But Farmer Arnold's friends have been claiming tliat in the other end of the district there w as great disaffection. They have claimed tliat Duncan’s friends were sore ami rebellious, and tliat they would not rally to Hammond. We are fortu nately able to present tlie most undoubt ed contradiction to this claim this morn ing. This contradiction does not come from anonymous correspondents, or from obscure citizens, but from well- accredited gentlemen, talking over their own hand*, and giving responsible utter ances. They speak deliberately and knowingly, and show that the opposition will not muster a corporal's guard in Houston and Crawford. The friends of Firmer Arnold had bet ter look ont foi some other points where the opposition to Hammond is sweeping things before it. in so many cotton plantations, or to the trunks ot any other trees, or they may lie used in pans uj*on which ]x?rioruted plat forms of w«*od or tin are made to float. 1 The commissioners are also endeavor ing to devise some more economical method of applying arsenical poison,after the worms have apjieared, tlian through tlie use of the wasteful sprinklersor sieves.
