Coon FOR THE GovERNoR.-We learn that Governor
Vance said recently that he had determined that
another Still should be in the State during his
term. He thinks all other honest people do, that
bread is better than whisky.-RQLeigh Progress.
"Good for the Governor" repeat, and say all
who really want the South conquer in this We
do hope Gov Vance will allow bushel of corn to
be distilled in this State until the is over If
Government Agents are allowed to Gstilleries
under the plea of making alcohol it will not be long
before nearly all the whskey makers will be at work
under the Prctence of making nedcine' and will
be about five dollars per bushel, and the people will
suffer for bread.
Many of the Government Agents do not appear to
have uncommon amount Of common (some of
them II they had at alD judging from
the eXravasant in which they make contracts
for Government supplies and bid against each other.
One Agent alone in this State, learn has had dis

THE TORIES IN TExAs.-The Houston News
publishes the following fom the Northern part Of
the State:
GAINESVILLE, Texas, Oct. 13.-Editors Neus:
i reached this place yesterday amid the widest
state of excitement. A secret organization Of the
Lncolnites was detected within the last few days
the OBJ ject of which was to murder all the Scces-
sonists, take the movable plumber with them to
Missouri, and burn up the balance that might be
left. The militia of this and adjoining counties
have collected to the number Of four or five hun
dred. They have caught twenty nine of the out
laws and hung two Of them yesterday. DIR.
Childs and brother will examine the balance to.
day. and if found guilty they will meet the same
fate. 1t is said they had secret signs and pass
words. Those arrested are mostly from Cooke
and Grayson counties, though they are said to ex-
list all along the frontier counties.

Corn CROP OF GEoRGIA.-The Milledgeville
"Confederate" says:
The Comptroller General in his annual report
this year, usual, gives many valuable statistical
facts In his Instructions to the Tax Collectors in
the State he required them to report the number
of acres planted in cotton, and also the number
planted in and other grain. Five counties
did not report at all. In the remaining HUI
dred and twenty seven counties, i: is reported that
only two hundred and thirty-six thousand one
hundred and ninety-eight acres planted in cot
ton, while four million nine thousand and eighty
acres were planted in corn, and one million three
hundred and forty-nine thoaSanA three hundred
and seventeen acres planted in other grain
At fourteen bushels TO the acre. the Comptroller
General estimates the corn crop of this year in
Georgia at ffty-ninc million five hundred thousand
bushels, nearly double what it was in 1919,
which was one of our most fruitful years.
This is splendid production. 1t would furn-
ish six bushels of corn per head to every man.

HEAVY PURCHASE OF CONFEDERATE Bonds
A short time since mentioned the fact that
a firm in Georgia had purchased at the Treasury.
Department, in this city, Confederate Bonds to
the amount of 81 100000. An agent Of the Gov
ernment, who is authQrized to dispose Of these
bonds, writes us that a firm in Charleston, 5. g.,
called upon him and purchased bonds to the
amount of 81 800, 600 This done at period
when our prospects were much less hopeful than
at present, and when they could have purchased
the same class of bonds from spectators, with the
addition of two or three months interest. They,
however, preferred to purchase the bonds from
the Government at par, with interest only from
the day of purchase.-Rich. Dispatch
RAILROAD ACCIDENT.-The Wilmington Jour
nal states that terrible Railroad accident took
place on Saturday morning, at Florence, on the
Wilmington and Manchester Railroad. The boiler
of dirt train exploded while at the water tank,
killing three persons-a Mr. Kirby, Of TimmOns
vile, s. c., man named Murphy Kelley, and
negro fireman. The engineer, David Carpenter,
was blown about one hundred yards and deposit
&c in cotton field.
The noise of the explosion was heard ten miles.
The cause of the accident is not stated.
A man advertises in the Winchester (Tenn)
Bulletin that he will kill beast Butler of New
Orleans for 900. He wants $4,000 placed
in some ones hands as forfeit-the whole amount
to be paid as soon as he accomplishes the decd. 1t
is strange that such men Butler Stanley and
Andy johnson have been permitted to live SO
long in Southern cities.
On the night of the 9TH instant, at the camp
within few miles of Staunton, Lieut.. Crawford,
of Chester District, S. c. thrown from his
horse and dragged, (hs foot hanging in the stir

the next day. He belonged to Col Blacks South

CONFEDERATE BoNDs.-The Fayetteville Observer
says that considerable sales of Confederate Bonds have
been made that place recently. We are truly glad
to learn that people beginning to invest their
money in this way If the Secretary of the Treasury
would keep supply for sale at the various Banks in
the State thousands of dollars would be invested In
Bonds that used in buying real estate at ex-
orbitant prices.
Holders Confederate Treasury notes will find to
their advantage to note the following notice of the
Confederate Secretary of the Treasury:
Treasury Notice as to Sundry Treasury Notcs.-1n
conformity with the of Congress approved October
18th, 1862, notice is hereby given that all Treasury
notes which shall be issued from the Treasury after
the first day of December next will be fundabe only
in seven per Bonds Stock, instead of eight per
cent and all persons holding Treasury notes which
shall have been issued previous the said first day OF
December, and who NAV desire to fund the same IN
eight per Bonds Stock are hereby notified that
they must come in before the 22d day of April
next and present the said notes at the Treasury at
Richmond. or at of the Assistant Treasures
or Depositories of the Government for the purpose of
funding them in eight per cent Bonds Stock; after
which date they will be fundable only in seven per
cents. g. IT, MkMMIAGkR,
Secretary OF the Treasury.
We learn that the demand for these Bonds has great
ly increased within the past week. We have no doubt
the dav is not far distant when they will command
high premium.
