READER-had you been ia the town of
Paulding some or 10 years ago, as we were'
one cold bleak winters morn, some ten or
twelve of us were assembled around a log fire,
for cabins were scarce, the conversation turned
on the all.absorbing subject of procuring the
entry of lands for their future homes. The
land jobbers and Spectators were over running
the country, sweeping the improvement of the
citizens where ever they could. When cold,
frozen looking gentleman rode up and alighted;
his mien was anxious, and his voice appeared
tremulous as he saluted the crowd. Some one
asked him the news-he answered, as follows.
Men, moved into this purchase last fall, since
which time have packed my corn from 40 to
60 miles at three dollars per bushel, to support
a wife and large family of children. have
worked hard and cleared bit of land, on
which l hoped to make bread another year,
but, last night, found the spectators taking
the numbers of my land-what in Gods name
shall do? All was silence for some minutes
at length gentleman present asked how much
land he wished to save; he answered he desi-
red to save wo Sths but would be glad to save
one 40, including his improvements. The
gentleman asked him if no had his numbers he
answered. he had; then putting his hand into
his pOeketShe drew forth 5000. Here, sir, go
and enter your land-the overjoyed man stood
confounded-at length remarked, when shall |
be able to pay you? The other answered.
go without delay and enter your land-the de
lighted man sprang on his horse, cut out for the
Office and saved his land Who was this kind
hearted man9 We answer Col. Joshua Terral.

CbickasaWha Improvement.

In our first number, we marked the Chick.
asawha Company, as Fraud, No. 2. We also
stated. that as member of the State Leglsla-
ture, we gave that company our support, and
afterwards became member of that compa-
nv. We were, possibly, too precipitate, in APP
plying the epihet fraud, and therefore qualify
that charge, by saying, we shall lay before the
public the whole transaction. If there has
been no fraud, we will disabuse the public
mind. If there has been, we will charge 1t on
the guilty. We feel deep solcitude in the
prosperity of our native State---but more espe-
cially the East A large sum OF money has
been drawn from the State Treasury to improve
the navigation of the Chickasawha river, and
that too at a time when the State was compelled
to resort to increased taxation to deiray the ne
ccssary expenses of the Government
The question then arises, has the money been
laid out in good faith on the Chickasawha H.
yer? has it received, solid and lasting advan-
tages thereiromY AS svo.. me procure some
documents from Jackson, this whole matter
shall be exposed, and the public left to judge
for themselves.

SENATORIAL ELECTION 1t will be seen
that we have placed the name of ALEXANDER
G.. MNUTT, at the head Of our columns for
Senatorial honors In doing so, we know that
we but echo the wishes and feelings ola nigh
ty host of Democrats who have stood by him
in his desperate struggles against the deeepey
folks, and the factions in our own party. That
Gov. MUTT is a statesman Of most gigantic
order all men admit and who doubts that our
interests in bis hands will be saie2 None.
But there are some friends that fear he is too
vulnerable on the question ofthe Union Bank
Bonds with some seeptieism on The Texas and
Oregon questions. So far as these bonds are
concerned, it appears to US, his position is in
vinciblo-and on those great questions OF a ma
ional character we have no fears-he will be
found battling in the front rank against every
man and measure adverse to our national IN
terest and character.
But whilst we have this confidence in him,
we have no objection 10 other eminent friends
coming before the people; and if another is
found to be more acceptable to the majority
we shall cordially support the choice Of the
PEOPLE. Their will, and not ours Ie
done.

Horace PAGAUD.--Some three years
ago, Horace Pagand, clerk Of A. B. Sam
ders. auditor of the state, was arrested on
the charge of forgery, and on examination
before justices of the peace, was dlschar-
ged. Subsequently, three indictments
were preferred against him by the grand
jury of Kinds county, charging him with
forging auditors warrants on the state
treasury. Pagaud fled aud concealed
himself for while in Cuba, and after
wards in Texas Here he was arrested,
brought back to the United States, aud
placed in the county Jail of Kinds. HIS
counsel attempted to get him discharged
on a writ of habeas corpus before Judge
Sharkey. Failing in this, they procured
the removal of his trial TO the county OF
Warren. The case came up for hearing
last week, and resulted III the conviction
of Pagaud on three indictments OF forgery
in the first degree. A motion made by his
counsel tor new trial was overruled by
the court; but bill of exceptions We
learn has been filed, upon which an APP
peal will be taken TO the Supreme Court.
The prosecution was conducted by At
torney-6eneral Freeman, and District At
torney Walker; the defence by Gen.
Foote, l.. Lea, aud F. E. Plummer.
