An ARRAY in which Senator flanagan
was recently an unavoidable actor, has it
seems been much exaggerated to the preju-
dice of the Senator. It seems that he was
assailed by a fellow by the name of Melon
aid for a supposed injury twelve months
ago. 1t turns out that flanagan had, on
occasion of some disturbance, saved this
fellow from rough usage from the hands of
which he pretends to believe was
urged by flanagan. And to avengs it the
skulking william assaulted him at his back
when not expected, in malice borne longer
than could have been harboured by a beast.
The seat of Government, of the State of
Alabama, has been removed from Tusca-
to Montgomery, where a new State

vo pages, at 81 per annum-6 copies for So

The .4merican Farmer has now been in ex-
istence since 1919, and was the first periodical
ever published in the U. States, devoted exclu-
svely to the interests Of the cultivators Of the
soi-many similar works have since sprung
into existence, and have passed away, whilst
the pioneer in the good cause has steadily pur-
sued It's way, and in its ripe old age, evinces
all the freshness and vigor ofyouth. The pub
Usher feels conscious, that his numerous pa
irons will bear him out in the assertion, that at
no stage Of its existence has his journal been
received with more favor than at the present
time. Gentlemen of the highest standing, and
eminent for their zeal and devotion TO their
time-honored calling, who have been subscri-
bers to the work since its first appearance to
the present time, (and we have a number of
them still on our list,) have but recently borne
testimony to the fact, that II is not excelled in
point of practical utility by any of the numer-
Gus journals with which our country now
abounds. Whilst these assurances are fatter-
ing TO our pride, they will serve as stimulus
to future exerions. All communications to
