The AntI-War Men....Their Attempted
Change of Policy.

The AntI-War Men..--Thcir Attempted
Change OF Policy.
The anti war men Of this county-the
Eagle clique We mean--are attempting to
change their policy. SEEING that an hon
est and enlightened people will no lorger
sustain them in their open warfare against
the Government-stared in the face by
utter defeAt--by Bull Run route--they
are attempting to rally and recover lost
ground by change Of lnctos. They are
attempting 10 secure The triamph Of their
disanion candidate' and PLATFORM under
Ms false prstrnss Of Union and vigorous
pro'ecafiOn of the wor.
We appeal TO tho honest people Of old
Fairfield to bs no longer deceived by these
political stock Obbers. They openly op.
posed aud denounced the Government In
the hour Of its gre atest peril because they
were disloyal al heart, and because they
thought by thar opposition--by playing
upon the prJudices Of the peopc--by
crying "nigger," blood Of brother "higb
taxes" aud "low prices" they could ride
into power over the necks Of !ho people
because they thought that out Of the wreck
and ruin Of the country they could gain
some personal end or political advantage.
But failing ia this. and learning at this
late hour that they had counted without
their host that the people Of old Fair
6sld loved their country better Than their
purse or their party. they now change their
policy and seek 10 secure their support y
false professions OF devotion 10 che Union
and loyalty 10 the Government.
The people are not twice to be deqsiV'
ed 10 one eaWpaign by the same trix,er'
and dsmagoguss. No honest man will bt
made 10 believe that Roland & Co.. met
who have denounced tho Government as
"usurpation," /" condemned its acts as ''un
constitutional branded the war as "unho
ly. unjust. unnecessary, snd damusble;'
wsged by black Republicans Tor the pur

TOBACCO MARKEP.-Our Market has now fully
opended Those of our Stemmeries who are work.
ing this season, have been purchasing the loose
crops at various prices, say at SC. and &C.. &C. and
&c.. &c. and &c., &c. round, 5lc. round, and a few
choice crops at &c. round. There have been full
sales at all the Warehouses excepting Linwood)
during past two weeks, from which sale we quote
the following prices: Lugs 2ac to 3ac. Common
Leaf 4ac. to 5tc; Fair Leaf 5ac. to &c.. Fine leaf
tic to sic.; Fine old leaf SC. to 9c.-no choice Sc
lections Offering, but would command extreme pri-
ces. The offerings show the crop to be of very in
ferior quality, short and deficient in good color.
We note the arrival of four or five large foreign
buyers, which will no doubt give additional slim
ulant TO our prices. Our buyers seem determined
that Louisville or New Orleans shall neither show
any advantage in way of prices over our Market
this season. We note with satisfaction the general
good keeping order in which the crop so far has
been prized-we recommend to our planting friends
to tie their Tobacco in extra small hands which adds
much more to the value Of their crops than they
are aware Of Telegraphic dispatches from New Or
leans report sales of Tugs and low leaf at decline
of tc. to Ic, but which had no effect upon our very
firm Market.

30 man named Huffman was tried and con-
vcted of some felony, about two weeks ago, at
Huntingdon, Carroll county, Tenn, and the Hunt
ngdon Patriot says that after he had received his
sentence he volunteered confession of his guilt in
this and other cases. and indicated by name numer-
Gus individuals residing in Carroll, Benton and 9TH
err countios in West Tennessee, as belonging to a
band of horsethieves gamblers, robbers, and coun-
terfeiters, of which he was a member. He named
six men living in Carroll, four in Benton, and some
in nearly every neighboring county as belonging to
the gang. They made Memphis their head-quar-
ters and had country rendezvous on Reelfoot Lake
in Obion county He confessed to various crimes
committed by the gang, or its members, and, among
Others, mentioned the murder of young Miller, the
clerk, and the robbery Of the Branch of the Union
Bank, at Jackson, some two years ago, as their
work. This confession the Patriot says, was made
with view to obtaining new trial, but we do not
see how it could effect that He may have hoped
10 be taken States evidence against those he i'm
pcated, but in this he failed too, and was taken to
the Peuitentiary.
If this mans statements are true, his clan may
have had something TO do with the robbery of the
Branch Bank of Tennessee, in this place, about a
year ago, though it does not appear that Huffman
mentioned it.
