ORANGES AND FARMERS CLUBs.-At q
meeting of the King George Farmers Club,
on the 3Oth Of April, the following views were
expressed while discussing the question, what
means of cooperation among farmers shall best
promote their interest:
Col. Toy!oe and H. B. Lewis espoused the
cause of Farmers Clubs as more beneficial than
the Oranges now being organized, and super
sedipg clubs. They contended that both are
not likely to exist together, and that it is bet-
ter to preserve the clubs than to substitute
Oranges for them; that in their opinion the
last organization was less beneficial to the cause
of agriculture; that a club 10 40 adjoining ooun!
ty had been swallowed, and ours threatened
with like fate. At least let Us be warned and
not act hastily.
Major Rogers deprecated auy action where
by our fourishiug club would be envlroned by
the Patrons of Husbandry.' He could not
see why clubs aod oranges may not co operate
harmonously in the promotion OF comhoo
cause, and was very sure when Messrs Iayloe
aud Lewis became good grangers they, too,
would conclude that both we're alike Interested
He read extracts from the able addresses IN
the April uumber of the Farmers Planter. BY
Messrs. r. e. Gaines, Chalmers and Lewelien,
fully answering any objection to the lnttoduc-
'ou vi lauteS, secrecy auu Als poittlCoi lChoSuot
Dr. Robb regretted the introduction of, this
subject and objected to it as influencing the
minds Of members who propose to join grasges.
Hc saw no conflict between them, and believed
that they might cooperate. He had no desire
to join one, and personally he preferred the
continual existence Of this club. !, r.,a.j! + ).
MIR. +. Lewis and other members expressed
similar opinions with Dr.. b, but there was
unanimous devotion Of fidelity to the CLUB, aud
determination to adhere to it,' come what may.
The discussion elicited warm declarations of
devotion to it, and earnest wishes for Its long
existence - Fredericksburg Star.

GENERAL REMARKS.
We are devoting all our en-
ergies TO build up Female
school of the highest grade, and
confidently expect such patron
age as will indicate an appreci-
alton of our efforts. Others
will be added to the corps of
teachers as the number Of pu-
pills increases. Let the people
of Fayetteville and all who are
interested in the success of the
a cademy lend usa helping hand.
No teacher can build up a school
without the aid of the commu-.
nifty in which he labors. Our
last yearly attendance was eigh-
ty- five; if former patrons and
all who are interested in the
welfare Of our Institution will.
but exert themselves, our next
yearly number will be double
the last. In conclusion, We call
attention to the following dis
tinguishing features Of this In
stitution:
lit is thoroughly graded
school.
2-The prominence given to
English Composition, which is
SO often utterly neglected.
1.-The uniformity of its
Text Books andCourse of Study.
1.-The Elementary branches
must be thoroughly mastered
before pupils can be promoted
to more advanced classes.

6. That we denounce all legisla-
ton that seeks to Interfere with
the individual right of the citizen
to select bis own associates, and
particularly what is known as the
supplementary civil rights bill
pending before the Federal Con-
gress, as a paIpable violation of the
Constitution, intended to vex, hsr-
rass, Cypress and degrade the peo-
pie of the Southern States, and
productive of untold social and po-
litical evils to both races, and
which we would resist by all le-
gal and constitutional means in
eur power.
A resolution was adopted over
whelmingly endorsing Browns ad,
ministration.
Ballotting began at 4::30 p. N.
end continued, with intermission
for supper, until IL As. Morgan,
Fife, Netherland, Porter, Thomas,
Ensley, Burns, Wright, Key, Marks,
and Ken were nominated. The
total vote Cd basis of one to one
hundred was 945. Ensley was
withdrawn on the fifth ballot, and
Wright on the sixth. On the
tenth ballot Jas. +. Bailey, of
Montgomery,was nominated. On
the eleventh Marks was with
drawn. On the fourteenth ballot
all were withdrawn but Porter
and Bailey, when the vote stood,
Porter $50, Bailey $50 necessary
to a choice, 632. Then Bailey
was withdrawn, and Porter nomi
mated amid the widest enthusiasm,
unanimously by reclamation.
Speeches were made by Porter,
Harris, Landon @. Haynes, Atkins,
aud others. The best of feeling
prevailed and all prophesied GER
tain victory for the ticket, and
judging from the feeling manifes,
ted, Porter is next Governor by
$4,000 majority or more.

The representatives of the Dem.

Tennessee, in Convention assem-
bled, most cordially invite all
good and true men who desire TO
increase the prosperity of the
State, and preserve her henor un-
furnished, TO unite with us in car
rying out the following principles,
TO wit j:
l. That all honest labor should
BE protected, and receive its just
reward.
2. That the burdens of govern
ment should be borne by the whole
property of the country; that all
assessments of taxes should be e.
quail, uniform and just, and no
improper discrimination should be
made against any species Of prop
erty.
8. That we favor a strict con.
struction of the Constitution of the
United States; and insist that NO
power should be exercised by the
General Government that is not
clearly delegated, or clearly i'm
piled in the necessary exercise Of
the powers SO delegated.
4. That we oppose all monopo-
lies, rings and combinations formed
for the oppression of the people (;
that we are for the abolition OF all
useless and unnecessary Offices
fer the proper reduction OF all ex-
cessive salaries for the most rigid
economy in the administration of
the State government; for ell nec-
essary reforms in law, SO as to
make its execution speedy, just
and certain that we hold the COL
lectors of revenue to a strict &C
countability in the collection and
application of said revenue, that
we deplore the Indebtedness, Fed
eral, State, county and municipal,
and demand that no more taxes
shall be laid upon the people than
shall be found to be essentially
necessary for the support of the
State government, administered
On principles of the most rigid e.
economy, and for the payment of

the preservation of its credit and

De The following paragraph
from the Union and american
Expresses our own views so fair
ly, that we copy it. Chancel-
lor Marks may well be congrat-
ulated at the vote cast for him
in the Convention. His name
was presented for the Office of
Governor without his aid or
procurement-indeed, he did
not consent to the use of his
name in that connection-yet,
he polled a higher number of
votes than any candidate named,
except Judge Porter. While
it would crafty us to see him
Governor of Tennessee, we are
gratified to know that he re-
mains Chancellor of this dis
trict:
CHANCELLOR A. S. MARKs.-
The distinguished gentleman
whose name heads this article,
received a highly complimenta-
~ vote for Governor in the late
convention. Any citizen of the
State would have been proud
of the vote cast for him, and
more particularly is it a source
of congratulation that his sup
port came mainly from the
counties composing, and the
counties nearest to, his large
Chancery Division. With but
one exception, he received the
vote Of every county in that
Division. There is no better or
truer man than Chancellor
Marks, and we say, without dis
paragement to others, that while
the State lost the opportunity
of making him Governor, the
people Of his Chanccry Divis-
ion have cause to rejoice that
they did not lose Chancellor
who is not surpassed in merit
or reputation by any officer
wearing the judicial ermine in
Tennessee.

require a thorough mastery of

Ity of three or four teachers,

arranged. If we are to take
notes for our labor, security and
10 per cent. interest will be re-
quired. No departure from these
terms will be made in favor of
any one. Remember, friends,
the success of an institution Of
learning depends upon money,
as well as the efforts of those
who have it in charge. Those
who wish to patronize the A
cademy, and have not the cash,
can do so by depositing with
DR.. G. A. Diemer, the Presi-
dent of the Board of Trustees,
his note with approved security
for the full tuition. If serious
or protracted illness occurs, on
the part Of either teacher or pu-
pill, DR.. Diemer is authorized to
credit the note with the amount
of lost time. There can be no
objection urged against this ar
rangement. Arigid observance
of this rule is absolutely neces-
sary, in order to preserve fnan-
cial security. Our ability to
meet our contracts depends en-
tirely upon the fulfllment of
the contract on the part of each
patron.
