FRlESD LEDGER: Although we live
outside of your metropolis, and have not
the felicity Of being subject to Brown
low, suppose you may take some inte-
rest in our matters AS | promised you
would do it, write, however, without
any great deal to say, As to our crops
in this vicinity, We are good deal dis
couraged. Corn on the strongest land
has been drowned out, and the thin land
has very few or no ears. We shall not
make a supply near, and besides being
now destitute, shall have to begin to use
the new crop much earlier than usual.
The cotton crop is sorry, and a great
deal of II still in the grass and being
worked when it ought to have been laid
bv the fourth of July, as usual. 1t is not
yet half grown, and has only commenced
blooming, and has not but six weeks to
bloom in, for we do not count on blooms
making bolls which come after the 10th
of September. Still, the cotton is rap
idly improving, and we cannot yet tell
much about the turnout
Business is extremely dull here. We
have no money, and poor promise in
every way. We shall take your advice
and avoid getting into your Tennessee
fix, if we possibly can. We call it down
here "the devil, to use our backwoods
expression, and if we have to 90 to the
"Old Scratch " at last, we mean to put
it off as long as we can.
We delight in reading your excellent
paper, and everybody is eager to get it.
1t gives us the earliest news of any paper
in Memphis, as it arrives in the night by
the train which leaves your city at six
clock pm. | think there are more
than hundred copies sold here every
morning. God speed you in your good
and patriotic work.

Haffee, of London, England, as the
agent of British capitalists, to report
upon the question of investments in the

Green that Mr.. McHafiee reached New
York in December last, and went with
him on tour Of observation through the
South, as far as Houston, Texas.
On his return to Europe he
made a very favorable report and
the parties in London agreed TO advance
fl 900, 600, equal to near 81 900, 600 Of
currency, TO be loaned in Tennessee. Col
Green urged upon Mr.. MeHaffee, and he
reported to his friends in London, that
whatever might happen TO the other
Southern States, Tennessee was recon
strucied, and investments in this State
would be safe A gentleman was selected
by the London parties 70 come TO New
York, and there sell his drafts on London,
the proceeds to be loaned in the State Of
Tennessee, through the American Indus-
trial Agency. Bat before be sailed, news

most remarkable. Death had no terror

Why He should Be Removed.

There are three reasons why Sheridan
| should be removed; and each of them is
not only sufficient ground for removal,
but is of a character which, if the Presi-
dent is guided By duty, leaves him no
discretion in the premises;
l. Sheridan was virtually guilty OF
disobedence of orders in refusing to ex-
tend the time of registration as directed
by that president.
2. In his letter to General Grant CON
tanning his refusal to ext end the time,
he spoke of the commander in chief OF
the army and navy in an insulting man
ner, in that he contributed to him cor
rupt and demagog ical motives.
g. In the removal and appointment
of civil officers in the district under
his command, prior to the passage of the
declaratory reconstruction act, he viola
ted the laws under which he was acting
as military commanders and since the
passage of the declaratory act, in the
removal of Governor Throckmorton, he
has exercised the power with which he is
invested in a spirit Of tyranny, and con-
trary to the best interests OF the people
Of Texas.
L
quious instrument of radicalism to dots
worst and meanest work have nothing
to do with the enforcement Of the terms
of the military bills. 1t is not improba.
BILE that Sheridan, in studying those
terms, has more accurately OWNED the
intentions of Congress in the passage of
the bills than have the other district
commanders. The acts themselves are
suggestive of all that is rotton
and infamous; but they do not ex-
pressly command the men charged
with their execution to descend to
such acts of meanness and petty despot-
ism as have distinguished Sheridan rule
as district commander. They do com.
mand the performance of much that is
black and criminal and they grant per
mission to district commanders to do that
which is even worse and more Internal
than the provisions of the bills them
selves when fairly and generously inter
preted. The trouble with Sheridan is
that he has availed himself of this per-
mission Chicago Times

cure for drunkenness, which is exten-
sively practieed in Holland. The patient
is shut up in a room, and debarred all
communication, except with his physi-
clan. As often as he pleases, spirits
brandy, whisky, gin, etc,-are given him,
but mixed with two thirds water; all
other drinks, such as beer, coffee, wine,
etc, are mixed with one-third brandy.
The various viands, too, that are given
him-bread, meats, etc.-are allprepared
with brandy; consequently the patient
is in a state Of continual intoxication.
This lasts about five days. at the end of
that time he asks with entreaty for some
nourishment, without his request being
complied with, and not until his organs
naturally abhor alcohol The cure is
complete, and from that day forth the
very smell of spirits produces the effect
Of an emetic.
