The value of rough lumber at the mills is estma-
ted to average about $40 per NJ, which amounts
in the aggregate to S2,5OO,OOO. There is no one
business in the county, except mining, which af-
fords more employment than this. The wood
chopper, the sawyer and teamster, each find steady
and permanent employment at these numerous
mills
The common Pine is still in great abundance,
but the sugar Pine is getting scarce. Some of the
above mills will be removed from their present
sites after this year, and rebuilt higher up in the
mountains, where trees can be got to the mill
more easily and with less expense. The best tim
Der in the county, that is easily accessible, has
been already consumed, and it is reasonable to
anticipate that the lumber trade will slightly de-
crease after this year. '

careful in assessing county, to call upon every
individual, and treating all alike, as the statute
declares 1t is an easy matter for any Assessor to
find and assess visible property. But as appears
above, there is nearly One-fourth of the taxable
property of this county, invisible. To get this
list on the Assessor books, one must be acqnant-
ed with the citizens generally. In the discharge
of nv duties, Ihave endeav ored to find every man
worth from 500 to SIC, 900. From my knowledge
of the people. and a better knowledge of the To-
cality of property, learned by the actual perfor-

ally increase the State and county revenue next

THE WITHDRAWAL OF BUCHANAN.--A few days
ago. the Washington Organ stated that the withdrawal
Of Buchanan from the Presidential contest was UNI
der serious consideration in Democatic caucus at
Washington City This statement was corroborated
by the Washington correspondent Of the New York
Courier and Enquirer. We find in the Natchez Cou-
rier the following postscript to private letter writ
ten in New York by a Mississippi lawyer of high
standing
Fillmore stock Is unqpesonaby rising, and the 4oihdrntrdl
Mr. buchanan seriously mooed here among the few leaders
aft of the Democracy. NO.. e. d.,
The nomination of Buchanan was mistake it
has failed entirely to effect what it intended to
effect. He was nominated with the hope of turing
back into the Democratic fold sufficient Northern
strength to keep the harpies of the Democratic party
in power and place and the frtiti0n of public plumber
1t has already been ascertained beyond any doubt
that Buchanan cannot be elected that he will be the
third man in the race and that keeping him the
track will only increase the chances for the election
of Fremont Mary leading men, who were originally
for Buchanan, have become convinced that Keeping
him in the field will only serve to obstruct the pro-
gress of Mr. Fillmore in the South, and are anxious
for his removal They that the contest is between
Fillmore and Fremont, and that the corpse Of the
squatter sovereign is only obstruction to the Union
party. Remove the body. It encumbers the way of
the party that is fighting against sectionalism and
for the Union and the Constitution. Away with it
and bury it ut the bottom Of the garden or at the
crossroads. louisville Journal.

with Andrew Jaekson's name, charging me with
breach Of trust in publishing Gen Jackson's CORE

first mentioned because those who assaied me knew
that the immediate subject OF complaint (the extract
from Gen. Jackson's letter ncupating Mr.. Buchanan

neither written to me nor published by me- This not
being noticed by me was followed by another, signed
Andrew Jackson, denouncing me by name as the
volator of ecu. Jackson's confidence and the rights
which his adopted son asserted over his papers.
How my good friend Andrew, whose last letter to
me was an efuson Of gratitude, was brought to this
point can only conjecture. never gave him an
