Gloomy thoughts tilled my mind for a minute, and I could almost see stars before my eyes. The alarm was noticeable upon my countenance, and Uncle Isham consoled me by saying that if old Beck should happen to get frightened and jump headlong off the bridge, that there was not any one to greive after me. Realizing that he was correct, I placed my foot in ms hand and leaped into the saddle with almost the grace of an Indian prin cess, Pochahontas, perhaps. We were soo on our way over the roadn up the lane, through the large plantation gate, down through the corn in the flat near the house, then through another gate, which brought us out into the woods where his tenants are settled. They live in good, comfortable log houses; each fam ily has a separate house to themselves, where they have their gardens and chick ens and horse lots, and springs and wash tubs. They furnish and reed the labor and work on halves. Mr. McMahon told me that he always furnishes his hands, if it was necessary, and reserved the right to boss the fertilizing, planting, cultivating and gathering of all the crops on his place. He uses compost and phosphate. Old Mrs. Shadrack is a remarkable lady. She is eighty-odd years of age and can see and hear as well as a girl. She had just scoured her house all over herself, she said because she did not want to pay to have it done. I was told that she has money out at interest, and has a plantation containing six huudred acres. Her example is worthy of imitation. As we returned home we crossed High Log creek and rode up through the beaver pond field. As we rode along Uncle Isham entertained us by telling us about the fun he used to have catching the beavers and tearing down the dams that they would build, strong enough for cows to walk across. He also delighted in chasing the deer, fox and wild turkeys that inhabited these woods. , He showed me land that is now in a high state of cultivation that he had cleared over forty years ago. On his brag spots he will make from thirty to forty bushels of corn to the acre, and a bale of cotton to every one and three-fourths to two acres. There are 800 acres in this plantation, 300 of which is a pasture for his cattle and £ast Saturday we attended a colored .Sunday school convention in the neigh borhood. We arrived there about 1 o’clock. There were little tables scattered around under the trees, spread with con fectioneries for sale for the benefit of the sohool. There was a long table complete ly covered with black seed, red-pulped watermelons cut in fancy shapes. It con- ipating any political excitement until the convention meets at LaFayette. Talla poosa was almost the only county in the district whose county convention passed off harmonious and had no independents in the field for county offices, which, we think, entitles her to the nomination, espe cially as she has offered two of her sons who are the peers of any man in the dis trict—men of fine legal ability and literary culture. We are now having some warm dry weather, and if it continues much longer will injure the crop prospect, whieh is now very flattering, the upland corn crop, however, is about made, and it is thought to be the best made in the county for years. The prospect for a cotton crop is very flattering at this time, but a good season would be very acceptable now and would greatly increase the prospect. Cotton is about two weeks later in this section. The hay season is now on hand and large quantities of it is being saved. If agreeable, more anon. HQT AND STILL HEATING.

Hatchechcbbee, Ala., August 16.— Judging from your liberal character and extended circulation, you will not object se.iously to a little salad from any point where you have a number of admiring sub scribers. By way of introduction, I will say—as it seems not to have been men tioned by any one before during this he uted term—that it is hot. I say this at the risk of its being called an innovation, or at the risk of being mobbed for infringing or usurping. The thermometer registers here to-day at 10 a. m. 97, and is still on a “tare,” and there is no telling where it will stop. Some of the crops are begin ning to wilt and to suffer from this scorch ing sirocco, and unless they get rain in a few days will suffer seriously. It is the opinion already of some of the best farmers that the cotton crop will be short in this section. The continued rains in the early part of the season drowned out a quantity of the bottom lands so that they could not be worked to any advan tage (and some of them not at all, aud are a perfect loss) until late, therefore can’t hope for a full crop on them; and now the high lands, in many instances, are falling back, seemingly from exhaustion. It is a fact that the caterpillars are getting to be numerous below here.

Seale, Ala., August 16.—It lias been so warm for the past few days that your item- izer has been unable to stir about as much as usual, hence the scarcity of the “salad."

At thu last practice shooting of the club hero A. B. Waddell broke 18 out of a possible 20; li. W. Waddell made the next best record, breaking 17 hulls. The average for the en tire club was 10 4-7. Your club will have to heat this record to win. A largo crowd from here will go up to witness tho shoot ing. To both clubs I give Doc Bradley’s advice, “hold your gun on ’em if you want to break’em.” I will also usk the Beale club to keep cool, but I don’t see how they will manage to do this except they be able to break all the thermometers iu town with stray shot. Messrs. Harry Hall, Cap Swift, Henry Battle and Eugene Cranberry and ludy, all Columbusites, spent Sunday here. I (Mrs. Dawson and Miss Boykin, of near Uchee, are visiting the family of Judge O’Neal. Dr. I. P. Cheney was unable to protract his meeting at the Baptist church this week, as he was unable to procure the necessary ministerial assistance. Besides t||iB, the weather is most too warm for a meeting of this kind now. Miss Beulah Dawson, of Uchee, who has been the guest of the Misses Brinson in Longview, returned home yesterday. Col. A. G. Daniel, of Charlotte, N. C., spent Saturday aud Sunday with relatives here. In company with Major Hart Perry and Mr. S. A. Tune I left on the morning train yesterday for Hatchechubbee, where a £ retracted meeting is in progress at the iethodist church. The services are being conducted by Rev. D. C. Crook, pastor, assisted by Rev. Mr. Capps. The meeting will probbbly continue several weeks. Mr. Tune and myself were the guests of that prince of good fellows, Charley Tail- man, and his beautiful and accomplished young wife. Charley has a beautiful home, elegantly furnished and supplied with all the modern conveniences and comforts. He and his good lady certainly know how to entertain their friends. Hatchechubbee is a nice little town, aud exhibits many evidences of prosperity. A neat Methodist church has been recently constructed, and a live and energetic com mittee are now at work to build a Baptist church, which will be done this fall. Col. J. F. Tate, an accomplished educa tor, has been elected principal of the Hatchechubbee high school, the fall term of which will commence on the 20th of this mouth. The indications are that Col. Tate will have a fine school. A gentleman remarked to the scribe, “ I notice that the reporters of the Enquirer- Sun have been bragging about the crops in some sectious of Russell county. I have just returned from a trip down on the Cowikee creek, where I saw the best crop, I believe, in the county. It is that of Mr. James Upshaw. He runs seventeen plows and will make fifteen bales of cotton to the plow and twenty-five bushels of corn to the acre. This estimate is a safe one, as it was made by competent judges, Capt. E. C. Perry, of Glenville, and Capt. Cole, of Spring Hill. Please write this to your pu- per.” I have complied with the request with pleasure. .Murriaar of a Kailroail Mao.

Gbuies, Sec’y and Treaa. ymMi New York, August 16.—Mr. C. P. Hunt ington was found by your corresponoen to-day -it ins beautiful country residence a Tnroggs Nuuk, and his attention called t the sioiy that he had mi especial interest i in seeing northern Mexico annexed by the United Buttes. Air. Huntington expressed his willingness to give his host information on the subject. “I( is alleged,” your correspondent be gan, “the owners of land in northern Mcx- 100—Americans, English and others aru conspiring to bring about a war between Mexico and the United States with a view of having that territory annexed to tills country.” “I know nothing of it,” said Mr. Hunt ington. “1 am one of those that don't be lieve in any such tiling. There are a good many hard and desperate people on the border who may, and no doubt do, WISH FOR TROUBLE. There are some speculating Americans there who would not object to u tight, having little or nothing to lose and some- tiling, they think, to gain—much as a man hopes the sky wouid fall that he might catch lurks. But my impression, based upon reliable information, is that the | Mexicans, the men of standing, do not desire any such tiling. As for the United States, we hav e territory enough to take care of without coveting that of other nations.” “You are interested in Mexican lands?” “Yes; we have considerable lands there; hut 1 am personally acquantid with Presi dent Diaz, and I know Hint in regard to t he present trouble he will do what is right. He is reforming that country. Nobody could do hotter Ilian ho is doing, and al though it will take a long time and much effort and hard work to educate thu Mexi cans, he will accomplish it. His mind is bent on it. When he resumed power this last time there wasn't a dollar in the treas ury and chaos reigned supreme, hut under his conservative and judicious administra tion affairs are gradually improving. One of my agents in Mexico, who has been there twenty-six years, a most intelligent and observant ninn, tells me Hint t he im provement Is very noticeable.” “Whore is your latest land purchase lo cated—said to be $000,600 worth ?” “Not su much. Tiie Pacific Improve ment company, of which I am a director, purchased the Solidail estate, consisting of about 230,000 acres for $-100,060 from Gen. Naranjo. .The property is located in the Sabinas valley through which runs the Sabinas river, in the state of Coahuila. The International railroad of Mexico, of which I am thu president, runs nearly through the middle of tiie valley, striking the Sabinas river about seventy miles from tiie Rio Grande and extending from Pie- dras Negras to Bastangua. it is 190 miles long—170 fully equipped and twenty graded.” “From the blustering and bravado of the Mexicans at Paso del Norte, aud the offen sive opposition they offer to American in tercession in behalf of Cutting, it would seem that they reckou upon aid from some quarter it a struggle should eventuate.” “My dear sir. three-quarters of the stuff' that’s printed about this Cutting mutter is unworthy of consideration. I am well aware that there is A STRONG PREJUDICE existing among Mexicans on the border against a certain class of Mexicans—those marauders—and vice versa the feeling is reciprocated.” “What advantage could Mexican laud owners hope to acquire through a war?” “I really don’t know. I can’t see that it would be any advantage. We bought lands under tiie Mexican laws, and whether a shifting of the border line would enhance their valae or not 1 am unable to say; nor has the question been discussed or enter tained liy ns. We are content to hold it under Mexican laws. I think if this gov ernment would give Mexico a little moral support it would make things easier on both sides.” “Do you know the feeling among the English holders of Mexican lands?” “I have no means of knowing, but the chances are that from their political stand point they would prefer to hold under Mexican laws, and hence I cannot see why they should favor a war with the United States. We have had some difficulties with the Mexicali customs authorities and have been obliged to pay excessive charges, hut when we applied to their higher courts for adjudication we always received fair treatment. I have as much confidence in the high Mexican courts as I have in tiie American courts, perhaps a little more. Their magistrates and other lower courts are undeserving confidence—much like ours.” “Is it true that the railroad employes in Mexico have been SUPPLIED WITH ARMS to resist the Mexicans?” “I can speak for our men on the inter national railroad. Our agent informs me that the men asked for arms to defend the property in case of trouble. My reply to him was that the matter in dispute—re lating to Cutting and Itasures—was to lie settled by the two governments and that the question of defending the property would not be further entertained at pres ent.” “Was your purchase in the Sabinas val ley made conditionally—contingent upon war, or continued peace?” “No. There seems to he a wrong im pression abroad about the Mexicans; bor der rowdyism, or better, ruffianism, un fortunately finds champions who spread broadcast lying reports showing the total depravity of the Mexican and extolling the virtue of the fellows on this side. Why, in Mexico we havej hud less trouble than anvwhere else, in any way that we can utilize a Mexican we do il, and give him the preference in Mexico to an American. We keep on good terms with tiie people and our rights are recognized. A great many of our people believe that others have not as much right as they and that’s the source of most of our trouble.” buyers; A Sc ill einlu ami Xo\ AugURt and September, September ami October...
