will tr: to. us the renewal Of hope, aud we
go forwa. leaving to ia6ai,e wisdom the
consequences W5eo we see the beautiful
trees and flowers of many years cultivation
all gone, we need not yield TO gloon or des-
pondeucy. The branch.s remaining may
become. 4oder skillful culture, bowers Of
sweetness and rich fragrance.
Failing to get Salem we have our homes
and friends to comfort and console us. We
failed in grander and more momen,ous
movement (Secess.on) some years back, and
after having marched up the hill we feel con-
6den: that We marched down With honor.
Mr.. s. II. Jeakins will soon move to his

The Seaboard's Great Scheme.

The Seeboard Air Lines plan to es-

miles along It's line created a great deal
of talk yesterday TIE company owns
land along It's entire lioe except 10 the
cities and towns, and at some stations
it has trae<s which would make 6ne
farms. This land was bought when
the right of way was secured.
For some time past the division
superintendents have been going over
the system selecting the tracts for the
farms. Captain Berkeley. superintend-
ent of the Atlanta snd Monroe division,
the Georgia, Carolina and Northern.
went over the entire division With Mr.
Patrick on small handcar run by
steam. They made careful examina-
ton Of the ground and picked out the
places which seemed best adapted to
the experiments.

lioas and Georgia will have au object
lesson in farming right before their eyes
No farmer along the road will be more
than Eve miles from one of these ex.
pertinent farms. It is believed that
the influence on neighboriDg farmers
will be vest. As it is demonstrated
that this or that crop can be saccess-
fully cultivated, neighboring planters
will get the benefit.
Travellers will not fail TO derive
ssrong impressions from what they see
and the farms will be great advertise

the railroad passes Homeseekers will
be enabled to see what the soil eau
