SUPEaLArivE MEASSEss.--That the Lincoln gov
eminent and itsagents, toolsand minions had sunk
, to depth Of iniamy and meanness that no gov
eminent ever reached before has been well known
to our people from what they read but TIE full
tent of that meanness is not now and never will be
known.
Lincoln scouts, from Paducah, have lately been
securing the country about there, and Cumberland
river, and not only annoying aud insulting the peo-
Pile but stealing everything of value they can find.
A friend who lives in the region infested by these
commissioned thieves, informs us that when they
go to house they take away with them everything
that meets their fancy, or that is at all valuable.
Woman's person, he says. is not reamong them
for in several instances jewelry and other articles
of value, have been taken Off their persons and
carried away by them. This our friend says he
knows is so And yet these are the kind of PEG
pie who are seeking to compel nation of gentlemen
to affiliate with theml

Beware THE producers aud manufacturers o.
our State, and of the South generally ought to be
on their guard all the time against the designs Of
the speciiiators They ought not to sell TO any one
whose acts or plans look to n monopoly, in any Of
our necessary products Flour just now, is an item
in point few heartless men, by going to all Of
our millers al contracting for all the flour they
can grind for the next four or six months, might
iuouopoIize that staple to such nm exen, as to adj
vance the price to $l2, SIS, or even $50 barrel.
All will see how this might be done, and there are,
we are sorry to say, here among us, men who would
not hesitate to do IT, II they could-men who are
after the almighty dollar regardless Of women,
childreh, country, aud all else that conflicts with
their greedy desire for gold.
All Of our growers and manufacturers of staple
products will find ready sale, in legitimate way,
for all they can make and therefore it is that they
can safely decline, as they ought to do, all over
lures of the monopoists. We would not be under
stood, by any means, as wishing to put an end TO
all speculation in business fla man wishes to buy
so, or 100, or 900 barrels of hour believing the
price will advance, let him do so but the monop-
oily of a mills entire grinding, for three OF four
months, would be another thing, and ought to be
prevented We hope our people will be on their
guard in this matter, and prevent any movement
like that we have indicated.
