"Genet a' Weaver, whi'e in command at
Pulaski, io January, 1844, issued an order
to Charles O. Abcrnftthy, John II. Nowhill,
Robert 1* 1> d-s and other*, that they pay
into his bauds $1 ,UtH) for the maintenance cr
refugee* (menniDg negroes and renegades
from Alabama.) This order was accompanied
by the tin cut that if the money nag nit
paid they and their families would bo sent
Houtb and tbeir property given to said refugees.
' All of those parties nre deal now,

for such a heartless wretch?
A man by the namo of C.AV. Witt sold Mr.
Jasper Cox, a very poor man, two thousand
pound* of bacon, for which ho received the
1. %l.. /'? .?*!# ilm lupnn in |||? cotton
mil's in Lawrence county and trailed it for
cotton twist. Tins lie carefully s'owed
a way in the loft of his little cabin, thinking
it would arsis! hint in purchasing a little
home after the war, us he was very poor,
with n large family, and had no home.
Weaver learned through some source that
this gentleman had the cotton twist and
sent a detachment of soldiers to his h >me
and took possession of it, and shipped it to
Iowa for his own use.
The cotton twist was worth at (he time it
w is stolen $'2,000.
Jasper Cox is living in Oiles county.
John 1*. Williams, a poor hut highly
icapcctcd farmer in Giles county, had
twenty five fat hogs, which at the time wore
wortli $10 per hundred, gins'1, and a lot of
turkeys. Weaver in person took a file of
soldiers into Williams' place und made the
soldiers shoot every hog on the place and
had thorn brought into camp When Wil"
~? drains asked for a vouchor Weaver "aid : *1
don't give rcbo'a in ttio Mouth vouchor <,
I would rather furnish rope ti Jiang every
d?n one of them." Mr. Wil'iems (s still
living and will sweer to (lie ahovo if ncces ary.
The hogs were valued a' $76".

Some of our people arc making up their J

so far as we know) passed off quietly. At
oiiic of the boxes in the county wo learn
ha' mine bad whiskey made its appearance
ind a few broken heads an 1 noses wore c?r:ied
home f r innocent wives, children and
listers to witness and sympathize with.
The late campaign will certainly go into
liistory as one full of venom and vituperalion.
Family and social circles have been
riven by its factional ettife. Fathers against

remit'. It is now lime that otir mucin od

We regret that brother E. W. J.. w.;s
crowded out lafct week. Wo waute I his
report of the Sunday tthool convention
The several correspondents of the Timks put
it upon the local (Santuc) correspondent to
write up the cou vent ion.
The North 1'aco'ct delegation joins us in
thanking the people of Santuc for the kindness
and hospitality extended us during our
short May with them.
Among others we made the acquaintance
of the versatile corrospon lent, E. W. J., ana
found him not so much of a lady's man as he
>\ou'cp h^ve our readers think he is. We
don't bclive he wants to marry at all.
l>r??i<Uot S'Okes never appeared to better
advantage, fte managed tho affairs of the
convention with the ability of a veteran par
liatuentarian throughout.
Apropos: In the official report of tho
proceedings of the Sunday school convention,
published last week, we want to call
attention to an error. In brother Miller's
text occurs "ten" instead cf u.c sma'l fishes.
This is atypegra- hical error, orolsoit proves
that "our devil" o*- the proof reader dou't
read the scriptures carefully. The name of
George Gault a'so should appear as Superintendent
of 1'inekncy township, instead of
George Going. Vox.

All Sorts of Ifsws from E W JSiXTVC,
Sept. 5.?The election is otor,
aud many of us hope that wo may be aMc*
to hear sometMog else through the papeis
than everything that cm be thought of that
is bad, even if false, copied and re-copied,
to paint some one worse than he is. 1 have
never seen such inconsistencies as h?v.
\>j me newspapers, tn prc'eading
1 hat it is bad to abuse while using vituperation
aud abuse at the same time. People are
getting tired of such, and Elitors must fill
their papers with somcthiug else, if tlu^p
wish to please the people.
1 am sorry to say that whiskey was
rather freely used at this placs ou the 30lh,
if not at Union, at this place, for one, I am
told it caused much bad behavior, cursing
and lighting. When will electioneering
tri ll wh-skey cease ? It has a most detnora
izing effect, and if the voters and people
generally will vote and use their influeuce
to defeat any and every candidate t^uA
electioneers with it, the* would
stop the practice, but would

There was a picnic here on the 2<1, and a
match game of ball, between the iSautucnnd
Whit mite teams. The score was 38 to 10
in favor of the Sanluc team. A goodly
uiimbcr of ladies from each place, was
in attendance, and they did much cheering
for their respective clubs.
Our "boys'' are becoiuiug good pliyers,
and deserved all the cheers they received.
The picnic was a succets, and all present
enjoyed it highly.
The County S. S. Convention, i?eld at this
place last week, was an enjoyable affair, for
tne, as all such are, and 1 learned much
therefrom. That was nil tight. Mr. Editor,
on your part, 111 withholding my report of
the proceedings, as toe Secretary was the
proper one to report theui ; but lie and
otliera requested me, asM was the resident
correspondent of the Timks, to report the
proceedings, which alono prompted me to
devote considerable trouble ami tiuio in
getting up the points, and put in shape.$ < A.
The event of events, for me, wis the x
meeting of the Union County liaptst Asso- >
ciation. with the West Springs church, ou ^
the 30th, 31st and Sept. 1st. I will i\ot
give any of the procevdings, as the minutes
when published will show to all who got
then. 1 wilt inertly say the suae ollic.rs
were re elcoted. Ail of the delegates were
prompt and attentive upon the business of
the Assoc alien.
Dr. T. M. Buley, Cor. Soc'y of the State
Mission Hoard, Kev. J. L. Vass, of the Con- 'H
nio Maxwe'l Orph mage, and Prof. G. 15,
Moore, ofFurmsu University, wore prcsjut
and lalkcd up their respective charges.
We were a-signeJ to Mr. Wm. Liulo, and
weto the recipients of the mo^t lavish kindheartedness
and genuine hospitality. Staying
within one milo of Glenn Springs, wo
could go up every evening, drink mineral
water, meet friends from Union, rest ourselves,
or walk over the town, and leisurely
walk ba ;k home, to find our animals feJ,
and supper resdy, then hitch up an 1 drive
to West Springs to enjoy a good sermon at
night. Ou Thursday morning, af.cr br?ikfast,
we drove over lo the gold lu'ties, sigt^
seciug. Many oi your readers niay^^
ahead of ine iu seeing the mines and
nuchiuery, but many have not seen them.
There was not much being done while we
were there?only prospecting, and not
much of the machinery was running. We
visited the largo double motion stc.un pump,
about ;{ i t'u mile from the ntinrs, Ilia; wt,s
forcing v?atcr through a 6 incli pipe, tu
supply the engines, unJ fir other uses. At
the miuos, ejector* was being put into the
shafts to draw off aecuiun ated water instead
of hoisting it. Wo entered a tunnel iu
which they were at work, but we would not
go fs>r. H'c then followed a so id rock on
to the cud, many feet uuler the ground.
It was ns dark us miJuirdtl in I'gvpt, nul wc
had to continue lighting matches to see,
Our bveathing would actually roar, and to
shout would cause a terrible roaring. We
failed to sec the s'amps at work, but we saw
much that wat extremely itveresting to us,
and felt more thau paid for our visit.
The church is ouly a short distance frorv.
the mineral apiing, and I could enjoy thai
water. I like West's better than Glouns.
