what IL Costs TO Rebel.

One Of the editors of the Selma
(Ala,) Messenger, writing from Tus-
caloosa, says; = e'aA p y ? ~
A little business in the Court House
led me TO inquire into the financial
condition Of this portion Of the coun-
try, and | learn that Sherifl's sales
are becoming so common that almost
no purchasers are found for the valu-
able lands and other property ex-
posed for sale. A gentleu.an Informed
me that some twenty farmers had
been sold out lately, their lands bring
ing less than one dollar per acre. A
sad instance of the reverse of fortune
produced by the war was mentioned
in the case of old Mr.. Prewett, Of
this county, whose estate was sold out
the FIRST Monday in this month At
the breaking out of the rebellion he
was the wealthiest citizen of Tusea-
loosa County. He owned three hun
dred and sixty slaves, and large tracts
Of land. He had large sums of,money
out at interest, secured by mortgage
on negro property and land. Ho was
a homespun, economical countryman,
| who bought everything at the lowest
price for cash. He paid his physi-
cians bills before the doctor left the
house. When General Croxton came
to Tuscaloosa he took from this old
man some forty head of horses and
mules, all his money, provisions, etc,
which was his first calamity. Next
came emancipation, which swept his
slave property Next came the break
ing up OF all the men TO whom Prev
cit had loaned money, or for whom he
had stood security. Finally an exc
cution was levied on his propety for a
few thousand dollars, and all his real
estate was sold under the Sheriff
hammer for $600l

practice of firing off his pistol within the limits
of the city, for which he was arrested, and
brought before his Honor, Mayor Collins, who
turned him over to the Freedman's Bureau.
cambridge Lee, guilty of the same offence, of
being niger, and of shooting in the streets,

the cases, and the court room was soon vacated.
