[communicated.]
Edtors News & Farmer :
I have noticed in your esteemed
paper a contest between friends of
Mr. Jeremiah Howard and W. H.
Fay, which has been going on for
some time. They both seem to be
contendingfor military li nors, which
they think ought to secure their elec
tion in January next, for Tax Re
ceiver of this county.
Now, Messrs. Ediiors, as both of
them have rendered such ellicient
service to their c ountry in the late
struggle, that it is out of i};e ques
lion lor the people to decide which
of them are entitled to ihe honor ol
Receiver, and, for fear that one pr
the other may be un niemionally
slighted, by the voters ol the coun
ty, I have thought it be*t to co tie
10 their relief, as I am a frieu I to
both, and offer ir.yseif as a comp o-
man. I have fought lmrdei
than eith r of them, and have bien
in ihe field longer. I first volunteer
ed under King Emanuel, and be
longed lo his command in Augusta,
Ga. I next joined the ranks ofCapt
Ftank Roberson to fight the baiU'JS
of my country, and had many liar I
skirmishes in Green street, and in
Broad street. I afterwards joined
the ratiks of Capt. Wi'sm, com
manding the Augusta Artihjy
Guards, and had some heavy cm
onadiug, and always put the enemy
to flight. So you see I, too, have
seen some hard s> rvice But the
haidest fighting that I have done
has been in ihe service of rny King,
as before state I. I volunteered at
the age of about twenty years, and
lor about ten years I was high pri
vate in t lie rear rank. After awhile
signs of valor began to fie noticed
by the Generals ol my King’s array,
and they recommended me for pro
motion, and a council of the King’s
Cabinet vv s called and mj claims
set before ihem : 1 found fav r with
the officers of ihe Cabinet, and 1 was
recommended as worthy of a com
mis-ion. I received my commission,
and ever since then I have fought
upon many hard co,.tested bittle
fi Ids. I comm in ed young and
vigorous, with fair prospects bes ire
me. In the defense of the cans • I
espoused, I have spent my jou h,
my manhood, and my fortune. I
have grown poor, infirm and old in
the c ruse. If my friends, Howard
and Fay, purchased their military
lionors with their blood, it was a
small quantity, an I ihey still have
enough left to secure to them aco n
fortable living, under the gloiious
liberty which their uneqoaled va or
has achieved for them. But my
seivice is not yet complet°. My
armor cannot be laid and iwn, ‘‘lor the
weapons of my warfare are not car
nal,” artd with my visor donned, my
shield firmly fixed on my foremn,
my feet shod wilh the preparation
of the Gospel, the sword of the
Spirit g rtel to my side, and the
spear ol Faith firmly grasped in ms
hand, I press onsvar.l to defend the
honors of my Lord. Bitl am com
pelled, for wan of strength and vig
or of b i.lj, io lay aide ihe mall, the
chissel, the 24 inch guage, the com
pass, the square, the trowel, plumb
and level, and set me dosvn upon the
rough ashler, and looh out upon the
checkered pavement, ihe well laid
foundation, the signifi.-ant pillars,
the magnificent stair-way that leads
to theb -auiifu'chamber, from thence
io the glorious smetum, where the
shining altar contains God's in ’Stis
malile gift io man, and there wait,
and expect help from the grand
masiers, as well as the many over
seers and fellow craftsmen who have
gone this way, or that may follow
alier me—md, as the compromise
man, receive the support of all others
that can feet kindly towards me, or
that may noi be able to decide which
of the two veterans, of other days,
to support.
Dear friends, I ha e toseecun
rades at variance, and you know
it will be so if either Howard or
Fay is elected ; therefore, to prevent
ihis hard feeling, I will most gra
ciously thank you, everv one, to
come and caet only one vote apieee,
and if I get one vote from every man
in the county you will have for your
Deceiver E, J. Pannal.

In Southwestern Texas, there is a
caule-raißer who has lived there 20
years. On going there he picked up
a doxen cows, and branded them
He had no land but was ihe posses
sor of a wife, two or tlnee gun3, a
tew dogs and two or three lioises.—
He k< pi a wa ch of his cows and
lived in a fion.-l and.eo-mouth way
lor several years, subsisting his fain
ily by the capture of game and sale
of skins. In 1573 he owned 30,000
Jiead of cattle, duly branded and
ranging over ihe plains. He has a
family of cine children, five of whom
are boys, lbs eldest child is a girl
nineteen years of age. She can rope
a steer, kill a wolf with a rifle, or
strangle a dog at arms length.
In lire man’s house is a nail keg
nearly filled wiili gold coin, while in
the pantry is a flour barrel almost
.filled with silver pieces. When he
sells caitle ii is tor coin, which is
dumped on the p.-ern ses. He will
not take paper money ai any rale,
hui is always ready to se I steers for
gold and silver. His boys are all la
uiii'ar with guns, h ts s, dogs and
cattle. .In a lew years more .they
W'll have literally cart loads ot mon

The Horse Shoe.
The farmer went to town one day
uccum;>a!iied by his so >, lit tic Tnom
as.
“See,” said he io him on the way,
‘there is a broken burse shoe in the
road; pick it up and put it iu your
pocket.’
Oh, no, faiher,’ replied Thomas,
‘ii isn’t worth while io stoop and pick
it up.’
His father (tnsweriug nothing,
picked it up aid pm it in his own
pocket. He sold it io the blacksiniih
of the next village for three farthings
and bought cherries wjih the money.
Afier this coniirjued their
journey. The sun was burning hoi,
Wiiher bouse nor tree nor spring
was anywhere to be seen. Thomas
suffered with thirst, and had gr. at
difficulty iq keep mg up with his fa
ther.
The latter then, as if by accident,
let fall a cherry. Thomas picked it
up with as much eage n-88 as if it
had been gold, and put it m his
mouth. A little further on ihe father
let fall another chert y, w hich Thom*
ass- ized wiih the same haste. The
game continued unnl all the cherries
had been picked up.
When the lasi had e iten the
lather turned to the sou. s niliiig and
said:
‘You now see that if you had
been willing to stoop once io pick up
the horse shoe, you would not have
been obliged io do ii a hundred times
ior ihe cherrie-.’
