Cropping on Shares


The Franklin (Tenn.1 Review,
of the 31st ult., has the following:
"From what we can see and
gather, the farmers who are crop
ping on shares with freedmen in
this county will, as a general
rule, abandon the plan another
year. We know a good many
fields that would with anything
like proper cultivation have
grown rich crops of corn and
cotton, but were abandoned Or
neglected during the late canvass
to such an extent that they are
entirely ruined. Our farmers gen.
orally would do well to profit by
such lessons, which by no means
arise from isolated cases, and
shape their plans accordingly.
"There is less probability of Sc
curing good work next year than
this, and we are satisfied, after
careful study, that the true policy
Of our farmers is to SOW a largely
increased body of land in grass
and grain-which we anticipate
they will do. The farmer who,
next year, cultivates his lands
with the least labor-or in palmer
words who so arranges his crops
as to need but little assistance in
their cultivation-will be better off,
and make more clear money,
without half the annoyance and
trouble, than he who depends on
the uncertain plan of cropping on
the shares or producing good crops
with hired labor. And the great,
er the number who adopt this
course, the better for their own
good and the welfare of the coun.
try"

- We have too many high
toned gentlemen who have plenty
of honor for fighting and quarrel
ing, and but little for paying hon
est debts. The genuine flower of
chivalry blossoms only ON the
stem of simple upright and down
right dealing. Let us honor those
who respect their simplest word,
rather than those who make loud
oaths only to break them. Let us
nurse by higher regard a lofty and
sensitive commercial integrity,
instead of a system of bullying,
which feed us only on the east
wind.--[Homer niad.

An Eloquent Extract.

The following is an extract from
the defence of Surratt by Mr.. Mer-
rick, one ofhis counsel, indicating
him from the imputation of hav-
ing virtually confessed his guilt
by fight from the country. In
our judgment it is entitled to
rank with the finest specimens of
forensic eloquence on record:
Essays the District Attorney,
Surratt has confessed his guilt by
fiight-fight from a mother over
whose head was impending such a
sad fate. Gentlemen of the jury,
he knew not of her condition until
she was executed, or about that
time; and when he got the infor-
nation he was restrained by force
from coming. This we are ready
to prove. Fly! What else could
he do? Suspicion of guilt in that
day was certainty of conviction.
Military commissions were organ
lied, not to try, but to condemn.
Who Of you would have fed if a
reward had been offered for your
head? He saw his name in the
papers while in Canada, and he
fed. Of course he fled. He
went from blazing country. He
fed not from justice, but from
lawlessnes. He fed not from trial,
but from conviction and oppres-
sion. Suppose he had been here,
could he have had a trial? Why,
guilty or innocent, he would have
been hung. Law was dead in the
country. The iron hand of power
had suppressed judicial authority,
Tyranny rode wild in the land.
No man was safe with a price on
his head. To tell me that to flee
under such circumstances was
confession is to tell me that which
is too absurd to merit the dignity
of reply"

The GgSIIett Steel Brush
Gin. -

TTNhis celebrated COTTON GIN, is
IL again manufactured under the
supervision of the Patentee, B. D.
Gullett, with greatly improved facili-
ties; and we. as agents for the South
west, now offer it as the best gin made.
Its advantages are:
LIST. The quantity of cotton ginned
in given time is much greater than
by any other gin of equal number of
saws. E
Cd. 1t separates from the Cotton
all notes and dust and leaves it clean
from nap.
Sd. The Steel Brush straightens
out the lint, removing all kinks and
knots.
4th. The Roll cannot be broken by
over feeding.
All Gins are tested before leaving
the factory. Cotton from this gin will
sell for an advance in price, sufficient
in so Bales to pay for the gin, because
il is freed from notes, dirt and nap.
1t has been in use extensively in the
southwest ten years, and wherever
used it supercedes all other gins.

FELLOW CITIZENS
Of Ai67in County.


I sincerely return you my thanks, for
your free suffrages these three years last
past, by promoting me to the honour of
being one of your representatives in the
State legislature; and also return nv
thanks to my friends, for their free votes
and suffrage at the late election for the
same office: but do not mean to imply
that those who voted against me are my
enemies, except such of them (ifany there
be- who have vlified and falsely aspersed.
and attempted to depreciate my charac-
ter.
And whereas, it has been propagated
that | am angry and much displeased at
losing the election. But the following are
my real sentiments, and sOlations. First,
that | have the vanity to believe, (at least
lam conscientiouslya acquitted that have
not deceived my trust, in any political or
local question:; and further particularly
consoled, that | live under a government,
where the people have land hope ever
may have) a right to freely elect whom
they please once year.
And also that the county will be at no
loss III their representatives as MeSSrs
Turbett and M'Farlane, the successful
candidates, are good characters and re-
publicans.
And further if any improper warmth
or expression has fallen from any of the
citizens in support of their choice of can
didates, l do seriously recommend and
advise them, with me to agree in the true
spirit of Christianity and republicanism,
to forgive and harmonic with their neigh
bours: and also my friends with me,
cheerfully to submit to the majority.
