MR. EnrYoR :-Sincc my last moth
ing of interest has transpircd in oul
county worthy of note. Our crops o.
all kinds look finely, notwithstanding
the wet weather; and, with moderate
seasons of rain, We may look Tor
bountiful harvest. -. 81. FL - n.
We sre likely o'hayc Quite an in'
tcresting racc,in our Judicial Circui'
for Attorney General, there being
soine four or five candidates in the
field, among whom is Col. ID. kIcE'
late of the GonfedeFste army. Col.
RICE served with distinction in what
he and almost all of us believed TO be
a righteous cause; was severely
wounded in the desperate battle at
Franklin, where SO many of our gal
liant sons fell lis young lawyer OF
fine ability ;ibold, fearless, energetic.
and at The same time courteous and
aflshlc in bis manners; and if elected ted,
win mako as most excellent Attor-
ncy General. He is, and deseryedly
SO, ,, great pet in This county, and VIII u
carryIIitagainst any one by q large
ma,ority.a Judge WAnkEK will be
our, Ju.ig,,c.,a without opposition, mn
less the people have; brains enough
to fake him from US and place hlm
on The Supreme Bench, to which 20.
sit:oi he would carry as much legal
ability, correctness Of Judgment and
integrity of character, as any man nan IN IN
our State. !isi- ho"i- i-If, D. s7oW :. Z
In regard to our future, politically, y
know but little, as ! am down here
in the backwoods, ''so-called," and d"
not know what course our leading a
men in the State may sec proper to
advise; but of one thing l am certain
and so must you be, and every oth.
err man who has a thimblefui OF
brains-that our only hope for the
future is in the Democracy of the
North and Northwest; and if We ever
wish to see our beloved and suffer-
ing country rescued from the grasp OF
the miserable oligarchy who now rule
tive must elect men who will, ana
who, can, give aid, and comfort, and
support, to our brother Democrats OF
the North. We MUST become united,
and laying aside all former divisions,
together with all personal preferences
upon the altar of our bleeding and
oppressed country, strike heavy and
well directed blows, until we rescue
that country from the hands of oul
oppressors. The day for brute force
to Triumph over the liberties of Q
once frecand happy people, !has near
" passed, and now that reason, and
Justice, and pure patriotism, arc about
once more to assume sway, let us
choose for the higher places of honor
and trust. men of the right stamp,
and all will again be well. Let rs
not look to what a man HAS been po-
litically, or what he has heretofore
done, but TO what he is NOW, and
what lac. can do now. Let the people
the great arbitcr of a nations rights
meet and consult together; and LEI
the press, the great motive power O
public opinion, sec to it that they dc
all they can to shape aud mould pub
lie opinion, in the right direction
and all will soon again be well, and
peace, prosperity, and happiness viii
once more spread their sheltcrins
wings over united and happy peo-
pies. d - t-,'s iF Fi 20
1 am Of opinion that the Democra
cy of our Congressional Distric
should meet i'm convention at some
early day, and laying all ''ante-bel
lum" differences aside, select a true
reliable, LIVE man, to represent us in
the next Congress of the United
States. We wantno halfway, milk
aud-cidcr man, but one of ability
energy, and boldness ;-who win stant
shoulder to shoulder with the gallan
Democracy of the North, and hell
them fgh! the great mental battle fol
freedom now in progress. Shoult
that choice fall upon LooNEY, OF
WmrrHoRSE, of Maury, or TnoMAs
, of HUMPHREYS, D. GORDON, of Hick
man, or our own Representative
BRAsnEAR. of Perry, I think l car
safely promise that the CONSERVATIVES
will rally around either of them to I
man: and in no event let ms have any
division in our ranks, but meet the
Radical party with lines unbroken
Your old frichds GHoI.srcN and
TRANrHAMy are hard at work, and
think they will have our new Court
House ready to hold Court in the ID
Monday in August. GHoLsToE has
had mighty bad ,dream lately, and
is very much exercised ins his mind
about it, and 1 think it will have 9
salutary effect upon his future vel.
fare. may in my next relate to you
his dream. / sm rather afraid to dc
it until he gets away from here, as
would somewhat rather have Tcnnes.
