The Supreme Judgship.

GAINESVILLE, Tenn, Nov. 10, 1855.
EDITOR Vino: Dear Sir:-I seefrom the Why
that you are refusing to publish the proceedings of
the people, expressing their choice for ARCHIBALD
WRIGHT, Esq, for Supreme Judge, upon the
grounds that Mr.. Wright has written letter to
some body, declining to become a candidate, for
the reason that he is pledged to Judge Harris.
Now, sir, wish to say oyou and Nr. Wright,
that he may write fifty letters of the same sort be-
tween this and the election, but the people of
Montgomery county, without distinction of party
expect to cast, and will cast their vote for him
the day of the election We say let Mr.. Wright
be elected-let ii be the Offering Of the people to
true merit. We are Informed that Mr. Wrights
circumstances in life very good and that he is
well able to make the sacrifice. We are also in
formed that nearly all of his worldly goods have
been made by the practice of law in the State of
Tennessee, and that his honOrs have been won
here" Now, we think that where the State has
done so much for the man, the man ought to do
something for the State. At least let us give him
the chance, and should he resign the Office, we
have done our duty, and only regret the event,
and will then hll the office by the election of some
other person. lie certainly is the decided choice
of the people, and let him by all means be elected.
We will state that we do not agree with Mr..
Wright in politics, but we admire his heart, his
mind legal learning, and gentlemanly bearing, and
he is our first choice for Supreme Judge; and he
is, not only of the people of Montgomery county,
but of the State.
In conclusion, we wish you to let us know upon
what day the election takes place The Whole State
seems to be profoundly ignorant upon this point.
Will you be kind enough to publish this. and re.
quest all the papers in the State TO publish it and
send their bills to tie people of The OhOle State for
payment. MONTGOMERY COUNTY.

The Alton TIl.) Courier has the following:
Pork packing win commence in about ten days.
We hear of contracts for something 900 head
of hogs at $5a5.50 per 100 lbs-$6 per hundred
have been paid in some cases.
The Chicngo Tribune, of the 18th, says:
There is every prospect of high prices for the
season in hogs The crop of corn in many portions
of the corn growing region is not so large as il
expected to be; the stock hogs in many parts died
for want of food last year, and the country was
cleared of every thing in the shape of hogs by last
springs heavy prices. Besides, the packing season
has found the country with no stock of barreled
pork on hand, and the foreign demand is excellent.
Farmers will, therefore, be well paid for stock
growing this year. Large numbers OF hogs have
been received here this week, both for shipment
alive and for packing. We quote them S5a5 80
gross, or S6.75a7.l5 per 100 lbs.

England and the United States.
The National IntelIigencer, of the 18th
inst, learns from authentic sources that eood
temper and good judgment are yet IN the as
cendant with the high functionaries Of the
governments of both the United States and
Great Britain, and that the idle specuiatons
which for a moment prevailed, have lost their
power for mischief. That paper states that
the official information received by our Gov

From the 81. Louis Republican, 10Th.
The Plains.

The idea generally entertained that the immense
arid plains lying betw cen the Mississippi and Rocky
Mountains, must remain forever unsettled and I'M
cultivated on account Of the scarcity OF water and
fuel is likely to undergo change. Sciencihc men
are now exploring these plains prairies, and from
the little we hear of their researches, the prospect
appears good that abundance OF coal and water
can be obtained at a small outlay Of money and Ia
Dor. Successful experiments have been made in
testing the practicabiity of boring artesan wells
and the result is most satisfactory. In instance
near the Pecos River about toe 32d parallel, at the
depth OF 900 feet the greatest abundance OF perfectly
pure water was obtained. Besides this, the opera
ton developed the existence of coal beds, easily
accessible and as far as the experiments have pro
crossed, evidently underlying the whole of that i'm
mense country.
The Importance Of this discovery will at once be
epparent II rivers cannot be created by these
wells water efficient may be obta ID for all the
purposes of irrigation, and thus the plains NAV be
come AS thickly inhabited, and the land rendered
as productive any other portion OF our country.
With plenty Of coal Tor fuel, the want Of timber
will hardly keep back the pioneer; for the materials
for building are too numerous to admit OF such a
sunposition The thorn will doubtless grow as we'll
there as here, and live hedges, even in sections
where forests are abundant are now adopted by the
farmer.
The expedition for making these observations anu
experiments on the great Western prairies was sent
out by the Government only short time since, aud
il certainly may be considered, with the success
which has attended the experiment, as one OF the
most important that has been commissioned. Mil
lions OF acres OF the best lands will thus be opened
up TO agricultural enterprise and the country lying
between the Mississippi and the Rocky Mountains
instead of remaining desert waste, doomed 10 sol
itude and barreuness will become settled with AT
energetic population and pour its rich products in to
the lap Of commerce..
We shall soon have the report Of the expedition
from the department. at Washington, no doubt Ia
the meantime the information obtained on the sub
ject, from private source, justhes the most san
gune anticipatous.

"That the Secretary of War has ordered board
OF Army officers to assemble at Charleston, South
Carolina, to examine the recent citizen appoint
muuts TO the Army. Several designations have
been already received from those who were ordered
TO appear before the board for examination. We
doubt not, from our own knowledge of many OF the
appointments, that many of them will be cashiered.
The administration conferred the appointments up
on many who were not only totally unfit physically
for military service, but incompetent mentally to
comprehend military tactics and regulations The
Secretary of War; no doubt, long since discovered
their uuftness, and has now ordered this board for
