Editors Memphis Appeal:
In this locality the weather for the
past month has been, perhaps, not Of
equal intensity to the heat of q hydrogen
flame, but OF q temperature to justify the
belief that it is in full sympathy With
Hades, as the lawgivers Of each have
been for several years past. It's not I'M
commonly the case for the Thermometer
to reach 1902 Fahrenheit. A decided
change has taken place, however, IN the
last twelve hours, and 1t seems that the
sOlstitial heats Of summer have been
succeeded by the cool, chilling winds OF
autumn, which are now straying mid
the 4" forest ~aisles," Weakening their
thoRsand wind -harps, and reminding us
that o o we will sigh that
" The melanchoy days have come, the saddest
on wsuiog winds and naked woods, aud
meadows brown and sere."
The crop prospects in this county, as a
general thing, are very fiatteFing. The
corn is large and well developed and will
Weld an abundant harvest. The farmers,
with 8 creditable sagacity, planted
largely In excess Of last year, and they
have been rewarded with bOunteous
fields of this all-impOrtant cereal. Cot
ton has a luxuriant appearance but VIII
not realize the sanguiBe expectations
INDUCED ia the esriy part of h season.
The worm made its appearance IN
August. and was tOlerably disastrous for
A time. but the hot weather intervening
this plague and abOminatiOn soon dis
apDeared. We have been Informed,
however, that il has r%eappeared in the
cotton, and many Of the farmers are ex-
eeedingly apprehensive that its second
visitation will he attended with ravages
OF a most serious character. It is to be
hOped that their fears may not be real
lied, but that glorious results will crown
the farming interests, as the people,
seourged BY the war and ieft-many of
them penniless, can i'll afford to have
another weight added to the accumulated
misfortunes under which they suffer.
Their impecuniOsity is preventing them
from making necessary repairs on their
farms and supplying the deficiency in
agricultural implements, stock, etc; and
another failure would intlict losses almost
irreparable. Prosperous seasons, propI-
dous gales and q little indulgence from
their merchants, however, will recupe-
rate their shattered fortunes, restore their
former prosperity and possibly, like
Auteus, the giant of old, they may gain
red0ubled energy and strength from
their prostratiOn and humiliation. Mar
shall county has long enjoyed the honor
OF being designated as the empire
county Of the cotton states" 1t made n
the year 81 about 5000 bales Of cotton,
a number not only unsurpassed, but, as
yet, unequaled by any other county in
the south. Its people are intelligent, en-
terprisiug and indOmitable, and de-
termiued to continue in the lead. As a
general thing they are not intermecdling
in notifies. We are inclined to the Opin-
ion that they will vote in favor OF a con
ventiOn. The whites are about equally
divided on this, while
"The coIored cuss from africa

for the holding Of the convention, as
4" Cuffee" imagines he sees in its results
the incubation Of the radical egg of negro
suffrage, and the Matching Of q colOred
80 duugbiILU which will crow st the dawn
Of the millennium morning, and even
when the thunders Of the last day shall
have broken the pillars Of earth, will &c

the River Of Life" May his rapturOu;
vision neve become an enchanting re-
atty.
A radical biped By the name Of Capt
n. G. Gill, who resides in Holly Springs
is engaged in peddling politics to the ne
ErOes Of this county. This fellow, who
is backed by no merit but " plain devil
and assembling looks" announces
himself as their candidate. HI
was formerly an agent OF the freed
mems 6lreau, and s. more contemplate,
pusilanimous and depraved creature
does not pouute the atmosphere with biz
vile breath. He is y fit peer Of negroes
with whom he associates, and a worthy
disciple Of that eldest sucking Of the
devil, Juggling at the parent dog for hell
ish inspiration the malignant Thad
Stevens. He has been trying to make
speeches through this county, wherein
he INDUCES in ~lugubriOus strains of the
misery to be entsiled or the negro by
the success of the anti-cOnventiOn, and
the certainty Of their being remanded Z
bondage in the event OF bis defeat. HI
addresses himself on all occasions to the
blacks, and utterly ignores the presence
Of the whites.
Amongst the prominent men Of thi'
county who are favOring the convention
project, we hear Of such good and Patri
otto men as Gen. FeatherstOn, Col. Ton
Harris. Hon. JnO. VIC. Watson, MAJ. Up
shaw and Mai. KinIOch Fslconer, who be
lieye the adoption Of the Sherman bill i

posed in his letter to Gen. Pike 10 at

will fail, the wish would be father to th'
thought. We can only hope that tht
