A man minted McCormick was shot and

The Athens Watchman says : Judge James
b. Hook, of this State, has recently decided
that the act of Congress, passed 25th of Feb
ruary, 1862, making greenbacks a legal ten
der, does not apply to debts made prior to tba
passage; upon the ground that It is not in
pursuance of the Constitution of the United
States ; which instrument prohibits the enact
-1 ment of laws by the States impairing the ob

I The Savannah Republican of the Ist says ;
j Yesterday morning at the opening of the
1 Freedmen’s Court, no clerk was either visible,
I tangible or iu anywise comatable. A litttle
I inquiry elicited the fact that the clerk had
, gone North on one of Saturday’s steamers.—
We congratulate the North on his arrival, as
be took with him funds belonging to various
parties here, which must necessarily be dis
bursed in New York.
ALABAMA.
Geo, Patlan has issued a proclamation co
operating with the President in recommend
ing Thursday the 17th day of May'as a day of '
fasting, humiliation and prayer, in view of .
the fast approaching Asiatic Cholera.
The Advertiser 4' Reijuter says, quite a flut
ter has been excited in certain circles, in con-- !
sequence of an order received at this place '
within the past week, from Washington, for ,
the arrest of a prominent official iu the Treas- i
ury Agent’s department of this city. We |
learn that the books and papers under bis i
care have been seized upon, and several other I
distinguished individuals will have to “make |
themselves scarce,” to avoid arrest. The '
main parly des gnated by the order is at
present absent fiom the city. It is said that
frauds on the government to the amount of
nearly $1,000,000, have been committed at
this place.
FLORIDA.
JuGne Sticknoy, one of the Direct Tax
Commissioners for the State of Florida, has
decided that, all the tax sales of tbe property
at Fernandina and St. Augustine, out cdL
which some of the officials made what ’they*|
believed to be a “big thing,’’ are null and
void tor want of conformity to the law. Tbe i
original owners therefore come tigain into
possession.
The Army and Navy Journal, of the 7th
inst., says: “The duties to which Commodore
J. A. Winslow was ordered to Washington
being completed, be will proceed to Pensaco
la, Fla., and relieve Acting Rear Admiral H.
K. Thatcher from the command of tbe Gulf
Squadron.
“Acting Rear Admiral H. K. Thatcher will
transfer tbe command of tbe Gulf Squadron
to Commodore J. A. Winslow, ou bis report
ing to Pensacola, Fla.”
TENNESSEE.
A correspondent of the Nashville Union and
American, writing from Sparta, Tennessee, gives
the following distiessing account ol aff.irs in
that section :
Our neighboring county of Putnam has been i
in quite an exeit- ment f-ir the fast week. ft
has beconuu aim >st a common thing tor a few
lawless met! wh > range thorough that county,
to mistreat citzsus aud returned rebels ai H eir
pleasure. O e nig-11 last, week, (hire meh,
“.rtneily o Capt. Pennuigton’s company, of
Col. Garrett’s regiment, nam d Maxwell, Mil
ler at d Patton, wen' 10 tbe house ot an old man
named Gunter, took him out from bis house
stripped his shirt i ff, and Miller and Maxwell
were whipping him umnerc fully. The old
man’s ilaiigbier, lourieeu years ot age and sou
twelve years old, bearing bis cries, went to bis
rescue, eueb wiih an axe. Coming id, one of
tbegi clove, ihe edge ot the axe to the eye in
Miller’s back, and the other did tbe same in
M.xweli’s hetd. Pattou who was bolding
ho>es, rushed 10 their rescue wi b bis pisiol,
when one blown almost, entirely severed Ins
right arm Having released their’aged parent. |
rtrauge 10 s>y they all returned 10 the bouse 1
witboi.it fmTher molesting tbe whipping party.
M iXWell has since died, and Miller, it is said is
bound to .lie. The e are the facts as I beaid
them, and J believe they are tine.
Monday Circuit Court began in Cook-ville.
and it was HXpec'ed a large number of those
outlaws were on hand, cutting up generally. -
Two of them, wlies- names I undetsiood to be
McCalip and Sweareiigm, heat and abused the
veueianle Judge Quarles, of Geinsboio’, badly
tor what reason 1 have not learned. Judge
Quaries is a Jiiwyer ol high standing, and es
teemed by all’who know li m. Several arrests
w re made tbe n*xi day, L am in'ormed by a
Company of regular United States troops, who
had just arrived, and quiet is restored, Al
agree that no Court could have been h-ld a
Cookeville, had it not been lor tbe arrival ot
this company ol troops.
Some two months ago, a part of these
same outlaws went to the bouse of n man
named Roberts, be'ow Cookeville, whipped
him almost to death, took S6OO cash from
him, and made him leave the country im
mediately. Roberts had just returned from
Indiana, whither he bad removed during the
war'.
On last Saturday, a son of Tinker Baty of
Fentress county, and a in n turned Hatfield
came to Sparta 00 business, and left in the
rain. They called at the bouse of John
Dewees, a man seVehty-Gve years old, ten
miles east of Sparta, to warm. The old mau
having kindly invited them in, built them a
good fire. Baty soon found that Dcwees had
left Fentress in 1862, to avoid troubles there,
and settled in this secluded place, nnd com
menced abusing the old man, and gave him
his choice to go to Fentress with them or
take a whipping. Ttie old man objected to
both—had no business in Fentress, and was
too old to Hike the whipping. But when
they had dried thoroughly, they started, tnk
ing the old man with them n few hundred
yards from the house, when Baty let in on
him witn a stick, knocking him down sever
al times, aud then with a limb whipped him
severely.
1 also leu.ni to-day that a man mimed Jones,
living five or six miles east of Smithville,
was whipped to-lenth by three unknown men’
one night last week.
If these men are not disarmed, and stop -
ped from such inhuman acts, more girls and
axes will have to be brought into requisition.
Everybody is rejoiced to bear of the United
States troops in Putnam, and we sincerely
hope they will roniaiu there until all of these
outlaws are disarmed in all of this mounluin
country

From the Galveston Commercial Bulletin.
Cotton Conjectures.
We have, of late, had numerous verbal ac
counts from many portions of the State rela
i live to the now growing crop of cotton, and
;4>ouof them agree hi -luting that the pros-
for .he codling season are exceedingly
i Haltering, the freedmen working well, far be-
Aond all anticipations, and that in some por
( lions more cotton had been planted than at
any time prior to the outbreak of the late
civil Wtr. We have heard of farmers who
have heretofore worked from two to three
hands are now working twenty five, fifty,
and evenftnore This is more generally ap.
plicable to tlie German farmers, who will
make more than fourfold the amount of cot
ton raised by them in ’6O- 61. The only fear
of tbe larger planters is that when the time
arrives for picking, the hot, sultry season of
the year, that the negro, now that compulso
ry labor bus been done away with, will not
work witn the same diligence that, he does
now, nnd that tbe g eat difficulty will be in
gathering tbe cotton in time to prevent injury.
With all these lights before us it is yet im
possible to get anything but a vague idea of
wbat the c op may be, still wo believe that if
nothing happens to injure the plant, that our
firmer estimate of about half a crop sos our
State will prove to have been considerably
under, rather than over tbe figure. This,
however, must necessarily be all guess work,
I es it has been generally conceded that even
at the commencement of the picking season it
is yet too early to make a reliable estimate of
the growing crop If this was the case be
fore t e war when the laborers were worked
with regularity and efficiency, bow much
more uncertain it is now when so large a por
tion of the laborers 'hrougbout the Southern
States have become inefficient, and, to a great
extent, demoralized. This much for our
State.
The New Orleans Price Current of a late
date quotes from the New York Commercial
and Agricultural Review, edited by Mr. De-
Bow, who, after an extensive tour through
the cotton growing States, makes the follow
ing calculations of the probable cotton crop
of the entire South for the coming season.
He assumes that under the advantages of the
i slave labor system nnd full agricultural force
that existed in 1860, the crop of the cotton
growing States mig.it reach 5,000,000, though
taking the chances one year with another, it
would not be safe to estimate over 4,500,000
bales. Starting with these figures as a basis
for his calculations, and influenced in his
views by personal observations, he oeducts
one-fourth for the loss of tbe inefficient ne
gro population during t! e war, and another
fourth for the inefficiency of the freedmen
under the new labor system, thus reducing
tbe amount of cotton to 2,250,000 bales, con
tingent, however, that the whole cotton grow
ing region is under cultivation. Sucu be
contends is not the case, and assumes th it at
least one-third of the cotton lands remain un
cultivated, which would further reduce the
entire yield to 1,500,000 bales. He says that
tie figures are not likely to be increased by
anything that, is now to happen, and may be
greatly reduced by the ignorance, neglect or
desertion of the laboring forces, which, judg
ing Irom the experience of all other countries,
is more likely to occur than not, and reduce
tbe vop to 1,100,000 or 1,200.000 bales.
His course of reasoning seem? to us to be
sound, bu he has evidently taken tbe extreme
inside track, aud can not, most, assuredly,
well be made applicable to om Slate, as we
have suffered but little, comparatively, ot tbe
horrors of the late war—tbe negroes have r ot
become d moralized to near as great an ex
tent as in other Southern States. Neither
have our gin houses, fences, farm imple
ments, live stock, etc., been carried away or
destroyed ns elsewhere, and we are, conse
quent y, in a much better condition to raise a
full crop than any other State.
Hooish —The owner of a large dog at
Gram) Rapids, Mich., a few days ago placed
it one hundred dollar looking glass before bis
canine to worry him. The dog flew around,
barking and growling. The other was de
lighted anil cried “sick ’em;” the dog “sick
ed;” tbe mirror and the “other |dog” disap
peared at the snme time. The joke rather
