JACKSON HALL, January 81, 1878.
DEAR WMG:-Should any of your read
ers have occasion to ride through Turkey
town on horseback, let him dismount be-
fore he reaches the town and lead his horse,
for it is dangerous place for equest,ians.
You will remember the accident to Mr..
Pennock lately, by the falling of his beast,
close on the heels of which accident, on
Friday night last, Mr.. Job Taylor miller
had his shoulder dislocated by the falling
of his horse, few feet from the store. DR..
Carter was summoned, who, by the aid of
those present. adjusted the injured men,

of this old metropolis, were it not for the

is kept or used in or about the place.
hope our member in Cong ress may see
this letter. that he ma know how to vote
when the Brazil steamship subsidy ques-
ton comes up; for it was argued in the
Jackson debating club, on Thursday night,
and decided in the negative. No more

rooted prejudice existing against govern
ment aid in such enterprises it is only nee
eSsary to state that one of the honorable
committee which rendered this grave de-
cision was not in his place till after the
principal part of the discussion was over,
yet he was fully prepared to decide the
question, as indeed he would have been

member of the jury sleep during the
progress of an important trial, so soundly

bar could not wake him; he had doubtless
formed an opinion at first and evidence and
argument have no effect in such a case; he
might as well sleep as listen. These men

there will be good Sunday night after

to you it may be fresh to others.
The excitement, growing out of friend
McAlisters bonanza, is beginning to sub
side: number of visitors still throng the
digging, but the proprietor has become dis
couraged and has abandoned the pursuit of
the glittering phantom. The excavations
he made are a monument of his persever-
auce. His failure to realize his golden

see man expeud SO much work for moth

gather gold mostly from the surface of the
earth, and who are obliged to deny them
selves of many of the comforts and all the
Injuries of life in order to swell the accu-
mutations of task masters who lord it over
the free men of this land as if they were
slaves. Let the men of income have their
day, it will soon be past, and then the
workers will have theirs. When the day

remedy within our reach. The expressions
which drove our fathers into revolt against
the mother country were nothing in COM

suffering from the yoke Of the money
power. Thanks to our sires, they left us
a feasible remedy which the tyrants cannot
destroy and have not got gold enough to

who make and execute the laws in the in

they dishonor, and fill them with the repre-
