EEIn the Eagle of last week false
charges and accusations are thrown out
against John Reber, Esq. during his
connection with the Agricultural Society
Among other things it is intimated that
he desired to be elected President Of the
Society, to subserve bis personal and pc.
cuDiary ends. This isutterly false. We
now understand (though we we're misiu.
formed as to the fact last week) that Mr..
Reber never consented to the use Of bis
name as a candidate before the Society,
and that he would not have accepted the
position bad he been elected. Mr.. Re-
Der has not voted or solicited any man 10
at any election for tie past three years
The inlimation that Mr. Reber desired
the place for the purpose Of covering up
certain proceedings heretofore had iu The
Society, is grossly unjust. No man in
this community stands better for honesty
aud purity Of character than John Reber
No man worked with truer. stronger.
more disin.srested hand for the success
and prosperity Of the Society, than he.
We would say TO those who have
charge Of the society that if they think
lhere is any fraud connected with Mr.. Re
ber's administration of it, that he would
be glad to have it investigated, Mr.. Re
Der will not be drawn into any newspa
per controversy upon the subject.

Our Compliments 10 Dan SiGord

On the first page OF our last numbSr
appeared communication over the sig
nature Of Reporter" commenting se-
versly on the proceedings of certain De-
mocrats at the lAle election of officers for
he Agricultural Society, and casting
dirt generally OF all who were prominent
in making it a political affair. Well
knowing Reporter" to be a correct and
responsible gentleman, We published his
communication without examining lis
contents. Had We examined the commu.
ioation-al the sam6, we should have
published it without protest, and without
the erasure of a single syllable. We do
not plead our ignorance of the article by
way of shielding ourselves from respon.
sibility. We now accept whatever res
sponsibility may attach to it. We have
no apology to make. We defy the blus-
ter of such as have threatened ia. and
stand ready to meet them in any ma 1ner
they may seek.
Among other things the communica
ton contained the following
"Among the prominent members
was one who occupies room above
Sifford's drug store, preaching trea
son 10 our Government, when rot
" professionally j. engaged in testing
Sitfor1s best "spirits' especially his best
rye whisky ma lie fron corn, aud sold al
one dollar per gallon"
1t is not our habit t, blackgu ,rl men
about their business. or make any alu.
sion to it whatever but if we had b-en
iDdi'ng the above, we should have told
the truth, and in place of corn whisky,
at one dollar per gallon, put it rot gut
whisky at Eve cents drink.
On Saturday last we were most insult
ingly taken to task about this publication
by Mr.. Sifforj. Ignorant of the mat
ter. aud unconscious OF any ofGense
we wsre much surprised at the at
tack, and being peaceable as we'll a.
reasonable, neither a street Suiy Of
cofimon blabkgusrd, avowed our limo
cence, aud asked some explanation. Our
candor was mot BY a repetition OF the in
suit, coupled with a threat Of personal
violence. III we should ever on any oc
casiou publish his (Dan Siff0rd's) nam,
in our paper" Motto be bulied mot II
be scared. we plainly told Dan Siffofc
that he could not do that thing. and that
he had not friends enough iu this conn
try to help him do it adding in the hea
Of passion some insulting epithets fo
which we apologize to the public, bat no

With that threat ovsr us, we, in sell de.
feuse. publish aud defy him.

Flax.

Every farmer should turn his atten.
iion, this spring, to the growing of few
acres of fax. The exorbitant prices Of
cotton goods, and the impOssiblity of a
very speedy decline in pricss, renders it
important that, VIC turn our attention to

found profitable investment of time for
the agriculturist. The prices OF cotton
goods have by no meaus reached their
highest ebb and even If the war were i'm
msdiately closed; II must be several years
ere, the South will again produce a full
crop lof cotton. These are facts that
