The following communication contains
few very practical suggestions and statistical
facts which will prove interesting to our
readers. The figures given may be con-
sdered as very nearly correct, if not ex-
actly so, as the writer has taken great
deal of pains to make them accurate:
PULASKI, March "a, 1869.
Nh. McCoRD Perhaps it may be in
teregting to some of your readers to know
the amount of cotton now held in this coun-
ty by the farmers and spectators. After
diligent inquiry, find as near as can be
ascertained about nine hundred bales, four
hundred of which are now in Pulaski
The crop of cotton for 1868 will reach about
nine or ten thousand bales against sixteen
thousand for 1862. The average price of
the cotton crop for this season has been
about "a cents, which is nett, the farmers
generally selling in Pulaski without the
commission, or loss in weight usual when
shipping to other markets. I find from in
quiry that the farmers generally are behind
hand in getting their ground ready for
planting. 1t was thought at one time when
cotton was selling at 27@28 cents here,
that there would be a much larger area of
land putin cotton this year, but the recent
decline in cotton and the partial demorali-
cation of hands Consequent upon the pre-
sence Of the militia, will prevent the far
mers from planting as much as they would
have done had circumstances been differ
ent
The past season has demonstrated to the
farmers and all classes. that our home
market is the best for all produce raised
by them. Our merchants have been great
ly benefited by the farmers selling at home,
as they have supplied the farmers with
'ssEesstPing needed, which last year was
il's-s-.sfaRp the cotton was

The County Commissioners.

In pursuance of most unrighteous act
of the late Legislature, a new order of
things is to be naugurated in this county
next month. The judicial and executive
duties heretofore belonging to the County
Court, composed of magistrates from the
several civil districts of the county, chosen
by the people and representing their inter-
ests, are to be usurped by three commits
sioners appointed by the Governor, who
may or may not be citizens or taxpayers
of the county, who may or may not have
any interests or sympathies in common
with the people. In fact, we learn that one
of the men thus appointed to levy taxes,
control the finances, regulate the roads,
and look after the interests of Giles coun-
ty, is stranger to our people, former
resident of Indiana, and a man totally I'M
acquainted with the financial condition of
the county or the necessities of it's people.
We know nothing OF the antecedents of
this man, except that he is a stranger-an
interloper-and therefore not qualified to
discharge the duties of County Commits
sioner acceptably. Whatever his qualica-
tions may be, outside of the consideration
that he is stanger, having no identity of
interests or sympathes with US, there are
not less than a thousand thoroughly com
petent men in Giles county, of all shades
of political opinion, from whom Gov. Sen
ter might have selected these Commission
ers; and why he should import an Indiani
an to control the finances of Giles county,
is a question we are unable to answer. ex-
cept that it be that this is but part of a
preconcerted programme to insult and hu-
initiate us still further.
Even with the best appointments that
Governor Senter could possibly have made
from among our most substantial citizens,
the law would still be unnecessary and pos
itively wrong, but this appointment adds
insult to injury, and makes it a most damn
able outrage against manacled but still
brave and enlightened people. The other
Commissioners are both citizens of the
county, and we have no complaint to make
against them here, but we do most solemn
ly protest, in the name of the people, against
the importation of men from other States or
counties to control and manipulate the af-
fairs of this
Fortunately the assessment of taxes for
ths-Sf9s--2nt year. has been completed, and
these new Commissioners will have notl7
ing 70 40 with them, but henceforth the
daty of lAvyipg the taxes as well as the
g8tire duties of the County Court will de-
volve upon them exclusively.
Willie Williford, County Judge. Jno. W.
West, of Giles also, aud Mr.. Charpee, of
Indiana, are the Commissioners appointed.

officer of the court

For the Senate.

If Mr.. Garner should become a candi-
date for reelection to the State Senate, we
have understood that he will probably have
opposition in the person of Jas H. Mickey,
Esq. of Lawrenceburg. It may be how
ever that Mr.. Garner has Congressional as
pirations and that Mr.. Mickey will have no
opposition. We know nothing of his po-
litical antecedents or present political sta
tus, and therefore cannot enlighten our
readers.

Under the rigid discipline of Col. Gam

has reigned in the militia camps and

Indeed call it distreosingiy quiet here, but
to US and to the people it is most crafty

vouly prey may continue indefinitely.
