Ny DEAR SIN


It was not until this evening that I got sight Of
your new paper, tue Confederation. 1t was the num-
her of Saturday, and it gave the first inmntion
that the friends OF the Administration are not all
swept away from the seat Of government by the Wu-
ker iuror. rejoice with all my heart to see them
waking up to sense Of their duty, and it cheers my
spirits and revives my hopes, to sec You, my guOd
friend, nanfully taking tho lead and brcasting the
Sturn as becomes tried and uithtul soldier Ill the
cause Of our sectiun aud our country. At period
when the President putting forth NIL the energies Of
the government to sustain Southern interests against
Northern aggression, aud when tho fate Of the Union
would seem to be suspended in doubtful roso-at such
period are Southern men mad enough to join i'll n
hue aud cry against their hoIOrcd and fuithtul
servants and their vital inercSts, to sustain an
a,lventurcr in rampling our laws! llns it indeed
come to this, that William Walker is to supplant
james buchanan i'll the hearts Of the Alabama Demo-
cracy? Has it come to this, that opposition to Fill
busters and unlawful onslaught against States with
whom we are a peace is hostility to Southern rights
and Southern interests? Has it como to this, that
not to be IL Fbustcr, s to he m Ahuunist! surely,
the spirit aud patriotism u the noble Democracy will
revolt mt such munstruus propositions; and yet they
arc daily pressed upon the public, aud reiterated at
nuuscum by paper published u this city and almost
without rehuke. | ain withdrawn from actual par
cipniuu in public uilarS, but regard tho signs Of
the times with the deepest interest. look upon 1t
u. siugularly Fortunate that you have resumed your
cvnnrxon with the press ut this particular period,
aud look with entire confidence tu your disposition
and ability to scatter the nsts and fogs that obscure
our political atmosphere, and keep public opinion ON
the right track. u
Victory is sure to perch your standard. Tho VAL
ker excitement will bo but temporary. 1t will ass
away, and the intelligence Of our people will soon
bring our popular leaders to their senses.

TO THE PUBLIC.

As an unpleasant difficulty has arisen between one
of my neishhors and myself and MS many rumors nrc
usloat in regard to said difficulty, have deemed it
necessary to give n true and plain statement q. the
facts as they occurred, aud let the community judge
who is in error.
On my moving where now live, Mrs. llcrluns
asked permission to turn her turkeys in my calf pns-
iure gave her leave provided they did not get in
the fields that tended. Year before lust they were
driven in my ontSiicld, up near my house. whipped
the negro that minded the turkeys twice ont Of my
field, but she was seen afterwards to drire them in

again in my oats.Ield. hnd oats on the rond.

out; they were kept out only short time About this
time the lIcrongs got mad with mc, aud as far us my

One Sunday Us was passing, saw some OF their
perrocs hunting suincn nests in my oas-feld. told
them to keep the guincas and themselves out OF my
plant l wus afterwards told by H. NJ Herlons
that the negroes told Mrs. HcrlOng what saii The
puneas were not taken away. Soon after the turkeys
were again drove in. saw them more than once
drove in my oats. There was one that was cnuGht
and put over the fence. suppose it could not fly
over. This was done just across the road from Mr..
u.rlopr's. Whenever went towards where they
werc they were hurried of to the yard.
At last could stand it no longer. went down to
the road and called Mike Herlong from the storo.
told him what had seen, and asked him to tell his
mother, for me- to keep her turkeys out of my field.

Lut had sent her word as often as intended, and

Afterwards told Mr.. IIerong, mt Emory Chapel that

in three days before shot them, for had reason to
believe they were not out Of sight long at time. The
third day shot, think, three or four turkeys and
FIVE guneas. They knew where to got them after they
were shot without my word from me; and have
been told by ono of tho famly, that they were look
ing ut me when was shooting them. had been
troubled with Mrs. Herlongs turkeys rs long as I
thought was right and in fact longer than would

Mr.. Herlong's mules troubled ME much last yenr-
twice four mules were in my outs, and once one and

my fold n night, and tho dny bOfore shot tho
turkeys, there were four pushed my fence down.

For the Advertiser.

Mr.. Enron: We have hard times out this way in
money matters. Almost every one wants money, and
no one has any to accommodate his neighbors with.
We have hardly enough to pay the printer. We hope
you will get sufficient of the spurious stuff to enable
you to suspend the publication Of your paper as
some editors have DONE But ms this is q time Of
suspension, do you not think that creditors ought to
suspend collecting also? Whnt in the world are We
to do if the Banks nre allowed to suspend and even
encouraged in suspension by Legislature, and the
whole world of creditors turned loose upon us. We
scarcely sell cotton Mt uny price in NeMberry,
and this may soon be the case in Hamburg, and how
the poor farmers to get enough Of the spurious
currency to pay their debts The President says that
the Banks not pay more than the seventh part Of
heir liabilities and we car that in the end there will
bo many failures.
AS our Legislature was so very kind to the poor
Banks who have caused our present distress in Pc
eunary Matters to forgive them the five per cent
due the Ste should not something be done to remit
the disresscs and liabilities Of the poor farmer, who
has borne the heat and burden of the day and is now
in debt and has no possible means of paying. AS
suspension appears to be the remedy in almost every
case with the Banks that not able to pny their
liabilities would suggest the propriety of passing
law Of suspension in favor of the indebted among
US
Mr.. EDITOR, will you sny something in favor Of
the poor debtor who is trembling under the panic
CAUSED by SUSPENSION and who feels that without help
his ruin is inevitable. We trust the people will at
least bear with each other and suspend their cOllec
tions mach possible. If they do not our State
has never been in much condition than it will
soon DC in, without caunge in money matters. II
is in vain to cry peace, peace. The storm is gather
ing. Let US prepare to meet it. q.
