The first bale ought to have been bought here at a fancy premium.”— As much as to say that the mer chants of the city were illiberal in their bids. The truth is, thirty cents was offered here, and twenty and a half was obtained in Savan nah ! The Editor would do well to in form himself as to the facts of a case before condemning parties. City Merchant. For Tax Collector,—The many friends of Geo. D. Griffin will be gratified to learn that he is a candi date for the office of Tax Collector, if nominated by the Democratic par ty. Mr. Griffin is an honest, upright man and would make a number one Collector.
