county, the Woodstock Iron Company o
this county being one of the finest in the
South.
Politically we are all right both as tc
State and County. Both are solidly. Dem,
ocratic. The white population in this par
of the State are largely in the ascendancy
and we have coed officers, as will always bt
the case where there is virtuous anu intel
ligent constituency behind them.
Pardon the length of this letter.
thought that perhaps sketch OF this coun'
trv might interest some of your readc!s.
Respectfully,

UNDER THE SNOW.
DY JOHN II. D0NER.

This beautiful poem originally appeared IN tht
Salem On. C) Press 1t is one of the most beautiful
gems that We have encountered in many days, and
| Just now can be fully appreciated:
The brown old earth lies quiet and still
Under the snow;
The burrows are hid on the broken hill
Under the snow;
Every twig Is fringed With mosSy pearl,
The dropping cedars bend to the ground,
The rose bush is drifted into the mound,
And still from the silent sky to the ground
The white fakes nOiselessly whirl
The roads and fields are buried deep
Under the snow;
The hedges lie in tangled heap
Under the snow;
And the little gray rabbits under them Creep
While the twittering, s2arrows eunningly peep
From the shcltering briers and costly sleep
Under the snow.
The rough old barn and sheds near by,
The mounded straws Of the wheat anu rye,
Are covered with snow;
The struggling fences are softened with down,
Every part is white, with c beautiful crown
Of drifted snow.
And think, as sit in the cleaning here,
Watching the objects disappear,
How many things arc folded low
Under the drift Of the falling snow
There are hearts that once were full Of love
Under the snow;
There are eyes that glowed with the soul Of love
Under the snow;
There are faded tresses Of golden hair
And locks that were blcached with the frost cl care
There are Inns that once were like the rose,
There arc bosoms that were stung with woes,
There are breasts that once were true and strong,
There are forms that once were raised in song
o, there's strange and mighty throng
Under the snow!
Another mound will once lie deep
Under the snow
And I will with the pale ones sleep
Under the snow.
O. God, transform my soul with grace
That in the lovelight of thY face
may stand pure when death shall place
Ny pulseless heart and body low
Under the snow!

MAILING WIVES LETTERS. Last Sat
urday night IA Newburyport gentleman,
coming to this city, was asked by fellow
passenger if he would be kind enough to
drop a letter in box when he arrived in
town. OF course he willingly agreed to
do the little errand, took the letter and
placed it in pocket, Tuesday morning
he put his hand in that pocket and brought
to light the missive. He had returned to
Newburyport and forgotten his errand.
Wishing to in part atone, he carried it to
the depot, gave it to the baggage master
with the request that the latter individual
hand it to some Boston bound passenger,
that it might be forwarded. The baggage
master took il and handed it to the first
man going to Boston whom he met. per-
feet stranger. This gentleman took it,
read the superscripton, and looked surpris-
ed. He tried to smile but was dumblound-
ed. At last however he spoke and said :
why, | gave this letter myself to a
gentleman on the train last Saturday night
to post. How on earth came you by itP''
The explanation was given, when he re-
marked that the letter had a history. 1t
was written last week Thursday by "a lady,
and given to a gentleman with the request
that he post it in Boston. He courteously
acquesced and put it his pocket and carried
it I'LL Saturday morning. He then turned
it over to the narrator of the story, whc
very properly carried it till evening, and
as he was not then going into Boston ne
turned it over to No. / of our tale, will
the results above described. That young
lady anxiously watches the mails, in bliss
ful ignorance of her letters wanderings.-

RUSSIAN BABIES. "A correspondent of

babies describes as follows what one sees

looks curiously at one odd little bundle

wall on peg, a third slung over one of
the main beams OF the roof and rocked by
the mother. who has the cord looped
over her foot. Why, that is Il child'

to that experienced ON treading upon a
toad which was supposed to be stone
: Why, what else should it beY answers
the mother.
Having learned so much in so short a
time. the inquisitive traveller wishes to
inform himself about the habits of the
creature in the bundle; but his curiosity
being somewhat dampened by the extreme
dirt of the little figure, he inquiries OF the

DESPAIR
The poor fellow takes up his little
bundle and, fully realizing that he has
now hidden farewell to the culture and
material comfort of his past life, he walks
out into the cheerless street. A group of
exiles, all pale and emaciated, are there
to greet him, take him to some of their
miserable lodgings, and feverishly de-
mand news from home. The new conner
gazes on them rs one in dream; some
are melancholy mad, others nervouSly
irritable, and the remainder have evident
-ly tried to find sOlace in drink. They live
in communities of twos and threes. have
food, II scanty provision OF clothes, money,
