The Jonesboro Union Flag of SAtur-
day last says:
It is undenisble, and we have no dis
position 70 conceal the fact as much as
we deplore it, that crime and lsWless
violence are alarmiugly on the increase
in this country. Every effort should
be made to apprehend those engaged
in this outrageous and disgraceful work
and bring them to justice, or we viii
very soon relapse into the baTbarism,
and utter contempt of moral obliga-
tioDs, which marked the period of our
subsection TO rebel misrule. No mans
life, whether Union or secession, is Sc
cure from the midnight marauding
bands, for they have not that sentiment
of honor which dictates a respect for
individuals. 1t bshooves every citizen
who desires the peace and security of
the community to put forth his utmost
endeaVors to suppress this state of az
fairs, and make the law by its swift and
vigorous punishments restraining ter
ror to evil doors.

DEAR SIR: In times like the present
it is the duty of every citizen to con
| tribute all he can to the restoration OF
peace and harmony among our people.
/ have Just returned from trip to Nc
Marry county, and can state, with en-.
tire confidence, that matters in that
county are in q sound and healthy con
dition. They have among the people
of that county, as in all other counties
some bad men. These are, for the most
part, men who had not the cour2g3 u
Join fairly and properly either army
nor the honesty and industry to re
main at home and make an honest iV
ing. But protesting to belong to one
or the other party as their interest
prompted, they took advantage of the
distracted state of society to prey upon
ana steal from both. These are the
few disturbers of the pesc6in the coun
fy, and these, honest citizens of both
parties are determined to drive out OF
destro 1t is remarkable fact tha
the true men Of the county, who hon
estly differed in opinion upon our lat(
struggle, and joined the different ar
mics, according to their convictions
have returned home and met as friends
During my short stay in the village
frequently met with Judge (late Col.
Hurst l found the people, without
distinction of party, acknowledging
their obligations to him for his hearty
and uniform assistance in the suppress
sion of crime and violence, and restor
ing peace and quiet to the country.
am satisfied that no man more than he
desires to see crime suppTessed-tht
wicked punished and the innocent
protected-that no man would hold the
scales of Justice with a more even hand
irrespective of parties. The good peo
pie of that county desire that theil
brethren in the other counties should
hold them in true estimation, and it ii
only sheer Justice that l make thi
statement on their behalf l observed
with great pleasure that the citizens
have gone to honest, perseVering labor
to try to restore their broken fortunes
and render themselves once more com
Portable, as in days Of yore.
Truly,
