From an Occasional Correspondent.l
JACKSON, June 5.-They had q fine
rain here last night. Crops are very
promising, especially the wheat crop. l
have heard of only one field where there
was any appearance Of rust, though there
may be Others. Fruit was killed more
in this than in any of the adjoining
counties. / cannot refrain from mem
tioning the Lancaster house at this place.
1t is one Of the best, if not the very best
house on the line of the Mississippi
Central road; and instead of having
only one train day to eat with them,
they should have at least two, and could
well accommodate and give satisfaction
to the passengers. Never was there q
better prospect for crops, and farmers
are in good spirits. Let confidence be
restored, and times will improve.

To the Editors OF the Appeal
RIPLEY, Miss, June 5.-YouF CORE
spOndent, writing from COrinth, June
lst, writes about matters upon which he
is badly posted. In his sllusion to the
case Of w. J. Pollard, he says that the
"eyidence against Pollard is purely cir
cumstantial, but, he learns, is Of the
most conclusive and satisfactory charsCs
ter" Now | should like to know where
the gentleman obtained all this valuable
information. l would also like to know
what he means by the most satisfactory
character. Ii he means to insinuate
that the evidence establishes the guilt of
MIR. Pollard, then he has "learnedn
something which is indeed new to this
community. The impression On my
mind Is that your correspondent is en-
deavOring to manufacture public opinion
to sustain a case, which the proof
fails to do, and that the "soft sawderu
offered the chancellor is too thin for the
occasion. Your COrinth correspondent
has carefully rolled up the Pollard case
in the Birmingham railroad and the
North Mississippi cotton manufsctOry,
and tied it with an abundant wheat crop.
Now, it is doubtless very interesting to
your readers to know of the good wheat
crop and the valuable improvements in
COrinth, but the real object of that letter
was not to impart that valuable infer
nation, but to manufacture, not cotton
yarns, but public opinion against Pollard.
The murder OF DR.. Carpenter Is shroudsd
In great mystery. Mr.. Pollard is q young
man Of unblemished character, and It
seems to be conceded by
all good men that an at
tempt to manufacture public opinion
against a person charged with murder
Is wrong, and ought to be condemned.
have right, as one Of the attorneys
for Mr. Pollard, to protest, and do pro-
test, against such attempts to bias the
public mind against the defendant.
Your correspondent had right to state
any facts within his knowledge, which
had been stated by any witness, but his
opinions as to what constitutes full proof
had better be withheld till after the trial.
