Editors Citizen : Supposing your staff all at home since the Legislature adjourn ed, and In regular working order, getting up news for yoiw most estimable and worthy paper, (especially thought so by this section), I thought I would say a few words. Although this has been a very severe spring yet the farmers are plow ing and cleaning up their old fence roads, thereby getting their best and richest spots for corn, potatoes, &c, and looking with more interest to their garden pro ductions than usual, hoping thereby to make their necessaries, out of their own farms and gardens, instead- of looking to foreign markets for -them; and by a less and better cnltivation of tobacco, they surely will succeed. By- the way, Messrs. Editors, we would like to see Bob Furman, and shake bis hand for the way and manner be ran the Senate, (as ttiB ciaimcu uc ran u., eBpewauy iwuis magistrates he gave op; and bow we do expect good times still to go on in bid Buncombe, if she did ron wild last fall, (which she never will do again), and as we are one of the townships that was legislated on, (I speak with reference to the stock law, which without fear of contradiction was doing well enough), and has the privilege of going out or staying in, I say we are sure she will remain quiet.' Messrs. Editors, if you will ask the politicans who stay around and in Ashe ville to stop agitating this question so much, we are sure the people of the country will go right in the majority of 1 M .1 . rtii J . I uuwb, ii tuey were not miea wun so mach prejudice, by our would be leaders, who care nothing for the dear people, but only want to vent their own malice. Tell them for conscience's sake to stand still and see what we will do in this mat ter. We do not need any help on this question. Tell them to remain quiet and let us exercise our own judgment in this matter. There are no legislators to be selected at present The young men of this section have a regular debating society going on every Saturday evening. Their constitution requires to elect a president and other officers, every two months, and in that two months to have one or two public discussions. Some three weeks ago a public deb ite took place, the question being: Resolved, That the - woiks of Nature give a more conclusive evidence of a Supreme being than the Bible. Rev. S. J. Morgan and J. C Sams, with the president, were the Judgi-s. The speakers on the affirmative were W. W.Morgan, L. G. Morgan, N. M. Bradley, James Goldsmith, and F. M. Stockton Negative Z. B. Hopson, E. B. Gold smith, R. Lewellen, J. E. Waddill, and Jas. N. Morgan. The discussion resulted in favor of the Negative. r ifho6eon the Affirmative not being satistied challenged the Negative again.
