of any country paper wo have ovorseen.
Wo congratulate you upon the liberal

acts in tho matter, that chord will soon
cease to vibrato. We hojie to have nth.

Your article on Congressmen, I think,
meets a hearty approval.
Our Representative, Col. Blount,

tho echo of tho rotation claim loft.—
Raw recruits can never serve us in fierce
congressional battles like veterans.
Your miscellany is tasteful and admi

a little sprinkling of the standard fer

can furnish you.
We report our section of the county,

excellent, with some grass, which is be-
