mouth water to ride over.

There is quite feeling in some
parts of the county in favor of
building railroads. This is oil
right, and we are glad to see it,
but railroads are costly affairs, and
we don't know that we are able to
build them now, and we don't know
that we can obtain cooperation for
the connections we want. 1t is
much easier to raise $4,000 per
mile than to raise $4,000 per mile,
We bid these enterprises God-speed
and offer o suggestion as to turn
.pikes:-Build the pixies now, get
your produce off to market, thus
make money more plenty at home,
this will beget activity in the va
rious departments of business, we
will produce and export more and
bring in more money, the rcsour-
ces of our county will be brought
out, the character of our soil and
productions will become known
this will induce immigration of in
dustrious and good men, this viii
increase our power of production
and exports, and we are on the
high road of prosperity; and ther
we will be able to build railroads
Iif wepwant them. Shall we still
remain notorious for bad roads, o.
shall we get on the car of improve
ment and place ourselves in oul
proper position amongst the bes
: counties in the State.

The Legal Advertisement
Act Of last Legislature.

We observe in the Nashville
Union and Dispatch, notices of the
of Chancellor Steele at
this place, and Judge Somers at
Trenton, in the matter of the act
of the last Legislature, to REGULATE
the publication of legal notices."
in which rulings or opinions we
think all members of the bar and
bench who examine the question
will concur, and thus render abor-
tive a low-down act of tyranny
and littleness on the part Of hon
orable(P) legislators.
The act aforesaid provides that
the Governor shall designate such
newspeper--of course, Radical
in each Congressional District-re-
CARELESS of the county in which
the property is situate, the parties
in interest reside, or the sale to oc-
curtin which all legal advertise
ments required By laao shall be
published" Now, if we refer to
the la0 requiring advertisements
in a newspaper, Code, sec. 2, l45,)
we will find that only Gin the alb
sence of any special provision on
the subject in the authority under
which the sale is made or act
DONE" is the publication Of notice
to be made in a newspaper. If,
therefore, lawyers will in all or
ders, DEGREES, &c., for the sale of
lands, specify the manner in which
the notice shall be given, say BY
handful, the law is complied with
-satis6ed-and the dirty pack of
money-seekers from honest men
are toiled in their dirty work; a
least, in a great measure-for non
resident and attachment notice.
} amount to but little, even if ne
cessary to be given in a Radica
sheet; and for these, let lawyer
and suitors remember they are en-
; titled to but three dollars.

Removal ofthe Charleston
Aldermen--Seven Me-
groes Appointed on the
Board.
Gen. Candy has removed all the
Aldermen from Charleston, S. g.,
save four, and appointed in their
stead seven negroes.
Commenting upon this wanton
act of military despotism, the
Charleston Mercury remarks:
Our people are once more called
to realize the bitter fact that they
are conquered. We have had SO
much experience of this character
already that we had almost begun
to believe there was nothing fur
Their in store for us. But we were
mistaken. Yet another turn to
the screw There remains, howev-
err, nothing for US to do in the prem
Uses but to submit quietly, and
patiently bide the time when the
yoke shall be removed from our
neoks.
Complaints are useless, and ex.
hibitions of impotentrage are puer'
lie. We, therefore, earnestly hope
that our fellow citizens will beal
this burthen also, as they have
borne as many before, as becomes
brave men; above all things avoid
anything, by word or deed, thai
might lead to disturbance. Oul
enemies would like nothing better
than to be able to say that the ap
pointment, by military authority.
of negro Aldermen had produced
riot in Charleston. We have
ever been a peaceable people
and we must endeavor to keep up
the reputation of our city in this
respects and avoid furnishing ma
terial to the Radical revolutionisti
in the coming political campaign
We want no New Orleans anC

ing bowling. Let this reyolu
tionary regime play out.

Martin Seller of New Alban

Martin Seller of New Albany,
Ind, INDUCES regularly in the
newest brands of corn juice, and
when under its influence general
ly kicks up row at home. On
one of these occasions lately Mrs.
Seller put in treatment to which,
after several complaints, she had
been advised by Mayor Sanderson
of that city, viz: She procured
a stout green oak lash, and when
Martin crossed the threshold and
began his usual tantrums she
brought forth the stick, and for
about five minutes warmed up the
astonished drunkard severely
She fairly made the fur fly: but
there was no escape for Martin,
as she dealt the blows SO thick
and fast that her victim could
not find time to escape. Martin
finally yelled so loudly as to call a
crowd and the police, when he
was arrested, taken before Mayor
SanGerson, fined for disorderly
conduct, and his wife had to set
tie the bill for him to prevent his
being sent to Jail.

Ihis has been said to be the day
OF small men, and most certainly |
1T is SO. From the highest to the
lowest, the offices are filed by
what may be emphatieally called
small men. OF course, some of |
our magistrates and county Off
GERS are as respectable and worthy
as any that ever filled the position,
but many come under the descrip-
ton of small men. The magis-
trates, however, do not give a fair
test, as many of them are the
same men who have been serving
for the last ten or fifteen years.
Who would have expected that
Andrew johnson would occupy
the Presidential chair, though in

county is beginning TO see the
dawn after the night of the war,
but in order to arrive at the per-
feet day we must be able to get out
of our own county into the world
around US. After enjoying for a
time the blessings of good roads,
surely none of our people need an
argument in favor of turnpikes.-I
We had a great canvass and speech
making when we first began to
build turnpikes, but it is too late in
the day to have such things over
again. Our people, then, we take
it, are convinced of their utility.
We need, then, six turnpikes
coming into Fayetteville-1st,
from Tullahoma; End, from Shell
byville; 3rd, from Petersburg; 4th,
from Pulaski 9Th, from Elkton ;
and 9th, from Huntsville.
On the first ane second lines,
from Tullahoma to Fayetteville
and from Shelbyville to Fayette-
vile. we have old incorporated
companies and the old bed of
pike, and these companies are now
moving to put their roads in order.
We are pleased to see this, and
hope before long to have two fine
pixies coming into town in these
directions. We.believe the people
on these lines are aroused already,
and being tired of bouncing over
rocks, intend to set themselves
right, and become an honor and
exemplars to the county.
3rd. 1t is II miles to the village
of Petersburg, through a rich and
populous portion of the county,
and with stone and gravel conven-
ientnearly all the distance. There
is no portion of the county better
able to build a good road than the
portion from Fayetteville to Peters
burg. And moreover, it would
connect at Petersburg with an
ether good pike running to Shelby
vile. Certainly this road is rough
enough to incite to action.
4th. The road from Fayetteville
to Pulaski lies through one of the
best portions of the State, and is
one of the toughest roads in our
county. The citizens on the road
are abundantly able to build the
pike themselves. Besides a rail
road connection would be obtained
at both ends of the pike. On this
road, too, both stone and gray.
ell can be had with as little trouble
as on any other route.
9Th. While Elkton is not a coun.
ty town, and there may be no par.
ticular connection between it and
Fayetteville, yet there is a great
deal of travel over the road, and
the same reasons that would In
duce the building of pixies else
where, operate in favor of this line
also. We have here the same rich
soil, the same population, and their
ability to do the work required.
and the stone and gravel close al
hand. Scarcely any pike that
could be built would pay better
in its effects and conveniences, if
its returns were not in actual dol.
lars and cents.
9th. We believe an effort has
been made already to obtain a
charter fora pike from Fayetteville
to Huntsville. This road could
be more easily built than any
road in the county, because of its
being on the Ridge for such long
distance. This would be an I'M
portant road for many reasons, and
we are glad to see the movement
in that direction, and hope it will
be pushed forward till we have a
road that will make a mans
