Giles County Agricultural Society.


We are rejoicOd to chronicle the fact
that important steps have been taken to re-
organize the Agricultural and Mechanical
Society of this county, and an effort will be
made to have an exhibition this Fall
The Executive COMMITTEES had called
meeting on Monday last. and a committee
consisting Of Messrs. Jas. E. Alternately,
j. B. ChildFess, Wm. Perry, Frank Max
well and Robert Rodes, was appointed to
locate the grounds and ascertain the
probable cost Of lumber, and other expen.
seq necessary in preparing for Fair this
Fall
A committee was also appointed whose
duty il is to make list of members, and
solicit contributions to aid in defraying the
necessary expense of preparing for an ex-
hibition. It would perhaps be improper
for the committee to 60 forward upon in
dividual responsibility and incur the ex-
pense necessary, and it is proper that all
who feel interested in The Society should
aid in again placing it upon its feet. 1t is
the intention to make it altogether self
sustaining, but a small cash zoutlay will
be necessary at-frst. The committee com
prise the following names from the different
civil districts

The following is an extract from Colone
Baxter's eighth letter to the Knoxville Com
n1ercial
In one particular the Governors position
is most pitiable. Tho he is Governor he
has never appreciated the dignity of his
Office. He enters into personal quarrel
with a private citizen as of old and from
the mere force of habit, long INDUCED, he
proelaims falsehoods with the same reck-
Iessness that characterized him twenty
years ago. He has quilted the Capt.
tol AID for five weeks past ignored his .Ex-
ecutive duties aud bsaken himself to edit
ing the Knoxville Wtj1, and, as hereto
fore, during all this time not an article has
appeared which approximates to argument,
or which is worthy of being read by an in
telligent man seeking for Information upon
any subject of public interest HIS char
ges and insinuations against me are false
and calumnious. They are the fabrications
Of his own carrupt brain. maliciously in
vented and put forth without the color of
truth. In order to give plausibility to one
of them, he deliberately misrepresented
DR.. Rogers, and although Dr.. Rogers vol
unfairly called on him and requested a
correction, as any one interested may as
certain by asking the Doctor the questions,
the Governor comes out in his Issue of the
22d inst, aud instead Of correcting the
statement, re-affirms his former falsehood
A few days ago Col. Robert Morrow called
and requested the correction of other mis-
statements. sThe cubic will see whether
tie corrections are made. There is one
fact which the Governor has not yet learn
ed. His defamation has ceased to be a
power in this land. He has been faIsify-
ing through the Wing too long in this COM
munity to effect thing by this means now.
Very few. if any, of his followers. even,
believe anything which he either says OF
writes and among honest men his denun-
citation is taken as the highest mead of
praise.
The Governor is pleased to call me a
Toward and "scoundrel" Let him
indulge, if he chooses, in repetition of
this language. As matters now stand
possess no adequate remedy for the wrong
which he impotendy attempts to inhict.-
Butt have no occasion to bolster up my
character for courage or integrity am
satisfied with the es.imatewhich my neigh
bors and acquaintance5 place upon me ;
and am willing to be before strangers up
on his statement of the case. 1 have
courage enough to expose my official cor
rupIion, and this one fact, with sensible
and just men. is sufficient to insure me
their confidence and respect; and 1 have
courage and honesty enough to do my duty
to the country in the future as have done
it in the past. JoHN BAXTER.

The people Of Franklin county met en-
masse on Saturday last to counsel together.
to provide some defense, or seek some pro-
lection, againt the raids, murders and rob
berries Of Brownlow's militia, under one
Capt. Hickman. Many fresh cases of out
rage and threats of contrlved Outrages
were made public, aud the testimony
brought before the meeting, showed that
the murder of Brown was the worst, I'M
provoked, dastardly and cruel murder ever
perpetrated in the country. The citizens
have peGtioned the President for protec-
ton, and in the meantime have resolved to
protect themselves.

The Outrages Committed in Franklin
County.

SOAAAGJ
The following is a summary Of the out
RACES committed by Brownlow's militia in
Franklin county The citizens on Wednes-
day night held a meeting and resolved to
petition the Federal Government for protec-
ton against these cowardly rufians:
For weeks the conduct Of this militia
has been such as TO deter many Of our
citizens from engaging in their ordinary
pursuits, and in particular parts Of the
county. farmers particularly have been de-
tered from making any expenditure IN the
purchase or collection Of stock to make a
crop and in portions of the county the
indications now are thatthe crop will have
to be abandoned and viii be entirely lost.
Several Of our citizens have been driven
from their homes and for weeks have been
hiding out. Within the last few days, tie
outrages Of this militia have been of a
much more serious and alarming character.
They have been travelling over the country
pretending to be hunting arms, but they
have, in the most violent manner, entered
peoples houses, insulted the women. alarm
ed the children. threatening to kill many
persons.
Among the families thus outraged, are
Dr. Abernathy's, E. II. Poe's. Hampton's
and many others.
Only few days ago, they took an in
offensive boy. the son of E. H. Poe, a
prisoner, carried him to camp, and tied
him and condemned him to be shot, aud
his life was saved by the intercession of a
friend, making the young man promise, on
pain of death, not to tell what had taken
place.
Yesterday morning, about daylight, a
portion of this militia went to the house of
a peaceable, quiet citizen, James Brown,
ard upon pretended acknowledgment
which they claim 20 have extracted from
him, by falsely personating East Tennessee
refugees, as to the part he BROWN took in
the war, they took him into the woods, ut
terly disregarding the appeal and cries of
his wife and father, aud put him to death
in a most heartless and cruel manner
Leaving him dead. they returned to camp.
only sending word to his wife that she
could send and get her husband she want
ed him.
Other citizens were shot at, and the lives
of many nen have been threatened. Sew
eral Of our citizens have been notified with
in the last few days that they would be
killed.
