who will spend the hot summer months
with us for their health. John, we wish
you could find it to your interest to re-

We regret to learn that Joseph Baker,
Esq, II prominent citizen ofthe southern

We hope soon to hear Of his recovery as
he is a man of strong constitution.

man and one for whom we feel a friend

things, ever tho "effices and affairs oflove,"
has just returned from a protracted trip
to Texas. He talks tluently, as he is well
able to do. and scnsibly about all he saw
and thought in going, staying and return-
ing. Like ourself he thought New Or

COMMUNICATED.

To Hon.. II. r. Moore, and other Senate
rial and Legislative aspirdnts:
Since YOU have announced yourselves
as candidates for State offices, we, a por-
ton of the citizens of Franklin county,
desire to respectfully insist that you give
an expression of your views on a question
of vital Importance to every voter In the
county. In fact, it is a question Of much
solicitude to every riShtly-thlnklnS man
in the whole State.
We mean the Railroad question.
We think we are right hen we assert
that the people have the right to demand
of every one who seeks to represent them
in a legislative capacity an expression on
this and every other subject Of a kindred
character. Therefore we ask you, through
our county paper, to give US your views
upon the subject of taxing the railroads,
and other incorpola tcd monopslles OF the
Are ,ov in favor Of amending the char
far of any railroad company so as 70 e1-
emDt il from State and county taxation
for auy longer period than the original
charter provided tor?
Are YOU in favor of such legislation as
will prevent the unjust and ruinous dis
cr,mipation made by railroad managers
against local or State freights in favor OF
treiuhts from distant States, or what they
are pleased to cali through freishts!
These most unquestionably Oppressive
engines are being used to promote inc IN

4th. Modify the whisky law, so as to
give all the privilege to manufacture

quantity or quality, fixing the price at
10 cents per gallon; allowing each
State the privilege Of selling within the
limits of the State exclusively. at a
price not exceeding 10 cents per gal

importation Of whisky from foreign
countries, and even from one State
ia another. Fer . violation OF the
foregoing inlict severe punishment by

influence OF whisky.
9th. Equal taxation, and a general
reduction of the same.
This is the platform or system OF
principles that l propose to shoulder

Clay, Webster or Calhoun, regardless
of every conceivable resistance.

The Grange had a picnic to-day, which
proved to be a very pleasant occasion. A
well-timed and admirable speech was de-
lived BY John Moffett. His style is
unique. his logic cogent. and wit Irritable,
In the afternoon he gave a reading from
Holmes, Of the one-horse Chaise, for the
entertainment of the young folks, which
almost convulsed the audience, both young
and old. .,,
Wheat generally tbreshed. Good yield
and excellent quality. The late refresh
ing rains have greatly improved tht
growing crops. 1t looks like the mouths
Of croakers ought to stop, SO far as thit
section is concerned.
The health Of this vicinity is unusually
good tor this season of the year.
The zeal and devotion Of the member:
or the Christian Church at this place !:
worthy of imitation. Every membeI
seems to work with a will, and If they
don't succeed in building up a good
Church, it won't be for want OF a lively

we suppose they will express themselves
from it. Our space is so limited that We
cannot exclude other matter in order to
publish the yiewsi in detail of all the cam
didates.
Another thing: We think the question
in regard to the next Senator is prema-
ture, and candidates ought to be left un-
trammeled. If we were a member OF the
Legislature we should endeavOr 10 vote for
the best and ablest man, and at the same

TEMPLES SOUTHERN PUMP.-Mr. ~.
Higgins, agent for this pump (adVertlsed
in our paper has been with us a DAY or

purpose Of selling. We take pleasure m
recommending the pump. We have

Just as nicely as any one could wish. The
pump is suited for wells Of any depth up
to 100 feet-hss a bucket chamber enam-
cled with porcelain, which presents a hard,
smooth surface to the leather packing OIL
the plunger. This, the most desirable I'M
proyement in wooden pumps ever invent
ed, increases their durability ten fold
while its smooth, CLASSY surface dlmln-
ishes the friction of the plunger, prevents
the wear of the packing, and renders tne
operation Of pumping much easier. W.

be easily repaired. 1t certainly is asplen-
