We publish. in another column, commu-
nication from YIN. j, Dews, intended as a
reply to an article in our last isstse protesting
against petition, which is being circulated
among certain class in this community
Were we disposed to controyert this subject,
it would require but little trouble, at our
hands, to show up its lame and impotent
conclusions, but, feeling disinclined to open
wider the door to "a newspaper controversy,
which we think is the desire of the writer,
we leave our readers to form their own con-
illusions upon this as it seems to us, weak
production. Although not a legitimate re-
ply to our article, we insert it for two rea-
sons, first, that no pretext may be afforded
those who claim to be the & real Union men
in this section fer asserting that they can not
be heard through the papers, and, secondly,
that disqualification needs no further reply
than careful perusal at the hands of our
readers.

Mr.. Stevens having declined to be can
dilate for the Z. S. Senatorship before the
Georgia Legislature, a number of members,
granting him the right of refusing to be a
candidate, but claiming their right to be-
stow upon hm the opposition, wrote, asking the
direct question, Twill you serve if elected. .
To which Mr. Stephens replied as follows
"MILLEpeEy1LLE, January 20, 1866.
:.lNessrs. II. r. Casey, William Gibson,
and others
"Thc right claimed by you in your note
to me of this date, do not wish to be under
stood as at all calling in question"
In reply to your interrogatory, | can on
ly say that cannot imagine any probable
case in which I would refuse to serve, to the
best of my ability, the people Of Georgia in
any position which might be assigned to me
by them or their Representatives, whether
assigned with Or withoutmy consent.

I was glad to observe, in modest corner
of your last issue, card signed by com
nittee of the & Churchville farmers Club, y
inviting meeting Of the farmers of the
County at Churchville, on the 10Th inst
It is really refreshing to hear Of something
which has not the odor Of politics (surely no
one will deny that there is an oaor in the
present political atmospheric and which
looks like getting back again to business and
enterprise.
The Churchville Farmers Club was
organized Nov 1860, and consists of twelve
members, all practical and thrifty farmers,
who are willing to adopt an Improvement,
despite the sneers of those who still believe
in going to mill with the corn in one end Of
the bag and stone in the other. The Club
meets monthly at the house Of some one of
it's members, taking them in rotation, so as
to meet On each farm at least once year !;
and Notwithstanding the Inconvenience Of 're-
po,tiag," " refugeeing," &C., during the
war, it is said the Club missed but three
meetings during the four years, "a fact which
speaks well for the personal interest Of the
members, and for the good dinners accustom-
ed to be provided for them,
At their meeting they discuss subjects per-
tanning to agriculture, inspect the farm and
stock of the member at whose house they
meet, and interchange opinions and sugges-
tons. Now all this has proved both pleas
ant and profitable, demonstrating that . in
union there is strength
Would it not be well if there were similar
organizations in every neighborhood in the
County? They would serve to stimulate
and encourage that department of business,
to which we must look for real, solid wealth,
On which every country must be ultimately
dependent and which now certainly (second
only. of course to the immortal Sambe, de-
mands the most serious consideration.
Then let every intelligent and enterprising
farmer in the county, attend this assem-
bly, if possible, and give his voice and inhu-
onyv to whatever good project may be start
ed there.

"ALExANDER II. STEPHENS. !"

The late speeches of Gen. Sweeney and
Col Roberts, well known in Fenian circles,
foreshadowing an intended attack on Cana
da, seems to have created quito sensation
there, causing the Banks to move their bull
lion to fortified towns, and the forts to be
strengthened and doubly garrisoned. As
John Bull sneered at the small affair we had
here, in the shape of the late war, it is truly
refreshing to see the equaninity @ with
which he hears that two men purpose the in
vasion and capture of Canada.
