Wool.-Agcnts from the factories have vis-
tied many Of the woolgrowing towns in this
and the adjoining States, and large quantities
Of wool have been purchased. though many
decline selling at the prices offered. In Worth
ingtOn and other towns west of this, several
lots have been sold at about so cents, some
over and some under. So tar as we can
Judge, sales are made at abODt 8 or 10 cents
per pound below the prizes of last year. A

IS cents. We have accounts from COLUMBIA

ter Mr.. Booth had commenced reading the
Declaration Of Independence, a Jackson man
came into the Hall, and listened for some time
with considerable attention. In little while
it was observed that his dander began 10 rise !;
he exhibited evident symptoms Of strong dis.
appreciation; and finally before the reading
was finished. his passion getting the better of
him. he turned upon his heel and swore he
wouldn't stay any longer to hear the old Gen

pack Of ahnnainahle wing lies that man was
reading, got up for the occasion; and depart
