~ A. private letter from one of the
leading citizens of Hancock county, and
a man who is personally acquainted with
every person in the county, tells US that
Mcfarland will certainly carry that
county over Randolph by a handsome
majority. The gentleman who writes
us this letter has taken pains to find out
the temper of his people, and he knows
whereof he speaks The Hancockers
are not going for g Collins Ram" this
time, but mean to stand square up to
Mcfarland. 70

IngersOn and Taylor in Rogers
Vile.


On Friday, the 18th, these gentlemen
spoke to the people of Hawkins county,
at Rogersville. Mr. Taylor spoke first
He is a young man of the fiowery, sky
scraping, hifalutin order The principal
pointhe made-or, rather, seemed to be
trying to make-was that the Southern
people were set of traitors and scoun-
drels, unworthy of trust, and dangerous
enemies Of the Government. He grab
bled down into a thousand graveyards
andfceted ouf5lnge piles of dead mems
bones and scargoes of rotten meat. He
shook the bloody garment" lhe was too
modest to say sttrt,J and-showed- all the
blood and nastiness upon it to everybo-
dy. Ia fact. he tried hard to stir up the
passions and hatreds of the war, and
closed his speech By appealing to the
Union men Df East Tennessee to once
more unite themselves together in a sol
id column.

g s. ID. Brooks, Esq, who was
sometime ago nominated as the Demo
cratic candidate to represent Hawkins
county in the next Legislature, was in
town last Friday, looking cheerful and
full of hope. His success is looked upon
as certain Mr.. Brooks is farmer, a
man of sound good sense, a man of in
corruptible honesty, sober, quiet, firm.
and always and everywhere reliable. In
the Legislature he will do his whole du-
ty and will make old Hawkine an excel
lent Representative. If we can only
have a majority of such men as Stokely
ID. Brooks in the next General Assembly
we may reasonably hope for some health
full and economical legislation.

gE The prosperity of the RogersviIle
Female College for the present session
has surpassed our expectation. Money
was and is exceedingly scarce, but the
people, feeling the importance of educat-
ing their daughters, have managed in
some way to raise the means to send a
goodly number of them here, and the
present session. now promises to be al
most equal to the last in point of mum
bers. The management of the institu-
ton in all its departments is admirable
Everything moves on there as quietly as
in a well-regulated family, without jar
or jostle, and the girls are learning splen-
didly. Prof. Wilson unquestionably
knows how to " keep school, while Mr..
KidwelI, in the boarding department, is
eqnally success. The school is on a
firm foundation now and is obliged to
prosper.

forward you copy of the letter to which

ferred to the United States Attorney for
the Eastern District of Tennessee, who
reported January 9th, 1870, unfavorably
as regards granting the request of your
letter. The general subject has also
been referred to the Commissioner OF
Internal Revenue; and ms opinion is
upon file in this Department, that it is
inexpedient, and would be disastrous to
the collection of the revenue, if the gen
eral pardon asked for should be granted.

CLOSING riIE TRIAL

Yesterday. in the Dabcoek trial at st.
Louis. Judge Porter. one Of counsel for
defendant submitted n motion not novel
nor unexpected. He carefully reviewed
all the evidence submitted by both sides
to the jury. and then asksd the court to
instruct the jury TO render q verdict for
defendant. This Is not unusual practice
In United States courts. and although in
this case the court refused to grant the
motion, n similar custom often obtains.
In many cases where the evidence against
an accused party is notably incompetent
and insufficient. the court takes the
whole matter from the jury and directs
them that they must find n verdict for
defendant. This Was sought to be nc
couplished in this case by Babcock's
counsel. While IL may. and doubtless
does, 60 to show that the defense have
very strong hopes Of Babcock's aequit.
