C onfederate Monument.—An ef fort is being made by getting up con tributions, and also by raising funds through a Prize Distribution, to build t monument to our brave Confederate 'had.

We informed our readers last week t,leie has been no cessation of work, n<)l hkely to be, and hence the ba ls n P°n which this sensational canard r sts is groundless. 01 r ° N tji.ss.— i J . (i.

I>. Chipley, Acting Superintendent of the North & South I»ailr6ad, that there will be a meeting on Tuesday, August 13th at 11 o’clock in Carrollton, in the interest of the North A South Railroad. Tnis enterprise as our readers are aware from an article in our paper last week, is being rapidly,pushed for waid in this direction. The engineer corps are now in Heard county, and captain C. informs us have secured a fine line to Franklin, and are now ready to move Northward. They " ill soon be ready to enter this coun ty and our citizens will be called up on to advance, as the counties below have done, SI,OOO for surveying pur poses. Receipts will be given for any money advanced for this purpose, and said receipts will be fundable in stock of the company, and hence the money subscribed is not a donation but a subscription. The North & South Road is one in which our town mid county is deeply interested. It ill put us in air line communication w illi Chattanooga, the grain depot of East Tennessee, and hence will be the means of cheapen ing supplies of all kinds. With the North and South to bring us our pro visions, and the Savannah, Griffin and North Alabama to haul our Cotton, Carroll county will occupy an envi able position, and if she will but half do her duty, will be bound to be come one of the most prosperous and wealthy,counties in the State. We hope there will be a full turn out of our people to the meeting on the 13th. They are all more or mss in terested in this Road, and let them show their interest by being presant |On this occasion. They will be in j formed how they can hasten the com : pletion of the Road to this point, and |we are told if they will but do one fourth their duty, dirt will he shovel led at Carrollton before Spring. For the Currpll CourVy Times. Gardner’s Fire Extiguisheis. At Louisville, Kentucky, those ex tinguishers were subjected to iho fol lowing test : A twe-siorv -iVani building, about 15 by 30 feet, was erected; straw and shavings were spread on the roof, on the floor of each story and on the stairway; coal oil was then thrown on the roof and in one room, and fire ap plied in five different places. In a moment the building was one mass of flames. Two of Gardner’s Village Engines were then made to play on the fire, and hi (/tree seconds the dames icere entirely extinguished ! This seems almost incredible, but the fact in certified to by many most respectable and responsible persons, and the building stands there now with walls, floors and ceilings all charred, and a part of the roof burnt pff, as evidence of what took place. The extenguishing element is a so lution of sulphate of soda highly char ged with carbonic acid gas. A village engine costs $503 to sl,- 500, a house engine, easily carried and worked by one man, SSO. At the moment it is needed the ex tinguisher makes the gas, and throws T a distance of forty five feet through a hose The engines are manufactured at the •‘Lithgow Eire Extinguisher works, Louisville, Kentucky.” This account is condensed from one of Bishop WigUlmun’s letters, and is given to call the attention of our peo ple to the importance and the cheap ness of making provision for the pro teetiou of property against fire. With a village engine, handled by a well organized fire company, and two or three hand engines, our little town will be quite safe against conflagra tion. Let the -“City Fathers” continue their works of improvement, finish the two new wells on the square, fur iiish each public well with a good force pump, and have ready for use 200 feet of hose; let the young men organize a fire company, -and, if the corporate authorities cannot furnish an engine, call on the citizens for sub scription—the county will doubtless subscribe handsomely for ilia protec tion of the public buildings and re cords; and let each business man se cure a bouse engine for his own use. The diminution in the rate of insur ance, will, doubtless, soon pay for these improvements. To get ready for the “wolf” before he reaches the fold, is the part of pru dence, it will be too late to send off for a protector when the marauder- has entered upon his career of havoc: and when the loss comes, it will not be rendered the more endurable, by the reflection that it could have been averted at so small a cost, May Tins prove no Cassandra WARNING. * * * For Congress. —We are authoized to announce the name of W. O. Tng g'e > of La Grange, as a candidate for Congress in this District, subject to nomination by the Democratic party. To THE , OXERS OF CaRROLV. COUN TY. —We propose the Name of J. M. IIAMRICK, jr. (a wounded soldier) as a candidate for the office of Tax Collector, for the county of Carroll. Fairplay. (Caiamunlcnted.) Editor Times:— l see in your last issue, a communication, under the sig nature of “Manv Democrats,” in ref erepce to the manner of nominating candidates for the various offices to be filled at the approaching election. 1 They say that it would be best for the Democratic party in each District to j hold an election at their respective precincts ; and why do they say this is best ? Because it best represents the wishes of the people in the choice of candidates. This is the one reason why these many Democrats, are in favor of this plan. That there motive ! is laudable no one will deny. It is a great thing to have the good of the ! people at heart ; and, if by no other plan, can their wishes be represented— I say let it be done, though the heav ens drop. But these “Many Democrats ” say again, that when delegates are chosen to make the nominations, rings are at work to influence them ; and that while a delegate may think lie is car rying out the will of his District, a ma jority of the District might vote for a different, man,” and this is another reason in favor of their plan. The plan here proposed is as open, (in fact more so,) to objections, as the one ‘heretofore adopted,’ to-wit : send ing delegates from each Militia Dig trict. Two Democrats and Justice of the Peace hold an election at which, only Democrats are permit ted to. vote. This vote is there to be consolidated— our proposers don’t say by whom, nor where at—but I sup pose by the managers of the election, and at the Court House. Now, when the election comes off at the precincts or elsewhere, who will be the Judges of a man’s Democracy, as only a Dem ocrat has the right to vote. The managers, I suppose. By what rule will they judge—what law are they to be governed by? Again, is there any room for squabbling over the consoli dated returns —the correctness and fairness of the count Ac..? There is more room for disatisfaction here, than in the present mode, and a much bet ter field, for rings to work, because wider with more bushes and rocks to hide abused confidence. Either way, agents have,to be cm ployed, and if they are so ignorant as to misrepresent the will of their own im mediate neighbors, or.mean enough to lie corrupted by “ Rings” in one case, the evil will certainly be aggravated where there is more opportunity. But I deny in the first place, the existence of any Rings in this county, whose purpose is to corruptly influ ence any delegate. If there is, it U the duty of these Many Democrats to expose them. -Let us all receive the benefit of the discovery. Again, I deny that the people of this county are such brainless and apathetic creatures, as, for the last ten or fifteen years, to send delegates to county conventions, who are either too ignorant to know the wishes of their constituents, or knowing them are too cowardly or corrupt to repre sent them. Such men as Candler, Springer, Richards, Bonner, Bussell, and McDaniel and others who have been delegates, in my opinion, repre sented the wishes of their constituents; for none of them are either corrupt or foolish—nor are their constituencies ignoramuses. The people select these delegates, and are responsible for their action ; and it is as much and more in their pow er to select an honest and able delegate as an upright and intelligent manager. We send delegates to the National, State and Agricultural Conventions— where affairs much more important are considered, —we have directors of our Railroads, Manufactories Ac., but when it comes to nominating candi dates for county offices—no man can be trusted—be is either too corrupt or too ignorant. Being corrupt he de ceives a credulous and insane coustitu eney—under the manipulations of Rings. Being ignorant, under the | same guidance, he misrepresents, what he intends to represent. Most miserable picture in the book of time, A man condemned without a ciime, Or if any that of ignorance, Misnamed by liis constituents. Now, Mr. Editor, I have only heard this plan urged by “Many Democrats” spoken of by but one or two. Your | correspondents have been more fertu nate—the source of this whole move ment in my opinion, can be traced to the gurgling fountain heads of the opposition, as they endorse, to a man, so far as any knowledge extends the proposition. In fact, it we wait and say nothing they will gratuitously, cheerfully and most skillfully arrange the whole plan of campaign, for the whole Democratic party, and in a way ; which will redound —not any to their ! own benefit.
