In most emphatic terms he denied the charge that the Alliance was opposed to any parti- j cular vocation, as charged by some, and paid a beautiful tribute to strict attention to business of all kinds.

It is very evident to us that the money latey borrowed by the authorities of the road trill be spent upon the main line from l>n. leasee to Indiana, nod the building of the \ugusta Division will be postponed until hat line is finished, and then it will depend upon how muoh of the money is left n the treasury of the road.

Santuc, Aug. 31.?To-day, I bad the pleasure of attendiag one of the most enjoyable picnic* of the season, that of the ** Pish Dam Alliance held in the beautiful "? grove in front of Mrs. Sartor'e residence. ? To ge straight to the substance the audience was called to order by Chairman, Rev. M. B. Kelly, and Dr. J. 1*. Thomas, of Santuc, P. A. was requested to open with 7?' prayer. tli< IJro Kqlly, in a short and interesting talk, introduced 8tate Lecturer, Hen. W. J. Tolbert, who made a very interesting speech. He made the aims and objeote of Pu the organisation both plain and satisfactory. th He said the Atlianeo was not, as some sap- W{ posed, organised to fight everybody but . truete, monopolist, rings, cliques, fto. c MerohanU, Doctors, Bankers, &o* baa ibeir " organizations, and they should not objeot to farmers doing so, and that they would, in the Alliauoe, ask "speoiat privileges" of m| none, but "equal rights te all; special privileges to none," is their motto. That the Alliance intend to have its own ex- in changes, not to fight others, but that the n, farmers are not able to feed them any ^ longer. Oue little farmer is like the goat ' on the horn of the ox, he will not be felt, but when all ef them get togethor they can si eat all the monopolists up. et He said a man, who to-day buys jute , bagging is bartering his principle for c money. Those mon who will not join now, but wait until they see whether it succeeds, reminds him of the young man who married a brave Western girl, and when a bear came into the house, the man got into the loft, and stayed until his wife killed the beast; ol be then came down, put his arms around t], her, and waltzing around the room said, . v*' Horns dav thev will ? "ain't we horses," but their ears are too ti long for horses' If we don't kill the bear ^ the first tussle, we may the second. Some object to it's being a secret order, but that .. is the strength of it ; for if not for secrets 1 ' our enemies would know whet wo were doing. His speech was just splendid and ai full of wise counsel. At the close of his speech the committee to arrange the table announced that a luncheon was prepared for brother Tolbert, who was compelled to 1' hurry oflf in order to take the up train. at After a recess of an hour or more, the n< audience was addressed by Dr. J. I*. Tbemas, who set forth plainly the cause of the poverty of the Southern people, and tu especially the farmers. He also gave a m remedy and said that he, and everyone ft elso who made an Alliance speech must follow in the line of Mr. Tolbert. As re! gards the dinner, it was the best arranged i*1 1 most ever saw. We of Santqo Alliance m felt very much at ease, for we were strictly the guests of Fish Dam Alliance, by special invitation, extended, and most highly ?pprcciated by us. <l In the afternoon the Alliance met in the hi School House, and all visitors of the same ? order was kindly invited in. There was not so verv i?any girls present, but they y, were of the prettiest and most attractive . quality; B. W. J, ? ?*' [Correspondence of the Untou Times.) h Votes from Cross Keys* Mr. Editor.?It has been some timo p since our last to you. and among other ? things our thoughts to-day are on our wel- * come weekly visitor, the Tim us. We are having fine woather for fodder ' pulling, and farmers generally are making I good use of it. Corn is not as good as ,) was thought it would be, on uooount of the (i heavy rains. Cotton, it favored with good seasons, will mnke in some instances, a '' good crop, bnt in some places only half a k crop. If no further disasters befall us we y, think there is a very good prospect for a ^ support. We hear farmers talking of sowing more P1 grain. This is a grand move toward inde- sc pundcnot and home comforts on the farm. "Hog and honnoy" ? wliaTT* nvocaaary. Cross Keys and Sedalia Alliances had a picnic at Padgett's Creek, Friday, 30th inst.
