of the citizens of this county met at Frank
lin on Monday, and adopted the following
resolutions:
Resolved, LIST. That thismeeting regard the
question of Southern secession settled for all
time to come, by the result of the late civil
war-that all our political hopes for the fu-
ture are founded on the establishment and
preservation Of constitutional reunion of
all the States-and to this end we are de-
eidedly and zealously in favor of the policy
of restoration inaugurated and advocated by
President JOHNSON.
2nd That the amendments of the Federal
Constitution now proposed by the Congress
Of the United States, and for action upon
which the Legislature of this State has been
called to meet on the 4th of this month, are
opposed to the interests and feelings of the
people of Tennessee, and their ratification
by the Legislative body would be, under the
circumstances, an act of usurpation, injustice
and oppression, without either justification
OF excuse.

lied to announce that the proper authorities
have resolved TO revive the suspended Fairs

is fixed for the 10th of October next, and a
committee is now at work, getting up list
of premiums. Experience has clearly dem

that importance. Let all interested, take up
the subject seriously, and resolve to make

The Winchester Home Journal of yester-
day, says:
The Fourth passed off quietly here, with
out any demonstration whatever. We I'M
derstand our colored friends assembled in
large numbers at Decherd, and made quite
a display-men, women and children march
ing and cOuntermarching over the hot fields,
at the sound of the drum, led by two or
three gentlemen with red ribbons around
their shoulders. They had a picnic at the
spring on Mr.. CoLYAR's place, and speeches
by the Rev. Mr.. TRTIBLE (cOl.), Mr.. SIN
CLIFTON and Prof" SCURLOCK.
Although Monday was County Court day,
there were but few citizens in from the
country, which is owing to the fact that the
weather was favorable for farming operations,
and the farmers we're busy blowing their
corn and harvesting their grain. And, by
the way, the wheat crop is reported TO be
much better than was expected some time
ago.

bred thousand bushel of wheatin this county
the present season. Purchasers are now pay
ing, in this market, two dollars per bushel
for good merchantable wheat, provided it is
delivered by the Goth instant. This is fair
price for it, and ouropinion is that our farm

will not go higher and may come below them
in few weeks.

dist Church South, which was commenced

SULLIVAN CoUNTY.-The Bristol Nelrs,
of Friday, says;
This section, as a general thing, is blessed
with a good fruit crop this season, the pos .
SCISSORS of which should use every means to
make it a source Of profit. In fact, every (
thing that can be sold for money or ex- !
changed for the necessaries of life should re-
ceive due attention.
Our farming friends are through with ,
their wheat harvest. They agree that it will |
be some better than a half-crOp in quantity |
and number one in quality. From what we I
can learn the market will open at $500 to D.
81 .25 per bushel in this section.
