FALsEHooDs ABOUT THE SOUTHERN MAILs.-The
following is sample of some of the false letters
puoilshed in the Republican newspapers:
q" Walnut Groce, Ala, March II, 1S6l-Sirs:
nave reasons to believe that the United States Mail
will soon be stopped from Alabama-perbaps is al
ready stopped. | am owing YOU and am ready to
pay you, out am not ,clRg to mail money at mn risk
II you say mail it, at your risk, will do So have
reasons to believe that the mail Is searched bv Post
masters Jor letters and documents concerning seces
8s0n am truly sorry the times are as bad as thew
are-but had no hand in bringing about disunion,
Tor L am opposed to secession. | would write to
you to send me Nashville paper-one that is op.
posed TO dlsunlon-but do not believe it would
get here to me. Every effort IS made here to keen the
people IN ignorance, but if you will send me such a
paper, VIII pay Tor it, whether get it or not
81 am yours truly, --"
many such letters are manufactured by Republi-
can newspapers to operate upon business men
Some OF them are really written, but by Abolition
emlssaries resident in the slave States The state
ments contained in them are false We know them
10 De larse; Tor every day we get letters containing
money from all parts OF the South. The transmits
sion of money through Southern post offices is as
sale now as ever it 1t is needless to saw that
the above letter shows its abolition origin on its
face-fhlt Pennsylcanian.
HORACE GREELEY-WHY HE Is NOT SAFE COUNSEL
LoR IN Times LIKE THE PREsENT.-Mr McElratb. So
long the partner of Greeley in the New York Tri-
Dune, but now at the head of another journal-The
CentWy-thus sums up the latter's characteristics
as party leader and adviser, and his aualifca-
tions for craftsmanship:
The truth is, Mr.. Greeleys fixed steady contain
patlon OF single point only instead of embracinp
the whole range of any subject, disqualiies him al
together for the duties of a great statesman and
renders him unsafe counsellor With him Re-
puollcanism is only one thing at a time-now il
may be temperance, now tariff, now anti-slayerv-
each In Its turn paramount; but any grand system
or mi Al
ances and compensatons he has not vet prasned
Hence II Is that he has never been influential either
at Washington or at Albany, except when he has
been acting with his party in the minority. His
natural nominations seem always to run in opposi-
ton to the ruling powers, and his own force is
usually exhausted at the very moment when those
with whom he is acting witness the triumph of their
principles.
CoTToN SPINNERs' CONVENTION. body met at
Atlanta, Georgia. on the 10th inst Four States and
eight manufacturing establishments were represent
ed, and the body was composed of number of men
who are prominently known all over the South as
experienced manufacturers and economists and
some as statesmen.
The Convention elected Hon. VIM. Gregq. of
Granteville, ). C., as Presidents Daniel Pratt. of
alabama, and Isaac Scott, of Georgia, were chosen
Secretary. ~
Three committees were appointed-one to form
Constitution for the Association, one to send
cargo OF Southern manufactured goods to Ger
many, and one to go to Montgomery to solicit
from Congress permission to import cotton ma
chinery into the Confederate States for two wears
free OF duty.
The Association then adjourned to meet again on
the second day of May next.
The PEACH CRoP.-It is now thought that the
peach crop will prove almost an entire failure in
our State. The trees looked well through the
winter, and hopes were entertained of q very
heavy yield. The growers in the neighborhood Of
Odessa had already begun to estimate the number
of baskets; wagons hands, &C.. that would be ne
cessary in their picking, and bright heap of gold
doomed up in their minds as the result The cold
weather of the past week. however, has done much
to dispel the anticipation, as buds appear black and
ileless and ready to fall off. The young trees on
heavy soil may not be very seriously injured, but
tnose which were more advanced cannot possibly
ylela an eighth of crop. We regret this as many
o. our farmers have set out trees, and fair yield
Republican.
