Correspondence of the Union and American.
PULASKI, April 6.-Our farmers are now
having their prayers for days fl! to labor
answered, and are vigorously preparing to
'.make hay while the sun Shines Unless
some unforeseen misfortune comes upon US,
Giles will step another round higher this
year on the list Of agricultural counties. L
dare say as many farmers and gardeners
papers are taken and read in this as in any
county of the State, according to the pOpu-
latiOn. We have always had bold farmers,
and now their intelligence is beginning to
keep pace with their boldneSs. No element
of all our populatiOnpromiseS half so much,
If the Granger movement does not get out
of its proper channel.
OUR CIRCUIT COURT
is illustrating the principle of reaction, and
is dragging its length slowly along. Two
days have already been spent on a damage
suit against the railroad company for kill
Ing a man named Hill, and two days more
will be spent ON it. In the course of this
case one of our most distinguished lawyers
and a gentleman who has worn the ermine
asked a witness-a saloon keeper-where
his house was. The look of surprise at
such a question from so good and regular a
customer, evidently showed that the wit
ness thought it the most unnecessary ques-
ton he had ever heard. The day for the
rising and the falling of the curtain, in the
final scene in the life of
PRoGUE BRYANT
is fast approaching. The question is being
,.T-.l ov-,vr- la- hoe Indna Hrirr haan
heard from on the habeaS corpus petition.
Much interest is felt in the result, for upon
il depends the question, can and will the
Federal Court assume jurisdiction on cases
coming within the sphere Of the State court
of final resort, and when that court has de-
cided upon the very question presented to
the Federal Court. If Judge Trigg should
grant the petition, would it not be a
CLASH OF JURISDICTION,
and bring about an unnecessary complica-
ton of legal questions? But the lawyers
who presented the petition are men of abil-
ity, and doubtless have discussed these
points.
Had a stranger come to our town on
Wednesday after the daily papers were re-
ceived, he would have concluded several
scores of our people had just lost near rela-
tives, judging from the sad countenances
resulting from being the owners Of blanks
in the
LOUISVILLE DRAWING.
Tuesday morning there were over an
hundred men and not a few ladies here
Boosting Of certain release from toll and
unceasing care. Wednesday evening no
one could be found who had ever dreamed
of sudden riches. Sic transit gloria green
backs.
The Rev. DR.. Mack, of Columbia, has
been conducting a protracted meeting i
DR.. DuBOse's church since the adjourn
ment of the Presbytery. The sinners OF
Pulaski seem to have obdurate hearts.
THE THIRD LECTURE
under the auspices of the Pulaski Lyceum,
was delivered by John A. TinnOn, Esq, on
Friday night. He is a man Of expansive
mind and a heart as tender as his in
tellect is broad, and feeling a sym
patty for people who are scared by the
lightning progress Of science and the
manner in which old theories are being ex-
ploded and shelved. He endeayored to
show that there is no danger. The history
of the world is but an account of fossils
doctrines that once were cherished but are
now buried beneath the surface of the
world of mind as deep as the fossils of the
primary periods of creation lie down Inc
the surface of the earth. And in spite
of this fossilizing tendency of time, the
world moves on and we are as happy as
were the people who lived when Calico
was caused to recant. The lecture was not
as well attended as it should have been.
