WEDNESDAY, MAY IL, 1870

The fredericksburg Herald says:-"The peo'
pie Of Virginia have just emerged from long
and terrible struggle with ultra Radical oppres-
sion and misrule. They have succeeded in
gaining valuable triumph for Conservatism.
To reap tbs practical fruits of this victory, the
Conservatives must stand and work together.
The man, who acts so as to break the unity Of
the party, does great wrong. The leaders Of
tho ultra Radical party are striving desperately
to regain their lost supremacy; they are at work
again. to use the colored people as cats-paws,
to place them in power. Let Conservatives
band and work together. and all will be WELL "

No book has been issued from the

1t has special and essential merits be-

Rock Spring

Is a very pious, temperate village, in
the upper part Of this county, and Geo.
p. Whitaker, the leading merchant,
does not keep any whiskey, or other
spirituous liquor. During the Christ
mas an Irishman named Crimmins came
to the conclusion that Rock Spring was
q mighty dull place, and thought he
would enliven matters by getting on a
spree. Accordingly he went to the store
kept by that capital fellow, George p
Whitaker, and as George kept no whis-
key, he bought eighteen bottles of Hur.
ley's Bitters, which did the Initiating
business for him beautifully. Grim
Minis Christmas spree cost him three
months wages.

A month or so ago, Mr. j. F. WILBUR,
who has been for several years past the
Express Agent at Columbia, and the du-
ties of which office he faithfully and hon
estly discharged, recently sent in. his
resignation to headquarters at Memphis.
Mr.. Il. TAYLOR Yoss has performed the
active duties of the office for some time
past, and gave such general satisfaction,
that about seventy-five of our business
men signed aipetition requesting the
Express Company to appoint him as Mr..
WILBUR's successor. The Superintend-
ent saw fit to disregard the petition, and
appointed e stranger whose name we do
not know. He doubtless has peculiar
merits, but number OF our citizens

ing preamble and resolutions were unan-
imously adopted, viz:
WHEREAS, 1t hath pleased the Grand
Master above, who doeth all things well,
even when he works in mysteries which
cannot be understood by the Lodges here
below, to alarm our outer door, and call
from among us our much esteemed
friend and brother JAMES AKIN, who de-
parted this life January 18th, A. D., 1870,
and A. L., $50; therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That in the deeply lamented
death of brother JAMES AKIN, the frater-
nifty has lost an honorable member-the
community useful and philosophical
citizen-the family good and kind hus-
band, and tender and affectionate ia
ther
Resolped, That while we deeply de-
plore and mourn this, to us, sad and af-
fiictive dispensation, we humbly bow to
the will of the most holy Grand Master
of the universe, who reigns in mercy even
when He surrounds His throne with
darkness
Resolred, That we extend to the imme-
diate family of our deceased brother our
heartfelt sympathy in this their sad be-
rcavenrent, hoping and believing that
their TEMPORARY loss is his eternal gain
commencing them for consolation to the
sympathy of Him, whose compassion
stempers the wind to the shorn lamb"
ResolUed, That as tribute of respect
to our deceased brother, we wear the
usual Masonic badge of mourning thirty
days.
Resolued, That these resolutions be put
upon the minutes of the Lodge, copy
furnished to the family of our deceased
brother, and thai they also be published
in the COLUMBIA HERALD.

Rev. WIN. MACK preached the funeral

North CarOlfnian Teaching Tennes-
seeanS How to Farm.

Maury County people have always
been so highly blessed with rich and
productive lands, that they have paid
but little attention to improving their
worn-out acres. Of late years, howev-
or, they have become partially awaken
ed to the fact that something must be
done to restore the great waste occa-
stoned by bad culture. Although our
land is rolling and easily washed, vet it
never gets so bad that it cannor be re-
stored, by care and intelligent labor
Last Spring, a gentleman from North
Carolina, near the Virginia line, named
f. NJ. Fuller, undertook TO show Mr..
John Nicholson, of the Rock Spring
country, by experiment, what he was
losing each year by w;sat of attention to
his land. He prepared some of his very
poorest land for cotton, by manpring
1T and laying 1t off in short, circling
rows. The result is highly gratifying.
Under the old system of culture, the
land would scarcely have produced any
thing but rCnty cottonless stalks. but
Mr.. Fuller made it bring 500 pounds per
acre, IL was a bad year for cotton too.

Another Fight at Carter. Creek.

Last Saturday q white man named
Sleight got into difficulty with negro,
Radical negro, at Carter's Creek Sta
tion, and hit him. They clinched, and
the negro was pounding S. severely,
when Rufe Peyton was seen to raise on
high huge stick of wood. The negro
saw the stick, and knew who had it, and
retreated in disorder, and as rapidly as
Bragg. John A. Campbell, who is 'pos-
suming' on the candidacy for Sheriff, says
