requisite attention. Agriculture as

HOLLY SPRINGS, Jan. % Your

he fac,s in the Brittenum case.
There was no question of contempt
involved in it. Mr.. Brittenum was
uniformly courteous and respectful
TO the Court. He was imprisoned
for refusing to testify before the
grand jury. TIE law is PLAN and
unequivccal, and Jud &c Watson had
no alternative. Judge Watson's
course.was and is approved by every
law>abiding citiZrn of Holly Springs
and the entire Bar. If there was
any indignation, 1T was on the part
of those who are ignorant of the
law or those for whose sins Nj.
Britrennm was suffering. The state
ment that tleie WIS any arbitrary
or pr. judire.l rulings ia the case, is
wholly Without foundation. MIR.
