COryel1 County.

In conversation with a very intelligent
gentleman who has long been resident Of
the above beautiful county, We gather a
few thoughts about the recent troubles up
there, which we deem worthy the attention
OF the people of this section of the State.
Unfortunately, about the county seat,
there has been two parties for several years;
the breach between them has been gradu-
ally widening, fed, on one side, by such acts
us have recently brought such obloquy upon
the county, and on the other side by a spirit
prompt to take advantage Of the opportuni
ties offered by the bad acts Of the other.
our informant is a farmer, and lives In one
of the best farming neighborhOods Of the
county, and is convinced that there Is a
widespread determination throughout the
county to be rid of the turbulent and law
less, who are doing, daily, a great injury Ia
the county He is also q firm friend of
Sheriff Raby, and says barring that officers
cholcric temper, he Ii good man and an
efficient officer, and is doing al he can To
re-establish law and order. We do hope
our sister county will become quiet again
and resume the wonderful career of progress
so rudey interrupted by these terrible broil'
which have, OF late, SO furnished her goOt
name.
