A letter from a leading Republican OF
Alabama gives the following as the true
state Of the case: 1.-THE effort to defeat
the convention ia the expiring kick Of
pencerism in AIaba ma"
Thus far the registration in the county
Of Mobile, excepting that OF the eighth
ward, which is not yet reported by race,
stands 3345 whites and 3257 blacks. The
total vote st the last election was IL ,255,

From all we can learn there is but little
harmony among the Spencer men on
the convention question. The active
interference OF the little sutler against
the convention has aroused the suspicion
Of men who had before taken little i'll
tere5t in it.

in the land devoted to this important
crop, a. compared with previous years,
but the yield has generally been unugu-
ally good. The Talladega Reporter
enumeTates several crops in that county,
the average yieldsOf which reached
twenty bushels to the acre.
Florence Home Farm: The mystery
in which the disappearance Of Leather
wood hiss bsen shTOuded so long, has not
been explained by the investigation
lately conducted at Huntsville. Though
Psevey testified that the body found was
that Of LeatherWOod, and another mar |
shall swOre that the prisoners charged |
with the killing had made confessions |
their guilt, facts developed |
in the investigation show that the body |
is not that Of Leatherwood, and that the |
alleged confessions were extorted from |
the terrified prisoners by brute force, If, |
indeed, those confessions are not trump
Ell up, as such marshals have done be-
fore.
