One of the rilest colds that ever man had nj
the junction of August and September, has pre-
vented US Fl ON giving usual attention t. edi-
torial matters this wctk ;-bence our excuse for
The breviry of this communication.
We are all well ,-cxcert Guide.
We have delightful wealh,r. Summer seems TO
he ended. Tho harvest promises to be plenteous.
And the renrtrs arc ready.
There is no news iu the district Of special inter
est. Edgchcld will bavesix cumranie. ut least in
the regiment forming ut Camp ButIer. II is sail
TINT Gen. JAMES JoSSs will be elected Colonel

To indicate to you The stnte Of affairs ut home,
lei us DIT few matters Of fact:
/. segar smoking never was ut such dite"unt
amongst ny. Pipes are preferred.
9. The shuoling Of cock k-rohius and spnrrr"shy
rowing hrys, Is postponed to more convenient
season.
3. The credit syssen. is nearly abrosate'
L. Marriages are u scarce Us rarec-shpws
). Lonting about our tuwna is much reduced
confined to guid names and droncg,-a il rlWays
| should be.
q. ticntlemen from the country don't tarry long
at the Court House TN sule.days: Business DONE
they are of TO SEQ about affairs at their home
s,outls setting their houses in order for the worst
Dy the wny, there is still hut determined ener-
sy about CUR plantation interests, which will do
much for our beloved cuuutry,-in connection
with your abors the battlefield.
7. In tho commodities Of pigs and chickens, tho
old legal distinction of meun and tnu@ is very ac-
rurately watched the object being to keep the
pot boiling through the wars,-wc have no teurs
rs to the ovens baking.
$. Those same wars have almost rubbed the
country cf certain artirle that once graced our
psr re-: Last week we spent an evening with u
nrighbur There were five charming young lndits
to greet Us but not single L.nn,-and married
ones iout answer the purpose Mt NIL, at nl.
And SO We go.
Indeed this is dull country Mt present. From
ole mail to another we chew over and over ugain
the cud OF the latest intelligence. only di*eardinG
il uI,un the arrival Of a fresh iE.talment. We are
looking for something important every day now :
and when il comes, may blow have been stricken
by our invincibc army before which Black Re-
publcanism shall topplc from its hideouS cmi-
ncncc and "fall, like Lucifer, never to rise again.
Not many pcrsons were out day before yester-
iay,-soic dny Those who were here, brought
in the same favorable reports of health and good
crops we have again and again repeated. This
time however it is slightly modified Us to cotton
which has suffered injury from the wet weather.
We learn that the new Company in the Dorm
ncighbAhood is malo up, numbering about 9V
men, witt, Inc following officers, viz: III. BIRD
Captain W. M. RODGERS, lst Lieut.; WV. TAG
CART, I'd Lieut.; A. G. WrIrE, Sd Lieut., and A
b. DEAN Orderly. The Company, it is feared, i:
too late to 60 into camps, MS the rcquisiton has
been already more than filled. 1t will stand n:
No. ! for the next call, or msy possibly find :
place somewhere Immediately.
It should be mentioned that Capt. WEST's
Company, now in Camp, is entitled Tho DcarinS
Guards, after Col. ALFRED DEARlSG whom yol
oil know. The Colonel made the hundsome de-
nation of one thousand dollars towards the ouf
the Company. The rightof the battalion is claimed
by them ms well MS by the Eaycield Rifes.
Sorry to tell you that Capt. READY is very sick
Saw Dr.. WN. JENNINGS in town Monday look
ing every inch vctcrnn,-just such person II
we imagine OLD Gr"uehy TO have been.

ny nnd going the whole hog-and if ho begging
he will 30 through with it. Tho old gentleman
has generosity and spirit as well US means.
No more till next time.
