and taken the grounds ostensibly that the
justice Of the war was no question for this
time-we were an it, and the only way to
get out was to fight it through TO a victo-

STATE TREAsURER.-Maj. Griffith receiv-
ed the nomination of the democratic COM
mttee last week, without dissent. The
members present and those represented by
proxy or letter, were all for him. We have
placed his name on the ticket, and beg to
introduce him to our democratic friends
with the assurance given to us-"The bet
ter he is known the more he will be liked"
Maj. Griffith was the Adjutant of the
First Rifles, and conducted himself as a
soldier should. He is man of spotless in
tegrity and probity, and can give bond for
a million, if required. He is thorough
going democrat. There have been some
inuendoes that he is ''a Taylor man"-rea-
dy to join the Rough and Ready hurra,
and desert his principles and his party
We have the best authority for saying tina,
such is not the fact that he and will sup
port the nominee of the Democratic ma
tional convention for the Presidency.
AS the wings are 'staking on'' so just at
this time, about military men, We suppose
of course they will! start no opposition to
Griffith
The "sound Republican doctrine" of ro-
tation in office has been applied, and we
hope to the general satisfaction.

The Signal Letter.

The authenticity of this letter is now ad-
mitted generally. We must suppose that
the studied silence of many Southern whig
presses on the subject, is to give its author
opportunity to dscalm the plain inference
to be drawn from t--that he stands pledg
ed, if elected to the Presidency, not to We
10 law prohibiting slavery i'll all "the con-
tinent west of the Rio Grande." We sim
cerely hope he may do SO. If he does not,
we cannot for moment doubt that he will
be repudiated by the South. AS he was
addressed on the subject from New Or
leans, Immediately on the publication of
the letter, we may expect such disclaimer,
if to be made, very soon.

CoTToN.-The cut-worm has ceased its
operations IN ms section, and the damage
is inconsiderable. The last Concordia In
telIigencer says that planter in that vicin-
ity set out lamps in his field at night, seve-
raj hundred yards apart, to ascertain if the
real cotton-fy was abroad. He caught Sc
veral hundred millers, among them about
a dozen Of the real noctua gosSypii--cotton
fly of last year, compared with specimens
which had been saved. The announce
ment created considerable alarm in the
neighborhood.
We hear contradictory accounts, and
can form no opinion as to the general pros
pect of the crop in this and the adjoining
counties. The weather continues very ia
able, and there is every prospect of a
long dry spell.
The corn crop will be the best made for
several years past.

o. We have encouraging accounts of
the canvass in the I'd district between Ro-

GIVE must insist that we did answ er
the sweeping charges made by the Grena-
da Press, against the Postmaster here. The
charges were, general fault of duty, mis-
sending of packets, keeping his office in a
grocery" &c. We answered, that our
self, and we believe we may add, our COM
munity generally, believe Mr.. Wolfe one
of the most Efficient and attentive postmas-
tiers In the State, and that he does not keep
a grocery, in the meaning intended. That
packages are sometimes mis-sent, we did
not, nor do we now deny. But we ven-
ture to say such mistak es are as rare as at
any other office where there are as many
mails. AS to his papers sent TO gentlemen
who had not subscribed, our P. M. tells us
that he returned them marked Sc refused''
at their request. When his correspondent
makes such general and serious charges, 1t
will be fairest, and most effective, to sig
his own proper name.

o. The editor of the Southron is not at
all pleased with our system of " Polemics."
We pinned down our charge against him
so concusively, and showed up his hypo-
critical inconsistency, in several instances,
so plain, that We did not suppose he would
be pleased with US as s'controversiaIist,"
or with our plain way of stating plain facts
and drawing plain differences. He express
ses desire to "quit," and we certainly
can have no objection on our part TIE
tricks of that print are so transparent, and
its inconsistencies so gIarng, as to be harm
less /; and it is really an irksome task-not
even requiring effort enough to render it
amusing-to expose them.
As to his intimation thatdn showing up
his course in relation to COL Davis, we un-
intentionally disturbed the ashes of he
70 and gentleman who sleeps his everlast-
ing sleep at Buena VISTA" it is incompre-
hensble TO us, and most certainly not call

We suspect it to be only a ruse 10 flown

Or The following are the names of the
gentlemen who left here last week to join

Chas. Jeff. LiddelI, A. V. Binion,

J. K. Lemaster, W. M BarfeId,
John Mitchell, John Woodburn,

The seven first named are from Carroll,
the remainder from Choctaw. Three of
the sons of our fellow citizen, Jas. Liddel,
will be in that company when these reach
their destination: the captain, first lie ut,
and the young gentlemen who heads this
detachment of volunteer recruits. He is
too old to go himself--will serve his coun-
try in another sphere, for which his ma
ture judgment and experience, exemplary
character, and correct political principles
eminenty qualify him-but believing that
we are engaged in most righteous war.

We do not mention this incident to aid his
election-we consider that event CERTAIN
but as some of his democratic friends have
complained that he is neW conner, not ge-
neraIly known, we mention it to show that
he and his, if new citizens, are of the right
sort, and to pay passing tribute to the pa
triotic sons of patriotic sire. While others
who seek TO serve the State in its peaceful
councils are denouncing the administra.
tion, and doing all they can at home to i'm
pair the efficiency of its measures for the
prosecution of the war, and to aid those
who openly oppose the war, he is ready TO
defend and stand by his country, and
he sends his boys from the enjoyments OF
the comforts and ease Of home, to endure
the hardships and rigors of the service,
and fight it's battles. Would he had many
more such new corners as ne and they.

o. Cur Alabama neighbors are having
great deal TO say about their bank Bonds
Just now. The Bank assets are worthless,
TO degree almost Unprecedented, and the
debt is enormous, and it's payment will be
burdensome to the people-nine-tenihs Of
whom have never received the slightest
benefit from it. If candidates, editors, &c.
in our sister State were not so eager to pro-
claim continually that everybody there is
for assuming the debt, we would believe
tina. such is the case but they are so
constantly asserting, and affirming, and re-
peasing, and reiterating, and saying over
again, that nobody is for repudiating the
bonds, that we have believed for some time
past that there is considerable repudiat-
ing party in that State, among the honest
class who toll for a living, and have no
connection with banks and bonds-kncw
them only by their swindling and exac-
tons. Where there is such treme ndous
splutter to fight smoke, there must be some
fire. We are confirmed in this belief from
the announcement that the wing candidate
for Senator from the Conecuh district has
come out for the reputation of the bonds
giving over the bank assets to the bond
holders, and playing quits. The time for
high-sounding "resolves" has passed, and
the next Legislature must levy high tax
force the people to make up the fund gi-
ven to the Bank favoritcs. We shall then
see what we shall see-and if we don't see
some kicking up at the burden, then it will
be seen that we see wrongly now.
