It matters not what might have been done in the past to have avoided this war. It nutters not what may t,<- the merits of this revo lution—whether right or wron we are all “in for it note our blood alone can carry us safely through it. 1 ho Tax gatherer must be paid. The sinews of War must bo supplied, and promptly too. Men rn ght as well pay their taxes cheerfully, for there is no way to avoid their payment. It is folly to -say “I have no money to pay my taxes.” Men who have anything to sell can get money, and sell at first rate prices. The decision of the issue upon us involves all we have—all we hope to have. Money, property, liberty, happiness, life its. i , all are at stake. Tiie miser who gloats over his buried treasures, will be as poor as the poorest if the issue goes against us. The man who hoarJs his gains from extortion, or legitimate and hon orable trade, has as much at stake as the man w hose means are put to tli" severest test to pro- •ide daily support for bis family Ail of us are embarked in the same boat. We must be all -aved iogetber, or share a common ruin. The man who plants only cotton, and the man who plants tobacco, or sugar; the Merchant, the Gro car, the Banker, the Speculator, all have a com mon interest at stake, and must all suffer or pros per together. Neither class can or should expect to escape the burthens impc- 1 by the War, or seek to withhold tlieir just from the Govern ment to enable it to p j the War with vig or to a successful issue. uere can be no step bickward now. “He that dallies isadastard.be that doubts is damned ” Those who cannot give personal services to the country must open their differs and give liberally of their wealth. The War is not ended by the few victories our brave meu lave achieved over the enemy. Indeed the ene my is stung and maddened by defeat, and is now preparing immense fleets in Northern harbors to send down upon our coast this winter, to invade tire Gulf States and carry desolation, distress and ruin over this fair land We must not look to England or France for help. Tney are broken reeds to lean upon. Our own brave hearts, strong arms, and inexhaustible iesouro'3, must be our great reliance. Let the fanner or planter who has any life sus taining article for man or beast which he can pos sibly spare from his cribs, bring it to market Buyers are plenty, and high prices will be paid. Let him pay his taxes from a part of the proceeds of his sales ; State, county, and Confederate. The cotton cannot now be sold, except in small quan tities. If it never can be sold, which is hardly probable, the planter will not be so unwise as to cover his land with it any longer, but will devote ois time and his labor to the cultivation of more profitable crops. But the idea we started out to impress on the reader is, that the Governmsnt must have money to carry on the War, and oui people should cheerfully pay all taxes required of hem. We will save more iu two years after we •onquer a peace, than the whole war will cost the Toveiument. We are loaning the Government our means, which will be restored to us with com- •ouiid interest. If no more patriotic view than his be taken of the subject, it is sufficient to bring ■veil the most dilatory man up to the measure of bis duty and the requirements of the law. It is true that it will bear hard upon many to pay their tsxes during the War; but tbe rich man ought not to complain while he sees the poor man suf fering for the necessaries of life. All must suffer ; some more than others, but in what a noble cause! This War has just begun. We are getting to that period in its history when the Lincolnites have boasted we would get sick and weary of it. We are just beginning to find out that we are in a fate of War. Some articles we have all al<n>»; had without difficulty, cannot now be had for “love or money,” and many other articles, heretofore ac •essihle to the poor even, such as coffee, meat, candles and sugar, are becoming luxuries on the tables of the comparatively rich, many of whom have abandoned the uso of them entirely, or use them in moderation. We must suffer still more : but if onr people are true to themselves and their country ; if they will dedicate their lives, tlieir for tunes and their sacred honor to its defence; this lark cloud of war will soon pass away, and the blessed sunlight of peace will break in upon ns and gladden our hearts with plenty and prosper- .ty; and we will have built up a Nation greater and grander, in all the elements of true Civiliza tion and Religious Liberty, than any upon which the Sun now shines. I-'or Oongrc**. We place the name of Hon. A. II. Kenan at the bead of our columns, for Congress in the 4 th Con gressional District. Col. Kenan is our pres ent representative. He has been with the Government in its formation, and we see no reason why he should not be elected to (ill the same seat now that the Government has become fully or ganized. His ability is admitted,and so far as we have beard, no objection lias been urged on tbe score of inefficiency or inattention to the duties of iiis post. Wo do not offer his name as the can didate of any party, or because he was nominated by a Convention. We do so because we believe him qualified, and for no other reason. A grnllc hint to our SubMrribrrs. We would kindly remind those of our subscri bers who iiapp-'n to lie a little behind hand with ns. that they will have a safe and convenient chance to send us up a dollar or two by their members, and others coming to the Legislature. We mention this not in the nature of a dun. We never dun anybody, and wo despise dunning; but the times are hard with us, as well as others. We have to pay cash for paper, ink and labor, and the only way that any of us can live through these hard times, is to help each other. Every planter or farmer that has provisions of any kind to sell, can get the money for their provisions, and then they can pay their Mechanics. Mer chants. and even their Printers, if they please We make these suggestions for those that are hon est, and disposed to do right. Whilst the Stay Law is iu force, there is no way of making any but honest men pay tlieir debts. We do not ex pect those that are dishouest will try to pay us, or anybody else, whilst the Stay Law is in fash ion. So these hints are not intended for them, and we do not expect them to pay any attention to what we say. In fact we do not write for tlieir benefit, it is only for the wise, the good, and the honest that we labor. Every patriotic and good man wants to have the news in these exciting times, and we hope all such will continue their subscriptions, whether they pay us now or not. yir. IIiirtridge’s I.cllrr.

In this article the Intelligencer has done injustice to the facts, and unwittingly, to Gov. Brown- Gov. Brown did not remove his headquarters to AtlantaV'owing to tb'. necessities of the public service.” Gov. Brown was in bad health and went to his mountain home to recruit, and to save those persons who ha I business with him. from a tedious ride to Canton Ga , he concluded to make his headquarters at Atlanta. It wa3 charged in this place, pending the election, that Gov. Brown had moved the capital of the State to Atlanta. We denied it and gave the true reasons why he was located at Atlanta. But even with this expla nation, Gov. Brown lost a great many votes in this county. We are happy to see the Governor a* the Capital of the State looking better, and if his health permits lie will spend the next two years at this place. Our friends of the Intelligencer m ist not take the capital away from us just yrt. We have a little war business on hand just now. which will keep the -treasury of the State well occupied for lo! these many years to come. Aio Parties—A KriuarU:ittlc Coiiirirfcurr. Se.veral of our contemporaries who are contin ually shouting that old parties are a:l done away, are very busy nominating candidates for Presi dent of the Senate and Speaker of the House — Now it so happens that those papers making these nominations all belonged to the old Whig and Know Nothing school, when it was fashionable to have such parties, and what is still more remark able, all of the men tlioy nominate for high offices, also once belonged to the same old parties. This is eery remarkable. Ini(>e«itioii ou Soldier*. One of our members of the Baldwin Blues came home a few days ago, in charge of the body of a deceased comrade. He was charged full fare on all ihe Rail Roads, notwithstanding the arrange ment of the Government with the Rail Roads al lows t' at a corpse shall be allowed an escort. purposes before named, and who would put it in circulation if they could get it. Once in circula tioii, it would go from one to another, and pay ma ny debts and relieve much suffering. But the stay-law, in its present form, enables those having it, to hold and speculate on it. (shaving notes and buying property at a great sacrifice to the owners j and to realise large profits on it, while they are on ly paying? pr et to the needy creditor. The law does not relieve the man who is compelled to raise money. It is true, his creJitor cannot levy upon his property and sell it at a sacrifice, bnt that does not stop his children from crying for meat, when it can only be had for the cash which lie is unable to get from his merciless debtor, neither does it pay his taxes, or exempt his property from selling for it. To meet these straits, he has to subject himself to the money lender and extortioner, and make as great sacrifices, perhaps greater, than he would to let his property go upon the block. But say you, the little money that is among the peo ple will not pay all the indebtedness, and if yon allow executions to be levied, they will be sold out and ruined. Well, I will suppose you are right though it is not quite certain that volt are. for our debts, that art- collectable now, are altogether do mestic, and a small sum of money will pay from one debtor to another throughout the country, un til many hundreds will be said by it, and it will still be in circulation, and undiininislied in amount. But I will admit your proposition,which will brings me to the remedy which I propose. Almost any man, by exerting himself can raise ten, fifteen, twenty or even twenty five percent of his indebt edness per annum, without making sacrifices, or being greatly incommoded. Now what I propose, is, to modify the stay law, so that any man, by paying to each of his credi tors li), 15, 20 or even 25 per cent per annum, of his indebtedness, shall be entitled to a stay of exe cution, freedom from arrest, &c. for and during the war, unless he shall seek to remove beyond the reach of the process of the Courts, or to remove his property Ac, Or I propose, that each debtor pay what he is able to pay. to each of his credi tors in equal proportion, and that upon his fifing an affidavit in the Clerk's office to that effect, he be entitled to a stay of execution, and to freedom from arrest Ac, unless fraud is alleged and proven for the space of six or twelve months, and that he hive the privilege of renewing the stay at the end of the time by renewing the payment aud nffid* vit. T his last plan I think best, as it would im pose upon no one more than he is able to perform, and would oblige such as are able to pay, to pay the full amount of their indebtedness, and would greatly relieve the country. The sums so paid over and put in circulation, will pay many small pj 0 I debts, such as are due to poor men, in full, and , . t> i . c .u i relieve them entirely.

Carrington of this county, is a candi date for Clerk of the House of Representatives.— We need only say, that no man in the State is bet ter qualified for the position. He is the right man for the place. Thr Ki-<;n(«tralioii Act. The following Resolutions were adopted by the Commercial and Financial Convention at Macon Ga., touching the Sequestration Act adopted by the Provisional Congress. Whereas, by the laws of nations debts due to alien enemies are suspended, and bear no interest during the continuance of war. Resolved therefore, That in the oppiuion of this Convention, the Sequestration act adopted by the Confederate Congress at is recent session should not require the payment of debts due by our citi zens t" alien enemies during the existence of the war: but that it should require only the evidence of the indebtness to be returned and placed upon record by the receiver, without security deman ded and taken for the ultimate payment of the same. That in eases wherein the debtor to an alien enemy is also a claimant of indemnity for dam age sustained by the act or non of th® govern n.ent «f the United States, or of the people there of, the said claim shall be allowed as an offset, and the balance only shall be the subject of pay ment. That we respectfully recommend to the Con federate Congress such alterations in or additions to the Sequestration act as may be necessary to authorize the Confederate Courts to enquire into the lioua Jide ot every transaction of our own citizens with alien enemies between the 21st day of May, l^Gl, and the date of the passage of that act, and to protect from the oper ations of the act those engaged in such transac tions, whose dealings with the enemy were of manifest benefit to the people or the Gov ernment ofthe Confederate States,or free from taint of disloyalty. That the Government of the Confederate States having assumed the place of the alien creditor ot the Confederate debtor, should stand ou the same footing with all other creditors. That this Convention further recommend to tbe Congress of the Confederate States, such modification of the Sequestration Act as may be requisite to exempt from its operation the prop erty ot persons resident in the States with which we are at war, who are laboring under the disa bilities of coverture or infancy, and consequently unable, though desiring it, to charge their dom icil, and who are not actually enemies to the South. TO TIIF. VOTERS OF TIIE SECOND CONCRESSIONAI, DISTRICT. At the request of citizens from different portions of the district I announce mjself as a candidate for the Confederate Congress from this, the SE COND CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT. In do ing so, I am fully mindful that a candidacy for ciril office in this time of onr country's peril is far from being a desirable position. But as our civil as well as military affairs must have attention, and as the people of the district must have a rep resentative, I conceive it a duty I owe many good citizens who have so requested, to place my name at their disposal. Believing that at a crisis like the one upon us, electioneering is improper. I shall not cativa-s tiie district, and shall do nothing to promote my success, except to make my candi dacy known, and to repel attacks if assailed. I deem it unnecessary to make any exposition ot my political opinions, as there is now no division of sentiment among the people of Georgia. All are engaged in the great work of our “deliverance and linerty.” In view, however, of the restora tion of peace, which will never happen until the Southern people take their stand among the na tions of the earth, I deem it proper to say I am a State Rights man in the strictest sense of the term, and if elected shall vigilantly watch and oppose with all my capacity, every attempt by Congress to exorcise power which is not clearly granted in the Constitution. In every place of public, eonti- tlence with which the people have honored me, 1 have adhered rigidly to this rule of political ac tion. Its violation is the can«e of the dissolution of the Union, and taking warning by experience, it should be the constant effort of every lover of his country to see that none of the errors of the old government creep into the new. It is my earn est wish that the present cessation of political feel ing and animosity shall always continue, and that the citizens of the Confederate States shall vie with each other only in making our nation the best and strongest among her rivals. Having explained myself as far as seems neces sary, I submit the question to the voters of the district. If I should be elected, I shall feel honor ed as any man should be, with the confidence of the enlightened and patriotic people ot this dis trict. If I should not, I shall be gratified that the district has a “worthier son” than l. It is in this spirit towards the people and my worthy competi tors, that my candidacy shall begin and end. 22 It. RICHARD H. CLARK. For the Southern Federal Union. IRWINTOX. Ga., Oct. 14th, ISfil. Messrs Editors: As the next session of the Leg islature is near at hand, aud it is likely some ac tion will be taken in that body in regard to the re-enactment, and continuance of the stay-law during the existence of the war, I thought I would ask a small space in your widely circulating jour nal, in which to give a few of my views on that important subject. At the time the Bank-suspension and stay-law was passed, I did not agree with the Legislature that the necessity then existed for the passage of such a law; and although the time lias now arriv ed when something should be done to relieve the people from their embarrassments, I do not think this can be done so effectually by tbe re-enact ment- of the law as it now stands, as by its pas sage in a somewhat modified form. In this part of the country, there is but little money in circulation, and 1 presume this is tbe case pretty much through the Confederacy, with the exception, peihaps, of Virginia and the bor der States, where a brisk trade is kept up in Army supplies, soldiers clothing &c., which makes mo ney more plentiful. There is some money, howev er, in every part of the country, if it could be pul iu circulation. There are also some purposes for which tbe people, generally, are compelled to raise money. T he State, county and Confederate—State Taxes, and taxes for the support of the wives and children of soldiers in tbe service (who are una ble to support them) have to be raised. There are also articles of prime necessity, which are scarce ed, mufuai interests will continue mutual friend ships, and many of the present evils will cease to exist. But I have already extended this article be yond what I expected, when I sat down, and will therefore close. J. C. B. To Ihe Voters of the First Congressional District. Fellow-Citizen: The Convention which assem bled at Biackshear, on the fith inst., did me the honor to nominate me as a candidate to represent the First Congressional District in the First Con gress of the Confederate States under the perma nent Constitution. 1 have accepted the nomination, and am be fore you as a candidate for your suffrages. It lias been the custom heretofore for a candi date for Congress to visit thc-differcnt portions of the District, and meet his fellow.citizens in person, in order that he might make them ac quainted with the political principles he profess ed, or the line of pirrypi! icy he would pursue intheevent of his election. Adue inspect tor the people he desired to represent rendered such a course highly proper; and the requirements of party made it expedient. Even now, when all parly lines have been obliterated, and a whole peo ple stand united in the same cause, and with all their energies directed to the attainment of but one object—Independence,—defereueo to the nat ural desire of the constituent to become person ally accquainted with his Representative, would induce me to visit, in person, the different Conn ties of the District, were I not prevented from do- in so by circumstances over whic h I have no con- trol. For sometime past T have Loan, snJ I otill am, in the military service of the country. It will not be necessary tor me, if elected. to take my scat in Congre-sjuntil the last of February next But in the meantime, it would be improper and highly reprehensible in me to leave the post which has been asssigned me, at a time when an attack upon our coast is most to be apprehended I feel assured, therefore, that my fellow citizens of the District, when they learn the cause which in duces me to forego the pleasure of visiting them in person, with excuse, what might otherwise ap pear to be, a want ot respect for themselves. As there are no principles of party politics involved in the pending election there can be no difference of opinion between my opponent and myself. No tiue Southern man can now advocate anv othi r policy than one which looks to the attainment of a permanent and final srjiaratiun from iho North Any other course, any other desire even, would be a betrayal of tne confidence reposed in him, an insult to the memory of the dead who nave sac rificed themselves to secure our independence, and should bring down upon the head of him who advocates or desires it, tbe cursts of the parents, widows and orphans whose dearest hopes and affections have been offered up upon the altar of their country’s liberty. As to what political question will arise after the attainment of our independence, it would be premature now lo sp“ak. T he course that your Representative should then pursue as to our internal policy or foreign telaiioris, must be left to time to devel op. Should you elect my opponent to tbe position to which I aspire. I shall bow in respectful sub mission to the popular will: feeling confident that the Representative of your choice will bring to the discharge of the duties dovolving upon him, a high toned integrity and a spirit of patriotism in which I can claim no superiority over him. If, on the other hand, it should be your pleasure to ratify the action of the late Convention, and make me your Representative iu Congress, I can only promise you that what ever of intellect I may possess, all my energies, all my efforts, shall be used and directed to sub serve the interest of the District, the State, and the Confederacy. Vour fellow-citizen, Julian IIaktp.idge. The fight ou Mania Roaa Island—Iuterrst- iug particulars. Extracts of a. letter from S. S. Camp bell to his father, Rev. J. II. Campbell, of Griffin.J We marched down to the wharf, where we waited for the steamer from the Navy Yard, which brought over a thousand troops. Our detachment of two hundred men (from the 5th Georgia Regiment at Pensacola,) went on board a scow and were towed over to Santa Rosa. We landed about 1 a. m., and separated into three detachments—one taking the north ern beach, one the southern, and the other the centre of the Island. We then marched along noiseless!j about five miles before we encountered the first sentinel. 1 was with the right wing. We fired the first gun. The sentinel challenged, and war, fired at by our advance guard. He returned the fire, the ball whistling above our heads. In an instant he was shot down, pierced by three or four balls.— Strange to say, the next sentinel did not hear the firing, for he did not repeat the alarm. We took him prisoner. By this time, a portion of our wing and the centre detachment were in the camps of Billy Wilson's Zouaves, burning and destroying everything. We had surprised them, and they retreated iu consternation and confu sion to tlte Fort. I was then “going it on my own hook,” and was within two hun dred yards of Pickens. Here I met up with the Mississippians and joined them in the retreat. You see our object was to destroy their camps, run them into the Fort, spike their batteries on the beach and retreat. All this we accomplished, and were retreating in good order jun at day break, and yet no gun opened from our Forts. In our re treat we were attacked by twenty or twenty five men of Wilson’s crowd, who did terrible work with their Minnie rifles. We saw them when they rose up from their ambuscade, and challenged them. They gave our ‘countersign’ and we said, ‘All right,friends,’ As soon, however, as we became exposed to their view, . they turned loose a dreadful fire on us, killing our men in every direction. I was stand ing by the dead bodies of two of the •Clinch Rifles,’ trying to get some of the i Regulars to assist me in carrying them off. J j Three of them came accordingly, when I the enemy tired a ■volley, killing all three | of them. I reckon twenty balls whistled around my head at that instant. I began to think my turn would come next. So I concluded to do what I could : I stood up and loaded my gun, and capped it, while the bullets whizzed about me like hail stones, I then dropped down behind a sand hank, when a ball passed just over my head, knocking the sand in my face. Looking over the bank, I saw one of the poor wretches peeping from behind a hush, I laid my gun in the furrow made by the ball which had just passed over me, took deliberate aim and fired. The poor wretch sunk down without a struggle. Just then Lieutenant Nelms command ed us to charge. About forty of us rushed forward, but the enemy were running and iiring. Lieut. Nelms fell mortally wound ed. I squatted behind a small bush and watched my chance. Presently I saw one of them running along in a stooping pos ture, from one bush to another, I fired up on him, when he sprang into the air as high as my head, and fell dead. Just at that instant, one of them made a rush from behind a bush at one of our men who was near me, when I clubbed my musket and felled him to the ground. The man upon whom he was charging sprang upon him and finished him with his Bowie knife. The person who killed Lieut. Nelms met with a similar fate. We tried to cut oft' their retreat, hut they knew the ground better than wc did, and outran us. The main portion of our troops were now returning rapidly towards our boats, according to the original plan. 1 found a man, belonging to the Alabama State Ar tillery, lying wounded on the beach. 1 found a mule, on which I placed him, and in this way conveyed him four miles to the boats. I got him home safe, and he is now doing well, though he is shot through the neck- I then got on board the steamer and went on the upper deck. The enemy had followed, and were again blazing away at us from the beach with their Minnie li lies, sending a shower of shell around us. Gen. Anderson was standing near me, when he was wounded in the arm by a ball, which, however, is not considered se rious. Thus ended the skirmish. Capt. Maugham [of the Griffin Light Guard,] had command of the left wing, and sustained his post nobly. He took three prisoners, one of whom was the Lt. Col. of the Zouaves. He also brought off, as trophies, a musket and a fine sword. Not one of our company received a scratch. Since the fight, I am told by a member of the McDuffie Rifles, that one of the en emy was in the act of bayoneting me from behind, when he shot him dead,. I am more and more impressed that (Jo:t rules. I feel thankful that He preserved my life. 1 learn that the official report will show the full loss on our part, cf killed, wound ed and missing, to be 72.

Samuel McConib in the chair, a committee was appointed to prepare Resolutions relative to the death of pri vate Walter B. Cushing, which committee subse quently reported the following, which were unan imously adopted: Whereas, This Company is again called to mourn the loss of one of its members in the demise of pri vate Waiter B. Cushing, who died at the Naval Hospital, near Portsmouth, Va , on Friday morn ing, the 4th inst., of typhoid fever, aged 17 yeats; it becomes our mournfully pleasing duty to give some public expression of onr feelings on the sad occasion, llimselt a native Georgian and the de scendant of Southern horn ancestors, his young heart tired with just indignation against the op pressors of his native land, and he laid his services and his life a willing and patriotic sacrifice on the altar of his Country's wrongs. Modest aud retir ing in his disposition, iie had no ambitious aspira tions to subserve, but sought solely to promote his country's weal. Acheertuland pleasant compan ion, and prompt and efficient in the dischxige of his duties as a soldier, his loss will be deeply felt by every member of this Company, and many oth er friends; while to bis surviving parent and other relatives iu Milledgevilie, the intelligence of his decease, has brought such an overwhelming sense of keen distress, as time, and the consolations of Divine Grace, alone can assuage. Be it therefore Resolved, that in the death of Private Walter B Cushing, while as a Company we would submissively acknowledge the Divine authority, wc nevertheless deeply lament the loss of a worthy companion, and a patriotic and faith ful brotherin-anns. Resolved, That our warmest sympathy and con dolence are hereby tendered to the bereaved rela tives of the deceased; and the Secretary is instruct ed to transmit a copy of these proceedings to the bereaved family. Resolved, That these proceedings be entered on the minutes of this Company, and that the News papers of Milledgevilie, be requested to publish the same. Lieut. John B. Fair; Sergts.

T HE Grand Jurors sworn, chosen and selected for the County of \Tilkinson, at thecouclu- sion of the short service of the present term, beg leave to make the following general Present ments : We have, through appropriate Committees, ex amined the Books and Records in the Ordinary and the Clerks of the Superior and Interior Courts, aud ri d their, neatly and correctly kept, reflecting great credit upon those officers. The Books of the County Treasurer, have also been examined, and can say the same of that officer We find in the hands of the Country Treasurer, a balance of $1,1(10 41, with orders unpaid, amount ing to $1,104 02. Among the s„id amounts un paid, is the sum of §224 02, due alien enemies, and which, under the Sequestration Act of the Confederate Congress cannot be paid. We find the Roads and Bridges in very good order except the Sand Bed Bridge and the Light wood Knot Bridge. The Jail is unsafe and insecure, arid wholly unfit for the purpose for (which it was intended. Without any further recommendation, we call the attention of the proper authorities to this impor tant matter, trusting that they will use their best discretion in remedying the evil. The Court House is iv very good condition, and we recom mend no repairs. We call upon our Senator and Representative, in the uext General Assembly, to use their efforts in securing theNcnactineiit of a general statute, levying a lax upotl the whole people of the State, for the purpose of raising a fund for the support of the families ot destitute soldiers, who have gone, or may hereafter go to\he war. The eloquent and patriotic sentiments of His Honot, on the unjust waK. which is now being waged upon the people of thKSonth, and the duty which every patriot owes his Country in this great cri-is, meets with a hearty response from this body. We adopt his language, arid say our in dependence must be achieved. We particularly commend that poition of his lienor’s charge, which denounces that feeling which instigates some men “We hope there are none such iu the County of Wilkinson to speculate upon the wants and necessities of the Country, and especially of the brave and seif-sacrificing soldiers who have gone foith to fight the battles of our invaded country. Let us be generous, and instead of speculating, do all we can to sustain this war aud the noble men who are engaged in it.” In taking leave of His Honor, we tender him onr thanks for the able, impaitial and dignified manner in which he lias as usual discharged the duties of his position. He is worthy the confi dence and respect of the whole circuit, who are fortunate in having such a Judge. We also return our thanks to our very efficient Solicitor, W. A. Lofton, for the able manner in which he has performed his duties, and also for the kindness and courtesy shown this hodv. SAMUEL T. PLAYER, Foreman. John Burk, John Smith (of Hamah,,) Abel O.
