In our ivxuo ?.f February I'.'tli, we published an excellent niticle from a Texas Farmer to the /lomr unit Farm, mulct- tlie hea<l of 4 A Plea for Organization. The closing words of thin strong appeal to the farmers of the South were : l.et us be n? u band of brothers, work toI get her. reason together, buy what we need together, and sell what we produce together, and let us not mix />oh'tri or rr/tgiun with the orI gutiizatioti.' We gave the article our most cordial approbntion. and urged the necessity tor such organization, but opposed tin- political element that I many are attempting t-? infuse into Farmers Clubs in this State. in Mr. 11.11. Iliee u ( oiiitiuiiiieatioti, last week. ne closes by saying : 'The rose-colored idea of farmers clubs having not uing to do wiili politics i- so inconceivably absurd ami ridiculous, ami ?o ti ansparently the wish of those who nre not their friends, that no comment from nu i- required.' Mr. Ilice appears to arrogate to himself tlie sole championship of the fanners of this county, Mini evidently assume* that all who do not agree with him in the details of organization are not the friends of farmers or farmers clubs. Mr. Ilice, in as- lining ?u nuieh. weaken" his own position, for nearly foriv sears we have devoted our mean- and our bc-t judgment to the enlightenment of the agricultural cla?s of the State and the advancement of ev?*ry agricultural interest of the South, and we do not believe now that the farmer- <d I nion Hie willing to accept Mr. Ilice s assertion iliat we arc not their friend, merely because we cannot look upon the remedy for their ] resent ; i ievatu e< from hie political standpoint.

March 1.?Abe Thomson, the negro commuted to jail hero yesterday, for a felonious assault on Mrs. Lancaster, a highly ; respectable lady itving near Ulenn Springs, last Friday, was taken from prison this afternoon by a crowd of citi/.ens without disguises, and carried to a grove on Main street, about half a imle from the Courthouse, and hanged to the limb of a tree. Ilo was about twenty years old and of brutal passions. He assaulted a negro woman last week, bu: she being ?ory ; strong resisted him. He also attacked a white 1 woman on Friday, who escaped hiui. This was before he came across his unfortunate victim. Mrs. Lancaster is a highly esteemed woman, tho mother of two children, and about to become a mother again. While in jail Thomson | confessed to the crime, and when they carried | him out to the grove he was asked if he had j anything to say. -'Yes; I did the deed. I Jo : not know what made me do it. I iteservc to I he hanged (jive me a ltttlo time to pray.' 1 After praying awhile lie was swung up and left ; hanging. Several persons in the crowd were i drunk, hut the greater number were sober. ' Coroner F.vins held an inquest, lie took charge I of the body an I haJ it buried. The banging 1 took place at "> o'clock, and now at 7 the town j is as quiet as Sunday.

We cannot Cod language woug enough to condemn the inhuman practice of confining prisoners with tto means of warming themselves, especially in such severe weather as we have passed through this winter. Not a single room for the prisoners have even the protection of window rash. This is net right, and te urge upon the officer- whose duty it is to look after such matters to give immediate attention to this needed reform. I'OOIl lint-I . The Grand Jury by committee visited the poor house and find improvements made by the present Hoard of County Commissioners in the manner of dieting the inmates that greatly a Id to their comfort, and will certainly be tnore economical to the county. The houses are in good condition, with two exceptions, and the needed improvements will soon be male on thetn. In tire short time allotted to us it is impossible for us to ascertain how the funds paid into the different public offices stand, and it appears t' ns that a cash book should be kept by each public officer handling put lio funds, setting forth all moneys received and paid out; showing balance on hand, and if sail funds are to the credit of said officers in h.-wtk. litis would greatly facilitate a very important duty placed upon the grand jury. The Grand Jury bavins learne I from nasi experience that ninny of the improvements recommended by former juries have never bet;, carried into execution, have appointed tlio following committee to act in concert and urge the County Commissioners to carry into effect the needed repairs on the Court House, Jail, Jail and Court House yards, an 1 the Sheriff's.

I ted it out lowd to the o!c woman, and she enjoyed it mity. an' sais, JSi, if you I had gone tor colledgc y>u would a made h smart , man. but 1 think you will do as much or more ; good than them tellers what riles wid so much ! larniu an John lie brags on it mity an' suis J no man run condemn them sentiments, an' ho i uever liearn of any good man in town but what | brags on it ; nn' John said that cf a man did I not like it, then it would prove that lie was not . iu fur the rite, tif course, I knowd that some fellors what loves grog and hates the Lord's sarI vants would not ltko sich read in': but I don't ! mind that. I wants always now, and in that next world tcr be on the rite side, and 1 thinks that I will conic nearer ter it hv bein' on the side of the preachers and wiituuins than on the side of them little simliu-hcaded fellers what works fur whiskey, and runs down the wimtnitisand preachers. I.avvs-a-massy ! don't they stink ! Mistur I'.ditur, here's my sj,|e. 'sink or swim, live or die, survive or perish.' I am gwinc ! ter stand out wid the wimmins ami preachers : and wid tlic Lord, and cf I don't git lected here , to office 1 will be lectc l in the grate day. and J won t be on the side of them fellers what cusses pre:*clioi - n??l abuses wituniins far workin' agin whiskey. My wile is a woman. an.I one of the best ami M. was my dear < ! Christian nmtliri', ami upon my void I would not want ter own 'cm if they were not and had not been agin wltiv kev and all kinds of meanness. An' a preacher wliat would not work and lite agin whiskey aint no preacher of riteousti?ss, but he is a friend of the old sarpent. So, ' gcnllcmens of the bar.' dan t cuss tile preachers ca/e they has took an otli of aUcgenoe to the Lord to do his work, an' he coinuians theui to lite sin, even to ehieken titin, :m boss taeiti and all other kinds. I does hiite to ?ec one of these Mutlin-licadcd fellers stauitt around ttn savin' a preacher is a tncddliu. and he lias no tt?e ter him cf the preacher dares to conic down on whiskey. It shows how shaller be is. Mcddliu. eh! I.awsa-tnassv ! why, I would r.o? hav a tuatt fur my pUMtir what was on the whiskey aide, an what would not speak a^in it. 1 would ?end a pertition to ne\' Conference to keep that feller away t'rotu our church, fur he would ruin it. and 1 don't believe that there i- a church attvwhar what would have sich a feller in any denomination. Mistur Ivlituf, the day i- eomiii when the man what s.cl's whiskey will not bo respected. an' I 1ms hcarn it throwed up already about the chillerns of :i certain rich man that their daddy maid their money a sellen whiskey, and such people will put a bad mark what will be a disgrace on their chillern An' these fellers what talks twr whiskey is gwiuc ter be left out in this tin' the ties world, (lood, plain folks aint a gwitie ter keep their company. An they tells me in a big city now. bar-keepers families don t tlote wid the upper ten. but they is kinder looked down upon. I is mity sorry fur the poor fan ilies. ea/.e tliev can'* help themselves.

February - >.?The Interstate AgricuUur.il Convention, which has been in session at .lack>on, Tenn., since Wednesday, adjourned 'his evening. The following resold> tioit was adopted, with an anutelinent to ii>clu le brca lstulls and in>^ pro lucts as well as cotton : The manipulation by speculators of tlie cotton crop of Isswhich so deprc-sed prices that tliey iiave fallen below the actual cist of i>rvuuvuwiii lurces u; oa iiiu planters of the South the necessity of relieving themselves, its fur us in their power lies, from tlie influence of so ruinous it system ag tint which now coutrols tiie chief exportable product of the country, ami with this end in view the representatives of tlie agricultural interests of Tennessee, in convention assembled, call upon our brother planters of nil the Southern States to protect themselves hy united action. llmboMencd by past suecess>s, the speculator has lived the standard price for the cotton crop of l,Ss ;-'S7. This, he has done before the seed lias been put in the ground, or even the ploughs have been started. Cotton futures for llie months of October. November mill !>ccenibcr, ISS'l, ami January. l^>7, are to- lay quoted in New York at from 8.70 to S 7-*>, according to months. This means nut exceeding S j cents for middling cotton in New York, or Si cents at the principal shipping ports of the South, including such cities as New Orleans, t 'hurlestou. Savannah. Augusta. Mobile, tialveston and Memphis. Middling cotton aldose cities selling for s J cents means not uoie l.ian 7'. cents t? the planter, w ho must pay fieight, insurance and regular commission charges which generallyaverage fiom j to 1 cent per pound. Now, in. view of these conditions, so ruinous to our interests, we appeal to the intelligence of the cot tan-grower, ami n?.l; bun can he pay the expense of farming an t make even a bate living by selling cotton at 7-'- cents per pound? The answer is already given in tho negative. The next question following upon this is : What is .l. ' U- I?: I . plant otic-tliir.l loss co!ion and more grain ami grasses, ni-o lu gs and hominy, let cotton bo the surplus crop. instead of producing six ami a half million biles make only four ami a half' million bales. I?y tlYis means we n/.y realize a large price for our labor, ami at the sai.no time live independently en speculating sharks who profit by our losses. In addition to ibis, the Legislatures of each of tbu Southern Statoa should be petitioned t<> make dealings for future delivery, unless cotton is actually on hand to sell and is actually delivered to the contracting purchaser, a tolony punishable by fine and imprisonment, not less than one t ho list and dollars and two years in the penittmiiary. The time is now propitious for united action, and we appeal to the pres'c of the S..uth to aid us in our efforts hy giving every publicity to this protest, an appeal which we feel cannot hut result beneficially if prompt in action and lived up to honestly.
