Southern Linds fruin Northern farmers wini
want 'it emigrate. It is impnssiblo fur us to
advise all these correspondents as to particu

to diffuse it, too, in the only way which can

themselves. A convention of officers, rcpre
Bonting between thirty and forty toads, met in
Atlanta, on the 4th of January, and adopted
n system of ex? ursioit tickets, at greatly re
doced rutes, for actual settlers, or for persons
who wish to examine tho Country with ll view
to settlement or in vestment. There is a vaH
extent of country between thc Potomac, Ohio
und Mississippi Rivers were skilled labor is
badly wanted.'laud cheap, und nature prodi
gal of her gifts to those who have industry
to cathe! them. Thc regeneration of this re
gion we believe is to be effected by the sturdy
farmers of the North. But is has been diffiVu't
for them to select homes in thc South. The
distances are great, and fares on thc Southern
roads are very high. This new arrangement
will rc ..ove the difficulty. Holders of ex
cursion certificates will be taken at thc rate
of two cents a mile over any of the thirty odd
roads which have joined in the agreement,
and actual settlers ut the rate of one cent a
mile. A gn-at number of leading hotels, in
Kentucky. Tennessee. Alabama, Mississippi,
North Cai ulina. South Carolina, Virginia and
Georgia will deduct one third from their usual
charges in favor of thc same persons. Most

H w a W/steru City Grows
One of the most noted examples of rapid
growth in recent times is furnished in thc
case of the infant city of Cheyiinc, Wyom

consisted ?d' a ?ingle house. Now it boasts a
population of T.OOv. It has sis boot and
?hue stores, Gre, drug stores, eight dry goods
store*, three hard wiro and cutlery alores,
th i ir? restaurants and game stores, four sta
tionery and Yankee notion {inns, six whole,
sale liquor de dors and four t?biCco and cigar
stures, besides twelve other firms engaged in
various branches of business. There are four
hotels, eight lawyers, and seven physicians in
thc pl ice. Four p pr-?, three daily and one
weekly, aro published in Cheyenne. The
Union l'.icilii.railroad pisses through it, und
four lines of telegraph radiate from it. ll
contains one very fine church (Catholic) ant.
