Mr Clay arrived at Charlottesville on Thurs

The following extract from the Columbian
Register Of February 1918, will show Mr.. Ran
dolph', standing in Georgia at that time:
asome years ago the Legislature of Georgia
nassed an act, giving the name OF Randolph to
> county Of that State, in honor Of John Ran
dolps Of Virginia The present Legislature, 1t
anpears, have changed the name OF that county
from Randolph TO Jasper-and assigning In the
preamble Of this new act, the reasons which led
10 the measure, they say, that the Legislature
observe in Mr.. Randolph such desertion OF
correct principles, and such an attachment TO the
enemies of the United States, as to render his
name odious TO The people of Georgiatn
In one or two Northern papers we find it as
serted that Mess.s. DUNCAN and BATES, the new
Representatives in Congress from Illinois and
Missouri. are "advocates" & "staunch friends"
cfGeneral JACKSON. IT, by these expressions,
il is meant to convey the impression that these
gentlemen are opposed to the present Admins
tration, and would have voted for General Jack
son at the last election for President, there is an
evident error in the statement. Mr.. Bates was
supported as an Adams elector inMissouri, and
would, of course, have voted Tor Mr. Adams
had he been in Congress. In addition he was
supported in the late election in Missouri, on
the ground of his being friendly to the Admin
istration OF Mr.. Adams: and as such he has al
ways been considered before, and pending the
election. The accounts from Illinois, which
are most 10 be relied on, state also that General
Duncan is friend Of the Administration, and
would not have been supported on any other
political ground. He may be friend of Gen.
jackson also, for aught we know: We are not
aware that attachment to General Jackson Of
necessity involves hostility TO the present Adj
minstration: although the course pursued by
his friends indicates as m1ch Nat. Journal.
The following statement from the Report of
The Commissioners of the Morris Canal, in New
Jersey, exhibits the advantages OF Inclined
Planes as substitute for Locks. as respects e.
economy in time and labor, both in the construc
lion OF the walk and in overcoming the eleva-
ration
San inclined plane costing about $500 will,
with certainty and safety, lift boat and cargo
up height of so feetin 10 minures, while the
same operation by lockage would cost S22,5oo,
and occupy As minutes. Persons who doubt
the strength Of chain and materials, may salts
~ themselves by viewing the Dry Dock, where
vessels Of 200 tons are carried up plane less
solid than ours, which can never be subjected
10 strain of above so tons. The value of the
improvement may be estimated by considering
that, out of 1880 feet Of rise and fall about 1870
will be upon inclined planes, probably costing
SlS4,0oo, and requiring SIX hours TO pass,
whereas a loekage of the same height would
cost S662,0oo, and occupy nearly % hours,
besides an annual expense for extra lock keep
efs."
On Saturday, 26th August, young man by
the name Of Joseph Car, resident OF Roxboro',
Philadelphia county, was going from Whining
