Circuit Court.

The regular August term of this Court
commenced on Monday last-HOD. Arch.
NJ. Hughes, Judge DC, presiding. The
following is the names of the Grand Jury
for theterm:
Jos. s. Edmundson, Foreman, Robert L.
Maelin. Henry M. Stanley, Simpson A.
Patterson, Thos. Y. Wilsford, Rob'tJ. An
derson, George w. Wilson, Jno McMil-
lion, VIM. F. Alexander and James NJ. Ed
wards.
The charge of his Honor to the Grand
Jury was in his usual forcible and compre-
hensive manner. He impressed upon the
minds of the Jury especially the import
ant duty resting upon the Courts and Ju-
ries of the State at this time in preserving
the peace, by their extraordinary diligence
in bringing Offenders to justice, and enfOr-
cling the laws. The Judge spoke in the
highest terms of the Confederate Generals
who had met in Nashville to use their eff
forts and pledge their influence in preserv-
ing peace, and also remarked that il his
Judicial circuit he had seen no disposition
on the part of the officers OF juries to neg
lect their duty. We would be pleased to
have been able TO give his HOnOr's charge
in full on this point.
Several old cases have been disposed of,
and it is expected to pretty well clear the
docket during this. term. There are 3O2
cases on the trial docket, moszs small cases
with little involved. All the Cases on this
docket after $50 have been continued over
until next week. At the last term the
States day was changed from the second to
the third Monday of each term. So the
State docket will not be called until Mon
day the 18th inst.
We see Col. Luke Pryor, OF Athens,
Ala, Mr.. J. N. Taylor, of Lexington, and
Mr.. NJ. s. FrIerson, of Columbia, Tenn,
ara in attendance at this court.

New Music.

We thank the publisher for the August
numbers of Peters Musical Review, Glee
Hive and Parlor Companion. The Review
is exceedingly interesting in point Of mu-
steal literature, and the SELECTION of music
good. 1t contains two new ballads, one
waiting u the Twilight" by J. R. Thon.
as. and beautiful little song by VIII. s.
Hays, "The Last Sweet Smile You Gave
Me-" The instrumental peices are 'Grants
Gallop" and "SeymoUr's March," The
movement indicates the rapid galloP Of
Grant from the high position he once Oc-
cupied as the leader Of the armies of the
Republic to ignOminy and defeatin NOvem-
Der, and the steady and brilliant march of
Seymour to the White House at the same
time.
The songs and instrumental Peices CT the
other publications are worthy place upon
every piano.

Presbvterian Simmer.


The ladies of the Presbyterian Oougre-
gssion will give a supper next Tuesday
night, at the Cumberland church, for the
benefit of their the Presbyterian church.
Several Of our young ladies. tOgather with
the Pulaski Brass Band, have consented to
make music for the occasion.
The proceeds of the entertainment will
be appropriated to the repair of the church,
which it very much needs. An invitation
is extended by the Presbyterian families in
town to their friends in the country to stop
with them and attend the supper.
4 would be unnecessary TO urg ca full at
tendance upon this liberal hearted commu-
nifty. The simple announcement of the
object of the entertainment will insure q
crowded house.

If our readers should disco yer any def
cheney in the quantity of reading matter
published hereafter. they may attribute it
to the fact that owing to the failure of our
friends and patrOn0 to "cOme down with
the stamps" we have been compelled to
discharge one of our best compositions
They will either have to submit 10 a re-
duCtion in the quantity of matter furnished
weekly, or furnish US with the means to
employ assistance, by settling up back ra-
tions. The legislations and prescriptions
of radicals, together with the Indifference
and neglect of our friends, have well nigh
depleted our pockets.

Tax Collector Around.

We notice Maj. Aymett, Tax Collector,
on his rounds. He meets with some very
wry faces when his book is opened before
the disfranChised aud oppressed taxpayers.
Aud we don't wonder at it. They remem-
Der that It was a Radical Legislature, not
Of their choosing, that imposed these hea-
w taxes upon them, snd which are now
four or FIVE times greater than when honest
representatives legislated for them. Then
their taxes were not oppressiye-not more
than 90 cents on the hundred dollars worth
of .property-now it is 80 cents. The poll
tax Reyer exceeded 90 cents. now it is 3d.
25. h the State government were proper
ly administered it would cos: no more now
than it did under Democratic rule. The
people naturally inquire what goes with
this tax-money. Not one cent of it is sp-
Propriated to paying off debts made by the
rebellion. Where does the money go ?

The utter stagnatiOn of everything of a
political nature in Washington is complete,
the lull in the storm has come, and the calm
is oppressive. and the dullness overwhelm-
ing. The politicians occupation. like
Othello's, is gone, hook and line, bob and
sinker.
The Departments are somewhat galvan-
lied into temporary liveliness by the mon
ey thrown into them by the appropriations,
and the prospect Of pap to the Barnacles of
the different circumlocution Offices creates
quite run on all the departments and bu-
reaus.
The President will now devote his time to
rest and recuperation, which he needs, the
duties of his office being exceedingly oner-
GUS and exhaueting, although he has stood
up to his work with wonderful pertinacity
and pluck, his capacity for labor being very
great.
