n The I'rook om Weaver.?The Pulaski | C Dcuioctut |iu'u iiii(a the iVilvrtiu^ leaf flvi'u L J. B. Weaver's war Record : "Genetat Weaver, wlti'e in command at Pulaski, io January, 1864, issued sn order R to Charles C. Abernftthy, John II. Newlidl, Robert lUti.des and others, that they pav into his hands $1,000 for the maintenance o* 1 refugee* (meaning negroes and renegades from Alabama.) This order was accompa- 5 uied by tho tin eat that if the money was mt paid they and their families would be sent South and tbeir property given to said refugees. 'All of these parties nre dead now, p, and were over CO years eld when that order wan issued. Cau any Southern man vote 0 for such a heartless wretch ? A man by tho name ofC. ?W. Witt sold Mr. p Jasper Cox, a very poor roan, two thousand pounds of bacon, for which he received the p cash. Mr. Cox took tho bacon to the cotton mil's in Lawrence county and traded it for n cotton twist. This he carefully s'owed away in the lofl of his little cabin, think- f ing it would assist hint in purchasing a little homo after the war, as lie was very poor, with a large f?uily, and had 110 home. Weaver learned through some source that this gentleman had the cotton twist nnd u sent a detachment of soldiers to his home and took possession of it, and shipped it to Iowa for his own use. j( The cotton twist was worth at the time it wis stolen $2,000. Jasper Cox is living in Giles county. John 1\ Williams, a peer but highly ( icepccted farmer in Giles county, had ? twenty live fat hogs, which at the time wore worth $10 per hundred, gross, and a lot of turkeys. Weaver in person took a file of , soldiers into Williams' place and made the ^ soldiers shoot every hog on the place and had thorn brought into camp When Wil? -tramsasked for a voucher Weaver said . ''I don't give rebe's in tho South vouchers, I would rather furnish rope to hang every i d?n one of them." Mr. NVil'iatns is still | living and will swear to the above if ucces- j ary. The lmgs were valued a' $760. The turkeys belonged to Mrs. Williams, and she begged to have them spared, but the I heartless wretch had them all kided nnd > takcti to headquarters for his own special ( use, temarkiug to Mrs. Williams that she had no business being the wife of a rebel. Weaver made a practice to charge our citizens 10 cents each for passes to come into ' aud go out of the federal line. Th's money he put into his own pockets. This pass reads as follows : Pans the bearer through the federal lines. "J. B. Weaver, t'Commandor." Trk Ciioleka Scare.?A great many people arc giviug themselves unnecessary trouble about cholera. The disease is only formidable when inadequate means exist for " *? '*> / V t-r-* - ? - J- i.. <l.ia onuni.rv We impure water supply is the primary cause of in origin in Asia. Dirt, ignorance and warm weather are the principal transmitters % of tho disease. In Madras and Calcutta, India, the writer has seen a large mortality from cholera among the poorer classes where unsanitary conditions prevailed, while immediately > around them European* and natives who | observed ordinary precautions in food and drink were wholly free from the disease. ' Boiling kills all cholera germs, and hence It is well, during a cholera epidemic, to use boiled water and toile 1 milk. Canned goods :\re also a safe diet at such time, if used at I once on opening, owing to tho boiling that , they receive in processing the cans when being packed, which otl'ectunlly sterilizes the contents. IN hile it may be well enough to quarantine the low c"ass of immigrants that have been reaching us from the infected districts in Kussia ami Cernienv. or shut tliam out Altogether lor a time, there is no sense in ( people being panic stricken here, any more Shan they have been in Franco and Spain, where the cholera lias prevailed more or less . '"1'he" vlsitlft^n" is fiKety to fcc :;ss serious j here froiu the fact that wo uro just entering thu cooler months of the'yur, when cholera germs naturally are comparatively harmless. I Consumption, dipthcria and typhoid t fever sve all likely to slay their thousands while cholera is elaying hundreds; but a because we are familiar with these diseases, we are not afraid of them. s Hundreds of children die in this citj* | every week from cholera infantum, superinduced by bad milk, but little thought is given to it.

In other words tlic Alliance lo members nfe naked to support tranche s of or Chicago aud New York establishments, con- ht trollfd l>y the owners of milFous of dollars. W hciher the goods sold to our farmers at co these branch store are much if any cheaper w than the same could bo bought from our home et merchants, is an open question, but the fact st remains, tlio profits at last go into the 11 already plethoric pockets of the millionaire ci bondholding capitalists, incorporated monopolies and ralroad companies who inaugu- a1 , rated the scheme. Ia short, tho plan thus ti adopted, un icr the fascinating plea of sell- d ing goods cheap to the Farmers, is but open ing another wiy to take cash out of tho r Southern States, while it concentrates our 11 f dependence upon a certain few outside capi- S ^talists and monopolies for what money and supplies we need, shutting out legitimate j * c impel it ion. ti It is but another horse hitched to tho team 9 9 that has been drawing the money out of the ( Southern Farmers' pockets and carrying it | p , to the rich money centers of the world, leaving us "poor indeed." Our Fanners have been selling their co'ton to specu'a'ors fit the speculators own prices and turning o>or tl?o cish to homo 5 merchants, to pay forsupplies furnished; but 1 the foreign m >nied speculators aro not sat" t isficcl with that. They "want the world, and th.it fenced in," ?n ihoy have not. only combined to buy all the cotton at their own price, but propose to give goods out of their ' Chicago and New York stores direct in exchange for it In that way the Southern harincu aro surreptitiously made tools to j build up and strengthen ihe very men nnsi i: fluenc s ihey accuse of being the cause of r their depressel condition and all the trouble Instead of being friendly with home mo>chauts and bus:ncis men, who naturally feel ^ a deep jnt,cre?t in their welfare, because they s are alnust entirely dependent upon the prosperity of the farming c'ass for support, and placing them between themselves and the soulless monopolies and monied tyrants, for protection, they prefer being led directly ? 4 - 4 L - : - f 4-* ?1. - a IUIU IIIU y%sij juu3 ui uiu uui uiui uuia uuu, with their uillion? of money have been able ? j. to put chose and control almost every indus- F try ai.il production that the Southern Far- t mer cannot or d cs not produce, but actually must have and must buy, thereby controlling 8 prices, totally destroying competition and ' crippling *.hose home friends who, though I few in number, pay their fi,U share of State, ?

While such has unfortunately, ^ been the teachings of politicians, we are as clear from such prafersnoes as a man can be, 1 and only desire is that a wholesome and just public sentiment may prevail for the peace, harmony and prosperity of the whole people. ^ JGrd If our farmers could get a fair price a for cotton this year they would be in bolter n financial condition tlion for years before. ^ Their crops have bee i made at much loss 0 outlay of money than any year since the war. They have been cr.oro economical in 1 homo and farm expenses, ppd have steered ^ as clear of debt as they possib'y cou'd, whiie P as a general thing they will have on hand a almost enough home raised supplies, for family and stock, to last them through next 01 year. a In some sections of the county, howover, D these conditions may not be so favorable, in i" consequence of adverse seasons, but the 1? aggregate production of corn, wheat, sir- Q ghura, oats, liny, etc., in this County, we are told, is sufficient for ilio wants of all; and here, in our opinion, should coine in the true beneficial work of the Alliance, for the social and financial advantage of the Farmers. st We were told before the election that it A was known how nearly every member of Tl (he Alliance would vote, and the result cor- jl roborated the statement. Now. why cannot Tl the same canvas be made to find out who lias to more corn, wheat, etc., than he will need ei next year, and on arrangement made through ri the Alliance to distribute the surplus among of J the less forlunuto members, nt certain pri- a ces, for eash, or on credit under proper a) security ? Or, what would more practl- ? , cable and satisfactory, perhaps, why riot put CI a fair price on those articles and let it ho wi known through the Alliance wlint Farmers Hi have I hem for sile, at those pricoss ? In that way the Alliance could ho made a in sourse of immense good to its poor or more L< unfortunate membcys we1! as open a homo market for the sale of corn and other home- d< ra sed supplies, thereby saving to the tar io mers themselves the costs of railroad freight, ou agents, commissions and many other expen- bu ses attending the purchase and sale of such supplies from the West, through Agents, inj Agents io many cases are noccssary evils; It. 1)111 iiifi'y AI'A tfAnAPallv nnn-r.KArla?.l ?r - pWMV.?.y ..V..

We regret to lesrn that Mr. Bobo Vnsscy died at Trough Shoals last week. Mr. LcRoy klcArtbur is quito unwell.* He has bad dumb chilli for soreral days. Some of our people arc making up their sugar cane crop. This is one of the most troublesome crops with which the average farmer bos to contend. Tbo scarcity of mills and other fixtures for manufacturing the ceneiuto molasses, is the greatest drawback to it* successful cultivation. T. M.

Tho poor end needy wero the special objects of her care and attention. ' None knew her bnt to love her" "None named her but to praise."

The late carapa-gn will certainly go into history as one full of vonom and vituperation. Family and social oirclos hnvo been riven by its factional strife. Fathers against sons, and brothers against brethren is the rcsui*. It is now time that our tnaohood should rise in its fullness above llnse petticoat conditions, and let the dead past bury its dead. We regret that brother K. IV. J., wus crowded out last week. Wo wantel his report of the Sunday school convention The several correspondents cf the Timks put it upon the local (Santuo) correspondent to wriie up the convention. The North Paco'ct delegation joins us in thanking the people of Snnluc for the kindness and hospitality extended us during our short stay with them.

On the day fo'lowing, a protiacted meeting waa brguq, whioh closed last night. Great interest wus manifested in the meeting and much good accomplished. Mr. Kelly assisted throughout the meeting, and preached many plain and practical sermons in an earnest and impressive manner. Our entire coa.m-.iniy was oharmed with hint, and predict that he will be a glowing light in his calling. Yesterday afternoon the ordinance of baptism was administered to Ave applicants. Cotton is opening rapidly, and some is being picked. The crop in this community has been greatly eut off by dry weather, and the present low price will make rocket change a scarce article with the farmer. There is an unusually large amount ol soij^lium harvested this year,' which indicates that the farmers are beginning to rea'Ua that one m ule of relief ia to raise all their suppling possible and live at home.

With unselfish interest 1 defended a good cause against the Assaults of its avowed enemies, and ngainst the mistakes of its pretended or real friends. In having done this (for which my vote, no doubt, suffered) ami being assured of the confidence of 934 good cilizeoe, with eight competitors in the field, and the good cause for which I fought, being abundantly sucoes-ful, though not myse'f elected, 1 have abundant satisfaction ; and 1 wish to assure the good people for whom 1 bays labored (bat 1 am as ready now as 1 have over been to do anything to advance their intere-ts. In all the battles through which I hovo fought I have had the pleas lire 01 seoing itie cause wlnoh 1 espoused victorious; and this being true, I feel abun dantly repaid for the labor and time expended.

Santuc, Sept. 6.~The election is over, sud many of us hope that wo may be ?Mo' to hear something else through the papcis than every thing that om be thought of that is bad, even if false, copied and re-opied. to paint some one worse than he is. 1 have never seen such inoonsistencies as have been displayed by the newspapers, in preloading that it is bad to abuse while using vituperation and abuse at the same time. People aro getting tired of such, and Editors must fill their papers with something else, if thejA wish to pleaso the people. I am sorry to eay that whiskey was rather freely used at this plaos on the 30th, if not at Union, at this place, for one, I aui told it caused much bad behavior, cursing and fighting. When will electioneering with whiskey ooase ? It has a most demoralising efloat, aud if the voters and people generally will vote and use their influence^ to defeat any and overy candidate tlmrt' electioneers with U, tijeg would stop the practice, but wouTtf" election of sober, oleat headed men to ot&ce.^ There was a pionio here on the 2d, and A . match game of ball, between the Santuc'and Whitmire teams. The score was 88 to 1G in favor of the Santuc team. A goodly number of ladios from each place, was in attendance, and they did rauoh cheering for their respective clubs. Our "boys" are becoming good pliyers, and deserved all the oheers they rcoeived. The picnic was a success, and all present enjoyed it highly. The County S. S. Convention, held at this place last week, was an enjoyable affair, for mo, as all such are, and 1 learned much therofrom. That was all tight, Mr. Editor, on your part, in withholding my report of the proceedings, as the Secretary was the proper one to report them; but ho and others requested me, as^I was the resident correspondent of the Timks, to report the proceedings, which alono prompted me to devote considerable trouble aud tiino in - v, -getting up the poiots, and put in shape. j The event of evonts, for me, was the meeting of the Union Coun'.y Baptist Asso- 4 ciution. with the West Springs church, on ^ the 30th, 31st and Sept. 1st.

Staying within one milo of Qlenn Springs, wo could go up every evening, drink mineral , water, meot frionda from Union, rest ourselves, or walk over the town, and leisurely walk baok home, to find our animals fed, , and supper ready, then hitch up anl drive to West Springs to enjoy a good eormon at I night. On Thursday morning, after break, fast, we drove over to the gold mines, seeing. Many ot your readers may lSe^ ! ahead of me in seeing tho initios and machinery, but many have not seen them, p Thero was not much being done while we were there?only prospocting, and not p much of the machinery was running.

At the mines, ejectors was being put into tho ' shafts to draw off accumn'ated water instead of hoisting it. Wo entered a tunnel in 1 which they were at work, but wo would not go fer. We then followed a solid rook on to the end, many feet under the ground. -1 It was os dark os midnight in Fgypt, and w?j had to continue lighting matches to seel Our breatliing would actually roar, and to ' shout, would cause a terrible roaring.
