Good 1 ns, that we were not on this bumpi; staving thing last night when we wc trying to sleep over tho Georgia Roi The lands in all this part of Georgia, far as one can see, are too poor for me attempt a description.

Tl Judge, to whom I had written in regal to a minister's pass, advises that I br ah emigrant tickot for myself and wil and assures me that we shall have fir class passage. Mr. Nevill has sold n j the tickets through to Kansas City, Mi: souri, and has checked all my baggaj through to that point Those who antic pate emigaating West, would do well I correspond with Nevill. Sunday 14th, 10 A.M.-Wo havepasse through thc Mountains and Nashvilli and what else I cannot tell, during th night and early morning, and are no1 spending a few hours of the Sabbath ? rest, in Union City, Tenn. At 8:20 P. M we will take the Moble and Ohio trai for Columbus. Monday loth, 7. A. M.-Wo begiu t ? look out, after whirling away for th i whole night, and now what do wc see j I and Mrs. Horne, and even our habt ' are all deeply interested, but what do w j see? Here on our right, as we are dash j ing along, is a great sheet of water. Soo: we reach a place where itappears rugged and seems to be filled with great rook sticking out above the surface. Som one remarks, here is an Ice-drift. W look out on the left; thc rugged hills almost mountain high-bristle as agains the sea on whose verge wo aro moving and they are almost covered with snow Lula says "Papa, soda." No child, thai is not soda; nor does this appear to bi really "the world we live in." I han heard of a man in the moon ; I havo reac of tho inhabitants of other planets, ant have ask od how did they first get a foot hold there ; but now conies up aquestioi which never occurred to mo before-hov did ue get there? Now, strange as i may seem we can almost answer thu question, when we recollect a few of tnt incidents of last night's trip. When al about 10 P. M., we reached Columbus, we heard a stalwert lantern-holder ex claiming, " passengers on the right foi the Iron-Mountain Railway ; on thc left for steamer to Cairo." We went to thc right, and were scated in a car, which soon bogan to move backward. After a lew minutes, forward we went, and were soon verging upon what appeared to be "thc jumping off place," when, sudden ly, bang went thc train, with a jar which ?cerned to indicate that wo were against Uic very base of an immovable mountain .if the hard metal, and we thought of thc Iron Mountain Railway. Soon we heard the movingof j>onderous machinery, and we began to move off. Cars, passengers, baggage and all stock still in the centre of a huge, vessel of some kind. After a lapso of Bomo considerable time under these circumstances, we were again whirUng away on what appeared to bo " terra firma," until tho ?ceno which I have described aspresonted this morning was before us, and these thoughts were suggested. Arrived in St. Louis at 8 A. M. And failed to make connection with the North Missouri Train. Aro satisfied that this is old earth which wo arc treading upon, though wo have not seen apinetreo since we entered that hugo vessel last night; nor had we, indeed, for a long while be fore we reached that point. By examin ing the map you will see that we crossed the Mississippi at that point, and carno up on the West sido of tho river to this place. At 3:30 A. M. to-morrow, we expect to reach Miami which is about 200 milos North West of this. Remember what was said about tho "prospects." .Yours, truly, E. W. HORNE. MIAMI, MO., Jan. 22d, 1872. Dear Advertiser:-! wrote you a brief account of my trip, which I sent to you from St. Louis on the 15th. At 8 P. M., on that date we took the train on tho North Missouri Railroad, and during the night made the trip, 194 miles, to Miami Depot, which is two miles from this town. I can tell yon nothing of the appear ance of the country over which we passed, for wo amid not soe Jt; ?nd, strange to tell, this ls true of the entire trip excopt las miles from. Atlanta to Chattanooga. My letters are therefore almost blank so far as-a d?scripttomof the ooubtry iftcori d?rh??r . tr; . - y / : .v [irj Vx?su^&tVPk^the lt?Eh*, after " re J. frenhmenta," wa: mounted a back and dashed off over a rich Prairie fer about half a mile, the land frozen-how deep we cannot tell-we reached a forest. Now do not talk to me of " Ammoniated Su perphosphate," "Wando," or Phosphate Beds. Here is the natural soil as rich as you could desire, and so deep that it will never need a fertilizer. The growth is ash, walnut, locust, sycamore, hickory, <fcc. Here are black walnut trees more than six feet in diameter. Wo reach Missouri River. Hero at the ferry is a rapid current which pre vents freezing except at the edges, but above and below it is completely frozen J over. We crop. Here goes a team up i tho bill with a load of ice from the River. It ia tut in beautiful blocks, and is fully one foot in thickness. We are comfortably lodged in the City Hotel in Miami. Mattie and our babe enjoying good health, and quito cheerful. After dinner, walk about town and make acquaintance of some of the Baptist brethren and sisters, also some Presby terians, and some Campbellites. All seem remarkably fraternal and clever. This town is built on little mountains, whose North side is now covered with snow-the place altogether quite pic turesque. The sky is clear, the air still, and the weather quite mild. 17th-I leave my family in the Hoteb hire a horse and saddle for $1.50 per day, and leave for Glasgow, 25 miles S. E. of this, on this River below. I pass to-day over a high rolling prairie-rolling or undulating-but by no means to be called hilly. The soil is black mud, and from three to six feet deep. Corn is planted three feet each way, and three in a hill; fine ears at that. How do I know ? why sir, here are fields extending as far as you can see, from which not one ear nor blade has j'et been housed. The fodder is of eourso gone, and the stems arc standing as in our State they would in summer after a severe hail. I suppose there have not been 100 stacks of fodder saved in Saline County. I learn that th ese lands generally yield 50 to 75 bushels com per acre. They sell at ?30 to $40 per acre, improved; unimproved about *'J0. ' Most farmers here raise some to bacco and some hemp. I pass long rows of corn-pens, nearly all yet wi thou i, cover. I learn that these people are not afraid ot having rain enough at this sea son of tho year to injure their com. I pass a lot of corn-pens said to contain 800 barrels. The lot has just been sold to a stock-feeder for 800 dollars ; that is, it is sold at 20 cents per bushel. A farmer here tells mo that he ha^ in a good crop year, raised moro than thrco thousand bushels without help, excopt in gather ing, and that when gathered he could not command the cash for it at 50 cts. per barrel-i. e. at 10 cts per bushel. Farmers here are paying five bushels of corn per day for a hand to assist in gathering corn. I have seen them gath ering. A wagon moves' across the field, whilo hands on each side and in rear break and pitch tho com into it. Of course the wagon moves only a few yards before stopping for the hands, where land yields com as it does herc. I arrivo at Glasgow where Brother Bell and Bro. Lawes have been preaching for twelve days. This will seem somewhat strange to some in our State when they consider that we are in the middle of January, and in frozen Missouri. I assist thc brethren in their work here for a while, and pass on to Fayette ia Howard County, where I labor in the same work for thrco days, and return through Glas gow, to Salisbury, in Charitan Comity, on the North Missouri Railroad. Here I spend ono day, and return on tho Road to Miana. Find wifoand babe still com fortable and cheerful. Thus far I am delighted with the coun try and the people. I am not yet permanently located. More anon. Yours, ever, E W. HORNE. Brevities am! Levities. .!>t?~ A Farmer saw an advertised re cipe to prevent wells and cisterns from freezing.

" Let bim come in," roared the philosopher, and an aged dar key, clud in broadcloth, gold-rimmed spec tacles, and a cane headed with thc same precious metal, walked in.

An Incident. The following little story is told at thc expense of a young lady school teacher in Altoona, who is very properly anxious in regard to the prevention of small-pox in her school, and therefore strictly enforces the rule that whenever a case of sickness is reported in the family of any ono of her pupils, thc pupil must bring a certificate irom the family physician stating that thc disease is not cont agious, failing in which the pupil must remain away until all dan ger is over. A few days ago she was in formed that one of her pupils, a little girl of Teutonic extraction, had sickness in her family-On being questioned, the girl ad mitted that " she had aick at her house ;" that her mother was sick, and th it she had " marks on her face." She was ac cordingly sent home. She returned in a few days, however, and reported that her " father was sick." She was again sent home, with orders not toc?me again with out a certificate from the family physi cian. The next day she returned to school and shyly siding up to the teacher, with ber fiuger in her mouth, and her little bon net swinging by tho strings, she said : " Miss-, we've got a leetle baby at our house, but mother told me to tell you that it ian t calchin." Thc, teacher said she was very glad it wasn't " catching," and told her pupil to take her seat-Holli daysburg (Pa.) Register. - , S?O?O fertilizers. . . ,'.WM~. JOHNSON. Agent, ?3 Dora's Milla, .S.

I seo not a step before mc. As I tread the days of the year ; But the past is still in God's keeping, .

It may be He is waiting For the coming of my feet, Some gift of such rare blessing Some joy so strangely sweet, That my hps can only tremble With tho thanks I can't repeat. Oh ! restful blissful ignorance, 'Tis blessed not to know ; It keeps me quiet in the arms Which will not let me go, And hushes my soul to rest On the bosom that loves me so. So I go on not knowing, I would not if I might ; I would rather walk m the dark with God Than go alene in the light; I would rather walk with Him by faith Than walk alone by sight. My heart shrinks back from the trials Which thc future may disclose, Yet I never had a sorrow But that the dear Lord chose, So I send tho coming tears back With the whispered word6 : He knows WAY TO MAKE A POOR PASTOR. 1. Be careless and irregular in at tending church. Never go except when you can manufacture no good excuse to stay at home. 2. VV'hen ac church be either asleep or staring about. Do not listen to the sermon. 3. When you go home, complain of the sermon as light and chafly, or dry and uninteresting. 4. Treat your pastor with a cold and uninviting civility, and then com plain of him because he does not. visit you. 5. Neglect to pray for a blessing upon him and his labors, and then complain of him because the church does not prosper. 6. Be always finding fault with your pastor, and yet regret that he is not more popular with the people. 7. Be very lukewarm and worldly minded, and yet complain of him for want of zeal. 8. Neglect to provide for his neces sary wants and then complain of him because he wants his salary. Do all these things, and you will never fail to have a poor pastor. "Ma," said a young Miss to her mother " what is emigrating?'' " Emigrating my dear, is a young lady going to Nebraska." " Ma, what is colonizing?" " Colonizing, is marrying there, and having a family." " Ma, 0, how I would like to emi grate and colonize." That is what ?ils our Hauner. -.--. A lady of Connecticut writes the New York Tribune that she has a curiosity which she desires to present to the Russian Grand Duke-" a pic ture-frame made ol toe-nails, the on ly one in the world." Of course, the Grand Duke ought to have it. A. G. D. who "oes through life without hav O D ing possessed a picture-fraine made of toe-nails, or something of that sort, strikes us a-, having lived pretty much in vain. i ? I ITT, i m I ??5" There is a prospect ot' immediately l finishing I he Catholic Church in Aiken. An eminent ecclesiastic from Montreal, "now a visitor at Aiken, has taken charge { of the enterprise, and, with thc aid ol'a New York priest, also in Aik< ti, and otb? .?rs, will m. doubt .-con linish ilie work. A set of vestments, with complete altar fur niture and all necessary articles for cele brating muss, has been donated by the Kev. rather in charge. Enough has been collected aud promised to warrant the commencement <>:' tho work, and within sixty clays the church will be opened for services. pb- One of the carpet-bag collectors of cusses and customs in Florida, has re ceived, his reward. Appointed by thc I President to collect taxes, he Bklrrnped : around among the industrious white and black laborers there to good advantage. Ono day having in his pocket nearly a thousand dollars of taxes collected from tile citizens of Marion county, he was overtaken in thc road by sunic innocent | contraband ; his soul was sent to the God who gave it, Iiis pockets rifled of their " contents, and he left a mangled corpse . by thc road-tido to prove that loyalty \ pays. ?5?r* Some time ag 't was reported that ] a white man was visit.. the negroes in ? North Alabama, with Hie statement that ? tho emancipation proclamation by Lin- ( coln bad been burned at Chicago, and t that it would require a largo amount of money to get up another ; and that, un less thc thing was done soon, slavery would be rostered, and they would aligo back into servitud". Upon this, he was soliciting monev, with considerable suc cess. Wc now hear that tho same genius { has boen figuring at several points in Mississippi. C2T Since the exposure of his rascally Custom-house favorites, Grant, it is said, expresses himself in favor of sweeping reforms in the public service. A little sooner and a little moro sincere repen- 1 tanco might have advanced his prospects ! for the Presidency. As lt is, no is too . late. Tho thing hasn't got tho right look. ; It is a "goblin damned" that engenders doubting. Il FALL JRADE. M GUNS. GUNS. GUNS.

THE Undersigned in Recognition of the demand for an out-spoken and independent organ at tho Capital of tho honest people ol' South Carolina, has es tablished THE SOUTH CAROLINIAN. This journal will bo devoted to the Political and Industrial interests of the Stale, and will also consider the questions that affect the whole country. Whilst wo expect to be the unfettered representa tive of the true interests and the Consti tutional rights of all classes of the peo ple, we shall seek not to forgot that our zeal should bo tempered with discretion. and that the sense even of wrongs and outrages should not cause us to overlook the suggestions of prudence. Our policy we shall seek to make at once bola and sagacious. Our leading objects will be to secure political fidelity, and to further the work of material development, and to advance the cause of virtue, intelli gence, and official integrity. Against corruption in high places, against offi cial swindling, against all Rings detri mental to the popular interests, we shall wage stern and ceaseless war. We shall further ondeavor to make THE SOUTH CAROLINIAN such a vehicle of News and Intelligence on every important subject, as will com mend it on this score, to the public. We propose to make a liberal use of all the means at our command to impart value md interest to our columns. " Democratic" though we are in our political sympathies and views of gov ernment, we shall be prepared to unite cordially with good and true men of all other parties in securing the priceless blessings of good and honest govern ment. " Native and to the mannor born," we are, nevertheless, in full accord with good and true men, whatever may be the acci dents of birth and country. We advo cate tho policy of a generous welcome to the European immigrant and the North ern settler. The South Carolinian makes an appeal to the honest masses of the State. Inde pendent as it is, and will be, of all rings ind cliques, and combinations inconsis tent with the popular interests, it must lerive its bodily life from tho people at large, whose interests in the country, an?' in the village, town and city, it will faith fully and zealously uphold.
