Dear Cot


Doubtless, if you are like the majority oi
mankind, you have been hasty in putting an
unfavorabe construction upon my long 81
lence; but, like the torpid alligator, which
has slept through the winter in :he quag-
mires of antarctic regions, | have again
opened my eyes. Though my silence has
been somewhat procrastinated, yet | have
not been all the time unemployed have
a mind that is as busily disposed as Spring
shower knat-ever on the wing.


1t has been my manner heretofore to dis
course of our county and town. Times are
better with as, decidedly We are not ve-
ry restless people no how We make corn
cotton, potatoes, swap horses, marry and
give in marriage, IS though the world and
all that is in it were eternal and destitute of
change. Well, sir. in sooth. that is the bone
and sinew of philosophy. But this rise in
the country must be attributed to some cause.
Robinson Crusoe, or some other eminent



without cause. 1t may be attributed to
the absolute certainty of electing Henry Clay
10 the next Presidency. God in his mercy
and power send it. | see you are all warm
up there on the subject-organizing your
Clubs, &c. We have done nothing of that
sort here yet One thing that keeps US SO

cilties. Why, sir, we just learned the other
day that Congress convened in December
lastl


1t has been raiaing here "off and ON
ever since Gov. Brown, after various enqui-
ries found the way to Jackson, so that it
seemed to me the Universe had turned into
an over-shot MILL and this earth was the
wheel. But this is all stuff. What if it does
rain, let it rain. I'll leave this to those who
have nothing else to scri5ble about.


The next thing uppermost in my noggin
is the vast canvalescence OF our city. The
price of boards, poles, and sich like, has ri7
considerably. The morals of the city are
evidently docking up" A very distin-
guished minister of the Methods: Church
has recently become a resident of this place
the Rev BLANToN p. Box, from the ex-
treme southern part of Alabama man of
energetic piety, sound intelligence and ster-
ling talents; indeed no small acquisition
Notwithstanding some few devoted knigh hts
to the cause Of the White Pitcher" we
have a population remarkable for their So
bliety and industry. Another cause of great
JOY and satisfaction to our people is, a fe-
male school, which bids fair to become
great light in these parts. The lady, Miss
JANE FULLAR, is every way qualified for
the duties of her profession. She is amiable,
persevering patient industrious. and highly
accomplished. She possesses the enviable
talent of making her pupils love her like a
sister The citizens of the town are as we'll
pleased as they could possibly be. No
thing but an act of God can prevent this
excellent lady from succeeding in her an
dertaking to her utmost wish. This is an
excellent location for schools every indca
ton of health.

Good bye.


Yours sublimely.
